"Griseo, do you know why I don't help them directly?" Aponia suddenly spoke.
"Mother Aponia, are you saying, 'It is better to teach a man how to fish than to teach him how to fish'?"
Hollows Somewhere, Griseo looked at Zhehe Hoshimi Miyabi who had just gone through a test in the distance.
"Griseo, [Discipline] who interferes with Fate, is not a chain used to bind others. You have to remember, don't easily interfere with the direction of Fate just because you see tragedy or difficulties."
"Why?" Griseo asked.
"Because some nodes are critical turning points in a person's growth."
Aponia slowed down his speaking speed and spoke earnestly.
Griseo nodded thoughtfully. "So, Mother Aponia, what you mean is that just now it was a key node between brother Zhe and sister Hoshimi Miyabi."
"That's not the case, it's just that I saw in the 'future' that the two of them will get attached to each other, so we'd better not disturb them."
Griseo: "..."
"Griseo, you remember that everyone's Fate is not isolated, it is like a spider web that involves countless people.
If you change one person's node, it will change the trajectory of countless people. Sometimes you think you are doing a good thing, but in the end it leads to a greater tragedy."
"Then Mother Aponia, have you done this before?"
"I did. Every time I thought I was saving, but time eventually proved me wrong.
So with the power of Griseo, [Discipline], don't fiddle with the strings of Fate easily. You can watch, you can guard, you can light a lamp for the lost, but don't walk for them."
Watching Zhe and Hoshimi Miyabi walk away, Aponia followed slowly with Griseo. Since this child wanted to explore the last two powers of Signets, she took this opportunity to teach Griseo.
"But Mother Aponia, if that person is really in pain, can't I really help him?"
Aponia looked at her for a long time, and then she smiled.
"Of course, Griseo. What I said is my perception from my own position.
But you are different, you are my child.
If you feel you should reach out, then reach out. If you feel you should stop, then stop. Just do what you like, and 'we' will take care of it for you.
You are the girl of [The Stars], don't worry about the prisoner of Fate
This world is not beautiful, so beauty is the desire in people's hearts. When the stubborn darkness fills the long night, it may be waiting for a meteor to pierce itself."
"Mother Aponia, are you saying 'I am a shooting star'?"
"No, you are the one who is willing to look up at the sky after the meteors pass by."
For Aponia, Fate's loom weaving is an inevitable tragedy.
She was able to get a glimpse of it and tried to change it, but when she came back to her senses, she only had her hands bound by it like a rope.
She knew the end of mankind, but could not resist, so the pure white girl took the rope woven by Fate and turned it into what she liked.
She wore makeup and accepted her ending like every innocent and lovely girl.
She slept forever in the extreme cold of her trusted friend and returned to the stars.
So this time, for Griseo, Aponia taught her to knit Fate just like Elysia took over the rope.
Let Griseo weave the story he likes. As for the prisoner of Fate?
Let her support Griseo!
In Hollows, Zhe followed closely behind Hoshimi Miyabi, looking for an exit along the calculated route. Unknown to the two of them, they were being used as a 'live teaching material' by Aponia.
"Miss Ya, are you really okay?" Zhe looked at Hoshimi Miyabi and asked.
"Proxy, this is the third time you have asked." Hoshimi Miyabi did not look back, but his tone was not so cold.
After experiencing the incident where Demon Blade lost control and Zhe came to the rescue, her attitude towards the 'Proxy' beside her has undergone some subtle changes.
So, under the watchful eyes of Griseo and Aponia, the two performed a play - "Zhe San Plays the Melon Fox".
"Miss Ya, what is that strange Foxfire just now? It feels like a movie special effect. Does it really have no effect on the body?"
Zhe asked with concern, but his eyes were quietly observing Hoshimi Miyabi's reaction.
"I'm fine, don't worry."
"But the wounds on your body are still bleeding."
"I deliberately left the wound left by Ying-dono unhealed in order to understand the meaning of the sword."
"Then... why was your hair permed into curls by Foxfire?" Zhe raised his hand and touched his chin, looking like he was thinking seriously.
"This is Hoshimi Family's natural curls." Hoshimi Miyabi's ears moved slightly.
"But why didn't I see it when we first met?"
"It was cut off by Ying-dono."
"..."
Seeing Hoshimi Miyabi's sophistry, Zhe suddenly widened his eyes and raised his voice. "Miss Ya, be careful! Foxfire is on the blade again!!"
"What?!" Hoshimi Miyabi's fox ears straightened instantly, and he suddenly looked at Demon Blade at his waist - but everything was fine, Foxfire? No!
She raised her head and met Shang Zhe's eyes. He had an "innocent" look on his face and spread his hands to apologize.
"Proxy, this kind of joke is not funny." Hoshimi Miyabi's tone changed slightly, but then he still explained, "This is... a normal reaction."
"Sorry, Miss Ya, I just wanted to test you." Zhe apologized sincerely, and then changed the subject again, "... Hey, Foxfire! Appeared again!"
"Where!!!" Hoshimi Miyabi lowered his head again, the blade still calm.
"...Proxy." Her voice dropped half a degree.
"Sorry, Miss Ya, I still lied to you." Zhe stopped smiling and sounded serious.
"Miss Ya, you said that Hoshimi Family people will not make the same mistake three times. Now that you have made it three times, it means that the situation is actually very serious, right?"
Hoshimi Miyabi opened his mouth and wanted to refute, but he swallowed the words again.
A breeze blew past, ruffling the hem of her worn hunting clothes, making a subtle rustling sound.
"... You are right, my state is indeed wrong."
Hoshimi Miyabi stopped, turned to face Zhe, held Demon Blade at his waist with both hands, and explained.
"This knife carries the destiny of the Hoshimi Family. It is to accompany the successive heads of the family to punish rape and eliminate evil, but every generation of sword holders will eventually be swallowed by it..."
Zhe didn't speak, just listened quietly.
"Before carrying out this mission, my father had strengthened the seal of the scabbard for me. I don't know why I lost control."
In the distance, Griseo watched this scene quietly, and Aponia stayed by her side.
"Mother Aponia, you can solve the problem with that knife, right?"
"Yes! But I won't do that. Because in the near future, Miss Hoshimi Miyabi will face the fate that represents her family."
"Will she succeed?"
"Fate's arrangement, whether tragic or not, will leave enough light in the cracks of time to illuminate the way forward, so Griseo, if you want to know, go and witness it yourself!"
"Well, I understand. Mother Aponia."
"Go on, the time is coming soon, we will see you next time."
Aponia stood there, and the shadow gradually faded, turning into countless tiny blue light spots, and finally chased Griseo's figure like a butterfly.
Tomorrow's book friends--
Teacher: What are you doing?
Book friend: Teacher, are vacations and vacations equal? Are students and homework equal?
Teacher:???
Book friend: If a teacher is born into a miserable life, where should students find peace?
May Day, the triple-faced person, please listen to my question.
If you have homework during the May Day holiday,
Can crush students to death,
Who can judge them?
If students want to continue to survive,
No matter the cost,
who can treat them,
If you take a break,
It's really the foundation of the holiday,
Who spread it and took root in May Day?
Teacher: What did Jiligulu say? You didn't do your homework, right?
