After working intensively on "Saving Igura from Happiness (Top Secret)", everyone left Ash's room.
But just as An Nan pushed open the door, he happened to see Igula's golden hair disappearing around the corner of the corridor.
Ash was surprised: "Igula didn't work overtime tonight?"
"Why would he still work when he's about to become Belldette's son-in-law?" An Nan said in a low voice, motioning them to follow him: "Our chance has come."
They followed all the way to the atrium on the second floor. Because the manor was located above the second-floor city, there was nothing blocking the way. The night sky was bright with twinkling stars. The pale yellow light was several meters thick. The makeup was layered and the rouge was heavy, turning the artificial gardening into a romantic curtain.
The gardening maze was the best cover. When the funeral group was halfway there, they heard Igula's voice coming from inside: "Sorry, have you been waiting for a long time?"
"No." Anfil's excited voice was filled with an undisguised smile.
"Um?"
"No, it's just that my sister told me many times that you are a psychic and must have a lot of experience in relationships, so I was told to be careful of you, but you are much more nervous than I thought."
"Ah? What's wrong with me?"
"No, it's not about appearance, but I can feel it." Although they were just listening to the voice, everyone seemed to see a girl with narrowed eyes and a smile: "Mr. Igula, you are just a person who is strong when facing strong people and weak when facing weak people. When facing your sister, you will be super calm and smart, but when facing a fool like me, you will be at a loss."
"How can anyone call himself a fool?" Igula also laughed: "The fools I have seen never call themselves fools."
…
"I'm talking to you, Harvey." Ash took the initiative.
"I'm an idiot," Harvey said calmly, "It's your turn to prove yourself."
A fool will never say that he is a fool. Conversely, a person who says that he is a fool is not a fool.
Ash said without hesitation: "I'm stupid."
At the moment Ash spoke, Annan, Liz, and Harvey simultaneously turned on the recording function of the Gospel.
"Okay, recording is complete." Harvey looked at Ash with 'pitying' eyes, as if to say, "It's hard for you to come out and prove yourself."
"Is this bullying? This is definitely workplace bullying!" Ash gritted his teeth and said, "I'm going to complain to Gospel!"
"What are you guys doing here?!"
Everyone looked back and saw the blue-haired girl appear behind them. She had her hands on her hips and was staring at the funeral office angrily, like a boss who had caught her employees slacking off.
"We didn't work overtime tonight, so we can go wherever we want." An Nan asked, "What are you doing here, Yilin?"
"My sister is on a date, so of course I have to eavesdrop and check what's going on!" Yilin made the shameless statement in a matter-of-fact tone.
"You don't trust our 'good friend' Igula Bogin!" Annan was 'shocked': "I feel sorry for Bogin even though I have to be monitored on a date! No, I must persuade him and let him know your true colors!"
"An Nan, why is your acting still so bad?" Yifalin said with disgust: "You look like you deserve a beating."
"Then come and hit me. Do you need me to kneel down to compete with you? After all, with my height, it would be like hitting you like a fire hydrant from the second floor."
"An-Nan-"
"Wait." Banji felt very strange: "We are all so noisy, why are people still chatting normally inside?"
“Hehe, did you think I didn’t expect you guys to come and make trouble?” Yilin raised her eyebrows. “Not only is there a silent miracle barrier here, but after Igula came in, the gardening here started to move, and the inner and outer mazes are completely isolated. Now not only can we not get in, but they will also get lost if they want to get out. We can slowly cultivate our feelings!”
"So what should they do when they want to leave?" Ash asked curiously.
"I will be eavesdropping nearby, and when I think they can end their date, I will press this button." Yifalin took out a controller: "Then the gardening maze and the silent barrier will be lifted."
"Of course, you can also destroy the facilities here to ruin this date, but the damage caused... I hope you can afford it."
This is actually a multiple trap. If Zang Yi dares to destroy private property, Yi Falin will be able to get a new employee!
"Oh~" An Nan nodded: "What a meticulous arrangement... Hey!"
Yilin nimbly avoided Annan's snatch, "Monster! I knew that you, Annan, are still as rude as an orc."
"You can hide just like the goblins!" An Nan gritted his teeth and looked at the people behind him: "Why are you standing there? Come and help me!"
"You want to bully the few with your numbers?" Yilin said with a smile, "Without weapons and without the ability to attack with magic spirits and miracles, I also want to see how you can deal with me, a two-winged fist and claw magician."
"Don't damage the gardening nearby. The most you can do is strengthen yourself with a magic spirit miracle." Pan Ji reminded: "Miss Yifalin came here alone to provoke us on purpose and induce us to damage her family's property."
"Do you like the starry sky?" asked Igula.
"I like it very much," Anfill said. "Looking at the starry sky, I feel how insignificant I am, and those daily troubles become insignificant. I am most easily shocked by two things, one is the magnificent starry sky, and the other is the perseverance of the characters in the legendary deeds. The brilliance of human nature is as dazzling as the stars in the night sky."
Harvey pounced on Efrain, who jumped lightly and nimbly, causing the necromancer to fall flat on his face.
An Nan and Ash attacked from the front and back, and the blue-haired girl slipped under Ash's armpit, causing the two men to bump into each other.
"Mr. Igula must have been to many places, right? Have you ever had any thrilling adventures?"
“Yes, there are, but the content is not very healthy.”
"That's great. I love dark and true adventure stories."
"Are you craving adventure?"
"Yes, I have loved reading adventure stories since I was a child, but the farthest I have ever been is to other cities. The only place where I can adventure is the manor... My favorite adventure story series is about finding traces of ancient civilization in the wilderness far away from the city. Mr. Igula, have you ever had such an experience?!"
"When you are robbing your fellow thieves, you find out that the place where you are trading in the wild was once the dining hall of the ogre tribe hundreds of years ago. Does this count?"
"ヾ(≧▽≦*)o Black eats black!"
Banji seized the opportunity and pounced to hug Yifalin's legs. Yifalin did not panic at all. He pressed his body forward, lifted his legs upward, and while struggling smoothly to break free, he kicked the butler's chin hard.
But at this time An Nan also rushed over and tried to hug Yifalin. Yifalin let out a soft "devil" sound and spread her legs - only then did Ash realize that she was wearing safety pants under her skirt - and then her legs spun like a windmill, directly tripping the purple moth!
"Monster~" Yilin laughed disdainfully, flipped twice in a row, and landed proudly like a champion -
"uh-huh!"
As Harvey groaned, Elin, who stepped on the necromancer, fell flat on her face. The controller in her pocket flew out and hit a pair of small feet.
'Liz', who had been watching the show, blinked, picked up the controller and handed it to Ash.
"By the way, let's coordinate our statements first! I'll go back and tell my sister that I'm very satisfied with you, so you can take the initiative."
"Why?"
"Um?"
"Why are you helping me like this?"
"It's not really helping, after all, I'm very satisfied with Mr. Igula and I'm not lying. And Mr. Igula, you're being threatened by your sister, so what I'm doing can at least give you more room to maneuver."
"Threat? But this deal is my own—"
"If there are only two options, 'Let me like you' and 'Be a servant of Beldette for life', it can't be called a free choice." Anfil seemed to be turning the teacup with his head down: "But I also know that my sister has her own ideas, and Mr. Igula has your own goals. After all, your positions are opposite. I am just wishful thinking to postpone the time when your conflict breaks out."
"But...you and my sister are both smart people. Maybe if you delay a little bit, you can find a way to achieve mutual benefit and win-win situation. Hehe, the worst that can happen to me is that I will be scolded by my sister. I will accept the loss."
"Ash, good opportunity!" An Nan rushed over and hugged Yifalin's calf.
"Ash, you dare!?" Yilin threatened like a little tiger.
Xavi was treating his injuries from being trampled, while Panetti, who was hit on the chin, was still in a dizzy state.
Ash looked at the controller in his hand, thought for a moment, turned around and threw the controller towards the center of the garden, where Igula and the other man were.
"Let's just forget it."
The cult leader clapped his hands and took Liz back.
