Chapter 150: The paradise in Sunday
【Mr. Sunday... hello!】
【See that?】
【The moon in the sky is the same size as the bottle cap of the SoulGlad in my hand!】
【Is it... as long as I reach out my hand, I can hold the moon in my arms?】
【Hmm? Right?】
March 7th: "Look at what the kid drank, he’s starting to talk in his sleep."
Stelle: "He’s in a dream, if he’s not talking in his sleep, what is he doing?"
March 7th: "Uh... that’s true."
March 7th: "I always forget this is a dream."
Furina: "Speaking of which, how do you get drunk in a dream?"
Furina: "It’s really amazing..."
Hu Tao: "Mm, setting aside the dirty deeds in the dark, Penacony’s dream world is indeed quite interesting."
Paimon: "Actually... I’ve always wanted to ask a question."
Paimon: "Are these Pepeshi people adults?"
Paimon: "Why do they all look like children?"
Lumine: "Yes, I think it’s strange too."
Lumine: "Every time I see them, I get a bit distracted, thinking they are all children."
Lumine: "But they should... not be children, right?"
Dr. Ratio: "Of course they are not children."
Dr. Ratio: "There are many races in the universe with unique appearances."
Dr. Ratio: "And Pepeshi people just happen to have this child-like appearance."
Dr. Ratio: "And even when they grow up to adulthood, they will still maintain this appearance."
Nilou: "Their appearance is really cute."
Nilou: "Especially the fluffy-looking ball on their heads... can I touch it?"
Stelle: "The texture of this ball looks good, I want to touch it too!"
Robin: "I’m sorry, that is a part that Pepeshi people value very much. Generally speaking, it is not allowed to be touched."
Stelle: "Then is it allowed to be touched in the second case?"
Robin: "Uh... perhaps..."
Pom-Pom: "This fluff ball feels like it’s very hard to take care of, Pom-Pom."
Pom-Pom: "Does it shed, Pom-Pom?"
March 7th: "Shed?"
March 7th: "It shouldn't... right?"
Stelle: "Speaking of shedding, I suddenly had a brilliant idea!"
Stelle: "You say, if I collect the hair on the Pepeshi’s fluff ball and make a fur coat, wouldn't the texture be first-class?"
Silver Wolf: "Good guy!!"
Silver Wolf: "Simply a genius idea!"
Miss Qingque: "What genius?"
Miss Qingque: "Isn't it clearly a devil?"
Miss Qingque: "With such a small fluff ball on their heads, how many would it take to make a fur coat?!"
Miss Sushang: "Every coat would cost hundreds of Pepeshi?!"
Guinaifen: "Terrible!!"
Guinaifen: "I can only say, no buying and selling, no killing!!"
Stelle: "Who wants to kill them?"
Stelle: "I just want to pluck their fluff balls bald."
March 7th: "Hey, I feel like this is no different from killing a Pepeshi."
Aventurine: "Ha, if these Pepeshi people knew you had this idea."
Aventurine: "I guarantee you will be on the blacklist of all Pepeshi in the universe."
Stelle: "Is it that serious?"
Stelle: "Then forget it, I was just purely curious."
Kafka: "A fur coat woven from Pepeshi fluff balls?"
Kafka: "Mm... that’s a novel thing..."
The video continues.
【Moon... hehe, you mean the Grand Theater, right?】
There is no moon above Penacony,
Sunday looked in the direction of the Pepeshi’s gaze,
and only saw the Grand Theater floating in the air, emitting dazzling light.
【Oh, oh!】
【Haha, look at me, I must have been away from home for too long, missing that moon too much... *hic*.】
【However... it doesn't matter!】
【Our Penacony’s Grand Theater is much brighter than the moon...】
【Beautiful! Easy on the eyes!】
【They tried to persuade me not to sell all my property back then, and focus on Penacony... pfft, how short-sighted!】
The Pepeshi spat a few times drunkenly.
【Sell all your property... why go that far?】
Robin couldn't understand
this Pepeshi’s approach.
【Why? What else could it be...】
【Life back home was too bitter, living without even a human shape.】
【Penacony is better, only sweet dreams, no bitterness, no need to worry about tomorrow, do whatever you want, this is what it means to be alive... *hic*, comfortable!】
The Pepeshi explained a few words to Robin.
【This... can this really be considered living...】
Robin muttered to herself with a complex expression.
【*hic*... hmm?】
【Little girl, what did you ask just now? I didn't hear clearly...】
The Pepeshi looked up at Robin,
somewhat blankly.
【Nothing, sir.】
【Look, the traffic on Glaux Avenue is heavy, it’s easy to have an accident.】
【Aiden Park is nearby, I’ll have a member of the Bloodhound Family take you there to continue enjoying the sweet dream, how about that?】
Sunday shook his head
and asked this Pepeshi.
【Oh... okay, you’re right.】
【As expected of the leader of the sweet dream, my savior!】
【See you later, Mr. Sunday.】
【Thank you for chatting with me... *hic*.】
Stelle: "Tsk tsk tsk, living in a dream, deceiving oneself."
Furina: "This person’s longing for his hometown is about to overflow."
Furina: "But he just doesn't want to admit it."
Hu Tao: "If he admitted it, wouldn't it be equivalent to completely denying what he did back then?"
Hu Tao: "That’s what makes people break down."
March 7th: "So he’s buying drunkenness here?"
March 7th: "Living like an empty shell?"
Lumine: "The dream is a place for enjoyment. Logically speaking, most people who come here shouldn't have worries."
Lumine: "But this person, perhaps he has regrets in reality, so even if he comes to the dream, he is still often unhappy."
Navia: "This belongs to complete escapism, right?"
Robin: "Dreams are ultimately illusory. Indulging in dreams is equivalent to giving up all possibilities in reality."
Dr. Ratio: "That is also his choice, respect and blessings."
Stelle: "That’s right, since it’s his own choice, then suffering the consequences is also deserved."
Stelle: "This actually doesn't have much to do with the dream, it mainly depends on the person."
Stelle: "Just like the old lady before, look at her, didn't she think very clearly?"
Robin: "Mm... you’re right."
Robin: "It’s just... if there were no dreams, would these people not escape?"
Aventurine: "You’re thinking too much."
Aventurine: "Human nature dictates that even without dreams, they can still find other ways to escape."
Venti: "Well said, if a person is unwilling to face their own heart, they can buy drunkenness in reality just the same, and you won't be able to wake them up."
Venti: "In other words, people who are clear-headed are still clear-headed even in dreams!"
Venti: "This is the essential difference between people."
Stelle: "Reasonably speaking, if there were no dreams, it would more or less make some people feel there is no way out, thus turning back."
Stelle: "But this is too unfair to those who need dreams."
Stelle: "So, I personally think the pros of dreams outweigh the cons."
Stelle: "Those who choose to indulge in dreams are all their own choices, and whatever ending they get is completely what they deserve."
Stelle: "It has nothing to do with anyone else."
March 7th: "In my opinion, dreams mainly provide a platform for some birds born incomplete to spread their wings and fly."
March 7th: "As for those who are already healthy... there’s no need to worry about them, okay?"
March 7th: "If they love to live in a dream, let them be drunk, as long as they don't affect others."
Welt: "In short, dreams have their own meaning."
Welt: "As long as you don't force others to enter the dream, then there is no need to interfere with others’ choices."
Robin: "Mm, thank you everyone, I understand."
The video continues.
【...】
After that Pepeshi left,
Robin began to be somewhat silent.
【What’s wrong, sister?】
Seeing Robin speechless,
Sunday asked with concern.
【Clearly it’s the land of dreams, why do people live this kind of life?】
【That gentleman just now... is not happy at all.】
【No matter how sweet the dream is, it’s an invisible and untouchable illusion, yet he treats it as the only choice for survival, even giving up the future in reality for it...】
【This can’t be considered living at all.】
Robin said her opinion with a melancholy expression.
【Mm, is that so...】
【But in my opinion, this is the way ordinary people should live.】
Sunday’s expression appeared very flat.
【...Why do you say that?】
Robin looked at Sunday, somewhat surprised.
【You just said that gentleman living on sweet dreams cannot be considered living, but that is not the case.】
【Even without Penacony, people would live in their own illusions, and this illusion is called self-worth.】
【People always think they are destined to achieve some kind of value.】
【Earning value for oneself means powerful strength; conversely, people without value are relegated to the weak.】
【However, value is not created out of thin air by people, and its sum also has an upper limit.】
【To achieve so-called value, people must plunder from others.】
【Just like that, the weak are exploited, oppressed...】
Sunday slowly explained his insights.
【You mean... things shouldn't be like this, right?】
Robin understood the meaning of Sunday’s words.
【Exactly.】
【However, the irony is that people don't think doing so is wrong.】
【Because they always hold that ethereal self-worth as the standard, and even the weak think so.】
【Survival of the fittest, the law of the jungle... all the tragedies in the world stem from this.】
【And the reason Penacony is a sweet dream is precisely because it provides a place of rest for anyone who wants to escape from it...】
