Absolute Speed ​​of a Certain Anime

After a while.

"Can you please have a little face?"

Custer buried his chin in his arms, a speechless expression on his face that said "how dare you".

"Wouldn't that be shameless?"

Jiang Li smiled nonchalantly.

"...Are you so open with everyone?"

Custer sighed.

She felt very strange. It was as if this person had known her for a long time. He didn't care about the closeness of their relationship when speaking. He would say whatever he wanted to say.

To be honest, she really envied this straightforwardness.

"No, I'm so open with you."

"……Eh?"

Custer was stunned for a moment, his face turning red uncontrollably.

"Eh eh eh eh eh?!"

"Wait, wait a minute! Even if you say that, I won't agree! Although I admit that I am indeed very touched, how should I put it... it's too early for me to be in love!"

Does this person like me?

Custer's imagination ran wild.

He said before, "Why is it the King of Auldrums again?" Could it be that he wanted to get my attention but was embarrassed, so he used this clumsy method?

You can't blame me for thinking this way, it's obvious that what this guy said was too easy to be misunderstood!

What, what should I do?

This is the first time in my life that someone has confessed to me! Feeling-wise, I'm really happy, but this kind of thing seems too far away from me, right?

"laugh!"

A ruthless sneer came to my ears.

"How can you be so shameless? Who the hell would be interested in a washboard like you?"

I don’t know if it’s an illusion.

Custer felt as if his heart was broken.

"I'm only telling you this because I know you, someone from Panhuman History. Don't be so conceited. I can't even fill my teeth with a bean sprout like you! If you want to talk about love, wait ten years before you do!"

After saying this, Jiang Li lifted his cloak and left in a dashing manner.

Not long after, Guda and Mashu came running over together.

"Castor, what's wrong? I just heard a high-pitched scream... Wow, you look so ferocious!"

"Ugly! I'd rather die than date you! You wear such a thick disguise every day, you must be too ugly and afraid of being laughed at by others! Humph, you deserve it!"

"Well, Miss Custer, I'm sorry that I may not be able to fulfill your wish. Mr. Jiang Li is actually a handsome man beyond imagination..."

"……handsome man?"

"Yes, an extremely handsome man."

"That's also ugly! In my eyes, he is ugly!"

Custer angrily cursed someone who was no longer there.

Emotionally, she would never forget this brief moment of self-conceit and being laughed at!

I don’t want to be in love anymore in my life!

"Is Mr. Jiang Li a handsome man?"

Guda pulled at the corner of Mashu's clothes and asked her in a low voice.

"Yes, Senior, I'm afraid you are more beautiful than anyone I know."

Mashu recalled the various handsome men she had met so far and sadly discovered that no one seemed to be able to compare to him.

Why does this person have that kind of personality?

"Wow, that's incredible!"

Guda was amazed and couldn't help but become curious.

After all, Mashu has seen all kinds of heroic spirits. When Chaldea was still around, all kinds of handsome men and boys gathered in Chaldea. Can't she even compare to those handsome heroic spirits?

…………

"Everyone, I'm back!"

At the front desk of the bar, a figure came to the bar in a hurry.

"Da Vinci, listen to me. Aurora just contacted me and said she might have information about Mashu!"

Jiang Li walked in from the back door and saw the man's figure at a glance.

He was a man with a silver bob, a furry white cloak, and a proper crown on his head.

Paired with his handsome appearance, he looks as elegant as a prince from some country.

"I'm so sorry, Oberon. Thank you for your tireless efforts in helping us search, but we actually reunited with Mash yesterday!"

Little Da Vinci stood at the bar and poured a glass of wine in front of him.

"It's my treat, so consider this as an apology to you!"

“…Already reunited?”

The silver-haired man named Oberon was stunned when he heard this.

"Yes, thanks to the helper of pan-human history behind you!"

Little Da Vinci pointed at Jiang Li who had just walked out of the back door and introduced him to him with a smile.

"This is Oberon, the Goblin King who appears in Shakespeare's play A Midsummer Night's Dream. However, he himself is a legend that existed before he was created. He is also what I mentioned before, the Servant of Panhuman History. He has helped us a lot and is a very reliable assistant!"

Jiang Li and Aoberon met eyes.

He knew that there was such a servant who led Guda and the others to Salisbury, helped introduce them to Aurora, and was also very enthusiastic and kept running around outside to inquire about information about Mashu.

He can be said to be a very sociable servant, with the word "connections" almost written on his face.

"Hello."

Jiang Li nodded, which could be considered as a greeting.

"Hello...Is that so? Then the information about the human ranch I just discovered won't be needed."

Oberon's eyes moved slightly and he nodded to Jiang Li in a friendly manner.

Then he looked regretful.

"Da Vinci, three more cups, free for me!"

"Okay, okay, you're not buying things on credit again, are you?"

Da Vinci has an expression on his face that shows he can't do anything to you.

“Please call this necessary expenditure!”

Auberon emphasized this out loud.

"Human Ranch? What's that?"

Jiang Li was about to leave, but he accidentally heard some unexpected words and stopped in his tracks.

"You don't know? Leonardo da Vinci didn't know either? Then let me explain!"

Auberon sat at the bar and drank a glass of wine happily.

"That's a special place managed by the Queen, and it's heavily guarded! As for what it's used for... from the word 'ranch,' we can infer it's a facility closely related to livestock, right?"

He made a profound but very conservative statement.

The meaning of the words has been conveyed.

"...I understand. Thank you."

Jiang Li was silent for a moment and nodded to Oberon.

Then he walked out of Mike Hotel and disappeared from their sight.

"Is this person truly a helper from pan-human history?"

Auberon looked at his receding figure, his eyes darkening slightly.

"What's wrong? Is there any problem?"

Little Da Vinci looked at him curiously while pouring wine for other guests.

"That's not a problem..."

Auberon scratched his head in frustration.

"But that guy is human, right? Isn't his presence in this Lostbelt suspicious? I think it's best to keep an eye on him, okay?"

"You're such a worrier, but I understand that."

Little Da Vinci replied with a smile.

Two updates

Chapter 972 Aurora of the Wind

2023-06-01

Salisbury has a large cathedral in the centre of the town.

Every time the hour comes, a melodious bell will ring from inside, attracting passers-by to watch.

Jiang Li came to the front of the cathedral and stopped to watch for a moment.

Without anyone noticing, he walked into the cathedral.

The interior layout of the church is almost the same as that of pan-human history. The overall design is snow-white and translucent, and it looks solemn and holy. This is probably the influence of Queen Morgan bestowing the knowledge of pan-human history on the fairies.

The church was sparsely populated, with only a few human guards in armor, and almost no one came here to pray.

Jiang Li suddenly discovered something strange.

He spent time in Camelot, Sheffield and Salisbury, but did not see any worship of the gods in any of the cities!

Logically speaking, Britain should be covered by Celtic mythology, so why can't we see even a single church dedicated to gods here?

The cathedral in front of us seems to be just a church shell, without any priests or nuns working here.

Instead, it looks more like someone's private property, and the guards around it are like those guarding the house.

It should be a place to worship gods, so why can't we see any trace of gods?

With this question in mind, Jiang Li walked past the unaware guards and went up the stairs.

Once you get upstairs, the feeling of private space becomes stronger.

Until you reach the top floor, it has become a completely personal place.

Sensing the breath of life around him, Jiang Li came to a room.

"Lady Aurora, as you instructed, I have already informed Oberon that the humans captured in southern Britain will be sent to the human ranch. I believe the Child of Prophecy and his party will depart for the human ranch soon."

A meticulous female voice came from inside, as if reporting on work.

"Well done, Kral."

What followed was a voice that sounded full of kindness and gentleness.

"…But, Lady Aurora, I don't understand."

"Tell me, Klar. I'll do my best to explain whatever you have doubts about."

"Thank you for your kindness. Lord Gawain, the goblin knight, is currently stationed at the human ranch. If they go there to cause trouble, they will definitely run into Lord Gawain, who is definitely not an opponent the Son of Prophecy and his group can defeat. If we send them to the human ranch, aren't we sending them to their deaths?"
