Chapter 506: Everyone Dresses Like This
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
For some reason, Amelia gradually became unhappy. The City God was the guardian of a city. When he was alive, he was the hero of this city. He made a huge sacrifice to protect the people. The people elected him and worshipped him with sculptures to form the City God Temple. In the past, the generals used their lives to protect the people and beat away the invading army. Now, the people on the streets were wearing the clothes of the enemy’s country and cheering and dancing in front of his temple…
Amelia suddenly stopped and grabbed the dress of a young lady who happened to walk past. This dress was straight and carried a large bow on her back. Her hair was tied up and stuck with a chopstick- shaped hairpin. It was full of exoticism. Amelia mustered her courage and asked, “Miss, why are you wearing such clothes? In the past, Grandpa City God worked very hard to chase away the bad guys. You’re wearing the clothes of the enemy country.”
The young lady was stunned for a moment, but she quickly understood.
Amelia was probably asking why she was wearing the traditional clothes of the neighboring country. She waved her hand and said indifferently, “Little girl, don’t be so rigid. Clothes are just personal hobbies. Everyone dresses like this!”
Amelia clenched her fists and said seriously, “But this is wrong. You can’t wear it!” To be precise, you can’t wear it in front of Grandpa City God.
The lady did not take it to heart. When she saw the other two boys glaring at her, one with undisguised disgust in his eyes, and their parents with cold expressions, her good mood just now was instantly ruined. She was a little unhappy. What era was it? Didn’t they have the freedom to dress?
The young lady said casually, “Everyone is dressed like this today. I’m not the only one.” With that, she turned around and left. She even complained to her companion, “I’m really speechless. There are all kinds of people. Now, I have the freedom to wear whatever I like and wear when I go out. It’s all my freedom. Why would anyone care what others wear? How annoying!’
The young lady’s companion echoed, “That’s right. It’s fine if those old people don’t understand our preferences, but I didn’t expect a little kid to be like this. I really feel sorry for her. I don’t know how much she has been disciplined by the adults.” Their complaints gradually faded.
Amelia was indignant and said loudly, “But this is the City God Temple! It’s the place Grandpa Wencheng and the warrior uncles risked their lives to protect! ”
The passerby stopped in surprise and looked at Amelia and the two girls in confusion. The two girls blushed and said indignantly, “Are you morally kidnapping us? Today is the doll exhibition. Everyone gets together based on their hobbies. It’s just our circle’s hobbies. Why do you have to raise your morals?!”
Another girl also said, “Is it against the law to wear what you like? Today is the doll exhibition and anime convention. Everyone is wearing what they like.
It’s fine if you don’t like it, but can you respect cultural diversity?”
The surrounding passersby understood and spoke at once. Most of them agreed with the two girls.
“That’s right. There’s no sin in hobbies. What’s personal freedom if you like it?”
“Please stop your rigid cognition. Don’t use pedantic thoughts to morally kidnap us!’
The young people in all kinds of clothes were indignant.
George said coldly, “It’s not wrong to like whatever you like. It’s your freedom to wear whatever you want, but it depends on the occasion.” He looked at the square of the City God Temple. “Back then, your ancestors sacrificed themselves here and were cruelly killed here. Now that you appear in front of them in the clothes of an invading country, don’t you feel guilty?”
William also said, “That’s right. What’s the difference between this and wearing the clothes of your enemy and dancing on their graves?” Everyone looked at each other, feeling a little uncomfortable.
“Forget it, forget it. Don’t talk to them anymore. It’ll affect my mood!”
“l got up at five in the morning to put on makeup and style myself. Now, it’s as if I’ve eaten a fly. It’s disgusting!’
“Why? Am I unpatriotic because I’m wearing the traditional clothes of another country?”
As they spoke, they dispersed.
Amelia looked at these people and asked in a muffled voice, “Eldest Uncle, don’t they think that something is wrong?”
George picked Amelia up and said calmly, “If they really felt that something was wrong, they wouldn’t have come here dressed like this.” It could only be said that the enemy was very cunning. The invasion had never stopped. In the past, it was the army, and now it was thought. A small number of people in their country had indeed been successfully invaded. They loved different cultures and their personal preferences were not wrong, but they should not forget why they could lie comfortably at home and read these things now..
