The cold-faced earl doesn't want to trigger the plot

Even, in terms of Phantom Thief's injuries, he might be responsible for changing the original plot.

The second option is "rebuke".

Presumably, he doesn't need to be a galgame expert in his previous life, as long as someone with a slightly normal emotional intelligence knows how to choose in such a scene to set up a banner.

Ever since, Riber chose——

Volume II: Chapter [-], The Rebuke

reproach.

Yes, Riber decided to choose this option.

Although, a few casual words of comfort seemed to be able to increase Ewenna's favorability.But... what does he want Ewenna's favorability for?

Wouldn't it be nice to solve a series of incidents related to "The Dismemberer" together, and then forget each other from now on?

It's not that he has any prejudice against Ewenna, but a good girl who imitates a serial killer to dismember and dispose of the corpse, which is a bit too hardcore.

Riber felt that the fragile body of his noble young master might not be able to bear it.

Therefore, he believes that if the relationship between the two of them can be maintained at the level of "although they can cooperate, it would be a waste to say a word after the cooperation is over", it should be just right.

And just when Riber decided to say something that lowered his favorability, Ywenna, who had been silent all this time, spoke first.

"Perhaps... at first, I did have that idea."

Ewenna whispered in a weak voice,

"It's not as specific as suicide. It's just that if there are things about yourself, it doesn't matter even if you discard them... Or, you want everything to be destroyed or something."

There were some pauses between Ewenna's words, but she spoke continuously,

"When I decided to take revenge alone, I thought that no matter what price I paid, it didn't matter. So, even though I knew that my actions might bring disaster to innocent people, I still chose to strengthen my belief... It's just that after some irreversible things really happened, I realized that I might not be as determined as I thought."

This...

Riber felt that the atmosphere was a bit wrong.

Although the two are above the sky now, they are in a state of being close to each other in general.

And under such a close distance, Ewenna suddenly began to confide in such a tone.How do you feel, this is the kind of situation where in the middle of the plot, after a common experience, the hero and heroine open their hearts to each other and deepen their understanding of each other?

Of course, Riber himself didn't open his heart at all.

"So, when I saw the 'Explosive Flame Demon' drop those pyrotechnic boxes, I picked them up. I don't know whether I think he can't be allowed to cause harm to Nancheng District, or I am doing it for myself. I made 'compensation' for my mistakes. In short, I followed him all the way and picked up all his fireworks boxes. Then... I realized how unbearable I am."

Evanna sighed softly,

"When I picked up three or four pyrotechnic boxes, maybe I still had something like a determination. Even if I had to sacrifice myself, I had to make sure that the pyrotechnic boxes would not affect innocent people. However, as I picked up more and more , thinking that the thing in my arms might explode at any time, turning myself into ashes. All I can think of is my heartbeat that keeps accelerating, and the feeling of being so scared that I can hardly control my body. In fact, the road signs I left for you, I should have stopped in the middle. Because, since I wanted to protect this city from the hands of the Blaze Demon at all costs, I shouldn't have involved you... But in the end, You also know."

Ribel felt that the strength of Ewenna's arm holding her was loosened.

"I'm always saying people are stupid, but I'm the one who's really stupid. I ended up screwing everything up. So what if I picked up all those fireworks boxes? I had no idea what to do with them, and I didn't Thinking about this kind of thing. Gathering them together will only cause greater disasters. Instead, because of my own selfishness, there are no interrupted road signs, and only a sliver of hope left, but brought you to resolve everything..."

"As you said, I really can't do anything and make everything worse. And, timid, cowardly, selfish, incompetent...really useless."

"So... I really still, is it better to die?"

"..."

No no no no!

Don't throw this kind of question here!

Riber, whose expression was still "calm", exploded in his heart.

what's the situation?

Why would a member of the Phantom Thieves, a copycat of the "Dismemberer", a dark doctor in Nancheng District, and the future Witch of Sorrow, ask him such a question?

Are they familiar?

Even including the conversation in the air, the number of times they exchanged is basically the level of counting with two hands, right?

Is it really okay to leave such an important matter to him to decide?

Moreover, Riber always felt that he only needed a simple "hmm", and maybe Ewenna would really jump from his arms to the ground.

This is no longer a matter of fragile and non-fragile products. This heroine seems to be really about to break.

The previous heroine, Melueita, looked weak and weak, but in fact she was lively and full of energy.

And Ewenna looks fierce, and the things she does are shocking, but she is actually incredibly fragile...

Thinking about it, if it wasn't really desperate, even if there was someone she could confide in, Ewenna wouldn't be so desperate that she could ask him such a question.

Tsk, this person's popularity is a bit off...

No, no, no, that's not the question.

"You can't die."

Riber said hastily.

Of course, from Ewenna's point of view, his tone and expression were still cold.

In short, let's stabilize Ewenna first.

Now, how could Riber dare to choose or not to make a "rebuke"?

If he strikes again, something will really happen.

He couldn't do it, and said something similar to "go to death" to the girl in front of him who was in urgent need of counseling from a psychiatrist.

To be honest, this reality is different from GALGAME, it doesn't pay attention at all.

How could the heroine take the initiative to affect the judgment before making a choice...

"why?"

"..."

Also ask why?

That's all you want to jump off?

Riber slandered, his brain spinning rapidly.

There are many words used to persuade, such as "everyone's life is valuable, people have reasons to live, but no reason to die" and so on.However, now that he just met an arsonist who wanted to blow up half of the Nancheng District and pull Ling Chi ten times, it is really inappropriate to say that "everyone has value".

What about Evanna herself?What is the value of Evanna?

There must be some, but I can't think of it for a while, it's because Riber is really not familiar with her.

Finally, after thinking for a while, Riber bit the bullet and replied,

"Because I have been chasing you for a long time, and finally caught you like this."

"Yeah...."

After listening to Riber's reason, Ewenna seemed to be dazed for a moment, then buried her head again, and stuck it in Riber's arms,

"It's true. Not to mention that the majestic Earl has spent so much energy, Lysa still needs your help, and I was actually saved by you... Before I paid off all these, I seemed to have even I don’t even have the right to give up myself.”

After finishing speaking in a low voice like a whisper, Ewenna didn't say anything more.

This...

Did Evanna misinterpret something?

Riber felt weird, but let out a sigh of relief.

Now, it should be stable.

And, generally speaking, it probably doesn't increase the favorability...

With such thoughts in his mind turned around, Liber suddenly felt inexplicable disgust at his thoughts of "original plot" and "GALGAME" when he had nothing to do.

Obviously, these people are so vividly in reality, and he can still feel the warmth and softness from the girl in his arms at this moment. Why on earth does he always hold on to those things?

...

Maybe it's because of the strong light on Ewenna's body, reminding her that she is special, he is special, and this world is also very special.

Riber sighed silently in his heart.

...

...

night.

When Riber and Evanna flew back to the mansion, Chris was still a little confused at the scene to collect evidence, collect information, and engage in philosophical thinking about "Where am I? What am I going to do?"

Miss Secretary, dragged the bound "Blaster" back to the headquarters of the Knights.

At this moment, the headquarters of the Knights Order is like a large dining hall.There is an aroma of hot food everywhere.

In the head's room, the secretary found his eldest lady.

The armor on his body has already been taken off, but only a helmet is left on, and the leader Erhard, who keeps opening and closing the helmet mask like a child, is obviously in a good mood.

"You're back! Lin!"

Erhard smiled and reached out to greet his secretary, Lin.

"Listen to me, after arresting all the troublemakers just now, guess what? The fugitives were indeed captured from inside. And, not just one, but two!"

Erhard happily patted the table,

"You said that the Rona brothers, do they have brain problems? They are twins, not conjoined twins. Why do they hold hands when they come to the Knights to seek death? Ha, ha, ha~ Listen to the earl When I really went to arrest people, I thought for a moment that I was sick. Unexpectedly, the Rhone Brothers would be sicker than me. In this way, if it is true what the earl, uh, the earl said , if the serial killers are all sick, can we wait patiently for seven days to wipe out all the fugitives?"

After Erhard talked to himself to his heart's content, he realized that he had ignored Secretary Lin when he was excited.So she coughed, and after calming down a little, she asked Lin,

"How about you? I saw it before. There was a violent explosion in the sky in Nancheng District, and it rained fire. Is this a new technique or a new symbol of the 'Burst Flame Demon'? "

Lin silently tugged with her hand, and dragged the "Burst Flame Demon" behind her to her front.

Before, because the Blazing Demon was motionless, tied into a square shape, and covered with a raincoat, it roughly looked like luggage or something.

"The 'Blaze Demon' is here."

"Oh... huh?"

Erhard was stunned for a moment, took off his helmet, put it on the table, raised his arms, and asked again with a serious face,

"The madman who burned down the Grand Theater?"

"Yes. He's Stan the Blazer. I've confirmed his criminal brand."

Secretary Lynn continued,

"Because the timing was one step too late, Stan, the 'Burst Flame Demon', completely destroyed the big clock tower in the south of the city. The pyrotechnic box caused a rain of flames, and also triggered dozens of small fires. Fortunately, those flames were not real. It cannot be extinguished. So, according to my speculation, the damage will not be too serious. But how about it, we need to wait for a special investigation report. When I returned, I saw some members of the Knights, and they had already rushed over. However, Due to the wide range of damage, it is recommended that the headquarters also dispatch."

While Lin was reporting sternly, Erhard seemed to be wandering, playing with his fingers.

"one two Three..."

Erhard bent three fingers,

"Lin, you said that the Earl can find three fugitives from the foggy night in one day, and there are still five fugitives at large. After those two days, will all the fugitives from the foggy night be caught?"

"Miss, I think you are thinking too much."

"Is that so..."

Erhard said with some regret, and then his eyes lit up again,

"Lin, do you think the Earl knows that I will return to the city with the main force of the Knights today, so he specially came here to present these gifts for me?"

"Miss, I think this is already a level of dreaming."

"Tsk... it's good to have a dream once in a while."

Erhard smacked his lips, and then smiled happily,

"The appointment with the earl's butler is tomorrow, right? Really, I'm looking forward to that moment more and more. Speaking of which, is the earl really as majestic and handsome as the rumors? He has been far away before. It was also blocked when I got off the carriage, so I couldn't see clearly."

Facing Erhard's question, Lin recalled the scene when she met Ribel's eyes.

Therefore, Lin silently turned her face away, and responded to Erhard's question in a rare form of not saying a word.
