Chapter 315

【I... I hope with all my heart that it will live.】

Sunday gazed at the little Harmonic Pigeon,

her gaze gradually hardening.

【Very well, children. It seems each of you has found your own answer.】

【Your visions are profoundly beautiful; I sincerely hope they may each come to pass in their own way.】

The old man seemed satisfied with the siblings' responses.

【We will take good care of it.】

【Right, brother?】

The girl,

also known as Robin,

looked at her brother with a hint of delight.

【Mm.】

【But, Mr. Gafiel, there's still one thing I don't understand...】

Sunday looked at Gafiel,

hesitating as if unsure whether to speak.

【Speak, child.】

Gafiel's expression was serene.

【What if this little Harmonic Pigeon never learns to fly at all?】

【I mean, what if there truly are some fledglings that can never fly, no matter their lifetime?】

【Then should we still return them to the sky...】

【And watch them crash to their deaths?】

Sangonomiya Kokomi: "Is this scene one of Robin Young Lady and Sunday Mr.'s childhood experiences?"

Sangonomiya Kokomi: "Feeling lost over saving a little bird..."

Furina: "Do birds naturally not know how to fly?"

Furina: "That's a rather novel take!"

Paimon: "Uh... I've always thought birds are born able to fly."

Paimon: "But I've never once wondered why they fly."

Hu Tao: "But... weren't birds originally unable to fly?"

Xiao: "About this question... I think I once heard a story about it..."

Wendeh: "Ehehe, that was me!"

Zhong Li: "So, drunken poet, why do birds fly?"

Wendeh: "Because of strong winds? Because they must fly?"

Wendeh: "Neither... it's simply because of courage!"

Wendeh: "Because courage gave the first birds the will to spread their wings and embrace the sky."

Zhong Li: "Yes... precisely because of courage."

Zhong Li: "Courage granted them the possibility of flight."

Zhong Li: "Otherwise, even with wings, they would never know the vastness of the sky."

Black Swan: "Ha, that's a rather romantic notion."

Robin: "Birds learned to fly because they had courage..."

Robin: "Mm, I agree with your account."

Robin: "Because I understand it deeply."

Xiangling: "Then how should we answer Sunday Mr.'s final question?"

Star: "Didn't we already say so?"

Star: "We must grant others the right to choose!"

Star: "So... if this bird is willing to die falling from the sky just to return to it, then we should let it!"

March 7th: "That's what we say."

March 7th: "But if it were you, could you truly watch the little bird you saved crash to its death?"

Star: "Well..."

Star: "Hehe, people are practical—I couldn't do that."

Miss Sushang: "Then isn't this problem unsolvable?"

Miss Sushang: "Denying the bird the right to choose is wrong, but granting it might very well kill it..."

Miss Sushang: "Good heavens, thank goodness I've never saved any bird!"

Hanabi: "I say, drop the savior complex—respect others' fate!"

Hanabi: "If you meet a bird like this, why not just leave it alone from the start?"

Hanabi: "Then there'd be no problem at all~"

Hanabi: "So much easier~"

Asta: "Eh, that's a remarkably unsympathetic statement."

Truth Doctor: "But it solves the problem at its root."

Truth Doctor: "Of course, I don't advocate this approach."

Huang Quan: "So, what should we do?"

Huang Quan: "What is the right thing to do?"

Welt: "In matters like this, there may be no true right or wrong—only differing perspectives."

Welt: "Birds, to fly, will spare nothing, not even their own lives."

Welt: "But the one who saves them does not think so."

Brother Dan Heng: "So, to solve this problem, you must align the perspectives of the person and the bird."

Stelle: "Hard. As the saying goes, those who follow different Dao cannot work together."

Stelle: "Perspectives aren't so easily changed."

Stelle: "All we can say is, if you truly encounter such a thing, do your best."

Stelle: "As for the outcome—good or bad—that's left to fate."

Sandgold: "Fate... these two characters truly leave one powerless..."

The video continues.

【Dream Speech spoke well, little bird—it's time to wake up.】

Suddenly, Gallagher's voice rang out,

Sunday emerged from memories of the past,

gradually regaining consciousness.

【......】

After Sunday awoke,

they were confused by the situation before them.

【So, can't stand? Need me to lend you a hand?】

Gallagher joked.

【I'm not dead?】

Sunday looked at their own unharmed body,

surprised.

【Hmph, happy?】

Gallagher let out a light snort.

【...... Tell me where the Robin is.】

【Now.】

The first thing Sunday did upon waking,

was to ask after the Robin's whereabouts.

【Heh, I knew your first reaction would be about her.】
