Hearing Avne's question, the girl thought for a few seconds to answer.

"At least it's not annoying, but there's some curiosity and a liking for the art style, Avne."

"When I was a child, I liked it, and I collected a lot of similar poetry picture books at that time." She came to Tilan's side and sat down with her skirt pulled up.

"And then?" Ti Lan felt that there seemed to be a little regret and loss in her words.

"Later, when I grew up, my parents gradually stopped me from watching this kind of thing, and they wanted me to go out and socialize more and make good use of my strengths." With her chin resting lightly on her knees, she wraps her hands around her legs.

"Fairy tale books are for little children, you've grown up, don't get addicted to these things anymore, that's what they said to me then."

"After listening to it, I felt ashamed at the time, so I tried my best not to see or touch anything like it again." Avne's eyes slowly closed and then opened again.

"Because I inherited my mother's beautiful figure and better looks, I practiced dance very well at that time, and I was often praised by my teachers, as well as my family and people around me."

"Of course, children like this kind of compliment, so I practice more and more, and my strength is getting higher and higher, and many difficult movements can be easily done."

"Doesn't that seem like a good deal?" The girl turned her head to look at Avne.

"Yes, but the praise will slowly get tired, and then I also became a little rebellious, and I don't want to be a girl who just dances well."

"Mother is a very beautiful beauty, it is said that when she was young, she was also a star sought after by many people, and her father was ordinary, with a somewhat fat figure, and he usually spoke softly, and rarely smiled.

"I didn't understand it before, but then I gradually understood that this is also a matter of course, my father is a high-ranking official in charge of important departments in the star field, and many enterprise groups outside have to please him, so he naturally doesn't have to be approachable, and even being cold and hard can avoid many cheeky people from asking for benefits, and although my mother is beautiful, a beauty like her is not scarce in the entire star field."

"It's not okay to only be able to dance, even if my mother is young and a famous star, she has to please others, I don't like to use my looks and dancing to please others, because this is to seek some kind of 'reward' from others and I have no initiative, and it is also very unstable, and others can easily take back this kind of love and gift."

"So, I've started to turn my energies back to learning the transcendent sequence, which is the most direct and tangible way to have power."

"My parents found the best teacher for me, and because my talent was related to 'fire', I contacted the 'Red-clothed Reaper Sect' in the alien realm, they are a well-known transcendent faction that specializes in this way."

"In the early stage, I made rapid progress, and my strength far surpassed that of my peers, which almost became a topic of conversation in the circle around me, there were always people who paid attention to my words and deeds, and many peers were urged by their parents to have a good relationship with me."

"I don't have to bother to become friends with a lot of people, and they will constantly invite me to parties, events, tours, games, etc., in order to deepen this 'friendship'."

"This kind of mind, in fact, is easy to see, and after a lot of experience, not to mention gagging, it also feels very distorted and contrived, so I began to put away my usual easy-to-talk and soft appearance, and became arrogant, and even mercilessly rejected and expressed disgusted comments, because if you have a slightly softer attitude, those people will come up." Avne slowly confided in her heart, perhaps because she had learned more about the dark-haired girl next to her during this time, so that she could relax and talk about the past she had hidden in her heart.

"Some things are done too much, it seems that they will be internalized into a real character, and before I know it, I am used to this, and I have even become a typical girl in everyone's mouth because of her good family background, who is extraordinarily arrogant, looks down on ordinary people, and is not easy to approach."

After saying this, she sighed, who doesn't want to be popular and loved by everyone, but in order to avoid some troubles, she can only do this.

"Gradually, I have fewer and fewer friends, because I always refuse their invitations, and the focus of my life is gradually biased towards the practice of transcendent sequences, and this is a completely new field, and the knowledge of dance, music, social interaction, etiquette, etc., which I have learned in the past, has made rapid progress in the accumulation of magic power in the early stage, but when it is my turn to test theory and understanding, to construct imprint formulas, and to complement each other into the transcendent core of a complete system, the shortcomings are slowly exposed."

"So, in the stage of Sequence 3 to Sequence 4, I was stuck for a long time, and my mentality during this period slowly changed from stable to anxious, and even to the final imbalance."

"Because I stayed in place for a long time, there was no progress, and my mind gradually became confused, and I even began to imagine how I would live if I couldn't meet everyone's expectations and became a mediocre person, can I really only be a dancing and beautiful vase, and rely on my father's shadow to be a big lady who everyone praises on the surface but laughs at in private."

"The more I think like this, the more scared I become, the more anxious I become, the more I can't stabilize my emotions and minds, and the more difficult it is to advance, almost becoming a vicious circle."

"During the holidays, when I locked myself in the house and lay on the floor doing nothing, I turned out the picture books of poems that I had put away when I was a child."

"I have to say that the world of children is simple and beautiful."

"A gorgeous and colorful still picture, with a little text, can outline a beautiful world in the imagination, adults because of the experience and see too much, but because of the existing cognition and concept, it is difficult to let go of the hands and feet and mind to imagine such a distant and beautiful story."

"Looking back at the picture books when I was a child, slowly, my mind also quieted down, and then I read all the poems and picture books that I used to collect at home, and my mentality finally recovered a lot, probably because of those brilliant colors and moving stories, so that I have some hopes and fantasies about life."

"Later, after coming to the school, I received a notice from the club, knowing that Ti Lan wanted to start an experience, and I was also trying to change my mood and thinking at that time, so I joined in."

"Fate is so wonderful, the road that has been blocked before, with the opening of the horizon in the experience, the change of mentality, slowly loosened, especially the explanation and demonstration that Ti Lan gave me, it let me open a new door."

"I love poems and picture books like this, just like fairy tales, although adults say that such stories are naïve, I still like this kind of simple and brilliant color, which makes people reverie and look forward to it."

"If I can, I also hope that Tilan is as beautiful and lovely as the fairy tales in the picture book, and will always maintain her kind heart and gentle appearance."

"Thank you." The girl replied a little embarrassed, feeling that she was not as perfect as the characters in fairy tales.

"But reality isn't a fairy tale......" she murmured softly.

"But I'm still going to work hard, trying to bring you a fairytale happy ending."
