Chapter 360

Stelle: "They both wanted to forge an ideal paradise, where suffering would no longer exist in the world."

Stelle: "Actually... have you two ever considered that the moment you conceived this idea, you were already walking the path toward realizing your own value?"

Stelle: "In other words, you both are people who wish to be heroes."

Miss Qingque: "......."

Miss Qingque: "You're right... fundamentally, that's exactly it."

March 7th: "So, Miss Qingque and Mr. the bird and Sunday are also strong ones—they too live to realize their own value."

Truth Doctor: "This is human nature; no one can escape it, unless you're not human!"

Stelle: "Indeed, if you were a dog, you clearly wouldn't have this trouble."

March 7th: "How can you say that? How do you know little puppies don't have this kind of trouble?"

Stelle: "Because I talked with Peipei, and she doesn't have this trouble at all!"

Asta: "Uh... I asked Peipei, and it does seem she means exactly that......."

Silver Wolf: "You actually talk to dogs?"

Silver Wolf: "Hah, should I say it's no surprise, given you?"

The video continues.

【If people don't live for the future, are they merely living to live?】

【If Brother believes even Harmonious Harmony cannot save the weak from their plight, then which Star God can realize our ideal?】

Miss Qingque's tone carried a hint of questioning.

【......】

【People always forget that once, when the first bird flew into the sky, the entire world's expectation of it......】

【Was that no fledgling would ever again fall dead to the earth.】

Paimon: "Uh... if people don't live for the future, are they just living to live?"

Paimon: "Paimon thinks... it's a bit confusing."

Ying: "Living for the future and living to live... don't they seem compatible?"

Hu Tao: "Actually, as long as a person is alive, they already have a future."

Hu Tao: "It's just that this future isn't necessarily a good one."

Hu Tao: "But no one has ever said a future must be good to count as a future."

Stelle: "Put simply, most ordinary people live merely to live."

Stelle: "Because they have no grand, turbulent future, they can only live plain, ordinary lives."

Stelle: "Yet even a plain life cannot be denied as their future."

Stelle: "Similarly, we cannot deny that living merely to live is wrong."

Miss Qingque: "Exactly! Just look at me!"

Miss Qingque: "I'm a classic example of someone who drifts along, living merely to live."

Miss Qingque: "Yet I still feel my future is bright."

Miss Qingque: "There's no reason to say only a hero's future counts as a future."

Miss Qingque: "How many heroes are there?"

Miss Qingque: "Ordinary people are far more numerous."

Fornina: "Actually... it's because Miss Qingque believes false dreams aren't truly human futures, which makes her reject the dreamscape so strongly."

Stelle: "Exactly right—in reality, you live your days; in dreams, you live your days too."

Stelle: "If you insist, both ultimately lead to nothingness—can you then say life has no meaning?"

Huang Quan: "Simply being alive is the greatest meaning!"

Huang Quan: "Because when you die, you plunge utterly into nothingness, and all meaning vanishes."

Huang Quan: "At that point, talking about any future becomes futile."

Black Swan: "Heh, so one must first be alive, before pursuing anything else precious."

Sand Gold: "Living merely to live... that's correct."

Sand Gold: "Because if you don't survive, how can you have any future?"

Flowing Firefly: "Similarly, only by first ensuring your own survival can you pursue the meaning of your existence!"

The video continues.

【Sister, are you reading? What are you reading?】

【Mr. Songfeimu gave me a picture book! It tells the story of the Harmonious Choir.】

【If I could become a Tuner, I want to summon... the Full Chorus Dominix!】

【I want to sing with everyone, send our wishes out into the world, so everyone can feel happiness and joy.】

【I see.】

【Then... I'll choose the Full Chorus too.】

【Brother... don't you have your own wish?】

【Of course I do.】

【But... it includes your wish, and everyone's wish.】

【It will be a true paradise, where everyone finds peace.】

【Then, we'll build a stage there and invite everyone to watch our performance—so both your wish and mine will be fulfilled, using the power of the Full Chorus.】

【Great, then we're agreed.】

【Mm, pinky swear! But how do we become a Tuner...?】

【........】

【Perhaps, one must first become a star.】

Kole: "Another one of Mr. Sunday's memories?"

Kole: "It seems that from a very young age, he already had his own goal."

March 7th: "I have a feeling the plot is about to take a strange turn."

Stelle: "Hey, I've got a hunch — something big is about to happen!"

Welt: "The Harmony Choir Dominicus..."

Welt: "The embodiment of Harmony, a true Emanator of Harmony..."

Himeko: "Sigh... looks like this time we'll most likely be facing an Emanator again, won't we?"

Stelle: "What the heck?"

Stelle: "Me, fight an Emanator?!"

Stelle: "For real?!"

Stelle: "Waaah, this is bad! Brother Dan Heng, come rescue me quick!"

Boothill: "Meow, what the heck, the two of us still haven't even entered the dream yet!"

Stelle: "Sigh, looks like I can't count on you guys. I hope my sis Quan can arrive in time to protect me!"

Firefly: "I... I can protect you too!"

Stelle: "No way — protecting a pretty girl is my unshirkable duty. I should be the one protecting you!"

Firefly: "But... but I have Sam..."

Stelle: "Uh... that won't work either."

Stelle: "This is an Emanator — even Sam can't block it, right?"

Silver Wolf: "If she's willing to throw her life away, she just might be able to hold it off for a moment."

Silver Wolf: "You don't know — once, in a moment of utter despair and rage, she burned herself up and blasted a whole planet to bits!"

Ying: "Bl... blasted a planet to bits?!"

Ying: "Young Lady Firefly did that?!"

Ying: "For real...!"

Navia: "That has to be fake, right... Young Lady Firefly is such a delicate person..."

Navia: "Oh, I simply mean she's delicate as a person — the mech doesn't count."

Kafka: "It was merely a single sublimating strike that poured out everything. It can't be taken as the norm."

Kafka: "Let's just say that after that one strike, the fact that she was still alive was already a testament to her powerful will to live.

Stelle: "Damn!"
