Chapter 48 Dark Demon was caught eating popcorn
ED-Jue
Emma left without looking back after that.
But the atmosphere between White and Robert froze in an instant!
...
"⊙▽⊙"
Dark was surprised.
Combining what he saw on Monday and many strange behaviours between the two of them recently, Dark roughly understood what was going on.
But what he didn't understand was how the relationship of the trio worsened to the point of falling apart.
‘Was it because he wasn’t putting pressure on them as a villain?’
‘It couldn't be, right?’
No matter what, Dark became interested in the follow-up development.
Emma completely broke her relationship with White and Robert, and the relationship between White and Robert was also split due to the last words of Emma.
Then, would White turn to Emma to rebuild the old relationship, or would he stay with Robert?
‘It is like watching drama!’
Thinking he could go to Traveller Street later, Dark decided to continue observing how it would develop while eating popcorn.
...
In any case, White did listen to Emma's last words. The key was that Robert's behavior of repeatedly slowing him down this week made him realize that Emma's reminder wasn’t unfounded.
Yes, White gradually realized the source of the problem.
This was also the main reason for the gradual rigidity of the atmosphere.
Before the air completely solidified, Robert finally couldn't help but say, "White, don't tell me you seriously believe Emma's words and want to..."
White chuckled awkwardly and patted Robert on the shoulder, "What are you talking about? Robert, we are good friends who have been together since the beginning of school. Since this damn debt is gone, should we go shopping on Traveller Street or go back for a round of magic chess?"
"Whew, don't scare me." Robert heaved a sigh of relief. "Of course we need to go back to the library..."
White was taken aback on the spot and said in astonishment, "Seriously? The library?"
Robert chuckled awkwardly and said, "Neither the homework for arithmetic class nor for the history of magic has been finished yet, have they?"
Probably Emma would never have thought that the words she said to White would have a greater impact on Robert than on White!
In that almost stagnant atmosphere, Robert finally realized that if he didn't make any changes, he would lose the "son of hero", as a friend, completely.
...
Seeing the two of them really headed towards the library, Dark's gaze gradually became weird, and he walked out of the corner, thinking.
‘Hmmm? I wonder how long it can last.’
Once a relationship had a crack, it couldn't be repaired easily.
Dark pondered while walking in the direction where Emma disappeared.
‘Speaking of which, Emma actually wants to go to the girls' tea party? What changed her?’
...
Emma Mortis's change was, of course, because of Dark's speech after winning the competition. She wanted to try the so-called "Allocating the right amount of time for work and rest".
That was to use some interesting activities to relax from the boring study, leaving some rest time for the brain, so that the brain could be more efficient at work.
She learned about the tea party on Traveller Street on a flyer that was given to her by a little maid when she was passing by the forest coffee shop last week.
At that time, she threw the flyer away, but her memory was really good.
The forest coffee shop was a coffee shop with the theme of "real forest". As long as the guests stepped into the shop, they would enter the scope of [Forest field spell card].
Enjoying the aromatic coffee in the tranquil environment of huge trees had unique charms.
This time, the girls’ tea party was held by senior students in the name of a book club, mainly for knowledge exchange between the girls of the Department of Literature.
Emma felt this kind of entertainment might suit her.
So in order to become better, she stepped out of her own cage called "seek knowledge".
...
Human personality wasn’t innate.
Even the characters with early personality in the books would change with the development of the books.
Would it be depravity or growth?
It depended on the character.
...
Dark also understood it well.
He entered the lake center pavilion after Emma, chose one of the two free stone tables, then sat down on one of the stone stools, twisted his butt slightly, and was lucky to be able to teleport at the first try.
Once again walking out of the lake pavilion and crossing the garden-style bridge known as the "outfit-changing bridge", he reached Traveller Street.
Not seeing it for a week, Traveller Street became a little unfamiliar again.
Dark didn't rush to the Morgan Store, but walked around in a shop selling potted plants.
It was forbidden to keep pets in the castle of Saint Marian Academy, but no one forbade keeping flowers and plants. Even Professor Thompson of Potions Class occasionally mentioned some interesting potted plants during the class, and recommended to students to try raising them.
Among them, for example, in front of Dark... Cat Grass!
As soon as he entered this shop, Dark’s attention was drawn away by the cat grass placed in the most conspicuous place, and he almost forgot his purpose of visiting the store-Worm Tree.
The so-called cat grass was a plant that looked exactly like a cat except the tail which was a rhizome!
Every spring and autumn, beautiful flowers would grow on top of the cat grass' head.
The academy prohibited raising cats, but it was allowed to raise cat grasses, which was a mystery.
Although the roots of cat grass must be planted in the soil, as long as they wanted, they could move by dragging the flower pot...
Even if it left the soil for a short time, it wouldn't wither immediately.
More importantly, they would also meow and had most of the cat's habits except for excretion and eating.
→In other words, there was no need to shovel their poo poo and buy cat food.
Instead, there was a potion called "cat juice".
Pouring "cat juice" on the cat grass every day, and taking it out to bask under the sun was all it needed!
As far as Dark knew, after the opening of Traveller Street last week, many girls had a pot of cat grass in their dormitories.
For example, Rose bought an orange Garfield.
"Cats are really a good companion that can heal one’s mind."
Dark scratched the chin of a short-eared cat and couldn't help but say.
"Do you think so too?"
There was a familiar scent suddenly behind him, and Dark shivered suddenly, as if he was a kitty that had encountered a lion, even his toes became tense.
As if the fragrant scent was stroking the back of his neck, even if he didn't look back, he could feel the heavy pressure!
He continued petting the cat, and asked in doubt, "Senior sister, why are you here?"
Senior Sister Pandora chuckled lightly, "I followed you."
Dark, "mhm, you are here to buy cat juice?"
Pandora, "It's really hard to fool you!"
