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

Chapter 349 So Embarrassing It's Like Your Toes Are Gripping the Villa
"Huh? Isn't Roland here?"

In the conference room on the third floor of Building 2, Cherinina, who had bumped into Iluvia on the way and decided to come to the conference room together, looked at Kalia, who was lying on the table reading a storybook and eating snacks, and asked...

"Hmm, it seems he went to your office to look for you, you bastard. That's strange, didn't you run into him?"

As she spoke, Kalia looked up at Iluvia, who was standing silently beside Cherlinina.

Iluvia was also bewildered: "I wasn't in the office just now... It was Ms. Remilia who relayed the message, saying that Roland wanted me, Nina, and Ms. Flam to come over."

Cellina nodded in agreement.

Actually, she had originally wanted to find an opportunity to meet Roland, but she didn't expect to run into Iluvia on the way, and that's when she learned about this news.

It can be regarded as a mistake.

To be honest, Cherlinina felt a little relieved at that moment.

At least that guy didn't forget him.

I guess I've been reading too many romance novels. From now on, I can't always go along with Nash's wishes; I'll just read her stories instead...

Whether it's humans, demons, or dragons, hearing too many similar stories can distort one's thinking.

Iluvia pouted and sat down in a chair, looking a little unhappy. Then she propped her head up with her hand and complained, "What's wrong with him? He told us to come and wait, but he didn't show up himself."

"By the way, Leah, I heard that you and Roland brought back a child... no, wait, a white-haired girl? What's her background?"

"Don't blame me for being harsh, but at this critical juncture, it's best to be careful about the identity of strangers."

"Even if you and Roland are both willing to vouch for her, it would be better to at least keep this dangerous girl who can turn into a giant bone dragon under your and Roland's supervision."

"What about her?"

Kalia waved her hand dismissively, not even bothering to look away from the text of the storybook.

"It's okay, Sia is a good girl, very well-behaved, and she just went out to use the restroom."

"Although her situation is somewhat special, I don't think she needs me to accompany her even to the restroom around the corner of the corridor, right?"

"and……"

Seeing Kalia suddenly stop talking, Iluvia became more concerned: "Why aren't you saying anything? And what?"

Kalia sighed, "Fine, I'll have to explain sooner or later anyway. Since you're all here, I'll just say it first."

“This child was dug out by Roland and me from the ruins of a research institute deep in the forest outside Isfar.”

"then……"

Kalia began to vividly and embellish her recent experience, telling the tragic story of a cyborg girl. With the support of Kalia's extensive reading of novels, the story was told in a way that brought tears to the eyes.

Although it included a lot of non-existent "details," it was a result that Kalia rationalized based on the research institute experimental documents she had seen when she was looking up names for Polycia.

The story was told so well that it brought the outwardly cold but inwardly warm-hearted Iluvia to tears.

Because of Nash, Cherlinina, who had a lot of reading experience, wasn't particularly interested in Kalia's story. She only extracted the key information from the long, embellished passages.

Why wasn't she moved to tears? Perhaps it's because she heard long passages from a recently popular storybook.

Well... it's just that the characters' names were changed to Roland, Kalia, and that girl named Polycia.

Iluvia, wiping away her tears, asked in a choked voice, "So...so pitiful...but does this child need so long to go to the toilet?"

“Of course not.” Polycia, whose expression was complicated and who seemed to have been standing at the door listening to the storytelling for a long time, was holding onto the door frame with an embarrassed look on her face.

The hand holding the door frame unconsciously exerted force, and pried a piece of the door frame off.

The black round-toed leather shoes he had changed into after arriving in Isfar were now bent by his crooked toes.

So embarrassing, I want to die...

Why did Miss Kalia tell the story this way, embellishing it to this extent?
Even if I absolutely have to tell this kind of story... why do I have to hear it myself?!
Is this the price I have to pay for being reborn?

The scene became lively after the main character of the story appeared.

With a sympathetic expression, Iluvia was the first to approach, offering words of comfort and assuring everyone in the name of the Imperial Princess that Polycia would be able to live a normal life instead of being treated as a manufactured weapon.

Cellina wasn't as enthusiastic as Iluvia; she simply smiled at Polycia and casually welcomed her to learn swordsmanship from her.

Faced with the two people who were showing goodwill, Polycia was somewhat at a loss and responded to them in a flustered manner.

The person spreading the story looked out the window and began to pretend to whistle, but unfortunately she didn't know how and could only make strange sounds like "whoosh whoosh whoosh".

In other words, the person involved didn't intend to settle scores with Kalia, since she was the first person he saw after waking up, and there was a bit of a chick complex involved.

At this moment, Polycia, who was still dealing with Cellina and Iluvia's somewhat enthusiastic goodwill, suddenly paused. Her pair of clear, bright pinkish-purple eyes widened slightly, showing a mixture of shock and confusion.

"Eh? Now?"

"……OK, all right."

With Iluvia and Cellina looking on in bewilderment, Polycia began to mutter to herself.

Kalia wasn't surprised at all, and instead explained for her: "Alright, alright, Sia is probably talking to Roland."

"Well... I can't explain this, but the child was able to wake up smoothly entirely because of Roland."

"Therefore, there is a special connection between this child and Roland, enabling them to communicate directly on a spiritual level."

"Of course, we only just realized this. Roland and I only realized it when we were flying around in the sky with that blood demon prince named Dracula."

"But to be honest, Roland and I only dug her out of the ground at noon, so only a few hours have passed since then."

Iluvia: "!!!"

"What! You're on the same wavelength as Roland?! I don't even get that kind of treatment!?"

Kalia waved her hand: "Why are you so agitated? I didn't do anything wrong either. Calm down... But why is Roland looking for her at this time?"

Upon hearing Kalia's words, Polycia also said, "Lord Roland asked me..."

Just as she was about to speak, Polycia remembered Roland's earlier words and abruptly took back the second half of her sentence.

"nothing."

Polycia smiled, as if she hadn't said anything at all.

This unnatural shift and concealment drew the attention of the other three people present.

Just as the three of them were exchanging glances and walking together to Polycia, intending to extract some information from this naive and inexperienced girl, Flam, who had also received Remilia's message and rushed over to join them, arrived at the scene.

Looking at the four people huddled together by the door, Flam observed them for a moment and then asked, quite puzzled, "What are you all doing huddled together like this?"

Why don't you go sit down?

"Or did the four of you plan to come together and then discuss in advance how to secretly ostracize me?"

Upon hearing Flam's words, Kalia immediately retorted, "Why would you think that? Are you feeling homesick since Avalon?"

"You've only been away for half a day and you're already homesick? Are you a child?"

Frum rolled her eyes at Kalia, then sat down in the chair, bent her knees, put her legs on the chair, and leaned forward to hug her legs.

It looked as if he had curled himself up and placed himself on a chair.

Weak, helpless and pitiful.

"Of course I'm a child..."

"!!!"

Kalia seemed to have suffered a major blow, and her body uncontrollably staggered back two steps.

What happened?! Is this still that old woman?!
Roland said nothing major happened in Avalon, so why did Flam turn out like this after she returned?!
Iluvia also looked worried.

In a sense, Flam was her mentor, and her status in the Empire goes without saying.

Although he rarely appeared at the Academy of Magic, the Empire's current magical industry has developed to such an extent, with all kinds of spells emerging one after another, thanks in large part to the efforts of this legendary mage.

Although Iluvia's relationship with Flam was not as close as Kalia's, she still considered Flam an important elder.

Seeing him so devastated and with his Dao heart shattered, it's hard not to worry, isn't it?
Only Celinina didn't react much.

Although she was worried, she, with her experience and age far exceeding that of the two women, still noticed something... This guy was just sulking and getting stuck on something.

Don't worry about it too much. This guy can regulate his emotions on his own.

Just as Iluvia and Kalia's attention was drawn away by the sudden appearance of Flam, Polycia grabbed Cellina's hand and led her out of the room.

“Miss Cellina, Lord Roland just asked me to convey something to you.”

Cellina pointed at herself: "Huh? Me? Just me? Don't we need to tell Kalia and Iluvia?"

“No need.” Polycia shook her head, and peeked into the room to check the situation. After confirming that Kalia and Iluvia were still asking Flam questions, she turned to Cherinina and said, “Not only is it not necessary, but Lord Roland specifically instructed that they should not be told.”
