After unwrapping the metaphorical fairy tale wrapped in the secret box, Nashida remembered everything about [Scattered Soldiers], and the modifications made by the World Tree to her memory were corrected by her on her own.

She looked at the puppet in front of her, the child who wanted to erase herself and change history, but only forgot everything and returned to its original pure white color.

The doll will be dazed for a while.

He wandered in memory for hundreds of years, without a hometown, without relatives, and without a destination.

It seemed like he could go anywhere, but no place meant anything to him.

For hundreds of years, every day, my mood has been no different from the day before.

The aimless body contains an empty soul. The only difference between it and the walking dead is the unspeakable obsession that occasionally arises.

Should I continue to wander aimlessly, or choose to retrieve my past memories and sins...

"I am a puppet, a puppet without a heart and a name. Nothing can drive me to fill it, unless it is an irreconcilable cause and effect." The wanderer has made up his mind, "I want to get back my past memories."

Nashida nodded, respected the other party's decision, and handed the unlocked memory to the other party.

"This memory was extracted from him by the scholars who created the god at that time. It was used as a backup to guard against [skirmishers]."

Creating God was only the first step, the next step was to control God. That was why they had to back up his memory for later use.

"I will present it to you in the form of a dream. It will serve as a trigger. It is up to you to determine how many memories you can awaken."

Nashida thought for a moment and looked at Sora, "Well... considering his strong aggression towards himself, this 'dream' could be dangerous. Sora, are you willing to accompany him?"

Sora nodded, and Paimon also actively joined the team, "I want to go too!"

She was also curious about this guy's past! Although she had heard a lot from Sora, there was a big difference between hearing and seeing it firsthand.

Nashida activated the power of dreams and sent the puppets, Sora, and Paimon into the memory dream.

The air around Nashida fluctuated, revealing the figure of a girl, who was wearing a small blanket and had a makeshift grass elemental cooling gel on her forehead.

Su looked at her smart friend Nashi Rabbit, feeling aggrieved and confused. "He clearly said he hated me, and he hated everything he had experienced, but now he comes here to regain his memory..."

He is not an innocent person, but what he has suffered is far beyond what an ordinary person can bear. He clearly has a chance to "rebirth", but he took the initiative to put the shackles back on himself...

"Idiot! Idiot! You're just going around in circles doing useless things!" Su really wanted to go wear a mask and beat up the stupid puppet one day.

Nashida took the girl's hand and led her to sit on the stone platform. "These things are not meaningless."

[Scattered Soldier] entered the World Tree and deleted himself, trying to undo the tragedy of the past. The Wanderer returned here, trying to retrieve his memories and sins.

It was because of seeing these that she determined that the dolls had the potential to be educated.

Furthermore, the guilty need to be punished and make amends.

For [Sanbing], death is not a complete punishment, but rather a relief. She will be responsible for guiding the puppets and making many corrections to this world.

Sue: "What Nashida means is... the puppet will be handed over to you from now on?"

Nashida gave a reliable smile and said, "Well, Su, don't worry, leave it to me."

Su's eyes lit up.

When she was in Inazuma, she had thought about capturing the puppet and handing him over to a reliable god. Nashida... is a hundred times more reliable than Ying, Zhongli and Wendy!

No! Why is she so bright? She doesn't want to care about the dolls!

Su changed the subject, "Nashida, have you confirmed what you want to confirm?"

Nashida nodded. "The state of the puppet inspired me. Everything I've experienced in the past is like a blank piece of paper with words written on it. Even if the content is erased, there will still be faint traces left."

Even if I don't have that memory, as long as I think of this trace, my heart will not be able to help but want to pursue it.

So the puppet came here and chose to regain his past memories.

And she...even though she couldn't find the memories that Kong and Su couldn't tell her, she could let it go now.

Even if her memories have been modified and erased, she herself today is the proof that that unspeakable warmth once existed.

Su breathed a sigh of relief, "Bunny, I hope you can think it through."

"Well," Nashida chuckled and peeled off the grass elemental gel on the girl's forehead, "It's time to get a new fever-reducing patch."

——*——*——

Sora, Paimon, and the Wanderer enter a memory dream.

The huge and dilapidated villa was quietly bathing in the sunset, and the red maple leaves in the courtyard were quietly falling.

The reminder sounded, "Wanderer, this is where the Thunder God places the [Scattered Soldiers], called the Borrowed Scenery House. You have many memories of your past life here."

The wanderer looked around the empty house with surprise and confusion in his eyes.

Lord Grass God should not lie to him, but he felt that... the place where he was abandoned at the beginning should be another place.

There grows a kind of soft purple grass, which smells nice and does not irritate the skin when used as a mat on the wooden bed.

Is there something wrong with this memory? Or did he hide more important memories deeper in his "previous life" and not extract them?

No matter what, his memory was indeed being pulled back by this "dream".

The wanderer walked forward eagerly, with Paimon and Sora following behind him, confused.

The wanderer slowly walked towards the thickly piled maple leaves, gently reaching out his hand to trace something.

Paimon was confused, "Uh...what is he doing?"

Sora took a deep breath and briefly recounted the encounter between the doll and Su.

Paimon was shocked, "What?! Su is there? Why don't I see anything!"

Why are you hiding it? Let her see Su!

Sora couldn't see anything.

He believes that this dream memory itself does not actually contain Su. The reason why the wanderer can "see" Su is because his memory is recovering and reproducing the memory he has hidden deeper.

There was a loud noise of rocks falling, and then people discovered the houses and dolls hidden inside the mountain.

The samurai named Katsuragi invited the puppet to accompany them to Tadokoro Sand. Along the way, the puppet who took care of his invisible friend was nicknamed "the one who loves strange things" by the people who whispered about him.

"Hmm... He is not regarded as crazy or stupid for his strange behavior. It must be because he is smart and good-looking."

Paimon, who was watching this memory, gave the correct answer.

“Not only that, but others have taken the initiative to help make up for it, calling it a ‘fantasy friend’.”

Looking over there and then looking at this one, Paimon showed an expression as if he had a toothache.

Why does it seem like this guy is enjoying this? Is it because he is the only one who can see what no one else can see, giving him the illusion that he is special?

Hey Doll! Do you remember when Su pulled your hand away from you at the Grand Bazaar?
