Just as she was about to stand up, she heard the girl next to her speak:

"Are you in trouble?"

Xingmo turned her head calmly. The girl who had been reading had put down the book and was now holding the straw of sweet iced tea in her mouth, staring at Xingmo with her jewel-like eyes.

The moment Xing Mo met those eyes, he was stunned.

Those were a pair of blood-red eyes.

......

2) Crazy Ideas (Part 6)

Pure white hair and blood-red eyes.

For a moment, Xingmo overlapped the image of the girl in front of him with Aurora, and even subconsciously thought that Aurora was catching up with him.

But she quickly denied her thoughts. The girl's eyes did not have the same starlight as Aurora's, and the aura she exuded was only elegant and dignified, without the feeling of evil and holiness that Aurora had.

She was wearing a simple black skirt with a white lining, and her pure white hair was adorned with a white flower, making her look like an aristocrat in the White Tower District.

Was I being a little sneaky just now? How did someone notice something was wrong?

Xing Mo reflected on himself and cleared his throat.

"It's no trouble, miss. Thank you for your concern."

The white-haired girl stared at Xingmo calmly for a while, then nodded slightly:

"I have a cafe in the northern part of the city. If you have any troubles, you can come and talk to me."

After she finished speaking, she turned her wrist and found a black card between her fingertips.

I was surprised...it turns out it's just a cafe promotion...some kind of cafe with a theme of "resolving worries"? That seems pretty innovative.

Xingmo hesitated for a moment, then took the card from the girl.

She looked down at the card, on which was written an address in gold foil: No. 69, Fram Street, North City District, Huahai.

Is the name of the cafe "Sea of ​​Flowers"? It sounds quite romantic.

Speaking of which, why would a girl dressed like an aristocrat from Baita District come to Beicheng District to open a cafe?

"Thank you. I'll go when I have time." Xing Mo raised her head. "What's your name?"

Her words were stuck because when she looked up, the girl sitting next to her was gone.

And Xingmo didn't even notice when she left.

"It doesn't seem that simple..."

Xing Mo muttered to herself, and after thinking it over again and again, she decided to leave the gold-stamped card in her pocket.

She finished her mince pie in a few bites, then picked up the sweet iced tea she had bought for Aurora and walked towards St. Auros Cathedral.

......

Under the dome of St. Auros Cathedral, Aurora and Sister Lilitz sat together, the former curled up in the chair like a drowned kitten.

Just now, Aurora had fabricated a tragic story for the Saint Sister: her parents were executed as royalists during the French Revolution, her brother died in the war between French and the Machiavellian Empire, and she was left with only one sister to take her with her through the chaotic world.

According to the knowledge Aurora absorbed from Xingmo's mind, the local war between the Faru and Machiavelli had been going on for decades. The Imperials had been constantly invading the Faru lands, and their king was incompetent on the throne and was eventually sent to the guillotine by his own people.

Countless people died during this period, so it doesn't matter what Aurora makes up, as long as it's not too exaggerated.

"... Dad and Mom kept praying to the goddess before they died. They were both devout believers of the goddess, but those people said the goddess was a false god..."

"...Even until their heads fell to the ground, the goddess showed no mercy to my parents. They died at the hands of the blasphemer..."

Aurora spoke pitifully, occasionally stealing glances at the Holy Sister with a cautious look.

Lilitz said nothing. She silently held Aurora's small hand, and the light from the stained window reflected in her golden eyes.

After Aurora finished explaining her life story, the Saint Sister spoke softly:

"You have confusion, child, and you are worried that you will be condemned if you speak up, but you can talk to me."

"Even if that would be blasphemous?" Aurora whispered.

"The goddess is merciful, just tell me, child." Lilitz smiled lovingly.

Aurora paused, then spoke softly:

"What if...what if the goddess doesn't exist? What if the gods Mom and Dad have believed in for so many years are actually fake? Because...if the goddess exists, why did she allow such evil to happen in our hometown? Why didn't she save Mom and Dad?"

Aurora immediately shrank back into her chair after she finished speaking, avoiding the nun's gaze.

The Saint Sister listened calmly to Aurora's words, pondered for a moment, and then spoke softly:

"The goddess has her plan. It's a difficult and painful road, but it's also the only way we can achieve 'Great Harmony'. Before then, all beings suffer, but all beings will eventually be redeemed. All we have to do is forge ahead and walk the path under the goddess's watchful eye."

"You mean, even if the goddess doesn't exist, we should still strive to move forward?" Aurora said softly.

"The goddess is always watching over us. Besides that..." Lilitz paused, "Yes, striving to walk the path ahead is part of the goddess' plan."

After saying that, the Saint Sister gave Aurora a warm smile. Aurora was stunned for a moment and responded with the same warm smile.

"You are a good person, Sister Saint..."

Aurora's voice was small.

"We will enjoy...oh no...remember your faith. This faith will provide me with more motivation to move forward."

At this time, Xingmo came in with a cup of sweet iced tea and gently patted Aurora's shoulder:

"Have you finished talking?"

"I'm fine now. I've gained a lot of insights." Aurora stood up and bowed slightly to the Saint Sister. "Goodbye, Saint Sister."

"Goodbye, children. May the eyes of the goddess always be upon you."

Xing Mo felt a pang of tingling inside when she heard this, but she still nodded politely, then took Aurora's hand and walked out of the church.

As soon as they left the church, Aurora grabbed the iced tea from Xingmo and started drinking it.

"I'm thirsty, give me something to drink."

After just two sips, she stuck out her tongue:

"Wow, it's so sweet! How can there be such an anti-Shinto drink?"

"You ordered it yourself. I queued up to buy it for you," Xingmo said. "Treasure it."

Aurora took a few more puffs, then a final deep breath and exhaled:

"Is it really just to queue up and buy drinks for us?" Aurora looked up at the sky full of white doves. "Isn't there...anything like writing a letter to someone?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Xingmo felt an itch at the base of her thighs. She lowered her head and was surprised to find that Aurora's vines had taken advantage of the situation and wrapped around her thighs.

"When you passed by the square, you played the strings for the white doves. Even in my sleep, I could hear them." Aurora looked at Xingmo and smiled brightly. "Are you thinking of breaking the contract? Aren't you afraid of a war between gods? Or are you plotting something bad?"

The vines tightened slightly and gradually moved upwards, causing Xing Mo's body to tremble slightly:

"Wait... wait a minute...!" Xing Mo forced herself to steady her trembling breath, "I wrote the letter... I wrote the letter because..."

2) Crazy Ideas (Part 7)

"Because of what?" Aurora smiled, the light in her bloodshot eyes growing brighter.

This was a large square, and two girls were standing straight at the door, one was trembling slightly, and the other had a bright smile on her face.

If someone finds out something's wrong... No! Now's not the time to worry about that. I'm worried about whether she'll suddenly lose her temper and do something out of the ordinary...

Xing Mo's mind raced, and after a moment of thought, she decided to use the reason she had prepared at the beginning:

"I...I'm writing a letter to the Magic Academy! Applying for the entrance exam the day after tomorrow!"

The white dove must have flown towards the magic academy. Even if Aurora had a way to track its whereabouts, she would come to the same conclusion as Xingmo's.

"I just remembered that the entrance exams start the day after tomorrow. If you want to apply, you have to send a messenger now."

"Don't forget, if you want to steal the goddess's secrets, you must start from the Magic Academy. That academy was built by the goddess' will, and there are even hundreds of string arrays underground."

After hearing Xingmo's words, Aurora frowned and immediately tightened the vines:

"Really? Isn't it for someone special?"

"How could that be? Is there anyone in the academy who can deal with you?" Xing Mo said in a low voice.

"No~" Aurora blinked innocently, "But I always feel that there is a strange smell on you...a smell that I don't like very much...Are you lying?"

Smell? Xingmo sniffed her arm, but apart from a faint body fragrance, she didn't smell anything.

Seeing Xingmo's actions, Aurora suddenly smiled evilly:

"Then~ just assume that I misunderstood you. To prove your loyalty, call me Master again~"

You are doing this just for your desire to dominate... Xingmo tried her best to remain calm on the surface, after all, the vines under her skirt were becoming more and more unruly.

She took a deep breath and whispered:

"Master... Master..."

As soon as the words fell, an ethereal voice came from the side:

"You call her Master?"

Xingmo turned her head suddenly and found that Saint Sister Liliz had been standing beside her, looking at her in surprise.

She felt the vine quickly withdraw, and Aurora smiled brightly at her, as if wanting to see how she would react.

Xingmo: (?Д?≡?д?)!?

"You call her Master?" The Saint Sister seemed unsure and asked again.

“Ah…ah…this…this…”

Xing Mo turned her face slightly to the side, her calm expression quickly burning with anger, her heart beating non-stop.

No... Calm down... Calm down! Xingmo! You're the Bell Guardian! You're the guardian of the Castle! Even if you're misunderstood as playing some weird game, don't panic!

Xing Mo took a deep breath, mustered up her courage, and turned to the Saint Sister:

"I... I'm playing a master-servant role-playing game with my sister... Haha... She plays the role of the young lady... I play the role of the maid... child... child..."

After saying that, she immediately turned to look at Aurora and winked at her vigorously.

Aurora still had a bright smile on her face, as if she hadn't noticed anything.

Why don't you agree with me? What if Brainstorm notices something's wrong? That would expose you! Xingmo tried hard to convey this message.

But Aurora acted as if she didn't care about it, as if to say, "What does it have to do with me?"

Just when Xingmo felt that she was about to die socially, Lilizi beside her nodded lovingly:

"So that's how it is, poor children. You must be nostalgic for your past lives..."

Her expression remained calm, but tears welled up in the corners of her eyes.

What on earth did you come up with? Xing Mo shouted in her heart.

"It is necessary to miss the past, but walking the right path forward is what we really need to do." Li Liz wiped her eyes and said earnestly.

"Thank you...thank you for your teachings," Xing Mo quickly replied, then changed the subject, "Sister Saint, why did you come to the door?"

"Ah... I just thought of something and wanted to let you know," the Saint Sister's eyes were filled with an ethereal expression. "If you want to come to the church to help, the weekend after dinner would be a good time. Our bishop has been away from the church for a long time, and without him, we might not have enough people to clean up the church after the Mass."

Didn't they say I didn't have enough academic qualifications? Why was I accepted again? Xing Mo muttered to herself, then nodded quickly:

"I understand. I'll come and help."

We have to see if these nuns will change. We don’t know what changes will happen to the church after this little evil god replaces "Saint Auros". As the guardian of the academy, Xingmo believes that this is his duty.

At the same time...it's also good to help the goddess sweep the church, which is also a way of atonement.

Seeing Xingmo's agreement, the Saint Sister smiled and nodded:

"Then may the goddess always watch over you."

"May the goddess always watch over you." Xing Mo bowed slightly.

......

After buying some daily necessities, Xingmo took Aurora back to the apartment and made a simple lunch.
