Chapter 247: If Everything Started Over, Would You Still Want to Be the Child Blessed by the Mother Goddess?

The video continued.

【If I take these leaves back—will new little flowers bloom—】

Kakavasha's voice came through once more.

【.......】

After walking through the maze for a while,

Topaz once again spotted a talisman on the ground, gleaming with golden light.

【Your expression right now is really hard to describe.】

【The talisman your mother left you is made of pure gold—why have you never considered selling it?】

【If you had, you and your sister could have lived like normal people for a while.】

【Looking back now, that would have been the better choice.】

Harmony Topaz continued to appear as Ruthless Topaz.

【Mother only left us two pieces of jewelry; a necklace, and a talisman.】

【There won't be a third.】

Topaz shook his head.

【You've always said that—but honestly, you regret it, don't you?】

【Not selling them?】

Harmony Topaz just loved to talk back.

【Don't fish for things to say.】

Topaz said coldly.

【Ha...... I see.】

【You must remember what your sister said back then: you are the child blessed by the Mother Goddess, you can lead the clan toward happiness. So always remember to protect yourself, and never resent pain and poverty.】

【Her words still ring in your ears, don't they?】

【You're a good child—you'd never forget.】

【So you must also never forget how wretched she was in her final moments, how the shrill laughter behind you cut straight to the heart......】

【You fled without looking back, just as she told you to.】

【Tsk tsk...... a lifetime of regret.】

Harmony Topaz brought up yet another old wound that broke Topaz's composure.

【That's really enough......】

【Don't you have any other topic to talk about?】

Topaz truly didn't want to hear Harmony Topaz's words anymore.

【That's the second time you've interrupted me.】

【You're really easy to read.】

【I finally understand what you're thinking..... Hmph, truly mad.】

【In the end, I will overturn this beautiful dream and create the grandest death—that is indeed your thesis, carried through from beginning to end, never changing.】

【From that Stellaron, to Robin losing her voice, the two murders, the negotiation with Sunday, to the Masked Fool's hint—only those unchanging two words can pique your interest.】

【And now, you truly hold them in your grasp......】

【..... But whose death is it, exactly?】

Harmony Topaz's expression was unreadable.

【We'll know once the dice land.】

Topaz said flatly.

【Fine, save me a seat in the audience—I want to see just how capable you are.】

【Still, I'm quite curious........】

【If everything started over.....】

【Would you still want to be the child blessed by the Mother Goddess?】

Furina: "Ahhh, how can this Harmony Topaz be so vicious!!"

Furina: "When exactly will he disappear?!"

Furina: "I really don't want to listen to him talk anymore!"

Stelle: "Agreed."

Stelle: "Topaz, you really held it in—couldn't you just go up and give him a hard slap, teach him who's boss?"

Stelle: "Just a newly born consciousness, and he's already putting on airs!"

March 7th: "Topaz's expression is about to break—how could he even think about hitting Harmony Topaz....."

Nahida: "If everything started over..... would you still want to be the child blessed by the Mother Goddess?"

Nahida: "That line... it seems a bit like something Young Lady Huang Quan said at the very beginning."

Huang Quan: "If, at the start of your journey, you had already known its destination..."

Huang Quan: "Would you still have set out on this journey?"

Hu Tao: "Right, right, that's the line!"

Hu Tao: "Now paired with Topaz's experience....."

Hu Tao: "I think a lot of people would waver from their original answer, right?"

Paimon: "I don't want to! Paimon doesn't want to!"

Paimon: "If the ending leads to such a tragic future, Paimon absolutely cannot accept it!"

Paimon: "I won't set foot on such a journey!"

Lumine: "Ugh... to be honest, I don't have the courage to embark on such a journey again."

Black Swan: "But if you don't embark on the journey, you will permanently lose memories from it—memories that are extremely precious to you."

Black Swan: "Even so, are you still willing?"

Paimon: "If letting go of these memories could correct a once-tragic future..."

Paimon: "Then... then maybe it wouldn't be so bad..."

Lumine: "Paimon, is that really how you feel...?"

Paimon: "Lumine, what do you think?"

Lumine: "Hmm... to be honest, I don't know."

Lumine: "I long for the cherished memories from the journey, yet I fear ending up with a cruel future."

Venti: "Heh, don't be lost."

Venti: "This question has an implicit premise: if you had known the journey's end from the very beginning, would you still have embarked on it?"

Venti: "The key is this—knowing the end from the journey's start!"

Venti: "But your current journey? You have no idea where the end leads!"

Venti: "So, don't project yourself into it."

Venti: "After all, this question is truly an extremely difficult one to answer."
