"I thought Miss Windsor would be a very out-of-group person."
Walking on the lawn with Britney, there are no dark clouds tonight, and the sky is filled with stars. The night wind in early summer is already hot in the coolness, so most of the shirts in men's dresses are light and thin, and women will choose those skirts with good ventilation to show their elegance and beauty.
"A successful noble lady must have successful communication skills."
Britney laughed and explained that she enjoyed the walk alone with Jenkins, although it would have been even better if Jenkins hadn't brought his cat with him.
"My family will be here soon, and I will introduce you to each other."
Jenkins said.
"Is this a formal meeting?"
The blonde girl blushed a little.
"Of course... oh well, I see what you mean. Yes, this is a formal meeting."
Jenkins nodded affirmatively, then took Britney's hand and walked into the depths of the garden. He liked this environment full of plants and vitality very much, and he clearly knew that this was the influence of the elf blood.
The two walked around in the garden for 20 minutes before returning to the location of the fountain. Immediately afterwards, Hathaway also said that they were going to take a casual walk, and left there again with Jenkins.
"I can assure you that you must have kissed her just now."
After making sure that the people behind saw the two, the red-haired girl pointed to Jenkins' lips and said.
Jenkins subconsciously raised his hand to wipe his mouth, but immediately remembered that Brienne had wiped his lipstick for him just now.
"Jenkins, you've always been like this."
Hathaway smiled and narrowed her eyes, which Jenkins took as a compliment.
"Let me guess, do you press her against the shadowy side of the statue's base and kiss her, or kiss her on the bench in the recess in front of the grass wall deep in the garden?"
she asked boldly again.
"Don't ask that kind of question."
Jenkins said, blushing.
"Of course I have to, because..."
Hathaway suddenly stood on tiptoe and kissed Jenkins on the side of his face:
"I can't lose to Britney, I know people prefer blondes."
"Actually, I like them all."
Jenkins said in a low voice, and then was lightly hammered by Hathaway with his fist.
The two chatted while walking, and they had a lot of topics in common, including the matter of the benefactor. The night before yesterday, when Jenkins was dueling part of the essence of [Nightmare of Crime] in his dream, because of the combined effect of lies and dreams, part of the illusion was projected above the city of Belduran. Of course, Hathaway also saw this scene.
She didn't quite understand what this meant, so she wanted to learn the truth from Jenkins, who was a scribe of the Orthodox Church. Jenkins half-truthfully said that it had something to do with the followers of the lie, and then revealed something about the Scent Appreciation Committee.
The red-haired girl lamented that the city of Beldyland was as dangerous as Nolan, and then worriedly asked Jenkins if he had anything to do with it.
"Me? Yes, there is a little connection."
Hathaway immediately became nervous, but she knew that the Holy Son had a lot to do, so she didn't ask Jenkins to take the initiative to stay away from those dangerous things, but just told him to pay attention to safety and not to take risks casually.
She also asked about the cat meowing that she heard in a trance before the phantom under the night sky disappeared that night. Jenkins didn't dare to say that it had something to do with him, and considering that he hadn't become a demigod, the Keeper and Dad didn't tell him that it was related to the ancient beast of disaster, so Jenkins didn't know that he often saw it in his dream What exactly is it.
"The church just said that it was a very dangerous thing, but if I had to guess, it might be the [moon-swallowing civet] mentioned in the myth. creatures of the moon."
Jenkins said casually, Hathaway immediately showed a shocked expression, Chocolate also showed a shocked expression, and then immediately returned to pretending to be stupid.
Regarding the black cat that appeared in his dream, Jenkins conducted investigations from various channels, but each time he ended up without a problem. Until that night a few days ago, when he condensed his first drop of divinity, he made the black cat appear, and somehow felt that the cat didn't seem to be his enemy.
He guessed that the black cat was probably an evil thing sealed in the subspace, because of a special connection to establish a connection with him in the dream. He now regards the cat as a mentally handicapped cat with majestic power but not as high as chocolate. After all, every time he meets it in his dream, the cat fights Jenkins like it is playing with a ball of yarn.
"Meow~"
Chocolat decides to let Jenkins know how great the great cat is tonight.
The two walked and chatted, and when they reached a secluded corner of the garden, Hathaway asked Jenkins to repeat what he had done to Britney. Of course Jenkins would not refuse, but just as he was about to reach out and hug the red-haired girl, the cat on his shoulder suddenly meowed.
Although Jenkins still can't understand Chocolate's meow, he can understand Chocolate's mood from the "meow" in different tones. Hearing its voice, he felt alert in his heart, knowing that it was a warning to him that there was danger nearby. The movement of opening his arms turned into pulling out his cane on the spot, and he swung the cane behind him with his right hand, protecting Hathaway with his left hand, and his eyes were alert. looking around.
It's very quiet here, and you can only vaguely hear the voices of men and women talking and making out. But from the perspective of the Eye of Reality, a group of dazzling red aura shines like the sun in this dark night.
The gardens are lit by elegant seated gas lamps, mostly stone structures. This light is not very bright, so it highlights the brilliance of the aura even more.
At the same time, beside the red aura, there is an imperceptible black aura, which is the power of the monster.
"What's wrong Jenkins?"
Hathaway asked nervously.
"There were uninvited 'guests' at the banquet..."
He explained, and was silent for a few seconds before continuing:
"You go to Britney and Miss Windsor, then find the priests of the church, and stand with them. Recently, the Church of the Twelve Orthodox Gods have sent representatives to Beldylan for different reasons. Such a banquet will definitely invite them Attend."
"No, Jenkins, I'm not leaving. It's not like I can't help you in any way, and how do you want me to explain it to them?"
Hathaway asked.
It made sense for Jenkins to think about it, and the red aura didn't mean danger, but the black streak next to it made him alert.
"Then go and have a look together, you walk behind me, be careful."
