Deya energetically reached out to high-five Ashe, gave the Sword Princess a hug, and then jumped into the sports car, driving into the rain curtain.
“Finally, it’s just the two of us.”
Ashe turned to look back, quite dissatisfied, and said, “Sword Princess, why did you have to sow discord in front of the Witch, making me the bad guy? If the Witch ends up hating me because of this, it will be a real problem... what’s wrong with you?”
Ashe spoke for a while before realizing that the Sword Princess was staring gloomily at the reverse golden rain outside. She was pouting angrily, completely different from the gentle and considerate demeanor she had in front of the Witch. She didn’t even spare him a glance, practically warning him with an “Inside: Dangerous Cat, Very Sensitive” sign.
“The Witch was finally cured, and now you have problems?” Ashe sighed, rubbing his forehead. “I’m not a psychologist... If only we had one on our team, it would save us a lot of trouble...”
Seeing that the Sword Princess still ignored him, Ashe used the Heart Pen to write a few lines in front of her:
“Do you prefer the deep sea or the starry sky?”
“What do you want for dinner, braised Lala Fatty or stir-fried Lala Fatty with bamboo shoots?”
“Do you like thigh-high socks or stockings?”
“Do you prefer gold coins or silver coins?”
“Of course, I prefer gold coins!” Sonya grumbled, “I’m not an idiot!”
Ashe blinked and continued his previous question, “Why did you badmouth me in front of the Witch? I haven’t offended you recently, have I?”
“Although we usually communicate normally, to make the Witch drop her guard against us, it’s best if we appear to be in a hostile state,” Sonya explained. “Since I’m responsible for helping the Witch, you have to be the one opposing her, so she can quickly get closer to me.”
“Moreover, who said you haven’t offended me recently?”
Ashe looked innocent, “How did I offend you? I barely said a few words just now!”
Sonya looked at him wistfully.
Ashe hadn’t actually offended her with his words. The one who had offended her was the Witch.
The moment she heard that the Witch could go home and find someone to be affectionate with after this, the Stretch Paw Club President broke down instantly!
Ashe paused slightly, suddenly remembering that the curse he purchased was the “no toilet paper” one. Then he had returned to reality only to have the Gospel used to wipe... He felt like the ‘Dramatic Poet’ was mocking him.
“I think the word ‘impact’ is a bit too gentle for this...”
“I’m back!”
Deya emerged from the Rain Curtain, seeing the Observer silently watching the Sword Princess, who was sitting properly in the back seat. She curiously asked, “Did something happen while I was gone?”
“No.” Sonya replied, “Witch, did you investigate the special building inside?”
“Yes, I did.” Deya nodded, “It appears to be the Fate Questioning you both mentioned, but the format seems slightly different.”
Fate Questioning!?
Ashe and Sonya immediately became alert. When they followed Deya inside, they found it was indeed different from the Fate Questioning in the Sea of Knowledge—
They saw a round table with three chairs, three pieces of paper, and three pairs of headphones.
The three exchanged glances, then sat down face-to-face and put on the headphones. The first thing they heard were the rules: “The Fate Questioning listening test will now begin. Answer questions based on the content of the dialogue. Failure to answer correctly will result in immediate termination. Correct answers allow you to continue. If the number of correct answers is greater than or equal to 1, the respondent has the right to ask questions.”
Sonya exchanged a quick look with the others and then heard the following conversation through her headphones—
“Witch, what do you think is the meaning of our lives?”
“Revenge.”
“No, I mean, since we were born into this world, we must have certain missions only we can complete. What do you think our true mission is?”
“Even if it burns down the whole world, we must have revenge.”
“Question: Who do we need to avenge?”
“1The world 2The Observer 3The Divine Sovereign 4 All of the above”
