As the twilight deepened, the world outside the window began to be swallowed up by the night, the stars began to twinkle in the night sky of Ixrita, the full moon was hung high and emitted a soft light, and the street lamps gradually lit up, illuminating the night of the royal capital.

Until the light spots on the bedroom window glass slowly fade away, as if the whole world has fallen asleep.

Seeing that Lanchi fell asleep due to the depletion of mana, Talia knew that she couldn't wake him up even if she wanted to, so she simply left him at the table and left him alone.

After dealing with the duties she had promised Lanch, she finally took out the [Shadow World Record Program].

She had long wanted to watch it for the first time.

She even thought it was more important than going to dinner.

In fact, in addition to the content of the shadow world recorded in it, Talia is more concerned about the silver-haired, amber-eyed half-demon girl who participated in the challenge with Lanchi.

She took out a magic projector that she had modified from the bottom of the bedside table, put the [Shadow World Recorder] inside, turned the sound down to the minimum that would not wake Lanki, and then turned off the lights in the room.

Immediately, the image began to be projected on the dimly lit wall directly opposite the head of the bed.

The room was completely dark, and the only source of light was the magic projector that was working silently.

As if she were watching a movie late at night, Talia sat on her bed with her hands on her knees and watched silently.

The dim light and shadow reflected on her face, bright or dark, changed rapidly, and the voices of Ranchi and Hubertarian echoed in the video of the Shadow World.

Talia gradually immersed herself in the story, as if isolated from the world, staring at the figure of the girl in the picture, as if she missed her closest demon.

"Evatia, is she your daughter......"

I don't know how long it took, and Talia muttered to herself, making an indiscernible sound.

Although the appearance is not alike, the hair color and eye color are too similar.

The day before yesterday, watching the second half of the movie world, it was not until the end that Talia witnessed the cultist shouting that this Miss Duchess was a half-demon, and she began to deeply suspect that this Miss Duchess could really be her sister's daughter.

If she had been able to see Hubertarian in person, Talia might have been able to sense if there was really a blood connection between them.

However, it is not easy for Talia to reach this duchess on the cusp of the storm in a crowded place.

Talia just felt that the more she looked at it, the more it looked like it.

In the future, he may have to find a way to ask Ranch to take this duchess to meet him in private.

Thinking like this, Talia also saw in the picture that Lanchi was inappropriate and brutal in the demon examination room.

Gradually, she frowned.

Although she has been with Lanqi for a long time, she has gradually become familiar with Lanqi.

But at this moment, she will feel more and more strongly the hatred and rejection between humans and demons as if she has come to her senses.

After all, it is impossible for humans to coexist amicably with demons.

And the reason why Lan Qi can get along with her so well now and keep trading is only because he doesn't know that he is a big demon.

When he knows the truth, he will definitely cast a malicious gaze on him.

in the projection screen.

Ranch and Huberian had just left the Demon Examination Room and followed the Demon Students in the corridor.

Hubertarian hesitated for a long time as if she were running, and finally lowered her voice and asked Ranch tentatively:

"Ranchi, what do you think of demons?"

Lan Qi was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then replied:

"I can live for a long time, and I look like a girl when I'm hundreds of years old."

“……！”

Talia in the bedroom suddenly glanced at the sleeping Lanchi at the table.

She didn't know if Ranch did it intentionally or unintentionally.

But she felt that no matter what, it was enough for Ranch to think like this.

And, Lanch replied.

It's still the same as those humans.,Full of prejudice against demons.,Treat them as monsters.。

The audio and video on the screen continues—

"Then if you encounter a demon in this world, will it be like just now?"

Hubertarian still asked Lanch with a slight apprehension.

Lanchi looked at her without saying a word, and seemed speechless for a long time.

Finally, he asked rhetorically:

"Do you think I'm an old birthday star eating arsenic, do you think my life is long?"

Talia catches in the full picture of Ranchi's reaction.

I just feel that he is getting more and more annoying.

Soon, Ranch spoke earnestly to Hubertarian:

"Let's not talk about whether it is dangerous to provoke the demons, maybe the demons also have good guys, Huberian, don't discriminate against the demons."

Hearing this, Talia seemed stunned.

Until, after a long time.

She looked at the sleeping human boy again.

Looking at him like this, no one knew what was going on in the depths of her golden pupils.

“……”

A cool breeze blew outside the half-open window, gently patting Rankie's body.

As if sensing a gaze, Lan Qi felt a slight chill on his body, and his eyes opened unconsciously.

What caught his attention was not the warm wooden furniture in the dimly lit room, but a pair of golden eyes and a beautiful face not far away.

The cold and noble pupils couldn't hide a little confusion, emotion, and confusion.

It's like wanting to turn people away from thousands of miles away and at the same time wanting to explore a little bit more.

Ranch raised his hand and touched his face.

He thought it was because he had something on his face when he was asleep that he was staring at Talia like this.

"Uh...... Tata? Sorry I fell asleep, what time is it? ”

Ranchi asked tentatively, wondering if his lethargy would annoy Taria.

"Just after twelve."

Talia glanced at the clock and replied.

Ranch breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed that Talia was not angry.

If she gets angry, she will definitely choke herself instead of answering herself.

"Ah, you're going to start watching the movie world now."

He quickly noticed the only light source in the bedroom.

“……”

Talia shifted her gaze to the frame again, silent, and it wasn't until a moment later that she spoke again,

"Miss Duchess who challenged the Shadow World with you, what do you think of her?"

"You're a nice person."

Lanch replied decisively, knowing that Talia was trying to find out about her kind.

Ranch was going to introduce Huberian to Talia, and wait for the company to be founded.

Taria, an old demon who is much stronger than Hubertarian, should be able to see Huberian's half-demon identity at a glance, but Huberian has little way to see through Taria's delicate disguise.

In the moment when Lanch was thinking.

"Don't bully her, the demons are very murderous, in case she angers me, I may not have time to protect you."

Talia just said so calmly.

The words seemed to be only carrying out her duty to protect Lanchi, and did not show Lanchi that she wanted to protect Huberian at all.

"What do you think of me? I'm not a school bully, I'm a good student with excellent character and learning! ”

Lanch grumbled in disbelief with his head clutched.

Hubertian is an honest person, he won't bully.

And Hubertarian has such a gentle personality, which is completely different from Taria, an awkward, murderous old woman!

“…… I'm sorry. ”

Talia was convinced that Ranch was telling the truth.

When she watched from the open-air giant screen plaza of the Ikherita Academy, she could clearly sense that the students did not like to see the Duchess with demon blood.

But throughout the film world, Ranch sincerely regards Huberian as a trustworthy companion.

Until he knew Huberian's identity, this sincerity did not waver.

"Hey, Tata, what did you just say?"

Lanch's eyes suddenly opened, and he put his hand next to his ear and turned his head, as if he suspected that something was wrong with his ear.

"Didn't say anything."

Talia felt a little annoyed with this guy again.

And he seems to be mentally active again!

"Don't worry, Tata, I won't allow this kind of discrimination against good classmates to happen in the academy!"

Ranch said to Talia with a grin.

As she was silent, Ranch happily gestured to a scissorhands:

"My purpose is to love all living beings equally!"

“……”

Talia didn't reply.

She was sure that this guy's "love" was a little scary, especially for those who provoked him.

But correspondingly, if it is a friendly creature, even if it is a demon, he will treat it sincerely.

After Talia had traveled to the human realm for decades, she was already convinced that there would be no such human who could treat demons without prejudice.

— until she witnessed Lanch's attitude towards Huberian.

She saw the first.

Right in front of her eyes.

No one spoke in the dimly lit room, and it went on for a short while.

Only the sound of the silent night of the royal capital, the light breeze passing through the curtains.

"Are you hungry?"

Talia asked.

"I'm hungry."

Ranch touched his stomach, and felt the hunger rush rise as soon as the sleepiness he had just woken up dissipated.

"Let's go to dinner, I'll pay for it today."

Talia's tone was inaudible, and she stepped out of bed and took a step on the soft carpet.

Human teachers are said to reward students when they behave well, so it should be okay to treat him to better imitate humans.

It's also to make him more loyal to himself.

"Huh? Tata, are you going to invite me to dinner? ”

Lanch pointed at himself in surprise, his expression a little incredulous.

"If you ask again, it's gone."

Talia glanced at him and walked out of the room without looking back.

Thanks to the Silver Alliance of Brother Pseudo-Dian, try to add more in the past few days!
