"I'm sorry, I seem to be in a hurry to eat."

After noticing Anna's suspicious eyes, Queen Veronica did not panic because she showed her feet, but took the initiative to confess with some embarrassment:

"There were a lot of unplanned things today, first I was suddenly proposed by your brother, and then I was attacked by a chaotic party, so that I haven't eaten anything since the morning, and I couldn't hold back for a while, which makes you laugh."

I see......

Looking at the princess who did not shy away from admitting that she was "cheating on eating and drinking", and remembering her elegant demeanor even if she was a little hasty, the suspicion in Anna's eyes dissipated a little, and then she was attracted by the new topic she threw out, and asked with some concern:

"So...... Lyon, how is he? Are you together today? Since you've been attacked by rebels, is he hurt?"

"Don't worry, although he ran into a little trouble, his shoulder was ...... The pebble hit it, and now the wounds are probably healed."

After answering Leon's situation, looking at the sick and weak girl in front of her, who was obviously relieved, Queen Veronica couldn't help but smile, and then took the initiative to take Anna's hand and said with a close face:

"To be honest, I was really shocked when I saw you just now."

"Huh?"

After hearing the words of the "sister-in-law", the sick girl couldn't help but tremble slightly, as if some hidden caution had been seen through, and said with a forced smile:

"For...... Why?"

"Because of you, of course."

The princess, who had neither food nor a place to live, and was in urgent need of a place to settle down, gave full play to her communication skills in political mediators, and praised with a smile:

"Leon told me that he had a sister about his age, but he didn't tell me that you were so beautiful."

Looking at the sick and weak girl next to her who was praised and lowered her head a little shyly, even if she was wearing a simple white dress, she still couldn't hide her beauty, Queen Veronica couldn't help but try to wrap around her slender waist, and then sighed sincerely in three points of praise and seven points:

"Really...... The beauty makes me a little jealous, especially your waist...... Oops, really...... On the day of my wedding to Lyon, you must be my bridesmaid!

But you have to promise me not to dress too pretty, or the guests will be afraid that no one will look at me, and their eyes will stick to you, and I will be too shameless."

"Which...... How can it be so exaggerated......

Embarrassed by Queen Veronica's words, Anna's fair cheeks couldn't help but blush twice, and she waved her hand again and again to show that she was not as good as she said.

After suppressing the little sourness in her heart, looking at the beautiful and generous woman in front of her, with a good figure, a good speech, and impeccable in all aspects, Anna sighed faintly in her heart, and then held the hand of the princess and said:

"Sister-in-law...... Sister, you are really beautiful, and you are so ...... If you have a good figure, even if I look good, everyone's eyes will definitely be attracted by you...... By the way, sister, how old are you this year?"

How old am I......

After hearing Anna's inquiry, the princess couldn't help but stiffen slightly, and then she also smiled and said vaguely:

"I'm a little older than your brother......

A little bigger? My brother is sixteen years old this year, and he is a little older...... Seventeen or eighteen? Eighteen nineteen?

After hearing the words and thinking about it, Anna looked at the plump beauty in front of her with a mature charm, and finally reported a little, and said tentatively:

"Sister, you...... Are you twenty years old?"

Meaning...... Do I look like someone who hasn't yet reached twenty?

After hearing Anna's question, the princess, who was the twenty-eighth beauty, couldn't help but feel happy, and the smile on her face suddenly became more than a hundred times more sincere.

Leon's sister is not only beautiful and gentle, but also speaks so well, and cooks well, oh it really is...... I've really come to the right place today!

"Uh-huh, almost!"

After cheekily answering Anna's guess, the smiling princess pulled her and continued to chat, and when both sides were interested in befriending each other, the topic seemed to have no end, and the conversation did not stop until late at night.

……

"Oops, we had so much fun chatting that I accidentally forgot the time!"

After staring out of the window out of the corner of her eye, seeing that most of the street lights had been extinguished, and estimating that the last public carriage had left, the princess immediately got up with a look of chagrin and said:

"I just wanted to come and see you, but I didn't expect to bother for so long, I'm so sorry, I should go!"

Is it already so late?

Looking at the street, which had become pitch black because most of the street lights had gone out, Anna hurriedly got up and stopped:

"Don't, it's so late, sister, why don't you just stay today!"

"What's so embarrassing?"

"What's this! You're going to get married sooner or later, and now it's just a matter of staying one night early."

"But I'm not really married to Leon after all, so isn't it a bit ...... to stay overnight now?"

"It's okay, he's not at home, and besides, it's so late now, maybe the last train is gone, what if you encounter danger along the way?"

"That...... Okay then......"

Unable to resist the gracious invitation of the future sister-in-law, after agreeing to stay overnight, the very "reserved" princess was brought into Lyon's house to live.

After comparing her dresses and finding that her sister-in-law definitely couldn't wear them, Anna also thoughtfully found a few of Leon's old clothes and put them at the head of the bed in the room.

After picking up the old clothes and comparing them, and finding that the size was just right, Queen Veronica smiled and thanked her:

"Thanks, I really bothered you today."

"You're welcome, you're ...... after all Well...... It seems to be a little late."

Looking at the princess who quietly yawned and had some fighting eyelids, Anna smiled and instructed:

"Sister, you're tired all day, then I won't disturb your rest, my room is next door, you can call me if you have anything."

"Okay, I'm sorry for you."

After sending Anna out of the room, taking off her ill-fitting skirt and putting on Leon's old clothes, the sleepiness on the princess's face suddenly disappeared.

After silently pulling open the quilt and getting in, she sighed softly with a tired face just now, lay on her back on Leon's small bed, and looked fixedly at the slightly worn ceiling above her head.

It is naturally impossible to fall asleep when you fall asleep, and the original princess has gathered all the conditions, and she is only one step away from completing her dream.

But in the blink of an eye, it disappeared into everyone's memory inexplicably, and he couldn't even go home, and he had to rely on the information he had about Leon to cheat and live so that he wouldn't end up on the streets.

Now she needs enough time to think, to ponder her future, to find a way to find what she has lost, for Queen Veronica, tonight is probably destined to be a sleepless night.

However, she is not the only one who is destined to be unable to sleep tonight, and Anna next door is the same.

……

My brother is really getting married......

Lying on the bed without sleep, and staring at the ceiling above her head for a while, the sick girl couldn't help but turn her head sideways and glance in the direction of Lyon's room.

The sudden appearance of this beautiful "sister-in-law" completely broke the fact that Anna was most unwilling to face...... Sooner or later, Lyon will start a family.

And once Leon has his own family, his own wife and children, even if he still recognizes his sister, who is not related to him, he is destined to be as close as he is now.

At that time, Leon would most likely move out and live in a place where he could keep a good meal, and the one who waited for him to come back every day under the light would become another woman, no longer himself......

And in addition to that, there is that strange man with an expression like he is crying!

I remember the "visit" a few days ago

The mysterious man, Anna only felt chills all over her body, and couldn't help but shrink into the quilt, and then looked at the next room with an extremely complicated expression.

If that man really took the "photo" and made Leon forget everything, his original self could still try to find him and see if he could be a family member with him again in another way.

But now, my brother has a marriage partner, so I'm ...... Will you be able to stay with your brother any longer? My home...... Will it continue to exist?

After staring at Leon's room for a while with melancholy and worry, and remembering the woman who was so perfect that she couldn't do anything about it, she couldn't even hate the other party, Anna's disturbed mind was a mess, and a very strong strange thought faintly appeared.

If...... If I were her...... How good should it be?

……

"Nourishing ......"

A strange sound sounded in the small mirror that Leon used to store things, and Yuha, who was secretly grinding his teeth with the barrel of a sniper rifle, was startled.

"Wang?!"

(What?!) ）

After releasing the sniper barrel in his mouth, Youha shook the little golden retriever on his head, turned to look at the pile of debris thrown in by Leon, and carefully stretched out the soles of his feet to pull it out, and found the thing that was making a strange noise.

"Whew?"

(This photo...... Something is wrong, right? ）

Looking at the strange photo of the ground trembling slightly, and the figure above turned into three people for a while, and then into a person, Youha tilted his head in surprise, and felt that he should talk to Leon about this.

"Woohoo! Woohoo! Woohoo!"

(Lyon!) Something happened Lyon! You take the mirror out of your pocket! ）

However, Leon didn't know what was going on, and Youha screamed outside in the small mirror for a long time, and even stuck out his head to arch him, but still didn't get any feedback.

After a few turns, the somewhat anxious Youha immediately shrugged his black and shiny little nose vigorously, smelled the smell of Leon's body, and walked all the way along the edge of the ever-changing mirror world, and finally found an exit that was relatively close to Leon.

"Wow...... Wow ......"

(It turned out to be drunk...... Humans are really unreliable...... ）

After poking the dog's head out of the whiskey bottle and glancing at Leon lying on the table with a confused gaze, Yuha couldn't help but pout his lips speechlessly, and then tried to see if he could bite him awake, telling Leon that there was a strange change in the photo he put into the mirror world, however......

"What? Would you like to have a drink?"

After stretching out his red nails coated with dancôme, pinching the back of Youha's neck, and pulling it out of the whiskey bottle, the drunken red-haired director smiled, ignored Youha's frightened expression, picked up a bottle of wine and poured it down.

"You're welcome, I'll invite you today! Whether it's a human or a dog, I'm sure you'll get it right!"

"Wang! Woohoo!"

(Me!) I don't @#¥%! ）

"Nourishing ......"

Just when the hapless Youha crashed into the hands of the red-haired director and was forced to replace Leon as the wine companion, the photos of the constant abnormal noises in the mirror world finally gradually quieted down.

When the last strange writhing stopped, the family portrait in the photo disappeared completely, and she was transformed into a plump and pretty young woman, who looked like the queen of Veronica.

……

"Drop!"

Just as the family portrait in the photo changed to the smiling Queen Veronica, a somewhat shrill noise suddenly sounded, waking up the sleepy old man on the chaise longue next to him.

This is?!

Following the harsh noise, he looked down at the watch on his wrist, and found that all six hands had moved, and the old man, who had crooked eyebrows and eyes, and a kind face, was born with a smiling face, and his eyes suddenly widened in surprise.

It's all right! The last condition is actually all right!

Raised his wrist and looked at the most that had just moved

The latter pointer found that the number that emerged was actually 0006, an old man with a naturally smiling face...... Or the director of the water bottle couldn't help but be slightly stunned.

0006？ Isn't this a failure?

Suspiciously, he got up from the recliner and sat down at the table, and after the Aquarius Director opened the drawer of the table, took out a thick notebook with the "Full Number Record of Test Samples" on it, and quickly rummaged through it.

「0006…… 0006…… There you go!"

After a hasty glance at the record on it, confirming that it was the thing he knew, the director of the water bottle frowned and thought for a while, and after writing a few lines with his pen, he tore off the page about the No. 6 test item, and then turned the book to the back cover, sandwiching this page of records with the other five records.

……

ID: 0006

Name: Anna Lane

Morphology: Photograph

Seed level: Maximum

Target Abilities: Alternate Identities, Modify the Past

Test Details: With the help of the test subject's desire for a happy family, it will induce it to have the idea of replacing others, and the carrier will be selected as a photo representing the past, memories, and experiences, so as to cultivate a functional anomaly with the ability to "alternate identity" and "modify the past".

Log 1: Failed.

After learning of her parents' deaths, the subject has developed a desperate desire for family, but after guiding her to see a large number of happy families, the target does not have the urge to replace the other child, but is more eager to find his parents.

Note: Judged that because the family environment is relatively happy, it is not the life of others that the test subject envies, but the other party has a real family, and it is recommended to give up cultivating the ability of "substitution", and instead induce them to resist reality and have the idea of modifying the past.

Log 2: Failed.

Even after witnessing the embezzlement of his parents' pension and being kicked out of the house where he grew up, the test subjects still did not have the idea of resisting reality, and it seemed that he did not expect his parents to really be resurrected.

Note: Judgment is due to the fact that although the test subject is very young, he is quite determined, has understood the meaning of death, does not believe that his parents can be resurrected, and is naturally kind, and is not completely disappointed in human nature, so the induction will fail.

Log 3: Failed.

The test subject activates the anomaly, but the effect is completely inconsistent with the target's ability, and it changes from an alternate identity and modification of the past to a regain of the family.

Note: The test is temporarily sealed, and after the test subject is an adult, and the spirit is completely stable and unchanged, try to recover it, and re-search the test sample of similar quality.

Record 4: Complete Failure!

After a return visit, it was found that although the spirit of the test subject was not completely stable, it had destroyed the created anomaly with his own hands, and denied the meaning of the existence of the anomaly from the bottom of his heart.

Note: Because the "family" of the test subject accidentally joined the *** branch of the Cleanup Bureau, the photo anomaly created by the test sample was mastered by Bloodhair, and it was extremely difficult to retrieve it.

Record 5: Success?

At night, when he was about to fall asleep, the [Dream Seeker] was suddenly activated, and the spirit of the suspected test subject was greatly affected, and the desire in his heart changed, resulting in a corresponding change in the anomaly, and the new ability just met the criteria for "substitution" and "modification".

Note: To be verified.
