Miss Witch Doesn't Want to be a Diva

Forget it, forget it, better not to look anymore, Tilan decisively stopped the thoughts in her mind, then looked up at Greer beside her, "What do you plan to do with these two sculptures?"

"Tilan, do you want them?" Greer noticed Tilan's shyness and thoughts.

"Can I pay to buy them?" She didn't want to take them for free; after all, they are the artist's heart and soul.

"No." Greer unexpectedly refused Tilan.

"Why?" Now it was the girl's turn to be surprised, why did the usually indifferent Greer suddenly become insistent.

"Because these are my cherished treasures, let's consider them as the reward for the help Tilan provided." Greer couldn't resist teasing the suddenly shy girl, it was also one of the rare moments in recent years she felt a significant fluctuation and interest.

"Alright." Talking about serious business, Tilan's momentum fell, unable to insist further.

After bidding farewell to Greer, Tilan once again embarked on her journey, heading to the Red Sand Star Domain to visit 'Nine-colored Nautilus' Muyawadi, this songstress is extremely experienced, of the same generation as Idrylia, now one of the oldest in the songstress circle.

Their meeting was in the other's manor, located on the sparse tree grassland, the surface's soil was reddish, and the buildings within the manor had a somewhat rustic beauty.

Muyawadi wore a gauzy dress adorned with five-color fine straps to meet Tilan, she also had a bracelet of ancient agate stone on her wrist.

"Are you looking at this?" Seeing Tilan's curiosity, the other raised her wrist, showing the semi-transparent stones of various colors.

"These were made during my youth." She recalled something.

"It was a very lively and joyous time, songstresses often visited each other, frequently released albums together, performed, and traveled everywhere."

"After spending a long time together, we also gave each other many gifts."

"Later, these things became too numerous, I specifically prepared a room to place them, but to commemorate each other, for each close songstress, I would take a bead from the gem or jewelry she gifted and string it onto the bracelet, thus this seemingly eclectic bracelet." She said as she shook her wrist, the beads softly collided, emitting a faint sound.

Even though speaking of them as gifts from friends, it was easy to associate with something ominous, especially since she had lived long, with past friends all deceased.

During the conversation with this songstress, Tilan felt a kind of faint distortion, the other's words should be sincere, yet inexplicably felt somewhat unreal, like a constantly replaying recording.

Yes, just like a recorder, these conveyed emotions seemed unchanging, without the slightest subtle change, giving a kind of 'non-human' peculiar feeling.

"I probably understand now." After considering for a long time, Tilan did not continue to engage with this, but rather tried and then left.

'Why not continue, giving up so quickly, unlike your style.' Temisia's voice echoed in the girl's mind.

"Though I have some tenacity and don't give up easily, she... probably buried her heart in past memories long ago, now just the shell moving with inertia." Tilan explained the reason.

"If that's the case, there's no need to force it."

...

"Feeling a bit down, maybe it's because I thought of the possible future ending for myself."

"When I'm also old one day, and those familiar people around me are no longer there."

"Hey hey, I'm not dead yet." Temisia retorted.

"Hmm, almost forgot about sister."

"What is this tone, like it's regrettable you didn't kill me then."

"No, just thought sister was too capricious, I didn't dare to say before because of the genius halo."

"Ha, now grown up, you feel stronger than me, if it weren't for my careless mistake then, we'd have merged into one."

"Better not talk about this, it's scary." Tilan rarely retorted.

"I don't want to become the same person as sister, before I couldn't understand why, but now I know, if my personality traits disappear, what's the difference from self-annihilation."

"Self-deprecating is me, timid is me, shy is me, before I really avoided these, but now I think it's okay, because of self-deprecation, I'm always more cautious, this gives me a sense of security, timid may not be likable, but it also avoids many unnecessary troubles and conflicts, making me try to use intellect and reason to think about the possibilities of completing a task, though being shy can't be changed, but this is me, and I won't consciously distort myself, pretending to be poised and arrogant."

From initial avoidance, to later reactive resistance, and now calmly facing it, she was no longer troubled by these differences in personality.

"I am myself, Hexia Tilan, I will achieve what I want to accomplish."
