Chapter 437: Bengtie x Pinoconi x In Our Time 67
#AdministratorQ: Haha~ It’s a small problem. There will be plenty of things to think about later.
#藤丸立香: …? Is this a small problem? This is a bigger problem! According to what I said before, doesn’t that mean that there will be some situations in the future that we can’t defeat and we have to use our brains?
#Doctor: ...He is silent. Never mind. Don't ask any more questions. Let's watch the video later to get a more detailed understanding of the situation.
#藤丸立香: ...OK
#Paimon: Hmm... this period of history is about how Hanunu led people to rebel against the company, and the nameless guests stayed to help, right?
#姬子: He said this, which means he still wants to convince us and is unwilling to fight directly...
#Mikhail: ...Alas, not everything has to have a result. We have done it, so we will not regret it. We will just try to do better next time. Similarly, not all seeds planted have to bear fruit immediately. They need time to grow.
#Yes, change can never be accomplished in an instant. You can’t expect a group of newly liberated people to immediately understand what freedom is.
#Wendy: They have just come into contact with "freedom" and have not yet understood its "core", so naturally they cannot find their own "freedom"
#Doctor: People are weak, just like I was... to be more precise, I still am - I am just an ordinary doctor, with a weak personality and love to be lazy. Well, by the way, I really don’t want to be forced to take the lead like in the video!
#Leif: So you just need to not be lazy, and we will be blown to death together
#Doctor: ...Hehe
#Merlin: (eyes shifted) That would be fun then... What would happen if you, Romani, were killed in advance?
#Doctor: When a person dies, he is dead.
#藤丸立香: Hey, don't talk about such a scary topic...
#Wendy: Moreover, your understanding of this period of history is wrong. Freedom is never "commanded", but in your understanding, the nameless guest and those who brought liberation were "commanding" them to learn freedom. You narrated this story based on the situation when you released the birds back into the sky, when you had already determined that "freedom" was not a good thing.
#Sunday: Um…
#Too anxious… Actually, you can either not help or not. If you decide to help, you must be prepared for the result that you will not achieve your goal and have long-term patience, just like the flowers you plant may not bloom or the fruit trees you plant may not bear fruit, but you have done your best in the process, so you can give yourself an explanation.
#三月七: It’s so complicated… Whether it’s the video or your comments, I don’t understand at all, what kind of physical and mental prison… uh…
#素尚: +1
#桂乃芬: Well, this is probably what... uh... a cultured person is?
#Paimeng: I think this has nothing to do with intellectuals...
#藤丸立香: This is more like... psychology? philosophy? debate? or something like that
#3月7: I don’t understand…
#Wendy: Well, since they chose to break the physical cage in the first place, sooner or later they will be able to break the spiritual cage, even if this is not their own intentional action, but they subconsciously follow others - or the leader's actions.
#Doctor: It is probably because the "leader" is subconsciously chosen by the group. Although they are not aware of it, their instinct is already in action.
['On the third and fourth days, people will know good and evil and benefits and harms.'
With the sounds of Sunday, the three found the entrance to the second act of the play, this time 'Ode to a Foolish Servant'.
It tells the story of the emergence of seven family lines and the power struggle within Pinocchio. 】
#Paimon: Wait? Seven family lines? There are not only five... er, including the family line of the lantern moth that followed Tiernan to explore and never came back, there are only six...
#Doctor: This means that there is another family that has been wiped out just like the original family of tiger moths. The tree is the oak, the grass is the clover, the flower is the iris, the bird is the night thrush, the beast is the hound, and the fruit... is it the one that disappeared? The insect is the tiger moth.
#Sunday: Um…
#Mockingbird: ...
#Mikhail: If it is the Black Blin family, then…
#Gallah: Let me tell you, just like what was said on Sunday, the Black Blin family was completely wiped out under the planning of the previous head of Clover. The previous head of Clover wanted to join the company, but was solved by the current head of the family, old Otti.
#This is too simple...
#Gallagher: If I really want to go into detail, it’s hard to say
#Yeah, maybe we still don’t understand…
#Gallah: But how can I put it? As expected of the young bird in the old bird's house... they converted one after another... it's really well said.
#Doctor: At this time, the family officially came to Pinoconi, right?
#'Hidden instigator'...? Could it be... uh... Mikhail?
#Gallagher: 'Hidden instigator', 'Regaining rational composure'... I'd say this little bird's words are interesting~
#Doctor: You know what? I don’t know if he is just beautifying himself or being sarcastic… Sanyueqi can tell that this newcomer is not a good person…
#Qiong: Is he talking about the gopher who adopted him and the robin?
Gallagher: Yes~
#三月七: Hmm... I feel like some of their original ideas weren't good, and they looked weird after being changed... Especially the accountant, he was the worst!
#Mikhail: Alas... because Sunday didn't give any other options. The clock trick is not only for calming people down, but also... calming people down is more useful for calming people down when their emotions are out of control...
#Wendy: The original housekeeper's idea was actually quite normal. They were all the same. Since they had left their old master and chosen freedom, they could move forward with their own lives instead of looking for another master.
#Barbara: Artists should be the representatives of irises. They can think their own thoughts. Everyone can sing according to their own ideas - for themselves, for the world, and for whatever they want to sing, even if it is just for singing.
#Qin: This actually reminds me of Mondstadt’s history, when Barbatos led us in a rebellion… uh…
#Dikarapian: Don't mind me, you can do whatever you want
#Qin: ...Anyway, Barbatos left, and after Mondstadt gained some freedom, it was slowly controlled by the nobles. At that time, the girls could only sing for the nobles... How similar it is, but the people of Mondstadt later overthrew the nobles just like they were rebelling against the Tower... So...
#Gallagher: If it weren't for that weird brainwashing ability, Pinocchio might have gained true freedom long ago - right?
#robins: Maybe... But what I can't figure out now is, when people first came to Pinocchio, did they start out by... acting in an orderly way or...
#沙金: In the previous decree, Gopher said that he "never betrayed" his God, so... it is likely that he was a believer in order from the beginning.
#Doctor: In short, the story of this section is probably that Gopher used some special means - such as "Law" or "Dream", to make the five major families completely deviate... Well, the watchmaker, after all, the hidden instigator here should be the watchmaker who represents the development.
#Wendy: She also completely lost her freedom, trapped in the cage of dreams, and from then on obeyed the orders of the dream master.
#Diluke: But since Sunday chose order, maybe what we are talking about here is actually harmonious behavior? After all, Gophermu is an order type, but that doesn't mean he will use order methods as soon as he arrives at Pinocchio. Maybe...
#Nashida: If we think about it another way, if the ones who activated the star core and wanted to come to Pinoconi in the beginning were all from the Harmonious Family, but the leader was actually the Order faction within the Harmonious Family, and they actually used the methods commonly used by the Harmonious Family, but because they knew the methods of the Harmonious Family too well and were dissatisfied with them, they became more and more inclined towards Order?
#三月七: It's so complicated... Teacher Danheng! Help!
#Dan Heng: Whether it is Tongxie or Order, don’t they all belong to the Tongxie family now?
#Qiong: That’s right! Anyway, it’s all done by the family!
#You make a lot of sense, I can't argue with that...
#March7: ...but Miss Robin is obviously a good person!
#Potiou: Well, I think in the final analysis, it is because there is only one family in Tongxie. If you look at other fates, the factions are scattered. Birds of a feather flock together. Wouldn't it be easier to distinguish what he treasures? On the contrary, the family, regardless of whether they are good or bad, are gathered in one faction. Wouldn't it be a mess with all kinds of people? As a result, the internal rift is getting bigger and bigger.
#Walter: Indeed, even though there are some people in the Harmony who use some not-so-good means, there are also those who are truly "harmonious" like the robins.
