Chapter 23: Night Talk

The sky was overcast, and there were six dragon carts side by side in front of Kluxiu's mansion, five of which were ridden by the villagers of Alam Village, and the last one was carried by Chu Xuan, Pleiades and Emilia, and everyone was ready to go.

"Miss Chu Xuan?" Wilhelm Road.

"Ah, nothing...... Lord Wilheim, it's time for us to leave and say goodbye. "I was relieved from my thoughts.

"So, goodbye, Miss Chu Xuan, and Mistress Emilia and all of you." Wilhelm bowed.

The journey back to the mansion went smoothly, and after rehousing some of the villagers of Alam village, they returned to Rozval's house.

"Ah—finally back—I'll go! What's going on! ”

Pushing open the door of the mansion, the Pleiades cried out in surprise, because the mansion, which had been thought to have been uncleaned for many days, was now completely new: the carpet was covered with the hallway, the carpet stretched out without wrinkles, and beside the upward staircase were expensive vases, which glowed with watery brilliance and were decorated with colorful flowers, and bright crystallized lamps hung from the ceiling, and chandeliers added to the original beauty of the crystallized lamps.

"Who's making the noise?"

The blonde maid, who was dissatisfied with the screams of the Pleiades, walked down from the second floor, the maid was much taller than Ram and Rem, and her physique looked closer to that of a man, her green pupils glowing like a feline aimed at her prey, and her mouth with white fangs exposed, it was just-

"It's scary!" The Pleiades screamed again after seeing the blonde maid's appearance.

“…… Mixed-race subrace. "I didn't care about it, I looked at it carefully.

"Mistress Emilia," the blonde maid walked up to Emilia's side, "It's me Fredrica who is not good, and I scared the Pleiades, and this is Miss Chu Xuan, hello for the first time." ”

"Hello, Frederica."

(I don't feel anything suspicious in the mansion, Frederica looks like a hearty girl, why haven't I seen this maid before?) ）

"Pleiades, this is Fredrica, the head maid," Emilia introduced, "but she quit her job and is back to work. ”

"Well, she looks ...... Seems to be quite capable of fighting? "The Pleiades have seen Ramrem's methods, and the maid in front of him knows that it is not easy to mess with just by looking at her appearance.

"What do you think, Pleiades?" Fredrica smiled and looked at the Pleiades, who felt a chill run down her spine.

"Alright, Pleiades, let's settle Rem in the bedroom first." I reminded.

"Rem?" Fredrica asked, tilting her head.

"Rem she...... Need bed rest," Pleiades turned to the place of the dragon cart, "Fredrica, please take me to the bedroom in a moment, I'm going to settle Rem there." ”

"Huh? Okay, okay. Fredrica seemed to have something in mind, "Lord Amilia, the mansion is currently understaffed, so I want to recruit maids from the villagers of Alam Village, what do you think?" ”

"This ......," Emilia looked at the renovated mansion and realized that neither Ram nor Rem could help, and that it was too tiring to hand over the work to Fredrica, "I think so." ”

"I agree, the number of maids is too small...... "I'm sure of it."

Now no one objected, and the matter was settled.

When the villagers of Alam heard that Fredrica was recruiting a new maid for the mansion, Petra decided to join her, and because of the drive and the lack of other candidates, Emilia hired her to the mansion for the time being.

In the evening, after saying goodbye to Emilia, Pleiades received my contact signal and hurried to my room to look for me.

"What is Chu Xuan so anxious about? Can't talk to Emilia? Coming to my room, Pleiades asked a little nervously.

When I heard someone's voice, I stopped what I was studying. Looking back at the Pleiades who were standing in front of the door with a bewildered face, he pushed his glasses and said lightly: "You're here!" There are some things to ask you. ”

"Calling you here so late has a few important questions for you, and it's about you. Don't get excited, listen to me before you express your opinion. I said.

"First, none of us are from this world, and we can't let anyone else know about this for the time being."

"Chu Xuan, I know, I haven't told anyone else." Pleiades.

"Second, about the mystery about you, although you can't say it directly, I also understand a little bit."

"What? What do you know Chu Xuan? Pleiades was a little surprised.

“...... From the time when I went from the mansion to the royal capital to meet with you, I was inexplicably transported to a different space on the dragon chariot. ”

"Alternate space?"

"That's right, it's been a short time to enter. Although it seemed to me to be a matter of an instant, it was during the day when I set out from the mansion to the royal capital, and it would have taken me a day to get to the royal capital when I came out of the other space, and it was already night. I also met Rheinharut, and the next ...... Do you know what's going on? After a pause, I observed the reaction of the Pleiades, and there was nothing special except curiosity, shock, and doubt.

[Did Ram not tell them about my going to the royal capital?] Or did someone deliberately let Ram hide it? 】

"Then a chill spread from Rozval's realm to the royal capital, and Rheinharut told me it was caused by Parker's loss of control. So he took me to the mansion, and I saw Parker, who had changed back to his prototype and was destroying everywhere...... You and Emilia's corpse ......"

"Don't rush to speak yet, I'm not done yet. Then a mysterious woman appeared, unable to see her face but making a voice that was exactly the same as Emilia's, and she said to me to go back. When I reacted, I don't know when I was standing in front of the fruit stand, and Rem was next to me collecting fruit. When I went to the royal capital, I saw you who were already dead, and you already knew what happened next...... So it seems that so much is happening that can only be related to you. I interrupted the priceticians and continued.

"Why, how do you know? Obviously I am the only one who knows about this, why ......" Pleiades looked at me in surprise, didn't stand firm for a moment, took a few steps back and almost fell.

"I'm not done yet...... I asked you a question directly during the campaign against Moby Dick, and you couldn't answer it. I had a conjecture at the time, but I wasn't sure at the time, and now you're going to answer my question. "Looking at the expression on Pleiades, I knew that I was almost ready to ask what I wanted to ask.

"What's the problem?" Pleiades asked, a little stunned.

"At that time, when I asked you the question during the Moby Dick campaign, why couldn't you just answer me? Is it because you don't want to say that you monopolize the credit? But you're not that self-interested, as you can see from how much you care about Amilia. Or is it because you, as a traverser, can't reveal your abilities? Or is it something to do with the mysterious woman? ”

For the first two questions, the expression of the Pleiades did not change. As if struck by my intelligence, when I asked the last question, my expression was similar to that of horror.

[Because you're a human being, are you afraid that your biggest secret is known to others? Or is there any punishment for someone else's secrets? No, I knew he was a traverser from the first time I saw him, and he also knew that I was a traverser, and if there was a punishment, he would have been punished, so what was he afraid of? Suppose that if the woman summoned the Pleiades to this world for some purpose, and the power in him was given to him by her, and he couldn't tell the secret words......]

The Pleiades were silent, bowing his head without saying a word, looking a little tangled.

"Third, and not only that, that mysterious woman is also related to you. You were summoned into this world to accomplish a certain purpose, and in order for you to achieve your goal, you were given a certain ability, and by virtue of this ability you have corrected things in the direction you wanted, but you cannot tell anyone about it. If all the impossibilities are excluded, the rest of the impossibilities are also the truth...... Don't look at me with an incredulous expression, anything is possible from the moment we are called into this world. I pushed my glasses, sorted out everything that had happened since I came to this world, and after careful analysis, I came to such a conclusion.

"Chu Xuan, what the hell are you ......" I could see that the pleiades were very shaken, pointing at me trembling all over, and words could not express his shock.

[In this way, it seems that you can guess eight or nine...... However, it is not clear what exactly Pleiades' abilities are, and is it directly changing what he does not want to see into what he wants. Is it a distortion of cause and effect? What about the conditions of use, restrictions? 】

"I'm sorry for hiding it from you. Because you didn't ask, I didn't say. Although it may seem like I'm the same age as you, I'm actually 24 years old now. I am Senior Colonel Chu Xuan of China's Longyin Base, a very secret military base that is not found on any map in China. The liaison and pendant I used to give you and Rem were my inventions, and I'm a scientist too. The reflection of the glasses exuded a cold chill, and I reintroduced myself to the shivering Pleiades.

"Is that so...... When we met for the first time, I felt that Chu Xuan, you are not like an ordinary person. Colonels of Chinese military bases? Chu Xuan, are you still a soldier? You also invented those things that were given to me? No wonder Chu Xuan before, as a girl, you were not like Emilia, you were not afraid at all in the face of Warcraft, Moby Dick, and the Witch Sect, and you were so strong. Although you seem to have other purposes, I believe you Chu Xuan. "After listening to my introduction, instead of doubting, Pleiades seemed to worship me more.

[There is no suspicion at all? They didn't notice that I was any different from ordinary people, they didn't ask me why I was injured in battle, they didn't scream, they didn't cry out in pain, they never complained. What mortal wisdom! That's fine......]

"So, can you answer my question now?" screamed as if he was in deep thought, and only then did he react.

"Ah, I'm sorry Chu Xuan, I was thinking about things just now. As you said, I do have the ability to fix things I don't want to see to what I want to see, but that's up to me...... I can't really say what exactly I'm capable of. Because ......" came back to God's Pleiades and looked at me with a serious face, as if he had made up his mind.

Say it and you will die, Pleiades silently added in his heart.

“...... Well, I see. If it's okay, you can go back first. I put on a gesture of sending off guests, but I had no choice but also didn't want to stay long, so I left in a hurry.

[Does the ability need to be activated by the person who has the ability to act personally?] Although it is still impossible to know what the specific abilities of the Pleiades are, the general situation has been verified, and there is not much difference from the conclusion of the reasoning. Well, it's time to ......]

Pushing his glasses, he didn't mind how cold the wind blew from the house at night, and slowly closed the window. Looking out the window for the last time, I said silently in my heart.
