then--
pat.
The milk that was in my hand splashed on my face.
"Wait... Miss, are you okay?"
The dean immediately stood up as if something serious was about to happen.
"Ahem, ahem, nothing."
Ella, who was choked by the milk, wiped the corners of her mouth. Fortunately, the milk was only warm, and not much was spilled, probably only wetting the front of her clothes and cheeks - even her eyelashes were stained with milk.
"sorry."
As the main culprit, Eve bowed her head and apologized honestly.
"It's nothing, Eve means well, but I have to go change my clothes."
"etc."
Standing up, Eve walked to Ella and held her shoulders.
"Hmm? What's up Eve?"
"It can't be wasted."
呲——
Before she could react, Ella felt a wet touch on the side of her face and the sound of mucous membrane sliding across her skin. After carefully thinking about what had happened in her mind, her entire face suddenly turned crimson due to the surging blood.
“E-Eve!?”
Ella took a step back and covered the side of her face where a little touch still remained, and asked in a mixed tone of surprise and shyness. If she was not mistaken, no, there was absolutely no second possibility, Eve must have licked her face with her tongue just now.
"Mmm, delicious."
Eve didn't think there was anything wrong with her actions, and instead seemed very satisfied.
"That's not what I'm talking about! Besides, ghosts can't taste milk, right?"
"Lisa-san...what was the priest doing just now?"
"First, it must be some kind of ritual, wishing another lady good luck or something."
"Can I do that in the future?"
"This... shouldn't be possible, right?"
Blushing, the girl, about twelve or thirteen years old, answered with a wry smile.
Of course, what was embarrassing for Ella was nothing in the eyes of the elder dean. The dean showed the kind smile unique to old men and watched Ella walk away quickly with a red face, using the excuse of changing clothes.
"You two ladies have such a wonderful relationship."
These words were said to Eve who was still standing beside him.
Eve patted her flat chest and said confidently.
"Of course, Ella. My fiancé is, well... a secret."
Chapter 68: The Return of Entarosphiel
*创世纪6187年8月23日 下午14:21分 尤尤岛
Since it has been rainy on Youyou Island recently, going out for fun will only get you soaked. Therefore, even Angelica, who is most afraid of boredom, has to calm down and focus on trying to make herself more cute. Although the reason is unclear, the cuter the girl, the more Youyous will flock to her, and when she prays, more Youyous will float in the air.
As for Ella, who had had enough sleep, she chose to do something that only she could accomplish while everyone was killing time.
In a room less than 20 square meters, a girl with her white hair combed into two ponytails stood opposite another girl with purple hair wearing black pleated clothes. The rainy weather made the light in the room a little dim, and water vapor mixed with the fragrance of soil floated in from the open window, bringing a hint of coolness.
Lotte said softly as she straightened the straps of Ella's dark red dress.
"Where are you going, Miss Ella?"
The "where" here refers to which country. The purpose of Ella's trip is to convey to other countries that Entarosphiel has no ill intentions.
Ella lowered her head, a thoughtful expression on her face.
"Well... first of all, it would be better to exclude the God-Humans and the Empire. I always feel like they're difficult to communicate with."
"So, should we choose between the Kingdom and the Papal States?"
"As for the Kingdom, news will spread very slowly, after all, it's in the westernmost part of the continent. As for the Papal States... Lintelina's Chamber of Commerce should still be in the Papal States. Let's take this opportunity to check it out."
The little ghosts are looked after by Sadler, the mayor of Semorabi, so there is no need to worry for the time being. However, Lintelina and others who have no one to rely on are a bit worrying. They have just been rescued from the underground bandits and have to immediately plunge into the busy work for their livelihood. I really have no idea whether they can run the Chamber of Commerce well.
"Ms. Ella, have you thought about what to say then?"
"Um... this... improvisation?"
If it really doesn't work, just make up a false purpose to fool people. For example, Entalosfeir appeared on the mainland to look for someone. As for how to implement it, it is also very simple. I just need to go to the Pope and ask if he knows that person. Because the Pope and others will definitely not be able to find the person I fabricated, so I can continue to appear on the mainland as "Entalosfeir" - the excuse is to look for someone - although it will definitely not completely eliminate the vigilance of various countries, but at least it will not be as tense as it is now.
"I'm a little worried about Ms. Ella's improvisation."
Lotte smiled bitterly, untied the black ribbon on Ella's head that was about to fall off, and tied her hair up again.
"Even Lotte is like this. How mean."
"It can't be helped, since Ella-san is just too cute."
"Mmm... Looks like we need to keep Lotte away from Iris."
Ella's anger made Luty laugh out loud. Finally, she straightened the hem of Ella's long skirt, took a step back, and stood upright in front of Ella.
"Then I'll wait here for you to come back."
It would be very troublesome if someone came during this period, so Lotte had to stay in the room to stop the visitor.
"Well, please, Lotte."
After saying this, Ella took a deep breath and activated "Advanced Teleportation" to leave Yoyo Island.
◇
"The Holy City remains as peaceful as ever..."
The holy capital of the Enstanit Church is quite peaceful, and the unchanging scenery seems to bring a sense of tranquility to people at all times.
"Now let's get down to business."
Shaking her head to expel the emotion from her mind, Ella, floating high in the sky, began searching for Pope Tria's location on the "Terrain Search".
"Are you still in the sanctuary during the day? Well, it would be more convenient if there's no one around, 'Short Distance Teleport'."
"Who?"
Because she did not use magic to hide her body this time, Ella was discovered by Pope Tria of the Enstanit Church as soon as she arrived at the sanctuary - a room about the same size as the main hall of an ordinary family.
[Vampires' perception is indeed very sharp.]
While complaining in her heart, Ella adjusted her tone and spoke slowly.
"Enta Rosephiel."
"What... So it's Lady Entarosviel who has arrived. I'm sorry for not welcoming you."
Although he looked extremely surprised at first, the old-looking Pope quickly regained his composure. However, the fine beads of sweat on his forehead revealed his inner nervousness.
"May I ask why you came here today?"
The Pope's eyes kept swaying from side to side as he carefully chose his words, and he seemed to be feeling very guilty. Before this, Entalosfil had specifically instructed him to ensure Eve's safety, but now that Eve was not in the Holy City, it was natural for Theresia to feel guilty.
Noticing the Pope's abnormality, Ella frowned. Due to the influence of the magic potion that changed her appearance, Ella's appearance in the state of Entarosphiel was cold, so she looked as if she was dissatisfied.
The Pope froze.
"this……"
Should I take the initiative to speak out?
Theresa was in a state of inner conflict.
If he said at this moment that Eve had actually gone to the demon clan, perhaps his position would appear to be at ease, and Entalosphiel might not care too much about this matter, and would be lenient towards the church, or simply give it a warning.
But what if Entalosfell hadn't come here for Eve? Speaking up would have been like asking for trouble. Thinking of this, Thirea glanced at Ella's expression—she still couldn't tell. He couldn't help but curse inwardly. He had never expected Entalosfell to arrive at this time. After all, Eve would only have to wait a few days before she set off back to the Holy City.
"Is it a secret that is inconvenient to tell?"
Ella asked, if Thereya didn't want to say it, she had no intention of delving into it. This trip was to convey Entalosfiel's goodwill to the world. If she did something that would be misunderstood, it would feel like the loss outweighed the gain.
Ella's questioning made Theresia grit her teeth and tell the reason.
"My lord, Lady Eve may have to wait a while longer before returning to the Holy City."
"Uh-huh?"
It is true that Eve has not been in the Holy City recently. It is more accurate to say that she did something incredible to herself in the nursing home yesterday, but the question is, why did she say this?
Hearing the question in Ella's words—definitely a frown—Thia continued to add hesitantly.
"This is because recently... recently, Lady Eve wanted to attend the coronation ceremony of the new Demon Lord Elelaya. No matter how much I requested, Lady Eve strongly requested to attend in person, so..."
After hearing this, Ella finally understood that Theresa thought she was here to look for Eve. Of course, if she said, "Oh, I see, I came here for something else," Theresa would definitely be an embarrassing situation of being self-indulgent, so Ella pretended to be a little disappointed.
"...Is that so? I wanted to ask that kid something, but since he's not here, there's nothing I can do."
Theria immediately breathed a sigh of relief. She knew that her honest behavior was not wrong. In order to appease Entalosfiel's dissatisfaction, Theria spoke immediately.
"If you have any questions, please ask me directly. I will do my best to answer them."
"Really? No."
She almost used Ella's tone, and Ella immediately coughed twice to adjust her breathing.
"Wow—answer with all your strength, how far can you go?"
"As long as I know something, I will not hide it."
When faced with violence equivalent to tenth-order magic, there is no benefit in concealing it. Even if he doesn't tell, Entalosfeil will get the same result by asking other people. If Entalosfeil gets angry because of inconsistent information, the consequences will be unimaginable. You know, the other party said with his own mouth that he is a madman who will unleash forbidden magic in the Holy City.
Tria's answer hit Ella's heart. While she was happy that the topic was on the right track, Ella put on an indifferent expression.
"So, do you know—um, do you know 'Dorothy'?"
Since she couldn't think of a suitable name at the moment, Ella could only act as the protagonist of a story on Earth.
"Dorothy? Lord Entarosfer, I don't know this person. I will convey this matter to the other bishops later, but may I ask, who is Dorothy to you?"
"She was my best friend when I was little. Due to some reasons, we got separated."
"I see... I understand. If you don't mind, you may stay here for a while. I will immediately gather all the bishops still in the Holy City. With more people, it will be easier to search for relevant clues."
"No, no thanks. If you have any information, you can organize it into a document for me and I'll collect it later."
After all, it was a character I made up, and no matter how hard I tried, I would never be able to find him, so there was no reason for me to stay here any longer.
As if she had thought of something, Theresia asked.
"Sir, may I please convey this to the other Popes? The more people searching, the easier it will be to find your dear friend for you sooner."
If he could convey it to other popes, he could correspondingly spread Entalosfeil's true purpose to the surrounding countries with the help of other popes. Then, even if Entalosfeil held him accountable, he would have a legitimate reason to evade responsibility, that is, "I just told the other popes as you said, and I don't know how the news spread." Once the number of people who know the intelligence exceeds a certain number, and time passes, it will be like finding a needle in a haystack to track down who was the first person to spread the news.
However, this made Ella even happier. For her, the more people who knew about this, the better. The fundamental purpose of this trip was to use the power of the Pope to announce to the world that Entalosfil's purpose of "looking for someone". Of course, the fact that Ella did not expect Theresia's little thoughts was another matter. Generally speaking, it felt like a lucky coincidence.
Ella nodded.
"Of course, as long as I can get a clue about Dorothy, it doesn't matter who I pass the message to."
"Is that so? I understand. I'll go get ready now. Would you like to take a tour of the Holy City?"
"No, then, see you later."
After waving to the Pope who was also suppressing his joy, Ella paused the strange weapon in her hand and disappeared in the holy city of the Enstarnit Church.
◇
After finding the location of Lintelina and the others on the "Topography Search" - they were in the city of Semirabi - with the help of teleportation magic, Ella arrived at a mansion that looked like a noble residence, with a wooden door with simple patterns in front of it.
"Lintrina, everyone says we can just use the old workshop. Why did we buy this one? I've made some gold recently, but squandering it like this will only cause problems sooner or later."
The arguing sounds coming from the room made Ella stop knocking on the door. It was really rude to disturb them at such a critical moment.
"Wow, this is part of the Chamber of Commerce's publicity. Buying a mansion symbolizes the strength of our Chamber of Commerce. Besides, the rooms in the workshop alone are no longer enough to accommodate everyone. At this time, spending a small amount of money to purchase a mansion that the nobles don't need is a very normal expense.
