Sunday: "Well, seeing is believing. I'll go with you. The dream master hasn't arrived yet, so we still have time to wander around."
The two met their first guest, a cheerful, ordinary lady.
She thinks dreams are wonderful; as long as you can afford the room fee, you can experience all kinds of dream bubbles, and you won't get sick or grow old—it's the best paradise.
Since we're not immortal beings, our lives are only sixty or seventy years long, so we should just be happy.
Only in this beautiful dream can one be one's own master and control one's own life, therefore, I don't want to go back.
[Pera: Life is short, living happily is enough, why be obsessed with distinguishing between reality and illusion, dreams and reality?]
Pinocchio doesn't accept poor people; the high fees are generally unaffordable for most.
[Ring: Looks like being poor means even dreaming is a struggle!]
The robin sighed helplessly.
Sunday: "It seems that the guest's explanation just now did not satisfy you either."
Looking at her brother, she said, "No, what she said makes sense. I can also feel that she is truly happy from the bottom of her heart, but..."
Sunday understood, “You mean… she thought she had become the master of her life, but she was just abandoning reality and escaping into a dream. Once she lost her protection, she would instantly reveal her true colors.”
"Hmm. After all, she did mention the room rate... didn't she?"
Sunday shook his head: "But the paradise in our hearts... should not have an end."
The robin clutched its chest and turned to look at this dreamlike landscape: "The paradise in our hearts... shouldn't just be a fleeting dream."
Therefore, it is said that there is no happiness without suffering.
No pain, no gain. Be down-to-earth and find joy even in hardship.
Nicole: Suffering is suffering. We should change suffering to achieve happiness, instead of simply enduring it.
Wendy: No matter how wonderful a dream is, it can't escape reality. We will eventually wake up; there are no dreams that last forever.
The second person I met was a calm old man.
He was looking at the scenery.
In reality, however, he was fixed in the Dream Pool and survived by life support devices.
Because he was a soldier who had been to the battlefield, when he crawled out of the mothership in Sukwu, his head was stuffed with a radioactive metal lump.
My comrades are all gone, and my hometown was melted by neutron radiation bombardment; everything is gone. I heard there's a way to save people here, so I came here.
His family did help him, and now he is no different from an ordinary person in his dreams.
Being alive is a blessing; whether he dreams or not is irrelevant to him, and he has no choice in the matter.
His world was inherently incomplete; even if the dream was illusory, it was still paradise for him. Therefore, he cherished every moment here.
[Nasita: There are many people like this in reality, so dreams feel more like reality to them, and they bring them more happiness.]
Unfortunately, even dreams are not eternal.
[Zhong Li: Dreams can corrupt people, but they can also create value.]
The robin felt a mixture of sadness and joy. The old man's story was tragic, but thankfully, this beautiful dream left him with a happy memory for the rest of his life.
"That's the meaning of Pinocchio's dream," he laughed on Sunday.
The robin, however, was uneasy: "But dreams are ultimately limited. They are merely a haven for the disheartened, and cannot eradicate pain from the root of reality."
Sunday's eyes shone brightly. "There's always a way—Pinocconi is on the right track."
[Zhe: It seems like Brother Zhou is getting more and more optimistic about Pinocchio on Sunday.]
People don't want to wake up.
[Fufu: He's hoping the dream will become a paradise, a paradise for everyone. If everyone in Fontainebleau lives in such a dream before the prophecy arrives, then wouldn't they be less afraid of the Sea of Pregnancy?]
[Navilette: Impossible. Everything has a price. Please think rationally.]
Seeking the next guest.
A playful voice: "Look—who is this lovely young lady?"
The robin looked ahead in surprise: "Huh, is that...me?"
?: "Brother! What a coincidence, we meet again."
On Sunday, with his left hand on his hip, he said coldly, "Show your true form. Your tricks are useless against us."
After regaining its senses, the robin pondered, "I heard that a skilled liar, the Masked Fool, also received an invitation... Looks like it's you. Did you have fun?"
The scene shifts, and the robin transforms into fireworks.
Boring: "It's barely acceptable. The people here are too easy to fool. They'll take the bait if you give them a little something, but they'll run away as fast as they can when there's danger. Simply put, they're stupid, rich, and afraid of dying!"
[You despicable fool, you dare to play us for fools! Just you wait!]
[Hanabi: Oh, then I'll come find you to play...is that alright?]
[Better to die for your friend than for me. My dear Miss Fireworks, have fun! He's next to the shop that sells dream bubbles, hurry up or he'll run away.]
[Fireworks: Hehehe, this is kind of funny.]
[Bell: How come everyone seems to run into this Fool? What's she up to?!]
March 7th: Let's have some fun.
[I am joy, hahahahahaha, hahahaha!]
The robin cautioned, "Since you've had your fun, you'd better leave as soon as possible. A harmonious melody cannot tolerate discordant noises."
I think this background noise will definitely be, hahaha.
Hanabi feigned grievance: "What? Now that I'm back, I'm useless? I helped the family so much, it's truly disheartening." She turned and teased, "You should all thank me. If I hadn't cleaned up this mess… Pinocchio would be in complete chaos by now!"
On Sunday, his expression remained unchanged, but his tone was serious: "That was the Iris Clan Head's private request; it has nothing to do with us. Step down and stop causing trouble for the Harmonious Music Ceremony."
Why are you being so fierce?
Hanabi, hands on her hips, sullenly said, "The Harmonious Music Festival? Hmph, who are you trying to scare? Do you think I don't know what you're all up to?"
"As expected of the Fool, he changes his tune so quickly," he said mockingly.
"Leaving aside what you're thinking, Chicken Wing Boy, our lovely Miss Robin has probably decided not to go on stage now, right? After all, you've seen how ugly this dream has become under the operation of Tong Xie..."
"Pinocone, the land of dreams... Is this what the paradise you two siblings wanted to look like?"
On Sunday, he unusually lost control of his emotions: "...Shut up!"
[Zhe: The Fool knows too much. She knows everything we know and everything we don't know.]
[Rin: Exactly, it feels like Hanabi, like the director, pushes things forward at the right moment.]
Wendy: Hanabi is the most clear-headed person right now; she knows everything like an observer.
[Hanabi: Oh dear, I'm not that good. I just enjoy watching the fun.]
[Walter: I wonder if Miss Hanabi has any ideas about cooperation. Pinocchio is in grave danger...]
[Fireworks: Collaboration? ...That won't do, I still have my script to finish, haha...I'm really looking forward to your performance.]
Seeing how upset Hanabi was on Sunday, she couldn't help but laugh.
"Are you getting anxious, Chicken Wing Boy? Did I hit a sore spot?"
Chapter 79 For Paradise!
Robin: "Our agreement is none of your business, fool. Get out of here now, or don't blame the family for being impolite."
[Zhe: Gold dust truly lives up to its reputation as a protected resource; even on Sunday, it couldn't withstand the ridicule.]
Fireworks smiled and nodded, drawing out her words, "Okay, okay~ I'll go then. But, Miss Robin, I still advise you to think it over carefully—"
"Can people who live in a dream truly escape suffering and attain true happiness?"
The robin closed its eyes: "..."
[Hu Tao: That seems so. Even beautiful dreams are built on the bones of many; they'll all shatter sooner or later.]
[Ling Sha: False happiness has no future; true happiness must be created by oneself.]
I've really tried my best, but without talent and resources, I'll always be at the bottom. I really wish I could live in my dream forever.
Fireworks chuckled, "Hehe, I've done everything I needed to do. Now all I have to do is wait and watch the fireworks."
With a mix of joke and seriousness: "These are the last two gifts for you. If the Harmonious Music Festival still unfortunately takes place... please remember to use them at the performance, and don't lose them!"
"Bang—that's going to be exciting!"
After saying that, Hanabi left the scene and disappeared without a trace.
[Bluebird: She still hasn't forgotten about bombs. Not long ago, she recommended them to Sand Gold, and now she's recommended them to the Sunday siblings.]
【You've inherited the God of Fun's interests!】
Fireworks are so cute, whatever they do is right.
【fluorescent:……】
The brother and sister arrived at the empty square to wait for the dreamer to arrive.
The bell tolled three times, its sound echoing throughout the entire dream.
The robin looked at Sunday: "Brother, I heard you never touch sweets anymore. You used to fight me for dessert when we were little..."
"I feel like a lot of things have changed since I left. What exactly happened?"
Sunday looked forward to it: "Even in the midst of a beautiful dream, someone must always be awake."
[Star: He should see a psychologist, the professor said so.]
[Robin: Brother... what happened?]
[Yae no Miko: He has witnessed too many people and has deeply felt the good, evil, beauty, and ugliness of human nature.]
The robin said with concern, "But that person shouldn't be you, nor should it be any particular person. Brother, you're putting too much pressure on yourself." She lowered her head. "The paradise we promised... shouldn't be like this."
"Pinocone is just a dream. It cannot eliminate the troubles and pains of reality, or bring true happiness... All it can do is provide people with a place to escape reality, but that's all."
Sunday: "Do you remember that old man? If it weren't for that dream, he might have fallen into an abyss of no return."
The robin nodded: "Indeed... but even without Pinocchio, he might have led a different life. As far as I know, the Academy of Educational Sciences has been promoting relevant rehabilitation techniques for some time now."
This makes one wonder: "Did Pinocene give these people a future, or did it take it away from them?"
[Hugo: In the end, wasn't it their own choice to come? Pinocchio didn't force them to come in; they should bear the consequences of their own choices.]
Wendy: This is a cage with its exit open; inside lies a beautiful but false life.
Silver Wolf: Both siblings wish for people's happiness, but true perfection is unattainable.
With his right hand on his chest, Sunday said, "Before that, you need to know... not everyone can make it to the future."
“(Raises head) The future is to man as the sky is to birds. (Shakes head) The reason people mistakenly believe that flying is the nature of birds is because they have never seen birds that have fallen to their deaths.”
"Do you remember the playful pigeon we adopted when we were little? How did we treat it?"
Robin: "We carefully raised it in the cage, feeding it and changing its water every day. Later... when we decided to leave Pinocone, I opened the cage door and let it return to the sky."
The camera zooms out, showing the two people in a confrontational position.
Sunday whispered: "Worrying will make you sad, and I didn't mention it in the letter."
"Shortly after you left, it fell in front of your room window."
[Zhong Li: Clearly, Miss Robin's travels and experiences have made the people she meets stronger. Mr. Sunday listens in his dreams, witnessing too many pitiful weaklings struggling to survive.]
[Ambi: Therefore, the younger sister is more optimistic, while the older brother is more pessimistic.]
The robin said dejectedly, "...I guessed it. Otherwise, my brother would never have kept quiet about its whereabouts."
"Although the ending is regrettable, I still firmly believe that this choice was right. Birds do not hatch to spend their entire lives in a cage... Even if they are unable to fly, the sky is their home."
Sunday countered, "But that's the crux of the matter. If some fledglings never manage to fly in their entire lives, how can we assert that the sky is their destiny?"
Robin: "You mean... humans are the same?"
"You are not a fish, how can you know the joy of a fish!"
[Ring: Sunday was a bit of a display of individual heroism, even though the intention was good.]
