Iron Snow Clouds

Chapter 7183 (Seven Thousand One Hundred and Ninety-One) is also complete.

“I don’t even remember who did this first. If I did it first, then of course it’s not like I’m retaliating. But what you did is retaliating against me,” Grayhand laughed.

“I don’t remember who did this first. I really don’t remember,” the brown-handed man laughed.

“Some things don’t need to be remembered,” said Grayhand. “Even if you remember them, it won’t do any good. It’s better to forget them.”

The brown-handed man laughed and said, "It seems we all selectively forget some things."

The gray-handed man said, "You said that with a smile."

“Yes,” said the brown-handed man.

The gray-handed man said, "Have you thought of anything else?"

The brown-handed man asked, "In what way?"

“I haven’t specifically thought about any particular aspect, I’m just asking if you’ve thought of anything else,” said the gray-handed man.

The brown-handed man said, “Of course I would think of that. I don’t only think of one side when I’m speaking.”

“You haven’t said what ‘one side’ is, or what ‘the others’ is,” the gray-handed man said.

“‘One aspect’ is one aspect, and ‘other aspects’ are the other aspects,” the brown-handed man laughed.

The gray-handed man said, "Is there much difference between saying that and not saying anything at all?"

“Not much,” the brown-handed man laughed. “In my opinion, the more important difference is that I’m saying it now, instead of when I didn’t.”

Grayhand said, "Actually, you know what I'm trying to say."

“Perhaps,” said the Brown-Handed Man. “The first thing that comes to mind is that selectively forgetting things might reduce the pain compared to remembering them.”

The gray-handed man said, "I thought of that too."

“You are me, and I am you,” the brown-handed man laughed.

The gray-handed man said, "Your smile this time is different from the last one, isn't it?"

“It’s different this time, it’s just a joke,” said the Brown-Handed Man. “What about last time?” asked the Gray-Handed Man.

“Last time, that was much more complicated,” the brown-handed man said. “It certainly included the element of laughing as if it could comfort me, but when I laughed, I also felt helplessness and something else. There was also a self-deprecating side to it. Of course, although I said ‘we,’ that ‘self-deprecating’ side was just ‘self-deprecation,’ it was directed at me alone.”

Grayhand said, "Are you still emphasizing this?"

The brown-handed man said, "He probably just wants to emphasize that I wasn't mocking you."

The gray-handed man laughed and said, "It doesn't matter if you laugh at me for something like this."

“It’s okay to make fun of yourself, but you can’t make fun of others,” the brown-handed man laughed.

Grayhand said, "When did you become so principled?"

The brown-handed man laughed and said, "How would I know? Besides, is this considered upholding principles?"

“‘This’ principle, talking about ‘this’ principle is still talking about principles,” Grayhand said. “In my opinion, no matter what principle we talk about, it’s still talking about principles.”

The brown-handed man laughed and said, "That works too."

"What do you mean?" the gray-handed man asked.

“You can say that either way,” said the brown-handed man.

The gray-handed man laughed and said, "Whether it works or not, I've already said so."

The brown-handed man said, "That's true."

The gray-handed man chuckled, "Are you thinking about something?"

"I'm talking to you while I'm thinking about 'self-deprecation'," the brown-handed man said.

"Oh, actually we're pretty much the same. Regarding the question you just mentioned, when I make fun of myself, I won't laugh at you either," the Gray-Handed Man chuckled.

The brown-handed man said, "I know, but you can laugh at me too."

The gray-handed man laughed and said, "I also adhere to this principle."
