As she answered, Nagashima Koki propped up her chin and said, "What do you think, Xiao Cui? Is it good or bad?"
Maybe only Koki could say something like that.
But sometimes, discussions of "good" and "bad" were quite interesting, and well worth considering philosophically.
When you were little, you thought everything in the world was either black or white.
Once you grew up, you started to realize that the world was neither black nor white, but an exquisite shade of gray.
And then, after reaching enlightenment...
The color of "gray" dissolved once more, and the world became sharply black and white again.
Just like flowers and leaves.
"Sometimes it's good, sometimes it's bad... That's all."
Xiao Cui gave that perfectly reasonable answer, and Nagashima Koki showed a thoughtful expression as she said—
"That's true. Whether the world is good or bad to someone depends on whether they encounter good things and good people."

Who knew when Nagashima Koki had become someone capable of saying such philosophical things?
Xiao Cui rather agreed with that statement, though.

Before Brother Cong Yu killed Nagashima Koji, Nagashima Koki had thought the world was pretty awful.

"So..."
As Xiao Cui spoke, she still did not understand what Nagashima Koki wanted
