Mystery: When the Fool Meets the Masked Fool

Chapter 124 Big Flirting Moth

Fujimaru Ritsuka was feeling a little down, and Klein wasn't very willing to stay with Amon.

So the three of them decided to go shopping separately.

Klein chose an upward path. The venue was very much in the style of Alysia. Flowers and grass lined the roadside, and the sky was a rosy pink with floating clouds.

"Is there anyone here? Help!" Klein heard a cat's meow.

Paduo? Klein looked in the direction of the sound and saw a treasure chest emitting the sound of Paduo. The treasure chest opened slightly, revealing a pair of struggling legs.

What is this? Performance art?
It looks like the cat is in trouble. Was it killed by the treasure chest monster?

But fortunately, he still shouted for help. Unlike a clear-headed college student who fell into a pit and only shouted hello.

"What is this? A treasure chest monster? It's trying to trick people by disguising itself as a familiar voice." Klein took a step back, pretending to be wary.

He had already confirmed through clairvoyance that there was indeed someone inside, although he was not sure if it was Paddo.

At this moment, Klein changed his mind and felt that it might be Velvet.

He suddenly wasn't sure whether to save her or not, as he felt that if he walked forward he would be instantly bounced into the sky by a spring that came from nowhere.

"Ah, Brother Ke, save me." The cat's meow came out of the treasure chest again, and Padu's legs continued to struggle, "Brother Ke, I don't want to die!"

"Is it really that serious?" Klein smiled and stopped teasing Padu. He tied Padu's legs with the silk thread of domination and took her on a fire jump.

puff.

Pardo fell to the ground.

Then, she rolled over and got up from the ground: "Ah, I'm finally saved."

"Why are you in there?" Klein asked, crossing his arms.

"You don't understand this, Brother Ke. It's the adventurer's duty to open a treasure chest when you see one," Padu said proudly.

"Ha." Klein chuckled. "Then do you still want to open this box?"

"Hehe, then I'll leave it to you, Brother Tok." Padu clasped his hands together.

Klein casually clapped his hands, and the fateful echo of [Protection] erupted, shattering the treasure chest.

The treasure chest was shaken and scattered all over the ground. Inside it were only thirty Paradise Fragments, which were the common currency here.

"Look, Brother Ke, this is a reward for the brave." Padu excitedly stepped forward and picked up all the fragments.

"Then shouldn't I get some?" Klein said half-jokingly but seriously.

This is a good thing that can be cashed out.

"Hmm..." Padu was in a dilemma.

"Then I'll give you five." Padu picked out five fragments and handed them to Klein.

"It would be great if my master key was still there. It would be easier to open the treasure chest. Brother Ke, why don't you accompany me to get the master key?" Pado tried to issue a side quest.

"There's no need for that. I have a master key here too." Klein refused to accept the mission and directly took out the key item for the mission.

"Ah? Why do you have it too?" Maomao was shocked.

"Vilvi gave it to me," Klein spread his hands. "Although you described her as terrifying when I first came to Paradise, I found she's actually very easy to talk to. As long as you truly find her inventions interesting, she'll treat you as a good friend."

The Tarot Club's reckless and cowardly nature is such that when they encounter something that is not fatal, they will instinctively try to commit suicide. This makes it easy for Klein to match Velvet's brain waves.

"This... is a bit difficult." Paduo suddenly felt that Klein seemed not to be a normal person.

But soon, Paddo put this doubt behind her because there were more important things to do now.

The two most greedy cats in the paradise are here, so no treasure chest can escape their eyes.

Any treasure chest will eventually be brought to justice.

The two cats looked at each other and understood each other's thoughts.

The two people's ideas were surprisingly consistent.

Since the builder here dared to put the treasure chest outside, let her know what it means to be invaded by the enemy.

Team Cats, attack.

the other side,
"This is truly a beautiful place." Merlin, in his spirit form, followed Fujimaru Ritsuka. "It's even comparable to my Utopia."

"Lung Mist Merlin." Fujimaru Ritsuka didn't follow Merlin's topic, "You still need a Command Seal to get in."

"That's too much. I'm going to cry." Merlin said in a voice that sounded sad but also smiling.

"Are you sure it's this direction?" Fujimaru Ritsuka still didn't respond to Merlin.

"Of course, my clairvoyance has already spotted the person you're looking for. After all, I'm also a candidate for the Grand Mage."

This time, Fujimaru Ritsuka took over the conversation: "Is he the Grand Master Magician who bites his tongue when he chants a spell?"

“That’s too much.”

Following Merlin's guidance, Fujimaru Ritsuka wandered around and came to a garden, where he found Grayshu facing a wall.

At this moment, she was holding a paintbrush and copying the pattern on the wall.

Paint from different angles, different colors, and different moods.

Grace noticed the arrival of Fujimaru Ritsuka: "It's Fujimaru Ritsuka sister, and the strange big brother."

"Oh, can little Grace see this?" Fujimaru Ritsuka asked curiously as he approached. How could she be so perceptive despite being so young?
"Yeah, the color, it's obvious." Grace said obediently.

Fujimaru Ritsuka nodded and turned to look in Merlin's direction: "Even a child can see through your disguise, Lung Mist."

No one responded.

She came to Gretsch and bent down slightly: "Little Gretsch, what are you drawing?"

"I'm not painting anymore, I'm feeling it." Grace answered in her signature soft voice.

She pointed to the murals in front of her: "I am feeling their stories."

"Feeling the story...that's a really interesting way of putting it." Fujimaru Ritsuka followed Grace's finger.

It was a circle, with several circles inside. A thin, needle-like line extended downward from the bottom of the circle, and above it were several feather-like objects. "That painting was strange. The colors and emotions were all opposites. It was full of white, black, happiness, and sadness."

"Because that's what the painting looks like." A gentle but emotionless voice came from behind the two of them.

"Ah, it's Mother Aponya." Grace turned around to look.

Fujimaru Ritsuka also turned around. She had never seen Aponia, but had heard about her from Amon.

She is said to be a super big sister.

After seeing this, Fujimaru Ritsuka's bad mood of the day suddenly disappeared by half.

Super big sister!

Hiss, hiss.

Ritsuka Fujimaru is showing signs of returning to Gudako's form.

It turns out that being in a bad mood is just bullshit. A beautiful older sister can solve all problems.

If the problem can't be solved, it must be because the elder sister is not old enough.

Aponia was wearing a white nun's uniform and floating in the air about ten centimeters above the ground. Behind her was a pair of faint golden butterfly wings, making her look like a large fluttering moth.

What attracted Fujimaru Ritsuka the most was her grandeur and generosity.

According to the law of universal gravitation, the larger the object, the greater its gravitational pull. As expected, Fujimaru Ritsuka's eyes were firmly drawn to it.

I feel like this great maternal love is about to overflow!

It turns out that bigger is better!

"This... this is the woman who can become my mother." Fujimaru Ritsuka muttered to himself.

Grayshu suddenly turned her head and looked at Fujimaru Ritsuka warily.

"Mother Aponia, you are mine." Grace's tone was soft but firm.

thump.

Fujimaru Ritsuka felt something hit his head.

There was an echo, a hollow one.

"Master, pay attention to your image." The invisible Merlin reminded.

"Ahem." Fujimaru Ritsuka coughed twice, wiped his saliva, and regained his composure.

Aponia slowly floated over, looked at the mural, and explained to Gretchen, "It's an ancient ballad: One day, He fell from the sky. People looked up, and saw the starry sky."

…………

Along the road, Amon came to a library.

He always felt that taking the main road was not a wise choice, because along the way, monsters would spawn in any slightly open place.

Although they couldn't stop Amon at all, it was still too troublesome.

After going through 81 difficulties, Amon finally arrived at this tall building and entered the library.

The large room was spacious and quiet, surrounded by rows of bookshelves filled with various books and files.

On the table in the center of the room stood a machine, conspicuously visible. It seemed to be a telegraph, but not quite.

If Klein were here, he would definitely recognize that this is a typewriter.

"This is the archives of Paradise." Alicia appeared out of nowhere.

"I've always been curious about how you suddenly appeared near me. Theoretically, I shouldn't have been unaware of it." Amon looked at Alicia curiously.

"Hmm...how should I explain it? This is a world constructed by memory, and we are also memories. In other words, we and the environment here can theoretically be considered one." Alicia thought for half a second and explained.

"I see. That's really interesting." Amon adjusted his monocle and tried to steal the memory in front of him.

"Oh, don't do that." Alicia stopped him immediately. In an instant, Amon found that he could not steal anything.

"Oh, is this the [authority]?" Amon glanced at his empty hand.

"Hmm." Alicia smiled playfully.

Amon shifted his gaze and saw a doll placed next to the printer on the table. It was a Q version of Alicia with a pair of small wings on its back. "Oh wow, there's a doll of yours here too?"

"How is it? Very cute, right? This is the librarian here." Alicia picked up the doll.

"Administrator? So she's alive?" Amon activated his clairvoyance. "Oh, I saw her spirit. No, it should be considered her memory?"

"Hmm, do you want to try to wake her up? Just like a prince kisses a sleeping princess to wake her up?" Alicia handed the doll to Amon.

"Oh? What should I do?" Amon took the doll and wondered whether to kiss it.

"Here, this is her wake-up word. You have to read it out loud, otherwise it won't work." Alicia handed Amon a piece of paper with a wicked smile.

Amon took a look and said, "Oh, this is really interesting. Should we speak louder?"

Alicia nodded expectantly: "Be loud."

"Okay." Amon agreed.

Then, Amon used his identity as Amon to steal the extraordinary ability to deceive his mentor.

Then he tricked the sky into thinking it was a megaphone.

Finally, Amon spoke, and his voice echoed throughout the Eternal Paradise.

"Dear! Ai Li Xiya!"

The rumbling sound spread throughout the entire Eternal Paradise, scaring everyone in the paradise.

You want me to be shy? Ha, what a joke, I, Amon, don't have that kind of emotion at all.

"Well, even I would feel embarrassed for such a confession." Alicia, who has high offense and low defense, covered her face with her hands, feeling a little shy.

Just Alicia, how ridiculous.

The fairy Ellie in Amon's hand slowly opened her eyes.
