Has business been going well lately?
Boss Du
Thanks to you, it's been going well. Now that the Aurum Alley is bustling with people, my teahouse is garnering fame too.
Boss Du
As you know, my customers prefer a quiet environment, so they don't want the place to get too famous... I understand their requirements for privacy.
Boss Du
Next, I'd like to make full use of the space in my store and limit the crowd through a reservation system to ensure a satisfactory experience for my customers. I'm not capable of serving too many customers at once either.

Miss judge, go to what you need to do. I will stay here for a while, then take my leave.
Serious Can
You have proven yourself with your actions. We three cans shall become your aides, and win freedom once more for trashcans.

How will I learn of Propagation's secrets?
I still have some questions...
Herta
Continue along the Trail of Pathstrider, and walk along the traces already paved by those who came before you, and try your hardest to get closer to the Aeons! Don't worry! Just carry out the Paths in the way you want to.

How will I learn of Erudition's secrets?
I still have some questions...
Herta
Hmm, good question. Pay close attention to your Intra-Cognition at all times to prevent yourself from becoming a robot or totally losing your rationality. Don't think too much. You'll eventually end up following THEIR calculations anyways.

Collect Uma's opinions on the outcomes of the Dream's Edge project
Tick... tock! Quick, adjust the hands... Tick, tock!
People's minds await your exploration. Help them regain their true selves!
People's minds await your exploration. Help them regain their true selves!
Uma
The Dream's Edge? Oh... I remember it. It's the city expansion project that has been lauded to the skies by The Family, right?
Uma
For those who are full of praise, I doubt whether they have really been there. I visited the place, and I must say I'm not impressed.
Options
How so?
I agree.
Uma
To be more precise, the place is just mediocre. I didn't see anything special when I was there.
Uma
Eh? You aren't part of The Family. How did you...
Uma
...Ahem, forget it. It's none of my business. Anyway, that new city is nothing but mediocre, if you ask me.
Uma
Visitors who come to Penacony nowadays are very fussy. Just take a look at Golden Hour. I can't believe there are people who are sick of this extravagant place.
Uma
I heard that Benny guy, the head of the project, boasted about creating a dreamscape metropolis that had never been seen before. But what he and his team are churning out seems nothing new to me. It's just old wine in a new bottle.
Uma
Dreamchasers nowadays have seen it all. Gone are the days when you can easily grab attention by piling different ideas together stiffly... Miracle Benjamin's style is just outdated.
Options
Please rate his work.
Uma
Huh? I didn't know I had to do that.
Uma
If I must give his work a score... it's probably a seven-out-of-ten. Visitors who are used to Benny's usual virtual reality design might lap it up, right?
Uma
After all, it's built with Golden Hour as its foundation. The result shouldn't be too bad.
Uma
Years ago when Benny's Castle was released, I even did an interview with Miracle Benjamin Studio. At that time, they were indeed a leader in the industry.
Uma
Now... Alas, it might be true that one's ambition and talent will one day be exhausted.
Collect Sir Whittaker's opinions on the outcomes of the Dream's Edge project
Sir Whittaker
Ah, how amusing. It seems like some people are keen to know how The Family views their work but have too much pride to ask themselves. This is human nature.
Sir Whittaker
Miracle Benjamin is a team that has been well-known for quite some time in the cosmos. I've heard of their past work and accomplishments.
Sir Whittaker
Over the past half Amber Era, Miracle Benjamin has proven itself to be capable of creating memorable virtual reality worlds. The Family believes that a team like that has what it takes to be the Dreamweavers of Penacony's new city.
Sir Whittaker
However, my hopes aren't high. The Family's decision to hire this team is more of a gimmick.
Sir Whittaker
Times have changed. To some extent, a good gimmick is all that matters, but not the substance. As for Benny...
System
Sir Whittaker sneers.
Sir Whittaker
...He's a master at creating gimmicks.
Options
Care to elaborate?
He seems excited all the time...
Sir Whittaker
I do not wish to go into the details, however...
Sir Whittaker
It didn't end up well when he made that promise at the public press conference.
Options
You haven't shared your views about the project.
Sir Whittaker
My views? Well, it meets my expectations.
Sir Whittaker
By the time the city is built and ready to welcome Dreamchasers, this is what I think will happen:
Sir Whittaker
Some will come under fire for blindly supporting the project, and some will be sitting on the edge of their seats, waiting to see the studio's reputation take a nosedive. As for the rest, which makes up to ninety percent of the public, they simply won't care.
Sir Whittaker
They will come here to splurge and have a good time as usual. They never care about improvement. Anything new will be enough to meet their needs.
Sir Whittaker
Seven would be a reasonable score. The project fulfills the needs of The Family and reflects the current standard of Miracle Benjamin. Benny might argue to the contrary, but it's an irrefutable fact.
Collect Woolsey's opinions on the outcomes of the Dream's Edge project
Woolsey
Don't worry about accidents — The Family will protect each and every guest.
Options
What do you think about the Dream's Edge project?
Woolsey
Hmm...
Woolsey
With all due respect, that entire project... lacks imagination.
Woolsey
From the way I see it, their Dreamweavers seem to follow a fixed formula when they work. When it's supposed to be a creative process, they may look more like they are solving a geometric problem.
Woolsey
That's not the deal-breaker. What truly makes me sick is...
Options
What is it?
Woolsey
...Their obsession with doors.
Woolsey
You'll get what I mean when you visit the place. Doors are everywhere in the city! You have to pass through a door to enter a building, cross a pedestrian bridge, and access the rooftop garden.
Woolsey
What's the reason behind the obsession? I'm puzzled. If no one cares to explain, I'll take it as a sign of incompetence.
Options
Please give it a score out of ten.
Woolsey
Hmm...
Woolsey
I'll give it a... seven. It isn't too harsh and is fair.
Woolsey
I've been told that the team used to produce many critically acclaimed virtual reality projects back then. Who knows? Some people might be drawn to it.
Return to the Dream's Edge and report to Benny.

People's minds await your exploration. Help them regain their true selves!
Benny
The mission is yours, buddy! I need a fresh face to gather information for me, as I want to find out how The Family values our work.
Benny
If possible, I'd like them to rate our work... It's up to you who you want to approach. Don't worry, as anyone who holds a position in The Family should have already been here and tried what we have to offer.
Options
I've collected the ratings from some Family members.
Benny
You're so reliable, buddy! I knew I could trust you!
Benny
Now, tell me everything. Let me see what they think of my project.
Benny
...
Benny
Seven... Seven!?
Benny
...Are you sure the scores come from the bottom of their hearts? You didn't say anything that swayed their opinions, did you?
Options
Why would I want to do that?
Don't pin this on me...
Benny
This is outrageous... I can't accept it!
Benny
Look at the ridiculous things they said about my project! My team and I are so committed to this project. Why can't they just be grateful for what we've done?
Benny
Who made this comment? Mediocre!? Does she even know anything about the industry? We're making something ahead of this era here. She should improve her tastes before making any comments!
Benny
What does this guy mean about Miracle Benjamin being more of a gimmick than substance?
Benny
It's downright nonsense! Is he accusing us of false advertising? We mean everything we include in the advertisement. He's welcome to come here and count whether there are indeed a thousand buildings here!
Benny
We're obsessed with doors? What kind of a comment is that? Is it a joke? How about he remove all the doors in his house and see whether it makes his life better?
Benny
These two-faced scumbags from The Family! They greet us with smiling faces but criticize us behind our backs...
Benny
They can humiliate me, but they mustn't disrespect my team and our hard work! That would be crossing the line!
Benny
No way. I need to talk to them and sort things out. Why can't they speak up forthrightly if there's something they aren't happy with? Are they secretly waiting to see me making a fool out of myself? Have they forgotten this is also their project?
Benny
Thank you so much, buddy. If it weren't for your help, I might have been kept in the dark until the day I delivered the project. Please keep these tokens of my appreciation.
Woolsey

Benny
The Family members hired us to build the city, but now they're nitpicking our work behind our back...
Benny
This kind of collaboration isn't healthy. I need to talk to their supervisor and see what he has to say!
Benny
...You know us?
Benny
Oh, it's you, buddy.
Options
You seem to be in low spirits.
Have you talked to The Family?
Benny
...Is it that obvious? You see right through me at one glance.
Benny
Yes...
Benny
Well, I acted a little rashly... After all, they're the boss. What they think doesn't matter, as long as they fulfill their obligations on the contract.
Benny
Moreover, they did spring for the promotional expenses and gave us more time to complete the project...
Benny
...Don't give me that look! We, the Miracle Benjamin team, will build a fine city, as per our duties.
Benny
Even though no one thinks highly of us, we must believe in ourselves. What we're doing is unprecedented and is going to make history...
Options
You can lie to whomever you want, but not yourself.
Bring your A-game.
Benny
...You're quite a conversationalist, buddy.
Benny
Right... I must do my best, but that's not helping, buddy.
Benny
...
Benny
This is outlandish... How infuriating! They negate all our hard work with their off-the-cuff remarks!
Benny
Back in the days when Benny's Castle was just released, who would have doubted our abilities? At that time, we had enough to sustain the team by just releasing a new game version every year...
Benny
...Please leave me be for a while, buddy. I need some time to ponder about our future...
Benny
Do you know how hard it is to pretend to be confident in every promotional video? Those who haven't tried won't understand it...
System
Benny's eyes have lost their usual glint, and he no longer exudes his typical air of confidence.
Benny
Looks like our time has truly come to an end, buddy...
Benny
I have no idea what went wrong. Everything is the same, be it the team or me... Have we really been abandoned by the market?
Benny
I'm at my wit's end, buddy... There's no turning back for us now. The next project will decide Miracle Benjamin's fate...
System
Benny is absorbed in his thoughts. You aren't used to his composure and calmness.
Benny
Actually, seven isn't that bad after I've given it some thought.
Benny
Miracle Benjamin is already a household name. Even if there are mixed reviews about our work, I believe a lot of Dreamchasers will still be drawn here because of our reputation.
Benny
The launch of our last virtual reality simulator, Apocalyptic Benny: Hero Baptised In Fire, was a disaster in the beginning, but we managed to pull through. What's there to be afraid of this time?
Benny
The outsiders can say whatever they want... I have faith in my team. We should focus on completing the project without letting other things distract us.

Benny's eyes are gleaming. His demeanor reminds you of how he looked when you first met him.
Benny
Today is a good day, buddy! Let's put all the bad things behind us! Move those gears in your head! Get those arms moving!
Benny
We're the Dreamweavers from Miracle Benjamin. We're going to make history in Penacony!
Benny
If they can't see the greatness of our work, it's their problem, just like those guys who complain that our virtual reality products aren't "real" enough. It's probably time they upgrade their parts.
Benny
Let's look on the bright side. We'll be able to earn enough capital through this project to fund what we really want to do.
Benny
We'll turn the table eventually! We're going to channel all our resources into our next project: Benny's Castle: Seabed Rebirth and prove those who look down on us wrong!

...No one is in the position to speak ill of my accomplishments! Nobody!
System
The corners of Benny's mouth start twitching. You can tell he's an easygoing guy who rarely loses his cool.
Benny
About a century ago when I was still a student, my friends and I gathered and talked about our dreams.
Benny
While most of them aspired to be athletes, politicians, or businessmen, I was the only one who wanted to be a virtual reality designer who could create a perfect and immersive world for everyone.
Benny
Everyone laughed at me, thinking I was a dork who only spent my time playing galactic warchess at home —but see who's the successful one now? Who has the last laugh?
Benny
With decades of hard work, I've transformed Miracle Benjamin from a small studio to a level that my predecessors could never have imagined...
Benny
...No one is in the position to speak ill of my accomplishments! Nobody!
