Although he expressed his willingness to cooperate with the witch through the handshake under the sunset, Shade still shook his head when he took back his hand:
"I'm sorry, I have my own things to do tonight. I don't know what you are worried about, but I won't give up the operation in the Moon Bay area until I find the diamond."
Having said this, Shade sighed softly, not knowing when he would find the [Simultane of Hope]:
"Let's make an appointment to meet again. I will go to the appointment. Although you are confused about my identity, doesn't at least Miss Vanessa admit that I am hers?"
The evening breeze on the river blew the two people facing each other in front of the railing, and the witch's hair swayed back. She looked at the serious young man in front of her and nodded. Although she had countless questions in her heart, she didn't expect Shade to really be willing to follow her.
She goes:
"Well, today is Sunday, and we'll see you on Monday morning. The time is ten o'clock in the morning, and you can decide the location."
"City Ship Museum."
"Even for me as a local, it's a weird location, but no problem."
Shade did not explain that he wanted to see the sunken ship deck, but reminded:
"[Light Worshipers Training Group] still needs to be vigilant. Madam, please also pay attention to your safety."
"This is what I want to tell you, Charlotte"
After a pause, she asked the man in front of her again:
"I don't want to call you 'Charlotte' anymore. What is your name? Don't tell me it's Charlotte."
The golden eyes looked at him, as if they were about to shine. Shade smiled:
"John Watson, I will still use that name for a while."
"You can tell it's a fake name as soon as you hear it. I'll see you tomorrow morning, Mr. Watson. If you don't show up, I will make it impossible for you to set foot in the Moon Bay area again. The Belindel family has such ability."
Although she said threatening words, she still politely said goodbye to Shade. Shade also wanted to ask her what on earth she saw on that piece of parchment that made her call herself a "pervert" so rudely just now.
", but the witch's face turned red:
"Hmph~"
Then she boarded the carriage again with the maid holding the crystal ball, but when she waved goodbye again through the carriage window, she hesitated and asked him:
"So you, you really, and the butterfly relic"
Shade understood now, and while complaining in his heart that the "Collection of Dice Stories" had leaked his privacy, he reluctantly responded:
"Didn't you see everything? Madam, this is my privacy. I don't remember you and I knowing that we can discuss this kind of thing casually."
Miss Belindel snorted again as if she was angry, waved goodbye, and then urged the carriage to leave.
Shade stood in front of the railing and watched the carriage leave. When he finally relaxed, he felt that today was a magical day.
【So, what do you think of this great witch? 】
she asked with a smile.
"She's funny."
(Little Mia is running.)
Sunday, night, ten o'clock.
The skylight fell from the fog layer at a high place, illuminating the round table of the parliament and the thirteen great witches surrounding it. As Adele Isabella, who was sitting in the "Time" seat, announced the end of the meeting, the witches' parliament began to move again.
A regular meeting finally came to an end:
"This meeting is officially over. You can go and take a rest. Girls, I wish you a good dream."
"Have sweet dreams, Miss Isabella."
A neat voice said.
"Oh, it's really tiring to have meetings at night."
Thirteen ladies stood up one after another, packing up the documents and belongings at hand, while chatting with the ladies nearby. Miss Carina and Miss Aurora chatted for a few words, while Megan walked towards Mother-in-law Cassandra and whispered
What are you talking about.
Soon, the great witches passed through the fog doors behind their seats and returned to where they came from. In the end, only the three ladies who deliberately packed their things were left in the suddenly quiet parliament.
Miss Bella Belindell glanced at Miss Sylvia, and Miss Benanis, who was sitting in her seat sorting out the pile of documents for the third time, said:
"Let Emma stay, I know what you want to ask, and she is also an insider."
As she said this, Miss Benenice and Miss Sylvia looked at each other and smiled. This expression made the fat-red birthmark between Miss Belindel's eyebrows tremble:
"She knows too? Oh, Vanessa, Emma, do you know what you are doing?"
The great witch, who had endured her fate all night, finally found the opportunity to vent her doubts. She put one hand on the table, stood up, and looked at them with what she thought was a stern questioning look:
"That's a man, you know that? That's a man!! Where did he come from? Why didn't you tell the rest of the council about his existence?"
"Don't be so excited, Bella, it's easy to get wrinkles. John Watson is my follower, as I said last time."
The female opera singer, who is still popular all over the world even today, held her face with her palms and sat there looking at her standing colleagues:
"I have never said that he is a female. You may not have noticed that I use gender-neutral personal pronouns. As for his origin, I once encountered a difficult relic, and it was he who saved Siris and me.
"
Thinking of being turned into a puppet and being tied up, and then seeing the puppet knight riding a cat saving her, Miss Benanis couldn't help but smile:
"That's a very helpful guy, and who's to say I didn't tell the rest of the council about him? See, didn't Emma know that?"
"Yes, Vanessa thinks this matter is difficult to accept at once, but she has never wanted to hide it for her whole life, so she plans to slowly let everyone in the parliament know. We know that gentleman very well, and he is very interested in the parliament.
There is no malice, but he has been helping us and has contributed to the matter of the chosen ones. You see, counting you, three people have already known about it. We originally planned to reveal it to Granny Cassandra first, but this
It’s not simple.”
The great witch of space also had a smile on her face:
"Sit down, Bella. If you are so unhappy, is it because he caused trouble for you in Yuewan City?"
Miss Belindel choked for a moment, and when she sat down again, she was too embarrassed to say that she had been rescued. The skylight filtering through the fog from a high place illuminated three beautiful faces, but the three people had two different thoughts.
"No, Vanessa's follower didn't cause any trouble and helped me a lot. Although he is not Gao Huan, he is very powerful. But that is a man, a man who ignored the witch's curse!"
The first half of the sentence is in a low voice, and the second half of the sentence is louder:
"Do you know what this weird existence means to us? The witch will no longer be special and pure, and his existence challenges the concept of witches! Are you confused, or has the world become crazier?"
Miss Benenice then spoke again, but her tone was more cold:
"Please calm down, Bella. I know his existence is surprising, but as I said, I don't intend to hide it forever. I just want everyone to accept it slowly. You are right about one thing.
, he is indeed a very capable person. This time I sent him to the Moon Bay area to find the unknowable relic [The Diamond of Hope] because he is very reliable. I know you still have many questions and confusions, why not
In this way, you can divine what he means to us."
Miss Belindel suddenly became even more angry:
"He has a special destiny. I have never seen such a person. I can't predict his affairs."
Suddenly he was startled, and then hesitantly looked at the expressions of his two colleagues:
"Wait a minute, special destiny. He won't be the chosen one, right?"
Miss Benanith and Miss Sylvia both laughed, and the latter even said:
"Yes, if you think so, it is really possible. Bella, anyway, he has been operating in the Moon Bay area recently, and he can be considered in your territory. How about this, you keep this secret with us first, and let him
Activities under your nose. After a month or two, if you still insist that it is necessary to let others know about this matter, we will not stop you."
This suggestion pricked the mind of the great witch of destiny. In fact, she had no intention of reporting Shade, but she was not sure about Miss Bernanise's attitude, and she really wanted to protect the common interests of the witches.
Of course, in order to show that she was a staunch "witch supremacist", Miss Belindel did not agree directly.
Miss Benenice made an expression that although she had no choice but to agree, her soft and sad expression was performed very well:
"Emma, how can you propose this? I thought you would support me. If you insist, this is the only way. Bella, aren't you curious about him? If everyone in the parliament knew about him,
, he will definitely not be able to move around in the Moon Bay area. Why don't you take this opportunity to study carefully what kind of strange fate he has."
"Why do I feel that you are working together to deceive me?"
Miss Belinder asked suspiciously. Of course she would not object to this proposal:
"It just so happens that I'm short of manpower recently. I can help you keep the secret temporarily, but Vanessa, I want to borrow his power."
As he said that, he remembered the amazing performance of "John Watson" in the afternoon. Although the Seventh Ring is enough to be called a backbone, the performance is still far beyond the normal level:
"While he is in Yuewan, if I ask him to do something, he must help. Of course, I will not harm him and will pay him."
"I promise you on behalf of Vanessa."
Miss Sylvia was the first to answer, and glanced at Miss Benanis with a smile. The black-haired space witch even said jokingly:
"Then for these two months, that handsome gentleman will be yours temporarily. I met him when I was in Green Lake. He is indeed a very capable man. Sometimes he is even too capable. Don't be too
Just be surprised. Oh, I have to remind you, you have to be careful when using it, otherwise some people will be heartbroken."
She used plural pronouns to describe her, but the witch with the birthmark between her eyebrows didn't notice:
"Heartache? Speaking of which, you two won't have anything to do with that man, right?"
The golden eyes were filled with doubts and some unnoticeable panic.
"of course not."
The great witches of earth and space shook their heads together, and their voices completely overlapped:
"What are you thinking? We are witches, Bella, you should be ashamed of your thoughts."
Miss Benenice explained again:
"It's Siris who has a crush on him. He is also an important member of the Golden Dawn now. Let him help you for the time being, but you have to protect his safety. If he is in danger, Siris will take the knife from Megan
The sage-level relic [Faded Memories] obtained there will go to Yuewan City to settle accounts with you."
"The Moon Bay area is very peaceful. Do you think Tobesk is everywhere?"
Although she simply stated the facts, for some reason Miss Benenice and Miss Sylvia laughed again:
"Yes, I hope the Yuewan area will always be peaceful."
