Chapter 400

After finishing this story,

March 7th felt as if her heart would shatter.

【It is already in the past; no need for you all to dwell on it.】

【I share this only to help you understand the limitations and struggles of Harmony.】

【No matter how noble the ideal of the strong aiding the weak, it is often merely wishful thinking.】

【Similarly, I have prepared for you all one final topic, one final choice.】

【But rest assured, this choice will bring no heavy consequences.】

【In fact, nothing at all will happen.】

【Because this is merely an illusion, a nightmare that has haunted me for countless nights—】

【If you all had the chance to make a choice as I did.........】

【Would you still support the Robin's journey along the path of Harmony?】

Hu Tao: "This… this question is so agonizing…"

Stelle: "If the Robin were my sister, I would not wish her to walk the path of Harmony."

Stelle: "Because it would very likely mean losing my own sister."

Stelle: "That is something I cannot accept."

March 7th: "You're absolutely right…"

March 7th: "If it were me… I would think the same."

Huang Quan: "But what if this is precisely what she desires?"

Huang Quan: "Should we still try to stop her?"

Furina: "……"

Furina: "Good heavens, after all this circling, we've circled right back to this philosophical question."

Furina: "Suddenly I realize, everything that happened in Penacony seems to revolve around the same core issue."

Stelle: "To be honest, there is no definitive answer to this question,"

Stelle: "Unless everyone's thoughts align perfectly, conflict will inevitably arise from clashing ideals."

Stelle: "The Robin and the bird and Sunday, this deeply bonded sibling pair, now walk paths that have diverged completely."

Stelle: "That alone proves the problem."

Paimon: "Then… what if… I mean, what if there were a world where everyone could fulfill their own wishes, would that solve this problem?"

Paimon: "For example, in this new world, Young Lady Robin could continue using her power to aid the weak and spread the ideals of Harmony, making the world ever more beautiful."

Paimon: "And in this new world, Mr. the bird and Sunday would never have to fear his sister walking the path of Harmony, nor worry for her safety…"

Ying: "Uh… Paimon… the world you're describing… sounds incredibly implausible?"

Ying: "Isn't this just everyone's private fantasy world?"

Paimon: "But… to fulfill everyone's different wishes, isn't this the only way?"

Paimon: "Otherwise, you like sweet Sweetflower Chicken, and I like salty Sweetflower Chicken."

Paimon: "If I want you to like salty Sweetflower Chicken too, you'd definitely refuse."

Paimon: "But on the other hand, I wouldn't want to either!"

Paimon: "Unless we each exist in our own fantasy worlds, we can't fulfill our wishes without conflict!"

March 7th: "Paimon Young Lady's analogy is wonderfully vivid…"

March 7th: "Now that you say it… I suddenly thought of something."

March 7th: "Could it be… that the paradise Mr. the bird and Sunday wants to build is exactly this?!"

Miss Qingque: "No way?!"

Miss Qingque: "I thought his paradise was just a perfectly harmonious, conflict-free new world?!"

Miss Qingque: "If it's like you say, then it's completely false!"

Stelle: "This is just our speculation—I don't believe Mr. the bird and Sunday could achieve such a thing."

Stelle: "After all, it sounds impossibly difficult."

Stelle: "What I'm more curious about now is…"

Stelle: "Is Sweetflower Chicken salty or sweet?!"

March 7th: "Ah, this…"

March 7th: "Your focus is really strange."

Paimon: "Hehe, well, it's chicken made with Sweetflowers, so normally it's sweet."

Paimon: "But if you want it salty, that's fine too."

Paimon: "Both sweet and salty are delicious!"

Stelle: "I'm already drooling."

Stelle: "Ying, sister, when you get on the train, bring me one so I can taste it!"

Stelle: "No, bring two—one salty, one sweet!"

Ying: "Uh… sure thing!"

Ying: "No problem!"

The video continues.

Regarding Mr. the bird and Sunday's question,

Stelle once again engaged the group in discussion.

First, she went over to Firefly.

【Miss Robin's courage is admirable. I had assumed she was merely a star who shone on stage.......】

【But she is also Mr. Sunday's sister......】

【No matter how great an ideal one holds, he surely would not wish for his dearest kin to sacrifice themselves for it.】

Firefly had already given her own opinion.

【So you lean toward not supporting Robin in walking the Path of Harmony.】

【Mm, that's understandable.】

【Then I'll go hear March's opinion.】

Stelle ran off to find March 7th.

【Miss Robin actually went through something like this...... Helping the weak with strength is certainly noble, but if it requires this kind of price...... I, I'm a little unsure now.......】

March 7th hesitated,

stammered,

already not knowing how to choose.

【This question really is a hard one to decide.】

【Then I'll go ask Sister Himeko what she thinks.】

Stelle walked over to Himeko nearby.

【I always feel that I've dreamed of a similar scene on certain nights.】

【In the dream, I saw a group of blurry faces. I didn't know who they were, but we were as close as family.】

【They kept struggling against some transcendent existence........】

【I remember their confusion and fear clearly... but I also remember that in that dream, they never chose to give up—just like Miss Robin.】

【Stelle, if you're lost over Mr. Sunday's question, then look for the answer within your own experiences.】

【Every pioneering journey is accompanied by hardship and danger, but would you really back out?】

【Would you stop March and Brother Dan Heng from heading to the next stop?】

【I believe you must have your own answer in your heart.】

Welt: "Himeko.... You actually had a dream like that?!"

Himeko: "What is it, Welt? Is there a problem?"

Stelle: "Yeah, what's the issue with that?"

Stelle: "Isn't it just a dream?"

Stelle: "Could Uncle Yang have had a dream like that too?"

March 7th: "Feels like maybe it's not that simple?"
