Chapter 39 The Day of Reunion, The Nighttime Talk

As a result, when they came up to sit down, they ended up sitting in Allen's own bedroom.

First of all, the main door downstairs is locked at night, so Allen naturally climbed up the window and tiptoed to open the door. As for Loki, she was too embarrassed to disturb everyone's sleep in the middle of the night, so after entering the house, she wandered around, not knowing where to go.

This back and forth naturally led to the bizarre development of "Why don't you come to my room for a drink of water?"

The candlelight flickered on the table between the two men, who sat facing each other in silence.

Just now, thanks to the darkness and the beautiful moonlight, the two were able to close the distance with just a few words. But now, under the bright candlelight, with each other's faces clearly visible, the awkwardness of having only met once and not seeing each other for two months was blatantly laid bare.

Actually, things were alright up to this point; the key to pushing the atmosphere to the brink of disaster was...

Loki's miniature figurine is still on Allen's desk; it's the detachable kind.

Allen stared blankly at Loki, who was scrutinizing the figurine with a furrowed brow.

Even though I've seen it many times before, the host's intricately linked techniques are still astonishing. First, she pulled the other person into her bedroom, then deliberately showed them the figurines on the table, subtly implying that seeing the objects evoked memories of someone.

The handwriting appeared faintly, and Allen covered his face in deep sorrow.

"Stop messing around, I completely forgot about the figurine. As for the pulling... I can explain, it's actually quite simple, because under the 'dark effect,' it's easy for people to..."

[The darkness effect, huh? Does that mean I need to blow out the candle and then avoid it?]

"No need for that. Thank you."

[A word of caution to the host: if Luo Qixi's favorability rating continues to rise, it will only be a few points at most. Hmm... is this also within the host's expectations? I've spoken out of turn. Well then, I wish you a wonderful evening.]

"Hmm, very good. If you can't speak properly, we suggest you get lost."

Goodnight~

The moment the smoke and dust dissipated, Blue Mother's distinctively cold voice reached Allen's ears.

"What's wrong? Are you not feeling well?"

Allen looked up in surprise at Loki, who had already taken off her magic robe and was sitting upright in her chair, looking slightly awkward but trying to appear calm.

But somehow she had already shifted her gaze from her figurine to Allen.

The candlelight flickered in her deep blue, lake-like eyes, creating beautiful green ripples.

Allen looked into Loki's eyes and murmured.

"I felt uncomfortable before, but I feel better now."

At this moment, just as at that moment.

Seeing Allen's suddenly blank expression, Luo Qixi blinked.

"Are you saying something flirtatious to girls again? I don't quite understand."

Allen was overjoyed.

"That's great!"

【.】

Luo Qixi glanced at him with a slightly strange look, but didn't delve into it. She then turned to look at the bedroom and looked around.

"It brings back so many memories; this is the room I lived in for two years."

"Yes, there are no beds in the other rooms. This is the only guest room. We'll have to wait until the master and mistress get up tomorrow to prepare it. You'll have to sleep here tonight."

Allen froze before he could finish speaking.

"Damn, what kind of line is that?!"

Upon hearing this, Luo Qixi turned her gaze back to the figurines on the table, but she didn't misunderstand anything and simply said calmly.

"Yeah, it's too late. I'll just have to make do with sleeping on the table for the night. By the way, this doll was Rudy's work, wasn't it?"

Allen looked at the overly realistic miniature version of Loki on the table, and his forehead twitched.

"Why don't you ask him yourself tomorrow?"

Luo Qixi turned her head and looked into Allen's eyes with a puzzled expression.

"Oh? Could it be that you did it?"

As she spoke, Luo Qixi reached out to touch the figurine, shook her head helplessly, then covered her mouth with her hand, yawned, and leaned forward onto the table.

Their gazes fell once again on the dazed Allen.

"Familiar earth magic. It must have been him. He's such a precocious kid. I almost forgot you're quite young too. By the way, Eren, what trouble did you get into in the capital that caused this at home? Well, it's okay if you can't say."

Allen scratched his head.

"Actually, there's nothing wrong with talking about it. It's just a matter of power struggles among nobles. You may not know, but the tradition of the Boreas family is that the successors to the next head of the family will have a power struggle when they are young. The winner is chosen as the next head of the family, while the losers must give their male offspring to the winner as their 'biological child' at birth, in order to avoid potential internal strife in the family due to the power struggle in the future."

At this point, Allen raised his finger and pointed to his face.

"And I am such an adopted son. Although I was raised by James in the capital, I am actually the eldest son of Philip, the mayor of Roya."

Luo Qixi rested her head on her arm, her eyes half-closed and slightly wide open.

"Mayor Philip? Then how do you know you're Mayor Philip's child?"

Allen lies without thinking, and in order to cover up the fact that he had read the novel and wanted to participate in the No-Job Grand Event, he chose the explanation that sounded most reasonable at the moment.

"My so-called mother's differential treatment of the children was so obvious that it aroused my suspicion. Then, through her pregnancy, I determined that another child who was pregnant at the same time as me and who was clearly favored by her was her real son. The rest was simple; I just asked outsiders about the traditions of the Boreas family and found out."

"As for the assassination attempt, has your inquiries been discovered?"

"I'm not sure, but I've always lacked the necessary respect for James, so maybe he had some suspicions. He's very power-hungry, and the ambitious Philip is a huge threat. He had every motive to assassinate me... There's no one else but him, and I haven't offended anyone."

"I see."

"As for seeking refuge with my uncle, it's because I can't directly acknowledge Philip as my father, as James would definitely find out. Fortunately, my uncle accepted me."

Allen stopped speaking and looked at Loki, who was already asleep on the table.

He smiled as he looked at Luo Qixi's sleeping face, and using the subtle control of his power through the Flowing Profound Art, he moved her onto the bed with almost no movement, then turned and blew out the candle.

Then he took out a map and a pen from the drawer.

Moonlight spilled onto the old map, and a new circle was slowly drawn by Allen—the forest to the northeast of Rigate City in Donadi Territory.

Allen's murmured voice rang out.

"In the forest southeast of Rigate City, a thief's hideout for human trafficking has been searching for me. Lokishi's return to Buena Village was the direct trigger for the butterfly effect. Will this location produce more butterfly effects in the future?"

"It's really an eyesore."

On the bed, exhausted from her journey, Luo Qixi suddenly lay down on the soft mattress, and soon began to breathe evenly and almost imperceptibly.
