Mystery: The Witch and the Calamity

The purpose of Thomas' trip was accomplished.

From the moment he set foot on the warship returning from Bayam to Backlund, he had been hesitating whether he wanted to meet Louise again, but now that he had seen her, the barrier in his heart was basically eliminated. .

After giving kind care and reminders, the conversation between the two became more and more heated, as if they had returned to the days when they drank and chatted happily.

However, Louise is now an unmarried lady after all, and it was inconvenient for Thomas to stay for too long, so he took the initiative to leave.

After seeing off the guests, the maid lady said, "It's rare to see you as happy as today, miss."

"Really?" Louise asked curiously, "Have I been acting serious?"

The maid shook her head and explained:

"It's not serious. You have always been a very gentle person, but today's smile is the kind that comes from the heart. I haven't seen it for a long time."

Louise was slightly taken aback when she heard the words, then she stretched out her index finger, tapped the maid's forehead affectionately, and said with a smile:

"You are becoming more and more like an 'audience'."

…………

Audrey recently started a new class, Psychology.

The teacher who taught her was a well-known psychology expert in Backlund, but he also had a hidden identity, that is, he was a member of the extraordinary organization "Psychological Alchemists".

Why didn't you invite me to join the "Psychological Alchemist Association", I don't really want to study psychology... Audrey pretended to be listening carefully, but she was complaining silently in her heart.

Inadvertently, her gaze caught sight of Susie, a big golden retriever dog squatting at her feet. She was wearing a small red vest and a pair of glasses with gold rims on her nose. good student.

Audrey was suddenly a little ashamed, and silently looked away.

After the class was over, when there was only one person and one dog left in the room, Miss Justice asked:

"Susie, do you like the knowledge of psychology?"

Susie, the golden retriever, nodded and replied:

"I thought that was interesting, more interesting than reading a book by myself."

Well, you are more of an "audience" than me... Audrey blinked slightly, but did not speak.

At this time, there was a knock on the door in the corridor, and when she walked in, she found that it was Annie, the personal maid. She reported:

"Viscount Greint is here, and is waiting for you in the drawing room."

"I'll be right there." Audrey replied, and after tidying up briefly, she brought Susie to the living room.

It turned out that it wasn't just Grelint alone, but also Forsi, who might be called Miss "Magician" now... Audrey lowered her head subconsciously, glanced at Susie beside her, and greeted Susie warmly. go up:

"Did something happen?"

Viscount Grelint had an uncontrollable joy on his face, and replied cheerfully:

"Fors helped me find the potion formula of 'Pharmacist', and I will soon become a Extraordinary."

"Congratulations." Audrey said happily, trying her best to satisfy Greint's vanity, making the smile on the latter's face even brighter.

With a smile, Mr. Viscount said intimately:

"I believe that you will also be able to get the potion formula of 'spectator' soon."

"I hope so." Audrey responded reservedly, and at the same time added in her heart: "Although I am already a "mind reader" of Sequence Eight."

Then, she turned her gaze to Fors, and asked curiously:

"Why didn't Miss Hugh come with you?"

Fors replied with a smile: "She has been busy with a bounty mission recently, and the reward is very generous."

Audrey nodded lightly, and then exchanged pleasantries for a while, using the ability of the "audience", it was no surprise that Forsi was hesitant to speak.

Finally, Miss "Magician" spoke up and said:

"Miss Audrey, there is something I would like to ask for your help."

Here it comes, here it comes...Miss "Justice" showed appropriate curiosity and replied, "Of course, please tell me."

Forsi's tone contained sufficient expectations, earnestly requesting:

"I remember that you once collected Roselle's notes. I wonder if I can make a copy... I can pay for it."

Of course, it shouldn’t be too expensive... She added in her heart, because of the big purchases at the last Tarot Club, the royalties accumulated by Miss "Magician" over the years have almost bottomed out, although Viscount Greint A mouthful of blood came back in his hand, but he could no longer stand the torment of the strong wind and waves.

"It's not a big deal, and it's not worth the money..."

Hearing Miss Audrey's words that sounded like sounds of nature, Fors immediately became excited, but she seemed to be excited a little too early.

Audrey glanced at her, then looked down at the well-behaved golden retriever Susie, and said with some hesitation:

"It's not impossible to borrow you to copy it, but Susie was inadvertently locked in the study by the maid two days ago, and she tore up a lot of papers and books out of boredom... Those Roselle notes are not It was bound into a book, all of which were accidentally scratched by Susie, and have been thrown away."

Ah, how could it be like this... Fors seemed to hear the sound of heavy rain falling "crash" in her mind, and instantly extinguished the flame that had just ignited in her heart.

Susie, the big golden retriever squatting on the ground, fully demonstrated what it means to be "stunned"...

It stood up and barked at Audrey twice, then found Audrey's eyes indicating, and slowly sat down again.

Fors glanced at Susie several times, endured the pain in her heart and said:

"It doesn't matter, anyway, I'm just curious, and I'll collect them at extraordinary parties in the future."

Audrey smiled apologetically, and stretched out her right hand to stroke Susie's head, carefully soothing her emotions.

It's not that she was reluctant to hand over Roselle's diary to Fors, but she had already given those diaries to Mister Fool. If Fors submitted it again, it would be an act of disrespect to Mr. Fool. ...Although Mister Fool has always been very gentle, he must never doubt the power of a god.

Therefore, for the safety of herself and Fors, she decided to wrong Susie.

This was the countermeasure that Audrey thought hard after Louise submitted Roselle's diary in public at the "Tarot Club" last week.

Well, the "Colorful Lizard Dragon" sent from the Southern Continent is coming soon, let's use the opportunity to be promoted to "Mind Reader" to compensate Susie... Audrey has already planned everything.

And this short story is being staged according to her own script, which made her realize more deeply what the real "audience" is.
