Mystery: Mr. Witch and Ms. Hunter

Chapter 156 Planning
"After dinner, you can go to the deck and exercise for a while."

Soon, Wendy returned to the room with a few food boxes. "But don't stay too late - the sea breeze in the port is very cold, especially at night."

Adele combed Sophie's hair, and they sat at the table and opened the tin lunch boxes in front of them.

The lunch box contained a piece of meat steak, some food similar to pork stew, a small amount of pickled vegetables and some kind of jam and cream.

"Although this is a port city famous for whaling, I personally think that the most delicious seafood is not whale meat or its products."

Wendy gathered her hair to one side and said, "Try these."

"That steak is from the spine of a turtle, and this stew is from dolphin liver... This is canned sea cucumber, which is very popular in the Sonia Islands. The cream is made from whale milk and anemone jam, which is rarely found on land."

Wendy introduced them in detail.

"Is this all the food you eat at sea?" Vinata sniffed the fragrance floating in the air and felt a little hungry.

"Of course not. Today we are celebrating their finding a new engineer. According to the rules at sea, when a new crew member comes on board, a banquet made entirely of seafood should be prepared to entertain him. However, most of the time the food at sea is very monotonous, and people often get scurvy and other diseases because they can't eat fresh fruits and vegetables."

Wendy scooped up a spoonful of the chowder and spread it on the bread.

"In fact, if you are curious, you can also take a look around this ironclad ship. After all, the opportunity to get close to an ironclad ship or even board it is not always available." Wendy sighed, "Thanks for this hard-won peace - even though it almost made me unemployed."

"Unemployed?" Adele keenly caught the word.

"Yes, didn't I tell you?" Wendy pointed at herself. "I used to be a member of the shipyard here, and I also contributed to the completion of this ironclad ship. However, after the war, the people of the Steam Church withdrew. Although they left the Kingdom of Loen with the technology of ironclad ships, the kingdom lacked a large number of skilled workers. I'm afraid that they will not be able to manufacture new ironclad ships in the short term."

"In other words, I was basically unemployed, so I had to return to Azshara to be a believer in knowledge. But I found that because I hadn't been back to Lenburg for a long time, my laboratory had been divided among others by the church. I had no choice but to return to the Sea of ​​​​Interval with my equipment and become a marine biologist..."

Wendy took the kettle and took a sip, feeling a little depressed.

……

Afterwards, Miss Wendy, who had successfully talked herself into depression, quickly finished her meal and hid away to be in seclusion.

Adele and the other two also had dinner and sat on the bed, quite contentedly.

Adele took out the lip gloss from her pocket, confirmed that there was no sign of rust on it, opened the lid, and found that the color of the lip gloss was bright red. She carefully applied the lipstick on her lips and injected spirituality into the lip gloss box.

The moment the lip gloss touched her lips, Adele felt herself calm down, as if what she had applied on her lips was not lip gloss, but something like mint cream that had a strong stimulating effect. With the help of the lip gloss, her lips seemed to have some kind of subtle connection with her spirit.

Adele then tucked Sophie into bed and sang a lullaby softly, using the song as a medium to make anyone who heard it feel drowsy.

Of course, before using her extraordinary ability, she secretly released the spirit in the bracelet that was used to communicate with Vinata, possessed Vinata, told her her plan, and used the spirit to block the influence of hypnosis on Vinata.

After Sophie and Wendy fell asleep, Adele and the others left the bedroom next to the engine room. Adele used her invisibility ability to cover Vinata. Although the witch's invisibility was greatly weakened after bringing someone with her, and in the eyes of the Beyonders, it was almost the same as not being invisible, but it was not difficult to deceive a group of ordinary sailors on a ship with poor lighting conditions.

"You can use extraordinary abilities now?"

The two of them came to the deck and leaned against the railing. Their voices were not loud, almost completely drowned out by the sea breeze. Adele did not cancel her invisibility, because this status-based skill only consumes spiritual power when it is turned on and off, so she simply kept it on to avoid being disturbed by sailors.

"I guess so. Although it hasn't fully recovered, it already has the basic ability to defend itself. It may be because it has digested a lot of the witch's potion."

"It digests very quickly."

Vinata was a little surprised. "You secretly played the witch?"

"…In a sense, that's true."

Adele hesitated for a moment, but still answered. Although she didn't mean to do it behind Vinata's back, after all, Vinata was not present when she seduced the sailor.

"...I told you before that I would keep an eye on your free meal ticket and not let you have the chance to hook up with noble ladies. I didn't expect that you would actually hook up with men now..."

Vinata's face was filled with grief. Although she and Adele were both invisible, Adele could guess her expression just by listening to her voice. Especially after feeling the trembling of her hands as she tried to hold back her laughter, Adele became even more depressed.

"Can we not talk about this?"

Adele felt her blood pressure suddenly rise.

The two of them quarreled for a while, and suddenly fell silent at the same time. The only sounds on the deck were the sea breeze and the waves.

After a while, Adele felt that Vinata seemed to turn around and face the sea. She hesitated for a while, then groped and hugged Vinata's broad back from behind.

She could feel the little leopard-like body tremble slightly.

"……Jealous?"

Adele asked softly.

"...Yeah." Vinata nodded.

"Then I'll pay attention next time." Adele said.

"it is good."

Vinata nodded again and adjusted her body slightly, as if to get Adele closer.

The two stood like this for a few minutes, then shivered at the same time.

"It's so cold... Let's finish our conversation and go back." Adele blew on her hands.

"Would you like me to light a fireball to keep warm?" Vinata suggested.

"Forget it, it's too conspicuous..."

Adele shook her head. "I have hypnotized Sophie. She will probably sleep until seven tomorrow morning. Ms. Wendy will probably wake up around the same time."

"Although I didn't want to involve Ms. Wendy, this hypnosis is mediated by sound. When I sang the lullaby, she might have been affected. There's no other way. I can't leave Sophie alone with Ms. Wendy, right?"

(This week the morning release time has been changed to 12 o'clock, the schedule is a bit tight)
