Miss Witch Doesn't Want to be a Diva-Chapter 808 - 29: Beneath the Night Sky Illuminated by Fireworks

"Does having a Songstress Talent mean you will definitely become a Songstress, or does having a talent for never missing a shot mean you'll definitely step onto the battlefield?"

"The answer isn't necessarily." Ailu Kelu put down her glass and shook her head.

"Sometimes I'm curious, did Glide actually have the courage, or did she completely lack the will to fight."

"To reject and let go of the countless benefits that come with the identity of a Songstress, she must have had some strong belief and Bravery."

"But even with a Talent that many envy, she was still afraid to continue down that path and eventually gave up in despair; it's hard to believe Glide had courage and resilience."

"Most Songstresses, even those who have retired, have at least tried many things on the path of a Songstress before giving up when they see no Hope or can't advance further."

"But Glide was different, she showed tendencies to give up even before graduation."

"The emotions of a Songstress can Infection people, and I, being a Songstress, am not exempt."

"Because of Glide's abandonment, it impacted me, Jian Xin'er, and Luo Fenghua greatly; at the time, it also caused us much confusion and aimlessness," she said, slowly swirling her glass filled with the cool bubbly liquid.

"Songstresses come from all corners of society, and before awakening, no one knows they will end up on this path."

"Have you ever thought about why you became a Songstress?" said the cat-eared Songstress, suddenly changing her tone.

"Actually, many people end up on this path without realising it, thinking at first that being a Songstress must be much more exciting than being an ordinary person. Then, they gradually get used to the identity and slowly discover what they truly crave deep down."

"In reality, what a Songstress fears the most isn't suffering, but confusion because with confusion, any belief and emotion no longer stand firm. Everything feels like being a puppet, just following along with the circumstances."

"Uncertainty leads to hesitation, frequently changing ideas and stances, and eventually, no matter what decision you make, you will end up regretting it, which is quite terrifying," she shook her head.

"Glide once told me that she's a very decadent person, lacking enthusiasm for many things. Those lofty matters seem far away from her, hard for her to wholeheartedly pursue, yet she also felt that she couldn't completely deny them, so she was trapped in indecision."

"A Songstress in confusion can't touch people's hearts with her song, only making listeners feel more lost and bewildered, as if soulless."

"It's also because of this reason that she gradually sang less and less, and even at one point, there was a tendency for self-destruction."

"After several sessions of psychological therapy, she submitted an application to the Central Council, finally renouncing the title and identity of a Songstress and sealing her own Talent."

"Because she no longer had the Songstress's ability to influence others, she could sing sad, decadent songs with peace of mind to relieve her emotions, and her life gradually recovered."

After listening to Ailu Kelu's narration, various emotions arose in the hearts of those present: some felt regret, some sympathy, some worry, and some were unaffected.

"So where is Glide now?" someone asked curiously.

"I'm not sure about the specifics, but she's probably not in the Central Star Domain. The last time I contacted her online was at the beginning of the year; she told me she bought a second-hand hover-motorcycle, which makes her trips to the bar much easier every night."

After sharing the 'sparkling wine' story of Glide, Ailu Kelu blinked, seeming to sense that the atmosphere wasn't quite right.

"Ahem, let's all enjoy the dinner tonight, I just got a bit carried away, before I knew it I talked too much. Anyway, it's rare for us to get together, let's stay happy~"

She then made an effort to lift the spirits again, talking about the seafood feast she had specially prepared, and then discussing the must-visit restaurants and their culinary delights around the Academy.

"There's a 'Summer Windmill' restaurant near Center District 2, which is quite unique. Although it's indoors, there's a whole layer of square meters that are wheat fields, with the dining area inside the windmill, and the dome always has such warm Sunshine and wind; it's a beautiful and relaxing view, and their wheat bread is a favorite signature dish among customers."

"There are also other restaurants with special styles like 'Gate Crab,' 'Dragon Flame Roast,' 'Nectar's Kiss,' and so on, which are also great experiences."

Discussing these places, the curiosity of the several young Songstresses was sparked once again, and the conversation slowly shifted to their own tastes and preferences.

"I prefer meat and vegetables," said Blanchi about her preferences.

"I like tofu," Audrey raised a finger.

"Probably barbecue," Prin thought for a moment.

"Fish or various soups?" Shui Yanqing pondered with her chin in her hand.

"Cold and sweet cakes," Ores stated with certainty.

"Ah, as for me, fish or fruit," Tilan answered as several people looked at her.

"Haha, looks like our water faction has a great victory," Ailu Kelu came up next to Tilan and wrapped her and Shui Yanqing in a hug, showing her agreement.

As the laughter and banter continued, the dinner gradually came to an end, and they moved on to the observatory under the dome to admire the moonlight. The seven of them took off their shoes and lay on the spread-out mats.

The dome magnified the night sky after filtering it, looking up from below was like standing on a distant mountain peak, absent of other light pollution, gazing up at the Milky Way's starry sand, it was truly beautiful.

"The Milky Way is vast," whispered Audrey in awe.

"Yes, vast indeed," Shui Yanqing looked at the starry sand with a fixed gaze, slightly entranced.
