Chapter 314 Good Things and the Darkness Within
The young lady responded nonchalantly. “Everyone is dressing like this today, and I’m not the only one.”
With that, she turned around and walked away, expressing her frustration to her friend. “It’s truly absurd,” she complained. “There’s such a variety of people here. I should have the freedom to dress as I please and wear what I like without anyone else minding. It’s a shame that people can be so judgmental about others‘ clothing choices.”
Her friend agreed, ‘Absolutely. I’ve encountered many narrow–minded individuals like that before who fail to grasp our hobbies. But to think that even a child would be like this… it’s truly saddening. It’s unfortunate that she’s been influenced by adults in such a way. Oh well…”
Their complaints gradually dissipated as they moved on.
Lilly, refusing to accept the situation, exclaimed with determination, “But this is the Olivine Temple, the place where Olivine the Great and the soldiers fought bravely in the past!”
The passer–by paused, surprised by Lilly’s outburst, and exchanged puzzled glances with the two girls.
The two girls blushed and expressed their frustration, saying, “Please don’t let morality control us, alright? Today is the Summer Doll Exhibition, and we’re all here based on our hobbies. It’s just a matter of personal preference within our small circle. Why should it be elevated to such a moral level?!”
Another person chimed in, saying, “Wearing what you like doesn’t violate any laws. Today, everyone is dressed in the clothes they enjoy. It’s fine if you don’t like it, but can you respect different cultures and choices?”
The crowd around them began to speak up, with many voices supporting the individuals in their community.
“Liking something is not a sin! Everyone should have the freedom to pursue their own preferences!”
“Please refrain from imposing your rigid beliefs on us. Don’t try to control us with your narrow–minded!
thinking!”
The young people in various costumes were taken aback by Anthony’s words.
Anthony continued in a firm tone, “Respecting different cultures and expressing oneself through fashion is important, but we should also be mindful of the significance and history of certain places. This is Olivine Temple Square, a place where heroes sacrificed their lives for the city’s protection. It is a matter of respect and sensitivity to dress appropriately in such a location.”
His words resonated with some of the young people, who started to reconsider their choice of attire in this particular setting.
Josh interjected, saying, “Wearing the clothes of our enemies is like dancing on their graves. It doesn’t feel right.”
A sense of unease spread among the group as they exchanged glances.
Realizing that the argument was leading nowhere, someone suggested, “Let’s not argue with them. It’s better to avoid conflict and not let it ruin our mood.”
Another person chimed in, frustrated, “I woke up at four this morning to get ready… It’s really disheartening to hear such comments.”
“It doesn’t mean that I’m not patriotic if I wear this dress,”
They parted while talking.
Lilly looked at these people, and asked in a muffled voice. “Uncle Anthony, don’t they think it’s wrong to
do so?”
Anthony picked her up and said lightly. “If they feel that it’s wrong, they wouldn’t come here dressed like
this.”
The enemy was cunning and their invasion had never stopped. There were a few individuals in Dudroinia who have been successfully infiltrated.
While there was nothing inherently wrong with appreciating different cultures, subcultures, personal preferences, and the like, it was important not to forget the reasons why one could enjoy such things from the safety of their home.
So it’s here!
