The magic cards I made are absolutely flawless!

Then the two started fighting.

"Please—wait a minute!"

Dekan suddenly discovered a key point in the story Mir was telling.

He stared intently at Mier, his expression unreadable, neither joy nor anger nor sorrow.

"You just said that Clay was sailing the boat?!"

"Yes."

Mier nodded.

"I'm so lucky today!"

Just as I finished answering, accompanied by a cheerful sound, a Clay whizzed past.

He rushed from the driver's seat to meet up with his partner!

The three bishops reunited after three months, and their biggest worry was resolved. He believed Dekan must be very happy.

"Don't worry, I've already returned the magic airship to the pilot."

Clay added another sentence.

Even though he was still wearing a driver's uniform, he looked exactly like a criminal with more than ten years of experience in the industry.

"Did you sail like that by accident, or on purpose?"

Dekan asked, his voice trembling.

There was none of the emotion and joy I felt when I met my friend again not long ago.

Why can the emotions evoked by reuniting with close friends be so different?

"I think you'll only know you're on a magic airship if you tilt it slightly."

Clay answered smugly.

He also noticed the masks on Dekan and Cornelia's waists.

Normal people, even acquaintances, would not recognize Dekan and Cornelia unless they were looking closely at them.

However, Clay's "Mind's Eye" can ignore the "cognitive interference" of Dekan and Cornelia's masks.

When Clay realized that Mier was struggling and had no way to hold his own, he also discovered that Dekan was doing something funny on the top floor.

So he simply controlled the magic airship to rock it left and right, and swayed Dekan's piano over.

In the end, it turned out to be an outcome that no one had expected.

"..."

Dekan sat on the piano bench for a long time without saying a word; he seemed to have something to say but couldn't express it.

In fact, if you damage public property, you can just pay compensation.

After all, they were apprehending the most heinous criminals.

But he...

There was a bet...

It was a bet that couldn't be lost... a humiliating defeat that would be the greatest disgrace of one's life if lost...

However, at this moment...

The cat teacher has climbed onto the piano, and the whole cat stands up like a lucky cat.

It looked down at Dekan from its high vantage point.

Its lips curled into a smug, cat-like smile.

"Dekan Meow, what do you mean?"

It believes.

Even if Dekan is stubborn, he shouldn't be able to say anything to refute this situation.

Dekan seemed to have lost his vocal cords; he opened his mouth several times but couldn't utter a single word.

Cornelia seemed to be suppressing a laugh.

Regardless, it was definitely an unforgettable date for her.

"it's me……"

at last.

"I'm the one who made Adair dizzy."

With tears in his eyes, Dekan admitted that he had caused the accident with the piano.

Author's Note:

P.S.: This chapter might be a little freer... perhaps a brand new attempt after the "Shura Field" arc? However, there won't be any more chapters like this until the end. It's connected to the main storyline, but its nature is more like a side story.

In addition, the first piece Dekan played was called "Kairou" (Return by the Wind), the second piece was the classic "Magic Waltz" from "The Legend of 1900," and the third piece was "See You Again" from "Furious 7."

PS2: If, and I mean if, everyone has the monthly tickets and free razor blades that the system gave out at the beginning of the month that you could use to feed Xi Gouzi, I would be very grateful... Monthly tickets are no longer useful for this book, but if you have a lot, it might get some exposure on the charts, and razor blades can be turned into a little money...

389 Dekan's only signature card

Thin, almost transparent leaves were pasted on the windows, allowing the midday sunlight to filter softly and warmly into the room.

The whole room was filled with a refreshing woody fragrance.

This is the office of the King, Dekan, like a spacious corridor perfectly sculpted by a craftsman.

There was a light knock, and then the door was pushed open.

"Boss, tea or coffee?"

Clay, dressed in a bartender's uniform and carrying a tray, walked into Dekan's office.

Dekan spends his days here, and usually asks Clay to choose his lunch.

So at this time every day, Clay would remind him to finish his morning work and bring him lunch.

"It will be all right."

Dekan closed the ancient book in his hand and placed it on top of a stack of books.

Then his expression relaxed slightly as he leaned back in his chair.

His desk is now piled high with books and magical artifacts.

Although, given Dekan's current strength, there is no longer any need to spend a lot of time researching curse magic.

However, in order to break the final curse left behind by the Silent Bishop at the time of his death, Dekan is still conducting targeted research.

The good news is that with Icardinos's help, the direction for breaking the curse is clear.

"Then let's make tea."

Clay then turned and walked to the table on one side of the office where teacups were placed, opened the drawer and took out two small packets of tea, starting to prepare them for Dekan and for himself.

Dekan watched aimlessly as Clay brewed tea, and couldn't help but marvel at the peaceful and serene nature of this everyday life.

Just seeing him gives me an indescribable sense of security.

Even though two weeks have passed since that outrageous "piano murder in mid-air" incident, Dekan still dreams from time to time that in a world without Clay, a Clay suddenly appears and wakes him up in fright.

That night, due to the urgent need to escort a dangerous wanted criminal back to the capital, the magic airship was requisitioned, so the route was changed, and it returned to the capital in no time.

Adair also received the treatment of the wealthy and powerful Irenos on the same day.

Dekan and Mier have not yet decided on Adair's punishment, so for the time being, he has been placed in the energy station for community service.

Later, Cat Teacher's mockery was never far off.

It hasn't yet made Dekan cash in on his bet.

But this time, by sheer luck, it won against Dekan, making it incredibly happy every day.

"Ugh."

Thinking of this, Dekan couldn't help but sigh.

Anyway, we've already lost.

I originally planned to buy the piano back after I finished dealing with the matters related to Adair.

Unexpectedly, Princess Alice had already bought the piano and placed it in the palace.

What Dekan didn't expect was...

This violin now appears to have become a national treasure of the Kingdom of Norton!

It also has a new name:

Famous zither - Sword Saint Cut.

When Dekan saw what Alice was doing, his eyes twitched.

It's a feeling that if you make one wrong step, you'll make a series of wrong steps!

Later, Decan could only force a smile and congratulate Alice on acquiring a nice piano for the Norton royal family.

The culprit behind all of this.

In the end, it's all the same man in the office making tea!

Dekan even felt fortunate that he was the male protagonist in the many turbulent stories of the past few years, rather than the female protagonist.

Otherwise, the outcome might be even more humiliating each time.

Dekan pinched the bridge of his nose.

To explain why I would consider such an absurd assumption...

And we have to mention the work that Teacher Da Zhan has been up to lately.

After returning to the modern world, Teacher Da Zhan not only resumed the serialization that had been interrupted for more than a year in the various kingdoms, but also started planning a new novel.
