"Did I guess right?" Summer Night asked.

"Sister Summer Night's guess is right." Lillian honestly admitted, "I wanted to wait for our relationship to become more familiar before looking for an opportunity to make my wish, but I didn't expect you to be so sharp, and it was guessed in less than a day." ”

"It's not your problem." Summer Night said, "Just because of what I did in the past...... Work makes me better at reading through a person's thoughts. ”

"So is Sister Summer Night willing to grant my wishes?"

Summer Night didn't rush to answer.

She stood up from her chair, her hands propped up on the table, and leaned forward, looking down at Lilian who was sitting across from her. Lillian couldn't see her head, only the bright red section of her white neck, and she suddenly felt palpitations for no reason, and her petite body couldn't help but tremble for a moment, and then lowered her gaze in some panic.

"Think about the story I just told." Summer Night said kindly.

"I understand, Sister Summer Night." Lillian replied very obediently, "Actually, now that I think about it, for me, my powerful mother was my first 'king', but she was a kind king, and although she refused me to go with her, she at least gave me a proper placement. ”

"You're right, I've found that you're smarter than you seem...... Many. Summer Night affirmed.

"Hmph, that's not a compliment." Lilian puffed out her cheeks: "So, what kind of 'king' is Sister Summer Night?" ”

"I'm not a good king, but I'm not a cruel king either." Summer Night stopped looking down at Lillian and slowly sat back in her chair, "I like to reason with people whenever I can, but if they don't like to listen, I don't mind using other means."

"So, I'll give you two options:

"The first option, as I suggested before, you don't ask me your wishes for the time being, I will still stay in Debussota for a long time and will not leave for the time being. You can stay by my side and be my friend, and I will also find a way to help you so that you are no longer so weak. By the time I am leaving, you may still be the same as you are now, but you may be strong enough to travel into the Aether Sea on your own, and then you will make your wish to me. ”

"Then the second choice is to propose my wish to Sister Xia Ye now?" Lillian asked.

"That's right, you can ask now: take you with me when I leave the city. I promised that if I could do it, I would do it. And 'taking you with you' is certainly within my reach, so I'll grant you your wishes. Summer Night replied.

“…… Hey?! ”

Lillian's eyes widened when she didn't expect to hear such an answer, but then, as she was smart, it occurred to her that things must not be that simple.

"But ——?" She asked tentatively.

"That's right – but the way you make it happen, you probably won't like it too much." Summer Night said.

“？？？”

"After all, traveling with a living person is too much trouble, and maybe it will cause me unexpected dangers. So before I leave, I will kill you, take your cup out, and keep it with you. In this way, it can be regarded as fulfilling the desire to 'take you around'. ”

"Huh?! This ......" Lillian covered her mouth, visibly frightened.

But Summer Night just sat calmly in her seat, not showing the slightest intention of hurting her.

"Summer, summer night, sister......" Lilian asked cautiously, "If I didn't ask anything just now, and directly put forward my wish in the future, would you just agree to it, and then wait until the time to leave, and ......"

"That's right." Summer Night frankly admitted, "Because I am a 'king', and not a good king." If you're foolish enough to think you can get anything out of me without risk, you'll end up like the people in the story who want to be queens. ”

“……”

Lillian didn't know if she should be glad she had escaped.

"But you're smart." As if reading her thoughts, Summer Night continued, "Question was raised to me, so I will also tell you frankly and give you two choices. Now, you can make your choice. ”

"What's the alternative? Pick the first one, of course. Lilian glared at the summer night, an undisguised look of annoyance on her delicate and lovely face.

- She had already discovered that in this regard, even if she did this, Sister Summer Night would not care.

Sure enough, Summer Night didn't get angry at all, but chuckled as if she thought it was funny.

"Very well, you made your choice voluntarily, and I respect your choice - you see, like I said, I like to reason with people."

"......" Lilian whispered in her heart that she admired Summer Night's ability to 'reason'.

"I have one more question." She tilted her head and thought for a moment, then said.

"Say it."

"Since I am a burden that must be 'dealt with' to Sister Summer Night when she travels, am I not a burden to Sister Summer Night, who is now in Debussota?" Lillian asked.

Summer Night thought for a while before speaking, "Although it's not now...... But after a while, it may become a burden for me, but in any case, it will not be as much of a burden as when I travel, and I am willing to bear it. ”

"Why?"

"Probably because the miscellaneous fish soup you made is delicious." Summer Night chuckled, "Just like the king in the story who spared her day after day in order to listen to Shanruzod's story - at least for these days in Debussota, I will consider you my friend." ”

Lilian could feel that some dangerous aura on Summer Night was fading. It's her instincts, and she's always been in this area, just as a weak creature has a keen instinct for a dangerous beast.

She knew that Summer Night had become her second "king". Although this time "The King" is more dangerous than her mother, she thinks that she will perform better this time than the last time.

"The fish soup is cold, I'm going to heat it up." She smiled, and was about to serve the pot with a small half of fish soup left.

"No, I'm full." "But if you still want to eat it, you can heat it up, and I'll accompany you to eat a little more." ”

"Then I'll clean up the dishes, Sister Summer Night."

Lillian said as she stacked herself and Summer Night's utensils and headed them towards the kitchen.

Summer Night also stood up, but instead of helping Lilian, she went to the window and looked out.

Night fell.

The pale yellow sky turned blue, there was no moon in the sky, but darkness did not cover the city, and everywhere as far as the eye could see, there were brilliant lights.

The night in Debussota seems to be more lively than the day, and the broom heads of the witches in the sky almost touch the broom tails of the previous person, forming a spectacular air jam.

I'm lying, Summer Night said to herself in her heart that I wasn't a traveling witch, and that I did everything I could to induce Lillian not to make a wish right now because I wasn't sure that I would grant her wish right now.

She repeated the facts to herself.

This is necessary, and the deceiver needs to remind himself of what is the truth at all times, otherwise it is easy to believe his own lies. And once it becomes like that, when the bubble of lies bursts, the deceivers who make the lies will also disappear along with the lies.

But the bubble of lies will burst eventually, and if there is only one way to avoid this, it is to turn the lie into truth.

My goal - Summer Night repeated again in my mind:

1. Find your head

2. Find out the reason for losing your head

And 3 more...... She decided to add one more goal to herself:

3. Become a truly powerful witch.
