Xingtie: Starting with an in-depth analysis of the Yellow Springs

It seems that Mikhail was indeed a navigator, and had nothing to do with a watchmaker.

[Nicole: Mikhail, who is he? This name has been appearing ever since Star in the Dream.]

“But if that’s the case, Xiaomisha should have been born on an ocean planet, living an ordinary life, and has nothing to do with Pinocchio.” March 7 guessed: “Could it be some kind of metaphor? Does the ocean refer to the Memory Realm?”

[Silver Wolf: Alright, no need to guess anymore, the ocean is the Realm of Memories.]

[Ring: As expected of March 7th, a master of prophecy.]

[March 7th: ...I...I.]

[Star: Prophet March, please make a prophecy for me too!]

[March 7th: It's all just a coincidence. Besides, what danger could you possibly be in? You're not going to be eliminated as soon as you land... haha.]

[Star: My life is over!]

[March 7th: ...Stop fooling around, don't believe what I'm saying, it's bad luck.]

Misha shook her head: "I'm sorry, I don't know either. But memories are surging up uncontrollably like water in a fountain... Maybe if I go further, I'll remember more."

The group walked back and forth through several corridors to reach Mikhail's study.

As you open the door, jazz music fills the air, creating a relaxing and comfortable atmosphere.

"Misha, you're finally here!" the Clock Boy shouted.

Misha turned around and saw the Clock Boy, feeling excited and happy.

"Clock Kid, so you're here. Oh yeah, we first met in this room too..."

Himeko looked around: "Are all these books on the wall the logbooks left by that navigator Mikhail?"

Misha looked at Himeko and answered.

“Every time Mikhail returned from a voyage, he would place a nautical logbook on the bookshelf in his room. It was a record of his exploration of every corner of the world.”

He said, "Our world is like that fountain. We don't know when it started, but the sea is slowly submerging the places where people live."

"In order to provide everyone with a place to live, Mikhail must continue to go out to sea to explore and find the source of the sea."

Misha turned her head to the side, her tone inevitably tinged with sadness.

“That day, he called me to his study and said he was going to go out to sea as usual. But I could tell that Grandpa’s expression was very serious. I had seen the same expression on Dad’s face on his last voyage.”

Looking at the three men, he said, “I begged him to take me with him, but he said my adventure wasn’t here and told me to stay home and wait patiently for the sound outside the door.”

March 7th asked in confusion, "What was that sound?"

Misha opened her bright eyes and looked up, her gaze filled with longing.

“Mikhail said that there is an even more vast ocean in the sky, an ocean of stars. There is a train carrying children who want to go far away, traveling through the sea of ​​stars without stopping.”

“He knows the people on that train, and he will ask them to take me away with him. My dream trip... will begin here.”

[Qingque: That's the Starry Sky Train, and the sea they're talking about is the sea of ​​stars.]

[This Mikhail was the watchmaker; he probably told the story of pioneering to Xiaomisha in the form of a parable.]

[Paimon: Xiaomisha really longs for travel and adventure, @Himeko, aren't you going to take him on the train?]

[Himeko: That requires the train conductor's approval, but I think it would be very happy to have the descendants of the nameless passenger joining us.]

[Pam: Of course, Pam!]

[The little millet dumpling is so cute, so fragrant and soft. It must be a boy, right?!]

Why are you getting on the bus? To help you clean!

“A train? Could it be…” March 7th scratched his head.

Misha: "It's the Star Train. I remember now, Mikhail's friends were a group of nameless travelers. They came to our world to solve a disaster caused by a star."

[Zhe: Now I understand. No wonder only the people on the train could see Misha.]

“Then Mikhail gave me his pocket watch. It was his treasure, appearing in every story of a voyage. He said the days ahead would be difficult, but the hands of the pocket watch would guide me.”

"As long as I keep taking that step forward, I'm sure I'll reach where I want to go. And then, I think I heard..."

As she spoke, Misha unconsciously lowered her head, recalling her memories.

"The train whistle sounded from the other end of the room..."

Clockwork Boy: "Yes, Misha! And then we followed the sound, right?"

Misha nodded: "Yes, I should still be able to find the way back then."

Chapter 90 That was him, the starting point of his pioneering efforts.

It seems that if you put them together, a door leading to another place will appear.

However, one fragment is missing. It seems to be the one Xing obtained when he accidentally entered this place, and it is also related to Xiaomisha.

It seems the truth is about to be revealed.

The group passed through the door and arrived at a room with a huge clock.

Misha looked around: "This is it. This... is my clock room."

The three of them did not notice the slight change in Misha's voice.

"While waiting for Mikhail's return from his voyage, Uncle Wald gave me this workshop, this toy room, my secret hideout..."

[Ring: Wait, why does Misha sound a bit more mature? Like a teenager going through puberty.]

[Hu Tao: Let me hear... Sigh, it really is, but why is that?]

Misha was noticeably more confident in her speech.

"I'm here learning to repair clockwork and gears. I love precision mechanics. I'm the captain of the Compass, and together with my companions, Clockwork Boy and Miss Mirror, we search for new continents in our dreams."

"I... was born and raised here."

[Huo Huo: Wait, why did Misha say he's the captain? Isn't he Mikhail's grandfather? ...How scary!]

[Hu Tao: Ah, how strange. The logic is clearly flawed; could a ghost really be controlling Misha?]

Is Xiaomisha really Mikhail?

Oh my god, I'm a little scared.

Himeko: "So, this building in the dream bubble is your childhood home."

Misha shook her head, her tone more mature: "Yes, but no. Perhaps it's more appropriate to say it this way..."

"This dream bubble is my home."

[Nicole: So, Misha is the inheritance! Why is she a child?]

[Walter: Think about it carefully, Misha is the memory of the vanished dream bubble—Mikhail's memory.]

[What a series of plot twists and turns!]

Himeko smiled and nodded: "It seems you've remembered everything."

March 7th looked on in confusion: "Wait, wait, wait, what's with this feeling that everyone except me is on the same wavelength?"

Xing: "That's right, you're still in the dark."

Amber: Hehe, Miss March 7th is so cute.

[March 7th: Ugh! This is terrible... Now everyone knows I'm not very bright. Oops!]

[Star: Don't be sad in March, I won't mind making you angry.]

Himeko explained, "Little Mitsuki, do you remember Hoshi mentioned before that there's a clock boy that only she can see?"

March 7th looked down at the clock boy, who was grinning with his teeth showing.

“I remember, isn’t that the one over there? We saw it at Liumeng Reef, and Uncle Yang greeted it too.”

The clock boy chuckled and tugged at his red bow tie; it was so bouncy.

"It seems that everyone on the Starry Sky Train has a very childlike heart!"

Himeko unconsciously raised her right hand: "The answer is the Starry Sky Train. Hoshi's experience proves that Miss Firefly and Miss Yomi cannot see this clock boy."

"And at Liumeng Reef, I wonder if you have noticed that, apart from the train crew, no one else has subtly had any conversation with it."

March 7th listened attentively to Himeko's analysis, while Hoshi stroked his chin thoughtfully.

"Meme life that can only be seen by a specific group of people is almost like... a secret letter left by someone for an anonymous guest."

March 7: "But then again, Misha can also see the Clockwork Boy, right? They've even grown up together, but Misha hasn't even embarked on the path of exploration yet..."

Himeko, hands on hips: "That's the key to the mystery, Misaki. Now, try to recall... Just like with Watch Boy, have you ever seen anyone outside the train crew interact with Misha?"

March 7th exclaimed in disbelief, "No way..."

[Qingque: I initially thought it was just something special, but it turns out it wasn't a real person.]

[Paimon: Does that mean Misha will never be able to leave the dream world? He really longs to travel and be on trains, sigh.]

[The sweet and soft millet paste was actually fake. I knew there couldn't be a boy like that in real life.]

[March 7th: I almost hope it's not true. It would be so nice if Xiaomisha could come with us.]

"That is the answer, Miss March 7th. This dream bubble is the cradle of my birth. I... am a dreamer no different from the Memories of the Realm."

Misha lowered her head, looking somewhat dejected.

"I should have stayed in the dream bubble to wait for your visit, but reality and memories overlapped, making me unconsciously push open the door and leave with the Clock Boy."

March 7: "So the dream bubble left by the clockmaker was empty not because it had no content, but because... its content left on its own?"

"The whistle you hear is the sound of the train arriving in Pinocchio."

[March 7th: I was right, that star... ugh, I'll never say anything bad again, please don't let anything happen to you.]

[Star: I'm the Galaxy Baseball Man. Don't worry, I can even withstand the attacks of the Doomsday Beast.]

[Ying: The characters from fairy tales have come to life.]

[Fireworks: The will to explore has spontaneously emerged to explore; this is truly amusing.]

Himeko: "That is indeed one interpretation. But there must be a much longer story behind it. I think the whole story, the parts that are still puzzling, should be explained by him himself..."

"How about we start with your name? Now, what should we call you, Misha, or..."

Misha took over the conversation.

"Thank you all for helping me find this long journey again. Let me reintroduce myself."

"I was born on the planet Lusaka in the Przesmir system, the adopted son of the navigators Mr. Mikhail and Mrs. Charles. The two elders gave me a treasure, a name that carried their hopes and wishes—"

Misha's purple eyes, with their clearly visible keyhole-shaped pupils, gaze at the camera.

“Ragvolk Shar Mikhail, or more simply… Misha.”

Misha's voice at this moment already reflects his youth.

[I guessed right, Misha is Mikhail, but not a reincarnation.]

[Ring: Wow, is this even possible? It's like being reborn.]

[Himeko: This is merely a memory left behind by Mr. Mikhail; the memories he expanded are not a new beginning.]

[I really didn't expect it to be him!]

[Pam: Ragvok... Mikhail, he was your train mechanic back then. You chose to stay here, Pam. I never thought I'd never see him again. Waaah.]

"If you wish, you may call me by the more familiar name—the watchmaker—that is also acceptable."

March 7th exclaimed in surprise: "So, you are the watchmaker himself?!"

The watchmaker smiled: "It's a pity that the dream tycoon that everyone admires is no longer here. I am just a microcosm of his life."

"And the child who has accompanied you all this time is the protagonist of his innocent childhood dream—the clockwork boy's best friend, a young apprentice, and a future train mechanic..."

“At the same time, it was also the starting point of his lifelong exploration.”
