Chapter 1943

~10 min read 1,870 words

Even in the current special state of "multiple bodies in one," the girl with red-gold hair still unexpectedly discovered that her strength was still no match for Xia De in his normal state.

"Why is there such a large butterfly wing tattoo on your back?"

Although the gorgeous butterfly tattoo was quite eye-catching, it did not fit the temperament of Rhesa and Dorothea. Whether it was the intellectual and elegant female writer or the princess of royal descent, neither had such a tattoo on their back.

He thought of a terrible possibility and incredulously raised his hand to press on the tattoo. The girls who were arguing intensely in their hearts just felt a shiver:

"Um... this is a normal phenomenon in our merged state. Yes, that's it... there's not enough time, oh, I'll put on my clothes myself!"

Saying that, she snatched the clothes from Xia De's hand and patted them onto her body; the clothes seemed to come alive and put themselves on automatically.

She almost jumped off the bed, then stumbled and almost fell, but still put on her shoes quickly, not forgetting to say goodbye to Xia De:

"Knight, tonight was really nice, you should rest quickly too. Good night, I wish you sweet dreams."

Saying that, she raised her hand to cut off a part of the bed sheet, then grabbed the piece of cloth and flew out of the bedroom as a red butterfly. When she brushed past Luvia, who was holding a teacup in the corridor, Luvia looked back in surprise:

"Xia De... no, not Xia De, it's them. Why are they running so fast? Could it be that Xia De wouldn't let them leave?"

Saying that, she also looked at the half-open bedroom door.

Xia De in the bedroom of course did not chase; he stared dumbfounded at the open bedroom door:

"Wait, who exactly was I with just now... was it not just them?"

He didn't dare to think any further, and in his panic, he asked in his heart:

"Why didn't you remind me just now... I mean, you should have been able to feel who it was just now."

"Her" laughter was still as gentle as ever:

【Regarding your first question, you said a long time ago that it's best if I don't suddenly speak up at such times.】

On one hand, it was to prevent him from being startled, and on the other, it was to keep himself sounder.

【Regarding your second question, do you really want to know the answer now? Besides, weren't you very happy before you got the answer?】

Xia De opened his mouth:

"Actually, by answering like this, haven't you already told me the answer?"

"She" continued to laugh in Xia De's ear, as gentle as the moonlight illuminating Xia De's cheek at this moment.

Suddenly, Xia De felt a gaze with strong emotions watching him again. He turned his head abruptly, his eyes skipped over the unimportant wardrobe, and he saw the cat's glowing eyes in the dark night:

"Meow~"

"It's not midnight yet... do you want a midnight snack?"

"Meow~"

The cat was indeed much easier to understand than the girls.

【Is the cat girl in between?】

"What kind of strange thought is that."

Xia De waited until he calmed his inner panic before putting on his clothes, then got out of bed, opened the window, and picked up little Mia:

"Besides, what is a cat girl?"

"Meow~"

"She" was just laughing; although the laughter was pleasant, Xia De really didn't know what it meant.

When he left the room and came to the corridor, he happened to see Luvia leaning against the wall with a teacup, looking like she was waiting for Xia De:

"Let's go have a midnight snack together, you should be hungry too..."

There was definitely a teasing smile in her purple eyes:

"Tell me, Xia De, how does it feel? You've done something that no one has done in thousands of years... do you need me to praise you?"

"Actually, your normal reaction right now should be to cry and beat me, or take little Mia away and say that after we separate, the house and the cat belong to you, and the debts belong to me."

"What strange things are you saying? And, did you default the client's cat as your own cat again?"

She still couldn't hide the smile on her face.

Although it was close to midnight, most of the girls in the Green Island hotel had not rested yet.

The kitchen had been taken over by Tifa and the maids she brought, so there was no need to go to the hotel in the city for a midnight snack. When Xia De and Luvia came to the first floor, Miss Galina, Miss Bernice, Miss Sylvia, and Miss Aurora were sitting together talking.

The bonfire in the center of the first floor was burning vigorously, but it didn't lick the ceiling and didn't produce black smoke. The atmosphere looked very good, and the great witches also greeted Xia De and the other to come over and sit down.

"Grandma Cassandra has already gone to sleep, and Megan and Audrey have just gone out with people following Sister Daifulin to confirm the situation of the sky boundary at the top of that giant tree."

Miss Bernice said; they were not sitting at a square table, but at a long table that could just seat six people. Xia De and Luvia sat together, with Miss Galina on Xia De's other side and Miss Sylvia on Luvia's other side.

The midnight snack prepared by the maids was fruit, cheese, freshly baked cookies, and black tea. Xia De at the table didn't see the runaway "Red Butterfly" here, and the witches didn't seem to see them either, so he suppressed the strange feeling in his heart and asked about the travel plans of the great witches.

The first to leave should be Miss Galina:

"I will leave after confirming that Angelina has awakened."

Saying that, she looked upstairs with a strange expression, but Xia De did not understand her expression at this moment.

"It's probably just a matter of a day or two. During this period, I will help handle some things on the island. We will meet in Tobesk soon, Xia De. Oh, just thinking about having to report to the Kingdom Parliament and give a public lecture after returning to Tobesk gives me a headache."

"Galina, you are already quite leisurely. Xia De, you saw Margaret at the birthday party just now, guess where she went now?"

Miss Sylvia asked, watching Xia De feed cream finger cookies to the cat that was lying down very nicely:

"Two hours ago, I opened a portal directly and sent her to the return train. Galina has autonomy, but Margaret doesn't. Calculating the time, she should be staying up late writing reports in the train carriage now."

Saying that, she also smiled:

"Margaret said she wanted to say goodbye to you, but Galina told her not to go, unless she wanted to fight with Princess Rhesa."

The ladies at the table covered their mouths and chuckled.

"I will return to Willendale City with Sylvia, that should be next week."

Miss Bernice said:

"The Golden Dawn Opera Troupe's performance, the last show is on Sunday; this is already scheduled and cannot be changed."

Saying that, she also held her face and looked at Xia De, but there was no sorrow on her face at all:

"Siris originally planned to take the troupe directly to Tobesk after spring began this year. But because of the invitation from the Anjou royal family and Margaret becoming my apprentice, we went to Willendale first. Now that things have come to an end, we should be able to reach Tobesk this summer."

"Really? Oh, the Golden Dawn Opera Troupe hasn't been to Tobesk for many years. If you are going, please tell me in advance, and I will send the invitation letter. It can also be considered as proving that friendship still exists between the two countries in this eventful era."

Miss Galina said, and Miss Bernice also nodded with a smile.

"Then what about Miss Aurora?"

Xia De asked again, and the witch with long brown wavy hair thought for a moment:

"I will probably stay longer. Megan and Audrey need help handling things on Green Island. I let Hailey go back first to help me handle business, and I will probably leave next month. Megan and Audrey should stay longer. I heard her say this afternoon that she even considered moving the headquarters of 'Paradise Island Pharmaceuticals' here, which would also facilitate the development of that island in reality."

"This idea is good. The water transportation here is quite developed, and it is located at the border of the two countries, which is also convenient for business in the north and south. Except for being a bit far from the west coast, which is a disadvantage for expanding business in the New Continent, it has almost no shortcomings."

Miss Sylvia commented.

"Then, Green Island will really become Paradise Island."

Luvia also said:

"You say, Megan and Audrey named their industry 'Paradise Island', did they ever think about returning to their hometown one day?"

"It should be a nostalgia for the hometown that only appeared in her father's words. Although she herself has no sense of belonging to the family, after all, she originated from this island."

Xia De said, looking at the witches sitting in a circle:

"Time flies so fast; it's only been two months since I first came to the Green Lake area. I don't know when we will be able to sit down and talk together next time."

"At the current progress, I'm afraid that will be in midsummer."

Luvia said, and the other four great witches also nodded with a smile. Miss Galina even said:

"When everything ends, I mean when everything is over and the epic of the 'Whispering Poetry' is completely finished, I want to invite everyone to my palace in Saladir County to attend a banquet together. It's much livelier there than here."

"Are you saying this place is shabby?"

Miss Aurora asked for Megan and Audrey, who were not here, but she also laughed herself:

"Yes, there will be such a day, we are all looking forward to that day."

Everyone drank tea and ate snacks. After waiting for a while, Xia De thought of another thing:

"Come to think of it, there is one more thing I want to ask for your help with."

He took out his deck from his pocket, flipped the first card, which was the Angel-level relic 【Poetry Card】, to the front, and placed it on the table.

Except for the cat eating, everyone else looked at it.

At this time, the card face was blank, representing that this relic had not yet been activated.

"That Angel-level relic? He gave you this too? I really find it hard to evaluate Laplace Howard."

Miss Aurora said cautiously, and Xia De nodded:

"I want to use this to call upon an ancient witch to ask some things... about the future of the world."
