"Annie, put this away for me. Remember to remind me to take it to the foundation tomorrow morning." Audrey returned home after a busy day and handed Anne the small box in her hand, which contained the children supported by the foundation.
, thank-you letters from young people, and some inexpensive but thoughtful small gifts.
"I know, miss, by the way, Viscount Penridax sent another invitation to the ball, which has been placed in your bedroom. Well, in addition, he also sent Susie an invitation to pet care.
..." Annie took the small box with both hands, and then said with a slightly strange expression.
When Audrey heard this, her expression suddenly became a little stiff, but she still nodded:
"I know, but I'm very busy these days. Let's talk about it next week."
"Okay, I understand." Annie nodded, turned around and left with the small box, while Audrey seemed to be relieved and turned back to her room.
"Audrey, are you back?!" Seeing Audrey come in, Susie stood up immediately. But what made Audrey a little embarrassed was that she saw a delicate letter spread out in front of Susie.
invitation.
"Susie, although this is just an invitation, it is very bad behavior to look at it without my permission!"
Audrey took two awkward steps forward, picked up the invitation, and closed it without even looking at it.
When Susie heard Audrey's words, she shook her head and said:
"But this invitation is for me! Mr. Penridax invited me to do nursing. Well, the nursing of those little people is much more comfortable than that of other veterinarians!"
"..." Audrey took a deep breath and stroked her forehead helplessly. She didn't know how to explain to Susie the strange remarks that might be caused by the behavior of Mr. Demon's clone.
Starting suddenly more than a month ago, Mr. Demon's clone began to become very strange, often doing some harmless but ridiculous things. For example, after helping Mr. Moon punish the vampire viscount last time, Mr. Moon had many...
He cast a strange curse that made others greet him politely when they saw him. This was not a big deal at first, but to Mr. Moon, a proud but unsociable vampire, it was not friendly at all.
There are also Xio and Forsi. I heard that Mr. Devil also provided help to them when they were investigating the Viscount Siford, but in the end, Forsi published seven short stories in just one week - Audrey didn't think that Forsi
Er Si will be so diligent!
As for Hugh? Oh! Poor Hugh! She was actually cursed with the terrible curse that the shoes would disappear when she wore shoes with a heel of more than two centimeters...
In addition, there is Mr. Star. Although I don’t know what happened to him, judging from his expression when everyone in the Tarot Club denounced Mr. Demon’s clone last time, he must have suffered some kind of "curse".
.
"Mr. Demon, please come back quickly, otherwise your clone may do something else..."
Audrey thought helplessly, although Mr. Devil's clone did not bring harm to everyone, and actually provided the help everyone needed, and even helped the members of the Tarot Club overcome their "weaknesses", but the use of
The means... Audrey felt that if it were her, she would definitely not be able to accept it.
"Fortunately, I have nothing to do with Mr. Devil's help recently." As soon as Audrey's thoughts came to this, her door was knocked, and then the voice of her eldest brother Hibbert came from the door:
"Audrey, I heard you are back?"
"Ah, Hibbert, what's the matter?" Audrey immediately stood up and opened the door, and saw a strange expression on her brother's face, as if he was hesitant to speak.
Seeing her brother's expression, Audrey immediately secretly released a mental comfort, which made Hibbert's mood stable and peaceful, making it easier for him to say what he wanted to say.
But then, she regretted it, because as soon as her eldest brother opened his mouth, he said——
"Audrey, did that Panridax send you a dance invitation again?"
…
On the other side, after returning home, Klein tossed and turned and couldn't calm down because Mr. Demon's clone had been acting so abnormally recently! At the end of the last Tarot meeting, it almost turned into a complaint meeting. Miss Magician even asked the Great Fool to
Sir, please check whether Mr. Demon's clone is really possessed by an evil spirit...
In fact, he also had some doubts about whether Mr. Demon's clone was out of control, but through observation above the gray fog, he was convinced that there was nothing wrong with this clone, but... well, it was a bit evil.
In fact, he was even a little happy to see this clone's behavior, but today, he couldn't sit still.
Because, things seem to have happened to me.
"If it is Mr. Demon, he will definitely not do anything extreme, but this clone seems to be a little out of control." Klein was partly worried, and the other half was making excuses for himself. After some mental construction,
He finally couldn't bear the throbbing in his heart and disappeared into the room...
…
In a not too luxurious two-story single-family house on Paisfield Street in the North District, Benson was facing a mirror and carefully applying the sap of the Donningsman tree from the southern continent with a complicated mood.
on the scalp.
This is a very popular specialty of the Southern Continent. It is said to be very good for hair growth. Of course, although his family is still relatively wealthy now, Benson will not spend money on this kind of thing. This bottle of tree sap is gram
Ryan's friend sent it.
Well, he just doesn’t want to waste it!
Just when the coldness of the tree sap spread on his scalp, Benson's spiritual sense was suddenly triggered. He turned his head suddenly and said vigilantly:
"Who...Klein?!"
The sound of his voice changed from alarm to surprise in an instant. Benson almost immediately lowered his voice to avoid attracting the attention of the servant.
"Well, it's me." Klein also saw Benson's state clearly at this time, scratched his cheek slightly embarrassed, and then said:
"I happened to be fine, so I came over to see how Melissa is doing."
"Everything is fine." Benson had forgotten that he was "fertilizing" the top of his head for a while. He took two steps forward excitedly, pulled Klein to sit on the chair, and said with a smile:
"The bicycle shares you left have appreciated very quickly, but I still retain my status as a government employee, which helps me understand Backlund's dynamics. Melissa's grades are also very good, and her tutor is the famous
Mr. Portland, he is the president of Backlund Technical University, but recently Melissa seems to be obsessed with those micro-powered cars. After coming back from school, she will tinker with those things in the room... By the way, I will do it now
Go call her, she will be very happy to know that you are back!"
Following Benson's rapid-fire words, Klein instantly felt that the sense of alienation he had not seen for a long time disappeared instantly and was replaced by a relaxed feeling. It was the feeling of a wanderer who has been traveling for many years and finally returned home.
but.
"I can't stop now." Klein thought of the news about the approaching war that he had just received not long ago, and forcibly suppressed the slack in his heart. However, with Melissa's surprise-filled voice, "Klein!
", his spirit softened again——
It’s okay to take a break once in a while…
