Just as soon as the hypothesis was proposed, someone proposed the opposite possibility, that even if the initial condition variables are large, the data model of nature itself has normalization, which will calm the impact. In the same example, even if a tornado occurs in Texas, the United States, and reaches the tropical rainforest of the Amazon River Basin in South America, the final result is just touching the wings of a butterfly, and it can no longer cause more impact.
Whether the assumption is the former or the latter, it cannot be proven or disproven, so quantum physics proposes a theory that can be accepted by both parties - the uncertainty principle. Everything is possible, and everything is uncertain.
She has no right to be willful, precisely because of the uncertainty - perhaps even Gaia herself cannot predict it, so her willfulness may not be the one who has to bear the consequences, but the entire earth's ecosystem.
At this time, the vegetable garden did not show the dangerous situation that Lingye had imagined.
The Oshima family's vegetable garden was built with wind and rain protection in mind, and the greenhouse used to grow tropical fruits uses high-quality tempered glass. Unless Mount Fuji next door erupts, normal strong winds and heavy rains will not have much impact.
Maria wasn’t the only one in the vegetable garden, either.
Shinomiya was picking ripe fruits and vegetables for today's breakfast.
Shigong picked a tomato from the branch, and because he knew Maria didn't use pesticides, he simply wiped it and took a bite. The rich juice had enough sweetness, and the unique sourness of the vitamins themselves, which instantly satisfied his taste buds, his entire mouth, and even his entire body.
"Maria, your skills in growing crops are getting better and better. Even if these vegetables and fruits are taken to the food academy where I used to work part-time, they will be rated above A."
Level A means special supplies to the college from professional farms.
The varieties of these fruits and vegetables are carefully selected, using the most suitable humidity and soil. The fruits on the branches are plump, and although no pesticides are used, there are almost no pests.
"Mr. Ueki taught me well. I am still far behind you, teacher."
Shinomiya knew that Maria's words were not exaggerating. As the manor's gardener, Mr. Ueki's cultivation techniques were truly master-level. It was already amazing that Maria could learn a few points.
He ate the tomato in his hand in a few bites, without wasting any flesh. While savoring the taste, Sigong inadvertently picked up a few fragments of distant memories. Those were memories from his childhood that he had long forgotten, but under the reminder of his taste buds, they unexpectedly surfaced in his mind.
Vast fields, barefoot children—and the mother in the memory.
"That's it, Chef Shinomiya?"
Maria's voice woke Shinomiya from his memories and he shook his head.
"No, it's nothing. The young lady should be awake by now. I'll go prepare breakfast."
Maria was confused as she watched Chef Shinomiya leave as if he had found an excuse. However, the sky was getting darker and darker, and raindrops were already falling.
After making sure that the waterproof tarpaulins in the fields outside were covered and the corners were windproofed with nails, Maria locked the glass door of the greenhouse and hurried back to the castle before the rainstorm really came.
The rain seemed to be on time. Almost the next second after Maria rushed back to the castle, heavy rain poured down like a leak in the sky. With the rumble of thunder, looking back outside, the sky and the earth became hazy.
"You're not wet, are you, Maria?"
"Miss, why are you here...are you waiting for me?"
"Well, I heard Maria went to the orchard, so I was thinking about sending an umbrella over. Maria sure enough got wet."
Ling was also standing in the hall, holding two umbrellas in her hands.
"It's just a little rain, it's okay, well, I just happened to get back before the rain got heavier." Maria was somewhat thankful. If the eldest lady really came to give her an umbrella, it would be meaningless to have an umbrella in such heavy rain outside. There is no doubt that both of them would be soaked.
Maria was somewhat touched, but also somewhat scared. The eldest daughter had just fallen ill when she was staying at the villa in Chiba Prefecture a few days ago, and she heard from Butler Ye that she had been weak for several days after being brought home.
It has only been a few days since I recovered. If I get caught in the rain again, the disease might recur.
"Maria, go take a hot shower and change your clothes. By the way, Maria, your closet isn't full of the same clothes, right?"
Lingya suddenly remembered that Maria seemed to be wearing the same maid outfit every day she saw her, even when she went out.
Maria was stunned by the sudden question.
"Of course I have other clothes, but this one is the most suitable."
Maria smiled gently, making people feel somewhat happy.
Chapter 63: Our Lady is above
I remember that was many years ago.
March is the graduation season. The campus is filled with joy and longing, as well as a little sadness of parting.
March, full of spring, is also the season of cherry blossoms. Along the cherry blossom avenue with colorful petals, parents accompany their children for a stroll around the campus to spend this important day in their lives.
Amidst the bustling crowd, an exceptionally petite figure stood alone, out of place with the surroundings.
"Maria, Maria-senpai."
Maria stopped walking when she heard someone calling her name. She turned around and looked up slightly.
Seeing Maria stop and look at her, the girl who had mustered up her courage suddenly became nervous. It took her several attempts to find her voice.
"Congratulations, Senior. I heard that you were admitted to the University of Tokyo in advance."
"Thank you. You are Nanako from the first year, right?"
"Yes!" Nanako was surprised and delighted that her senior remembered her name. She turned back subconsciously and saw her companions in the distance cheering her up.
Maria kept her head up while speaking, because this junior in the first year of high school was more than ten centimeters taller than her.
It’s not that Maria is too short. Although she graduated from high school, in fact, in terms of age, the 13-year-old Maria is two years younger than the normal high school freshmen who enter school at the age of 15.
Graduating from high school at the age of 13 and being admitted to the University of Tokyo is undoubtedly a legend of the school.
"Senior, if possible, can I ask you for the second button of your uniform?"
Maria was a little surprised, but not too surprised. This was a tradition during graduation season, and she just didn't expect that someone would want her buttons.
"Of course." Maria grabbed her button and pulled it off gently, then handed it to Nanako, "Here, I wish you a happy high school life in the next two years."
"Ah, thank you!"
Nanako took it with a little excitement, and there were envious voices around her. What Maria didn't expect was that after seeing Nanako succeed, she was surrounded the next moment.
"Senior, please give me a button!"
"I also want!"
"Maria-senpai!"
When she squeezed out of the crowd, all the buttons of Maria's school uniform were gone, and it became a small vest draped over her shirt.
She ran out at a trot, her clothes were a little messy. But after the farce, her melancholy mood improved a lot. She finally felt that she really had to leave this school.
At the end of the cherry blossom path is a ginkgo forest, which is the intersection of the school gate, teaching building and cafeteria.
This high school was founded in the 34th year of the Meiji era. It is a school for the nobility and a Catholic girls' school with a deep tradition. It is rare to be admitted as a special student with a tuition reduction in the past ten years.
At the fork in the road that is the only way to enter the school, there is a small statue of Mary surrounded by flowers.
Students would pray spontaneously when passing by on their way to and from school. Although they were a little uncomfortable when the nuns asked them to do so when they entered high school, it became a habit after three years. Students in higher grades would put their hands together every time they passed by even if no one was watching.
For Mary, this has a different meaning, because she was found under the statue of Mary, and the throne of the Virgin Mary, who bowed her head in thought, seemed like the place where she was born.
Maria closed her eyes and prayed as usual. It was her last day on campus, and this was probably the last time she would come to pray before this statue.
Then, when she finished praying and opened her eyes, she found an unexpected person.
"Congratulations on your graduation, Maria. I'm sorry, Ling was too noisy and it took me some time to get her to sleep. Is the graduation ceremony over? I seem to be late."
After being stunned for a while, Maria realized that it was not an illusion.
"Mr. Oshima, Madam, why are you here..."
The people who appeared before Maria were the head and wife of the Oshima family who had taken her in since she was a child.
"Graduation season should be spent with family." Mrs. Oshima walked over to Maria and straightened her clothes. "Ah, all the buttons are gone. Maria is really popular."
Maria was a little speechless, perhaps because the word "family" was too warm.
She was an orphan abandoned in front of the statue of Mary and was taken in and raised by the Oshima family. She should be grateful enough. Should she ask for more?
When she was born, she lost her parents in front of the statue of Mary, but at this moment, she found them again in front of the statue of Mary.
Maria opened her eyes at the sound of the alarm clock, and got up in her pajamas and opened the closet. Half of the closet was filled with ordinary clothes, and the other half was filled with maid outfits of the same style.
Maria would not take the Oshima family's efforts for her for granted, even though the master and mistress had never treated her as a maid. But only by wearing this dress could Maria convince herself to continue staying in this manor with peace of mind.
"Good morning, Miss."
"Good morning, Maria."
Seeing the sleepy Miss Lingye gradually wake up and greet her with a smile. This is the beginning of a new day for Maria. She can't see enough of that smile. That is her only family now.
[Virgin Mary, please bless me no matter what, so that the young lady can always keep that smile.]
The eldest lady is always so dazzling. It is enough for her to guard silently by the side, that is her whole meaning.
Before we know it, it is September. Strictly speaking, it is the beginning of autumn. However, the weather on weekdays is still so hot that it makes people breathless, which makes people wonder whether the ancients had any misunderstandings about the season of "autumn".
The autumn weather is clear and cool, and the autumn breeze brings a refreshing coolness. The idioms related to autumn are clearly all about coolness, which has nothing to do with the actual scorching sun.
"Reiya, have you heard that Sakura is sick?"
As soon as she arrived at school, Ling received unexpected news from Chise.
"sick?"
"Yes, Director Asaka told me."
Because Sakura and the other two were not in the same elementary school, they only found out about Sakura's illness after Director Asaka told them that the filming had been postponed.
Yesterday was the last day of the holiday, and although she should have finished her homework at the 'study meeting', Sakura found that she had not written down the weather in her picture diary - this was the sequelae of completing two months' diary at once. Originally, Sakura had saved old recent newspapers, and the weather in the newspapers could be used as a reference, but those newspapers were unexpectedly dealt with by her father.
She had no choice but to go to the library in the rain to borrow old magazines. Although she finished her homework, she was also soaked in the rain.
We all know that we can catch a cold in the winter, but it’s just as easy to catch a cold if we get caught in the rain in the summer.
"Let's go visit after school?"
"Agree."
Because they had exchanged ideas before, Reiya and Tomoyo both knew Sakura's address, but this was the first time they actually visited.
Although I thought about bringing some of Sakura's favorite dessert, since she has a cold and a fever, it would be better to send some fruit.
"Sakura, are you sleeping?"
Sakura, who was half asleep and half awake, heard her father's voice in a daze and hummed twice, becoming a little more awake.
"A friend is visiting you."
Friends, maybe the teacher asked the students to bring textbooks and notes? Sakura thought with a confused mind that she didn't have many friends in the class. Even so, she should get up and thank him for coming to see her.
Sakura struggled to sit up in bed, but heard an unexpected sound.
"No need to get up, Sakura. You should continue to lie down if you have a fever."
"Reiya? Tomoyo?"
