She frowned, curled up her calves slightly, and concentrated on thinking.
Guilty...or not guilty.
It destroys order and brings chaos; it eradicates lies and brings truth.
No matter which side you choose, you seem to be denying the other path. There should also be at least half of the good things on the other path.
"I……"
As soon as Delphinium made a sound, Russell, who had tied up his hair, smiled and touched her head.
Her lover's warm touch interrupted her thoughts, and when she raised her head, she saw Russell's gentle, lake-like eyes.
"You don't have to give an answer right now," he said.
"...I can't give you an answer either."
Delphinium closed her eyes and said in a deep voice: "If you let me use instinct to judge which answer is closer to my true thoughts in a short period of time, this kind of test can still be done. But if you want me to make a decision
A detailed, 'real answer' that I won't regret...I think it will take at least a few days.
"Yes. I need detailed thinking, investigation, reasoning, thinking arrangement, and detailed information before I can make the final answer."
"It doesn't have to be that complicated."
Russell said softly: "Let me take you to see it."
As he spoke, he pulled Delphinium up from the bed.
The two of them were dressed in casual clothes and left Langyin's bar after eating a simple breakfast prepared by the machine servant Xiaoxi.
The next moment they left the bar door, an ordinary small floating car that had just landed at the door opened its door.
Russell pulled Delphinium into the car and greeted the unmanned floating car politely and warmly.
"Morning, Goddess of Beauty."
"Good morning, Russell."
A gentle female voice echoed in the car: "Good morning, Miss Delphinium."
"Good morning, Your Majesty the God of Beauty."
Delphinium nodded somewhat cautiously and said hello softly to the empty driver's seat in front of her.
Only then did she suddenly remember that all the public transportation on Sogo Island were controlled by this beautiful "lady" who controlled "order".
No need to wait for the bus, no need to hail a taxi on the roadside, or even book a ride online like on Happy Island.
As long as you give your destination, the three sages will always find a suitable way to send you there.
You won't be late, you won't make mistakes, you won't be tired, you won't be angry, you won't complain.
Always be rational and always peaceful. Only do the right things and only do what is needed.
From the perspective of "work ability", the artificial intelligence group headed by the three sages has completely eliminated the old humans.
"Are we going to...see your mentor now?"
Delphinium asked in a low voice: "I remember that I heard a similar request yesterday."
Although this car does not actually have a driver, and the beauty can still hear her voice no matter how low it is... but even if it is useless, it is still expressing an intimate attitude of "I am whispering to you".
"Not going today."
Russell simply replied: "We will go together tomorrow."
"Isn't it your birthday tomorrow?"
"right."
Russell responded softly and glanced at the Delphinium sitting opposite him: "That's why I have to go back and take a look tomorrow.
"Since I'm planning to get married, I have to take it back to show it to my elders. I specially picked a happy day, so at least she won't kick me out directly."
Hearing Russell's unabashed words, Delphinium was a little shy.
Her tail began to wag subconsciously. Her tail could never hide her thoughts.
Delphinium stretched out her hands and lowered her head slightly to support her cheeks. She seemed to be feeling the temperature of her cheeks with her fingers and the back of her hands, or she was using her cold hands to physically cool her cheeks.
"Should I say - congratulations?"
Beauty's voice sounded from inside the car: "The clumsy and melancholy little kitten of the past finally found the one he loved."
"Speaking of which, can you also be considered my elder?"
Russell smiled: "After all, you watched me grow up."
"I think it counts."
The God of Beauty was like a real human being, with a smile mixed in her voice: "It's such a happy event, but I have to inform the other two."
"But I remember that the true God doesn't like me."
"The other guy and I like you, that's enough. We always obey the majority."
Mei Shen said: "If you plan to hold a wedding on Sogo Island, I can help you apply for a venue."
"Forget it."
Russell smiled and leaned back.
He opened the beverage cabinet next to him and subconsciously wanted to take out an ice-cold Coke at the right temperature. But his fingers paused slightly and took out a golden bottle of champagne that was still bubbling with fine bubbles.
He took a sip, and then repeated softly: "Forget it, really.
"After all, I don't have many close friends who are still alive here. All the acquaintances I have left in Sogo Island are my elders. Taken together, there probably won't be enough people for a table... I don't want to open a
During the parent-teacher conference, you have to be reprimanded before getting married. Then the atmosphere of the wedding will be too heavy.
"I'd better go back to Happy Island to hold the wedding. At least my acquaintances there are all young people."
"I'm sorry."
The goddess of beauty said softly.
Russell shook his head: "There is nothing to be sorry for."
But Delphinium, who was sitting opposite Russell,
"Don't you drink Coke?"
Delphinium took out the iced Coke for Russell, put it in front of Russell, and gently rotated the handle to make it easier for Russell to grasp it.
Russell hesitated, but still shook his head.
"Today is a good day for drinking. Just take this day and drink with me for a while."
After hearing this, Delphinium was finally able to confirm...it was not his own illusion, but Russell was indeed not in a very good condition today.
She also immediately thought of the truth.
"Is today...Alice's death anniversary?"
Theoretically, she should be called "Mom" and at last "Auntie". But Russell often turns into Alice, so Delphinium always feels as if Alice has never died and has become his friend.
It feels a bit strange to call sisters who have a close relationship and often play with each other "mom"...
Not to mention, even Russell himself often calls Alice by her first name. Just like Russell rarely calls "Uncle Dodgson".
In fact, even Delphinium doesn't know when Russell will use honorifics and when he will call him by his first name. He seems to have his own set of rules.
"Actually, strictly speaking, it's tomorrow. Because it's early morning tomorrow."
Russell replied: "My birthday is the anniversary of her death.
"But considering that tomorrow will be a good day, I can spend it a day earlier. Mom won't care - that's right."
When he said the last sentence, his face suddenly blurred for a moment like a TV screen with poor signal, and turned into the look of Alice.
She said softly in Alice's voice.
The next moment, it seemed as if all this was just an illusion. Delphinium just blinked, and she turned back into Russell.
Delphinium suddenly seemed to understand where she was going today.
"That's why you rented this ordinary-looking and low-key car..."
"Yes."
Russell replied: "Let's go see Alice first today."
"……First?"
"First."
He said calmly: "After that, we have other things to do.
"Before my birthday and the anniversary of her death come...before Lycaon's death anniversary ends, I want to put an end to the werewolf incident on Sogo Island.
"Just as a celebration...and a memorial. Forget about that, come and have a drink with me."
