The young girl cried her eyes out.
What's more, the new civilization led by Noldrei could directly identify the motives of its personnel, so there was no room for any so-called pretense later on.
Shigure Kira was crying her eyes out, but the people of the Candy House were all extremely excited and happy.
They couldn't wait to send out a group of people.
Being cooped up in the Candy House all year round, even the most beautiful pastries and candies couldn't satisfy the spiritual needs of the people here. It was even less effective than the non-toxic happy grass that was selling like hotcakes in North America.
They weren't afraid of putting their eggs in different baskets now; they were afraid of not knowing whether Noldrei was telling the truth or lying.
Even though the candy people themselves were beings constructed from high-dimensional consciousness, they couldn't detect the thoughts of others.
After all, when Peppermint cooperated with the Earthlings, he was immediately betrayed by them. That Earthling was Murata Himeko's father, Murata Ryusuke.
Murata Ryusuke was the main reason for the Candy House civilization's flight from Earth back then.
At that time, Peppermint wanted to cooperate with humans to fight against the Honkai in order to gain a foothold on Earth and a place to survive.
However, Murata Ryusuke was a dishonorable man. He directly crushed Peppermint to death, then stole the alien's power, wanting to monopolize all the benefits and even wanting to expand his military power externally.
This also showed that the individuals of the Candy House civilization were completely powerless against humans in a non-combat state.
This was why these high-dimensional consciousness beings had to merge and coexist with humans to display their power.
Elder Konpeito was a little unsure about this situation. He wasn't sure if what Noldrei said was true or false.
However, Sugar Molass explained that Noldrei had taken the opportunity to communicate with her and had even generously invited her to tour his memories. Otherwise, she wouldn't have established such a good symbiotic trust with Noldrei so easily.
In just two days, he had managed to get her to leave Shigure Kira. It was clear that besides being "physically strong," Noldrei had also consciously satisfied Sugar Molass's "spiritual needs."
"What Sugar Molass says alone is not enough to be believed. If we coexist with other civilizations, we can see a little bit of their intentions just by looking at how they handle Shigure. In terms of deception or strategy, we are no match for humans. We have also observed the overly cruel society of humans in secret."
"Ever since we left Earth because of Murata Ryusuke's betrayal of Peppermint, we haven't observed Earth for a long time. We can't be sure if what this person says is true or false. We need some people to go to Earth to see if what he says is true."
Elder Konpeito's words caused an uproar among everyone. They were a little nervous and afraid, but also a little excited at the thought of having a chance to go out.
However, when it came to who would go first, it was a little unsettling.
In fact, some people from the Candy House civilization had gone out to Earth before, but except for Sugar Molass, they had all perished on Earth.
Even Sugar Molass had lost her memory and consciousness after being blown up by the Second Honkai Eruption, and had barely managed to escape by merging with Shigure Kira. It was only with Noldrei's intervention that Sugar Molass gradually recovered.
In the eyes of the Candy House civilization, Earth was like a big pit that could erupt in danger at any time.
Who knew when they would be targeted by the Honkai?
Elder Konpeito's idea was to send one or two people out to test the waters first. Maybe they could really achieve the plan of civilizational coexistence by cooperating with the upper echelons of Earth.
"How about we go out and ask Shigure Kira's opinion?" Toffee suggested. "Shigure Kira has lived on the current Earth for a while, and Earth is like her old home to her. With Shigure Kira's advice, wouldn't our understanding of Earth be more comprehensive?"
"Alright, let's go see Shigure together." Elder Konpeito sighed. He always felt that cooperating with the current human civilization was very, very dangerous. But when Noldrei discussed related cooperation topics, he was even more thorough than the Anti-Entropy leader back then.
He didn't talk about things like equality and freedom; he was talking to you about how to give you power and benefits.
'What an incredible civilization leader.'
While human ideals like freedom and equality could make Elder Konpeito sigh with empathy, power and benefits could really make Elder Konpeito waver in his current civilization's path.
Just as Elder Konpeito was taking his people to find Shigure Kira, he heard a conversation that shocked him.
"Kira, don't you think you look like a very good shoe brush right now?"
"You look so fluffy, completely like a pom-pom. It's about the size of an adult's hand. I wonder what it would be like to use it to polish shoes? And it seems like it doesn't shed..."
Noldrei reached out and tried to pull a strand from Shigure Kira, but it was like touching a smooth little tentacle, and he couldn't grasp it directly.
"Why do you have to consider polishing shoes with someone else's body?!" Shigure Kira was about to go crazy. She thought Noldrei's brain was completely abnormal.
"Didn't you guys turn into this yourselves? I thought there must be some special practical hobby, and you even made the surrounding pastries so big. Even if the preservation ability is very good, making the pastries and candies so big would definitely be inconvenient to eat."
"Look! According to the shape of these pastries, it proves that the people of the Candy House civilization must have been about the same size as humans in the past."
Shigure Kira was attracted by Nold's words and also focused her attention on the structure of the Candy House.
This was the Candy House, and her current body was about the size of a human hand. If she were to go by the size of the surrounding pastries, the users of these things would have to be at least the same size as humans.
'Including the preference for sweets, it means that the Candy House civilization at least had the same sensory organs in the past. They also had eyes, they also had hands... which means their civilization wasn't all just strange tentacles from the beginning?'
Shigure Kira realized something. She unexpectedly found that what Noldrei was saying wasn't nonsense.
This guy seemed to be really considering what the Candy House civilization was like in the past.
"According to their current social structure, I think they were very likely humans or humanoid lifeforms in the past. Then they eked out a living in this small Bubble Universe called the Candy House and had to use a primitive human social form. Although it looks like Elder Konpeito is talking about the problems of Earthlings, they are actually very likely talking about the problems of their own civilization in the past."
Shigure Kira scratched her head. She felt like she was about to grow a brain.
You can think so much just by looking at the structure of a Candy House? Doesn't that make me look very stupid?
