Weird Stories: Gothic Lolita Begins

I've gotten used to this kind of thing, especially when a whole city of people are used to it and never get tired of it.

After Carlodila happily finished her missionary act, she saw that the plaster-like "Eighth Hero" seemed to have crashed and didn't respond for a long time. She tilted her head and thought about it, and then she suddenly realized something with a bit of acting.

The next second, Carlodila turned her hand and put away the profound and ominous "Eternal Darkness Canon". She turned it again, and a book with golden corners, white cover, and a sense of holiness and splendor, replaced the "Eternal Darkness Canon" and was held in her hand.

- This is the "Glorious Canon", a version compiled by Kampers and not suitable for external transmission.

"It seems that you are not interested in our Lord Chang'an... Then, please allow me to take up a little more time to introduce you to our Lord Chang'an's twin gods - the Principle of Glory, He..."

Carlodila happily began the second round of performances, and had no intention of taking care of the emotions of the only audience present - or maybe not.

...

"Huh, I said a lot in one breath..." Carlodila contentedly put away the "Holy Book of Glory" that she had never opened from beginning to end, and asked the "Eighth Hero" who looked like a plaster statue with a smile, "How is it, after listening to so many introductions, do you have even a little interest?"

"..." The "Eighth Hero" who was unfortunately forced to serve as a passerby background board said slowly after several seconds, "You... are indeed not the same as that woman..."

"Of course not." Carlodila said affirmatively, "There are many people who "work" for that great existence, I am just one of them..."

"... Very interesting statement." The "Eighth Hero" said slowly as always.

"Then," Carlodila asked again, "Can you tell me the whereabouts of the 'Otherside Orb'?"

The "Eighth Hero" shook his head slightly and said without emotion: "Unfortunately, we don't know its exact whereabouts, we only know that it is in a place called 'Underworld'."

"...So where is the 'Underworld'!?" Carlodila felt a little crazy.

"We really don't know about this..." The "Eighth Hero" explained, "The word 'Underworld' is the only relatively clear revelation I got from divination based on the clues revealed in the daily conversation of the 'Goddess'."

"...Okay." Carlodila sighed lightly and changed the subject helplessly, "What's your name?"

"Euphilia, Euphilia Weston." The "Eighth Hero" said.

Hearing this, Carlodila was stunned for a moment and asked in confusion: "This seems to be a female name..."

——As far as she knows, the "eight heroes" following the "Savior Goddess" are all classic handsome men... Even the "First Hero" with the least outstanding appearance has a good figure.

"Yes, this is my real name." The "Eighth Hero", a plaster-like human figure who calls herself Euphilia, said so, "It is also my real gender."

"..."

After a moment of silence, Carlodila asked tentatively: "To get close to the 'Savior Goddess'?"

"Yes... just a trivial price." Euphilia's tone did not change, and she really didn't think it was something worth caring about.
