Chapter 177

Zhongli: "Similarly, before making a choice, you should know that others also have the right to choose."

Hu Tao: "Back then, that incident happened to Miss Robin."

Hu Tao: "But Mr. Sunday still didn't restrict Miss Robin's actions."

Hu Tao: "This actually means he already has the answer in his heart, right?"

Dr. Ratio: "Rather than saying he has an answer, it's more like he is somewhat lost and wants to give himself an opportunity to find one."

Dr. Ratio: "It is precisely because of this that he has not restricted your actions until now in the video, but instead wants to have a fair and square collision with your philosophies."

Stelle: "Don't, please don't collide with me. My constitution is weak; I'll fall apart at a touch!"

March 7th: "Hey, what's with you? Why are you boosting others' morale and crushing your own?"

March 7th: "Are you a paper tiger?"

The video continues.

【In your view... what counts as living happily?】

Firefly asked Sunday.

【Good question.】

【Human consciousness is essentially a kind of hallucination, a prison called self-worth.】

【People are induced by this hallucination to commit mistakes, yet the consequences must be borne by external things.】

【When one mistake after another fills the crowd and becomes untraceable...】

【These prisons together form a jail, a natural law called survival of the fittest.】

【And nature is always accompanied by plunder and sacrifice... its opposite is called Order.】

【What I want to do is exactly this: to bring the happiness of all living beings under a single Order.】

【People no longer have to make bitter choices, no longer have to face the weaknesses of human nature, and only by casting aside the habits of beasts can a paradise belonging to humans be established.】

【Describing the ideology alone is too abstract; let me give you a simple example.】

【You may know that in some worlds, there exists a social operating system called a two-day or three-day weekend.】

【On these hard-won days of rest, people are able to be freed from the heavy pressure of life and return to the peace of their souls.】

【And only on such days do people not have to face the law of the jungle, and can live happily for these few short days.】

【It's just a pity... two or three days and nights are too short compared to a long life.】

【In my view, the ideal social system should be a seven-day weekend.】

【The day after Sunday is the second, third, and forever another Sunday...】

【This is the face of the new world, a day of eternal peace with nothing to do.】

Miss Qingque: "What?!"

Miss Qingque: "Every day is Sunday?!"

Miss Qingque: "The social system is a seven-day weekend?!"

Miss Qingque: "My god, what kind of human paradise is this!!"

Miss Qingque: "Brother Sunday, I am willing to call you the GOAT!!"

Stelle: "What Brother Sunday?"

Stelle: "This is my Brother Seven-Rest!!"

Stelle: "I support Brother Seven-Rest as the spokesperson for Order. Who agrees, who opposes?"

March 7th: "Ah, this... just because of a seven-day weekend, you've defected?"

March 7th: "Although... this does sound... really quite tempting."

Venti: "Ehe, doesn't this mean I don't have to work to make money every day?"

Venti: "Hmm... it looks like a very beautiful thing."

Venti: "But... it's not good for people to be too idle."

Dr. Ratio: "It is a social system that most ordinary people yearn for."

Dr. Ratio: "It caters to human nature."

Dr. Ratio: "But I can only say that this is not conducive to the development of the world."

Aventurine: "Judging by human nature, whether it is conducive to the development of the world is clearly not a question most people will consider."

Aventurine: "Just like the employees of the IPC, if they were really allowed to have holidays every day, they would definitely cheer, rather than worry about whether the company would collapse because of it."

Stelle: "Actually, discussing these is useless. The reason why people have all kinds of problems and conflicts is precisely because of the weaknesses of human nature, right?"

Stelle: "The Family that believes in Harmony will scheme against each other because of human nature, and the remnants who believe in Order also think of all kinds of conspiracies to resurrect the Aeon of Order..."

Stelle: "In the final analysis, they are all only thinking of their own goals."

Stelle: "They don't care at all how others will be affected."

Stelle: "So, jokes aside, the paradise Sunday speaks of is simply impossible to exist."

Stelle: "Because he doesn't have the ability."

Stelle: "And also because complex human nature does not allow it!"

Boothill: "Setting aside human nature, it's completely because this guy is too arrogant."

Boothill: "Your ideal is good; I don't deny that, damn it."

Boothill: "But why the hell do you think you have the ability to realize all this?"

Boothill: "Even Aeons wouldn't dare to make such big claims, yet you dare to."

Boothill: "Brother, you've really lost your mind!"

Stelle: "Brother Seven-Rest, take my advice: there's no future in hanging out with Order."

Stelle: "If you want to do your best to change these sufferings,"

Stelle: "then I suggest you hang out with the Galaxy Rangers."

Stelle: "Since you can't stand injustice, isn't it perfect to draw your blade to help when you see it?"

Sunday: "If Order truly cannot realize the grand wish in my heart, I will recognize reality and consider your proposal."

Sparkle: "Oh my, chicken-wing boy, you're teachable!"

Sparkle: "Then if you leave, can you let me be the head of the Oak Family?"

Sparkle: "Hehe, I've never been a family head before~"

Sparkle: "That would be very interesting, wouldn't it~ Heehee."

Sunday: "..."

The video continues.

【Thus, everyone can return to their original place in the paradise.】

【Some gaze at the galaxy, calculating with full concentration the distance of the isolated world of Pégana from us; some embrace each other in a corner, without having to bear extra responsibilities...】

【No need to endure the suffering of reality anymore. Only in this way can humans face their destined end with the most noble posture and spend a life full of dignity.】

【This is living happily.】

【Miss Firefly—you, who suffer from Entropy Loss Syndrome, must be able to understand what this means, right?】

Sunday finished describing the world of his grand wish,

and looked at Firefly.

【...】

Firefly couldn't help but sigh,

somewhat silent.

【It sounds... like it's flawless...】

March 7th scratched her head,

feeling that there was simply no way to refute it.

Stelle: "Flawless?"

Stelle: "I don't think so."

Stelle: "This is just the happiness defined by Sunday himself."

Stelle: "It certainly represents the thoughts of most people, but there is always a small group of people who don't think this is happiness."

Stelle: "For example, perhaps there are people who like being exploited every day?"

Stelle: "For such a person, if you let them go to the happy world described by Sunday, wouldn't it be worse than death?"

Miss Qingque: "Good grief, what kind of innate 'beast of burden' constitution is that?"

Qing Que: "Good grief, what kind of innate drudge constitution is this?"
