“But you used your mouth when you talked to Uncle Yang,” Xing shook his head and said, “but you’re not used to talking with your mouth normally.”

Because Otto speaks with his mouth, while Morion is more accustomed to not speaking, it can be deduced that Morion's original appearance was not a disguise of Otto's face.

"The logic is a bit far-fetched, but it's pretty much the same." Moraine smiled and returned to his original form.

That's probably the Blazers' super intuition.

At that moment, the two suddenly heard a commotion.

"She ran that way, grab her!"

"Don't even think about running away, you illegal immigrant!"

Xing turned her head curiously and saw several hound family guards cornering a silver-haired girl against the wall.

It's a firefly.

Just as Morion had imagined, Firefly successfully exposed himself and was caught by the Hound family's sheriff at just the right time.

Despite Morion's actions delaying Star for a considerable time, Star still heard the right call at the right time and was aroused in the right way.

As expected, the final script wasn't affected by Morion's minor changes.

Seeing the firefly trapped in the corner, Xing suddenly became interested.

She rushed forward shouting things like "friendship," "bonds," and "it's my duty to protect beautiful girls"... these kinds of incomprehensible phrases.

Moraine didn't follow, watching the scene from a distance, and as expected, saw Xing mistaken for an accomplice of the illegal immigrants.

However, Gallagher, who was supposed to step in to save the day, did not appear this time.

Moraine looked around but didn't see the brown hair and gray vest she was looking for.

But in a place a little further away...

He glanced at it sideways, then quickly looked away.

Further away, the robin stood in front of the barbershop, watching what was happening.

Seemingly noticing Morion's gaze, she started talking to the hairdresser, pretending that she was just passing by.

While they were thinking, several security guards had already surrounded the two of them.

Without Gallagher this time, it's unclear how Hoshino and Firefly will manage to shake off the security guards.

Morion watched the show from the sidelines, with no intention of going up to help.

His presence became very faint, almost disappearing.

Then he swaggered into the encirclement and began to observe closely.

The situation on both sides was becoming increasingly serious, and it seemed that it was about to get out of control.

Morion suddenly seemed to sense something, and he looked down at Xing's legs.

There seems to be something in that direction.

There seemed to be a blurry shadow there, but Morion couldn't make out what it was.

But Xing seemed to be able to see it. She lowered her head and began to talk to the thing that Morion couldn't see, saying something like, "Only straightforward, innocent, childlike children can see this..."

Oh? It's Watch Boy?

Moraine looked in that direction and roughly knew what was coming.

I never expected to run into him here.

Clockwork Boy is a meme life form in Pinocchio that claims only straightforward, innocent, and childlike children can see him.

However, it is essentially a manifestation of the memories of the previously unknown Mikhail, similar to a spirit of memory, which can only be seen by those who truly possess the spirit of "pioneering".

Morion can't see; it seems he doesn't have the potential to be a galactic philanthropist.

That's a real shame.

only……

My Poké Ball is vibrating, and there seem to be rare Pokémon around.

Just as Morion was thinking about how to capture the Clockwork Boy, Star looked down and spoke to the unseen Clockwork Boy, then looked up again at the surrounding security guards.

No one knows what she did, but the security guards suddenly became depressed and melancholy. One by one, they went to the corner and squatted down. Several burly security guards started to hug each other and sob.

Sure enough, the Watch Boy found Star and taught her the "Clock Trick".

However, Moraine did not expect the Clockwork Boy to arrive so quickly and to take the initiative to find Star.

It seems that his ability to find Xing was not a coincidence, but rather because Xing himself is a pioneer.

This is probably the mutual attraction between those on their destined journeys.

Just like Stand users.

"Wow, fantastic!" Moraine clapped, offering applause and praise without reservation.

This must be a clock trick.

It is a power that the Watch Boy bestowed upon the star.

In Pinocchio's dream world, one can use memory to adjust other people's emotions.

It inherently belongs to the power of "expansion".

This is the great power of the super pioneers.

He possesses a stick that can vibrate at high speed, a long gun that can be heated, and now he has also gained the ability to control his mind. In the future, he may even be able to activate the time-stopping ability of the Train series and unlock a stick that can freely change shape.

This is really amazing.

She truly lives up to her reputation as the freest woman in the entire universe.

Liu Ying, who was pretending not to know Xing and exchanging pleasantries with Xing, was startled by the sudden appearance of Morion.

Xing, on the other hand, accepted Morion's sudden appearance quite well.

After all, people often appear inexplicably next to her.

"How about that? Pretty impressive, huh?" Xing proudly put her hands on her hips and looked at Morion.

As expected of her.

"Awesome." Morion gave a thumbs up.

"This trick is called the clockwork trick, right?" Moraine said with a laugh. "I heard what you said when you were explaining it to her."

“That’s right,” Xing nodded, “the clock trick.”

Morion looked toward Xing's legs.

"This is Watch Boy?"

"You can see him too? I didn't expect you to be so childlike." Xing looked at Morion in surprise.

“No, I can’t see it.” Morion shook his head. “I can probably only see a blurry shadow, not the real Clockwork Boy.”

"It seems I've passed the age of true innocence and naivety."

"I was just thinking..."

He paused for a moment, then continued.

“I was just thinking you’ve probably never seen a real clock trick,” he said to the shadow beside Star’s legs.

Although he couldn't see it clearly, Moraine could clearly see the shadow jump.

“He’s very indignant,” Xing translated to Moraine.

“I can tell.” Morion nodded with a smile.

“I know a real clock trick,” Moraine said, holding up a finger and waving it. “Yours is still a bit off.”

“He said, ‘Tick-tock! Then tell me, what is the real clock trick?’” Xing continued translating.

“Actually, you don’t have to change his verbal tic too.” Morion glanced at Star with amusement, then looked back at Clockwork Boy.

"I think your clockwork trick involves treating people's emotions as a compass or a clock, and then using the movement of the clock to give people's emotions a push, amplifying a certain aspect of their emotions, right?" Moraine countered.

After receiving confirmation from Xing regarding the translation, Moraine continued.

"Hmph, isn't that just taking shortcuts?"

“The clock tricks I’ve seen actually treat the world as a clock, with the hands moving back in time to change what happened before, going against the flow.” Moraine turned his gaze away from the clock boy and looked at the stars again.

“He said he didn’t believe it.” Xing shook his head.

“Then there’s nothing we can do.” Morion smiled and shrugged.

"Um, are you alright?" Xing looked at Liu Ying on the other side and noticed that, for some reason, Liu Ying seemed a little nervous.

"N-nothing..." Liu Ying forced a smile. "I was a little nervous after finally getting rid of the security guards."

She realized that Morion had just been talking about the power of the Last King.

This made her increasingly nervous, and she began to consider whether she should expel Morion from Star's side.

What happened next was pretty much what Moraine remembered.

To repay Xing for "saving her life," the firefly took Xing around during the "golden hour."

They looked at the Clockwork Boy sculpture, glanced at the Pinocchio Theatre in the distance, went to the Sorada-themed Adien Park, and watched a performance by the Meme Life Dream Theatre.

Moraine said goodbye to them at Adien Park and stayed at the park's playground.

While it was amusing to see the fireflies constantly showing wariness towards him, the next little activity had nothing to do with Morion.

He knew that Elio wouldn't allow him to enter the deepest part of the dream right now. And for the time being, he had no way to break Silver Wolf's blockade.

Sitting in front of a slot machine, Moraine inserted two tokens and pulled the lever.

She was playing her own instrument, making light and cheerful music not far away.

This is the "Dream Theatre Troupe".

In Pinocchio's Dream, many objects and facilities, influenced by memory matter, gained self-awareness. They were domesticated by the family and became a dream troupe serving the guests.
