Chapter 5 A messy story(1/3)
The man seemed to be frightened, and then just stood there holding the paper airplane.
The wind stopped.
Because the distance was so close, I quickly discovered that we were acquaintances.
So my first reaction was: terrible.
I walked quickly and didn't raise my head until I stopped in front of her - she was staring at me steadily.
"...Ah! What a coincidence..."
I pretended to say hello nonchalantly, while awkwardly reaching out quickly to take away the paper airplane.
The person in front of me is the girl named Snow whom I met not long ago.
Snow's gaze was like countless needles piercing me, but I could only bear it silently and laugh in apology, feeling extremely panicked.
Never get angry, never get angry...
"It hurts..."
After about a minute, Xue covered her head.
What's going on...this inexplicably inconsistent scene...
"...I'm so sorry."
"..."
The snow begins to move forward.
I followed her cautiously, maybe it was an illusion, but from the side, her face seemed to be a little bulging.
"You want to follow me again?"
After a period of parallelism, I heard Xue’s second sentence.
"No...it's just that I happened to be on the way."
"In other words, going to drink again?"
"How do you know?"
"This road will only lead to the hotel and tavern where I stay."
"That's it, haha..."
What a useless conversation...
"It's clear that the work hasn't been finished yet, but I'm so worried."
Taught a lesson...
She should be referring to the murder case.
"Haha, okay."
"In other words, are you the type of person who advocates giving up your mind?"
"How could there be someone who would make that kind of claim...Although I do spend most of my time doing nothing, I still think about it often."
"In other words, can I understand that this is quibbling?"
"Eh~~"
Being wronged, I made a sound of dissatisfaction.
“For example, I often think about questions such as ‘Why does this world have paper airplanes when there are no airplanes?’ and ‘Why can paper airplanes be stuck in the hair without falling off?’”
Counterattack is necessary.
"..."
Xue didn't answer. I looked at her and found that her face was even bigger.
"Instead of thinking about these messy things, how about thinking more about how to deal with the lord's punishment?"
After a long time, Xue fought back.
"Have you already assumed that I will fail? It's only been a day, not to mention that I can't have a clue so quickly."
"In other words, there is nothing to do on the first day."
"...I said, how about you give me some advice?"
"In other words, is this a disguised interrogation of me?"
Snow glanced at me with her slender eyes, and I instantly felt a chill sharper than the north wind.
What a keen response.
"...if you can."
Now that everything has been seen through, I don’t want to get nothing, so in order to increase the possibility of agreement, I added:
"In return, you can also ask me a corresponding number of questions."
"...I'm not interested in you, but this arrangement is fair."
"Is this considered an agreement?"
"No matter what, I want to get rid of suspicion as soon as possible."
Snow's answer was as straightforward as if she had prepared it in advance.
"..."
"..."
After a brief silence, I smiled bitterly and scratched my head.
"To be honest, I haven't thought about what to ask yet, haha..."
"...In other words, you are so simple-minded that you can't find any direction at all?"
Wow, this person's "other words" are so annoying!
"...How about you tell me what your mate-making ability is first?"
"...It's [Shadow Doppelgänger], which can change the physical appearance. The premise is that the body shape of the person being changed is similar to mine, and the gender must be the same."
Wow, that means...
My eyes unknowingly moved down more than ten centimeters from Xue's face.
Can you adjust the size at will...
"I know what you are thinking. In other words, if you don't stop your vulgar thoughts, I will call the police."
“Hey~~I don’t even have the right to freedom of thought~~”
"...By the way, I would like to remind you that the Lord Lord and the Wanderer Alliance have information about the ability to find a partner. It will be much easier to find them than to ask them one by one."
"That's it, thank you very much."
Snow gave me an extra piece of information.
"..."
"..."
"Are you done asking?"
"Hmm...let me think..."
I threw the slightly deformed paper airplane in my hand.
"..."
"Has the child been found?"
I am asking knowingly.
"...I sent her to the right place."
"Well, then the last question - how did you know my name last time?"
"...A well-intentioned person once warned me, 'Beware of a stalking pervert named Gu Lao'."
"Well... the truth feels so boring."
"It's boring just because it's the truth. Is that what you want to ask?"
"After all, I really can't think of any other questions."
After hearing my speech, Xue sighed lightly, not hiding her disappointment.
She seemed to think my question was of little value.
"I think you should be ready to accept the punishment from the lord."
"I hope the lord can be lenient...Okay, it's your turn to ask me."
Xue stopped and I saw the hotel on the right.
To be continued...
