The streets were filled with cheerful advertisements, and the pedestrians on the roadside were all smiling.

There were even billboards that danced.

Even the air was filled with a pleasant, sweet aroma.

The high-rise buildings are covered with all sorts of advertisements, and the roadside is lined with all kinds of decorations.

Above us was a starry sky and a floating city that appeared faintly beyond it.

Facing the entrance is the grand theater, which floats in the distance and is considered a famous landmark of Pinocchio, shaped like a spinning top with rings around it.

Further on are many more "cities".

Those are other "moments".

Moraine noticed that people dressed as waiters were looking at her from beside the archway.

He was a gentleman from the Celestial Ring Clan, with a floating ring on his head, two small wings growing from the back of his head, and wearing a neat suit.

It wasn't the Sunday and Robin that Moraine was familiar with, just an ordinary Sky Ring Clan waiter.

People who are new to the dream may experience a feeling of "weightlessness" and fall from the sky to the ground when they enter the "golden moment".

It is normal for the body and mind to be out of sync in dreams.

In some severe cases, it can even lead to complete paralysis.

Although there will be no danger, the pain is unavoidable.

In response, the family has arranged for a special "tuner" to greet travelers at the entrance of the "golden hour" and "tune" their bodies for the first time in the dream, helping them become familiar with their dream body.

But Moraine doesn't seem to have this problem.

He was already on the ground when he opened his eyes, without experiencing the sensation of falling from the sky.

Perhaps it's because his body changes so frequently that he's much more adaptable than the average person.

He accepted it very well.

In the dream, Moraine took control of her body and did not feel any sense of disharmony.

The smiling waiter glanced at Morion, and seeing that he seemed normal, quickly looked away, waiting for the next newcomer to enter Pinocchio, ready to "tune" him if he found himself unable to control his body.

"See? I didn't stand you up." Hanabi's voice came from behind again.

"Why do you always like to appear behind people?" Morion turned around and found Fireworks behind him.

“I arrived a little later than you, so I’m definitely behind you,” Hanabi said matter-of-factly. “My floor is higher than yours.”

"This pattern doesn't exist in dreams, does it?"

"Then don't worry about it."

Moraine chuckled, turned around, and gestured with her head for him to lead the way.

"Let's go, Director Hua."

"Director Hana?" Hanabi repeated the title and happily agreed.

"Hanabi-sama likes this name~!"

She skipped and hopped past Morion, her twin ponytails swinging merrily behind her head.

"Keep up, keep up."

Morion wasn't worried about anything and followed after them, staff in hand.

The two left one after the other.

Soon, the two bypassed the square and a street, walked down a descending staircase, and arrived at a neighborhood.

Morain was led by Fireworks to the Dream Street shopping mall on the lower level of the shopping center.

Pinocchio's "World's End" pub is located under an arched bridge and has been well-renovated to blend in with its surroundings.

There were several advertisements for Sulex hanging above, and even the signboard featured similar glass bottle soda.

The only thing that truly captures the "end of the world" style is probably the peach, apricot, and plum-shaped door frame above the main entrance.

The atmosphere in front of the door was lively, with people singing and dancing, creating a joyful atmosphere.

However, they were not wearing masks, and were probably just ordinary people who had stumbled into the tavern by mistake. They might not have a clear understanding of what a "tavern" was, and probably just felt that they would be incredibly happy as long as they drank there.

At Pinocchio, "emotion" is a commodity.

So this situation is quite common and not surprising.

There's even an "Emotional Pawnshop" right across from the tavern.

Customers can pawn their own "emotions" at the pawn shop, or buy other people's "emotions".

"Ta-da~, this is it!" Hanabi made a "shining entrance" gesture.

“There’s something I’m actually quite curious about.” Morion looked at the door and stroked his chin.

"You say it." Hanabi tilted her head and looked up at Morion, who was two heads taller than her.

"The family must be quite wary of the Fool, right? Why would they allow you to open a branch of a tavern here?" Morion turned and lowered his head.

"Well," Hanabi said, a smile playing on her lips.

“Because the door to the ‘World’s End’ tavern can appear anywhere on any planet,” she explained, holding up one finger.

“Note that it’s ‘any’.” Hanabi wagged her finger.

"The owner of this dream initially tried to stop it and made many attempts."

She rested her chin on her hand.

"For example, cleaning up the tavern, charging exorbitant rent, or even simply blocking the tavern's door with a wall."

"But it didn't work. He blocked the door with a wall, and the tavern door opened through that wall."

In the end, he still had no choice but to give up.

This is referring to the Dream Master, right? Not many people here know him.

Moraine seemed to be deep in thought.

I never expected Hanabi to tell me directly.

"Okay, so next..."

Hanabi walked to the tavern door and pushed it forward.

"Welcome to the end of the world~".

Chapter 105 The Masked Fool? (A 6,000-word chapter, bonus for the Alliance Leader)

Stepping into the tavern, you'll find a spacious front hall.

The walls here are covered with posters of all sizes, some of which depict people, and others of scenery.

The decorations included ribbons, balloons, and various masks.

Facing the main entrance is a bar counter, on which are written two sentences.

"All drinks in our shop are made from jokes. If you have a low threshold for laughter, please drink accordingly."

In addition, there are various seats, booths, and private rooms around the area. There is a small stage against the wall where people are playing musical instruments and the music is very cheerful.

The lights were bright and warm-toned, and the whole bar was filled with jokes and laughter from all directions, without the deliberately created ambiguous atmosphere that is common in bars.

It's less of a tavern and more of a circus.

On the wall next to the bar hung a sign with a "No" symbol and a mask, below which read "Aha, mourners are not allowed."

Aha, that's the name of the star god of pleasure.

"After the 666th invitation to Aha went unanswered, the younger generation of fools collectively voted to expel the God of Joy from the [Pleasure] destiny." Hanabi noticed Morion looking at the sign and explained it to him.

Her tone sounded like that of a conscientious tour guide.

“Director Hua really enjoys being a tour guide,” Morien said with a smile.

"Doesn't this make Lady Hanabi seem knowledgeable and worldly?" Hanabi looked up and replied.

After saying that, she put her hands on her hips and stood still.

"Alright, this is the tavern." Hanabi turned to Morion and said.

"How is it? Is it a little different from what you imagined?"

"I've heard that many fools, when they first enter a tavern, find that the real tavern is not what they imagined, and feel somewhat disappointed."

“Is that really the case?” Morion replied. “I find it quite acceptable.”

Because he had seen the tavern in the game, Morion accepted it fairly well.

They've probably already been disappointed once before.

In fact, when Morion first heard about taverns, he really thought of them as "sanctuaries of pleasure".

Just as "Exploration" is to the "Starry Sky Train," "Pure Beauty" is to the "Pure Beauty Knights," and "Preservation" is to the "Amber King Sightseeing Seven-Day Loop Tour."

Unfortunately, when the "tavern" in the game first appeared in front of Morion, he was only disappointed.

The only thing he could console himself with was, "Perhaps the tavern on the surface isn't the real tavern; maybe there's a real 'World's End' tavern headquarters."

"Is that so? Is that so?" Hanabi walked in front of Morion, looking at Morion as she backed away.

"But you might actually see something disappointing in a little while," Hanabi warned Morion.

“I can probably guess.” Morion smiled.

The fact that Hanabi took the initiative to talk to him probably means that she realized he was more inclined towards the "old school" of the tavern.

In a pub dominated by "new generation" people, it might be a bit hard to accept.

"Then you'd better be prepared," she reminded her.

"Hmm." Morion nodded and turned to look at the paintings on the wall.

Their arrival did not seem to attract the attention of the others in the tavern.

Inside the tavern, the patrons chatted, drank, and told jokes.
