Mr. Pantalone has no crazy plans today.

Because he had absolutely no idea what the so-called plan promised to the Winter Queen actually was.

Nobody ever told him about this!

What should he do now?

Although he wanted to say directly that he had no idea about any such plan.

But a worry arose in Pantalone's mind: if he didn't know about the plan, there was a high chance that he would be exposed.

Therefore, for him now, there is undoubtedly only one path ahead.

After thinking about it for a long time, he finally made a decision.

Looking at the "girl" waiting for an answer, Pantalone, who had returned to reality from a long silence, took a deep breath and said.

"Yes, this is all part of my plan."

Chapter 48 Next Time Forever

"Is that so? I'm satisfied with your answer. After all... that was a plan you personally promised to Her Majesty the Queen."

The girl's response, and the meaningful smile on Columbia's face.

This made Pantalone feel somewhat guilty.

To be honest, he had no idea what the so-called plan was. He only admitted that it was part of the plan so as not to let others see his abnormality.

But as for what this plan actually is, Pantalone only wants to say—

Can anyone tell him what exactly was the plan that 'he' devised before he lost his memory?

He had originally thought that after dealing with the "clown" side, he could just keep slacking off as long as he could maintain the current situation.

But now it seems that not only can he not rest, he has to continue working overtime.

Because he'll probably be working overtime until he figures out exactly what the plan he promised the Queen was.

It wasn't just because he suddenly had a plan he didn't even know about, but also because he learned from Columbia that this plan was something he had prepared for the Queen.

This means that not only will the "girl" who is the third executive officer of the Fools keep an eye on him, but even the Empress will be paying attention to his plans, which means he can't even slack off.

Although he was honestly very flustered, he still had to put on an act.

He put on his usual inscrutable smile and said calmly.

"Naturally, everything is under control; everything is part of the plan."

That's all utter nonsense, of course.

He has no plan whatsoever; he's just stubbornly clinging to the past.

In a sense, this was unavoidable. After all, if he didn't admit it now, he would undoubtedly die even faster once the truth came out.

Compared to the powerful figure at the third seat of the Fools' Sect, his small stature as the ninth seat of the Executors was utterly insignificant.

At least in front of the "young girl," he couldn't reveal any flaws.

After all, if he revealed a flaw and was exposed, he would be finished. So Pantalone put in almost all his effort, imitating the way he used to speak in his memory.

Colombian naturally noticed that Pantalone was deliberately hiding something, but she simply took it as Pantalone not intending to reveal what he was planning.

Ultimately, in her impression of him, this was a man who liked to prepare everything in advance, and even if the plan failed, he was good at making use of countless failures to gradually approach and achieve his goal.

"It seems you've already figured out your next move. But that's not really flattery for you, since you're the kind of person who's always prepared for any eventuality."

But in reality, Pantalone was once again dumbfounded after hearing the evaluation of "girl".

What?

Is he someone who is accustomed to having backup plans?

Could this be implying that he's the kind of person who, not content with just one plan, will prepare multiple backup plans?

no……

How could he not know that he was this kind of person?

Doesn't this mean that besides the assignments he has to give to the Empress, he has also made some preparations and arrangements that even he himself is unaware of?

What the hell!

After this sudden realization, Pantalone discovered that the length of his overtime work and the amount of work he was doing might, in some ways, far exceed his expectations.

As Pantalone pondered this possibility, the thought of potentially extremely long hours of overtime in the future sent chills down his spine.

Pantalone decided to put the idea aside for the time being and pull himself out of the thoughts, a smile of ambiguity on his face that he himself did not understand.

"Heh, you know, that's not flattery to me."

Even though he himself didn't know what he was saying, he just had to keep up the act.

Having worked as a psychological counselor in his past life, he deeply understands a principle: regardless of whether something is truly profound or not, as long as it appears impressive and incomprehensible, it will seem intimidating.

Only when you appear convincing will the other person believe you.

So pretending to be profound may not be very useful, but it will certainly make people believe that he is very confident.
