Chapter 403

Zhong Li: "Similarly, before making a choice, you should understand that others have the right to choose as well."

Hu Tao: "Back then, Miss Qingque experienced that incident."

Hu Tao: "But Mr. Sunday still never restricted Miss Qingque's movements."

Hu Tao: "This actually means he already has an answer inside, doesn't it?"

Truth Doctor: "It's less that he has an answer, and more that he's confused, seeking a chance to find one himself."

Truth Doctor: "That's precisely why, in the video, he has not restricted your actions until now—he wishes to engage your ideals in a direct and honorable clash."

Stelle: "No, don't touch me! My body's weak—I'd fall apart at the slightest touch!"

March 7th: "Hey, you, why are you boosting others and dimming your own spirit?"

March 7th: "You're just a paper tiger, aren't you?"

The video continues.

{In your view... what does it mean to live happily? }

Liuying asked Sunday.

{Good question. }

{Human consciousness is essentially an illusion—a prison built upon the concept of self-worth. }

{People, misled by this illusion, commit errors, yet the consequences are borne by external things. }

{When layer upon layer of errors fill the populace and become impossible to trace... }

{These prisons collectively form a single penitentiary: the natural law known as survival of the fittest. }

{And nature is always accompanied by plunder and sacrifice... its opposite is called order. }

{What I intend to do is precisely this: place all beings' happiness under a single order. }

{People will no longer need to make bitter choices, no longer need to confront human frailties, nor shed their beastly habits to build a paradise for humanity. }

{Merely describing this idea is too abstract—let me give a simple example. }

{Perhaps you know that in certain worlds, social systems exist called weekend or three-day weekend systems. }

{On these hard-won days of rest, people are freed from life's burdens and return to inner peace. }

{Only on such days do people escape the law of the jungle, and can live happily for these few short days. }

{Unfortunately... two or three nights are far too brief compared to a long life. }

{In my view, society's ideal system should be a seven-day weekend. }

{On the day after Sunday comes the second, third, and even eternal next Sunday... }

{This is the face of the new world: an eternal day of idleness and peace. }

Miss Qingque: "What?!"

Miss Qingque: "Every day is Sunday?!"

Miss Qingque: "The social system is a seven-day weekend?!"

Miss Qingque: "Good heavens, what an earthly paradise!!"

Miss Qingque: "Sunday-bro, I crown you yyds!!"

Stelle: "What Sunday-bro?"

Stelle: "This is my seven-day-weekend-bro!!"

Stelle: "I support my seven-day-weekend-bro as the arbiter of order—who's for it, who's against?"

March 7th: "Ah... just a seven-day weekend, and you've all switched sides?"

March 7th: "Though... it does sound... strangely appealing."

Wind: "Eh-heh, so that means no more working for money every day?"

Wind: "Hmm... it does sound wonderful."

Wind: "But... too much idleness isn't good either."

Truth Doctor: "It's a social system most ordinary people long for."

Truth Doctor: "It caters to human nature."

Truth Doctor: "But I can only say—it hinders the world's development."

Sandgold: "According to human nature, whether it helps or harms the world's development is clearly not what most people consider."

Sandgold: "Just like company employees—if they were truly allowed to take days off every day, they'd cheer wildly, not worry whether the company might collapse..."

"

Stelle: "Actually, debating this is useless. The reason humans have so many problems and conflicts is precisely because of human frailties."

Stelle: "Families who worship Concord squabble over human nature; remnants who believe in Order scheme to resurrect the Order Star God..."

Stelle: "In the end, they all think only of their own goals."

Stelle: "They don't care how others are affected."

Stelle: "So, jokes aside, Sunday's paradise cannot exist."

Stelle: "Because he lacks the power to achieve it."

Stelle: "And because complex human nature won't allow it!"

Botio: "Leaving human nature aside, this guy is just too arrogant."

Botio: "Your ideal is good—I won't deny that, my little treasure."

Botio: "But why the hell do you think you have the ability to accomplish all this?"

Botio: "Even Star Gods wouldn't dare say such things—and you do."

Botio: "Bro, you've lost your mind!"

Stelle: "Seven-day-weekend-bro, listen to me—joining Order is a dead end."

Stelle: "You must do everything in your power to change these sufferings."

Stelle: "Then I suggest you join the Sea Patrol Rangers."

Stelle: "You're so disgusted by injustice—doesn't that just beg for you to draw your blade and save the oppressed?"

Sunday: "If order truly cannot fulfill my grand aspiration, I will accept reality and consider your proposals."

Firework: "Oh my, Chicken Wing Boy—you've got potential!"

Firework: "So if you leave, can I become the head of the Oak Clan?"

Firework: "Hehe, I've never been a Clan Head yet~"

Firework: "That'd be fun, right~ Hehe."

Sunday: "....."

The video continues.

【Thus, everyone can return to their rightful place within the Paradise.】

【Some gaze at the Milky Way, utterly absorbed in calculating the distance to the solitary world of Pei Gana; others embrace in corners, free from unnecessary duties........】

【No longer burdened by the suffering of reality, only then can humanity face its destined end with the purest dignity, living a life worthy of honor.】

【This is living happily.】

【Young Lady Firefly—you, afflicted by the Disorder of Disinheritance—surely understand what this means, don't you?】

Sunday finished describing his envisioned world,

and turned to Firefly.

【........】

Firefly couldn't help but sigh,

falling into silence.

【It sounds..... utterly flawless......】

March 7th scratched her head,

finding no way to refute it.

Stelle: "Flawless?"

Stelle: "I don't think so."

Stelle: "This is only Sunday's own definition of happiness."

Stelle: "It may represent the majority view of 1.6, but there will always be a small fraction who don't see this as happiness."

Stelle: "For example, maybe someone actually enjoys being exploited every day?"

Stelle: "If you sent such a person to Sunday's world of happiness, wouldn't it be worse than death?"

Miss Qingque: "Wow, what's this? Innate Ox-Horse Sacred Body?"
