Xingtie: Starting with an in-depth analysis of the Yellow Springs

"Great! Its singing voice must be beautiful. But where will it live?" Kaixin exclaimed.

Brother: "I will ask the head of the family to build it a birdcage."

"A cage... then it can't fly freely, right?"

[Rin: So cute! These must be the Sunday siblings.]

[Robin: Yes, that was a playful pigeon we rescued when we were kids.]

Something's not right, absolutely not right. It's definitely trying to tell us something.

[Gui Naifen: What can you learn from saving a pigeon? Don't overinterpret it.]

Why don't birds talk?

Walter: ...

At that moment, a gentle voice came from behind.

"Let me see... what is it that has made the two most outstanding interpreters of the Divine Lord so curious that they even forgot to taste the dessert?"

"Oh...poor little thing, its condition is probably not good. Do you want to save it?"

Sister: "I want to... but I don't think I can lock it up."

"why?"

Sister: "Although it's still small, its feathers haven't fully grown in yet, and it can't sing... it didn't hatch to live in a cage. Birds... are born to belong to the sky."

"That's a very romantic idea. What about you, little professor? Do you agree with your sister's point of view?"

The older brother couldn't bear it: "I think my sister is right... but if we leave it in the wild, it will die in a few days."

"Hehe, it seems our little professor is still a bit confused. Well then, children, let me tell you a story."

"As you should know, the Harmonious Pigeon is a bird that can fly through the atmosphere. When flying at high altitudes, their feathers emit a magnificent light due to the high temperature generated by friction, just like shooting stars."

"We are so used to seeing such beautiful scenery that we assume it is their innate ability... Unfortunately, that meteor-like brilliance is the result of their struggle against nature for hundreds of amber ages."

"The ancestors of the Harmonious Pigeon were too weak to survive in the struggle for survival on the ground. To avoid being hunted, they began to look up at the sky and take flight..."

"And so, after thousands and tens of thousands of generations of attempts, one bird in the flock finally learned how to flap its wings correctly. It successfully took flight and bid farewell to the earth."

Chapter 68 Firefly: Am I also part of your play?

The little robin thought for a moment, "So, birds aren't naturally meant to fly, but they manage to do it through sheer willpower, right?"

"Haha, that's certainly an idealistic interpretation. So, what are your thoughts on Sunday?"

Brother: "I...I think the reason people believe that flying is a bird's nature is because they've never seen a bird fall to its death."

"That's an interesting idea. Now you should know how to deal with this little bird, right?"

Brother: "I will... well, put it in a cage for now, at least until it can survive on its own. Because... I... want it to live no matter what."

“Very good. Children, it seems you each have your own answers. Your visions are wonderful, and I sincerely hope they will come true in their own ways.”

Sister: "We'll take good care of it, right, brother?"

Brother: "Hmm. However, Mr. Gopher, there's still something I haven't figured out..."

"Say it, kid."

The older brother asked doubtfully, "What if this little cheerful pigeon never learns to fly? I mean, what if there really are some fledglings in this world that never learn to fly in their entire lives..."

"Should we send them back into the sky... and then just watch them fall to their deaths?"

Of course we should save them! Why send them to their deaths when they can't even fly?

Wendy: But if its dream is the sky, it will fly to the sky even in death.

[That Summer: It seems their philosophies have differed since childhood.]

[Al-Hysen: Indeed, the goal is the same: to save the birds, but the methods to achieve it are different.]

[Ring: How did we get into philosophy?]

[Leicahn: Pinocchio's crisis stemmed from its deviation from harmony. This story clearly shows that the siblings had some differences in their beliefs when they were young, though they weren't obvious yet.]

[March 7th: So, the final boss won't be on Sunday.]

[If you ask me, don't try to save them. So many birds will die; can you save them all?]

Hey, I should at least help out if I see this.

[Bluebird: Just wait until the little bird heals and then release it.]

[If, as asked on Sunday, it can't fly, then it can certainly be kept alive if conditions permit.]

[Klee: The little bird, like Klee, also longs to be free and not stay in the confinement room.]

[Jean: Klee, as long as you don't cause trouble.]

[The robin: Flying is its right, and we should not interfere with its freedom.]

[Sunday: The truth is, birds that can't fly either get preyed on or fall to their deaths; they too tried to survive.]

"You're talking right in your sleep, little bird, it's time to wake up."

On a clear-headed Sunday, I took a deep breath to calm myself, and Gallagher was before me.

"What's wrong? Can't you stand up? Do you need me to help you?"

Sunday's question: "I'm not dead?"

Gallagher sneered, "Hmph, are you happy?"

“…Tell me where the robin is. Now.”

"Heh, I knew your first thought would be her. She's right here, don't worry, your sister is safe. Right now... she's probably still making inquiries in the streets." He spread his hands. "If I were you, I'd be more concerned about myself at this critical moment... after all, there's this bastard who just stabbed you in the chest standing right in front of me."

[Zhe: Sand Gold: Still chasing me on Sunday!]

[Place gold:...]

[Bluebird: What a doting brother! He just realized what was happening and immediately asked the robin.]

[Ling: This is family, right? @Zhe]

(Oh no, I've been watching too many fan-made videos. Now whenever I see Zhe Ling, I start thinking of succubi siblings!)

[Ying: Brother!!!]

Sunday returned to calm. "If you really intend to kill me, you don't need to give me a chance for pleasantries... State your purpose, watchmaker's lackey."

"You saw through that? No wonder you dared to go against the Dream Master and the four major families. It seems my choice was correct."

"A choice?" Sunday wondered.

"You know what I'm going to do. You've seen through my fabrication. My time is running out, so there's no need to keep playing games..."

"I want to cooperate with you."

I'm unhappy about Sunday; my sister is still missing and wants to cooperate with me.

I know even your fabricated story. "What makes you think you can cooperate with me?"

Gallagher smiled.

"With your famous robin on your side, plus a clue about a traitor, and the bright future of Pinocchio—can this special drink satisfy your appetite?"

Your sister is in my hands!

[Xingqiu: Could it be that Sunday also betrayed the family?]

Mr. Sunday, you wouldn't want the robin to know you're not on her side, would you?

Nicole: I'm being manipulated.

Sunday: "I find it hard to believe that someone who is full of lies can speak a few truths."

"It's okay, you don't need to believe me, you should believe me..."

"It's the sense of justice (ambition) in your heart."

Wow, Sunday was the real culprit.

[Impossible. The head of the family treats us very well. The work isn't demanding, and the benefits are plentiful.]

On Sunday, he closed his eyes and pondered for a moment, "...Let me see the robin first."

“Alright. As you wish, she’s here…” Gallagher said, glancing to the side.

Firefly was dumbfounded: "..."

Huh? I'm a robin? This isn't the script.

[Star: Hahaha, Firefly, you're so cute.]

[Rin: Is firefly also part of your play?]

[Fireworks: Hahaha, this is so much fun!]

[Firefly: ?]

Sunday's tone hardened, "What trick are you up to now?"

“Haha, just kidding. I mean, this young lady will take us to see the robin, right?” Gallagher said, looking at the firefly.

With her arms crossed in anger, Liu Ying said seriously, "Of course, there's also the Starry Sky Train and me. There are too many people who need your explanation."

[Star: So cute!]

[Hu Tao: You've made even the fireflies angry.]

【A grumpy little firefly!】

Gallagher: "Haha, that's wonderful. This way, please, Your Excellency, Head of the Oak Family. Now all the actors... are present."

Holy crap, I just realized that a lot of important people have gathered at Liumeng Reef.

[Billy: So, who's the bad guy?!]

Fu Xuan: General...

[Jing Yuan: !? ]

Soon after, Walter and his companions arrived at a platform with three monuments on it.

The gravedigger, Mika, explained, "This is the monument I mentioned earlier, and the name on it... should be familiar to you."

Walter spoke with respect and remembrance: "Lazarina, and...Tirnan."

The three steles are named on both sides, but the middle one is still blank.

Mikael: "Back when Pinocchio was still called the Frontier Prison, it was pioneers who connected it to the stars. They were all heroes who saved Asdna, and their names should be engraved on the monument of time, not on this little stone."

"But now, the star of the event is just a beautiful dream, and the heavy history, like that prison, has long since disappeared without a trace."

Robin: "Their names are engraved on the monument, which means..."

Himeko responded, "According to Mr. Mikael, they passed away a long time ago."

Heroes should not be forgotten!

I've never heard of these names at Pinocchio.

[Pam: They are unsung heroes, but also the greatest pioneers.]

March 7th: Train conductor, we will remember this.

[Star: Me too.]

Chapter 69 Star Core Disaster

Mikael continued.

"Lazarina died in the War of Independence. In order to find out where the memory matter was flowing, she piloted the shuttle alone into the center of the galaxy and never returned..."

"Tirnan was a skilled and reliable cowboy who was good with firearms. He led his people through the brutal foreign wars, but he did not survive until the day when peace truly came."

"In the decade following the war, Pinocone was beset by internal and external troubles. For the sake of Asdna, Tirnan revived the path of exploration, leading the Lantern Moth family to explore beyond the star system, only to be surrounded by the swarm of insects... and the entire army was wiped out."

After hearing about March 7th, I felt down. "Although I had expected it, the stories of the seniors... are still very regrettable."
