Red Death: "Thank you, I like it very much."
Kuroshitsuji: "Huh? I have one too? After all, I haven't talked to you much... Heh, it's pretty nice."
Diya: "White Queen, let's forget about it this time. After all, we didn't tell her in advance."
"Yes, yes." Liz nodded vigorously. "It's all because of the shopping channel. There are so many good things. Either I got a limited-time discount, or today is a special sale day, or there will be a small gift... Sister Bai, I really didn't mean it."
Seeing Liz's pitiful appearance, the White Queen sighed, "Just spoil her! If something goes wrong, we will be the ones to cover it."
"I'm used to it." Black Butler said, "Aren't we always the ones who cover up when Diya gets into trouble? Driving one sheep is the same as driving two sheep. There's no difference."
Red Death: "We are experienced and we are dedicated."
"Why do you bring this up with me?" Diya was not convinced: "I have rarely bothered you recently!"
Black Butler sneered, "Really? Then who was the one that was left behind by the Viewer for psychological counseling last night?"
Liz blinked, "What happened between you and the viewer?"
"Nothing." The White Queen replied quickly: "Lis, forget about your own decision this time. After all, we didn't explain to you the importance of this money. Ignorance is not a crime..."
"Sister Bai, I know I was wrong!"
The White Queen said, "I don't want you to admit your mistake, but I hope you can think about things with your sister. Now we are forced to obey An Nan's orders and our personal freedom is restricted. The 10,000 copper coins are our most easily liquid assets. We could have used them to do more things... such as giving gifts to others. You did a good job in this regard, Liz."
"But this is not how gifts are given. Gift giving consists of two parts: the 'gift' and the 'giving'. The giving part is as important as the gift itself. For example, you gave everyone gifts this time. Although it looks good, there are many problems when you look closely."
"For example, when everyone sees each other's gifts, they will compare them, and the comparison will lead to the difference in value, and the difference in value will determine the closeness. People like Igula will definitely check the prices of each gift in private. As long as his gift is not the most valuable, his good impression of you will return to the starting point; if his gift is the least valuable, he will even hate you."
Diya was also surprised: "Is there such a thing?"
"But Igula doesn't have a bracelet that connects to the curtain, so you don't have to worry about it for now." The White Queen said, "Besides that, giving gifts to everyone is definitely not as effective as giving gifts to one person alone. If you give Ash a gift alone, he will be 10 points happy. If you give gifts to everyone now, he will only be 3 points happy, even if the gifts are very much to his liking."
"Why?" Liz didn't understand: "Aren't they all the same?"
"If Ash made you a red velvet cake, would you be happy?"
"meeting!"
"But when you were ready to eat, he divided the cake into five pieces and gave them to others. Would you still be so happy?"
"Hmm..." Liz thought hard, "But I think I can eat half of the cake... and isn't the red velvet cake made especially for me?"
"Liz is very smart. She grasped the key point so quickly." The White Queen praised: "'Specially for me' is the key to gift giving. Just like a cake that is to be shared with everyone, Liz, you won't feel that it is specially made for you, so naturally you won't be that happy."
"It's the same when you give gifts. If everyone has one, they will think that their gift might have been given by Liz casually. Only when you give it privately can they feel that they are valued."
Liz nodded thoughtfully: "Sister Bai, what you said makes sense... Then when I give gifts to them in the future, I will lie to them and say, "This gift is only for you. No one else has it. I spent a lot of time picking it especially for you. Don't tell others, otherwise I will be shy."
Black Butler: "This little witch's bitchy way of thinking unexpectedly matches my own. Shiro, how about I teach her a lesson instead?"
White Queen: "Hei, don't make trouble. You alone are enough to annoy me. Liz, I won't say more. I just want to tell you that the wisdom of the sisters can help you, and the sisters will not refuse your proposal. If you want to buy a gift, we will agree, and we will discuss with you what gift is better to buy and when to give it out."
"Little witch, now you are Liz. Most of the time we will not hinder your actions, but you cannot act privately while we are all in the virtual world."
"To be honest, I am very sad. I am not sad because you are naughty, but I am sad that I failed to gain your trust."
"No!" Liz shook her head quickly: "I didn't -"
"You bought the things before we came back, and you didn't tell us until the courier arrived."
The White Queen said calmly, "You obviously don't trust us and think we will cancel the order, so you want to wait until the dust settles before telling us and force us to accept this result, right?"
"I, I'm not..."
"You don't want to hide it from us? You don't want to force us to accept the result? You don't trust your sisters? Your actions don't show any of this."
"You still want to make excuses after all this."
"Sister hates bad kids who make excuses the most."
despair.
Liz turned her face downwards and didn't look at the mirror. Big tears fell on the back of her hands. Her shoulders trembled slightly and her nose twitched.
(Wow.) Black Butler: (Such a familiar scene. I remember that Diya was also scolded and cried like this.)
Diya: (I have never been scolded and cried by the White Queen!)
The Red Death suddenly jumped out: (Hey? Who was the one who was scolded so much that he wanted to hug me and cry?)
Diya: (It’s not me anyway!)
Black Butler: (In that case, Diya still has a lot of meaning. It is because of Diya's practice that Shiro is so good at teaching children.)
Diya: (Aren’t we all 15 years old forever? We are not children at all!)
Black Butler: (Our average age is 15, but Xiao Hong should be 12, I am a normal 15, and Bai is as mature as a 28-year-old, so we can conclude that your age is about...)
"I, I."
Liz was choking with tears. She rubbed her eyes, and the more she rubbed, the more tears came. She choked and said, "I'm just afraid of being scolded by my sister... I dare not tell you... I don't disbelieve my sister, I'm really not a bad kid... Sisters, please don't hate me..."
Feeling that the time was right, the White Queen also slowed down her tone: "Of course I won't hate you. No matter what happens, we will always love you."
"So, next time something like this happens and we're not around, do you know what to do, Liz?"
Liz sniffed: "Let's talk about it when my sisters come back."
"What if it's an urgent matter that needs to be decided immediately?"
"Then make a decision first and I'll tell you as soon as my sisters come back."
"This is how our good sister should be." The White Queen smiled and said, "I forgive you this time. What about you?"
Diya: "You asking Ash to apologize to me is already the best gift, I am very satisfied."
Black Butler: "I love seeing my sister cry. If I choose to forgive her, it will only encourage her arrogance. The next time she makes a mistake, she will be scolded and cry again."
Liz wiped her tears and said loudly, "I won't do it again!"
Red Death: "Ignore her. The butler always speaks harshly. But she just kept asking the queen to plead for you."
Black Butler: "I meant for Shiro not to stop..."
"But," Diya asked, "besides the gifts given to us, there are still many things left. What are they?"
"I bought this gift for myself!" Liz opened her red eyes and laughed, "I always keep the best gifts for myself!"
After a brief silence, the White Queen said helplessly: "Also, when you give a gift, don't let the other person know that you bought a better gift for yourself."
"Why?"
"Because even your sisters will hate you for this!"
