"Your mother?"

Arashi sat up straight and looked at Betty earnestly. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info This was the first time he had heard the word from her, and it wasn't that she had a mother, but why the other party suddenly wanted to see him.

Betty stretched out her right hand and made a gesture to move, "Let's talk in the living room, this is not the place to talk." ”

"Good. ”

When the two sat down in front of the sofa, the dim light on the wall shone on the faces of the two people sitting opposite each other, reflecting mottled silhouettes. Betty, who was holding the book in her arms tightly, suddenly leaned down and said seriously: "Although it is very presumptuous, before you meet your mother." In order to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings, I would also like you to listen to my brief introduction. ”

In response to her unusually solemn request, Lan straightened her body, looked at the other party at eye level, and nodded in response, "Please speak." ”

"My mother's name is Aegie Donna (Note 1). Betty, who bit her lower lip and said this, had a complicated expression full of nostalgia and sadness on her face, "You may be a little unfamiliar with this name. But you've probably heard of her other name, the Witch of Desire: Agidona. ”

"She, is that your mother?" Arashi frowned slightly, he remembered that the witches must have been killed by humans four hundred years ago, then Betty......

Seeing Arashi's reaction, Betty's heart relaxed slightly, she was really afraid that this person would make drastic moves because of her mother's identity, after all, she has lived in the human world for four hundred years, and she knows best the fear and fear of the world for witches.

"Yes, Mother is a very gentle person, maybe a little like to play tricks on people, of course only a little......" Betty gestured with her thumb and forefinger to make a small gap, "but she is really a very kind and gentle person, I hope to meet her later, you don't be rude to her because of the rumors, otherwise I will ......" Even with the book in her arms, Betty clenched her fists tightly.

"Rumors of the destruction of the world?"

"That was done by Shatila alone, and it has nothing to do with her mother...... Betty slammed up from the couch, but she held back what she wanted to say, took a deep breath and sat back on the couch and continued, "I'm sorry, I just lost my temper." ”

"It's okay, I said something I shouldn't have said. Arashi shook her head, "She's the most important person to you. I can understand your feelings!"

Betty, who calmed down, hesitated for a moment and said, "I'm not human. She met Arashi's gaze at her, and in those turquoise blue eyes there were butterfly-shaped pink pupils, completely different from humans. "In fact, I am an artificial spirit created by my mother. ”

"You've probably heard a lot of stories about elves from Amilia, in the beginning, as micro-elves, although we can't look at people on weekdays, we can see through their hearts in front of humans who can communicate with us. ”

"Any lie will be exposed in front of us, and when it is created by my mother, I can feel the warmth of her soul, like sunshine. In addition to playing tricks on people, she is a person who will be sad because of the bird that has lost its life. ”

"That's all there is to it, please understand anyway. Mother, she's not a human being who would do such a thing as destroying the world. ”

An astonishing stubbornness erupted from her small body, and Betty leaned down again, her exaggerated curls falling to her side, slightly blown by the evening breeze that leaked in.

"I understand, no matter what your mother wants me to do, I will treat her as an ordinary person and communicate with her seriously, please rest assured. Calmly accepting Betty's salute, Arashi hopes that through this gesture, the other party will also believe in his assurance.

"Really?" said Betty, looking up.

Arashi nodded, and said in a serious tone: "To be so loved by my own child, I believe she will be a good mother." ”

"Thank you. ”

Through the observation of getting along during this time, Betty also somewhat understands Arashi's temper, this young man who seems to be out of tune, has the character of sticking to the end once he makes a promise.

Betty, who was somewhat relieved for the next meeting, placed the book in her arms on the coffee table lovingly, untied the tight buckle, and put her little left hand on the top of the cover.

The incantation that came out of his mouth gradually condensed into a dazzling light in his palm, which slowly disappeared into the black book. After casting the spell, Betty nodded at Arashi and said, "It's okay." ”

After saying this, Lori lifted the hem of her skirt to look at the book, then got up and walked towards the door.

Regarding Betty's behavior, Arashi couldn't help but ask curiously, "Where are you going, don't stay......"

Betty stopped her steps and raised her head desperately with her back to Arashi, her slightly unstable tone revealing that the master was trying to control her emotions at the moment, "Mother said: she wants to meet you alone. ”

Do you see what I mean?" Arashi frowned.

The black book turned quietly after the girl left, and the pages full of words turned quickly, and when it stopped at one of the pages, a bright light shot out from the pages.

The books that should have been spread out on the coffee table stood up automatically, focusing the bright light on the sofa opposite where Betty had just been sitting.

Then a figure gradually appeared in the fading white light, this is a very beautiful woman. The long hair revealed on the chest was as illusory and pure white as snow, and a black headband was wrapped around one of the bunches, and a beautiful and simple knot was tied along the ends of the hair.

On the clear and beautiful facial features, what is even more noticeable is the eyes that exude the brilliance of reason, like the starlight in the dark. When the simple black scholar's robe with the same style as the headband sets off the girl's graceful figure, it also shows her own temperament vividly, which is a kind of extreme beauty that anyone who looks at it will be fascinated.

The girl who had just appeared first glanced around, then exclaimed at the night scene outside the sliding door: "I haven't seen it for four hundred years, and the real night sky is really even more fascinating." ”

"I'm very sorry. The girl looked at Arashi, who had been silent in front of her and was not surprised by her appearance, and said, "Because I haven't left Dream City for too long, it seems that I haven't come back yet." ”

"It doesn't matter. Arashi shook her head, casting an inquiring glance at the other party. The other party's weak appearance at first glance seems to be difficult to associate with the so-called witch.

"It's a faux pas, I haven't introduced myself yet. The girl slammed her left hand on the palm of her right hand, coughed twice, and said in a pleasant voice: "My name is Agidona, and I call myself the Witch of Desire, do you understand?"

"Betty has already explained it to me just now, so what are you looking for me with the rumored witch?" Arashi motioned for the other party to continue.

"Ahh Agidonna had a look on her face that I had expected wrong.

"Sure enough, the hand that pulled us into this world is your masterpiece......" Arashi raised his eyebrows and said flatly, he promised Betty that the meeting would end on a smooth note.

"No, no, you're mistaken. Agidonna smiled charmingly, her eyes twinked mischievously, and she said with some kind of bad intention to share the excitement of the people: "I just decided on a candidate for my sisters, and by the way, I came up with an idea!"

"Candidate?idea?" Arashi was a little puzzled by the difference, isn't it the same thing as helping the murderer to buy a weapon and killing someone?

"That's right. Agidonna looked smug, "It took me a lot of effort to confirm your departure time." ”

"Then why did you choose me. Lan still simply asked the answer he wanted to know, "What is your purpose in trying to pull me into this world." ”

"Because my sisters want someone who can really kill us and put an end to all evil. ”

"That's why I chose you, the unparalleled swordsman in the world, ———— Lan, a traveler from another world. ”

At this moment, Arashi understood why Ajidonna wanted to see her alone.
