Sensing sothing off, Firefly began to think seriously.
Based on what she had seen of Pei Guang's behavior since eting him, she felt that Sparkle's identity wasn't quite right.
But just as she was thinking, Pei Guang walked up to her, patted her shoulder, and said: "What are you thinking about? Ti to head out~"
Firefly: "Mm, but… do we really have to fight? I…"
Pei Guang: "Of course! But don't worry, you won't need to fight yourselves. Stelle already confird the enemy's strength, and I've got a backup plan here. If things get dangerous, we can run~"
Firefly: "Then… alright. Actually, if it's just a normal fight, I could still…"
Before Firefly could finish, Sparkle cut in: "Fight? You an a brawl? Can I join?"
Pei Guang: "Hm? Sure. But I've got a question—are you an adult?"
At his question, Sparkle replied a little coyly: "Mm, not telling you~"
Pei Guang: "Got it, underage."
Sparkle: "?"
Sparkle had wanted to play coy and keep her age mysterious, but sohow just acting shy for a mont had made Pei Guang decide she was underage?
Already suspicious of Sparkle, Firefly seized the chance: "Since she didn't deny it, that ans she is~ But in that case, is it okay?"
Pei Guang nodded: "No problem. I like playing with m1nors~"
The mont those words ca out, Firefly's eyes widened.
He liked underage girls? Was Pei Guang a pervert?
No, that wasn't it. She quickly sensed sothing odd about his words.
From the mont she t him, Pei Guang's speech had been full of strange quirks. Thinking carefully, she realized he always told the truth: but his "truth" was almost always a literal statent about sothing specific.
So when Pei Guang said, "I like playing with m1nors," the key word was "playing."
With that in mind, and looking at the context, Firefly suddenly guessed at sothing.
But Pei Guang's next words interrupted her train of thought.
"Don't worry, I'm a proper guy, not a pervert~"
Hearing this, Sparkle spoke softly: "I believe you~ Because you're a good person~."
As the saying goes, onlookers see clearly, but those involved are confused. Sparkle, who had been on the receiving end of Pei Guang's attention, had spent little actual ti with him—most of what she knew ca from hearsay or watching parts of his streams.
To her, this line sounded like Pei Guang had so kind of special hobby, and her current appearance perfectly fit that hobby.
That thought instantly made Sparkle happy.
Watching Sparkle's joy, Pei Guang's face broke into an even creepier smile. Firefly grew serious at the sight of that perverse grin, while Sparkle looked nervous.
If Stelle and March had been here, they would have cried out in alarm at once.
Because when Pei Guang showed that creepy look, it always ant he was planning to trick soone. And Pei Guang's habit had even rubbed off on Stelle, which ant that once Stelle started looking creepy, soone—or often a lot of people—was about to have a very bad day.
Pei Guang looked at Sparkle with excitent: "Don't worry. If you can't fight, I'll just put you sowhere safe. I've got plenty of experience protecting minors. Let's go! We're heading to the border to farm monsters for coins."
Firefly raised her hand: "Since we're going to the border… I actually know a path…"
Pei Guang waved his hand: "No need. You were going to say you've got a secret passage that leads where we want to go, right?"
Firefly nodded: "That's right! And also…"
Just as she was about to continue, she saw Sparkle watching eagerly from the side. The mont she saw her, Firefly decided to swallow her words.
She had originally wanted to take Pei Guang to a very beautiful spot: a place with hardly any people, one she really loved. It was her secret hideout.
Since Pei Guang was willing to take her along, she had been ready to share her favorite place with him.
But now that Sparkle was here as a third wheel, she no longer wanted to go—not because she didn't want Pei Guang to see it, but because she didn't want Sparkle to.
Sparkle clearly had problems, and taking soone like that there would only sour her mood.
Of course, whether she had other thoughts, only Firefly herself knew.
Seeing Firefly hesitate, Pei Guang patted her shoulder again: "Relax~ we're not taking your secret passage this ti. Hm~ it's not that I dislike your passage, but if we really went that way, it'd definitely be crawling with enemies, right?"
If Firefly had just said she knew a path, Pei Guang might have followed. But the mont she said "secret passage," he refused.
Right now, Pei Guang was imagining all kinds of awful scenarios, like so ancestral tomb passageway full of traps, designed so every trip through claid a few lives. Or worse, a "secret passage" that literally anyone could walk through.
Firefly: "Then… how do we get there? Do we… get hit by a car again?"
Rembering how Stelle had once gotten sent to the border by being hit by a car, Sparkle had the urge to complain, but the words stuck in her throat.
Pei Guang: "No need for all that trouble—we can just walk straight there."
Sparkle: "Walk straight? But there are so, so many buildings here~"
Pei Guang raised his finger and shook it: "No no no~ these aren't lots of buildings, they're lots of tunnels~ Co on! I'll take you both quickly to the border."
Both Firefly and Sparkle were curious what thod he would use. Pei Guang then revealed his plan.
From the mont he arrived in this dream, Pei Guang had a lot of bold ideas: he'd just never had the chance to try them. Now the opportunity had co, and he was going to enjoy himself.
His plan was simple. First, he drew out his weapon and began digging into the ground and buildings of Penacony.
In Penacony, no matter what was destroyed, buildings or otherwise, everything would eventually return to normal after a while.
So Pei Guang simply used his wooden sword to dig chunks out of the architecture, and before long he had excavated over a hundred cubic ters of standard-sized building material.
With those materials in hand, Pei Guang began his plan. Mimicking the actions of the MC block-shaped figures, he placed a cube beside a building, and the block stuck firmly to it.
Then Pei Guang dug out the building next to the block, leaving the cube floating in midair. What happened next made not just Firefly and Sparkle, but even any Dreamweavers watching, feel their heads buzz—the block was floating.
The floating cube seed to have invisible support. Pei Guang climbed on top, jumping and moving around without any problem.
At that mont, a satisfied smile spread across Pei Guang's face: "Mm~ I knew it. If we can clip through fragile buildings, why not floating ones? Turns out this feature was waiting in the dream world!"
From the start, Pei Guang had tried to see if floating blocks were possible here. As a classic chanic in sandbox gas, he was surprised at first that it didn't seem to work.
But since "glitches exist," he figured it was either not yet unlocked or only usable in special maps.
Now in the dream, he had planned to try again. Until now, he never had the chance, but when he finally tried… success.
