Chapter 236: Officially Joining the Team
At this moment, Deya was squatting inside the lumber mill searching for usable materials.
The lumber mill connected to the outside of the nest, where huge, aesthetically unpleasing machines, like fishing rods, plunged into the dense forests of the outside world. Driven by spirits, environmentally friendly trees rapidly induced by time were transformed by the machines into cubic logs that fell into the nest.
Logically speaking, Fierce Wolf Dragons wouldn’t use lumber, and with lumber taking up so much space, the nest should quickly become overcrowded. However, the lumber mill didn’t actually have much lumber.
While searching for materials, Deya was also taking lessons from her sisters:
White Queen: “Princess, you can’t just hand things over so directly.”
Deya: “Should I throw them instead?”
White Queen: “That’s not what I mean... You’ll make the Observer feel awkward.”
Deya: “( ̄△ ̄;)I don’t understand.”
Black Butler: “Please, just let White do it. I can’t stand to watch this.”
Deya: “I think I’m doing great. The Swordswoman likes me, and the Observer will like me soon too!”
Black Butler: “Who gave you the courage? Little Red, say something to her!”Ne/w novel chapters are published at novelhall.com
Red Death Eater: “Something.”
At that moment, Deya heard footsteps and turned her head to see the Observer pulling the Swordswoman over.
“Why is your personality so different today compared to yesterday, witch?”
“Ah? That’s because yesterday was the White Queen, and today is the Secret Princess.”
Deya didn’t hide anything and spoke very frankly.
Black Butler: “I knew she would sell us all out.”
“The Observer has known about the existence of the Little Witch and the Secret Princess for a long time, we couldn’t have kept it a secret.” White Queen tried very hard to find excuses for Deya.
“Huh?” Deya blinked vigorously, as if pricked by a needle: “Don’t you know? Did I say something wrong? Observer, didn’t you tell her?”
“I don’t know the details myself, that’s why I came to ask you.” Ashe spread his hands: “Witch, do you want to share your secret with us? If you don’t want to, you can refuse, just like I’ve never asked the Swordswoman what ‘Small horn’ means.”
Sonya was taken aback by the question—it was a strange way to ask, similar to how her classmates would introduce male Nobles to her with the tone of selling fruit.
“Hm?” Ashe thought for a moment: “White Queen is dignified and impressive, Red Death Eater is sharp and wild, Black Butler is cool and dashing... Witch, you have three very good sisters.”
“What about the Swordswoman, what do you think?” Deya then turned to Sonya.
“Basically the same as the Observer,” Sonya, with her undeniable social talents, clapped her hands and said: “But each of you is so beautiful. I like the charm of White Queen, the coolness of Red Death Eater, and Black Butler is exactly my type. Witch, you yourself are so cute... Can I have all of you?”
Deya’s eyes sparkled with excitement, and she suddenly jumped to hug Ashe and Sonya, making happy humming noises through her nose. Ashe and Sonya were a bit taken aback by her sudden bear hug, getting pressed to the ground as the Witch rubbed against them like a little bear.
“Witch, this sudden—”
“We’re so happy!” the Witch lifted her head, her charming face brimming with an infectious smile: “The White Queen and the others rarely show themselves in public, almost no one knows they exist. You two are the only ones... They’ve always wanted to know how others would see them, and your approval delights them, delights us all! If you don’t believe me, let them tell you—”
Lise Deya adjusted her glasses and suddenly transformed into the persona of the Black Butler.
The Black Butler sternly declared, “That’s not true, she’s talking nonsense!”
“I am not!” Deya switched back, huffing, “Black Butler, your face was clearly flushed with joy just a moment ago! We all saw it!”
“I knew she would sell us all out!” cursed the Black Butler.
“I rest my case.” The White Queen gave up the struggle.
The Witch sat up, suddenly recalling something, “Right, in the picture book ‘The House of the North Wind,’ the characters became friends after sharing secrets... So, are we friends now?”
“You shared secrets with us, but we haven’t shared ours with you,” Ashe pointed out.
Deya blinked, her socially awkward circuits overloading in the moment.
Ah, is this a rejection? What to do next? I really want to find a hole to crawl into. Maybe it’s time to switch, White Queen save me—
“But we have a long, long future ahead of us in the Virtual Realm,” Ashe stood up and dusted off his pants. “We’ll find time to share our stories.”
Sonya sat up, gently rubbing Deya’s stubborn cowlick, letting out a resigned sigh.
“I’m just an ordinary college girl, I don’t have any sensational secrets to share with you.”
Black-and-White Witch Lise Deya, officially joined the team.
