Children are young and ignorant, and they have no choice but to use a little corporal punishment. It's understandable.
But the problem is that Asuna is no longer a child.
At her age, her subjective consciousness has begun to mature, which is the most sensitive period for building self-confidence. If she still uses the same old methods to educate her at this time, what she did is wrong!
No, Asuna is already desperate for Kyoko now
"I don't want to go back to that home. Can you take me here?"
Asuna expressed her intention to run away from home and hoped that Noa could take her in.
Noa was not surprised by this.
Escape is the instinct of boys and girls of Asuna's age, because they do not yet have the ability and courage to facing conflicts with their families.
At the same time, their parents have been accumulating power for too long. They know that they are weak when facing their parents, and escaping is the instinct of self-protection.
However, they have to stay in the Great Tree Village.
"Are you sure? Joining the Great Tree Village is for life, and once you arrive, you cannot leave."
Noa explained the seriousness of this decision to Asuna, and then suggested, "Otherwise, you can be a non-staff member, and you are also a resident of the Great Tree Village, but you don't have the benefits of others, and you rely solely on work to support yourself."
He is mainly afraid that Asuna will make a decision because of her current rebellious mentality. and regret it later.
Although the contract can restrict behavior, it cannot restrict psychology.
If Asuna regrets it by then, she will cant back anymore.
The non-staff residents are actually ordinary residents.
Strictly speaking, these girls in the Great Tree Village are actually the official lifelong staff of the Great Tree Village.
Although they are also paid, they can usually Live freely.
But as long as Noa gives an order, they must obey the order.
Because they are all bound by Noa.
As for the outsiders, there is no need to sign a contract, and there is no initial favor, magic, practice method, etc. Welfare, there aren't that many discounts and conveniences in life.
You don't have to listen to orders, you have more freedom, but you don't have that much support, and it's much harder.
Hearing this, Asuna also hesitated.
She didn't lose her mind, after Noa explained that there would be no room for withdrawal after joining, she started to think about it seriously.
