Chapter 136

Stelle: "As long as you can let me use your reputation to play around in Penacony."

Stelle: "Of course, if you don't lack a younger sister, I can also be your older sister!"

Sunday: "......."

Robin: "........"

March 7th: "???"

Silver Wolf: "If a tree loses its bark, it will surely die."

Silver Wolf: "If Stelle loses her face, she is invincible!"

11 system hours before the opening of the Charmony Festival,

on the other side of the Dreamflux Reef.

【...】

【Brother, look!】

【There is a little bird here.】

In the garden,

a little girl carved from pink jade,

carefully holding a weak little bird in her hands,

shouted to her brother beside her.

【Looks like a little Charmony Dove.】

【But this isn't the habitat of Charmony Doves, why is it here all alone?】

【Was it abandoned by its parents?】

The girl's brother recognized the little bird in his sister's hands,

and showed a puzzled expression.

【It looks like it doesn't have any strength at all...】

【Shall we find a soft cushion and make a bird's nest for it?】

The girl looked at the weak little Charmony Dove,

and said with some sympathy.

【It's too dangerous here.】

【Let's take it back first, just put it on the wooden frame by your window.】

The brother looked at the surrounding environment,

and decided it was safer to take this little Charmony Dove back for now.

【Okay, its singing voice must be very pleasant.】

【But where will it live?】

The girl nodded,

and then looked at her brother.

【I will ask the Family head to build a birdcage for it.】

The brother answered quickly.

【Cage... then won't it be unable to fly freely?】

The girl was a bit hesitant about her brother's suggestion.

【Let me see... what makes the two most excellent interpreters of the Lord so curious that they even forgot to taste the dessert after the meal?】

【Oh... poor little thing, the situation is probably not optimistic.】

【Do you want to save it?】

While the siblings were talking,

a gentle voice suddenly sounded.

Immediately, a strange and kind old man,

appeared in front of them.

【Want to... but I don't think it should be locked up.】

The girl answered crisply.

【Why?】

The old man asked in a gentle tone.

【Although it is still small, its feathers haven't grown fully, and it can't sing...】

【But it wasn't born just to live in a cage.】

【Birds... are born to belong to the sky.】

Although the girl was young,

she already had her own ideas.

【Very romantic idea.】

【Then what about you, little doctor, do you agree with your sister's point of view?】

The old man asked the girl's brother again.

【I think my sister is right...】

【But if we leave it in the wild, it won't survive for a few days.】

The brother seemed a bit lost.

【Hehe, it seems our little doctor is still a bit confused.】

【How about this, children, let me tell you a story.】

【You should know that the Charmony Dove is a bird that can fly across the atmosphere.】

【When flying at high altitudes, their feathers will emit magnificent light due to the high temperature caused by friction, just like meteors.】

【We are used to this beautiful scenery, thinking it is their innate ability...】

【Unfortunately, that meteor-like brilliance is the result of their struggle with nature for hundreds of Amber Eras.】

【The ancestors of the Charmony Dove were too weak to win in the struggle for survival on the ground.】

【In order to avoid the fate of being hunted, they began to look up at the sky, flapping their wings and leaping up...】

【Just like that, after thousands and tens of thousands of generations of attempts, one bird in the flock finally learned how to flap its wings correctly.】

【It successfully flew up, and from then on said goodbye to the earth.】

Seeing the boy a bit confused,

the old man slowly told a story about the Charmony Dove,

to the siblings.

【So, actually, birds are not born to fly, but they did it by their own will, right?】

The girl, from this story,

interpreted her own view.

【Hehe, this is indeed an idealistic interpretation.】

【Then, Sunday, what do you think?】

The old man still asked Sunday.

【I...】

【I think, the reason why people think flying is the nature of birds...】

【Is because they have never seen a bird fall to its death.】

Sunday pondered for a moment,

and answered.

【This line of thinking is also very interesting.】

【Then you should know how to treat this little bird now, right?】

The old man looked kindly at Sunday.

【I will... hmm, put it in a cage first, at least until it can survive on its own.】

【Because...】

【I... want it to live no matter what.】

Sunday looked at this little Charmony Dove,

his eyes gradually becoming firm.

【Very good, children, it seems you each have your own answers in your hearts.】

【Your vision is infinitely beautiful, and I sincerely hope they can be realized in their own ways.】

The old man seemed very satisfied with the siblings' answers.

【We will take good care of it.】

【Right, brother?】

The girl,

who is Robin,

looked happily at her brother.

【Hmm.】

【However, Mr. Gopher Wood, there is one more thing I haven't figured out...】

Sunday looked at Gopher Wood,

hesitating to speak.

【Say it, child.】

Gopher Wood's expression was peaceful.

【If this little Charmony Dove never learns to fly in the end, what should we do?】

【I mean, if there are indeed some fledglings in this world that can never fly in their entire lives...】

【Should we still let them return to the sky...】

【And then watch them fall to their deaths?】

Sangonomiya Kokomi: "Is this scene some experience from Miss Robin and Mr. Sunday's childhood?"

Sangonomiya Kokomi: "Because of saving a little bird, feeling confused..."

Furina: "Birds are not born to fly?"

Furina: "This statement is quite novel!"

Paimon: "Uh... I always felt that birds are born to fly."

Paimon: "But I never thought about why birds fly?"

Hu Tao: "But... were birds really unable to fly at the beginning?"

Lumine: "About this question... I seem to have heard someone tell a story about it..."

Venti: "Hehe, that's of course me!"

Zhongli: "So, drunk poet, why do birds fly?"

Venti: "Because of strong winds? Because they have to fly?"

Venti: "Neither... actually it's just because of courage!"

Venti: "Because they possessed courage, the first birds were able to flap their wings and embrace the sky."

Zhongli: "Yes... it is precisely because of courage."

Zhongli: "Courage gave them the possibility of flying."

Zhongli: "Otherwise, even if they had wings, they would still have no chance to reach the vastness of the sky."

Black Swan: "Ha, this is also a quite romantic statement."

Robin: "Birds possess courage, so they learned to fly..."

Robin: "Hmm, I agree with your statement."

Robin: "Because I have deep personal experience."

Xiangling: "Then how should we choose for Mr. Sunday's last question?"

Stelle: "Didn't we say this before."

Stelle: "We should give others the right to choose!"

Stelle: "So... if this bird is willing to fall to its death in order to return to the sky, then we should fulfill it!"

March 7th: "That's what you say."

March 7th: "But if it were you, could you really watch the little bird you saved with your own hands fall to its death cruelly?"

Stelle: "About that..."

Stelle: "Hehe, people are realistic, so I can't do that."

Miss Sushang: "Then, isn't this matter unsolvable again?"

Miss Sushang: "It's wrong not to give the little bird the right to choose, but if you give it, it's very likely to kill it..."

Miss Sushang: "Oh my, fortunately I've never saved any little birds!"

Sparkle: "If you ask me, drop the helping plot and respect others' fate!"

Sparkle: "If you encounter such a little bird, wouldn't it be better if you didn't save it from the beginning?"

Sparkle: "That way, there wouldn't be any problems later~"

Sparkle: "Saves worry and effort~"

Asta: "Eh, that's a very unsympathetic statement."

Dr. Ratio: "But it solved the problem from the root."

Dr. Ratio: "Of course, I don't advocate this approach."

Acheron: "So, what should we do?"

Acheron: "What is the right thing to do?"

Welt: "This kind of thing, essentially, perhaps has no real right or wrong, just a difference in stance."

Welt: "Birds can sacrifice their lives to fly."

Welt: "But the person saving it doesn't think so."

Dan Heng: "So, to solve the problem, unless the stance of the person and the bird is consistent."

Stelle: "Hard, as the saying goes, those with different paths cannot make plans together."

Stelle: "Stance is not something that can be changed so easily."

Stelle: "I can only say, if you really encounter such a thing, just do your best."

Stelle: "As for whether the ending is good or bad, that can only be left to fate."

Aventurine: "Fate... these two words are really helpless..."

The video continues.

【Dream talk is not bad, little bird, time to wake up.】

Suddenly, Gallagher's voice sounded,

Sunday gradually woke up,

from his past memories.

【...】

After Sunday woke up,

he was a bit confused about the situation in front of him.

【What, can't stand steady, want me to help you?】

Gallagher joked.

【I'm not dead?】

Sunday looked at his intact self,

a bit surprised.

【Hmph, happy?】

Gallagher snorted lightly.

【...Tell me where Robin is.】

【Now.】

The first thing Sunday did after waking up,

was to ask about Robin's whereabouts.

【Heh, I knew your first reaction would definitely be her.】
