Chapter 448

March 7th: "Could the Land of Exile just collapse like this?"

Stelle: "Very likely."

Stelle: "When evenly matched, neither of them will submit to the other."

Stelle: "Who knows, they might fight to the end, get desperate, and all perish together — you never know."

Paimon: "Mm... I really don't get it. Why do people under heaven all have to fight for power and profit?"

Paimon: "Wouldn't it be nice to just live a good life?"

Lumine: "Paimon thinks this way because she has no interest in these things, no ambition."

Lumine: "But for some people, it's not like that...."

【The patriarch of the Clover family intended to throw in with the Company, trading freedom for survival.】

【But he was slain by his own eldest son in the name of righteousness, and the latter took over the patriarch's seat.】

Words began to appear beside the puppet.

【Child, you never served the old master, so you do not know his might.】

【He can take away our freedom, and so he can grant us freedom.】

Stelle: "Good lord, even after the war was won, there are still fence-sitters."

Stelle: "The Company caused all this suffering in the first place, and yet people still want to throw in with the Company?"

Stelle: "Aren't they pathetic?"

March 7th: "The Company's influence is just too great."

March 7th: "If someone wants to keep siding with the Company, I guess you can't really blame them..."

March 7th: "I just didn't expect this person to be slain by his own eldest son in the name of righteousness."

March 7th: "What kind of trashy movie plot is this?"

Furina: "Family turns against itself, blood flows like a river."

Furina: "Miss March 7th's prophecy — could it have also prophesied things of the past at the same time?"

Furina: "That's way too miraculous!!"

March 7th: "Ah, this..."

March 7th: "This has to be just a coincidence, right??"

Hu Tao: "By the way, what does 'trading freedom for survival' even mean?"

Hu Tao: "Aren't they already free?"

Hu Tao: "What else is hindering their survival?"

Gallagher: "Once you're free, the second harsh problem comes right at you."

Gallagher: "The living environment!"

Gallagher: "Don't be fooled by how Penacony looks now — all that splendor, all those glittering lights and revelry everywhere."

Gallagher: "But when it was still the Land of Exile, the environment was as harsh as it could possibly get."

Gallagher: "And the people of the Land of Exile, because they had no backing whatsoever..."

Gallagher: "... found it extremely difficult to keep surviving in such conditions."

Aventurine: "Back when the prison's high walls sheltered them, naturally they had nothing to worry about."

Aventurine: "Now that they're away from the prison's high walls, they can only figure out how to build new shelters on their own."

The video continues.

【The galaxy is cruel and merciless. The Lampmoth family line attempted to till the silver tracks left by the train, but encountered the remnants of a swarm and was utterly destroyed.】

As the words fell,

words appeared on the puppet.

【Those who dance with bees shall perish of their sting.】

【I have long known my fate; this day was bound to come.】

Miss Qingque: "Poor Lampmoth — the moment they stepped out, they ran into a ferocious swarm."

Miss Qingque: "This is truly unbearably tragic...."

Miss Sushang: "It seems the Lampmoth family line really was one that considered the Land of Exile wholeheartedly."

Miss Sushang: "The Black Brennan family line before them seemed to be the same."

March 7th: "And yet these good family lines are the first to be struck by misfortune."

March 7th: "Sigh... this world... really is too unfair!!!"

March 7th: "Why can't it be those scheming family lines that get wiped out instead?"

Stelle: "Good people don't live long; scoundrels live for a thousand years."

Stelle: "The ways of this world are long overdue for a change."

Stelle: "Brother Sunday, I'd suggest you skip the whole Penumbrian Dream idea."

Stelle: "Just transform into the Stellaron god of judgment and judge all the injustice in the world — done!"

Stelle: "Send all those who truly deserve to die straight to hell — isn't that way more practical than your ideal?"

Boothill: "That there Wubbaboo of his, I agree!"

Boothill: "What is this precious Penumbrian Dream of yours — it actually wants to take in anyone and everyone."

Boothill: "But put it another way: what right do those scumbags have to live in a paradise?"

Boothill: "The only place suited for scumbags to survive is hell!"

Boothill: "So put away that saintly heart of yours — not everyone is worth your pity."

Bo Tio: "Or is it... you can forgive the guy who once used a stray bullet to blow a hole through your sister's neck?"

Hu Tao: "Bad guys deserve to die!"

Hu Tao: "Seems like that's something no one would deny."

Sunday: "...."

Sunday: "To judge all the injustices of the world?"

Sunday: "In my view, that is far more difficult than crafting sweet dreams."

Stelle: "You afraid of difficulty?"

Sunday: "Naturally not."

Sunday: "What you say makes sense."

Sunday: "I will go and try this path."

March 7th: "So... after all that back and forth, isn't this still the same path as the Galaxy Rangers?"

March 7th: "Are you guys telling Sunday to abandon Harmony and Order, and embrace the Hunt??"

Sunday: "In my view, a Path is merely a tool to realize an ideal."

Sunday: "If Harmony and Order truly cannot fulfill my ambitions."

Sunday: "Joining the Hunt is not out of the question."

Miss Qingque: "Sunday's constantly switching-faction mindset reminds me of a rather unflattering term from Luofu Xianzhou...."

Guinaifen: "You mean, a slave to three surnames??"

Miss Qingque: "Cough, cough.... that's right."

Miss Qingque: "If he really joined the Hunt, wouldn't he just become a slave to three surnames?"

Silver Wolf: "Hahahaha."

Silver Wolf: "Now that you mention it."

Silver Wolf: "That term really fits his character perfectly."

Stelle: "Slave to three surnames Sunday?"

Stelle: "Pfft—pardon me, couldn't help but laugh out loud."

Guinaifen: "Um, I was just kidding, don't get the wrong idea!"

Sunday: ".... No matter."

Sunday: "I do not care how the world views me."

Sunday: "So long as I can fulfill the wish in my heart, what harm in being a slave to three surnames?"

Furina: "Suddenly feel like Mr. Sunday also has quite the makings of a ruthless hero."

Furina: "Just need to let him lower his moral bottom line a bit more."
