Night.

Although she believed that Goth's diligence must have a ghost, the girl was still in a good mood when she stood at the door of the theater in the Black Floating City.

The theater is quite avant-garde: it resembles a black pebble hanging in the air, and it is almost impossible to find a fulcrum without looking closely. The theater was originally designed as a mage to serve the upper part of the Floating City, and was sometimes open to the common people, but with the outbreak of war, the theater was closed.

【Architectural Miracles...... No, this floating city is a miracle in itself. Xiaowei sighed.

[Xiaowei, you say,] the girl asked with great interest, "How did it get built?" 】

"I don't know, maybe the great Lord of the Black has invented a spell that allows the earth and stone to expand at will," Xiaowei said, "I'm sure he has cultivated a kind of bamboo, which is as hard as metal. 】

【Is there a super bamboo bar instead of steel bars......】The girl knows that there are also bamboo bars on the earth that replace steel bars. This can partly explain the existence of these "high-rise buildings" in front of us.

……

On the flybridge at the main entrance of the theater, there was a surge of people who came to watch the performance—scattered mages and bustling ordinary people. Looking at the lively scene in front of the theater, the girl couldn't help but feel that the reopening of the theater actually had nothing to do with the imperial envoys, and the people in the city had been looking forward to this day for a long time.

"This way, please." Glancing at the note in the girl's hand, the doorman, whom the girl called the conductor, made a "go this way" gesture. A female receptionist immediately began to lead the way for the girl.

The girl wears the same red dress that Xiaowei wore when she first came to this world, and carries her parasol "Bright World" in her hand. Along the way, many staff members bowed to themselves.

[I can't see that this place hasn't been open for many years,] Xiaowei sighed, [Very capable. 】

But the girl's ominous premonition deepened.

"What's the show today?" She asked uneasily.

The receptionist didn't seem to be suspicious of her identity at all: "It's an excerpt from a song and an opera, dear lady." You will receive the schedule 10 minutes before the show starts. ”

[Opera ......] Xiaowei was shocked, [Indeed, only the best opera can be worthy of such a big theater. I don't know if they have good enough singers. 】

"I heard that one of the 'Apostles,' Lord Franbel Matthias, will also perform on stage," said the receptionist, "and I have recently succeeded the deceased Lord Betishanne as the Apostle." She seemed ready to formally introduce herself in front of people. You can look forward to it. ”

[The "apostles" are all mages," Xiaowei said, "What a group of people with personalities. Wait—what's wrong with you? 】

A wry smile appeared on the girl's face.

"Nothing," she said, "I just remembered something." 】

Franbel Matthias is one of the heroines of her original novel, and the girl now lives in the Gothic Mage's Tower in the same room that Fran once lived.

In the description of the original work, several heroines are all first-class beauty: I don't know what this Miss Fran actually looks like, how does it compare to her current self? The girl has nothing to do, and the so-called hearing is better than seeing it......

"This is it." Suddenly, the receptionist stopped.

Seeing the box, the girl's expression froze.

"Are you sure it's here?" She turned to look at the receptionist.

"An adult has given me a special advice." The receptionist bowed to the girl and left.

It was a small box above the side of the stands. It can only accommodate four or five people at most. In fact, two or three people can use a private room to avoid being crowded.

[Why do you have that expression?] Xiaowei said dissatisfied, [I said in advance that I am not allowed to use my body to make any strange appearances. If you don't have etiquette......]

[Okay, okay, okay.] I know. 】

The girl sat down slowly in the box, staring at the stage diagonally below. If Goth had watched the play, he would have been able to get a better position; Of course, with his eccentric temper, it is not impossible to choose such a remote and quiet place to stay alone. Here's the problem...... Who will come and share this box with themselves.

[Isn't this place good?] It's quiet. Xiao Wei said sullenly, "Why are you so dignified? Are you worried that someone else will come? Rest assured, this is a place for John Goth, one of the 'Apostles'. Even if there were other people, they must be nobles of some imperial legation, no matter who they were......]

Before Xiaowei's psychic transmission was finished, the door of the box was opened.

"Thank you," the girl heard a crisp and cheerful female voice thank the receptionist, and the footsteps came from far and near, "Goth, I'm sorry I'm late—huh......?" ”

The owner of the voice was aware of the girl's presence: "Wait. Who are you? What about Goth? ”

“……”

The girl sat in her seat and did not move. I knew it, she thought it, I knew it......

Never take any advice from John Goth. Even if he wasn't lying, he would never tell the whole truth.

The master of the voice was dressed in a washed silk half-sleeved tunic with red ornamentation and dark gold trim that shimmered in the light; Light-colored slim-fitting trousers and dark gray boots are not often seen on women, but she looks very decent when she wears them; Her sky-blue eyes are like clear lake water, with the power to penetrate people's hearts, and the smart golden ponytail and the sword at her waist add a bit of heroism to her.

"Your question is rude, dear miss," said the maiden, without even glancing at the woman behind her, "and I don't think it's a polite greeting to ask a stranger, 'Who are you?' ”

An air of embarrassment began to spread in the box. Fortunately, the aristocratic girl resolved the embarrassment in time with a hearty laugh.

"You're right. It's me who was so presumptuous......" she stepped forward to apologize to the girl, "I'm sorry to offend you." ”

[She looks like a high-ranking nobleman of the Empire,] Xiao Wei whispered in her heart, "Let me talk to her - wait a minute, why don't you give her a replacement?" 】

[Thank you.] Here I want to come by myself. The girl replied. Absolutely, the other party is the character of his own pen. Just let yourself handle it.

"It's all right," the girl said, standing up and bowing, "I'm being too harsh...... Peace be upon you, Your Highness Venerable Caterina. ”

Herself is the heroine of the original story - well, one of the heroines. The girl is well aware of Katerina's experiences and temperament.

Katerina Greccia...... Her Royal Highness the Princess of the Grexia Empire.

And this time it was Linna's turn to be surprised.

"You know me?"

"I've never met you, but I've heard of you." The girl's attitude is still neither humble nor arrogant.
