My dear witch, please turn evil according to the script!

Chapter 208 Poor Nash was manipulated.
In the banquet hall, Kalia tiptoed past the members of the society and the city defense soldiers who had already begun to sing the ship's song loudly, and then came to Flam, who was wearing earmuffs but still chose to read in such an environment.

Reading a book next to a group of drunken men who have already started singing and dancing... this is definitely not something an ordinary person would do.

However, Kalia knew that this old man was no ordinary person.

Frum also noticed Kalia's approach.

Or rather, it's hard not to notice.

The necklace, woven from the branches of the World Tree, allowed Flam to spot Kalia almost the instant she approached.

Actually, Flam had already noticed the necklace around Kalia's neck when they were at the city defense headquarters.

She immediately recognized the gems on the necklace as relics left behind by the half-god of evil they had defeated and banished at sea—the so-called relics of the Chaos Brotherhood.

However, she could also see that the evil god's power had disappeared, and the innate magic that Kalia had been almost unable to suppress within her body had also calmed down and, in Flam's magical perspective, began to gradually merge with Kalia.

Instead of being aloof and distant at the beginning, like a puppet being manipulated on strings.

As for the underlying principle, and the fact that Roland gave this thing to Kalia without asking her... she didn't care much.

In a sense, she is also the kind of person who pays more attention to results.

Not to mention, she knew very well that if she got angry at Roland because of the gift he gave to Kalia, her good student would probably disown her.

Although she had raised the child from a young age, Flam was certain that Kalia would abandon her teacher for a man.

I am still too weak in terms of competitiveness against Roland.

So when Flam saw Kalia coming to find her, she was quite surprised.

She put down her book, took out her earplugs, and looked at Kalia, who was already sitting in the chair in front of her, asking, "Didn't you just go out with Roland?"

"Instead of continuing your tryst with him, you came back to find me, your teacher... Ah, I see, you have something to ask of me, right?"

Frum immediately gave a "= w =" look, then sighed softly, "That's true, you won't come looking for me for anything else now."

"Tell me, what happened this time?"

"Let me state in advance that you shouldn't mention anything that's complicated."

"I have something I need to do right now!"

"We'll talk about everything after this is done."

Kalia felt a little embarrassed by what Flam said, but she still smiled and said, "Um... I just wanted to ask about Roland. Is he really alright?"

"To avoid him, I deliberately circled the governor's mansion before coming back!"

"Although you all said you were fine before... I always felt that Roland's condition was strange."

"When we were walking in town today, he kept talking about dreams and stuff..."

"Although he says he's fine and doesn't care... I can tell that he actually cares a lot about this, but he's too tired to deal with it."

"Then he got caught up in a dilemma. I think he was thinking of taking a break and then starting the investigation."

"So, I'm going to ask you, my learned teacher, if you have any new insights."

"After all, you immediately made a new discovery, didn't you? Otherwise, you wouldn't have been in such a hurry to start reading right here."

Frum sighed, "Sigh... I knew long ago that you didn't come here because you cared about me being alone."

“But hearing you call me ‘Roland,’ ‘Roland,’ and only mentioning me in the last sentence when you needed something from me, still makes me a little sad.”

"Fine... Well, what can I do? I'm your teacher..."

As she spoke, Flam handed her notebook to Kalia: "These are some of my findings so far."

"Because of the topic we were discussing this afternoon, I suddenly remembered that when I left Avalon, I actually took a few books with me."

"I just haven't looked at it, and I forgot to return it when I went back to Avalon a few times before. It's just been sitting in my storage space."

"But today's discussion about the dead and the living reminded me of a copy I borrowed."

"The document records several documented and verified cases of people coming back to life."

"I won't go into the methods used by the Demon King, such as transferring souls and recreating bodies."

"As for the others, I have summarized the following patterns."

"First, one condition that must be met for someone to be brought back to life is that their soul is returned by the Grim Reaper."

"Whether it was voluntary or forced."

"The gates of the underworld must be opened, and souls must return to the mortal world from there, for there to be any possibility of resurrection."

"Secondly, there is what is called fate."

"I went to the Riscan Grand Library this afternoon and borrowed a few books on the inference of fate."

"By combining these factors, I've come to a hypothesis."

"Everyone has their own predetermined death date in their destiny."

"That is, a predetermined death."

"But before fate arrives, death will refuse your death."

"Of course, this is just a conjecture. After all, in that book, I only have one example and one poem as evidence for this conjecture, which is not enough to make a conclusion."

"So... Roland's situation can be temporarily summarized into these two situations."

"First, his soul was brought back from the other side of the gates of the underworld by some being."

"But that doesn't explain why he would turn back into a baby."

"Second, his fate has not yet arrived, but the problem remains the same: it cannot explain why he turned back into an infant, nor can it explain why his long-dead mother appeared holding him."

After speaking, Flam spread her hands: "In short, this is all I know for now." "But at least I have a direction for my research, namely the God of Death and the End—anyway, the matter of resurrection is definitely related to Him."

"Perhaps we should look for some records and theological studies about death next."

"Hopefully we can find it, after all, this person doesn't have any followers."

Kalia was completely confused. After Flam finished speaking, Kalia summarized it in her mind.

"Anyway... Roland is fine right now?"

"Pretty much." Flam nodded. "Look at him, he's good in every way, except he overthinks. My suggestion is to help him break free from this state of thinking."

"If fate truly exists, then there's no need for him to deliberately pursue or search for anything."

"His fate will eventually find him."

"As for you... my advice is not to leave him alone. You're not the only one in this house who's interested in that kid."

Kalia nodded. "Okay, I understand... So what was that thing you said we had to do before? Is it interesting? Can I participate?"

Frum chuckled, "Of course, I'm going to settle accounts with that damned Blood Demon!"

"Lia, do you want to go?"

"Yes, yes! Roland just said he wanted to ask if you had any travel recommendations, he's planning a trip."

Kalia then laughed: "If the place you're going to has beautiful scenery, it wouldn't hurt for us to go with you."

"The scenery..."

Frum lowered her head and fell into deep thought.

The scenery of Isfar...

It should be considered scenic, I suppose, Isfar in winter.

At least the snow was heavy.

The weather was just as bad as it was back in Blackthorn Forest when it was affected by the demon altar formation.

I guess this is a landscape I've never seen before?
And it's by the sea, such a cold place actually has an ice-free port... it should be considered a tourist attraction, right?
There are also many ancient castles.

Yes, this is a perfect tourist city!
"The scenery is quite nice, Leah! Why don't you go ask Roland if he wants to go?"

"Great! We have bodyguards! I'll go tell Roland right now!"

Kalia ran off excitedly.

Only Flam remained, feeling that something was amiss.

She realized that once the child grew up, he was truly out of control.

"She was so clingy to me when she was little...sigh..."

Frum sighed, somewhat dejectedly put on the earmuffs, and continued studying the documents at hand.

……

In a room in the governor's mansion, Nash, who was starving, rolled over in front of the fireplace and looked at Cellina, who was lying on her side on the sofa: "Nina... why did you drag me into this if you didn't want to attend the banquet?"

"I haven't eaten yet! You just dragged me back like that, and now you won't let me leave!"

"Isn't this a bit too much?"

Cherlinina, who was grooming her tail, kept her head down and remained silent, completely ignoring Nash's wailing.

Upon seeing this, Nash quickly and quietly ran towards the door.

Just get to that place! Just get to that place!
Cats react nine times faster than humans! They can simply jump up, turn the doorknob, and sneak out for dinner!

"Paji!"

"what!"

Cellina, who appeared at the door without warning, ruthlessly interrupted Nash's escape plan.

Nash, clutching his forehead, looked at Cherlinina with a wronged expression and said, "So why won't you let me out?! Just tell me! At least let me die knowing why, okay?"

Nash, somewhat resigned, transformed back into his catgirl form.

This position makes it difficult for her to escape, but it's still quite comfortable for her to lie on the sofa like this.

It's amazing.

Nash only wore the clothes once.

But after that, no matter what she transformed into, her clothes would disappear when she turned into a cat, and reappear when she turned back into a human...

Cellina pinched the catgirl's soft ears and said, "Who told you to know too much? I can't let you go out and talk nonsense with Iluvia and Kalia."

"!!!"

"Meow! This isn't fair!"

"You're the one who did this! Why am I being dragged into this?!"

"Be bold and responsible! You've already slept with Roland, what's there to be afraid of! Neither of them has succeeded yet! You can totally go all out and assert your dominance, can't you!"

"The most crucial thing... what does this have to do with not letting me go to eat?!"

"They weren't even at the banquet! They ran away faster than we did!"

"Waaaaah, I want to eat~~~~~"
