Chapter 825

In any case, the seventeen-year-old girl had to continue to follow the red-haired witch to learn the way of balance, among which the "Order" series of spells and strange arts were the key content. But Xia De's course was not so smooth, because since confirming the relationship with Dorothy and Lei Qianya, Xia De had never successfully attended any Saturday night class.

The Princess and the writer lady seemed to treat Saturday night as a fixed date time for Xia De and them. Therefore, even after Xia De expressed his willingness to learn how to obtain the "Power" spiritual rune to complete the connection of the last sublimation word spiritual rune of the fourth ring, the girls still planned the activities of Saturday night in their own way:

"I don't think 'Power' is in a hurry. After all, no matter how hard we try, Xia De, you will definitely get help in the past time."

The girls gave such a statement.

Lei Qianya cannot stay out overnight outside Yodel Palace often, so she didn't know what method she used to persuade Dorothy to lend her body, allowing her to stay at Saint Theresa Square No. 6 using Dorothy's body.

This is a very strange behavior, especially for Xia De. Holding Dorothy's body and calling Lei Qianya's name would make him have an illusion that he is a scumbag.

【Isn't it?】

And every time he had this thought, this question would appear in his ear.

Whether it was Lei Qianya or Dorothy, they felt that this kind of body swapping to make life more convenient was very normal, and there was no distortion of ethics and morality at all.

"If one day, I suggest that Dorothy wears my clothes and I wear Dorothy's skirt, that is when we might be out of control. Now, isn't this very normal?"

The Princess said as a matter of course. Seeing that Xia De still wanted to persuade them not to do this again, the red-haired girl using the blonde girl's body asked Xia De which body he preferred... so Xia De could only shut up.

It's just that Lei Qianya also complained to Xia De privately that Dorothy's physical fitness is really unsatisfactory. But there is no way, Lei Qianya has received strict royal lady training since she was a child, proficient in rapier, horse riding, etc., which belongs to part of the basic course. And Dorothy is an ordinary commoner girl, and the writer profession after adulthood does not need to exercise physical fitness. Even if she became a supernatural being, most of the strange arts are biased toward summoning and enlightenment. Therefore, although both are five rings, the gap in physical fitness between the two is quite large.

The reason why Dorothy agreed to Lei Qianya's request is probably because the writer lady finally took a successful step in her career while harvesting satisfactory friendship and love. Because of the release of "Hamilton Detective Stories", she has now become a popular celebrity in the city. Although "Steam Bird Daily" is only sold in the western part of Delarion, "Hamilton Detective Stories" can be bought in the entire Old Continent.

In just one week, the sales of her new book exceeded the quarterly sales of the best-selling popular novel "Marian's Secret" this year. Dorothy herself was called "The Golden Rose of Delarion's Popular Literature" in newspapers such as "Tobesk Morning News", "Steam Bird Daily", and "Three Penny News"—later Lei Qianya told Xia De that this had something to do with Dorothy's father, Professor Lu Yisha's fame.

There are even rumors that Dorothy may become one of the winners of this year's Delarion "Golden Feather Literature Award". This is not an award where hundreds of people win together, but a truly heavyweight award in the Delarion literary world. But the writer lady herself doesn't care much about these honors; she enjoys the process of writing and gathering materials.

"Of course, although I don't care about that kind of honor and have no intention of getting entangled in the vanity fair, if I am really nominated, I will also take on the responsibility of inheriting and developing Delarion's popular literature, and..."

She saw Xia De, who was wearing formal wear, holding back laughter at the other end of the dinner table at "Bonister Restaurant", and reached out to hold his hand quite reproachfully.

Dorothy's new book's success naturally couldn't be without the help of Detective Xia De Hamilton. And as a reward, after Xia De proposed the request to watch their diaries during dinner that day, Dorothy and Lei Qianya discussed for half a week and finally agreed.

Of course, they only opened part of the diary to Xia De, and some content still belongs to the secrets of the ladies. But this is enough for Xia De. In his spare time from intensive study, being able to have such interesting reading material, the Outsider finally found something interesting besides Luo De Pai in this era.

As for Luweiya, after the matter of the Chosen One of Death ended, she chose to rest for a period of time like Xia De, and after Iluna returned, the three of them went to watch an opera and enjoyed a sumptuous dinner. But it was only a week. One night after she and Xia De returned to the city from the opera house by carriage, the purple-eyed girl indicated that she was going to start the investigation work for the next Chosen One:

"The preliminary investigation will still be conducted by me."

Luweiya said, took off Xia De's coat in the bedroom, and pushed him onto the bed:

"Before there are new clues, you can continue to enjoy the city life of Tobesk at the turn of autumn and winter. Although I didn't complain about your relationship with Dorothy and that Princess, I still hope that they didn't let you indulge in the game between the beds... Detective, don't forget that you still want to participate in the skip exam at the end of the year. Not only the second-grade courses, but you also have to take exams for the third-grade courses."

"I have already borrowed from the library..."

Those purple eyes looked at Xia De against the moonlight outside the window:

"Now, do you really want to discuss these?"

Of course, Xia De did not forget to visit Grace and Helen. The girls' recovery was very good, and because most of the power of the Red Butterfly was sealed, they didn't have to worry about their own disaster power affecting the city, so they could walk and stroll together in Midhill like ordinary people.

Although they had experienced the years of two eras, whether it was the girl in the white dress or the girl in the black dress, their personalities were still like children. Of course, Grace, as the older sister, was relatively mature. Xia De toured Midhill in late autumn with them, and even took advantage of the night to climb Mount Xikar, which was gradually opening, to see the giant tree on the top of the mountain together.

Somehow, the mountain top lake had returned, and the giant tree stood on the island in the middle of the mountain top lake. Even in late autumn, the lush canopy covered most of the lake surface.

Under the tree, the Red Butterfly girls closed their eyes and made a wish, then kissed Xia De on the cheeks on the left and right:

"Let's go to the top of the tree to see the moon together."

With a blushing smile, Grace and Helen turned into a group of flying red butterflies, fluttering among the trees under the moon. Xia De also turned into a group of butterflies, flew to the canopy with them, and looked at the brilliant starry sky on the top of the canopy under the moon.

The intertwined butterflies flew toward the star sea. The story that began after the banquet in 3014 of the Fifth Era did not seem to end. They still had a very long story to write. For example, the twins planned to find a way to Saint Theresa Square No. 6 before winter to see Xia De's life:

"If you have clients there, we can even temporarily act as detective assistants to help you receive those people with interesting stories."

Helen suggested with a smile, and finding a way to Saint Theresa Square was not difficult for them. The great witch Grandmother Cassandra had already begun to look for relics.

Although 【Traveler's Travel Door】 is a relic with unique attributes, spatial movement is not the exclusive ability of this relic.

In short, after the Chosen One of Death came to an end, the Outsider enjoyed his leisure time in this world very much. There was no need to work for a living, and there was no need to worry about the poems of fate. It's just that every time he woke up in the morning and found that the girl on the pillow was different from the previous days, he would have a sense of guilt of "how did I become such a person", but then he would be teased by "her" in his ear:

【Outsider, no one will ever be unchanged. At least, you only changed in this regard.】

Studying hard, or receiving clients, or hanging out in the city, accompanying Dorothy to gather materials or going to the Prophet Association to find Luweiya for divination, at least before Wednesday, the 13th of the Frost Month, that is, ten days before Priest Augustus returned from Midhill, Xia De's life was fulfilling and peaceful.

In two weeks, he took out an exquisite silver pocket watch from 【God's Gift Box】, as well as a bottle of perfume with a very good taste. The task of the pocket watch is to pray to God on time at seven o'clock every night this week; after the perfume was identified by Priest Augustus, it was confirmed to be just an ordinary item and was given to Luweiya by Xia De.

As for the task of the perfume, it was to let Xia De collect morning dew. This led him to raise two pots of flowers at home, which could be considered as adding new life to his home besides his Mia cat. But Mia did not allow Xia De to put the flower pots on the living room windowsill where it took a nap, so the two pots of flowers were placed on the balcony, and Xia De specifically asked "her" to remind himself to water the flowers often.

Of course, besides occasionally asking Dr. Schneider for knowledge about demons and Priest Augustus for knowledge about angels, Xia De also accepted three detective commissions other than "Mr. Hank's Haunting Incident" and "Baron Passos's Family Heirloom Medal". The cracking of the cases named by Xia De in the detective records as "Lewis's Giant Cat", "Cemetery Evening Bell Murder Case", and "The Missing 3rd Gold Coin" also made the reputation of Detective Xia De Hamilton spread again, and the detective's career was booming, and life seemed to be getting better and better.

But the peace will not last forever. After a short rest, on the 13th of November, the Frost Month, the arrival of a letter symbolized that Xia De's rest time was finally over.
