"Purple stars twinkle in the night sky,
Strangers dance in the mortal world;
Who is crying
Mortals never understand loneliness.
Falling from the sky is an angel,
Greed will eventually bring disaster;
Flying far away are angels;
The tenderness of flowers is self-aware.
The fifth act ends in sorrow,
God overlooking the world,
Knowing a future that will be even more sad
—
That was disaster. "
Jenkins uncontrollably read this poem that he probably understood. At the end of the reading, his mood suddenly became extremely bad, because the words "crying" and "lonely" seemed to refer to him some time ago.
"Have I behaved so badly?"
He asked himself, and gave the answer "Of course not".
"However, the slate reminds me that the next key word is 'disaster'. Not long ago, Miss Broniance said something similar... It seems that since I became Jenkins, I have been encountering disasters. This refers to the next certain thing, or are you describing it in general?”
No matter how much he thought about it, he couldn't figure it out, but the most urgent task was to send this slate to the right place. While it's fine to leave it at home, Jenkins doesn't think he needs the hot potato.
"Last time, I seemed to be impersonating... no, I was a man in black robe. Last time, I seemed to be a man in black robe, throwing a slate into the sea, and destroying a boat to attract attention. I can't do that this time, I I don't want to lure out Nolan's hidden criminals just because of messing with things."
Taking advantage of the gradually darkening sky, Jenkins was carrying the slate, and the unicorn was carrying him. Fly to the sky again. He originally planned to send the slate to the prophets, but halfway through the flight, he saw Professor Burns walking south of the city along a remote alley.
"Oh, professor, long time no see."
He whispered hello in the sky, observed the terrain, and let the unicorn land slowly.
This professor, who was more relaxed on Sunday, had originally planned to go to the suburban cemetery at night to visit his gravekeeper friend after training those students who might have postponed their graduation in the afternoon.
I thought that going through the alley would be a shortcut, but when I walked halfway, I suddenly took off my hat and looked up at the sky, but found nothing.
"Why do you seem to hear Jenkins' voice?"
The professor with extremely sensitive senses muttered, and put the black round hat on his head again. There was a fork in the road ahead, and Professor Burns took the one on the left. After going out from here, it will take another 20 minutes to leave the city. He is still thinking about whether there is hot tea to drink in the cemetery.
Turning the corner, a half-person-high stone slab stood in the middle of the road. The professor's footsteps hesitated, and he looked around suspiciously, making sure that this was not a stonemason's workshop. Then carefully bent down, picked up a stone from the uneven ground and threw it over.
The stone hit the slab and made a slight noise. The startled professor immediately turned around and ran away, and then realized that it was a normal noise.
"Oh, the older you get, the more vigilant you become."
He said self-deprecating words, rubbed against the wall to the other side of the slate, and found that there were words on the other side. Just like all the people who saw the new content [Doomsday Document] for the first time, when his eyes came into contact with those words, he uncontrollably read all the words above in full.
"Um?"
After reading the last word, I added a question word to express my confusion about the status quo.
The puzzled expression on his face gradually solidified, followed by a serious and surprised expression. He walked a few steps quickly and wanted to touch the stone slab with his hands, looking overjoyed, but then quickly backed away, lowered his head and closed his eyes to draw the holy emblem on his chest.
He looked left and right to see if there were no pedestrians nearby, spit on the palm of his hand twice, then went to the stone slab and picked it up, then walked towards the entrance of the alley.
It wasn't until the professor got into the carriage and drove towards the church that Jenkins, who was hiding on the nearby roof, heaved a sigh of relief. He apologized softly in his heart for scaring the professor, then summoned his unicorn and flew into the sky.
Originally, he planned to visit his senior sister, Miss Stillwell, but now it was dinner time, and Ruen still had someone waiting for him.
"Meow~"
As soon as Loen manifested, the meowing of the cat came over. Jenkins reached out to take the chocolate that flew over from the table, rubbed its little head twice, and then looked at Alexia who was sitting on the sofa reading a book.
Ruen was approaching night, and the setting sun had only the last ray of light in the sky, but it still made the frozen city in the distance shine through. The living room was brightly lit, and the gas lamps and the crystal chandelier overhead provided light. Alexia, who was reading a book under this light, looked beautiful.
She seemed to be sitting here all day, in the same position that Jenkins had left.
"Good evening Jenkins, we're about to start dinner."
She heard the cat meowing, so she closed the book and looked at the young man, then asked playfully:
"Looking at you, this day should be very colorful, right? Let me guess. You have already met Miss Hathaway Hessa and told her about Ruen."
"Is such that."
"So, how did she react?"
"I have revealed these things before, so she is not as angry or angry as I imagined, and she doesn't seem to want to talk to me because of it..."
Jenkins thought for a while: "But I originally wanted to invite her to Ruen today, at least to meet with you, but she said that she would wait for a while."
"Miss Hessa is a good girl...but you are such a fool."
The short lady commented with a sigh.
At dinner, Jenkins finally saw Dolores again. Her Royal Highness seemed to be in the same mood as usual, but once Jenkins looked at her, her cheeks would turn slightly red. This must have something to do with the "marriage proposal" last night.
Jenkins at the dinner table told them what happened in Nolan today. Alexia's focus was on his conversation with the goblin in the book, which she thought was very important; Dolores cared more about Hathaway Hearing that Jenkins planned to invite her to Ruen, he still worried about how he should greet her.
"Miss Hesha is only the daughter of the earl, and your meeting is a private meeting, so you don't have to worry about complicated etiquette."
Julia reminded with all her heart.
"That's not okay, it's a very important thing."
Dolores spoke in annoyance, and then wanted to ask her teacher for help, but found that Alexia was secretly observing the cat eating sausage on Jenkins' left.
