The delphinium clasped her hands and looked at the sunset, which was not dazzling and weak.

For a moment, she was a little confused.

What is the purpose of living for man?

I just want to live like this...... Why do you have to do your best to stay alive?

Just investigating Russell's family left her with a lot of thoughts.

His father had already become a celebrity when other children were in school. His childhood was already magnificent. After that, he chose to commit suicide because he suffered high-intensity bullying for several years, and was rescued for plastic surgery...... At that time, it should be the Tower of Babel.

It can be said that neither of Russell's parents became mediocre. And Russell himself is the same, he is an extraordinary person.

But Delphinium always felt ...... That seems a bit pitiful.

This is too exciting, with ups and downs in life, it always seems that some force is pushing them to act.

The army of free-flying children, who has been hyped up by the newspapers for several years, is valued and accepted by the criminal organization Babel, who is wanted by the dragon, and takes the appointment of the elf director to become a goverstress for his daughter - the other side is the same. The murderous impulse, Miss Heartthrob, rescued the Elven Director in front of the Assassins, obtained the initial model of psionic armament, and went to teach another candidate for the Elven Director, convincing him to turn his back on his fate and choose the Tower of Babel......

There's so much to say.

But the disaster that the delphinch encountered was so ordinary. It can be summed up completely by just using the word "no money", and there is nothing else that can be used as a talking point.

— but she felt that the Russell family was far less happy than her own.

It's weird.

This world is supposed to be the richer the richer the happier. But Russell's family is rich, more powerful, more talented, and has connections...... This misfortune should not have befallen under any circumstances.

So, what is the root cause of their family's misfortune......

Delphinium thought a little confused.

She gently tossed the pan and skillfully turned the steak on the pan without using a spatula.

Because of some distraction, one side of the steak was already slightly burnt. But this is not the case, as some of the crispy crusts are just right to lock in the delicious gravy, and the rich aroma of the meat comes to the face. The delphinium's cheeks were warmed by the oil and reddened slightly. However, in the middle of winter, when the body is plagued by a curse called menstrual periods, the heat in front of the furnace makes her feel colder in the parts that are not coaxed by the heat.

She reached out, sighed, and rubbed her hands slightly. Start serving the steak on a plate.

Unlike Russell, I like to sprinkle garlic powder with barbecue sauce and pour hot oil over it.

If you eat it yourself, just sprinkle it with a little salt. Allow the steak to wake up a little, and when the difference between the surface temperature and the core temperature becomes smaller, the muscle fibers can lock in more moisture. Even if you cut the steak, there will be no juice coming out, and the texture of the meat will be further enhanced.

This is a little trick that can effectively improve your happiness.

Although in this day and age, the price of synthetic meat is already very cheap, there will always be people who cannot afford it.

When Delphinium was a child, there were very few opportunities to buy this high-quality synthetic meat. Every time you cook, you need to prepare carefully, and you should carefully check the differences between different brands and different models of synthetic meat. Every time she cooks, there is several times the preparation time, and the happiness she gets in the end always makes her smile.

And this sense of ritual is also a rare antidote in the boring and ordinary life, and it is also a silent resistance to my busy and repetitive life - even if I want to waste time, I want to vote it into the relaxation that makes me satisfied and happy, rather than the anxiety of work.

To this day, Delphinium has not been able to confirm whether the chairman has noticed her.

But she's done looking into everything she's going to investigate. Important information has been put in her personal space, and if something happens to her side, it can be sent to Russell on a regular basis.

She was in fear of looming death.

But at this moment, the only regret in her heart is surging...... She hadn't been able to marry Russell yet.

Specifically, what is the point of getting married or not? Anyway, everything that needs to be done has already been done.

The relationship between them will not change anything because of this.

However, it is the unique sense of ritual that Delphinium values is what it values. That sense of ritual can soothe the subtle anxiety in her heart...... It's not that I'm worried about whether Russell won't love him, but that I don't have enough inscription and foundation for this relationship and feel empty.

"Sun and Moon"

“…… Anxiety, with the inscription. ”

Delphinium muttered.

Her hand, which was holding a sharp knife and cutting a steak, suddenly stopped.

She seemed to get a little understood.

Why are the Russell family so outstanding, so powerful, so wealthy...... But it will still be the reason for "not being happy enough".

Because their purpose, what they want to do, is beyond the limits of what "wealth" and "talent" can reach.

It is true that they hold much more than ordinary people like themselves, and their purpose is higher, and the great things they want to achieve are just as difficult—they are also tormented by the calamity of "unwantedness".

What makes them miserable is the over-exuberant "hope" and "love" – if they can choose to go to the side of wanton action, and simply abandon the shell of morality and "should", then they will not feel pain.

- The young base of the delphinch, with a rainbow-like brilliance from light blue to deep purple, is constantly flowing.

Behind her, a huge flower demon appeared silently.

The delphinium was wrapped in thorns, and the pain of the thorns sting her skin allowed her to stay awake from this compassionate emotion.

Silently, her psionic power had gone further.

Level 8 Red Shift - Reached the same level as Russell and Bad Sun.

But the irony is that "lethal love" is not advanced because of feeling "love".

On the contrary, she felt the misery and sadness of fate.

Inexplicably, Delphinium remembered the huge statue of the chairman in Tian'en Park.

She has a beautiful face and a compassionate expression...... Until now, Delphinium and Russell agreed that that compassion was nothing more than crocodile tears, the character of an idol. A crispy sugar shell specially created to destroy - fragrant, sweet, fragile, false.

But now, the delphinium inexplicably felt some resonance from that face.

That compassion, perhaps, is serious.

"All living beings are suffering......"

Delphinium muttered to the words that her mother had said once and that she had memorized: "Bitterness of birth, old age, sickness, death, love and parting from suffering, resentment and bitterness, asking for hardship, five yin blazing bitterness......"

She suddenly had an impulse—a spirit-driven, irrational impulse.

She couldn't stay where she was, waiting for Russell's action and her companion's protection.

She can't always be a tool, a cog, a fragment, a visionary, a shadow...... She should also have her own innate mission. The awakening of psionic energy is proof of this.

- If you lift up your head and look directly at the stars. The satisfaction and happiness of the past will be far away from oneself, and who can say that "meaningless misfortune" is not another ritual to find one's true self?

She wanted to know what Russell was giving up for and what they were working for. Fight for your life for what...... Crying for what.

She wants to ask herself, can she be born ordinary and become that person one day?

This answer, she has to make it herself-

She tried to make a change with her own determination, her own desires.

It is not to become a vassal of others, nor to be a mediocre and nihilistic person, let alone a boring shadow.

She was going to meet the mysterious and dangerous chairman of the board of directors once.
