Chapter 338: It Turns Out They Had been Proper

“I actually can’t heal the dwelling.” Harvey hurriedly stopped Ashe, whereas Lise rapidly hid behind Harvey. “Alright, assuming, assuming what you’re saying is true, that you just immediately have a approach with ladies… what do you need to analysis?”

“I need to know why I’ve a approach with ladies.”

“After which?”

“After which?” Ashe was greatly surprised. “Simply… stick with it, and hopefully, discover a stepmother for Lise quickly?”

“That’s it.” Harvey shrugged. “You don’t have to know why; you simply have to get pleasure from this hard-earned happiness. Anyway, by the point we go away Vamora, try to be detoxified…”

“Harvey, your Alice isn’t round. I recommend you assume twice earlier than you converse.”

After a quick commotion, the three sat down once more. Harvey mentioned, “Let’s transfer on to the subsequent subject—Ashe, you mentioned Annan has been hitting you a large number currently?”

Though the phrase ‘hitting’ felt unusual, Ashe nodded. “Sure.”

Harvey: “I feel this may be implying one thing.”

“Implying what?”

“Implying dissatisfaction. What have you ever been doing nowadays?”

“I haven’t completed something.” Ashe scratched his head. “All I do each day is play video games and eat, always bettering my command abilities. Sometimes, I apply Gunmanship with Lise and Banjeet. I haven’t completed the rest.”

Lise nodded in settlement. Training Gunmanship with the butler was her concept. Ashe had promised her earlier than however then forgot, though Lise actually hadn’t.

“That’s precisely it,” Harvey mentioned. “It’s since you haven’t completed something.”

“What do you imply?”

“Despite the fact that Annan says she doesn’t anticipate any efficiency from you, deep down she hopes you’ll take the initiative to begin a relationship and intention for the second rating listing. It’s like how I don’t ask a lot from corpses, however I nonetheless hope they will change into necromantic creatures on their very own.”

“I get it. The younger girl says she’s giving me a break, however she secretly expects me to work additional time without cost!”

The Company Slave and the necromancer, utilizing completely different metaphors, reached a consensus—Annan is a tsundere streetlamp.

“And now it’s your flip.” Ashe checked out Lise. “Inform me, what did you do with my Substitute?”

Lise’s eyes darted round. “Oh, nothing a lot, simply had him assist out as a mannequin… By the best way, I’ve a query too. Can falling in love actually change an individual’s character? I’ve lately met a number of older sisters—some are critical, some are black-hearted, some are chilly, and a few are even dumber than me. However after they fell in love, all of them turned mild, usually daydreaming and smiling foolishly. Is love actually that highly effective?”

“That’s an ideal query, however I can’t reply it,” Ashe replied with a clean expression.

“It might,” Harvey mentioned whereas chewing on his cake tobacco. “For instance, I’ve lately determined to stop smoking due to somebody.”

Ashe: (°ー°〃).

Lise: Σ(っ°Д°;)っ.

Seeing everybody’s shocked expressions, Harvey was a bit puzzled. “Is it actually that stunning?”

“Harvey, as a result of in my thoughts, you’re the sort who, in your deathbed, would need to mild a cigarette however couldn’t, after which die with that remorse,” Ashe mentioned, and Lise nodded in settlement.

Harvey: “Writing loss of life scripts is the job of a necromancer. Ashe, you appear to have a knack for necromancy. Why not be part of me and change into one among Haagen-Dazs’ lackeys?”

Ashe waved his hand. “No thanks. So, the place did you meet this individual, in a cemetery?”

Harvey shook his head. “Not a cemetery. I simply adopted Annan’s directions and seemed for somebody within the Dream. I wasn’t actually anticipating a lot because it’s onerous to seek out somebody who matches my aesthetic in actuality. However…”

He turned to look out the window, avoiding the father-daughter’s gaze. “I met a lady who seemed rather a lot like Nalber.”

Ashe’s reminiscence wasn’t nice, however he vaguely remembered the title. Given the context and the present temper, this have to be the necromancer’s unrequited love.

Ashe thought that made sense. “Then you definately all have to return over each morning to assist me eat the cake.”

“Why?”

“I can’t end it on my own.”

“Why don’t you simply go away it when you can’t end it?”

“No approach,” Ashe shook his head. “I’ve a robust premonition that if I don’t end the cake, one thing horrible would possibly occur.”

“Why do you’ve got so many premonitions…”

After ending the cake, everybody went their separate methods. Lise led a Substitute away, Harvey went again to his room to decorate up Alice, and Ashe placed on a black gown and headed again to the gaming ground to proceed his imprisonment. He couldn’t clear the dungeon, stored getting crushed up, and needed to keep there all day to enhance his abilities. It was no completely different from being in jail, and the therapy at Shattered Lake Jail was in all probability higher.

Keep away from the Excessive Reducing Carp Overlord Lord; it brings misfortune.

Nonetheless, whereas using the visitor elevator as much as the gaming ground, Ashe encountered the individual he least wished to see-Qenna!

She was nonetheless in her Purple Hat uniform, along with her tall determine standing out within the crowd, her expression chilly and her gaze stern. Even within the crowded elevator, she managed to command the remaining consideration. Seeing this, Ashe couldn’t assist however as soon as once more marvel at Vamora’s household system, which actually disregarded rank and standing. As somebody who wouldn’t dare to trip the identical elevator as his boss at work, he couldn’t think about why unusual clansmen would dare to trip with the patriarch.

In Senhaeser District, Qenna was virtually a dictator. She not solely managed the Purple Hat but additionally had direct authority over any division and will appoint or dismiss any place. Actually, that’s precisely how she ruled, however she didn’t do it on a whim; she adopted the Gospel E book’s suggestions to handle the town.

Though she didn’t have the facility of life and loss of life, Qenna may nonetheless management every thing in Senhaeser with a single hand.

However from his interactions over the previous few days, Ashe seen that the Senhaeser clansmen didn’t appear to concern their patriarch, nor did they respect her a lot. If something, they noticed Qenna as simply one other unusual clansman.

Annan dared to face her floor in entrance of Qenna, not simply because she relied on her daughter’s standing, however maybe additionally because of the sense of equality ingrained in her childhood. Residing on this household, with materials needs considerably diminished, the fact of social hierarchy misplaced its which means. Thus, individuals didn’t revere the highly effective patriarch nor disdain the unusual maid. The patriarch and the maid had been merely clansmen performing their respective duties.

So don’t be afraid, Ashe; you’re simply an unusual clansman now. Simply fake Qenna doesn’t exist!

Ashe then hid within the nook of the elevator, his eyes mounted on the ground buttons.

You possibly can’t see me, you possibly can’t see me…

Nonetheless, it appeared as if Qenna may hear his ideas. She squeezed by way of the group and stood proper behind him, her tall shadow overlaying his again. Ashe targeted intently, not daring to breathe too loudly, afraid to disturb the beast behind him.

The elevator door opened, and some extra clansmen entered, taking over the remaining house. Qenna appeared to be nudged barely, inflicting her to press in opposition to Ashe. He shivered and turned his head to look again, assembly Qenna’s chilly, noble, golden eyes.

Ashe wished he may shrink himself, desperately attempting to flee the gaze of this Sanctuary sorcerer. Nonetheless, it was rush hour, and the elevator was packed. Irrespective of how a lot Ashe tried to flatten himself right into a two-dimensional house, he couldn’t keep away from the patriarch’s physique brushing in opposition to his garments. He may even really feel Qenna’s breath on his hood.

The agonizing elevator trip lastly ended, and so they arrived on the canteen ground. Others filed out, and it appeared Qenna was additionally there for breakfast. Simply as Ashe breathed a sigh of aid, Qenna immediately tapped his shoulder and mentioned expressionlessly, “Your mouth.”

Ashe was startled and touched the correct nook of his mouth, however Qenna shook her head. She reached out and wiped a little bit of cream from the left nook of his mouth along with her finger.

“Th-thank you?”

Qenna gave him a slight nod and rapidly left the elevator, leaving a bewildered Ashe behind.

Their interplay didn’t draw any consideration. The individuals on this metropolis had all their needs glad by the Magnificence Mist, together with their curiosity—that they had little interest in others’ gossip.

Except it was a sensational piece of gossip that might surpass the pleasures of the Magnificence Mist.

Hiding within the crowd, Lucy had been watching the patriarch and Ashe carefully. She recalled the secrets and techniques Ashe had shared along with her. Seeing their interplay now, her curiosity, dormant for over a decade, started to stir.

She additionally acquired off at this ground, following Qenna out. Quickly, she seen a stunning sight—Qenna really put her cream-stained fingertip into her mouth!

After a number of days of cooling down, Lucy had begun to suspect that Ashe and Igor may need been deceiving her, even contemplating reporting them. However at this second, all her doubts vanished.

In order that they had been telling the reality in spite of everything!
