Chapter 7401 (Seven Thousand Four Hundred and One) This Step

Grayhand said, "That just means it's different from the tone of voice we talked about before. It's not appropriate to conclude that it can't be considered imitation, is it?"

The brown-handed man chuckled, “If you want to examine it closely, that’s true. But we’ve been talking like that all along. In that atmosphere, if I said something without mimicking your tone of voice, you might also think I wasn’t mimicking, right?”

"Hehe, that's not necessarily true," said the gray-handed man.

“In that situation, if I asked you if it looked like it, you would also say no, right?” the brown-handed man asked.

“It may not look like it, but it’s not that it’s a bad imitation. You can only talk about whether it looks like it or not after you’ve done the imitation. Since we’ve come this far, it means we’ve already done the imitation.” Grayhand laughed. “No matter the atmosphere, imitation and no imitation are two different things, regardless of whether the imitation looks good or not.”

“Hmm,” said the brown-handed man, “could you understand that I only imitated what you said, but not your tone of voice?”

The gray-handed man laughed and said, "That depends on what you were thinking at the time. If you really just wanted to imitate what I said, and not my tone of voice, then I can assume that's what you meant."

The brown-handed man said, "What was I thinking? Actually, I don't think I thought that much at the time. I'm curious if you agree with what I just said."

The gray-handed man asked, "What are you talking about?"

The brown-handed man laughed and said, "I won't repeat myself. I'll ask you again."

“You can certainly choose to ask again,” the gray-handed man laughed.

"Is my other way of putting it more accurate?" the brown-handed man asked.

"You mean, replace 'imitation' with 'repetition'?" Grayhand asked.

“Yes,” said the brown-handed man.

"Considering that you just said that what you did didn't count as imitating me, I would naturally agree that 'repetition' is more accurate than 'imitation,'" said the gray-handed man.

The brown-handed man said, "Is it because he didn't imitate the tone of voice?" The gray-handed man replied, "You could say that. Without imitating the tone of voice, it's natural to assume that he's repeating what I said."

The brown-handed man laughed and said, "Why don't you consider another possibility?"

"What possibilities are you considering?" Grayhand asked.

The brown-handed man said, "Consider the possibility that I was actually imitating your tone of voice just now, but the imitation wasn't quite right."

The gray-handed man said, "This is far too bad."

"What makes you say there's such a big difference?" the brown-handed man asked.

"The tone of your voice just now is enough," the gray-handed man laughed. "You were just talking like you normally would."

The brown-handed man said, "But you spoke as if you were speaking normally."

The gray-handed man laughed and said, "But that's how 'I' usually talk, not how 'you' usually talk."

“Haha! You don’t need to say ‘you are me, and I am you’ anymore?” the brown-handed man asked.

“That’s right, we don’t need to now,” the gray-handed man said with a smile.

"Anyway, you just use that saying when you need it," the brown-handed man laughed.

"Anyway, as long as we're not speaking in a serious tone, we can use 'you are me, I am you' whenever we need to, and even use it for a while," the gray-handed man laughed.

“Under the current circumstances, we rarely seem to say those six words seriously,” the Brown-Handed Man chuckled.
