Chapter 325 The Chaotic Trial
Liu Ying, who appears to be a young girl but is actually a female demon, disguises herself as a pure and innocent girl being chased by lizards with the goal of finding her childhood sweetheart. She is "coincidentally" rescued by Qiong and others. As a group of five chivalrous people, they are naturally willing to escort this beautiful herb-gathering girl back to her hometown, but for some reason, she refuses to be escorted home no matter what.
However, despite the enthusiastic Hinadia and the responsible Helia's insistence on helping them to the end, the five of them still ended up going in circles several times with the ambiguous directions given by the firefly.
"This plot..."
Before Qiong could even complain, the scene changed again.
"Hey, we've been walking for most of the day."
Coralie's dead fish eyes were almost pressed against the face of the shifty-eyed Firefly.
"Why did you lie and pretend to be Miss Firefly, the herb-gathering girl?"
After Coralie pointed it out, the five people who vaguely sensed something was wrong began to question Liu Ying about her home situation. Finally, under everyone's relentless questioning, Liu Ying admitted that she was not a herb-gathering girl from the neighboring village at all, but a homeless wandering knight who had abandoned all her belongings and was running away because she had trypophobia and was afraid of swarms of lizards. She had just been looking for the place where she had spent the night, but it was empty—her supplies and equipment had probably been stolen by passersby.
The girl claims that she is a symbol of misfortune. Anyone who comes into contact with her suffers misfortune; her best friend lost his memory and left her; the villagers she once lived in all moved away; and a fire burned the deserted village to the ground overnight, leaving her no choice but to become a wanderer…
That's how Liuying's family situation is—at least that's what she claims about her family.
Clearly believing her and still worried, Hinadia insisted that Firefly stay. In the end, the five of them worked together to subdue the slightly stronger Firefly, stating that they could not split up until they found the person.
After that, because of the professional qualities that Firefly displayed that far exceeded the level of ordinary adventurers, she officially became the sixth member of the team.
Qiong: ...
This script feels a bit eerie...
--------------
In the trial grounds, three pairs of eyes observed the mirror together. While Nahera remained composed, the other two simultaneously began scratching their heads in frustration.
Lithost acted rashly due to a sudden turn of events, while Leiera...
There are too many flaws; I don't know where to begin.
First of all, the script is boring, and there aren't enough elements about Sinadia! These long and tedious stories fail to showcase Sinadia's true goodness and beauty; this Sinadia is more like a naturally innocent and simple ordinary pretty girl—although, this version of Sinadia is also quite wonderful…
She could never call Hinadia "Hina," and she would never omit Hinadia's name! Omission would be blasphemy! This "she" is such a blasphemy!
"Nahera, is this how you used to select knights?"
Leiera couldn't help but glare at her almost transparent old friend. This wasn't just anger; it was more about dissatisfaction with the characterization of Sinadia.
"Why does Sinadia have so little screen time? Her greatness isn't shown at all—"
"Little Reyela, I never expected Sinadia to show up..."
Lithost shrugged helplessly. He didn't want Leiera to encounter anything related to Sinadia again, but things didn't go as planned—how ironic that the gods had rejected all knights since Sinadia left, and yet Sinadia was trying to understand the knights he had his eye on.
Reflecting on this now, if we compare ourselves to parents, Hinadia is completely unqualified as a "mother." She is a loving mother, but loving mothers often spoil their children! Reira suffers from an extremely severe "Hinadia dependency syndrome." Apart from Reira, she can barely exchange a few words with anyone else. In terms of the growth cycle of a typical Loran, Reira's world is really small, consisting only of Hinadia, Nahera, and a few friends like Serapem.
If Hinadia had lived as long as him, it wouldn't have mattered. But she gave up immortality... No one could have foreseen that a benevolent flower could bear such a terrible fruit.
After losing her "mother," Leiera did not become independent and move forward. Instead, she became complacent and pursued eternity, even hoping to turn back time to find Sennadia...
Let's set aside Nahera, another "mother" whose sense of time seems to be perpetually absent. As for himself, this mentor also failed to play his due role. He lacked the ability to help the gods escape the shadow of Sinadia, and all attempts to influence the gods to get back on track failed. The shadow became increasingly out of control... If the situation continues to escalate, he may not be able to help the unrestrained gods resolve the situation.
Thinking of this, Litost breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he still had a way. However, if Qiong and Nian Gao didn't appear... then he could only try Bai Ji as a last resort.
"No, I have to intervene!"
Lithost: !
Lithost could hardly believe his ears.
“Leira, this is against the rules.”
Lithost tried to stop her, but only received a rebuttal from Leiera.
"The purpose of the trial is to select knights, right? Then why can't I, as a god, personally conduct the assessment?"
"Little Leiera, this won't do. Interfering arbitrarily will break the rules."
Nahra was unusually serious, but she noticed a pair of sharp eyes.
“I am God, therefore I am the rule! I think this trial is not good enough. I want to give Hinadia more screen time so that her greatness can be seen by him!”
"Leira, don't be impulsive!"
But Leiera was determined. She used her powers, and a shadow immediately seeped into the mirror.
--------------
Did you know that fireflies are like shooting stars, their beautiful light fleeting?
Under the starry night sky, the four had fallen into a deep sleep, with only Qiong and Liuying, who had changed into a JK sailor uniform from who-knows-where, keeping watch at night.
Qiong looked at the fireflies that were almost touching her body and couldn't help but shrink her neck.
The firefly in the Haruhi version didn't speak for the time being; she added a piece of firewood to the fire.
"Perhaps you've forgotten, but a little raccoon once told a firefly, who was born with a disability and wouldn't live more than three years, that he could find the 'Clock God' who controls time to save her. Perhaps you've forgotten, but the firefly and the little silver wolf were inseparable best friends..."
A hint of surprise flashed in Qiong's eyes: How come the quality of this script has visibly improved?
"But you would never guess that due to an accident, she made a deal with the previous Cat Demon King, Elio. By replacing the Demon King, she gained another ten years, or even immortality... But when she gained ten years of life and was able to leave the Demon King's castle and return to her hometown, her hometown had been destroyed, leaving only ruins. Her only two friends were also missing. The firefly, having lost her home, became the Demon King and extended her life. But with her home gone, the meaning of her existence also disappeared..."
Liu Ying stepped forward and took his hand.
"All she has are those beautiful memories with the raccoon, but her raccoon has completely forgotten! Her raccoon can go out and explore, defeating demon kings all over the world. But she can only stay in the demon king's castle, occasionally venturing out, slowly watching herself walk towards death..."
Without a doubt, this is the last of the four demon kings.
The androgynous mechanical voice disappeared, replaced by the cold voice of a dream seeker.
No matter how fiercely a flame ignites a flickering candle, it will eventually burn out. Regardless of who she is or what her past is, would you be willing to do anything to save her?
Qiong gazed at the fireflies, his heart filled with mixed emotions.
If we replace the hometown with Grammer and the Demon King's Castle with Sam, wouldn't that be the current state of True Firefly?
"I……"
What are you hesitating about?
Before Qiong could respond, a flash of light appeared, and the scene changed to a bed—he and Liuying were in the same bed and under the same blanket, while the other four were nowhere to be found…
Qiong was stunned for a moment, then immediately wrapped herself up in the blanket.
What if she were the one you loved most? Would you be willing to do anything to save her?
Qiong felt like she wanted to curse.
No, you—
[Little Leiera, this isn't how you guide someone through a trial! You're too impatient!]
Qiong looked bewildered upon hearing the suddenly appearing familiar voice.
"Who is Little Leiera? What exactly is this trial all about?"
Reira... isn't she the deity that Lithost mentioned?
--------------
I really want to keep updating, but cruel reality keeps crushing my noble character.
I revised the description at the end of Chapter 117 out of personal interest, since the original version was just the opening theme of an animated film produced by the Alliance Studios that told everyone to cherish life and save time...
As I write this, it suddenly occurred to me that, if we were to conduct a real-world analysis, the only SAMs I could find were various SAM anti-aircraft missiles from the former Soviet Union—the Grammer was incredibly powerful, and it was a republic without an empress, and it either died out or died from internal strife…
I feel that it probably drew some inspiration from that deceased Big Brother, right?
