59. The part-time team is still working......
"Woohoo!"
Gattis, who was standing on the ladder sorting out the books at the top, suddenly shook and jumped up as if she had been electrocuted...... Immediately, he hit the bookshelf, and the bookshelf that lost its center of gravity immediately pressed the fragrance that was arranged on the opposite side to the ground.
In a sparse uproar, the books on the shelves spilled all over the floor, and suddenly buried the struggling fragrance.
If it were an ordinary person, most of them would have already dyed these books red with their own blood at this moment, right? These books are amazing enough just to look at the thickness, and this one is enough to smash a person's head into a flower...... However, Aroma is still comfortable with such a level of "attack". Of course, she was just able to guarantee that she wouldn't be smashed......
"Help me out! Gatis, you idiot!"
A depressed shout came from the bottom of the pile of books, with the ability of aroma, it is very simple to get out of the current predicament, but she is not a strong person who is known for her fine control, she is taking the path of opening and closing, and now, with this body that does not belong to her, it is even more difficult to precisely manipulate her own strength. In her style, it was easy to shake open the books that were pressing down on her, but it was a bit of a hassle to make sure that these precious books were not damaged in any way.
In the end, she reluctantly asked Gatis to help clean up the books that were pressing on her.
Gatis embarrassed to remove the books from Aroma one by one, and to rescue the poor man who had suffered an unjustified disaster.
"If it were an ordinary person, this would already be the level of deliberate murder, right?" Fang Xiang picked up a twenty-centimeter-thick book that had fallen to the side. Her intuition told her that the first book to hit her head was this one. “...... There's a dent on the cover. ”
At this time, should I complain about whether my head is harder, or the cover of this book is hard? Fang Xiang is also very unhappy about such a gaffe.
"I'm sorry, it's all my fault. Gatis, who knew that she was wrong, quickly apologized to Fangxiang, "Just now, I seemed to feel something. The body instinctively agitated slightly, and as a result, his hands and feet hit the bookshelf. ”
"Huh, you're going to behave like that?"
Hearing this, Fang Xiang couldn't help but raise her eyebrows slightly. looked at Gatis curiously - after getting along for a while, she also basically figured out the character of this succubus, it stands to reason that Gatis is calm and rational. Even when a catastrophe comes, you can endure the fear and anxiety in your heart. Prioritize countermeasures, and there will be times when you panic?
Gatis hesitated for a moment to answer Aroma's doubts.
"For me to react like that, I want to ...... It must have been something related to Lord Easter, right? My lord, she must have done something that made me feel so far away in the world. ”
"Is that her?" said Aroma was surprised.
It was also impossible for her not to think about it, to know the Tao of Lu, Easter's ability. Far more than she imagined, this kind of existence. Every move can have a huge impact on the world world - since it can make Gatis sense something and even make a gaffe, it is conceivable that it is impossible to expect that guy from East to settle in the otherworldly world.
She must have done something. What the hell are you going to do?" Aroma thought as she thought about it...... but was stopped by Gatiss.
"If you believe me, a soft-spoken succubus, please stop the speculation. Gatis ignored Aroma's somewhat displeased eyes, she continued, "There is a saying in the demon world that measuring a succubus's thoughts and thoughts is as close to suicide as going to the dragon's side to fight for treasure. I believe that with your ability, you can deal with ordinary succubi, even the strongest in the middle, without falling behind or even suppressing, but don't try to do it on Lord East...... The demons are jealous of us because of the succubus' natural strength and inciting language, but this kind of human achievement, because of its universality, has become a kind of endorsement for the succubus clan. As the strongest person of the succubus clan, Lord East, who has stepped into the world beyond the highest, the racial image endorsement of the succubus clan can be applied to himself unconditionally. Even if Lord East himself was unwilling, her body would be filled with terrible allure to mortals, and in the same way, Lord East might not have that kind of mind, but anyone who rashly speculated about her would suffer a considerable degree of doom. ”
If it weren't for that, Esther wouldn't have wanted to create such a twisted and terrifying image to the outside world. But when the charm of the succubus clan, which was already bewitching enough, was applied to himself several times or even dozens of times, East did not dare to use his own body to meet outsiders anymore.
She is an outlier among succubi, and since she was a child, she has been disgusted by the aggressive gaze that others look at her, but when she imagines the "treatment" she will suffer in the future, Easter, who has a slight psychological cleanliness fetish, is afraid. It's one thing to be able to deal with it, but it's disgusting to see it, and this is something that you can't forget no matter how you deal with it afterwards!
Thus, the image of a black tentacle monster was born.
"Even for gentlemen who like the European pie and don't like flat chests, is it applicable?"
Thinking of Easter's regrettable breasts, Aroma couldn't help but ask, but the answer she received made her embarrassed.
"At the beginning, the Great Demon King Lucifer saw the figure of his master, and it is said that he fled back to his lair, and it took ten days to resist the evil charm of the master who had become the master of the demon god and keep his 'faith'. ”
"Is that also a giant O party?"
"No, Lord Lucifer likes cute boys. ”
"......" This is really a terrible charm, can it make people cross the difference in sexual orientation? But to Fang Xiang's surprise, she obviously didn't feel much abnormal.
"Because by that time, Lord East had already put a lot of effort into suppressing and covering up. In addition, your heart is also very firm and has no distracting thoughts, so it will seem to have no effect. Since Lord Esther himself is unwilling, he wants to exert his original power. Naturally, it is also impossible. ”
"After all, it's your subordinates who have created the sins......"
Aroma's point-blank answer made Gatis choke up as well - but when you think about it, it seems that this is really the case?
If the succubus clan is a race that cleans itself up, then presumably Lord East will not encounter such embarrassment, so that after becoming a demon god, he will have to worry about such and such trivial affairs!
"Is it all our own fault......
"Don't worry whose fault it is. Let's hurry up and get this place back to where it was - now we've managed to get a job in this place, and we've been fired for knocking down the bookshelves and damaging the books. Then you can take a piece of tofu and kill it......"
......
Aroma and Gatis worked hard for a while to straighten the fallen bookshelves, and it took a lot of effort to put the scattered books on top of each other. Wait until the two of them are done with their work. only to find out. The glow of the setting sun has already poured into the windows.
It's time to get off work.
"I said, did you find any clues today?"
"As always, nothing was found. Compared to Aroma, Gatis seemed more disappointed and helpless, after all, unlike Aroma, who was recruited by Is's signature sign halfway, Gatis obviously had to pay a lot of attention and care a lot to the mission released by East. Nothing has been achieved in the past few days, which makes her very uneasy.
"Don't be in a hurry. If you are in a hurry, you can't eat hot tofu, and the information is here. They don't have wings or legs, so they can't escape. ”
"That's right...... However, it would be better for us to take a break from our work for the next few days. ”
Gatis suddenly interjected with a sentence that made Aroma unclear.
"What's the matter? Why did you say that all of a sudden?"
It would be impossible to say that Gatis was not concerned about what Esther was telling and that he was lazy. Since she said so, there must be a reason of her own - given Gatise's personality and what she was good at, Aroma couldn't help but think of her words in terms of conspiracy and calculation.
"That snake spirit disease that has been haha haha all day long, seems to have noticed me...... I don't know if she noticed anything unusual about you, but we came here together and didn't hide the 'intimacy' between us, so I think you're probably suspicious there, right?"
After looking around for a moment, making sure that there was no one around, and there were no monitoring props and magic, Gatis explained to Fang Xiang in a low voice: "I found that someone seems to be testing the time of my stay in various places, and if it is someone who cares, it is definitely possible to infer my purpose from my movement trajectory and a series of other circumstances." But now it should only be suspicion, after all, we have not been here for a long time, and we have done our job well, but we must not let this suspicion deepen. So for the next period of time, I would pause my work and deliberately 'read carefully' books that were in my active area but had nothing to do with our purpose. The place where I spend the most in the past few days is the history of the mainland, so I will pretend to be very interested in history and take a lot of time out of my spare time to read related books. Since some suspect that we have special motives, we simply confirm their suspicion that we applied for the position of librarian in order to enrich our knowledge and curiosity. Of course, you have to pretend like this for a while, my lord. ”
Gatis pulled a notebook out of her bosom and stuffed it into Aroma's bosom.
"In order to create authenticity, we need to really devote ourselves to the act of 'enriching knowledge' during this time, so a notebook that records our usual reading experience must not be missing, with this, our camouflage is more convincing. ”
Aroma put the notebook in her pocket and flipped through Gatiss's own notebook, the first five pages of which were densely filled with her "reading experience". With Gatis's knowledge, it is easy to write about this kind of thing, and others can be faked, but the reader's own experience is difficult to fake in front of experts. And what is written in this book is clearly only after in-depth reading and analysis of those works. Something that can only be written by combining one's own knowledge and insight.
Aroma also had to sigh, Gatis was really cautious.
Generally speaking, it is taboo to hide one's identity and be too public, even if it is an alternative form of publicity. But in Gattis's notebook. Reading between the lines reflects the air of a learned scholar, and the notes that incorporate her own opinions are of great value even for purely academic purposes.
She did it on purpose.
With the young and beautiful appearance of the two of them, if they have been wandering in those places with deep professional knowledge, even if they pretend to be studying, it is easy to arouse suspicion. This time. Showing a considerable degree of professional attainment is the only way to keep suspicion to a minimum - first of all, it is a cover for reading the books for a long time. After all, with such a degree of knowledge and ability, there is really no need to look for materials in the "low-difficulty" area, and at the same time, blindly keeping a low profile is an unnatural and dangerous behavior, and only properly showing the brilliance it deserves. so as not to arouse the suspicion of others.
"I've told you all about my 'past experiences' in front of Rorona before. I don't have much combat ability, so I'm more suitable to stay on the side of history. And the 'Prince Charming' who saved me from the thugs naturally needs you to go to your own 'professional' field, right?"
"Well, I'm really not very good at magic......"
"Well, don't be modest at this time - your so-called 'not good at' is already a very remarkable degree in the eyes of ordinary people, and it's just right to cover it up!"
Gatisse was right, even if the Aromatic Ranger didn't want to. That's all I have to do - after all, let a "weak woman" delve into advanced magical knowledge? Doesn't this make it clear that his origin is nonsense?
"This is a long-term project, and we can't rush it, so we can take it slowly. The most important thing at the moment is to dispel the suspicion of us, and some things can only be put aside. ”
Listening to Gattisse's admonition, a strange feeling rose in Aroma's heart - it was obviously Gatis herself who was more anxious, right? Compared to Aroma, she was much more nervous and labored.
It is estimated that because of this, she was able to detect the abnormality earlier than the heartless aroma. Of course, the difference in the level of caution between the two sides is also a factor, but the most important thing is indeed how attentive Gatis is to the task.
[This guy...... It is not a lie to rule a kingdom for decades. Again, how could Esther entrust such an important task to her without enough ability?, but this kind of appearance, she is more like a human than a demon who plays with people's hearts, right?
If you want to talk about the real "professional", for Aroma, if there is a classification of "demonology", then she must be the power of this profession - the so-called practice is the only way to test the truth, and the number of demons that actually died at Aroma's hands is converted into experience points, which is enough for her to rise to LVMAX in one fell swoop.
She had never seen many demons disguised as humans, and with her professional eyes, she could spot the disguises of these self-proclaimed flawless guys at a glance. There is no other reason, no matter how shrewd and evil the demon is, there is an inherent deficiency in disguise - its emotions are different from those of human beings.
To take the simplest example, when a demon disguises himself as a vile villain, it can be perfectly disguised at all times, but it is flawed only at one specific point - when the life of the character he is playing is threatened.
True humans will be afraid, they will give up, and even if they resist, it will be a desperate and powerless struggle, but the demons will not hesitate to launch a real counterattack - this is the difference. Most human beings, both subjective and objective, are weak, and demons do not think that they will lose their identity as strong among the sheep.
...... Well, it's said that she is "strong", but in Fang Xiang's heart, in fact, what is more suitable for demons should be "arrogance", right? Anyway, with her own practical experience, any demon monarch will always have a very firm self-confidence before he truly realizes the irretrievable strength gap...... Anyway, no matter whether this is true or not, in the eyes of Aroma, this kind of scum who is serious and casually abuses and kills can only be described as "arrogant".
But Gatis is different.
This succubus, if it weren't for her own identity, Aroma wouldn't even think she was a demon.
Previously, Fang Xiang thought it was because it was a racial talent, after all, she had never seen a real succubus before, but now, she understood the secret of Gattis's disguised success.
She has a "humility" that ordinary demons don't have.
Even in the face of weak humans, she will do her best to deal with them, and will not look down on the other party because they are weaker than her own - although this is cautious, but from beginning to end, she maintains an attitude of neither humility nor arrogance, so it is not impossible to understand it as humility.
Fang Xiang didn't think that this was her innate emotion, presumably, it was also her decades of experience in the human world, right? As for how she would get this emotion that was very contrary to the demon race...... It's hard to say about the fragrance, but it seems that it should have something to do with the girl who will make her blow up when she mentions it?
Reputedly...... Is it a daughter?
[Did she discover it herself?The boundary between humans and demons is getting weaker and weaker for her......] (To be continued......)
