Miss Witch's Forbidden Book Secret

"Boy friend?"

"girlfriend."

Read 7-Yi?厁4⊙起II Ershiba Temple Tia looked at Vera with a smile.

Vera panicked and pointed at herself: "It can't be me?"

"You're dreaming. She's a very pretty and lovely girl, and we've been good friends for a long time. Of course, as of now, we can't be lovers or anything like that. So, we're just good female friends."

"Oh." Vera breathed a sigh of relief.

She was so scared that she didn't dare to be friends with Tia - if this person told her aunt about her private contact with the Hand of Transformation, she would be furious!

So she would rather stay away from him.

Of course, this was impossible. She could only be thankful that Tia didn't know she had the upper hand over her.

What if this guy finds out one day that he has a killer weapon against her...

　①Phosphorus Clothes⑦Think of the Ninth MasterJiu Eight Vera had no doubts!

This guy would use this as an excuse to make her bark like a puppy, or even tie a chain around himself and play some indescribable shameful game.

The latter part is purely Vera's idea - because this morning a couple who had played too much ended up arguing in the confessional. The reason was that the woman agreed to play the one in the cage, but ended up getting so into the role that she panicked and gave the man a beating with the wooden cangue...

Vera came back to her senses and smacked her lips, saying, "As for birthday gifts, just give it as you see fit. If it's a girl, then give her..."

"Stuffed animal?"

"...Who told you that?"

"Because I bought it when I took her shopping before, and she liked it very much."

"......"

The red-haired girl was stunned for a moment and remained silent for a long time.

Plush toys can be found everywhere, and unless there are really special circumstances, who would be particularly fond of a plush toy!

The one I like is obviously the bastard in front of me!

Although her family was quite good—her aunt was a tactical nun, and even the old bishop was considered a semi-elder in the family—Vera was almost invisible at school. While she was strikingly beautiful, there were many who were. She was the type whose academic performance was mediocre and whose social skills were limited. She knew who she was when she met them, but forgot about them as soon as they graduated.

Especially since she herself doesn't like to actively socialize - as a complete otaku who only squats in her bedroom reading novels after the holidays, she has only seen Tia's life in novels...

Damn you, you deserve to be called an adult!

Especially this kind of people, who are obviously very good at acting but don’t even know it, are even more hateful!

Vera enviously said, "Give her whatever you want. She'll probably be happy with whatever you give her..."

Tia said mercilessly: "Trash."

"Who are you calling a waste?"

"I came to you specifically to seek your experience. I was thinking since you're from the city, you might know a thing or two about fashion."

"Why would anyone care about this? Don't they have to go to work or school?"

“There are also differences between people.”

"Tsk... I'm so jealous..."

"Who do you envy? Not having to go to school and still having friends? I don't mind Verala being my new friend."

"Fuck, that's so corny. I don't want to be friends with you. I'm afraid if something happens one day, you'll stab me in the back..."

"Hakira, you don't trust me! Then I have to tell you, Elvira, we have to be friends for life."

"Who said that?"

"Tia Sulph said so!"

Volume 1: Chapter 59 Sir, what do you do for a living?

"Ms. Tia, I'm really busy right now and don't know what birthday gift to give me..."

In the lobby of the Dagangwan District Police Station, Scarlett was frantically operating the mechanical typewriter she had just learned, typing out each character on the report.

Tia asked politely from the side.

But Miss Scarlett, who was already busy and dizzy, didn't understand what Tia was saying at all. She just felt stars in her eyes and a little man holding a fork on each shoulder shouted: Work! Work! Do you still want to eat?

I was busy with a case yesterday, and when I finally got some rest at night, a reporter named Charles showed up to report on it. I have to write a report this morning...

Scarlett's brain had already crashed, and she said to Tia beside her in a daze: "Why don't you ask Director Roman..."

One dares to say it, and the other dares to believe it.

Tia actually went upstairs to find Roman.

Roman was drinking black tea in the director's office. When he saw Tia walk in, he thought he had encountered some bad luck again.

But unexpectedly, Tia asked about preparing a birthday present for Anne Mercury.

Birthday gift...

Roman considered, "If it's a sixteen or seventeen-year-old, you shouldn't give them gifts that are too ordinary or vulgar. Children are always like that, a little rebellious, even the children of the nobility are no exception. Stacks of gold pounds are suitable for college students; fashionable items are suitable for adults; valuable coins, antiques, and pretentious items are suitable for the middle-aged and elderly."

Tia praised: "Sir, you are indeed experienced in this area. As expected of someone from the National Police Agency, you are good at flattery and sycophancy."

"......"

This is such a compliment, thank you so much...

Roman swallowed his tea without spitting it out and said, "Since you said you want to give a gift, are you going to give it to Anne or Peric?"

Perique is Anne's father, Count Mercury.

Tia asked, "Does it make any difference?"

"There's a huge difference. First, if it's for Anne, it has to go through her in person; if it's for Perique, it has to go through the head maid. Second, a gift for Anne needs to be carefully prepared; while for Perique, the same effort is unnecessary; just giving the right amount of money is enough. Finally, the former must attend the party in person; the latter doesn't have to go. Because the latter isn't essentially a birthday present, but a gift to curry favor with the Mercury family."

"So what gift do you think I need?"

Roman said confidently, "It must be a gift for Annie."

"You really have a keen eye for truth."

"No, no. I just know that with your stingy character, it is absolutely impossible for you to give extra gifts to the Mercury family."

"Ah! The one who knows me is the lord!"

"Same here." Roman was used to Tia's shamelessness and continued, "If it's for little Annie, then we need to think about it. Is there anything she likes?"

"Stuffed animal?"

"That was a gift from a child. Master Sulph, you have to consider your age. You're almost adults. What boy or girl, seventeen or eighteen, would be so devoted to a stuffed toy?"

"Can't you send it off, sir?"

"Of course, if they're lovers, that's perfectly normal. But you have to understand, Inspector, little Annie isn't as straightforward as you. It'll take time for her to grow from soft and gentle to mature and reliable. An adolescent girl like her will inevitably be shy and evasive when faced with sudden feelings. If you rush up and say something like 'I like you,' she won't be prepared for that and might panic and reject you outright."

“People are always filled with fear of the unknown: an uncertain future, the deep sea and nightmares, a life they haven’t experienced, and feelings they haven’t tried. ^(I)30〗~(Seven)?Sulphur13?2er~〈䲳月沂——People need a little comfort zone and a sense of boundaries.

"If you insist on confessing, there are only two options. One is to force her into a corner and force her to respond directly to your questions. But believe me, Count Mercury will beat you to death.

"The other way is to just get along with them slowly. With a child like this, once you've integrated into her comfort zone and are included within her boundaries, many things will just flow naturally."

Roman leaned forward, resting his elbows on the table, his hands crossed in front of his eyes, the mockery in his tone self-evident.

Tia listened to the instructions carefully and even took a notebook to write them down.

You understand so well, sir!

He is obviously single, but why does he seem to have such a rich love life in private?

Tia doesn't have the habit of prying into other people's privacy, but giving a stuffed animal as a gift is indeed inappropriate...

Tia wasn't afraid that Annie wouldn't like it.

Mainly because Count Mercury is also there...

But the things Annie liked - she thought about it and realized that she could actually find them here, and they weren't even that expensive!

Suddenly, an idea struck her, and Tia clapped her hands and said, "I got it!"

Roman looked at the newspaper and said calmly, "Finally chosen? What are you planning to give as a gift?"

"I can't tell you, sir. This has to be a secret!"

Tia said cheerfully, "Thank you so much for your help, Sir! Scarlett was right, you're really good at this."

"Scarlett?"

Roman froze at the sound of Scarlett's name, sweat breaking out on his back.

He is indeed good at getting along with young boys and girls, but this is not because he has rich emotional experience. On the contrary, Roman, who works in the Anti-Suppression Bureau, has completely given up his real emotional life since he graduated at the age of 22.

He knew all this simply because there was a large nightmare 2600 meters underwater where only puppets existed. After entering, extraordinary people could transform and customize the puppets - regardless of gender, age, rich or poor.

In this nightmare like vrchat, online love is of course indispensable!

I guess I can’t count the number of people Roman has dated online, both men and women, because he has several pseudonyms...

What's wrong with that Scarlett!

He remembered that he had never told Scarlett about these things! Damn it, how did you know this?

While Roman was still wondering if he had been exposed, Tia was about to run away. Before opening the door, she suddenly stopped and asked:

"By the way, is Peter Quick's body still there?"

"What do you ask for this?"

Roman took a deep breath to calm himself.

Tia lied, "I'll go check if his body is intact. Maybe there are some clues. After all, you know, I'm a debt collector. It's normal for me to know some forensic knowledge, right?"

“.......” Roman knew with his ass that the black-haired girl wanted to perform the soul extraction ritual again.

"Okay, the body should now be looked after by Vanessa, one of your seniors, but there's a condition."

"Please say."

"As a deal, you go and tell Scarlett that you absolutely, absolutely, absolutely must not tell anyone else about this!"

Tia scratched her head, not understanding, and just nodded and said, "Anything else?"

"Please stay for a moment. A reporter named Charles from the Friday Economic Times came to the police station to report on Scarlett. He left a letter and asked you to write a letterhead. Time is quite tight, as the Friday Economic Times will be published tomorrow. Please write it down now and I will have someone deliver it to you later."

The so-called header is the greeting, signature and date under the title of the news.

Charles asked Tia to write a headline so that she could also sign her name on the news and write a few words, and then she could get a fee.

But Tia looked at the title "Two Newports, Three Hundred and Sixty Thousand Pounds and Echoes of the Slums - Remembering Officer Scarlett Lane, the Conscience of the Newport Police" thoughtfully.

The content is well written. Charles's writing is the kind that deliberately arouses emotions and is highly inflammatory.

Tia thought for a moment and felt that the article was still missing something, so she wrote an introduction next to the manuscript, so that the royalties were not in vain.

As for the signature...

Tia returned the manuscript to Roman.

Just now, Tia was writing with a pen, and Roman was curious about what this girl with outstanding academic performance in school wrote.

But when I picked it up and looked at it——

Volume 1: Chapter 60 This is a Gift

In a manor house in the southern suburbs of the Grand Harbour District, Prince Albert had just finished meeting with municipal officials. He took a comfortable breath and leaned back on the sofa by the fireplace to enjoy his leisure time.

It was Friday, and he estimated that he would be in New York for three more days at most. After that, everything would depend on how Eleanor got along with her new friend.

If the two get along well, he will take Tia on the train and let her spend more time with Eleanor. If they don't get along well, then forget it and he will take Eleanor back to Silver Castle first.

But this matter is not important for the time being. The most important thing is that there are a lot of people to meet in the next two days. Albert couldn't help but have a headache, so he simply picked up the newspaper to divert his attention. The first one he reached for was the Friday Economic News.

There was nothing special about the first report. It was the case of the Twin Snakes Cult that Roman had already told him about - of course, on the surface, it was only described as an illegal pharmaceutical case.

But this author's writing is damn good!

He should have had a cup of black tea! But all he had was damn wine!
