Mystery: My Encounters with the Celestial God

Chapter 66 The Old Captain's Spring

"So, Ms. Daly Simone, you came for Dunn?"

"After all this going around in circles, you don't actually like him, do you!?"

The blond boy pushed up his monocle, and a cold white glint flashed across the lens.

The sour smell reminded Ron of unpleasant things, so he angrily broke the silence.

dog and woman...

The blond boy cursed inwardly. He knew perfectly well the awkward relationship between the two humans in front of him—no, he knew perfectly well the entire Night Watch team. As for what Ron knew, it was all gossip he overheard while playing cards.

Damn it, they're showing off their love right in front of me!

Today I'll show you what the symbolism and status of a pillar truly mean!

Ron's words startled the captain, who had been single for over thirty years, but he quickly recovered and rushed to the blond boy, covering Ron's mouth before he could continue speaking.

Daly Simone was also somewhat stunned, not expecting the young man in front of her to be so brave. Despite it being their first meeting, he dared to say anything.

Just as she was about to make her usual off-color joke to change the subject, she suddenly realized something and swallowed back the words she had prepared.

This woman, who worshipped the goddess of night and had an open personality, realized a serious problem.

Making lewd jokes to an adult man can be considered a matter of gender equality, but making lewd jokes to a boy who looks to be only ten years old is not a matter of gender equality.

She will likely be seen as a female psychopath, thus heading towards the social death that Emperor Rosell spoke of!

And not to mention that Dunn is still here.

The woman with blue eyeshadow and blush pursed her lips, remaining silent, and ultimately said nothing.

The atmosphere in the room shifted instantly, leaving only awkwardness.

Hmph ╯^╰.

Seeing the two humans standing helplessly inside the house, Ron broke free from Dunn's grasp and smugly hummed to himself.

He pushed up his monocle, a slight smile playing on his lips, revealing his current state of mind.

"Oh dear, Dunn is already over thirty, Ms. Daly, you'd better hurry up."

"His weekly wage is a good seventeen pounds, which is high-class middle class. I don't think those young ladies will care about his age!"

"Dunner talks about a woman all the time, never mentioning her again..."

"Ron, shut up!"

Before Ron could finish his provocative words and the teasing remark that made Daly blush, Dunn shouted, interrupting the blond boy in time.

He reached out and tried to grab the little blond-haired thing, to teach him a lesson from the Night Watch captain.

However, the great ruler of time and space had already foreseen this scene. With a flash, he burst out of the door and left.

Dunn Smith hesitated for a moment before not following. His gray eyes pretended to look around, but inadvertently swept over Daly's slightly flushed profile.

"Daly, don't listen to Ron's nonsense. You should already know from Klein that Ron is, uh, a talkative kid."

Dunn Smith scratched his head somewhat awkwardly and gave a dry, perfunctory explanation to the necromancer Daly in front of him.

"Um."

Daisy's answer was concise; she quickly put the scene behind her and turned to look at Dunn with a playful gaze.

"I didn't expect our captain to be such an introverted person. I wonder who that lady you keep thinking about and talking about is?"

"Well……"

Faced with this question, Dunn Smith paused, stammering for a long time without coming up with a coherent answer.

"If you don't want to talk about it, then forget it."

Seeing Dunn's embarrassed look, Daly Simone's eyes flashed with disappointment, and she replied somewhat irritably.

"Dunne, go and call Ron back. I'll prepare a psychic ritual for him here to see if we can restore his memories."

"Okay, I'll go right away."

Hearing that the topic was finally over, Dunn Smith breathed a sigh of relief. Facing Daly, who was now a deacon of the Church of the Night in Backlund parish, he always felt unconsciously inferior.

The door to the lounge creaked open and then creaked shut again.

As Dunn Smith's figure disappeared from her sight, Daly Simone's eyelids involuntarily drooped.

Ron's words just now hit her weak spot perfectly, leaving her completely defenseless.

Only now did she understand why Klein had that look of deep hatred when he talked about Ron.

Even though it was their first meeting, she was able to express her deepest thoughts and concerns...

Daly Simone took a deep breath.

To be honest, this very open-minded necromancer, who always teases men, was somewhat confused and didn't know what to do.

Her confusion included the questions Ron had raised, Dunn Smith's earlier evasion, and her past that made her feel inferior.

She was afraid that the person she liked would dislike her past and wouldn't accept her, which is why she kept avoiding him.

This feeling tormented her immensely, and even the preparations for the psychic rituals she was busy with failed time and time again.

If only I could know what Dunn was thinking...

Such a thought unconsciously flashed through the necromancer's mind.

But this was something she had always tried to achieve, while the equally insecure captain would never reveal these feelings.

As for asking other team members, even though Dai Li likes to flirt with men, she still has some self-respect.

"Perhaps I could ask that little guy, but what if Dunn doesn't like me?"

The woman, wearing blue eyeshadow and blush, was once again plunged into agony.

After a long while... she took a deep breath and made up her mind. Rather than waiting in this endless torment, she would rather find an opportunity to be direct and straightforward.

After all, opportunities to find out Dunn Smith's true thoughts are rare!

Time passed second by second, and as the psychic ritual was completed, the door to the lounge clicked open, and Ron followed Dunn in.

"Ron, that's a psychic ritual. It has a high chance of helping you recover your lost memories."

Dunn Smith pointed to Daly's location, gesturing for Ron to go over there.

After the blond boy sat down, the woman opposite him did not rush to start the ceremony.

Daly smiled and took out a piece of chocolate wrapped in tin foil from inside her large psychic robe.

This was given to her by Rosanne when she first arrived; it was said that using this could quickly get closer to Ron.

"Mr. Ron, let's play a little game before we do the psychic session."

"This game is called 'I Ask, You Answer.' If you answer a question correctly, I will give you a piece of rich chocolate from Versailles Confectionery."

"How about it, wanna play?"

As Dai Li spoke with a smile, she waved the sweet treat in her hand.
