Life has dealt a heavy hand to a weak demigod like me.

After all, He was too mysterious, and from their "transaction", Peroz was completely unable to analyze His real purpose.

But at the same time, while being on guard, Peroz had to admit that being noticed by Him was a good thing.

Just like on Jevers Island.

If it weren't for Charles, they would have no chance of surviving facing the madman Barbossa.

"Hopefully it'll be a good thing."

Peroz murmured, then slowly turned his gaze to a torn diary on the desk.

"The Legend of Pallasti and the Source of Life..."

"Are you also afraid of death..."

In the commercial street, Charles was shopping in a clothing store with Melnadette, Lily and Lorna.

Faced with Mernadette's lack of cooperation, Charles simply acted arbitrarily and "forced" her to try on one piece of clothing after another.

Although as a man he hates shopping, Charles feels addicted to it when he sees Melnadette's cute appearance.

"It's enough to wear..." Mernadette said with her head down for the umpteenth time.

But it was obvious that her opinion had no effect at this time.

"How can you wear girls' clothes!" Charles said seriously.

"But...this dress..." Mernadette pointed at the dress in Charles' hand and almost burst into tears.

Charles paused for a moment, then calmly put some of the hotter and bolder clothes in his hands back in their original places.

"Sif asked me to look at this," Ciel explained seriously, "You know, she couldn't leave school due to some matters, so I had to do things like buying clothes for her."

Sif:?

Why don't I remember asking you for something like this?

Mernade breathed a sigh of relief. Although the clothes were beautiful, they were not the type she liked.

I always feel that it's a bit too... bold.

Mernadette couldn't imagine what it would be like to go out wearing such clothes.

"Well, hurry up and buy clothes for Sister Sif, then we'll go back." She said, shrinking her neck.

When they were shopping earlier, Charles's excitement had frightened her a little.

Moreover, she was not used to changing clothes one by one in the fitting room, but seeing the excitement in Charles' eyes every time he changed into new clothes, Mernadette felt embarrassed to refuse.

"There's no rush for her clothes, just buy some. What's important is you guys." Looking at Mernadette who was half-forced to wear a pure white princess dress, Charles felt that the desire to change clothes in his heart had not completely disappeared.

Classical palace style, Lolita style, pure girl style...

As a goddess, how can you only have one style of dressing? You should have clothes of different styles in your wardrobe.

It’s a pity that Mernadette hasn’t grown up yet, and some styles of clothes are not suitable for her.

Otherwise, Charles felt that he could take her shopping again tomorrow for the same reason.

"I, I think Sister Sif's matter is more important."

"She hasn't changed her clothes for a long time." Mernadette said weakly.

"She has a lot of clothes, but most of them are of the same style, so you can't tell." They are all work clothes provided by the college, of course they are of the same style.

As for the clothes that Teresa had bought together after she arrived, they were basically put away by Sif - she planned to wear them on some important holidays or events that she could attend.

But his words did not make Melnadette back down. She looked at Charles with a firm gaze.

"Okay, okay, I'll listen to you and buy her clothes first." Charles said with some regret after noticing Mernadette's determination.

Hearing his words, Mernade breathed a sigh of relief.

Then he smiled a little embarrassedly.

For most girls, having beautiful clothes to wear is a good thing.

But Mernadette was not quite used to it.

She always felt that the way Charles looked at her sometimes made her feel very strange, and this strange gaze made her very uncomfortable.

In addition, she had taken a sneak peek when she came here, and found that the clothing categories in the stores after this one were mostly of a style that would make her blush.

If she really put on that kind of clothes, she felt that she really didn't have the courage to walk out of the fitting room.

"Brother...actually I don't mind..." Melnade said in a low voice with a red face as she looked at Charles who was not paying much attention to helping Sif choose clothes.

"What?" Charles looked at Mernadette strangely while casually handing a pleated skirt that was not longer than the knees to the clerk beside him.

"It's...it's...about going there..." Her face turned even redder.

Charles still didn't quite understand.

"Sister Theresa told me before..."

"It's very normal for boys to go there before they get married..."

"So... brother, you don't have to suppress your own... nature... abilities just to maintain an image in front of me..."

It was obvious that Charles's excitement today and Theresa's previous words made Melnadée misunderstand something.

She felt that Charles's current behavior was probably due to what Sister Theresa had said to her before—in order to establish the image of a good brother, he suppressed his own instincts, which led him to do such a strange thing...

-

Chapter 90: You bastard! I want to die with you!

Dangerous!

This was Charles's first reaction.

Charles felt like the word danger was written all over his forehead.

I didn't expect that after trying so hard to hide it for so long, it would still be exposed!

(╯‵ ′)╯︵┻━┻

Teresa, I didn't expect you to be such a chatterbox!

As the goddess's guardian—as he considered himself—Charles made many arrangements around Mernadette. His gaze also lingered around Mernadette most of the time.

But this kind of gaze was just a gaze on her life characteristics and emotional ups and downs.

Charles would not pay attention to her contact and chatting with other people.

After all, Charles said that he could not and did not dare to pry into the privacy of a little girl, especially the privacy of his own goddess.

But he didn't expect that he would be backstabbed by Teresa.

Ruined.

I am probably the first person that the goddess has called to discuss this kind of topic.

If other people knew about this, I would probably be nailed to the pillar of shame.

Thinking that several years later, a new believer would read a story about himself being taught by the goddess in a holy book, Charles felt ashamed.

But after feeling embarrassed and angry, Charles' thoughts strayed to another place.

After all, although Melnadette’s words just now made Charles feel that the word “danger” was written all over his body.

But the words...seemed to be a kind of affirmation of Mernade herself.

cough cough...

Putting aside some of the thoughts in my mind, I wondered whether her words meant that she supported some of the things I was doing.

Is this the legendary imperial decree to comfort the prostitute?

Is that a bit too exciting?

Charles's expression changed constantly, causing Lily and Lorna to hide behind Mernadette. In addition to being afraid, they also looked at Charles with great curiosity.

"What...place is that..." Lorna pulled the corner of Mernad's clothes and asked cautiously.

"That's it..." Mernadette's face turned even redder.

She forced herself to suppress her inner shame and mentioned this matter to Charles. She felt so embarrassed that she almost died. She couldn't bring herself to talk about this kind of thing with her sister no matter what.

"It's a place only adults can know." Charles reached out and tugged at Lorna and Lily's faces. "If you want to know where it is, grow up quickly."

After teasing them, Charles looked at Mernadette with a serious expression.

"Um...don't listen to Teresa's nonsense."

"I won't go to that kind of place."

"You also know what Teresa is thinking. She must be greedy for my body and then slander me!"

Ciel explained seriously.

But Mernadette's eyes clearly revealed her position.

"Everything I said is true!" Charles was a little anxious.

Mernadette nodded weakly, "I see...what my brother said is true."

Why does this statement sound so perfunctory?

When Charles was thinking about how to make the trip to the City of Eternal Night sound more "normal" or "reasonable", a familiar figure appeared before him.

"Brother Rocks~Long time no see." Eric waved his hands excitedly and trotted to Charles' side.

The butler behind him hesitated after seeing Charles and did not follow him, but just watched them from a distance.

"It's Eric... Long time no see..." A forced smile appeared at the corner of Charles' mouth.

Eric is Theresa's younger brother.

The first time I went to the City of Eternal Night, I happened to run into them, who had brought Charles there. So, at Theresa's request, Charles took him on a nice tour of the City of Eternal Night...

Eric looked very excited at this time, but it gave Charles an ominous premonition.

"Yeah, it's been a long time. I haven't seen you in the City of Eternal Night recently." Eric's tone was a little regretful.

"I still want to ask you a lot of things."

Charles's expression gradually became distorted, but Eric obviously didn't notice because he was too excited.

"Brother Rocks, can Catwoman's tail be touched? I've wanted to touch it several times before, but I was afraid they'd get angry so I didn't dare to do it."

"Also... I heard that the back of the winged people's necks are very sensitive. If I touch them, will they slap me with their wings..."

"Brother Rocks, are you free tonight? Can you come with me..."

Shut up and stop talking!

Listening to Eric's shy and expectant words, Charles had the urge to kill him directly.

Have you two siblings discussed this?

Take turns backstabbing me in front of the goddess!

Looking at Mernadette, whose face was so red that she dared not look up, Charles immediately covered her mouth with his hand.

"What City of Eternal Night, what Catwoman and Winged Man? I've never heard of them!" With one arm stuck to his throat and one hand blocking his mouth, Charles spoke in a very eerie and terrifying tone.

Gollum~

Eric swallowed, feeling a strong murderous aura, and then he noticed Melnadette beside Charles.

(⊙o⊙)...

Come to think of it...I did hear my sister and father say during dinner that Brother Rocks had found his sister.

His father also said that Rocks might have extraordinary bloodline.

It is said that after an in-depth investigation, some things about Rocks's parents were discovered that were very different from ordinary people...

But at that time, he was too focused on Catwoman and didn't listen carefully... He had just seen Ciel, and he completely ignored Melnadette, Lily, and Lorna standing beside him...

"Ahem...I may have recognized the wrong person..." Eric stammered.

Could you be more false?

Do you really think that all the "Rocks" are of the same bloodline, and that there are many people who look alike?
