Chapter 173

【Interesting.】

【Since you have made up your mind, let me reveal what kind of fate this choice will bring to that fledgling.】

【Based on the results I observed, at least three types of wild beasts that feed on small birds haunt that courtyard: the Volcanic Sickle-Tailed Scorpion, the Asdner Wolverine, and the Huntington Wing-Necked Snake...】

【Although they cannot harm humans, these creatures are still apex predators in the small courtyard.】

【In such a place, the only fate awaiting that little Harmony Dove is—painful death.】

【For the choice you made... I express deep regret.】

【Next, let us enter the second choice.】

【This time... it's the story of a dream-seeker.】

Silver Wolf: "Stelle, worthy of you."

Silver Wolf: "Directly sent this bird on its way, right?"

Stelle: "How?"

Stelle: "I even built a nest for it!"

Stelle: "It died with dignity!"

Sparkle: "Oh, anyway, sooner or later, its final fate is gone, why worry so much~"

Sunday: "But if we hadn't opened its birdcage, it wouldn't have died."

Sunday: "Its fate, from the moment we met it, was already controlled by us..."

Sunday: "But unfortunately, we didn't make the right choice."

Sunday: "Let it lose its life."

March 7th: "What is the right choice?"

March 7th: "You can't answer this for the bird either, right?"

Robin: "For my brother, letting it live well is the right choice."

Robin: "For me, I only hope it can have the life it wants."

Seele: "Tch, understood."

Seele: "Sunday's sympathy is too overflowing, he's becoming a saint."

Seele: "He can't bear to see people suffer, so he became like this."

Seele: "I'm asking... does this count as having too poor an ability to bear things?"

Stelle: "I think it counts."

Stelle: "Otherwise, why suggest he see a psychologist more?"

Miss Bailu: "Although I am not a psychologist."

Miss Bailu: "But in my view, this is because he wasn't properly guided during his childhood."

Miss Bailu: "Plus the employment environment after adulthood wasn't very good, which made him more and more depressed."

Furina: "Employment environment?"

Furina: "Are you talking about the confession room before?"

Furina: "Indeed... that place is not suitable for kind people to stay."

Furina: "Because kind people mostly can't bear to see these sufferings."

Stelle: "That place is suitable for me to stay."

Stelle: "With my mentality, I would only treat these as fun, and wouldn't take them seriously at all."

Sparkle: "Oh my, your statement is really becoming more and more like our Masked Fools~"

The video continues.

【This story happened when I was serving in the Duoyin period.】

【Duoyin is a unique position of the Oak Family, responsible for listening to the confusion and bewilderment of the residents of the dreamscape and giving them corresponding guidance.】

【It was also during that time that I was able to listen to the voices from all sides of the dreamscape: there were joys, sorrows, arrogance, and regrets...】

【Complex human nature weaves the world, and I am fortunate to see a glimpse of it.】

【That was a dream-seeker, and also a stowaway.】

【Like everyone else, he came to Penacony with a longing for a better life, but the price he paid for mortals...】

【is enough to be called giving everything.】

【He said to me, sold everything that could be sold at home—house, land, and two children...】

【He said he was unable to raise them, and being a slave at least meant having a bite to eat.】

【He also made a plan, preparing to redeem the children after getting rich and sharing the beautiful dream of Penacony.】

【It's just a pity that his stowaway plan was a bit clumsy, and was smelled out by that group of stubborn Hounds.】

【Having heard the story of this dream-seeker, I immediately requested the Hound Family to stop the pursuit, so that he could live in peace.】

【Unfortunately, my vision was too shallow, and I never thought that this self-righteous good deed would brew bitter fruit in the future...】

【The answer will be announced later.】

【Now, I hope you will make a choice—】

【Is it to make the same decision as me, persuading the Hound Family to stop the search, so that the dream-seeker can survive and realize his wish?】

【Or keep silent, letting him struggle on his last breath under the pursuit of the Hounds, until the destined verdict arrives?】

【I look forward to your choice, perhaps it can reverse that tragedy.】

Stelle: "It's this thing about selling children again."

Stelle: "Does this still need choosing?"

Stelle: "I'll directly fiercely attack him!"

March 7th: "Uh..."

March 7th: "No need to be so irritable."

March 7th: "Although what he did is indeed not human."

March 7th: "But if you really let the Hound Family catch him."

March 7th: "Then those two children of his wouldn't have any hope of being redeemed forever?"

Xiangling: "Children are innocent..."

Xiangling: "Although we don't pity him, we pity his two children..."

Hu Tao: "Being a slave at a young age, this is not a beautiful memory."

Hu Tao: "Based on this, I still hope to let him go, giving him a chance to redeem his children."

Miss Sushang: "But... is what he said the truth?"

Miss Sushang: "After he gets rich, will he really go to redeem his children?"

Miss Sushang: "Maybe he'll just forget it directly?"

Dr. Ratio: "Hard to say."

Dr. Ratio: "Human hearts are easy to change, knowing people and faces doesn't mean knowing their hearts..."

Lumine: "Sigh, no way, if you don't give him this chance."

Lumine: "Then the fate of those two children is destined..."

Stelle: "Tch!"

Stelle: "If I were Sunday, I would choose to fiercely kick this person out of Penacony, letting him be a slave."

Stelle: "Then bring those two children over to enjoy happiness."

Silver Wolf: "Very consistent with your style."

Firefly: "I think... Stelle's plan is feasible!"

Furina: "Ah this..."

Furina: "Sounds very satisfying."

Furina: "But for these two children, would it be too cruel?"

Furina: "After all, this is their father."

Seele: "If he really considered himself the father of two children, he wouldn't consider selling them."

Seele: "Such a person doesn't deserve to be a father!"

Furina: "Also... such a father, having him is useless."

Furina: "Better to be self-reliant."

Stelle: "So... why is there no option I like?"
