As the passenger ship to Olavi Island slowly departed the dock of Nass, Matteo stood on the side of the ship, looking at Naas with a look full of nostalgia.

"What are you thinking?" The green-eyed lady walked up to him, "I asked for someone else, and she said you looked a little reluctant. ”

Mattio was stunned for a moment before he reacted, this parasitic person still retains a sense of self, which is different from the previous person's condition: "Esther said it?" It's not that I'm reluctant, it's just that I suddenly realized that I've done what she needs me to do. ”

Banabe tilted his head, and after a few seconds, he suddenly laughed: "Ha, she just realized this, it's so stupid." She said she could leave whenever she wanted, and she would tell you how the Messenger was summoned. You know how to perform ritual magic, right? ”

Matteo nodded: "If I think about it again, anyway, going to Olawe or Byam is the same for me." ”

Vika stared at Banabe's expression for a long time, and suddenly asked, "Where have I seen your tone of voice and this exaggerated smile?" ”

"Yes, I only introduced myself to her at the time. I'm Banabe, a talented gambler passing by, and I'm glad to know you, happy or not. Banabe, with the dimple female face, threw a wink at the two of them.

Vika's expression was instantly unsightly, and he quickly stepped back to the side, his back pressed against the fence.

He glared at Banabe in disbelief: "Aren't you a man!?" ”

Vika's worldview has been challenged one after another in the past two days, and in the area of gender recognition, it is already in jeopardy. First Matteo, and now the man with a cigarette in his mouth and betting against people at the poker table!

I don't know why Banabe was silent for a few seconds, Vika stared at him nervously, and then Banabe suddenly burst out laughing:

"Hahaha, that's how it is...... Are you planning to train your own extraordinary? Rest assured, Mr. Vika, this is just a part of the extraordinary world that is nothing to be surprised by. People have become 'monsters', and they still care about men and women. ”

Then Banabe tapped his temples: "Then tell me, this lady is in my head now, if I still maintain a male posture, wouldn't I be wronged by her?" ”

Matteo also gradually showed the same subtle expression as Vika: "So you are the one who took the initiative to become a woman?" ”

"Yes, I'm going to check out the ship's dining room," Banabe waved at the two of them, "are you coming?" Esther treats. ”

Because of the parasite on Banabe, Esther, who was lazily enjoying the "passenger service", suddenly reacted: "Wait, I said to help you pay the bill, that only calculates your normal expenses!" ”

Banabe retorted very happily and softly, "That's my normal expense." ”

Vika and Matteo glanced at each other, but followed.

——

At dusk, the passenger ship docked at the port of Olawe Island.

Esther was regretting, very much regretful.

She felt that Banabe was maliciously retaliating against her parasitic actions, and she shouldn't have promised this shameless bastard that she could help pay the bill.

He really spends money, all the food and wine are specifically for the most expensive, the waiter smiles, Vika and Mattio take advantage, only Esther gritted her teeth.

If it weren't for Barnabe's subsequent visit to the poker table and the return of several gold pounds to appease the wrath of the "parasite", Esther's resentment towards him would probably have turned into something substantial, into something concrete.

Banabe restrained his arrogance and skillfully used his current female appearance to make the other people at the table consider themselves unlucky, and there was no dispute over the loss.

But Esther was still upset, and she complained loudly in Banabe's head:

"Believe me, if the god of luck knew that you were such a person, he would spit on you just as viciously!"

Banabe plucked his ears twice: "Really? Then I'll just change the name, what do you think of the goddess of good luck? ”

"Whew!"

Following the flow of people on the deck, Banabe, Vika, and Mattio made their way to the dock.

But they didn't have long to go before they were stopped, and the tall man's back was slightly bent, as if he couldn't fully straighten up.

He has a very peculiar appearance, whether it is eyes, ears, nostrils, or even the corners of his mouth are not symmetrical. The arms are thick and thin, and the legs are long and short, and this very unreasonable anomaly is reflected everywhere in the man's body, making him look quite strange.

Before Barnabe could speak, Esther took over his mouth, lest as soon as the man spoke, Esther tried to control Barnabe's arm and punch him.

Esther kindly asked the man opposite, "Is there anything wrong with you?" ”

"I've been asked to welcome you here, saying there's a distinguished guest."

"Welcome, me?" This was said by Banabe, who raised his left hand and pointed to his face.

The man looked at Banabe hesitantly for a moment: "If you want, come with me, you can call me Kano." ”

Vika and Matteo looked at each other, but neither spoke, and they felt that the other was more credible than the one who had made them both wary.

It's just that Esther is still parasitic on Banabe......

Barnabe subconsciously wanted to refuse, although his spiritual intuition did not have any signs of danger, but since meeting Esther, he realized that his hunch had become less reliable, so he became more suspicious of the things around him.

However, Esther directly seized his "right to speak" and replied to Kano: "Okay, you lead the way." ”

Kano respectfully bent over the men, and then led them into an alley on the edge of the docks.

"Is that good?" Vika leaned over to Banabe's side and asked in a whisper.

The corners of Banabe's mouth were raised, but just as he was about to answer the question, Vika glanced at him, "I didn't ask you, I asked Esther." ”

Banabe snorted in annoyance, and after two seconds of silence, he replied to Vika: "It's okay, she said it." ”

Matteo interjected questioningly, "She must have said more than that, right?" ”

"Yes, she said that she had a strange premonition, but I can't explain this kind of thing that can only be understood by myself." Barnabe slapped his head twice as hard as if he wanted to throw Esther out directly.

Cano led the group through a few winding paths to the alley behind the church of San Draco, where there was a house with a whitewashed façade.

Kano rang the doorbell twice in a row, waiting three seconds before pulling the third doorbell.

The door was opened, and an old man with snow-white hair appeared behind it, with few wrinkles on his face, dressed in a neat short black coat, and holding a black wooden cane with silver rimmed in his palm.

The old man had a black blindfold on his face, which tightly covered his eyes: "Ah, it's you...... This was a lot later than Mr. President reminded me, and I didn't think you would be visiting. ”

Banabe's spiritual instincts gave a special warning, and he looked back at Vika and Matteo, who were unaware.

Just as Banabe was about to answer the old man's words, he heard Esther's voice: "Take off your red cloak." ”

Banabe's obedient unfastening of his red cloak and tossing it to the side, a cloud of light detached from his head, and Banabe clearly felt his spiritual instincts suddenly brighten, and then issued an even more unsettling warning.

Banabe turned her head to meet Esther's murderous eyes, she spread her hands under the cloak, and said to him with a calm face, "Give me the bag." ”

Without saying a word, Banabe passed the satchel over, pursing her lips the whole time, not daring to add a handful of gunpowder to Esther's obvious anger.

She still looked angry, didn't she just spend some more of her money? Why are you so stingy, I also won back some of it.

Banabe muttered a few words depressedly in his heart, but his face was directly empty with the precise control of the "clown", and there was no expression at all.

Esther then turned to the old man, her expression instantly calm, and she bowed respectfully.

Out of respect for this gentleman's age, and the kindness shown by the forces behind him, Esther did not show too casual behavior even if she sensed that the other party was an extraordinary person in the "monster" path.

The old man also returned the salute, then turned sideways and made way into the house: "I don't need to be so polite, it's my honor to entertain you, please follow me upstairs." But just you, your friends will be waiting in the living room. ”

After speaking, he nodded at Kano: "Please take them to the living room for a while." ”

Esther stepped straight into the room and walked up the stairs diagonally to the doorway, and Banabe looked at the back of the red cloak and opened her mouth, as if she wanted to say something.

Suddenly, the old man turned his head in his direction and smiled gently, feeling a hint of inadvertent oppression in his spiritual intuition, which made Banabe shut up instantly.

Is this old man a demigod? Like Esther, a demigod? It's terrifying, when did the demigods become so worthless? It seems that my luck has hit rock bottom since I met Esther......

Banabe, Vika, and Matteo had no choice but to follow Kano into the living room.

As he walked, his hair and cheeks squirmed, and when the three of them sat on the chairs in the living room, Banabe had regained his original appearance of black hair and blue eyes, and took out gray-rimmed glasses from the pocket of his tuxedo and put them on his face.

He looked at Vika and Matteo, "Do you know the demigod?" ”

"I don't know." Vika replied quickly.

Matteo shook his head slowly, "We don't know why Esther ......"

He glanced at Kano next to him, and Kano pulled the corners of his crooked mouth: "I'll go to the kitchen to make some tea." ”

Banabe immediately raised his hand: "I want coffee, preferably plateau coffee, hand-ground." ”

Everyone looked at him with subtle eyes.

Banabe cleared his throat: "Ahem, it's okay to have other coffee." ”
