Chapter 174

Stelle: "I strongly protest!"

Sunday: "..."

Sunday: "Sorry, I really didn't think of this..."

Sunday: "My vision was narrow..."

The video continues.

After Sunday finishes speaking,

Stelle is still the same,

going to ask her companions for their opinions one by one.

【It seems stowaways are really common in Penacony...】

【But this guy in the story, I don't think he's worth sympathizing with at all.】

【He actually sold his children for the sake of chasing dreams...】

【Even if he intends to redeem them, it's too irresponsible.】

【Thinking about it this way, there is only one choice: let the Hound Family send him back!】

【This person must be punished!】

As soon as Stelle walks in front of March 7th,

she sees her puffing up her cheeks,

and speaking angrily.

【That's right, this kind of scum should be fiercely punished!】

【I agree with you!】

Stelle nods,

feeling that March 7th's thoughts coincide with hers.

【I'll go ask Himeko what she thinks.】

Stelle walks towards Himeko.

【The story of a dream-seeker...】

【In the spirit of goodwill, I should request the Hound Family to stop the pursuit and give him a hand.】

【However, what kind of bitter fruit will this choice brew?】

【I think Sunday must have deeply realized the limitations of helping the weak with the strong through this matter.】

Himeko gives her answer,

and is somewhat curious about what the bitter fruit of this choice is.

【Hmm, actually I am also curious.】

【Maybe I'll know the answer in a while.】

【I'll go ask Firefly what she thinks.】

Stelle runs to Firefly's side.

【This question... has an internal connection with the story of the fledgling, and this connection is the breakthrough point Sunday wants to use to persuade us...】

【... should choose to request the Hound Family to stop the pursuit.】

Firefly thinks for a while,

and also gives the same answer as Himeko.

【I see... is it because you were also pursued by the Hound Family, so you empathize?】

【I have an idea, it's my turn to choose.】

Stelle nods,

and then goes directly to the big screen,

choosing the option of always keeping silent!

【It seems you are like me, also thinking about whether another choice can bring a better ending.】

【But it's a pity, his end will probably only be more miserable.】

【Assuming he was never caught from beginning to end, he would definitely die of mental disorder.】

【The dream-entry methods of stowaways are mostly unusual, unlike the hotel's, which are perfect.】

【Wanting to live in the dreamscape is simply a fantasy.】

【If he were caught, would the Hounds show mercy?】

【The answer is impossible.】

【They cannot bear the corresponding consequences, and naturally will not risk giving aid.】

【For this choice, I express deep regret again.】

【Next is the third, and also the last choice—】

【And this story... belongs to me personally.】

Xiangling: "Hmm... so the ending of this person... was destined from the beginning?"

Furina: "It's really as Firefly said, it has a connection with the story of the fledgling."

Sunday: "The fate of this person was briefly in my hands, but I ultimately couldn't make a choice favorable to him."

Sunday: "This situation is so much like the ending of that fledgling..."

Welt: "Your original intention was good, it's just a pity that things went against your wishes."

Welt: "No need to blame yourself too much, this is not your problem."

Nahida: "The method of stowaway dream-entry actually causes such serious consequences."

Nahida: "Then how did Firefly... enter the dreamscape?!"

Silver Wolf: "How did she enter?"

Silver Wolf: "Heh, I can only say, the process was quite terrifying."

Silver Wolf: "Simply put, it's..."

Silver Wolf: "Risking her life!"

Stelle: "Risking her life?!"

Stelle: "Firefly, no need for that, right!!"

Stelle: "Silver Wolf, your methods are so awesome, can't you let her enter the dream as easily as the hotel's dream-entry device?"

Silver Wolf: "According to the script, she has to experience three deaths in Penacony!"

Silver Wolf: "Whether it's a real death or not, at the very least, the painful experience of death must be experienced."

Welt: "Sure enough... Firefly's dream-entry method is unusual."

Welt: "I'm afraid only with willpower that ordinary people cannot imagine can one reach the Penacony dreamscape that we can easily enter."

Firefly: "It's nothing... just some physical pain..."

Silver Wolf: "Putting it lightly."

Silver Wolf: "I dare say, that feeling of being worse than dead would definitely make most people wish they were dead."

March 7th: "Fi... Firefly actually entered the dreamscape after experiencing this kind of pain?!"

March 7th: "My god... suddenly I feel so sorry for Firefly."

Hu Tao: "But... why does Firefly have to experience this kind of pain to enter the dream?"

Hu Tao: "The previous stowaways didn't seem to be this painful, right?"

Dr. Ratio: "Heh, have you forgotten?"

Dr. Ratio: "She said before that she has no function to dream!"

Dr. Ratio: "Then, forcing someone who is always awake to enter a dream, do you know what kind of feeling this would be?"

Dr. Ratio: "I can only say, she is worthy of being the last remaining Iron Cavalry of Glamoth, her willpower is so strong that it has already exceeded the limits of humans."

Dr. Ratio: "Even... her being able to live until now is a miracle..."

Acheron: "Her will to survive is as brilliant as the sun."

Acheron: "This makes me unable to help but marvel."

Black Swan: "Such a longing for life..."

Black Swan: "Even turned into a materialized conviction."

Black Swan: "Firefly... what kind of unforgettable memories have you experienced?"

Firefly: "..."

Firefly: "Those memories are really not beautiful, if possible, I hope you will never know them for the rest of your lives..."

The video continues.

【This story happened on the day I took office as the Oak Family Head.】

【At that time, Mr. Gopher Wood had already become the current Dreammaster, and at his request, we had a private conversation.】

【What surprised me was that the Dreammaster only brought me a letter.】

【He asked me to read the contents of the letter, and that letter... came from my sister.】

【The letter was nothing more than daily pleasantries, mentioning her various observations while traveling through the worlds.】

【Just as I was puzzled about what this letter had to do with the conversation, the Dreammaster spoke.】

After Sunday finishes speaking,

the scene of his conversation with the Dreammaster begins to emerge.

【Dreammaster: Do you know whose hand this letter came from?】

【Sunday: Naturally, it is my sister's handwriting.】

【Why did the Dreammaster visit me for the daily trivialities of my siblings?】

【Dreammaster: To let you understand this matter deeply.】

【Do you know where Robin is now?】

【Sunday: According to the content of the letter... should be Casbelinart-V, right?】

【She is touring there...】

【Dreammaster: Not bad. Did she mention being hit by a stray bullet?】

【Sunday: Stray bullet? What...】

【Dreammaster: That planet broke out in war.】

【It is precisely because of this that Robin chose it as her destination...】

【To spread Harmony and save the lives on the planet, she personally rushed to the front line.】

【She hopes to use her singing to soothe people's pain, and is also willing to use her own flesh and blood to provide cover for the delivery of the IPC's relief supplies...】

【Unfortunately, stray bullets are ruthless.】

【Sunday: How is she now?!】

【Dreammaster: If the surgery was successful, she should be recuperating in a field hospital now.】

【With the Aeon as witness, that bullet went straight into her neck...】

【However, perhaps it is the reward for her daily practice of Harmony's good deeds, the bullet did not hit a vital point.】

【After you finish your trivial matters, it is best to write back to her as soon as possible.】

【Sunday: That group of... damn barbarians!】

【I'll pack my luggage now... thank you for telling me this, Mr. Gopher Wood!】

The conversation scene ends here.

【Now, you know why she often wears such cumbersome neck accessories, right?】

March 7th: "Hit by a stray bullet?!"

March 7th: "Ms. Robin actually encountered such a dangerous thing?!"

Stelle: "Damn, the bullet hit her neck!"

Stelle: "If it weren't for good luck, she would have lost her life, right?!"

Furina: "Received such news on the day she took office as the Oak Family Head."

Furina: "Mr. Sunday must have been very broken at the time, right?"

Paimon: "For sure!"

Paimon: "Her own sister encountered such a life-and-death crisis, as a brother, he must have been heartbroken to death."

Hu Tao: "On the first day of becoming the Family Head, he should have performed well."

Hu Tao: "But after hearing about this, he packed his luggage without saying a word to visit his sister."

Hu Tao: "Sure enough, in Mr. Sunday's heart, the position of Family Head is far less important than his sister."

Himeko: "It's a pity that Ms. Robin encountered such a disaster."

Welt: "I have to say, Ms. Robin's behavior of not fearing danger and rushing to the front line to help the weak with the strong makes me sincerely admire her."

Miss Qingque: "Sigh, the person who practices the philosophy of Harmony the most is actually Ms. Robin, who is away from home all year round."

Miss Sushang: "Ms. Robin is the true Harmony, and even more truly helping the weak with the strong."

Miss Sushang: "While other members of the Penacony Family only wander around in the dream world."

Stelle: "Pah, so many Family members, not even as good as a weak girl."

Stelle: "In my opinion, the Family should let Robin be the Dreammaster."

March 7th: "We have no opinion!"

March 7th: "Ms. Robin's behavior of practicing Harmony with her own body is seen by everyone!"

March 7th: "This is the true spokesperson for Harmony!"

Paimon: "Praise Ms. Robin!!"

Robin: "Uh... what you all said is a bit too outrageous."

Robin: "As a member of the Family, practicing Harmony is just something I should do."

Dr. Ratio: "Not forgetting the original intention, keeping one's duties in mind."

Dr. Ratio: "Just on this point, you have surpassed 99% of the Family members."

Amber: "I'll offer an opinion."

Amber: "I understand Ms. Robin's feelings, but I think Ms. Robin should also consider her own safety more."

Amber: "During war, the front line is mostly in a state of intense fighting."

Amber: "Ms. Robin being there, with no one to protect her, is really too dangerous!"

Eula: "Well said."

Eula: "Only caring about others and not caring about one's own safety is also undesirable."

March 7th: "Ms. Robin, promise everyone that you won't go to the front line again when you go to such places in the future, okay?"

Stelle: "You are not a soldier, and you don't know any combat skills, just stay in the rear and save the suffering people."

Stelle: "The rest is not what you should be doing."

Stelle: "Otherwise, if you have any accidents, how will you promote the virtues of Harmony in the future?"

Stelle: "Besides, if you have problems, your brother will completely blacken!"

Robin: "You... you are right!"

Robin: "Thank you all for your teachings, I understand."

Lumine: "Putting it this way, the incident Mr. Sunday encountered seems like the last straw that broke him."

Silver Wolf: "His sister not having life-threatening danger already made him like this, if something really happened, I'm afraid he would turn into a big devil and retaliate everywhere."

Guinaifen: "Thinking carefully, it's understandable, after all, it's his own sister who depends on him for survival!"

Stelle: "I think Sunday's quality needs to be lowered."

Stelle: "Encountering such a thing, he held it in for a long time and only cursed 'damn barbarians'."

Stelle: "Simply has no attack power."

Stelle: "And his first reaction was to pack his luggage to visit Robin."

Stelle: "If it were me, I would directly exercise the power of the Family Head, mobilize troops, and exterminate everyone who hurt her!"

Silver Wolf: "Laugh to death, you think the Family is your one-man show?"

Silver Wolf: "If you dare to do this, believe it or not, you'll be demoted in minutes?"

Stelle: "Then what's the point of being the Family Head?"

Stelle: "Might as well be a Galaxy Ranger, fast and vengeful!"

Boothill: "Damn it, who says it isn't?"

Boothill: "Just this suffocating position, if you give it to me, I wouldn't even care about it!!"

The video continues.

【How could this be... Ms. Robin...】
