Chapter 291 - Klein's Thoughts
28 Golden Street, in the bedroom on the third story of the villa.
As Xio ate the dessert that Mrs. Skade had prepared for her daily, she told Ebner about what had happened today.
"In other words... You went to the police station to interrogate a detective nad Sherlock Moriarty and confird that this is a major case involving foreign spies?" Ebner asked with a slightly odd expression.
After Miss Judgnt cleansed The Fool, she began interrogating The Fool again...
If I were to tell this "operation" to the future Miss Hermit, I wonder if she can co up with so strange "Mystical Re-enactnt"?
Xio naturally couldn't hear the criticisms in Ebner's mind. She saw the odd look on his face, but she didn't think too much about it. She nodded and recounted what she had seen and heard from MI9 in detail. Finally, she asked,
"That youth nad Ian ca to you?"
"As you know, I wasn't in Backlund before," Ebner said with a shrug.
But from your attitude... I have a nagging feeling that you know why he's here... Xio thought, but she didn't ask further.
There had to be a reason why he didn't want to say it. At this point, Xio trusted her friend very much.
Furthermore, the main reason why she ca to Ebner's house late at night wasn't because of the MI9 mission, but because she wanted to find a safe place to pray to Mr. Fool... She wanted to inform Mr. Fool of Miss Justice's misunderstanding, as well as her friend's predicant, and pray for "Him" to bless her at the corresponding ti.
"Pray to Mr. Fool... At this mont?" After hearing Xio's intentions, Ebner's expression turned even odder.
Miss Judgnt, you nearly lashed Mr. Fool with the Whip of Pain in the interrogation room just now, and now you're disturbing his sleep in the middle of the night... Is that really okay?
Xio clearly had other misunderstandings about Ebner's expression as she said helplessly, "I also know that I'm a little rash... After all, I haven't accumulated enough contributions from Mr. Fool... I haven't even finished repaying the Roselle diary I owe you!
"But tomorrow is the night of the full moon. You know about Fors's situation as well. Although she tried her best to hide it, I realized that she had been holding on all this ti..."
If nothing unexpected happens, Fors should be able to survive this ti. She was originally pulled into the gray fog by Mr. Fool during the next full moon... But the plot has already been pushed to this point by my "butterfly," so nothing is certain. Therefore, Xio's worries are reasonable...
Ebner nodded thoughtfully, and then he heard Xio continue,
"In addition, I also need your help... As this involves the Intis ambassador's case, I might not have the ti to return ho tomorrow night. Can you help
keep an eye on Fors? Once she really can't hold on any longer... Let her recite Mr. Fool's honorific na."
Fors probably read it herself, so there's no need for
to get involved... With this in mind, Ebner nodded without hesitation. "No problem."
Seeing that Ebner had agreed, Xio heaved a sigh of relief and completely relaxed. For her, Ebner was much more reliable than she was on such a major matter.
As she relaxed, Xio recalled the scene of the three of them having a al at East Borough's restaurant. She felt that there was deep aning in what Ebner had said back then and couldn't help but ask,
"I rember that you told Fors the first ti you t her that the problem with her can only be resolved by praying for the blessings of a deity... Back then, we all thought that you were being perfunctory... Now that I think about it, were you already hinting at us to pray to Mr. Fool?"
Hint? That's not a hint... It's just a "prophecy" about your future in a certain sense...
Ebner also recalled the scene back then. Although it had only been less than four months, it felt like it had happened a long ti ago... Back then, he was a "warrior" who dared to say anything. It was nothing like now. He even hid the tiny matter of the Intis Ambassador...
Although this matter involved a "Bravehearts" who dared to challenge the two pillars,
After a self-deprecating laugh, Ebner reined in his scattered thoughts and deliberated over his words. "You're overthinking things. I hadn't entered Mr. Fool's kingdom back then."
Even Mr. Fool himself was hanging in Sefirah Castle back then.
Xio nodded in a noncommittal manner and didn't press further. She then put down the cake and sweet ice tea and piously lowered her head as she chanted softly,
"The Fool that doesn't belong to this era..."
...
In the terrace house at Cherwood Borough's 15 Minsk Street.
Mr. Fool wasn't asleep at the mont. He had just explained to his landlord, Mr. Samr, and his wife about killing soone at ho, and he had received their understanding.
This made Klein, who had been in fear the entire night, sigh inwardly.
Mr. and Mrs. Samr are, in essence, still nice people. If it were a an landlord, I would've been refunded and asked to get lost after what happened tonight...
After returning to his rented apartnt, Klein tidied up the furniture that had been destroyed during the fight before getting ready for bed.
But at that mont, he suddenly heard stacked illusory pleas.
...
In the ancient palace above the gray fog, Klein, who repeatedly confird that he wasn't under strict surveillance, finally took four steps counterclockwise and arrived in this mysterious space.
He glanced at the constantly shrinking crimson star and confird that the prayer was from Miss Judgnt.
What would happen to Miss Judgnt? Could it be that she wants to report the ambassador's case to ? Or did she encounter danger while investigating the case?
Regardless of which it was, it was sothing he desperately wanted to know. Therefore, as Klein sat in The Fool's seat, he extended his right hand and emanated his spirituality to touch the corresponding crimson star.
Suddenly, the pleas beca clear and layered. Klein quickly understood what Judgnt was talking about.
He was sowhat disappointed that he received no useful information, but he found Miss Judgnt's report rather interesting.
The friend Miss Justice spent so much effort to pull into the gathering had long been recomnded to
by Mr. Tower...
It's no wonder Miss Judgnt had to disguise herself to that extent at the Tarot Club...
This world sure is small!
After sighing a few tis, Klein turned his attention to the second thing Miss Judgnt had reported.
Ravings during the full moon? Suspected to co from the ancestor of the Abraham family? How should I resolve this? It seems like a secret deed doesn't have such an effect... Besides, with the Morning Star of Depravity gone, I don't have any other high-level items to replace it...
Wait, based on Miss Judgnt's description, the lady nad Fors only showed signs of losing control when she heard the ravings... Then, would she be able to calm down and improve if she stopped hearing them?
Yes, if that lady really can't hold on any longer and prays for my help, I'll pull her into the gray fog as a guest... As for whether I'll let her join the Tarot Club... I'll think about it after I beco a Sequence 7... There's nothing I can do at the mont.
Furthermore, this way, Miss Judgnt will be in debt to The Fool, and I can openly order her to help
investigate certain matters.
