Chapter 31: I May Have Met the Fake Karen
Time flies by, and the short three months are about to pass in an instant. There are only three short days left before the time of the festival, and although Yae Sakura has been trying to convince everyone and even gathering a lot of favorable evidence during these months, all of these efforts have been in vain.
With Erlang's legs crossed, Otto was sitting in the courtyard drinking tea at the moment. Otto prefers tea to alcohol, and this slightly bitter tea not only does not numb his nerves, but helps him concentrate better.
"What's wrong?" Catching a glimpse of Karen running back in a rage, Otto asked.
"It's not those villagers yet, what kind of attitude are they writing about! I helped them fight against the beasts in the forest, but they turned to me instead. After saying a long sentence in one breath, Karene picked up the teapot on the table and drank it down.
"Oh, really?"
"What is this? Why is it so bitter, it's a shame that you can drink it. Karen stuck out her tongue and spat out the bitter water that remained on it.
"You really look like a good friend of mankind"
"What do you mean?" Karene didn't react for a moment
“…………”
"Okay, you, I see Miss Kaiben has to teach you a good lesson today." Karen, who finally reacted, crossed her fingers and approached Otto step by step.
"What happened to you all of a sudden?" Posing as if he didn't know anything, Otto tried to control his facial muscles to make them look serious.
"Huh~?" Sure enough, Kalian, whose IQ is equal to Kiana, looked dazed
"Didn't you just tell me I was a dog?"
"Nope"
“……”
Speechless, she sat down beside Otto, and Karen held her cheeks as if she had something on her mind
"What's wrong? It's not like your normal you! ”
"Eh~ then what do I usually look like in your eyes," Karene continued casually.
"Heartless, heartless, and not very good"
"Forehead ......"
"Things are always lost, it's a girl's room, but it's messy......"
"It's too much, you," Karen's voice came through gritted teeth.
"But at the critical moment, I can still pass the test, and I am a comrade-in-arms worthy of trusting my back." Otto was a spirit, and hurriedly found the merits of Kalen.
"Uh...... And also...... He speaks nicely, and he looks beautiful......"
"Poof, hahaha. If you can't say it, don't hold on" Amused by Otto's behavior, Karen finally stretched out her furrowed brows.
"Na~ can you tell me, what are you worried about?"
“……”
"I always feel like the villagers and Yae Sakura are hiding something from me, and it's so unpleasant to be kept in the dark." Scratching her hair, Karin said.
Rubbing his right hand on Kalian's head, Otto said, "What's there to worry about, we'll know the answer in a few days."
Tearing off the groping hand that Otto had placed on his head, Karen quickly carried it behind Otto's back.
"Pain, pain, pain, what are you doing all of a sudden" Otto, who was captured, was powerless to resist, and could only be captured obediently.
"Do you know something?" Staring at Otto, Karen said.
What's going on, my Karen can't be so smart!
"What are you talking about?"
"Don't fool me, I've seen your actions in the past few months, no matter how stupid I am, I can find out that something is wrong."
After a long silence, Karen finally let go of Otto.
"Don't hide anything from me, Otto," squinted slightly, and Karen gave a terrible expression.
Sighing heavily, Otto explained, "You should know the legend of Yae Village, right? ”
"The fox god will bless the one who is in Yae Village," said Karen, after a moment's thought.
"Yes, in order to ensure that it will rain next year, Yae Village will hold a festival every once in a while."
"In other words, the people in the village are busy holding a memorial service," Karen suddenly realized.
"You can say that, but the sacrifice requires the sacrifice of the girl's soul."
The small wooden table in front of her was lifted, and Karen stood up with some excitement.
"Calm down, it's useless even if you rush out and make a fuss now."
"What needs a girl's soul, this is an evil god at all"
"Maybe it's not even a god, have you carefully observed the Honkai beasts that have appeared around you in the past few months?"
Karen looked dazed, obviously I could understand every word, but I couldn't understand it when it was connected.
"You mean it's caused by Honkai"
Hearing Kalian's answer, Otto looked at her with an incredulous expression, and he almost wrote "Are you a fake Karen on his face?"
"Then we must tell the villagers about this as soon as possible," Karen, not paying attention to Otto's eyes, pulled Otto up anxiously and wanted to run out.
"Slow down, what do you think Yae Sakura has been doing for the past few months?"
Stopping, Karen's expression was still stuck on the anxiety she had just had.
"It's always possible to communicate," Karian persuaded herself
"Don't waste your tongue, don't you know how horrible the brainwashing effect of religion and belief is."
"So what to do, why didn't you tell me sooner."
“…… Rest assured, I have my own plans. ”
"What is it? Why don't you discuss anything with me? ”
“……”
"Don't ask, I'll be able to figure it out." Otto didn't want to dwell too much on this matter, he coped with it casually.
At this moment, two figures in black cloaks came into Otto's eyes.
Seeing Otto's tense body, Karen looked at her suspiciously.
"It's members of Destiny, what are they doing here," the sharp-eyed Karen saw the crow masks worn by the men.
"Master Otto" and the two walked up to Slowly Otto, bending down to salute as a sign of respect.
"Did you bring anything?" After reconfirming the other party's identity, Otto asked.
"I brought it, but the head of the house wants you to go back as soon as possible, and he can not blame the past at this time." Beckoning the person to bring a metal box, the leader said.
"Got it, I'll be back in 3 days." Taking the goods, Otto replied. “
I see, please get things done as soon as possible" The cloaked man's voice was still indistinguishable, and he agreed without the slightest hesitation.
Although there is an 80% probability that you will not be punished, such a serious matter always needs a scapegoat. Then Karen who came out with him is very likely to be framed.
Turning his gaze to Karen, who was still unknown, Otto made a silent decision in his mind.
"If you dare to touch a single hair of Karen, I will make you pay a terrible price! It's time for the Mandated Bishop to change. ”
