Whispering Verse

"Oh~"

Irregular work and rest habits always give people a headache. When Shade vaguely felt someone pulling his hand, he realized that it was time to get up.

It took more determination to open his eyes today. Shade only vaguely remembered that he fell asleep at four or five in the morning, and the time at this time was seven o'clock in the morning on Wednesday.

"Mia~"

Shade complained softly, but in his heart he was actually complaining that he had played too late at the banquet.

"Meow~"

But the cat's voice seemed to come from a relatively distant place, and among the cat's meows, Shade heard the young girl's laughter.

When he opened his eyes, he saw Tifa standing beside the bed with a smile and looking at him:

"Xia De, Miss asked you to have breakfast."

"us?"

Shade, who was in a daze, was startled for a moment, and then suddenly sat up from the bed.

The early morning sunshine shines in from the window of the guest room on the third floor of Carina Manor. The warm sunshine in early winter still brings a pleasant warmth. Snowflakes piled up a thin layer of snow on the windowsill, and Shade, who had excellent dynamic vision, could still see that snow was still falling outside. Although the manor's courtyard cannot be seen from the bed, there is probably a layer of snow in the courtyard.

The bedroom was quite warm. Little Mia was lying on the window sill, looking at Shade with "eager eyes", and Shade was obviously not alone on this bed.

He vaguely remembered that after midnight last night, he played the "sheep herding game" with people in the garden in the snow, and rowed with Agelina on the reopened Schluch Lake. , and finally participated in a sword duel that was somehow held on the second floor of the manor, that is, a safe duel after putting on heavy armor and using a blunt sword covered with white dust.

After completing the test of "strength, wisdom and charm", Shade also rarely relaxed. Except for not drinking excessively, he participated in almost all subsequent activities.

He could no longer remember the bizarre memories and scenes of flashing lights everywhere. I only remember Agelina holding up the hem of her skirt to say goodbye to him, and remembering that Princess Margaret almost laughed unladylikely after seeing Shade's cat "chasing" the cats in the manor - those who foraged for food at night. The cat climbed onto Shade's shoulder and was seen by Mia.

The last memory about the banquet was that the two witches were standing by the window looking at Luoxue Manor under the fireworks, while Shade was sitting on the sofa looking at the backs of the two beautiful ladies.

After the banquet finally ended, a few people stayed at the Lakeview Manor. Miss Sylvia followed Princess Margaret back to the manor where they stayed, and Shade left with Miss Carina, accompanied by... .

"Oh, is it dawn yet?"

The red-haired princess on the left complained with her eyes closed, regardless of Tifa still standing beside the bed:

"I don't want breakfast. Please don't wake me up before ten o'clock."

As he spoke, he shrank his smooth neck into the quilt.

"I won't have breakfast either."

The blond writer lady on the right said as if she was dreaming. Her beautiful blond hair was scattered on the white goose down pillow. The morning light outside the window shone on the pillow, making the bright golden hair really shine. Dorothy was not completely awake yet, otherwise she would never speak so relaxedly if she knew Tifa was standing beside the bed.

"last night......"

[Do you need me to help you recall it? 】

"No no no!"

Shade immediately responded in his heart, completely awake at this moment. The Day of the Red Butterfly begins yesterday afternoon when the two girls officially met at the Peace Church. Of course, they would not waste time, so they followed Shade to Miss Carina's manor last night.

"Shadow, are you going to have breakfast?"

Tifa asked softly again, as if she didn't find this scene strange at all.

"Yes, go right away."

Shade felt a little embarrassed, but the cat on the windowsill had jumped down, waiting for Shade to get out of bed and take it to have breakfast.

After receiving Shade's answer, Tifa turned around and was about to notify the kitchen to prepare Shade's portion, but then she stopped and looked at the girls who were sleeping with their eyes closed on the bed.

She returned to the bed again, leaned forward slightly and kissed Shade.

After letting go of him, he pointed to the girls on the bed, then raised his finger to signal Shade to be quiet, closed his left eye and blinked at Shade, and then left with a smile.

"Um......"

Shade felt that the maid must be in a good mood now.

In short, he did not leave Miss Carina's manor all morning, but talked with the big witch about the fourth chosen one.

Wait until noon before leaving with Lesia, Dorothy and Agelina. Agelina also spent the night at Miss Carina's manor last night. Shade also saw her at the breakfast table, but he was not sure whether the little princess knew where his sister slept last night.

The second "Red Butterfly Day" has officially ended. Miss Writer and Her Royal Highness the Princess feel very satisfied this time, and Shade will continue what he is doing after returning home at noon on Wednesday.

First, he wrote a letter and sent it to Miss Sylvia, inviting her to discuss the paper he wrote in order to get a chance to meet Miss Sylvia normally next time.

Afterwards, I went to Fort Midhill from the basement, left a letter at the Home for the Blind, and made an agreement with Sister Devlin to go to Huntington to visit the Lady of the Lake tomorrow morning.

After finishing these things, I went around the black market in Cold Water Port, Fort Midhill and Huntingdon City. When I got home, it was already Wednesday evening.

Because I didn't get enough sleep yesterday, I was still yawning when I walked out of the basement. The snow in Tobesk had stopped at this time, because the ground temperature was a bit high and there was almost no snow on the streets. The dim light of the setting sun shone into the house from the window on the first floor. Mia, who had taken a full nap, happily jumped down from the stairs to greet Shade. The rays of the setting sun left streaks on his orange fur.

After returning home, Shade took Mia to the Prophet's Association to find Luvia for dinner, and explained what happened at Lakeview Manor yesterday at the dinner table.

Of course it's not a matter of divinity, but a matter of the chosen one and the five [Wise Man's Pyroxene].

"So that's it. I heard about what happened at Lakeview Manor last night in the association this morning, and then received a letter from Iluna. However, when she arrived at Lakeview Manor, the matter was over."

Luvia held a fork with purple cabbage on it:

"Speaking of which, the chosen one must have appeared at Lakeview Manor yesterday."

"Yes, but there were too many people who showed up at Lakeview Manor yesterday, and it would not be easy for the church and the witches to check them."

Shade said, wiping his mouth with a napkin:

"However, do you still remember the 'Miss Pavo' I mentioned? The sixth-ringed sorcerer of the Truth Society, this lady is suspicious. It's not because of her special power, but because she actually has the ability to work in both Huntington and Tobesk. Met me. Judging from past experience, the chosen ones will indeed meet me often."

"This is just a hypothesis and needs to be verified."

Luvia nodded slightly, but did not intend to waste the coins:

"As long as I see the chosen ones, I can immediately identify them. Since this happened in Tobesk, I think it is necessary for me to meet the lady in person."

"That's fine."

Shade said that he did not ask Luvia how she planned to find Miss Pavo, but believed that the purple-eyed girl must have her own way. On the road of pursuing the chosen one, the three of them cooperate with each other. Shade does not think that he has to do everything by himself.

"Luvia, what I need to confirm now is, do we need to collect [Wise Man's Pyroxene]? If we need to collect it, I can discuss it with Miss Carina. The first trial is to find the invisible ones in Tobesk City. How one should proceed."

"I'm going to confirm the identity of the chosen one. You can figure out a solution for the pyroxene, but there's no need to be too anxious, because..."

Luvia said softly and looked around:

"Now the church is not sure who the chosen one of wisdom is, but they already know about the cooperation between the Apna Library and the Truth Society, so they know about the wise man's pyroxene. Iluna told me that the church plans to collect it first Pyroscope, because the 'Wise Pyroscope' can only be given once, so once there are clues, the church plans to let Iluna be the one to get the pyroxene."

Shade smiled:

"Iluna can get the pyroxene found by the church and the pyroxene found by the Witch Council. I can also think of some ways to prevent them from falling into the hands of people who shouldn't have them."

"Yes. Therefore, what we need to be wary of are the movements of illegal ring sorcerer organizations such as the [Truth Society]."

The purple-eyed girl nodded and whispered:

"The test of wisdom and knowledge cannot be solved by brute force. There are many things that need to be considered."

Luvia pondered, and Shade felt little Mia squatting on the high stool beside him, tugged on him with her paw, and then continued to lower his head to handle his food.

The girl with purple eyes smiled and inquired again:

"Knight, what did you do at last night's banquet? All day long, the guests of the Prophet's Association seemed to be talking about you."

"They talk about me? Oh yes, the card game I had at the manor last night was awesome!"

Shade took a sip of red wine with a smile on his face:

"Want to tell me about the final game? The two special cards interacted with each other, and the last came first. This is really an interesting game."

Luvia held back her laughter and said:

"No, no, no, Rhodes only accounts for a small part. They said you were the 'King of the Banquet at Lakeview Manor' last night."

"Ahem..."

Shade was choked:

"What?"

"You asked interesting questions, horse riding, riddles, darts, Rhodes cards, etc., etc., won so many banquet games, and danced with the beautiful girls of the royal family at the ball. Rumor has it that you even let That Margaret Anjou took a great interest in you and even held your hand to prevent you from leaving. Oh, big boy, what did you do last night?"

She was holding the wine glass, leaning forward slightly, and her smile made the dimples on her face more obvious.

"It's all because of the mission."

"Whose mission?"

Shade thought about it, MI6 asked him to get close to Princess Margaret, Gray Gloves asked him to protect the princess, the Lady of the Lake asked him to prove himself, and Miss Danister asked him to get close to the Guiding Moon.

"Different missions for four people!"

The bottom of the palm of his right hand is against the table, the palm is raised, and four fingers are stretched out.

"You're always so busy."

Luvia sighed, and little Mia thought Shade was playing with it, so she pressed her furry paws on Shade's palm. The cat's claws were very small, and the look on Shade's palm was ridiculous.

The purple-eyed girl shook her red wine glass:

"But that's okay. Life is so colorful, and little Mia is here. Although you can't use the dark door in the basement, we never have to worry about you losing control."
