Totu thinking for a moment and then spoke again, directly looking into the teacher's eyes.
"Teacher, I want an army. I want war against the Butterfly Fairy World."
When the teacher heard Totu say he wanted an army, there was disbelief in his eyes, because Totu had always been a child with a very kind and innocent heart. Now he wanted an army to go against the Butterfly Fairy World. But that alone was not the most important thing.
One had to know that in this world, when someone wants war against another, they always have reasons—important or unimportant.
But now Totu wanted war against the Butterfly Fairy World, and his reason was simple.
Totu did not seek war out of hatred or anger.
He felt neither resentment nor desire for destruction.
His reason was simple, yet clear.
He wished to eat the fruits and drink a flower water that only grew in their land—very tasty ones—
and drink their pure springs waters.
To him, this was his greed.
It was a question of his heart's nature.
If even such a small wish required conflict,
then the world itself had already chosen the path of war.
When Totu saw the teacher's expression, he knew his words sounded unnecessary, excessive, and extreme. Yet he still wanted to say them. At the same time, he also felt it was funny and overdone, so he spoke calmly.
Totu said,
"Teacher, I am not an unreasonable person. They have already built fortresses, and they also have an army. I thought carefully through countless possibilities, but I found no results. I have no other options. That is why I thought like this and told you. Now I tell you all of this as my opinion. You tell me what to do."
"And also, when I say I want war against the Butterfly Fairy World, that is only my thinking—I have no other ways. But that doesn't mean I truly want war. Even if the situation forces war as the only option, I don't want to choose it. I am only telling you that I am thinking like this because I have no other options. Now I have said everything. It's your turn—tell me what I should do, Teacher," Totu asked curiously.
Inside his heart, he thought:
Because I have no options or countermeasures against the five butterfly fairies puppies, now I am passing this burden to Teacher. Teacher definitely has a way. My little brain is very tired from thinking. Now what to do next is Teacher's decision.
Totu took a calming breath, cleared his confusion, and waited for the teacher's decision. He leaned back against the reclining chair again and looked at the shadowed sky, the moon, and the stars.
The teacher heard everything Totu said, but he didn't react to most of it. He thought deeply for a long moment and then spoke calmly,
"Okay. Tomorrow, I will give you something."
Totu said happily,
"Okay, I'm waiting,"
with a smiling face. Whatever the teacher gave him would surely be unique, mysterious, yet simple.
The teacher continued thinking deeply. Totu also happily thought about tomorrow's gift. Then the long silence was suddenly broken by a playful voice.
Both the teacher and Totu looked at the same time—Toku.
Toku had silently listened to the entire conversation. He had already built an imaginative story in his mind with reasonable points. In his version, Totu's and the teacher's conversation had reached its final chapter.
Now he flew into the air in front of the reclining chairs and spoke in a playful tone,
"Totu, I've seen countless unreasonable people in my life, and very few ever caught my attention. But today, another unreasonable person has caught my attention—a very unreasonable headsome child in front of me."
Toku looked at Totu and asked playfully,
"Totu, do you know who that is?"
Totu already knew that this puppy had started another imagination story again, and that he himself was the main character. Totu didn't care. He didn't reply and only looked at Toku irritably. The teacher also became interested—Toku's nonsense often hid strange logic about people and emotions.
Toku didn't care and continued speaking,
"Totu, I always thought you were my righteous and innocent big brother. But now I finally see your true nature. Some say, 'A true wolf always wears sheep's clothing.' That perfectly fits you, Totu."
When Totu heard Toku's words, he didn't get angry. He directly looked at Toku and spoke,
"Toku, you'd better explain your words today. You know the consequences of offending me, you know what I can do. Totu said in a threatening tone.
Toku didn't give up and spoke,
"Totu, you threaten me, but I am a righteous person. Even if you kill me, I will tell the world your true colors." Toku said righteously.
Toku continued,
"Even now, you didn't reveal your true intentions. Because of your handsome and innocent face, you think you've tricked everyone. But I have a responsibility to bring justice to injustice."
"Totu, you want war against the Butterfly Fairy World for your own interests."
Totu replied directly,
"Toku, just because I'm a good boy, don't think I've never done bad things. You're forcing me now. Next, I might really do something bad," Totu said calmly.
Toku answered,
"I already know your true nature. Now you openly admit you're not a good person. Even if the world has no justice, I, Toku—the righteous one—will give justice to those drowning in suffering."
"I'll tell you directly now—your scheme against the Butterfly Fairy World."
"First, you bullied them and tried to forcefully kidnap the five Butterfly Fairy Princesses because they rejected marrying you. Because you failed, you now want war and don't care about morality. And you still say you're a good and innocent child. Now tell me—who is the unjust one?"
When Totu heard Toku's accusations, he didn't know what to say. Toku had twisted the real events into a convincing story. Anyone who heard it would believe Totu was a villain forcing marriage.
Totu understood now—there was no reasoning with Toku anymore. Toku had lost control. There was only one option left: teach him a lesson so he would understand the consequences of speaking nonsense.
Totu looked directly into Toku's golden eyes with a cold expression.
Toku stared back into Totu's silver-blue eyes with a mocking smile.
The next moment, Totu didn't argue. He acted.
Totu jumped and attacked Toku. Toku reacted instantly, escaping and flying away.
Totu shouted,
"Toku! Today I'll teach you a lesson—anyone who offends me will face punishment!"
Toku shouted back playfully,
"This righteous Toku doesn't fear good or evil. I'll stand on the righteous path—even if you're just a child!"
Totu was now truly angry. He chased Toku relentlessly, wanting to bite him until his anger calmed.
Toku kept dodging. Neither of them gave up.
The teacher watched everything silently, his eyes fixed on the moon and stars. Deep concern and worry hid within his gaze as he thought of something far beyond this childish chaos.
