Chapter 147: Some things, even if they have no meaning, must always be done!

【The death-will of the Hunt does not subside until the end of life, so someone must guide these lost souls.】

【They were heroes in life; they should not become puppets of Nihility in death.】

【As for me... I also lost too much on that battlefield and can no longer embark on the journey. Instead, I have become the most suitable person to complete this task.】

March 7th: "Is this... Miss Acheron’s memory?"

March 7th: "The black sun, the pitch-black sea, the gray sky..."

March 7th: "This place... is so creepy!"

Furina: "It... it really is!"

Furina: "Look at those twisted arms in the sea, they are so terrifying!"

Hu Tao: "I seem to have seen this scene before."

Hu Tao: "But back then, we only saw Miss Acheron alone."

Hu Tao: "Now, the picture is complete, and the owner of the other voice speaking at the time has appeared."

Boothill: "Damn it!"

Boothill: "Unbelievable..."

Boothill: "This is an old hero of us Galaxy Rangers!!"

Boothill: "Are there actually any left alive?!"

Welt: "According to Miss Acheron’s account..."

Welt: "These in the sea... are all Galaxy Rangers who participated in the siege of the Lord Ravager during their lives, their obsessions turning into Blood-Sin Spirits after death."

Welt: "And the real them have long since passed away..."

Zhongli: "The death-will of the Hunt does not subside until the end of life."

Zhongli: "Only now do I truly understand the conviction of the Galaxy Rangers."

Dr. Ratio: "With the frail body of a mortal, opposing an Emanator of Destruction."

Dr. Ratio: "I must say, in my view, this is acting on impulse, an irrational act."

Dr. Ratio: "But, I acknowledge this irrationality!"

Venti: "What a moving and tragic story..."

Venti: "But it’s a pity... no one remembers the cost, and no one remembers this story."

Venti: "However, such a good story should not be forgotten."

Venti: "If there is a chance in the future, I will write this story into a poem and sing it throughout the universe."

Paimon: "Mm-hmm, what you said sounds like a real task!"

Paimon: "They are all great heroes, the whole universe should remember them!"

Paimon: "Only then will their sacrifice not be without value!"

Fu Xuan: "These are the true practitioners of the Aeon’s conviction!"

Fu Xuan: "They are worthy of the name of the Hunt."

Jing Yuan: "How could so many heroic figures end up in such a desolate state?"

Jing Yuan: "As fellow practitioners of the Hunt, even if we belong to different factions,"

Jing Yuan: "the Luofu Xianzhou Alliance must still offer them our respect!"

Jing Yuan: "And the names of these heroes should be recorded in the Luofu Xianzhou for the world to admire!"

Stelle: "The General is absolutely right!"

Stelle: "If the deeds of heroes go unnoticed, who would want to be a hero in the future?"

Stelle: "Such heroes should be remembered deeply by the world!"

Acheron: "On his behalf, I thank you for your recognition."

Acheron: "I imagine if he knew all this, he would be very happy..."

Himeko: "So this person... has actually sacrificed himself too, right?"

Himeko: "Otherwise, Miss Acheron wouldn't be here to return a relic."

Acheron: "Yes... he has also passed away."

Acheron: "However... I think when he left, he probably didn't have any regrets... right?"

The video continues.

【But you know, these Blood-Sin Spirits... are not them, after all.】

Acheron sighed softly.

【In your view, does this matter have no meaning?】

【But some things, even if they have no meaning, must always be done.】

The old man did not regret anything he had done.

【...】

【I can help you.】

After Acheron was silent for a while,

she suddenly said.

【For what?】

The old man asked in return.

【The meaning of Nihility... that is also what I seek.】

Acheron replied.

【...That’s true. How could an ordinary person set foot in this place?】

【Thank you, stranger.】

【I hope you can find the answer on this journey.】

The old man blessed her sincerely.

【Before that, I have one more question...】

【Admittedly, the actions of the Blood-Sin Spirits, and even their lives, are meaningless from our perspective.】

【But if, and I mean if...】

【If this is exactly the result the deceased hoped for, should we still make it change?】

Acheron asked a question that was difficult to answer.

【That is a good question, and also very difficult to answer. At least... I don't know the answer.】

【But what I do know is that one day, I will also pass away.】

【I hope from the bottom of my heart that at that time...】

【Someone will also place a bouquet of flowers at my grave.】

Firefly: "Another similar question?"

Firefly: "It has the same meaning as the question Mr. Sunday asked when he was a child..."

Stelle: "This question has no so-called answer at all."

Stelle: "Instead of dwelling on this question, it’s better to try to give some meaning to these results."

March 7th: "But, no matter how you give meaning to meaningless things, it’s just deceiving yourself, right?"

March 7th: "Just like the Blood-Sin Spirits this old man is guiding to peace."

March 7th: "It’s actually completely unnecessary."

March 7th: "Because these Blood-Sin Spirits are no longer the people he knew..."

Stelle: "That’s where you don't understand."

Stelle: "Deceiving yourself is sometimes a kind of meaning too!"

Stelle: "Just like the old man said, some things, even if they have no meaning, must always be done!"

Stelle: "And since he did it, this matter at least has meaning to him!"

Stelle: "That’s enough!"

Dr. Ratio: "Heh, your remarks have made me look at you in a new light."

Dr. Ratio: "It seems that when you use your brain, you are still quite smart."

Dr. Ratio: "I hope you can keep it up."

Aventurine: "Tsk, friend, being praised by the Professor means your words have his high approval!"

Furina: "I think what Miss Stelle said is indeed good."

Furina: "Some things, even if you can't see the meaning, have a reason that must be done."

Furina: "And as long as you do it, it must have meaning!"

Welt: "Yes, being able to say such things, Stelle, you have grown."

Himeko: "Ha, it’s a gratifying phenomenon."

March 7th: "Oh no, this makes me look shallow!"

Acheron: "Yes, for many things, as long as you feel they have meaning, that is enough."

Acheron: "No need to think too much, and no need to dwell on right or wrong."

Acheron: "Even if this... eventually leads to a wrong ending."

Acheron: "But that is also a predetermined result."

Acheron: "Yet even so, one cannot deny the meaning that once existed within it!"

The video continues.

9 system hours until the opening of the Charmony Festival,

Golden Hour.

The scene shifts

to Sunday’s flashback segment.

【When I was a child, I spoke like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child.】

【When I became a man, I put away childish things.】

【...】

Sunday’s inner voice sounded,

and then,

the scene began to appear.

【Please grant your blessing, noble spokesperson of Xipe.】

A servant of the Halovian race

said to Sunday with a pious voice.

【Come forward, family.】

【I have beseeched Him to be with us.】

Sunday’s voice sounded very sacred.

【I obey your will.】

【I have served the Oak Family for over ten years, always diligent and earnest, never lazy, taking shared harmony as the ultimate good.】

【However, yesterday, I made a mistake.】

【When preparing dinner for the Family Head, I accidentally knocked the meal to the ground.】

【Out of laziness, I lied and said everything was arranged properly.】

【Although the Family Head has dismissed me as punishment, I am still restless, worried that the seeds of evil have taken root in my heart.】

【I hereby confess to you to seek atonement for my sins.】

The servant used a repentant tone

to begin confessing to Sunday.

【Are you truly repentant in your heart and determined to change?】

Sunday asked seriously.

【I swear.】

The servant’s tone was firm.

【Have you examined your heart and explained all your sins clearly?】

Sunday asked again.

【I swear.】

The servant continued to answer.

【Are you willing to act and accept the penance?】

【I swear.】

【Very good.】

【Show enthusiasm and diligence in good works to other family members, and you will be able to reconcile with the Family.】

【Go in peace.】

Sunday nodded gently.

【Praise Xipe. And thank you, noble spokesperson.】

Stelle: "Damn, I didn't expect that!"
