I traveled through time and space as a villain and became her heart-stealer.

On one side is the girl who was just redeemed by Hohenheim.

The other is the Inspector who is suspicious of Hohenheim.

As long as the truth has not yet come to light, there will definitely be a barrier between two people that cannot be broken by words.

Thinking of this, Catalina sighed lightly and a helpless smile appeared on her face.

Why not change the subject.

"Come to think of it, the pressure at work has increased a lot recently."

As she spoke, she reached out and lifted the silver hair by her ear, and continued to mutter to herself with empty eyes:

"I work overtime 996 hours a day, but the salary is pitifully low. When I was in school, I was told that I would be provided with five insurances and one housing fund, but I found out it was all a lie."

"What's wrong with today's society? Is there no integrity at all?"

As she spoke, Catalina stretched lazily and continued to laugh at herself helplessly.

Beside her, Lianna blinked when she heard that and could only smile bitterly.

"I can't help it. It's very difficult to find a job recently. It's not easy to have a job to make a living."

"But isn't it a bit too much to assign this dirty, tiring and easy-to-be-blamed job to a recent graduate of a magic academy like me?"

At this point, Catalina bit her lips tightly, as if she was thinking of the troubles she had in her daily life, and suddenly started talking:

"Richard, that bastard, has a mouth as hard as a piece of iron. No matter what means we use, we can't pry his mouth open."

"Even using memory stealing is in vain. Do you know why?" Catalina rubbed her temple helplessly.

Lianna blinked and saw a Miss Catalina who looked a little different than usual. She couldn't help but chuckle, her curiosity aroused.

"why?"

"That guy's head has been tampered with!"

As she spoke, Catalina clenched her fist and slammed the table hard.

Table: HP-1.

Then, Catalina continued to say through gritted teeth:

"In Richard's memory, the faces of most people present were covered, as if they were deliberately taking precautions in advance."

"Are you kidding? This isn't a pandemic, why does everyone need to wear a mask?"

"It must be those guys from the Joy Empire. They were prepared long before Richard set out and wanted to sell him out!"

Having said that, Catalina sighed helplessly, then gently supported her forehead with one hand.

After a long silence, she bit her lips lightly and squeezed out a few difficult words from between her teeth:

"It would be great if someone could help me..."

In the huge pub, soft music played melodiously, but it could not cover up the loneliness deep in the bones.

After an unknown amount of time, Lianna, who had remained silent, suddenly spoke, looking at Catalina with a serious expression.

"Excuse me, Miss Catalina, is it really okay for you to say these things to me?"

Katerina blinked, overwhelmed by Lianna's unexpected reaction.

"There should be a lot of information here that cannot be disclosed to ordinary citizens, right?"

As she spoke, Liana paused, then continued with a smile:

"I can think of only one reason why you would say these words to me."

"You want me to tell Mr. Hohenheim if he can get some information from Richard."

"But I won't do that, okay?"

Lianna smiled slightly, revealing a kind and sunny smile, and looked at Katarina gently.

Catalina was stunned for a moment, then she smiled and sighed.

"I never thought that my acting skills would be exposed one day."

“Because it’s too fake.”

Lianna smiled and continued:

"The Lady Catalina I know would not come and complain to someone just because of a little work pressure."

"After all, she is the knight-sama who is most loyal to pure love, isn't she?"

The corners of Lianna's lips rose slightly, and a cunning gleam flashed in her eyes.

Catalina was stunned at first, then she smiled bitterly, then shook her head and straightened her chest.

"It's an honor to be praised like this by Miss Lianna."

The two people looked at each other, and sparks of lightning flashed where their eyes met.

Not far away, Olivia watched this scene and couldn't help feeling excited all over her body.

Two beautiful girls fighting each other is just awesome.

With a light cough, Olivia put on a professional smile and slowly walked forward.

He put the freshly prepared fruit wine on the table, waved his hand, and left gracefully.

"Thank you."

There was a glimmer of melancholy in Catalina's eyes. She gently picked up a glass of fruit wine and drank it in one gulp.

The spicy, sweet and sour taste filled her tongue, making her more awake.

Suddenly, she felt a stuffy heat in her chest, as if she had a lot to say, but no one was willing to listen.

Volume 2: Big Brother? Please don't call me that.

Extra: Nameless Tavern 04

“It’s not that long since I started this job.”

Having said that, Catalina picked up a glass of wine and handed it to Lianna.

Lianna reached out to take the dark orange fruit wine, accepting Katarina's kindness.

"Including the internship period at the college, I only worked for less than half a year at most."

“But even so, I have seen the fate of many criminals.”

As she spoke, Catalina took a sip of fruit wine, a hint of fatigue in her eyes.

"Most people who violate the doctrine of pure love are simple people."

"They yearn for love and believe that pure love is a ray of light in life, so they want to do everything they can to grab it."

"But that is light, how can it be caught by hands? Therefore, these innocent girls are often abandoned and become alone."

“Ultimately, these people go from one extreme to another.”

"From a firm believer in pure love, he gradually degenerated into a practitioner of pleasure."

Having said this, Catalina paused and turned back to look at Lianna.

"From an outsider's perspective, pure love may seem like a sin. If it weren't for their belief in pure love, these people wouldn't have gone astray."

“But I don’t think so.”

"It's not pure love that's wrong, it's them."

“Some people think that as long as they hold on to true feelings, they will have the courage to overcome any kind of difficulty, but this is often an illusion.”

“I believe I can do anything. As long as I work hard, I can solve any problem.”

“This is a fantasy.”

"Do you think Mr. Hohenheim was this kind of person before he lost his memory?"

Lianna looked at Catalina's complicated smile, then turned to look at the wine glass in her hand with her eyebrows lowered.

The fruit wine in the goblet was very viscous, and it glowed faintly under the light, like a galaxy of stars.

After a long silence, she slowly spoke:

“This question is a bit complicated for me.”

"But I can be sure of one thing: your ideas are very different from mine."

Taking a deep breath, Lianna raised the corners of her lips slightly, revealing a peaceful smile, and then shook the goblet in her hand.

Catalina stood there in a daze, looking at Lianna in a trance.

"You might think that Hohenheim was once such a man. He believed in pure love and then betrayed it."

"You think there is nothing wrong with pure love. It is Mr. Hohenheim who is wrong because he places too high a value on pure love."

"But I believe in Mr. Hohenheim, not his pure love."

Having said that, Lianna stared at the sticky fruit wine in the glass in a daze, and then couldn't help but smile faintly.

"When he yearns for pure love, he is right; when he abandons pure love, he must have sufficient reasons."

"I just believe him."

Catalina looked at the sweet smile on Lianna's face, bit her lips lightly, and felt a little touched in her heart.

After a long time, Catalina gave a wry smile.

“Sometimes I envy you.”

Suddenly, Catalina said something in a deep voice, then raised a glass of fruit wine and drank it, her face flushed.

Beside her, Lianna gave her a puzzled look.

“You can think freely and you can’t go wrong no matter what you think.”

“Even if you don’t understand the complicated reasons for the time being, as long as you believe in those beautiful things, you can move forward bravely.”

Catalina paused, then showed a complicated smile and said:

"Unlike me. As a member of the Pure Love Kingdom Inspectorate, I sometimes have to make judgments before I can think on my own."

Catalina took a deep breath, then slowly opened her eyes, with a solemn light flashing in her eyes.

"My identity makes me believe that pure love is correct. Even though it has many shortcomings, it is still the best state available."

"In fact, it is better than pleasure."

"If Hohenheim goes against pure love, I will have to take necessary measures to forcibly bring him to the Palace of Judgment for the final trial."

"I must uphold and carry out the justice that belongs to me."

Having said that, Catalina bit her lips lightly, with a faint light flashing in her eyes.

On the other side, Lianna was startled at first, then lowered her eyebrows.

"But I think that even if Mr. Hohenheim really betrayed Pure Love, he should not be interrogated."

Lianna clenched the goblet tightly, her delicate body trembling slightly, the thick fruit wine vibrated continuously, and ripples appeared on the surface.

"If he conflicts with pure love, then pure love must be wrong. If he chooses to fight against pleasure, then there must be something wrong with pleasure."

"I don't believe in any one ideology, I believe in him."

Lianna bit her lips tightly, and then a hint of tenderness flashed in her eyes.

Catalina looked at Lianna, staring into her eyes from beginning to end, and finally smiled bitterly and sighed softly.

"That's right."

Gently, she opened her red lips, smiled and said:

"In any case, he is not someone who simply pursues physical pleasure. Even if he chooses to turn against us one day, he must have a good reason."

"I hope that day will never come. Then we can always be friends. Isn't that great?"

As she spoke, Catalina raised her glass with a smile and smiled in Lianna's direction.

Lianna was startled at first, then came to her senses.

Lianna responded with a smile and raised her glass.
