Get off work and become a magical girl

Chapter 265 Disagreement
"Even if you, the captain, tell me to cherish the remaining half of my happiness, I still can't think that such a thing is still my happiness."

Surprisingly, Mo He expressed his opposition to Kuroko's views very directly.

"Happiness is not like bread or cake. Even if half of it is taken away, it can still retain its original taste. Happiness is like the structure of a magic ritual, like a magic tool. If half of it is taken away, then... then what's left is just a pile of parts."

Slowly stabbing the fork in his hand into the cream on the cake, Mo He squinted his eyes, his sight seemed to penetrate through the Delphinium and look at something else:

"Things like that are no longer happiness. It's just that our memories give them meaning, making us feel that they are still 'part of happiness'. In fact, now they are just parts."

"Captain, you are too easygoing. At times like this, we should try to find a way to bring back the lost happiness, or create another one. Otherwise, we will just be trapped in the past."

This was the first time since their reunion that Mo He expressed such a long opinion in front of Cui Que. Although his words were still a little stumbling, his semantics were surprisingly fluent.

So, Delphinium finally got a glimpse into a corner of his thoughts.

"Who told you this?" she asked after some thought.

Mo He paused.

“…No, it’s not.”

Then, she explained, “I came up with it myself when I was discussing it with others.”

"That's surprising, because it doesn't sound like something you would say in the past."

Delphinium sat up straight, folding her hands beside the put down teacup. "No, maybe I shouldn't be surprised. After all, it's been so long, it's normal for your mind to change."

Mo He did not respond, which was tantamount to agreeing with Cuiqiao's words.

"I don't think you're wrong."

So the bird continued: "Things in this world cannot all be the same. Even happiness, it is possible that we all use the same word to refer to it, but we are not talking about the same thing."

"Just like this pot of chocolate, we call it 'chocolate', but in fact, the different content of cocoa butter, sugar, milk and even water can give it a completely different taste, color and even shape."

Delphinium pointed to the chocolate hot pot in front of her: "The dark chocolate that is caked, and the hot cocoa that is melted and mixed with milk, they are both chocolate, but they are very different."

"...I don't understand." Even Mo He herself didn't know how many times she had said this.

"It's a very simple thing, Mo He. My idea of ​​happiness is right. Your idea is also right. The opposite of the truth is not necessarily wrong. It may just be another truth. Maybe, the 'happiness' you and I want is different, so our views are different."

Kuizi slowly closed her eyes: "I didn't lie about this question, Mohe. If you think I was not sincere when answering this question, maybe... it's just that we are different."

Mo He was a little dazed.

We are different.

This sentence can be seen everywhere, even Mo He herself knows that everyone in this world is different. However, at this moment, she still felt that her breathing was much faster.

"We are all people who are pursuing happiness, but what I want is something very simple. I can easily be satisfied with what I find. It doesn't have any complicated structure, so even if it is divided and taken away, I can, or must, hold on to what is left, because it is truly my happiness."

Cuique actually noticed Mo He's emotions and state, but now she felt that she had spied on something, and these things urged her not to show mercy and to make the truth clear enough:
"The happiness you want is probably more complicated and sophisticated than mine, so you're troubled by this, right? But, that kind of overly complicated happiness... I'm sorry, I don't quite understand."

This sentence ended the discussion of this topic. After this sentence, Mo He said nothing more and just mechanically stuffed the dessert into his mouth.

Fortunately, although she looked a little depressed, she was not depressed yet, and seemed to be lost in thought. Therefore, Delphinium did not continue to disturb her thoughts.

The desserts on the table were changed one after another. This meal was supposed to be afternoon tea... but now it has become a dinner party that lasted for more than two hours.

"Excuse me, this is your last dish and drink, Fairy Fruit Wine Smoothie Mango Loquat Parfait. I hope you two like it."

The busy waiter walked between the tables, placed the two glasses of yellow drinks belonging to Delphinium's table in front of the two of them without leaking a drop of liquid, then bowed and said goodbye, marking the end of this two-hour dessert marathon.

Only at this time would Delphinium be thankful that she was now a magical girl. Even though she had been eating dessert for two hours, not only did she not feel any strange sensation in her body, but her sense of taste was also kept at its best. If she had eaten such a high-sugar meal in Lin Yun's style, not to mention the problem of blood sugar, her tongue would probably have been numbed by the sweetness.

While thinking about all these things, Delphinium reached out and took Parfait, and decided to abandon her common sense of health preservation as a human being, obey the taste of the magical girl, and put a spoonful of the mixture of smoothie and jelly into her mouth.

The product the waiter mentioned has the word "Fairy Wine" in its name, but Fairy Wine is famous in the country for supplying the royal court, and is a well-known low-alcohol wine. So the slightly bitter taste of alcohol is not a problem for Delphinium, who has been to the wine market for a long time as Lin Yun. On the contrary, this slight bitterness, combined with the sweet and sour taste of loquat mango and the refreshing taste of slush, can take away some of the greasy taste of the previous sweet meal.

Silently evaluating the parfait in her hand, Kuija subconsciously looked at Mo He, only to find that something was not right with Mo He's condition.

Because at this moment, Mo He seemed to be completely unaware of the arrival of the waiter and the fact that there was a cup of parfait in front of her. Instead, she kept putting the previous dish into her mouth. When her mouth was covered with jam, she subconsciously pulled the napkin in front of her.

The scary thing was that a corner of the napkin was now pressed under the parfait.

So, when Kuija noticed it, Mo He had already pulled out the napkin, and the unfortunate parfait fell over, with the half loquat on the top flying into the air.

"Be careful."

Delphinium subconsciously wanted to use her magic suit to stop all this, but then she remembered that this was a magic-free area and she couldn't use her magic suit. So she could only stand up, almost throwing herself on the table with her upper body, and then she grabbed Parfait's cup with her hands.

Unfortunately, because of that brief thought, although she prevented the worst situation from happening, she failed to completely stop the water from being spilled.

The jelly hit Mo He's face, and the mixture of smoothie and fruit wine splashed onto her shirt and hair, completely soaking the fur on her prosthetic limbs.

Mo He's upper body suddenly became wet.

"Are you okay?"

After putting the parfait back in place with some difficulty, Delphinium immediately asked, "Which parts are wet? I'll call the waiter over."

Mo He raised his head.

There was jam at the corners of her mouth, jelly on her face, and fruit wine dripping on her hair, but she still looked calm at this moment, as if she was not the one in such a mess.

"Captain, I've thought about this seriously."

It was unknown how much time had passed since she last spoke, so it seemed that the topic she wanted to talk about was still the same as before.

"Even if the things we have encountered over the years are different; even if the things we want are different; even if the things we fight for are different..."

She slightly opened her eyes, revealing her amber pupils. The slightly sharp pupils now looked like the pupils of an animal:
——"But I can't just sit there and watch. I want to help you."
