Just like that, the Gaul army of 70,000 set out on an expedition, but the battle ended in a dramatic way before it even left the country.

With the death of the King of Gaul, Tabatha naturally became the King of Gaul. In fact, the 70,000 troops almost immediately supported Tabatha to ascend the throne... Tabatha finally chose to accept it.

As for the red ponytail...

"You don't seem to have mentioned taking me away from here recently?"

Looking at the red ponytail sitting next to her and shaking her legs curiously, Josette asked. She still remembered that the red ponytail wanted to take her to find her family at the beginning, but she did not agree immediately at that time, and after that, the red ponytail never mentioned this topic again.

"Well, because I found that happiness varies from person to person."

Red Ponytail suddenly started talking about another topic, which surprised Yosette.

"You see, generally speaking, the public's ideas are very mainstream. For example, if a child is separated from his parents since childhood, he will definitely yearn to be reunited with his parents. After the two meet, they will definitely hug each other and cry bitterly, put aside their past grudges, and love each other..."

Having said that, Red Ponytail spread out her hands.

"But think about it carefully. If you have never lived with your parents since you can remember, then do you really have any feelings for your biological parents? Although literature says that blood ties cannot be severed, feelings are different for different people. For example, if you know you have a mother, what do you think? Are you excited? Are you excited? Do you want to meet her right away?"

“…”

Josette thought for a moment and shook her head.

"To be honest, I really... don't know how to put it, but ever since I was old enough to understand, Sister Sister has always been very kind to me..."

"See, this is the problem. If you are abused, you might still yearn for the warmth of your biological parents, but in other words, you just want someone to love you. If you are loved, isn't it normal to have no feelings for your biological parents? Although this goes against the wishes of the general public, this is the case for me."

"so what?"

"So... I think now that it's up to you to decide whether or not to leave. This monastery is indeed extremely boring, but isn't ordinary life like this? And you're used to it, right? But the outside world is different, especially with your identity. You're not an ordinary farm kid. If you leave here and return to your real family, you will inevitably face rumors, conspiracies, and slander. Some people will want to use you, some will want to hurt you, and some will want to threaten you."

Red Ponytail stretched lazily.

"By the way, your sister Tabatha... oh, no, it should be Charlotte who has decided to become the next king of Gaul."

"Is that so..."

Even after hearing what Red Ponytail said, Yosette still didn't feel anything real, but she could feel that the girl next to her was real.

"Would you like to meet them? Your mother and sister?"

"Xiaohong, what do you think?"

"I said, according to the normal values ​​of the general public, you should go to see them now, hug each other and cry, and become a family under the connection and inspiration of blood. But..."

At this point, Red Ponytail sighed, which was rare.

“The reality is not that easy.”

As she spoke, Red Ponytail raised her head. This reminded her of Fate and Precia. Indeed, according to common sense, the two sides should be closer after untying their knot. But in fact, although Alicia was resurrected and Precia tried hard to act like a mother, there was still a great awkwardness between Fate and her.

Precia even approached him several times, wanting Fang Zheng to raise Fate instead of her. Strictly speaking, whenever the two met, they were a little awkward with each other. Thanks to Alicia's presence, they were able to get along with each other, but if Alicia wasn't there... Fate and Precia would be a little speechless.

For Precia, she didn't take Fate seriously at first. In her opinion, Fate was just a prop to revive Alicia, so she never had a good impression of Fate. But the so-called blackening is fun for a while, and whitewashing is the crematorium. Now when Precia looks at Fate again, she is left with only guilt and full of remorse.

The same goes for Fate. She had always longed for Precia's love, but after Precia turned evil and told Fate the truth, Fate's fantasy was shattered. The gentle mother in her memory did not belong to her, but to Alicia. Precia had never been gentle to her because she was not Alicia...

No matter how well-behaved Fate is, she is still a child. If she can be so innocent, she is not a child, but a saint. So when she is with Precia, if Precia shows her gentle side, Fate will wonder if this is her mother's will? Or is she doing this to avoid making Alicia sad?

So in order to avoid each other, Precia basically buried herself in work, while Fate stayed in the Tendou Palace more under the pretext of studying, rather than returning to her own home in the magical girl world.

For both parties, it would be more comfortable to get along without meeting each other.

Only Alicia was worried, so she also found Fang Zheng, hoping that he could convince her mother and Fate to reconcile.

However, even an honest judge finds it difficult to judge family affairs.

Even if you become a god, household chores are the most annoying.

Josette never knew she had a mother and sister, and Tabatha didn't know she had a sister. Her mother never paid attention to Josette after handing her over to the convent...

Given the current situation, Red Ponytail always feels that if the three of them meet, the awkwardness will probably not be much better than that of Fate and Precia.

"So I leave it to you. After all, the public's social impression belongs to the public, while your own feelings belong to you."

Many times, the people who are moved to tears are not those who are involved, but the bystanders.

What needs to be considered at this time is whether to meet the needs of the public or one's own wishes.

For example, a couple accidentally lost their child. After that, they sold all their belongings, worked hard, and spent all their money. Finally one day, they found their lost child. The couple rushed to hug the child and cried loudly, and the bystanders also burst into tears when they thought of the efforts and sacrifices of the couple over the years.

But what about children?

Or even when he was held in his arms, he still looked confused, with an expression as if asking, "Who am I? Where am I? Who are these two people?"

After all, for that child, it wasn’t the two people in front of him who raised him since he could remember, it wasn’t the two people who took him to the hospital when he was sick, it wasn’t the two people who beat him when he failed the exam, and it wasn’t the two people who praised him when he did well in the exam…

No matter how much the other party has spent or sacrificed, he can never empathize with them.

Because everyone's self belongs to him or her.

And emotions are for the public.

It’s like a movie can make everyone in the theater cry, but the actors in the movie may have completely different thoughts and feelings.

“…I’ve made up my mind.”

Josette thought for a long time, then spoke.

"Please tell my mother and sister whom I have never met... I will pray for them here, but... it is better not to meet them."

"Have you decided?"

"Yes, I always feel that nothing good will happen if we meet."

Three people, three lives.

This is also normal.

"That's fine then."

Red Ponytail stood up and stretched.

"I will tell them. I think they will understand."

"So, Xiaohong, will you come to see me again in the future?"

"Of course, as long as I stay in this world for one more day, I will come and chat with you."

After saying this, Red Ponytail winked at Yosette, and then disappeared into the black night the next moment. Yosette stared blankly in the direction where Red Ponytail left, then sighed softly and turned to walk towards the monastery.

When Red Ponytail returned to the dormitory of the college, she found a petite figure sitting in the bedroom with her back to her.

"Where have you been?"

Louise asked in dissatisfaction, with her back to the red ponytail.

"I went to see Josette, um, Tabatha's sister, a good kid."

The red ponytail replied casually, but Louise snorted.

"But, but..."

"Um?"

"You should at least tell me. Do you know how worried I was when I woke up in the middle of the night and found you were gone? I am your master! You are the familiar I summoned. Shouldn't you tell me where you went?"

Oh oh oh, it has that flavor!

Listening to Louise's awkward words reminded Red Ponytail of the animation... Although she had only watched one episode, it seemed that Louise at that time behaved like this!

However, Red Ponytail also has her own way to deal with Louise.

"Okay, I'm sorry."

As she spoke, Red Ponytail rushed over and hugged Louise from behind.

"I'm sorry, my master. I made you worry. Come, pat my head..."

"Wait, why are you touching me like this? Do you treat me like a kitten or a puppy?"

"Is it not good? My lovely little kitty master? Hehehe, don't be grumpy. Come on, it's very cold at night. Go to sleep."

"Huh, you're always like this, do you think I'll fall for your trick? Ugh... Although it's a bit cold, don't hug me so tightly... I still have something to ask you."

"If you have anything to ask, why not wait until you lie down in bed? Come on, go to sleep."

“Uh… um…”

“…”

“Hoo…Hoo…”

Look, simple.

Looking at Louise who was sleeping soundly with her eyes closed in front of her, Red Ponytail snapped her fingers with a smile, then she touched Louise's head and closed her eyes.

At this moment, Louise, who was in a deep sleep, had long forgotten about asking Red Ponytail why she didn't turn herself into a magical girl.
