Riddle, hurry up and take away this cute demon in your house that will definitely not make people worry, I really wrote about the stomachache!
PS: Finally broke back the original distorted three views of Riddle, am I easy......
================================================
Holy Grail 5 (Reversed): Dependence and coquettishness.
、??? ・The secret land of the lake
、
Raising an eyebrow, Riddle raised his head from the paper in his hand, and looked at the door of the treehouse with his chin in one hand, his blue eyes narrowed slightly with pleasure, indicating that his owner was in a slightly bad mood at the moment.
"Won't you come in?"
Of course, this sentence is purely knowing.
Rub and rub and rub, probably knowing that some of his actions were inappropriate, a certain silver-haired beast that would always go straight to the target as soon as he entered the secret realm of the lake in the past, but at this moment he just timidly poked his little head through the half-open door, and looked at him with pigeon blood-red eyes and blinked, revealing obvious weakness: [Riddle is not angry? ]
Cautiously tentative tone, thinking about what is clear and clear.
Of course, as long as it's in front of him, his silent girl is always so simple and easy to understand, it's easy to understand at a glance.
"What should I be angry about?"
Because I wanted to tease it a little, I turned my face back and lowered my voice slightly, which sounded a little depressing. The blue eyes swept over the gaze, and it seemed calm because it was deliberately suppressed. (Celestial Voice: Riddle Your Lower Limit...... Cover your face silently)
It's over, and Riddle is still angry.
Resignation wailed in his heart, but with the idea that sooner or later he would die, Opal still moved into the tree house step by step, and then carefully stretched out one hand and grabbed the corner of Riddle's clothes, and found that he didn't seem to object, and the other hand immediately climbed up, and then tugged flatteringly: [Riddle, don't be angry, okay!] Opal was wrong......]
Soft and glutinous, with the magic of the coquettish taste, the fluctuations are gentle, as if it is a feather, gently stirring the tip of the heart, the emotions contained in it are completely cautious, and there is no disguised remorse and flattery.
There is no hypocrisy.
"Know it's wrong? Well? ”
As if by grace, he turned his face back to look at the flattering silver-haired girl beside him, and Riddle temporarily put down the pen in his hand.
[Yes, yes!] ]
The little head clicked quickly, the pigeon's blood-red eyes blinked, and the confessional look of "I was wrong" on her face made people once again feel that there was a big silver tail wagging behind her.
"Tell me, what's wrong?"
Raising his hand and half-covering his lips to cover the curvature of Wan'er, Riddle half-narrowed his eyes and teased his own "pet" with interest.
[You shouldn't rashly show your age-appropriate strength, you shouldn't be reckless and don't leave a way back, you shouldn't put yourself in a dangerous situation, you shouldn't worry about Opal, you shouldn't ...... Hmm......]
The more he talked, the more he felt that he was at a loss, and his voice couldn't help but get lower and lower.
From Riddle's point of view, it was a small silver-white head that drooped lower and lower, as if it was looking for a crack in the ground to bury itself, and even the ears on its head and the tail behind it drooped.
"What else ......"
[Hmm...... Opal couldn't think of it......]
It seemed that he was really poor, Opal looked timidly and gently shook the corner of Riddle's clothes, and secretly glanced at his expression, [but Riddle, Opal can promise that he will never do this again in the future, Rosemary's medicine is really hard to drink...... So...... So...... Don't get angry, okay......]
In the end, she just blinked her eyes and looked at Riddle with a "I'm wrong, don't ignore me" expression, biting her lip and not saying anything more.
“……”
Although I tried very hard to control my expression, I still couldn't match such a rare cute expression of my silent girl, and after pursing the corners of my lips, I still bent a small arc after all, "There is no next time." ”
God knows when he first learned the news, his heart seemed to return to the first frozen and dark period in an instant—if not for the news that she was all right.
After being exposed to the light that was not dazzling, and the warmth that was not scorching, the quiet darkness that was supposed to be a place of protection began to feel so lonely and unbearable.
When exactly did it start?
He didn't know, but by the time he realized it, his Silent Girl had taken such a place in his heart that he couldn't bear it, even if he thought about it.
[How can there be a next time!] ]
Opal immediately raised three fingers of his right hand and solemnly swore an oath.
"The oath should be left handed."
With a sweep of his eyes, he pointed out the sneaking and trickery of his silent girl, and Riddle rarely brought a hint of anger and amusement.
[Well, it's good if the meaning arrives.] Isn't Riddle angry? ]
The pigeon's blood-red eyes always paid attention to the emotions of the person in front of him, until he saw the familiar blue eyes with the gentle and light smile of the past, Opal knew that the alarm should have been lifted, but he still pretended to be well-behaved and continued to sell cute.
Anyway, Riddle seems to be pampering her, intentionally or unintentionally, although she feels that she is no longer a child, but since pretending to be cute is effective, then she will not be stingy with this kind of pretending to be tender - after all, Riddle's good mood is the most important thing for her.
"All the things are done?"
He knew very well how smart the person in front of him was, and said that if he knew, he must have learned the lesson and would not do it again, so Riddle didn't make much gestures, and as soon as he fished his hand, he let his silent girl sit in her arms as before, and then had a momentary trance for the soft body in his arms.
When did it start?
The child who could be held with one hand has grown into such an outstanding girl now, attracting the attention and attention of the people around her with her gestures.
The blue eyes darkened slightly when he looked at the still well-behaved girl in his arms, but they quickly returned to their original blandness.
[Well, of course.] ]
After mentioning the matter, Opal's attitude was unambiguous, [I have already sorted out the specific content into relevant documents, Miss Vivien is looking at it right now, and she should come over later.] ]
After a pause, she added, [As for the matter of the head of the house, I am also working on it, but because it has just started, the effect is not very significant, and it is conservatively estimated that the effect will not come out until around Christmas, and in general, it will not be surprising that the fourth year will be promoted to the head of the house.] ]
"When you're in your fourth year, Hogwarts will host the Triwizard Tournament with the schools of witchcraft and wizardry in Germany and France."
After a brief mention, Riddle was very satisfied to see that the eyes of the girl in his arms changed from doubts to abruptness and finally to thoughtfulness.
[…… But does it make sense? ]
Although he could probably think of some causes and consequences, Opal felt that there was no need to be so excited.
"It's just bait."
Although he had probably guessed what a certain mutant bee in Hogwarts was paying attention to, Riddle was still a little unhappy about it - anyway, after all, that guy used to be his own soul fragment, although it was no longer worth recycling and just happened to be reused, but he was still super unhappy that he was so calculated.
[Bait?] Does it have anything to do with Riddle? ]
Listening to the confusion and half-understanding, Opal finally gave up using his own brain, tilting his head to solve the puzzle.
"It has something to do with my other identity."
[Voldemort?] ]
"Hmm."
[Opal doesn't understand......]
Shaking his head to indicate that he was dizzy, Opal grabbed Riddle's sleeve and shook it gently, [I heard Riddle mean that Voldemort is Voldemort and Riddle is Riddle...... But before Riddle clearly said that Voldemort was Riddle......]
Isn't it annoying to go around like this! Riddle is just Riddle! Why do you want to change into another identity!
Opal said he was genuinely irritable about it.
"Heh......"
Looking at Opal, who was about to have mosquito coils in his eyes, Riddle found that his mood had never been better, and he couldn't help but flick her smooth forehead lightly, "Opal will investigate it himself." It's easy to deduce, I've already given so many hints......"
[Riddle bullies ......]
Although it didn't hurt, Opal covered his forehead and puffed out his mouth with a face of accusation. (Tianyin: Xiao Ao, you are enough, your festival Ao, don't sell cuteness on Riddle as soon as you pair it!) )
"Some things don't make sense to say."
However, Riddle was completely unmoved, and just watched the girl's gaze in his arms soften and soften.
Maybe it's really thanks to the subtle influence and brainwashing of that witch over the years, or the relationship between the different force fields after changing identities, in short, the power and power that he flocked to in the past, but now he doesn't have the slightest idea of wanting to master it again.
Apparently he was preparing to make a comeback and raise his Silent Girl to become the third generation of the Dark Lord.
The rules of survival in orphanages that lack food and clothing are relatively harsh, and the natural children who come out of it are deeply harmonious with the truth that the weak eat the strong, although they are good at covering up, but the innate strength shown will still make ordinary people completely rejected.
So it is conceivable that for the wizarding world that has accepted children who are different from ordinary people, the emotion of "liking" naturally arises.
Because he likes it, he wants to have it, and because he has never experienced the correct teaching and the living environment since he was a child, since he likes to have it, no one has told him that there is another way to do it except possession-Slytherin, which respects the bloodline and obeys the strong, has never been a good place to guide. Obey his men because of his strength, and never correct his thoughts.
So coupled with the influence of the split soul, the road ahead is getting more and more deviant, but unaware and even complacent - the fate of the first Dark Lord who is obviously in Germany is such a bloody example.
And when I really got out of that circle, I looked back and found that I was so narrow and ridiculous.
Therefore, after learning about the existence of soul fragments, he would think about reshaping a real "Voldemort" with the water, which was simply an incredible idea in the past, but now it is so natural.
Voldemort is dead, so the only one who is still alive is Riddle, who is not conspicuous but can really stand in the sun and accompany his silent girl to grow up.
For the obsession with the glory, power and power that belonged to the past, after all, I still let go.
And he doesn't oppose or even resent this change - that's the point.
Although he didn't want to admit it, the witch didn't seem to have made any mistakes or misjudgments since he knew her.
[…… Hmm, got it......]
Forget it, Riddle doesn't want to say it, she doesn't believe that with her current ability, she won't be able to find out, [Riddle is waiting for good news from Opal!] ]
Clenching his fists, Opal cheered himself up.
"Good boy."
The kiss that falls on the forehead is as light as a butterfly's wings, and in the softly lit room, the scene of a large and a small person relying on each other is so warm.
"Ahem, I said that you two want to show affection and look at the occasion a little, okay?"
But it's clear that there are some people who are born to spoil the atmosphere.
"This is my house."
The posture didn't even change in the slightest, and Riddle said lightly.
The implication is that this is my territory, you outsider should give me as far as possible, don't be an eyesore here.
"Ah, if I'm not mistaken, this is my 'Secret Land of the Lake'."
Holding the door frame with one hand and looking full of interest, although I didn't enter the house very well, it was obvious that someone could be driven away with such a light sentence.
"It's easy for me to move out, don't call if you can't find anyone."
"Tsk, Riddle, you're getting less and less cute...... It's a miracle that your Opal hasn't grown crooked until now. ”
Touching her chin, Vivien tugged at Opal, who was nestled in Riddle's arms with a large doll, "Opal, come out for a moment, I want to talk to you about your last letter." ”
[Anything about the awakening of the Dracoqi bloodline?] ]
Opal, who had to speak out because he was named, rubbed it in Riddle's arms without a trace a little helplessly, and then jumped down slowly, [It's good to say it here, I don't think there's any need to hide it from Riddle.] ]
"That's true, but ......"
After glancing at Riddle, who seemed to be completely unconcerned and just casually playing with Opal's long hair, Vivien sighed, "Forget it, since it's your choice, then I won't object." Since that kid from the Malfoy family has awakened the bloodline of the Qi clan, he has the qualifications to enter the 'Secret Realm of the Lake'. But again, it must have been tested by the usual illusion before entering. If you can't get through......"
[Will it die?] ]
"No, it's just that he will probably overdraw his life force and live no more than 40 years old - just like his ancestors. As a Qi clan, we will not allow our awakened bloodlines to flow outside and cause a bad impact. ”
The content of Vivian's words made Riddle stunned for a moment, and then remembered his former friend and subordinate Abraxas Malfoy, whose death was caused by the "dragon wart virus", but he knew very well that his friend, although his private life was very aristocratic, was not a person who would be careless enough to contract this disease. Now it sounds like the root cause is because he didn't pass the test of the "Secret Realm of the Lake" back then?
[What about timing?] ]
But Opal apparently didn't have any particular thoughts on it.
"You can start at any time, but the time decided is next summer, so if you pass the test, you can start the follow-up training immediately."
At this point, Vivien glanced at Riddle, "I just don't know how long it will take that kid to pass the training course." Riddle was over in just two weeks. ”
"Which one do you mean?"
As if thinking of something, several black lines popped up on the back of Riddle's head.
"No, which time could it be?"
Vivien smiled back.
[What?] ]
Opal was confused.
"Your record is three weeks."
After seeing the question marks on the girl in his arms at the moment, Riddle hooked the corners of his lips and prompted.
[Ah...... So that's it? ]
Opal also remembered after the prompting, but then she puffed out her mouth and turned to Vivien, with a look of indignation, [Miss Vivian, you lied to me again!] You told me that you were the necessary training to take over the Cappadocia family! ]
Otherwise, she wouldn't be so desperate!
"Well, wouldn't it be good if the ultimate goal was achieved?"
In this regard, Vivien just spread her hand and shrugged her shoulders, smiling like a **, "You yourself have benefited a lot, haven't you?" I just don't know how long it will take for that little guy you found to pass the test. ”
[Is that test just for the Qi tribe?] ]
Pouting, Opal suddenly spoke.
"Of course not, all those who are eligible to enter the secret realm of the lake have to undergo this test."
Rolling her eyes, Vivien looked at Opal with a slightly amused expression.
[But I'm not impressed at all......]
Opal tilted his head with a look of confusion, [So, what are the principles for passing the test?] ]
"Of course, it will not harm the interests of the Qi people...... Drink, little one, you're getting cunning. ”
After subconsciously answering, Vivien immediately reacted, but after facing Opal, who was grimacing at her, and Riddle, who was warning her with his eyes, she finally just shook her head and smiled bitterly, and then turned to leave, "Okay, that's all there is to inform, don't disturb you and the one in your family who loves each other." ”
[Huh?] ]
Opal was completely confused at the moment - her instincts told her that Vivien had come to her for more than that, but why didn't she say it?
"Leave her alone, I guess it's her bad taste that has flare up again."
Riddle patted his little head in his arms.
[Oh!] ]
The response was unexpectedly well-behaved, and then Opal jumped off the ground, showing his usual big smile, [So, Riddle accompany Opal to dinner, it's already noon, Opal is hungry!] ]
“…… Good ......"
Led by his own silent girl to the place where the Tree of Life was served, Riddle thoughtfully recalled Vivien's obvious remarks—probably only Opal would have thought that the witch had been inadvertently tricked, right?
It will not harm the interests of the Qi people...... Is it?
Vivien, are you continuing this to warn me about what to do next?
