Dorothy looked at the familiar black-haired witch upstairs and blinked in confusion.
Oh my God, this is really wonderful.
She was just worried about how to find someone, but she met love just around the corner, which was really unexpected.
Then, the house witch lowered her head again. At this time, Fenrir quite consciously unhooked his muzzle, then picked up the letter on the ground and handed it to her.
Well, this scene looked very familiar. She had seen it in "Lies and Trickery". What was in this envelope should be the famous love letter from the Demon King.
After realizing this, Dorothy was suddenly filled with curiosity.
It's just that in the illusion of the opera, she couldn't see clearly what was written in that love letter. Now that she finally has the opportunity, do you want to read it?
The house witch was eager to try it out.
"That, actually, is not what I want to read. It is mainly to fit in with the plot. According to the development in "Lies and Trickery", I should first pretend to return the letter, but actually secretly take the letter inside and run away immediately.
Finally, he fought for three hundred rounds with the chasing Miss Demon King. Both sides were evenly matched. It was difficult to find an opponent, so we had to make a bet."
She recalled the content of the opera she had seen before, and then defended herself in her mind.
Hmm, I'm not out of curiosity, I'm just following the development of the plot.
So, her dexterous hands started to work. The moment she took the envelope from Fenrir's mouth, she took away the letter inside and put it into the hidden pocket of her sleeve. At the same time, she also thoughtfully put something in the envelope.
Put a blank letter paper that is exactly the same in weight and texture to ensure that there will be no flaws if the envelope is not opened.
Don't ask why she is so professional. There are hidden pockets in the cuffs. Now her body and clothes are made of Hermes. I can only say that Miss Sage's little hands may not be very clean.
After all, he is a member of the Heart Thieves who gave rise to the legend of Jack the Phantom Thief.
Of course, it may also be because Hermes' code name is Magician. As a magician, it makes sense for him to have such strange devices hidden in his clothes.
After confirming that she had received the Demon King's love letter, Dorothy showed her friendly sister-next-door smile, then raised the envelope in her hand and asked Miss Demon King upstairs.
"Little sister upstairs, did you drop this letter?"
...........
At this moment, in the room upstairs, Astymos's pupils shrank. She looked at the face that was almost engraved in her soul, and she felt as if she was dreaming.
After all, she had just drawn a picture of the expected teacher's stand-in, and when she turned around, there was a woman exactly like the picture she drew waving to her downstairs. This was really unrealistic.
.
coincide?
Miss Demon King frowned and thought so.
But this probability is too low. She didn't copy the previous character design from somewhere, it was completely original by her. It's so "conflicting" that it's really outrageous.
"Is that a trap set by someone?"
She was so suspicious again.
But the problem is that she just finished writing this letter a few minutes ago, and the character design was just drawn. Who could be so efficient and create a perfectly restored real-life cosplay to deceive her?
Besides, she has always kept a low profile in front of the family's trash. Who would spend so much money to deceive her into being a trash?
"Then there is only one last possibility. Could it be that I have actually completed the creation of the teacher's substitute and then erased the memory of this aspect in order to achieve self-deception?"
Artie thought so in his mind.
Well, it is impossible for people to deceive themselves under normal circumstances, but what if they lose their memory?
A self who has lost his memory may indeed be enlightened by various arrangements designed before, and finally achieve the achievement that he deceived himself.
"Ah, as expected of me, the efficiency is really high, and this stand-in is really perfect, not only in appearance, but also in this temperament, so perfect that I can't even tell that it's a fake smile, it's just like a fake smile.
In my mind, what a teacher should look like is exactly the same."
Miss Demon King admired her craftsmanship.
But, is this really the case? My memory is obviously very coherent, there is nothing missing.
Artie still had some doubts in his heart.
In short, she is really confused now. Is the Hermes downstairs real or fake?
However, it was useless to think too much alone. She finally decided to go downstairs to chat with this "big sister" to find out more.
"It's my letter. Thank you sister. I'll be down right away."
Miss Demon King's flawless and sunny face showed an innocent smile like an angel, and then she said so sweetly.
Then, she opened the door and walked down the stairs quickly.
............
Downstairs, when she saw Miss Devil's sweet smile, Dorothy almost couldn't help but vomited.
I can't help it. People who don't know this may really think that this is a beautiful sister like a little angel, but the otaku witch is so familiar with Artie that she can tell at a glance that this guy is acting again.
.
Well, it feels like your good friend who grew up wearing the same pair of pants suddenly changed into women's clothes one day, and then told you in a sweet and charming voice that she is actually a girl, and she likes you very much, and wants to be you in the future.
little cutie.
That moment was so terrifying.
Let's not talk about whether she is a real girl or not, but it is indeed unacceptable that the "good brother" who usually talks dirty jokes suddenly becomes so coquettish.
"yue..."
Seeing that Miss Demon King had disappeared from the window, the Otaku Witch quickly made a vomiting motion, but in the next second, she seamlessly switched to the elegant and friendly big sister next door mode.
Because Miss Demon King has already arrived at the door.
"I'll go, what's the speed of going downstairs? You're teleporting. Are you so eager?"
Dorothy complained in her heart.
It takes a normal person more than ten seconds to run down the stairs. Although witches are more flexible than ordinary people, who would sprint at full speed in daily mode? That is not ordinary daily life, it is the daily life of the Flash, right?
But it looks like Miss Demon King really sprinted down.
However, it is understandable for the otaku witch to be anxious about Artie. After all, the envelope contains a love letter with a dark history. It was picked up by someone. If it were her, she would be even more anxious and would not leave.
Stairs, just jump down from the upstairs window, okay?
Of course, she thought so in her heart, but on the surface Dorothy still showed a somewhat surprised expression.
"You're so quick, little sister. It seems this is a rather important letter. Well, I've returned it to you. You should keep it well next time."
She handed over the envelope in her hand, and then pulled the dog leash in her hand, signaling to Fenrir that it was time to run away.
Well, that's how it is played in the plot of the opera. Besides, I just switched someone else's belongings. If I don't run away, I'm waiting for the secret to be exposed.
only.......
"Sister, please wait a moment."
Dorothy was just about to run away, but her hand was suddenly grabbed by someone. Turning her head, she saw Miss Devil's face that was really easy to make people's hearts beat.
Just looking at the skin, she is actually more like a saint, as noble and holy as a snow lotus, but who would have imagined that underneath this angelic appearance is a devil's heart full of bad water?
But now is not the time to remain silent in the glory of the Demon King. There is something wrong with this plot. That's not how it was played in "Lies and Trickery".
When her hand was suddenly held, the otaku witch was a little panicked.
Obviously in the fantasy land of singing and dancing, Hermes ran away directly, but Miss Demon King only realized that her love letter had been switched after several hours.
But now what exactly went wrong?
The otaku witch forcibly calmed down the panic in her heart, and her face showed just the right amount of confusion.
"What's the matter, little sister, I still have something to do, it's quite urgent."
At this time, Adi was also carefully feeling the feeling of your sister's arm being held by you.
"This is definitely a real person, not a puppet or an illusion. Ah, am I really capable of making such a fake substitute?"
The devil girl was so suspicious.
You must know that the sister in front of you is not weak at all. The magic power of about 400,000 mana is almost the same as her now. She has no ability to create such a powerful witch substitute.
So, is it really just a coincidence?
"It's just that this letter is really important to me. Sister, thank you so much for returning it to me. Can I know your name, sister? I'll treat you to dinner later."
Atty smiled sweetly again, and then asked sincerely.
Well, it doesn't matter if they look the same, but they can't have the same names.
"Of course, my name is Hermes."
Dorothy didn't think too much and simply reported her current name calmly. There seemed to be no need to hide this.
Miss Demon King: "......"
Damn, even the names are the same. What a coincidence. There must be something fishy in this.
Artie's eyes suddenly became sharp.
"Tell me, who asked you to come and how did you know about it."
She began to exert force on her hands, tightly grasping the unknown elder sister in front of her like a vise, and then asked fiercely.
She stopped pretending and showed her cards directly.
Although she has always pretended to be a loser, now someone is making fun of her most important teacher, which she can't bear.
Dorothy: "???"
Now I can't play the role of House Witch anymore. What's going on? The plot has completely changed.
She was really starting to panic now. After all, this was not a matter of acting or not, but that if she was not careful, she would really change the future.
"So, Mr. Sage, this is what you said is absolutely fine? I just said that you should give me a copy of the memory?"
Dorothy's scalp feels numb now.
But it's not a big problem and it should be possible to salvage it.
After all, according to the theory of time and space, the world line will converge on its own, just like the human body's self-healing ability.
There is no need to go to the hospital for some minor illnesses and injuries, and they can recover on their own.
So some small things can be slightly changed, as long as the big main line remains unchanged. Anyway, Hermos originally wanted to fight the Demon King. As long as the bet can be successfully made, there shouldn't be much change in the future.
"I don't quite understand what you mean, little sister. I really just passed by your door. Besides, you hurt me."
Because she had no idea what the problem was, and she didn't quite understand the meaning of Miss Demon King's question just now, the otaku witch had no choice but to pretend to be stupid again to see if she could collect some extra information.
Of course, this is not all acting. At least it hurts when she screams. The little brat Adi is really hard, and his strength attribute is definitely not low. It hurts her to pinch her wrist.
Was pinched purple.
Dorothy is really afraid of pain. She usually throws the pain to the Goblin King, but now in order to make her acting more realistic, she endured it herself this time.
Damn it, you little brat, you need to be beaten again. Don't force me to use the secret technique of waist drum again. Don't think that I won't dare to do it because you are your real devil. Anyway, it is Hermes who beats you, not her.
I'm Dorothy.
She was so heartbroken.
Well, Artie, you'd better be smarter and cooperate with me to complete the performance. Don't toast or eat as a penalty.
It's a pity that Miss Demon King really has no intention of cooperating. After all, she is really angry now.
She usually pretends to be useless and tolerates all kinds of bullying, but this time, she really can't bear it.
Although she is not a dragon, she still has reverse scales that will make her angry if touched.
"Haha, you won't admit it, right? Really, I obviously don't want to cause trouble, why do you have to force me?"
The Demon King girl also smiled when she saw the guy in front of her who was pretending to be stupid despite the persona she designed for her teacher.
This time it was not a fake sweet smile, but an evil smile.
She decided not to suppress the violent emotions she had endured for so many years.
"You also said that you were just passing by, so who changed the letter here? Do you want to say that it was your dog?"
She shook off the envelope in her hand and asked fiercely.
Fenrir: "......"
No, can this also involve me?
Miss Dogman Witch is very innocent, but she really feels the terrible magic pressure. The instinct that has been around for many years reminds her that the young witch who looks like an angel in front of her is really dangerous. Run quickly, otherwise she will really die.
Life-threatening.
Damn it, are young people these days so scary? And why are the contrasts so huge among them?
Fenrir was also speechless.
My "cheap master" looks like a kind neighbor sister, but turns out to be a pervert who likes to turn people into dogs and walk them on the street.
And this little sister who was as sunny as a porcelain doll now showed such a bloodthirsty and violent side.
Can this world get any better? Aren't you tired of living like this?
And when Dorothy heard Miss Devil King's straightforward question, she finally couldn't pretend anymore.
Damn, this is really discovered.
Moreover, my hand is really getting more and more painful.
Moreover, Miss Demon King is not the only one who always suppresses her true nature, but also the otaku witch.
She is really afraid of pain.
Firstly, the feeling of pain is really uncomfortable, and secondly, stimulation like pain can easily make a dragon's blood boil.
Wounded beasts are most dangerous, and so are pain-eating dragons.
"Damn it, I'm so annoyed. Why haven't things gone well for me since I came to this shabby city? I'm forcing you? Are you forcing me? Arti, Arti, why can't you just pretend to be okay?
I don’t know, how about you cooperate with me well?”
Dorothy, who became a little irritable because of the pain, was too lazy to act.
Damn the stability of time and space, if you dare, you could really kill me.
Or that damn Hermes, I just said that you really shouldn’t believe a word of what the Sage of Lies said. Is this what you call a very simple performance?
Damn it, fuck the script, I can express myself freely. At worst, I will flip the table and quit. I will call my sister to take me back.
Dorothy was really tired. All the troubles she had accumulated since she came to lead Night City suddenly exploded.
so.....
The Demon King who was originally very angry and showed her true power is now really confused.
She also wanted to shout that the plot was wrong.
Logically speaking, shouldn't she be the one to break the seal now and show off?
but......
Well, a big hand just covered her face, and then terrifying power burst out.
"You are such a naughty brat and you need to be dealt with. The grudge between us has not yet been settled. How dare you dance like this in front of me?"
Dorothy's voice sounded very annoyed.
Well, you, the Demon King, are just a small-minded person, and we are not very narrow-minded either. In modern times, you are the Demon King, and I can’t afford to offend you. But in the past, you were just a guy with the same magic power as me, and you were worthy of pretending in front of me.
?
Haha, you are a demon king, right? You are proficient in nine series, right?
Then let’s see who is the real Demon King like you, or me, the second-generation Demon King, who is the real one. I’ve been thinking about having a fair fight with you at the same level for a long time.
