61. Uninvited guests
(Note...... )
Aroma suddenly regretted that she had thrown out those words to "tempt" Gatiss, and seeing Gatis now holding a note with a serious face, Aroma couldn't help but feel a strange pressure.
"By the way, is there anything else?"
"You're so positive about this, I'm a little afraid to say any more. Aromatic smiled dryly, glancing into the distance, "It's hard to imagine that you would follow my intentions like this, you must be able to sense my hidden meaning, right?
Gatis raised her head and glanced at Aroma a little speechlessly, with a little disdain in her eyes: "Don't apply the human point of view to the demons, although our race is indeed a little bad now, but if you talk about discipline, you must be much more diligent than you humans." Even if you know that you are digging a pit for me, it doesn't matter~"
"Yes...... Is that so?"
"I also have dreams – even if it's a very small delusion, but for me, it's something I can put everything I have into it. Gatis put down her pen, flipped through the words she had written, carefully closed the notebook, and tucked it into her close-fitting pocket, "After your reminder, I thought of one thing - if I could be closer to human psychology, maybe I could be of greater help to Lord Easter, right?"
Since the adults I serve have "positive emotions" that most of my clansmen do not have, if I still do not want to make progress to maintain the status quo. I'm afraid I'll even be skewed to understand what she meant?Gatis can't tolerate that.
"Originally, I thought it would be enough to have a strange person like East, but I didn't expect Gatiss, you guy, to be even weirder - they all say that demons are beings that greatly highlight their own desires, in other words, they are extreme ego lives. But you give me the feeling that the 'self' is very unremarkable. ”
“...... Because I can't have an excess of self. ”
There was silence between the two again, Gatis didn't want to continue on the topic, and Aroma was bothered about how to pick up Gatiss's words - at first, the tinted glasses she had brought and Gatis herself had behaved so that Aroma thought it was a cold demon. The next period of getting along. She also had a general understanding of this companion's character, and her attitude had improved greatly.
At least, it's not like he's treated coldly like a subordinate. Instead, he used her as a talkative friend.
Perhaps many of her actions are indeed contrary to the right path, but they are not to the level of being "evil" in the traditional sense, whether it is because of her own personal emotional tendencies or simply to carry out Easter's policies. But in short, nothing excessive was done. There is this premise. The aroma is also difficult to aversion to Gatiss.
A good person only needs to do a bad thing to make people think about it for a lifetime, and a bad person, even if he shows some warm behavior such as liking kittens and puppies, can infinitely magnify his few "shining points...... As a succubus, Gatis's self-disciplined and low-key behavior really made the fragrance of demons who were used to seeing all kinds of fierce and cunning demons shine.
Well, Easter, whether it's the strength of the power or the degree of compromise, Aroma never thought of her as a demon in the first place. So. She was out of the discussion.
After a little understanding of the situation of Gatis's business in the past, Aroma also had to admit it. In that same position, compared to many native humans, Gatis's behavior is undoubtedly much gentler. Maybe the competitors who were oppressed by her and couldn't breathe hated her to death, but at least she was alive and had a chance to make a comeback...... However, considering that Gatis herself suffered a big loss from her "daughter", Fang Xiang didn't think that those people could afford to make any waves.
"It's strange, I've been with someone like you for a while, but I feel like life is more leisurely than most of the past......" I couldn't find the fragrance of any topic, and I was quite bored and leaned on the table, stretching. Her action attracted many people around her to look at her.
She has been a Lori for decades, and she became a royal sister in one day, and her identity changed too suddenly, and many habits have not been changed. As a result, many habitual movements are applied to the current body, and they seem nondescript – or rather, have a different kind of charm.
After all, there are all kinds of preferential treatment for beautiful women.
"It's obvious that you're in a period of slackness, why do you want to have anything to do with me? It's not my fault. ”
Gatis is a strict person, she is used to planning in advance, and if it comes to Easter, then Gatisse is eager to be able to plan everything. For people like Aroma who are very casual, but have no weaknesses in personality, she is the least good at dealing with them.
"Because I always feel like Gatis is by my side, I don't even have a chance to use my brain—I'm used to reasoning with my muscles, and now it's like my brain is completely on strike. ”
"As long as you don't hold me back, sir......"
Gatis couldn't expect Aroma to do anything more - perhaps Est deliberately asked her to come to assist Gatiss, with the intention of letting her properly protect Gatiss. Fang Xiang's own strength is absolutely excellent, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he can walk sideways on the mainland.
Of course, if conditions permitted, Gatis would have preferred that this difficult sister (based on the age of both of you, Aroma is indeed a little sister) would never have a time when the row would be of great use.
"We're almost done with dinner, we should go too, right?"
Gattiss glanced at the people around her with some unpleasantness, and strangely enough, as a succubus, Gatis didn't like the current situation - decades of hidden work behind the scenes had made Gatis accustomed to this feeling. At this time, she still didn't like being exposed to the eyes of others.
Not to mention, there are still a lot of frivolous and ambiguous eyes in it......
"Hmm. It's still early, isn't it?" Aroma looked up in confusion, a little unimpressed by Gatiss' eagerness to leave, "Wait a little longer, after eight o'clock, this shop will have a limited supply of half-price fries and roast chicken! ”
"Half ...... Half price fries ......"
It's actually because of the discount on food for this kind of civilians. That's why you found this place on purpose? Gatis, who has been a king for a long time in the past, has long been accustomed to the delicacies of the mountains and seas in the world, and today she suddenly heard Fang Xiang say such a thing. I didn't react for a while.
If she let Aroma know what Gatis is thinking now, she will definitely curse hatefully--be a friend!
Belch...... Not necessarily, after all, Gatis is no longer a trench now?
"It's ...... for such reasons"
"Eh, don't underestimate such a civilian delicacy!" Aroma was a little unhappy, apparently she also thought of the succubus in front of her. used to live a life of fine clothes and fine food. It's normal to look down on these ordinary fries and roast chicken, "The best appetizer is peanuts, the easiest food to kill time, that is, potato chips, fries, these snacks, okay?" And I've been very familiar with the reputation of this store!
Gatis was just about to refute Aroma's point of view, but before she could say anything, a voice that was a little flirtatious but not disrespectful rang in her ears.
"Yes. The fries are of good quality, and the lady is right – once in a while you need to relax. It's always tense, but it's easy to leak, right? You know, for a strategist, 'thinking too much' is just as dangerous as 'thinking too little'. ”
“!!!”x2
Gatis was reflexively startled, there was actually a person who came to her side unconsciously, bypassing her own perception, and as a succubus, she didn't notice it at all until the other party spoke!?
Gatise's eyes glanced at Aroma's side, and found that the other party was the same as herself, and she was particularly shocked by this sudden voice. At this moment, Gatiss's heart couldn't help but sink - she asked herself if she was a top powerhouse, after all, she was a scumbag who couldn't even get her own "daughter...... But Aroma is undoubtedly the top powerhouse in this world!
At this time, in this place, I also talked to myself - Gatis is a supporter and user of conspiracy theories, and she immediately made bad associations about this situation. She can't be blamed for this, in the demon world where she grew up, all other beings except her own people are unbelievable existences - and before Esther became a demon god and changed his race, even if he was of the same race, the succubus would not try to believe it.
This is the ecology of the beings in the Demon Realm - they don't even have allies, let alone friends. Except for very few cases like succubi, there is only one rule in the demon world.
In addition to being enemies themselves, the strong are given the right to survive and rule, and the weak can only enjoy death and slavery.
Unlike Gatiss, as a demon, she looks at almost all life in this world with a faint hostility, and has a feeling that "the stars in the sky are enemies". And Aroma is a native of humans, although he is now manipulating a demon-like body, but his personality and heart have not changed anything. Because of this, she did not have any hostility towards this stranger who suddenly appeared and was extremely powerful.
"Oh oh oh ~ It's rare to meet a fellow practitioner!"
She greeted the other party very familiarly, and even got up and grabbed a chair and put it next to her: "Seeing each other is fate, and it looks like we should talk very well?
The woman obviously had just arrived here, because she hadn't even taken off the hood on her head, and the duffel backpack was also in her hand. Probably, it was also a long journey, and the journey ended not long ago. Ready to take a break?
Gatis was about to say something to stop her, when the strange woman pulled over the chair and sat down rather unceremoniously.
"Whew. It's rare for me to see someone like you. The woman laughed heartily, as if she agreed with Aroma's arguments, not at all like a stranger she had just met. The woman put her luggage aside, and also took off the hood that covered her face from her head.
The moment Gatis saw the other party's face, she couldn't help but take a deep breath, and her breathing paused for a moment - if it were normal. This kind of move is absolutely obvious in front of such a strong person, and most likely it will cause dissatisfaction and suspicion on the other side, right? That can't happen.
The reason is simple, Gattis's gaffe has been masked by the exclamations of the other people around her.
"Yes...... It's an elf!?"
More than one person around shouted like this.
What everyone didn't expect was that this dusty woman was quite tired. It's an elf, after she takes off her hood. The pair of pointed ears, the fair and delicate skin, and the beautiful and unearthly face almost immediately indicated its identity—such a trait that only elves possess, right?
Of course, Gatis would never be as shocked by the appearance of this unknown elf as those who lost her temper, and what made her feel tricky and dangerous was the identity of the other party's "elf" - or arguably, the somewhat uninterrupted connection between the elf and the demons.
The fate between elves and demons. But it's much older than humans. Once upon a time, the continent was in decay. The only ones who are tough on the front and in the demon world are these elves who are weak on the outside and like steel on the inside. It is precisely because this race is not afraid of life and death to fight the demons to the death that the present life that has experienced great disasters has been relieved, those races have recovered, and mankind has risen from there.
The hatred between these two races cannot be summed up in one word.
You must know that the demon can make the demon, a race that has an attitude towards everyone, but the hatred of the elves is far greater than that of others, and the trauma caused by the elves to the demons back then can really be imagined. As for the elves, this race has always been plagued by disasters and hardships, and there is no more enemy of life and death.
Anyway, you haven't succeeded in the past, and you won't succeed now or in the future!
...... Therefore, don't look at the weak appearance of the elves, but if you really count it, the fighters of this clan can actually make cameos as berserkers...... The most terrifying thing is that their sanity has always been sober.
Gatis is lucky, she is relatively young among the succubus clan, and she has not experienced the era of bloody battles with elves. But the old grudge between the succubus and the elves is not the slightest bit - if there is no "credit" of the succubus clan who are good at rebellion, then where did the dark elves who have split out of the elven forest come from?
The elves have counted this account on the head of the succubus, but Gatis, who is not old but already has a lot of status in the clan, understands very well that this matter has nothing to do with her own race at all!
The succubus clan is good at arousing the darkness in the other party's heart, and then guiding this darkness to overwhelm the other party's heart that is not firm enough, so as to be tempting and depraved - from beginning to end, it is impossible for the succubus to make something out of nothing! Just like a strong person like Fang Xiang who does not leave any gaps in his heart, let alone one, even if he is replaced by ten succubi, it is impossible for her to fall willingly.
In other words, the person who is seduced by the succubus is not a firm and upright person in the fundamental sense. Even without their encouragement, under the right circumstances, people with such unstable darkness in their hearts will have a depravity, and in the final analysis, it is their own decision.
As for what happened, the succubus clan, who had never participated in it at all, must be confused, but they poured all the dirty water on themselves indiscriminately, and the succubus clan also complained about it!
After all, the succubus is still a member of the demon, and his temper is definitely not any better. But they think they are still cultivated, and they can't do it if they go directly to the door to scold and provoke like some guys, but they won't give the elves a good look - the elves wouldn't have any kindness to the succubus...... After coming and going, this beam was just knotted.
Of course, this is an unforgivable hatred for elves, but in the eyes of the succubus, it is more of an unhappy resentment, and Gatiss, a working girl who looks up to Esther in everything, has no feelings about these things.
But she wasn't sure if the other party would think so.
She knows very well that the elven clan has been inherited to this day, and there are more than one or two hidden stunts. For distinguishing demons, elves also have unique and effective methods, which is also the reason why Gatis feels nervous - it is true that she has confidence in the ability of the succubus clan to be passed down from generation to generation, but the overall strength of the other party is estimated to be far greater than herself, in case the other party sees something, then she really has to hug the fragrant thighs!
While Gatis was thinking about this and that with anxiety, Aroma and the Elven Woman were already in love.
"It's hard to imagine that I can see a second person so special in the imperial capital...... I'm not interested in that person, but you feel good, right?"
"Eh, what are you doing......
"One is a bad old man, the other is a beautiful woman, the two are not comparable at all~" The frivolous words that were quite inconsistent with the identity of the other party's elf popped out of her mouth like this, making Gatis on the side stunned when she heard it.
"I don't know if I have the honor to know the names of the two of them, before that, I'll report to my home first-I'm an ordinary elf passing by, just call me Io~" (To be continued......)
