Chapter 288: Chapter 288: A masterpiece forged under Stelle’s emotional resonance! Don’t underestimate my bond with trash cans!

『 [ Oh, oh, so that’s how it is, bana. ]

March 7th nodded, indicating she understood.

[ Bana? ]

March 7th’s speech suddenly became very banana-like, making Stelle and Dan Heng feel quite strange.

[ Ugh! ]

March 7th gasped, suddenly realizing what had happened.

[ Bana, bana, don’t worry. ]

[ Memetic dye can infect the viewer’s emotions. It seems this painting has helped this student understand the bana-sound much better! ]

[ Very good! ]

[ The demonstration is over. Are there any students who want to come up and try? ] 』

『 ....』

March 7th: "Oh no, oh no, I’ve fallen for it too!"

March 7th: "What should I do? I don’t want to talk all banana-like!"

Stelle: "What are you afraid of? Just pretend you’re mimicking the Conductor."

Stelle: "Except you’re changing ’Pam’ to ’Bana’."

Pam: "Please, Passenger Stelle, do not make fun of the Conductor’s speech habits, Pam!!"

Furina de Fontaine: "Was Miss March 7th infected just by looking at that painting?"

Furina de Fontaine: "Is there something wrong with the paint in the spray cans?"

Dan Heng: "He said it’s Memetic dye."

Dan Heng: "From the looks of it, there’s a high probability it’s Memetic dye that has been tampered with."

Hu Tao: "Does it only affect speech habits?"

Hu Tao: "Then it’s not too big of a problem."

Boothill: "Not too big?!"

Boothill: "Son of a nice lady, I absolutely despise having a mouth full of bananas!"

....

『 [ What’s going on... ]

[ My mouth is speaking on its own. There’s definitely something wrong with this class. ]

Regarding the situation just now, March 7th was still a bit dazed. She clearly hadn’t wanted to say that, but her mouth had opened involuntarily.

[ I’ll go and investigate. ]

Dan Heng pondered for a moment and decided to personally investigate what this BananAdvisor was up to.

[ Hmm... But you’d draw too much attention if you started speaking Bananese too, Dan Heng. ]

[ It’s better if Stelle and I go. ]

[ The two of us aren’t usually that serious anyway. Even if we make fools of ourselves, it won’t stand out too much. ]

March 7th felt that with Dan Heng’s serious demeanor, if he fell for it, it would be hard to explain. So she looked at Stelle.

[ Wait, who are you calling not serious? ]

Stelle felt that March 7th was slandering her!

[ What are you pretending for at a time like this? Let’s go. ]

[ BananAdvisor! The two of us want to try! ] 』

『 ....』

—?Omniscient Viewer’s Chat Lodge?—

Stelle: "Waaa, March is slandering me! When have I ever been not serious?"

Silver Wolf: "If you’re serious, then there are no unserious people left in this world."

Stelle: "I’m just being humorous and witty, not unserious!"

March 7th: "Alright, in a situation like this, even if I didn’t call you, you’d probably be dying to go up and perform!"

March 7th: "Do you think I don’t know you?"

Stelle: "You got that right. I just love joining in on the fun!"

Stelle: "Watch me utterly crush this BananAdvisor’s conspiracy and see what kind of medicine he’s selling!"

Lingsha: "Pfft, what does that even mean?"

Bailu: "I haven’t authorized my prescriptions to Penacony. You couldn’t possibly see my secret medicine there!"

Paimon: "I just hope Miss Stelle and Miss March 7th won’t start crying out ’bana, bana’ in a bit."

Paimon: "Though, thinking about it, it would be quite cute."

Lumine: "The person in front of Miss March 7th is that Miss Chaletka, the president of the Dessert Club from before?"

Lumine: "It looks like she wants to try too?"

Dan Heng: "If I could, I’d like to warn her not to try it."

Dan Heng: "But under the BananAdvisor’s nose, such small movements would be too obvious and might alert the enemy."

....

『 [ I... I want to try too. ]

Chaletka also walked out, calling out weakly to the BananAdvisor

[ Great, everyone come on up! ]

[ Students who perform excellently will be rewarded with credits, bana. ]

The BananAdvisor stepped aside, assigning several walls along the corridor to the students who were ready to try.

So the few of them dispersed, each finding an empty wall to prepare their drawings.

Stelle, naturally, was in no rush. She began looking around, wandering here and there, preparing to see how the others were drawing.

[ Keep a peaceful mind, think of the thing you want to create, let your emotions and... emotions and what again? ]

Stelle walked near March 7th and saw her with a serious face, trying to recall the techniques taught by the BananAdvisor, but she just couldn’t seem to remember.

"Uh... is she really going to be okay..."

Stelle began to doubt whether March 7th was truly suited for the Dreamweaving class. 』

『 ....』

—?Omniscient Viewer’s Chat Lodge?—

March 7th: "Wait, how did that BananAdvisor teach it again?"

March 7th: "Let your emotions resonate with what?"

March 7th: "I really forgot!"

Stelle: "LMAO, March, you’re even more dazed in class than I am."

Stelle: "You forgot right after being taught."

Nahida: "It is to let your emotions resonate with the materials."

Nahida: "It probably means establishing a magical connection with the spray paint can in your hand."

Amber: "I can’t imagine what that would feel like."

Amber: "How can a person’s emotions resonate with paint?"

Kaeya: "Haha, Penacony doesn’t follow that kind of logic."

Kaeya: "It sounds like a place that would suit little Klee very well."

Klee: "Penacony is an amazing giant playground!"

Klee: "Klee really wants to go!"

Klee: "I’ve already written a letter to Mommy, hoping she can take me there to play!"

Paimon: "I think she probably won’t be able to go, right?"

....

『 [ Slumbernana Monkey... Slumbernana Monkey... ]

Stelle walked over to Chaletka and found her eyes tightly shut, seemingly trying hard to visualize the Slumbernana Monkey.

It was obvious she was having a very difficult time.

Stelle shook her head, not disturbing her, and turned back to her own spot to start drawing.

[ (This pristine wall is about to change, taking on your colors. Just thinking about it makes your tiny hand, clutching the dream paint, tremble with excitement. This will be a masterpiece that transforms Paperfold University.) ]

Holding the spray can in her hand, Stelle looked at the wall in front of her, her heart swelling with excitement!

[ Hurry up and draw! Any more dawdling and class will be over, bana! ]

Perhaps seeing that Stelle had been spacing out for too long, the BananAdvisor suddenly shouted a reminder.

[ Damn, a big-headed monkey who doesn’t understand art actually interrupted my artistic train of thought! ]

[ Whatever, time is indeed short, so let’s do this! ]

Stelle closed her eyes and began to try to resonate with the paint in her hand, following the method taught by the BananAdvisor.

[ First, maintain a peaceful mind... ]

Stelle’s mind entered a peaceful state, and then she thought of that charming and profound trash can!

[ Next, think of the thing you want to create... ]

[ The BananAdvisor said we must create a Slumbernana Monkey? ]

[ But why should I listen to him? ]

Stelle recalled the BananAdvisor’s requirement, but being naturally rebellious, she didn’t plan to comply.

[ Bana bana, bana bana... ]

However, as soon as this thought appeared in Stelle’s mind, the banana-like sounds of the Slumbernana Monkey began to ring continuously in her head!

It seemed to be the will of the paint can in her hand resisting!

Thus, only the image of the Slumbernana Monkey remained in Stelle’s mind.

[ Sigh, looks like I can only draw a monkey... ]

Stelle sighed, helplessly compromising.

[ No, do not yield! ]

Suddenly, a voice like an ancient whisper echoed in Stelle’s heart once more!

Following that, the figure of a muscular trash can actually appeared in her mind!

It was Shatana, who had given her quests back in the trash can world!

It actually suppressed the noise of the Slumbernana Monkey, bringing Stelle’s will back to her! 』

『 ....』

—?Omniscient Viewer’s Chat Lodge?—

Silver Wolf: "My goodness, what a colorful inner monologue."

Silver Wolf: "Are you putting on a grand drama in your head?"

Stelle: "Damn, it actually broadcast my inner thoughts and what I was thinking in my head."

Stelle: "Fortunately, I was just drawing and wasn’t thinking about anything weird."

March 7th: "Isn’t this weird enough?"

March 7th: "What on earth is a trash can suppressing a Slumbernana Monkey?!"

Lumine: "Shatana?"

Lumine: "Oh, I remember!"

Lumine: "That’s the trash can that asked Miss Stelle for help in that trash can world!"

Paimon: "Thank goodness it appeared in time!"

Paimon: "Otherwise, Miss Stelle’s thoughts would have been swayed by the Slumbernana Monkey’s noises!"

Furina de Fontaine: "Uh... the Slumbernana Monkey’s noises couldn’t beat a trash can?"

Stelle: "Hmph, do not underestimate the bond between me and the trash cans!"

Qingque: "As expected, when it comes to being abstract, you’re the master!"

Qingque: "When others are losing consciousness, it’s either some divine sword protecting its master or their mind suddenly clearing up."

Qingque: "But you? A trash can directly comes to protect its master, huh?"

Li Sushang: "Isn’t this actually kind of hype!"

Li Sushang: "Compared to these weird, brainwashing monkeys, even this muscular trash can looks quite handsome!"

Hanabi: "Of course. How could a mere monkey compare to an image designed by the great Hanabi-sama?"

....

『 [ Long time no see, Outlander. ]

[ You are our clan’s savior and the king-hunter who took away the trash. How could you give in now? ]

Shatana’s powerful words echoed in Stelle’s ears.

[ Ba! Banana!! ]

The Slumbernana Monkey’s noises continued to sound, seemingly trying to cut off the communication between Shatana and Stelle.

[ Shut it, monkey from another land! You can’t just break our destined chain so easily! ]

Shatana bellowed, beginning to clash with the Slumbernana Monkey!

Consequently, two different images clashed in Stelle’s mind.

[ (Lastly, channel your emotions to resonate with the materials!) ]

A surge of passionate emotion filled her heart. Stelle felt the time was right, and she suddenly raised the spray can in her hand!

With a smooth and flowing motion, Stelle’s heartfelt masterpiece was completed! 』

『 ....』

—?Omniscient Viewer’s Chat Lodge?—

Silver Wolf: "A baseball bat and a trash can?"

Silver Wolf: "This is your masterpiece??"

Stelle: "Otherwise?"

Stelle: "Does it not sufficiently express my emotions just now?"

Nahida: "Yes, it is indeed a work born from strong emotional resonance."

Nahida: "It touches the viewer immediately."

Xilonen: "How exactly did that Shatana trash can appear?"

Xilonen: "I still don’t get it. Are these trash can people real, or are they fictional?"

Dan Heng: "They should only exist within fictional Dream Bubbles."

Dan Heng: "But from the looks of it, they seem to truly exist in other places as well."

Dan Heng: "Let’s just consider it a quirk of Penacony for now."

March 7th: "I feel like we can’t rule out Miss Hanabi playing some tricks either."

March 7th: "Making those weird trash cans actually come to life."

Mualani: "In any case, I think these trash cans seem very righteous."

Mualani: "Most of them are noble cans!"

Stelle: "Exactly, they are all my partners of justice!"

Yunli: "You really are amazing."

Yunli: "Your bond with the trash cans actually made them materialize."

Yunli: "Even though I chat with my sword every day, I still can’t achieve this level..."

Huaiyan: "Hahaha, there are so many eccentric talents across the stars."

Huaiyan: "Little Yunli, you need to work harder!"

....

『 [ Tsk, what a perfect masterpiece! ]

Stelle admired her emotionally charged painting, nodding in great satisfaction.

Then, she went to find the BananAdvisor for evaluation.

[ Bana? Already finished? ]

[ It’s about time. Let’s begin the critique— ]

The BananAdvisor walked up to Stelle’s painting and began his evaluation.

[ Oh!! ]

[ This painting... what on earth is this! ]

[ Why is it full of trash cans? ]

[ Where is the monkey? ]

[ 0 points! ]

Upon seeing Stelle’s painting, the BananAdvisor flew into a rage and, as expected, gave it 0 points!

This made Stelle quite indignant.

[ Outlander... thank you for your painting. Doing what you believe is right is the pride of a trash can! ]

Shatana’s appreciative voice echoed in Stelle’s mind, instantly making her feel that her drawing was actually amazing, and it was just this trashy BananAdvisor who lacked artistic appreciation. 』

『 ....』

—?Omniscient Viewer’s Chat Lodge?—

Himeko: "Hehe, don’t you think this trash can, which has a strong connection with Stelle, speaks with quite a Trailblaze flavor?"

Welt Yang: "Hmm, perhaps they were infected by Stelle’s Trailblaze will?"

March 7th: "Tsk, tsk, what a Trailblazing trash can!"

Stelle: "What an idiot, BananAdvisor."

Stelle: "Does he even understand art?"

Stelle: "How dare he give me zero points?"

Qingque: "How bold indeed!"

Qingque: "He has already found his path to demise! (smug.jpg)"

Furina de Fontaine: "Although she didn’t follow the prompt, giving a flat zero is indeed too biased."

Yanqing: "No, to this BananAdvisor, probably only the Slumbernana Monkey qualifies as art."

Yanqing: "If it’s not a drawing of the Slumbernana Monkey, it probably won’t get any points at all."

Boothill: "What a load of bullcrap, teacher, purely misleading the students!"

Robin: "As far as I know, Paperfold University rarely uses the Sweet Dream Troupe for teaching."

Robin: "These BananAdvisors were likely arranged by the mastermind behind the scenes."

Robin: "It has indeed severely disrupted the normal teaching of Paperfold University."

....

『 [ Hmph, let’s look at the next student’s work... ]

[ What in bananas is this?]

The BananAdvisor walked over to March 7th, but the wall in front of her was spotless, with no drawings whatsoever.

Only a massive, glass-like block of Six-Phased Ice floated quietly in front of the BananAdvisor.

[ L—Let me explain... ]

March 7th scratched her head, frantically trying to come up with an excuse.

[ Ninja Six-Phased Ice! ]

[ What a powerful Ice Style! The Ninja Ruri is truly a Jonin! ]

Rappa, who was nearby, came over to join in on the fun. Seeing the beautiful Six-Phased Ice March 7th had conjured, she couldn’t help but praise it!

[ No, this Dreamweaving method is just too similar to conjuring Six-Phased Ice. I couldn’t tell the difference. ]

March 7th tried to defend herself, but in the next second, she heard the BananAdvisor gasp in admiration!

[ So, so strong, bana! ]

[ To weave such a massive object in such a short time, this is truly comparable to the technique of a professional Dreamweaving monkey... ]

This kind of talent truly astounded the BananAdvisor!

[ Wow, Mr. Reca really didn’t lie to me. I really am a genius! ] 』

『 ....』

Stelle: "Oh my~ so March 7th’s talent for construction is shown here?"

Stelle: "Who would have thought?!"

March 7th: "Ha, as expected of yours truly!"
