Miss Witch doesn't want to be a diva

"If you have the talent of being a singer, will you definitely become a singer? Or, if you have the talent of being able to hit the target with perfect accuracy, will you definitely go on the battlefield?"

"The answer is not necessarily." Elukelu put down the cup and shook her head.

"Sometimes I am also curious, does Grid-senpai have courage, or does she have no fighting spirit?"

"Faced with the countless benefits brought by her status as a singer, she can refuse and give up. This must be some kind of strong belief and bravery."

"But even though she had a talent that was envied by countless people, she still didn't dare to continue walking on this path, and finally gave up on herself. This makes it difficult for people to think that Senior Grid is brave and strong."

"The vast majority of singers, even those who are currently retired, have at least tried many times on the road of being singers. In the end, they saw no hope, or it was always difficult to go further, so they chose to give up."

"But Grid-senpai is different. Even before she graduates, she has a tendency to give up."

"The emotions of a singer are contagious, even if I am also a singer."

"Because Senior Grid gave up, it was a big blow to me, Jian Xiner, and Luo Fenghua. It also made us confused and hesitant for a long time." As she spoke, she slowly shook the glass of wine with cool bubbles. liquid.

"Singing girls come from all corners of society. Before they wake up, no one knows that they will embark on this path in the future."

"Have you ever thought about why you became a singer?" The cat-eared singer suddenly changed her voice.

"Actually, many people embark on this path unknowingly. At first, they just think that being a singer must be much more exciting than ordinary people. Then they gradually get used to this identity, and then they slowly discover the true desire in their hearts."

"Actually, as a singer, what you fear most is not pain, but confusion. Because of confusion, any beliefs and emotions are no longer firm. Everything you do is like a puppet on strings, just following the surrounding environment."

"Not being firm brings hesitation, often changing ideas and positions. In the end, no matter what decision you make, you will regret it. This is very scary." She shook her head.

"Senior Grid once told me that she is a very decadent person who is not interested in many things. Those noble things are far away from her. It is difficult for her to run towards these ideals from the bottom of her heart. But if she is to fully Even if she denied it, she thought it couldn’t be done, so she was stuck in wandering.”

"The heartfelt voice of a confused singer will not only fail to move people, but will only make the audience even more confused and confused, as if they have lost their souls."

"It was also for this reason that she later sang less and less frequently, and she even had a tendency to self-destruct."

"After several psychological treatments, she submitted an application to the Central Council and finally gave up her title and identity as a singer, and closed off her talent."

"Because she no longer has the infectious ability of a singer, she can sing some sad and decadent songs to relieve her emotions, and then her life gradually recovers."

After listening to Elukelu's story, several people present felt various emotions in their hearts, some were regretful, some were sympathetic, some were worried, and some were completely calm.

"Then where is Senior Grid now?" someone asked curiously.

"I don't know the details, but she shouldn't be in the Central Star Territory. The last time I contacted her online was at the beginning of the year. She said she bought a second-hand hover motorcycle, which would make it much more convenient to go to the bar every night."

After telling the story about 'Sparkling Wine' Grid-senpai, Eluke blinked and seemed to feel that the atmosphere was not right.

"Ahem, let's have a nice dinner tonight. I was just too arrogant and talked too much without realizing it. Anyway, it's rare to get together today, so it's better to have fun~"

Afterwards, she worked hard to stir up the atmosphere, introducing the seafood dinner she specially prepared, and then commented on the must-go restaurants and food around the academy.

"There is a 'Summer Windmill' restaurant close to the 2nd district of the center. This restaurant is very unique. Although it is indoors, the entire floor of several square meters is covered with wheat fields. The only place to eat is in the windmill, on the dome. There is always warm sunshine and wind, the scenery is beautiful and relaxing, and the wheat-flavored bread inside is a signature dish that guests love."

"Others include 'Gategate Crab', 'Dragon Flame BBQ', 'Nectar Kiss' and other restaurants with special styles. It would be great to experience them."

Talking about these places, the curiosity of several girl singers was once again aroused, and then the conversation slowly turned to their respective tastes and hobbies.

"I prefer eating meat and vegetables." Blanche said of her hobbies.

"I like tofu." Odney held up her finger.

"Probably a barbecue." Pulin thought for a moment.

"Fish or various soups?" Shui Yanqing thought while tapping her chin.

"Cold and sweet cake." Ores said affirmatively.

"Oh, me, fish or fruit." Tilan saw several people looking at her and then replied.

"Haha, it seems that our parallel import party has won a great victory." Elukelu came to Tilan and hugged her and Shui Yanqing in agreement.

As several people chatted and laughed, the dinner gradually came to an end. Finally, they went to the observatory on the dome to enjoy the moonlight. The seven of them took off their shoes and lay on the mats.

The dome filters and magnifies the scenery of the night sky. Looking down, it is like standing on a distant mountain top, filtering out the pollution from other light sources. Looking up at the Milky Way stars and sand in the sky is very beautiful.

"The Milky Way is huge." Odney sighed softly.

"Well, it's very, very big." Shui Yanqing stared at the Ganges star sand in the sky, a little lost in thought.

"It is said that in the Milky Way, only a very small number of habitable galaxies have civilized activities, and most other galaxies are extremely deserted."

"Sometimes I dare not look at this galaxy, because if I look at it too much, I will feel that I am too small, so small that everything I do will be in vain."

"Don't give up. You don't really want to change the world when you do these things."

"Actually, I learned very early on that the world cannot be changed. The only thing that can be changed is this small episode of what I have experienced."

“That’s good, too, because this little slice is our world.”

After that, the small observatory became quiet. Some people were still staring at the stars in the distance, while others closed their eyes. Slowly, some fell asleep.

Orlais turned her eyes to look at Tilan who was sleeping next to her, and saw that her breathing was slowly and steadily, and she seemed to be completely asleep.

Are you so defenseless, she thought to herself, then she moved her head slightly closer and took a closer look at the sleeping Tilan, then gently leaned their heads together and closed her eyes as well.

On the other side of the mat, Eluke leaned sideways and secretly played a small game on her personal terminal. Blanche looked at the starry sky above her head and gradually fell asleep.

Odney and Pulin talked quietly and occasionally gestured, probably discussing the gains and losses in the previous star cluster confrontations.

Shui Yanqing was very awake and did not sleep. She first raised her body and looked around at the other singers, then lay down again and closed her eyes to rest.

In this way, in the early morning, when the moon passed the observation angle of the observatory, the few singers present returned and left sporadically.

The next day, Tilan went through normal classes during the day, and also attended the "Siye Jing Stationed in the Central Star Territory Mutual Aid Association" party in the evening.

The members at the party were all from the Four-leaf Crystal Star Territory, some of them were students, and some were business people who made a living in the Central Star Territory.

During this period, Tilan attended the small meeting, then said goodbye and left.

After this day, it was Thursday. It was rare that there were no plans for this night, so Tilan had a good sleep and rest at home.

Then came Friday. Even before get out of class ended on this day, she could feel that the atmosphere in the school was much lighter.

"Because it's the Autumn Moon Lantern Festival." Oreis and Tilan walked in the corridor of the campus building, looking at the students passing by outside.

"The one on campus is just a simple celebration. To really watch the Autumn Moon Lantern Festival performance, you have to go to the commercial street in the central area. There are many big companies sponsoring and promoting activities there, so many celebrities and performance teams will be invited. "

"Tilan, do you have time to go together tomorrow?" She invited.

"It's okay tomorrow." The girl nodded slightly.

Seeing that she agreed, Olesi felt much lighter. Then she walked to the branching road, waved goodbye to Tilan, and then entered the branching road where her mansion was.

Back at her residence, Tilan first changed into a set of clothes that were convenient for traveling. The upper body was probably a simple and slim-fitting shirt, with a dark red ribbon on the collar, a little white lace on the sleeves, and a skirt with the same color as the ribbon on the lower body. Just below the knee, neither long nor short, the dark red skirt is dotted with white rose patterns, giving it a simple and gorgeous look.

Tonight is the time she promised to have dinner with Yilin. It has been a month since the two of them came to the Central Star Territory, and this is the first time they have dinner together.

"Where are you, Tilan?" Yilin's familiar voice came from the personal terminal.

"Next to the platform of the swordtail pine in area 1 of the center." Tilan raised her head and looked at the brightly lit platform opposite. There were lanterns of different sizes inside, and occasionally red ribbons could be seen fluttering.

"Wait a moment, I'll be there soon."

Leaning on the guardrail outside the platform, Tilan looked up at the sky, her long flaxen gray hair flowing down, feeling indescribably smooth and comfortable.

The body is slightly bent, and the fingers are clasped on the guardrail. There is a bit of freedom in the figure, which occasionally makes passersby stare blankly and turn around.

Five minutes later, a supersonic train stopped at the station, and then many pedestrians walked out, including a woman with chestnut hair.

As soon as she walked out of the platform, Yilin saw Tilan leaning against the guardrail, and then walked over with a smile.

"Let's go together."

Then the two of them walked towards the bustling commercial street full of tourists.

The traces of time passed by inadvertently. Compared with the time when the two went to the botanical garden four years ago, Yilin is more mature now. She has permed and dyed wavy chestnut hair, a pearl bracelet on her wrist, and the bag she carries with her also highlights her personality. That generous and fashionable temperament.

Next to her, she looked younger, but unlike four years ago, Tilan seemed a little more free and easy tonight, and some of the details of her movements no longer felt as timid as in the past.

After visiting several shops, the two walked out again. Yilin talked about the clothes and interesting things they just saw.

"Speaking of it, Tilan has really changed a lot." She finally noticed this subtle change.

"Huh?" Tilan turned her head, slightly puzzled.

"It's nothing. It's just the feeling that the little Tilan we met together has finally grown up. Well, although she's not as confused and cute as before, she still has a new kind of beauty."

"Is it so obvious?" Tilan clasped her fingers together, recalling her changes after coming to the Central Star Territory.

"I do seem to be much more relaxed than before." She stroked her hair beside her ear.

"High school is very stressful. As you will know later, Edes Academy and St. Ingo were having a fierce battle at that time."

"At that time, I had to rely on school for a lot of things, and I also had a lot of unknown worries about the future. As for my temperament, I was a little cautious and sometimes quite restrained."

"What about now, you know, when I walked out of the platform, I saw you leaning against the guardrail, and I almost didn't recognize you." Yilin covered her mouth and smiled softly.

"Now, do you know the word disenchantment?" Tilan replied.

"In the past, I had a lot of imagination about the Central Star Territory, and as an ordinary person, I felt awe and fear for the upper echelons of the Federation."

"However, after I came to the university, I gradually became aware of the real situation in the Central Star Territory. In other words, the hazy veil was completely lifted. At the same time, various courses and activities at school allowed me to gradually see clearly the true power structure and power of the Federation. status quo."

“The more you know, the less you fear, that’s about it.”

"When you know everything, you will no longer be so inexplicably afraid and worried." Tilan shook his head slightly.

"I think that sometimes psychological problems do not necessarily need to be treated with psychological methods. Perhaps truly experiencing and understanding reality can untie a lot of knots and irregular anxieties."

"That's amazing, Tilan." Yilin looked at her friend next to her with joy and admiration.

"You know, when you were analyzing and explaining to me seriously, you exuded a confident and sincere aura, with a charm that I have never seen before."

"So open and powerful."

"Haha, although it's a bit exaggerated, I'm really surprised and happy." After saying that, she turned her head again and looked at the red floating fish-like lantern at the end of the street.

"It turns out that people really can change." After saying that, she closed her eyes, and then slowly opened them again.

"From the distant Four-leaf Crystal, a small underground city in the emerald skirt, to the bustling metropolis of the Central Star Territory, it really feels like time has flown by and the world has changed."

"Can we still be friends together in the future, Tilan?" she asked suddenly.

"Of course, why do you ask this suddenly?"

"Because I'm afraid I won't be able to catch up with you one day." Yilin answered seriously.

"Now you don't have to rely on me anymore." She said with a hint of disappointment in her heart.

"Although I no longer rely on you, I still need you, Yilin." Tilan held Yilin's hand and walked under the night sky with fireworks rising.

"I still remember the Yilin who came to me to play with a bunch of candies in the afternoon after school. The Yilin who stood up and defended me. The Yilin who everyone regarded as mature and generous."

"That is part of my past memory, a part that cannot be forgotten or discarded."
