Chapter 359: The Clash Between Sunday and Robin's Ideals — and Stelle Destroyed a Planet?!

Dr. Ratio: "A textbook clash between a realist and an idealist."

Dr. Ratio: "I can only say that, in truth, neither of them is wrong."

Stelle: "I get it now — the one that's wrong is actually this world!!"

Stelle: "It's the world that's wrong, so I'll shatter this world and build a new one!!"

March 7th: "Hey, what kind of chuunibyou speech is that!!"

March 7th: "Aren't you embarrassed?"

Boothill: "Holy smokes, you two siblings are both a little obsessive, one way or another."

Boothill: "You're talking way too absolutely."

Sparkle: "Hehe, I'd suggest you try thinking from each other's perspective a bit more."

Sparkle: "Let me come up with an idea for you two."

Sparkle: "I'll use illusion arts to disguise Chicken Wings Boy as his sister, have him take Robin's place out in the world beyond as a singing star, and along the way get a taste of reality."

Sparkle: "Then I'll disguise Robin as her brother, and have her be the head of the Oak Family in the dreams of Penacony."

Sparkle: "That way, won't each of you get to see exactly what the other has been overlooking?"

Stelle: "Good lord, Director Sparkle!"

Stelle: "Just like you to pull it off!"

Stelle: "That's just brilliant!"

Guinaifen: "Fam, don't even say it — no, really, don't even say it!"

Guinaifen: "This method actually sounds doable!"

Welt: "Although it does sound a bit unreliable."

Welt: "It really is a workable way of putting yourself in someone else's shoes......."

Furina: "For once, Young Lady Sparkle has come up with a reliable idea."

Furina: "If it could really work like that, Miss Robin would be able to see, through her brother's eyes, all of those helplessnesses."

Furina: "And Mr. Sunday, having seen the things Miss Robin once saw, would come to understand his sister's persistence."

Furina: "In the end, the siblings understand each other, and work together toward their ideal."

Furina: "It's simply a happy ending for everyone!"

Sparkle: "I can tell you prefer designing perfectly neat storylines~"

Sparkle: "Too bad there's no such thing as a truly neat storyline in this world."

Sparkle: "Leaving behind regrets is the real main theme......"

Sparkle: "For instance...... the original storyline of Penacony...... care to guess just where it ends up heading~"

Stelle: "Director Sparkle, you've somehow gotten a little serious all of a sudden."

Stelle: "Please, don't be like this — go back to how you were before, or I'm scared!"

March 7th: "The way she is now, I just feel like the plot's about to go down the drain!"

March 7th: "It can't really be what I'm guessing — family turning against each other, the household ruined, rivers of blood...... right?"

Silver Wolf: "What a great prophet."

Silver Wolf: "Nice guessing — don't do it again."

The video continues.

【But therein lies the problem.】

【If some robins in this world can never spread their wings and fly their whole lives long, how can we claim the sky to be their destination?】

Sunday countered.

【Are you trying to say...... that humans are the same?】

Robin looked up at her brother.

【Think of the Astral Express — it's a perfect example.】

【The Nameless have made tremendous efforts to connect the myriad realms, and their renown fills the cosmos......】

【Yet the number of those who can persevere through such a bitter journey is but a handful — and none of them are ordinary folk, either.】

【For the cause of pioneering is one no ordinary person can bear.】

【Otherwise, how could this Path have once come to broken silver rails, an abandoned train, and a fallen Aeon?】

Sunday used the Astral Express as an example.

【Sophistry.】

【If we follow that logic, wouldn't the future become the privilege of heroes alone?】

Robin could not accept her brother's reasoning.

【Unfortunately, reality is precisely so.】

【The future's other name....... is self-worth.】

【Heroes do exist in this world, and people look up to them and sing their praises — but the vast majority of ordinary people can never become heroes, no matter how long they live.】

【Some are born weak and helpless, some are trapped in misfortune wrought later in life, some yield to baseness and cowardice.】

【In the face of survival, they too are equal — able only to watch as their own worth is ceaselessly stripped away by outside things.】

Sunday said to Robin, his expression complicated.

【That is precisely why we ought to show the weak care and tenderness, and give them ample aid — as though it were for ourselves........】

【The Hymn of Harmony has always taught us this.】

Robin tried to refute Sunday.

【The ambition of Harmony is certainly grand, yet even in this carefree sweet dream, the strong remain forever strong, and the weak grow ever weaker.......】

Human nature is such: it possesses great aspects, yet also contains weaknesses that can never be eradicated.

Fundamentally, if people cannot even guarantee their survival, how much less can they speak of an elusive future of equality?

As long as the law of natural selection still exists in the world... there will inevitably be fledglings that fall to the ground.

Stelle: "To be honest, Sunday's words are basically without fault."

Stelle: "A glorious future cannot be called the privilege of heroes—it is the privilege of the strong."

Stelle: "As long as you are strong enough, your future will surely be a smooth path."

Nasidat: "As for those birds born with broken wings, their futures are destined to be fraught with hardship."

Truth Doctor: "But this is the common truth of the world—you can only try to accept it."

Truth Doctor: "Unless you truly possess the power to change all of this."

Miss Qingque: "In my opinion, you two siblings think too much."

Miss Qingque: "Whether the fledgling yearns for the sky or not is not up to you two to decide."

Miss Qingque: "You only need to open the cage and watch its movements."

Miss Qingque: "The fledgling that fights desperately to fly into the high sky is the one that yearns for the sky."

Miss Qingque: "The fledgling that stays in the cage and refuses to leave—isn't that the one that doesn't yearn for the sky?"

Miss Qingque: "If the fledgling has already made its own choice, why do you still interfere with it?"

Silver Wolf: "Don't impose your own thoughts onto others."

Silver Wolf: "You'll live much more easily."

Stelle: "From my view, Sunday and Ketingniao both feel resentment because of their childhood ideals."
