Chapter 154

Robin's tone also begins to become stern.

【Fine, fine~ I'll go.】

【However, Miss Robin, I still advise you to think it over carefully...】

【...Can people living in a dream really stay away from pain and reap true happiness?】

【Hehe, I've done what I needed to do, now I'm just waiting to watch the fireworks.】

【I'll give you the last two gifts.】

【If the Charmony Festival is unfortunately held... remember to use them at the performance site, don't lose them.】

【Bang—it will be very exciting!】

Navia: "Uh... the bomb button was handed to the person in charge of the Family?"

Navia: "So this is just for fun, right?"

March 7th: "Sigh, we didn't believe she really gave a bomb."

March 7th: "After all, shouldn't you be sneaky when doing this kind of thing?"

Sparkle: "Hehe, you don't understand."

Sparkle: "I am a Fool, after all."

Sparkle: "Maybe... I have some special methods~"

Stelle: "Damn, if it really ends up in a bloodbath when the Charmony Festival is held, that would be a huge joke."

Stelle: "I hope everyone is okay!"

Hu Tao: "Anyway, it's all in a dream, so even if it really explodes, it doesn't matter, right?"

Lumine: "Maybe it's not a good experience, but you shouldn't die."

Amber: "Miss Sparkle is hinting at Miss Robin again."

Amber: "Her tone is like she knows everything."

Paimon: "Knowing everything, I'm really curious how she managed to do it."

Sparkle: "Hehe, didn't I say it~"

Sparkle: "Actually, I am the mastermind!"

Sparkle: "So isn't it normal to know these things?"

Stelle: "Director Sparkle, who would believe that?"

Stelle: "We aren't fools."

March 7th: "Exactly."

March 7th: "You clearly came to Penacony to make trouble and find fun."

March 7th: "Do you have time to be the mastermind?"

Sparkle: "Sigh, in this day and age, nobody believes people when they tell the truth. It's really... too much fun~"

Boothill: "Damn it, a nice little girl, talking about fun all day, speaking with such sarcasm."

Boothill: "The Aeon of Elation really does harm people..."

Furina: "I acknowledge Miss Sparkle's aggressiveness in speaking."

Furina: "In contrast, I also acknowledge Mr. Aventurine's defense."

Venti: "Ehehe, Mr. Aventurine didn't have his defense broken by Miss Sparkle at all."

Venti: "In contrast, Mr. Sunday's defense is still a bit lacking."

Aventurine: "That's because... I am a believer in Preservation, after all."

Aventurine: "He is a Harmony, can he compare his defense to mine?"

Stelle: "Then, as someone with both Preservation and Destruction powers, wouldn't I be maxed out in both offense and defense, invincible in the world?"

Stelle: "Tsk tsk tsk, later on, I'll have to find someone to spar with."

Silver Wolf: "You?"

Silver Wolf: "Just don't get sprayed into tears by someone..."

Stelle: "Dare to spray me?"

Stelle: "Just watch me hold the bat and see if it's real or not!"

Miss Qingque: "Good grief, can't win online, so you're going to beat the other person up in reality, right?"

Miss Qingque: "You really know how to not let yourself be wronged..."

The video continues.

【There is the sound of a raven in the distance... it seems the Dreammaster will arrive soon.】

Suddenly Sunday hears a few cries,

and immediately reacts,

knowing the Dreammaster is about to arrive.

Therefore, he takes Robin,

and walks over quickly.

【This place is just right, let's wait here for the Dreammaster's arrival.】

Sunday takes Robin to an open area.

【Hmm.】

【Speaking of which, brother, I heard that you don't touch sweets anymore.】

【Even though you used to fight with me for dessert when we were young...】

【I always feel that during the time I was away, many things have become different.】

【What exactly happened?】

Robin feels that her brother seems to have,

become somewhat unfamiliar without her noticing.

【Even in a sweet dream, someone must remain awake at all times.】

Sunday answers gently.

【But that person shouldn't be you, nor should it be any specific person.】

【Brother, you have taken on too much burden.】

【The paradise in our agreement... shouldn't be like this.】

【Penacony is just a dream.】

【It cannot eliminate the troubles and pain in reality, and bring people true happiness...】

【All it can do is provide a place for people to escape reality, but that's all.】

Robin feels that her brother is now carrying things he shouldn't be carrying.

【Do you remember the old man just now?】

【If there were no such dream, he might have already fallen into an irredeemable situation.】

Sunday uses the old man just now as an example.

【Admittedly...】

【But even without Penacony, he might have embarked on another life.】

【As far as I know, the Genius Society has long been promoting corresponding rehabilitation treatment technologies.】

【Although that life would be much more ordinary and difficult, now, he is receiving hospice care called a sweet dream in a coma, his ending... is already doomed.】

【Did Penacony give these people a future, or did it take their future away?】

Compared to reality,

Robin ultimately cannot accept the illusory sweet dream.

【Before that, you must know... not everyone can move toward the future.】

【The future is to people, just as the sky is to birds.】

【The reason people mistakenly think flying is the nature of birds is because they have never seen those birds that fell to the ground.】

【Remember the Charmony Dove we adopted when we were young?】

【How did we treat it?】

Sunday asks Robin.

【We carefully raised it in a birdcage, fed it and changed its water every day, groomed its feathers, and later...】

【When I decided to leave Penacony, I opened the cage door and let it return to the sky.】

After Robin recalls for a while,

she answers Sunday.

【Worried that it would make you sad, I didn't mention this in my letters.】

【Not long after you left, it fell in front of your room's window.】

Sunday tells Robin the final outcome of that little Charmony Dove.

【...I guessed as much.】

【If not, brother would never have said nothing about its whereabouts.】

【Although the ending is regrettable, I still firmly believe this choice was not wrong.】

【Birds were not hatched just to spend their lives in a cage...】

【Even if they are unable to fly, the sky is their destination.】...
