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

He is so partial to Alice because he just thinks they hit it off, not because the other party is the heroine!

"You kid is really..."

Seeing Alice's lack of cooperation, the old mother Fern grabbed her and began to chatter.At first, she was worried about the eyes of outsiders, that is, Riber and Sebastian.However, after the training is done, it seems that they don't care so much.Even, her husband was also involved, saying that the other party was not good at discipline and so on.

As a result, the scene in the restaurant and the style of painting mutated into the trivial daily life of the family that can be seen everywhere.

Although the family of three seems to be arguing, the atmosphere is quite warm in the eyes of outsiders.

Even Sebastian, who had been arguing with the host Ed before, stood quietly behind Riber now, looking at the three of them softly.

The older Sebastian felt the most.

In fact, Riber also wanted to blend into this atmosphere.

only...

The strong light on Alice's body pulled him back to reality again and again.

However, after shifting the focus of attention from Alice herself to its light, Liber suddenly discovered that although it is also the light of the protagonist, Alice is different from the light of other protagonists.

How to describe it?

It's just a little gray and dim, as if it hasn't been completely lit up.

After thinking for a while, Ribel, who already had sufficient experience in guessing riddles with Goldfinger, suddenly realized.

The reason why Alice's light is special is probably because of her age.

As the heroine, she really appeared in "The Witch Screams", at least six or seven years later, when the legal age of majority in the Xinmei Kingdom was 16 years old.

Otherwise, if you attack an underage witch, not only will the male protagonist in Alice's line be taken to prison, but the production team who produced this kind of game for all ages will probably also be interviewed for fun.

Unlike games, the heroine in reality will not just pop out of thin air.She will also have her own life and her own growth trajectory.

Therefore, Riber just happened to meet a heroine who was growing up.

...

Good guy, it's just to show off, this golden finger is still playing well.

On the other hand, now there is good news and bad news in front of Riber.

The good news is that the storyline for Alice hasn't arrived yet, so if her storyline doesn't start with childhood, she'll be a harmless presence for the next few years.

The bad news is that the various lines of "The Witch is Wailing" will be staggered due to time.

Riber's ideal scenario is that when he didn't know, all the original plot lines started at the same time, unfolded at the same time, and then ended without him knowing.

but now...

He always felt that, with the high probability that he would meet the protagonist, and this would allow him to identify the protagonist's golden finger at a glance.It will make him accidentally go through all the lines of the original plot.

No way?

Wouldn't it be so coincidental, would it?

Won't...

will not!

Do not!

Riber couldn't help screaming in his heart.

Volume II: Chapter 52, The Secret Base

In the end, Riber decided to buy the mansion that should have belonged to him as agreed before.

Sebastian, who was strongly opposed to letting Ed's family stay in the mansion, turned against him and persuaded Riber.

Riber could understand Sebastian's meaning, what kind of bad intentions could a family with such a lovely daughter have?

However, that lovely daughter is the future heroine...

Originally, this humble middle-aged couple seemed to be harmless to humans and animals.But if they are the heroine's parents, the meaning is different.

In addition to the daily works, the protagonist in other works, in order to show his specialness, let him have a story to tell.The average family is relatively unfortunate, or has a lot of background.

It doesn't mean that the protagonist will be special if he becomes the protagonist.Rather, from the very beginning, only special existences can become protagonists.

Just imagine, if a person who works out from [-] to [-], exercises every day, controls food and nutrition, and sleeps on time so as not to leave the stress until the next day, and the doctor says he is healthy, how can he become a protagonist?

Why not let him have a double who can plant bombs, plus a second identity of a serial killer?

so...

Recalling the original families of Meluetta and the maid, Liber always felt that Ed and Fern had a big "danger" written on their foreheads.

Moreover, Riber always felt that Sebastian was sent by heaven to punish him.

Previously, seeing that Riber could lead a satisfying life without being involved in any strange plots, Sebas strongly opposed it.But later, seeing the heroine coming, Ribel was going to be in the whirlpool of the plot again, Sebastian started to support...

Doesn't this old man also have a system or something?

All in all, Riber hasn't changed his mind.

Because, he felt that his ability to see the light of others was not a warning.

So, he can choose not to be involved in trouble.But again, he didn't want to distort his original will just because of this reason.

And, as the saying goes, don't bully young people, uh, young girls are poor.

To drive away Ed's family now, wouldn't it mean to make enemies with the future heroine?

He doesn't have the courage to wipe out the protagonist who may conflict with him like a real villain.

It's better to make the relationship more intimate now.

What's more, isn't Alice still grown up?He lived for at most half a year before leaving, so he might not be involved in the main plot.

In this way, after careful consideration and weighing the pros and cons.Riber, who was not greedy at all, signed a new contract with the two owners of the restaurant that night, and then lived in the third floor of the mansion.

...

...

the next day.

Early in the morning, Riber heard a rustle, someone fiddling with the door lock of the room.

Due to the various experiences since time travel, Riber, who had already become a frightened bird, woke up almost immediately.

But, thinking about it carefully, the environment he now lives in does not seem to be dangerous.

So, Riber didn't straighten up directly, but squinted his eyes and turned his head sideways to pretend to be asleep, to see who was trying to sneak into his room.

Soon, the door of the room was opened, and through the gap of the door, light was seen before anyone saw it.

Immediately, a small head poked in, looked around ghostly, then tiptoed into the room and closed the door.

It was Alice who came.

what's the situation?Elementary school students come to attack at night... er, attack yourself in the morning?

Although, because Alice will be ten years old in two months, the concept of beauty and ugliness should also be awakened, but his charm is not so great, right?

Riber continued to observe Alice's actions.

I saw that Alice sat on the chair next to the small table in the room and took some things from the drawer.Sitting sideways on the small chair again, he began to stare at Riber lying on the bed.

She looked at it for a while.

If it weren't for being able to see Alice's strong resentment from her expression and eyes, Riber would have thought that the other party was crazy.

"What are you looking at?"

Riber suddenly spoke.

"Alas!"

Alice was startled, and because she was sitting sideways on the chair, she turned over from the chair in a backward posture.

thump.

Alice, who fell to the ground, rolled around twice with her head in her arms, and then wailed "It hurts" with a mournful face.

Good guy, the little guy who came here to scare people scared himself enough.

"So, what's the matter in my room? The young lady."

Standing up straight from the bed, Riber looked at Alice who had recovered a lot, and asked while shaking his head slightly.

"me..."

Alice sat back in the little chair with teary eyes.

"This was originally my room..."

Alice pursed her mouth slightly, and said with a grievance.

What she said is true.

The room on the third floor of the mansion was originally Alice's room.Therefore, all the furniture in the room will appear a little miniature.

It wasn't that Riber wanted to snatch Alice's room, but that he had agreed with Ed that he and Sebas would want the third floor of the residence without knowing it.

The other rooms on the third floor used to be warehouses, which could not provide a living environment, so he could only live in this room now.

Although, last night, Ed's family also carried out a simple "moving work", but most of the things that originally belonged to Alice still remained in this room.

So, it's no wonder that Alice sneaked back to get some of her own things.

"Oh? Is that so?"

Riber pretended,

"Speaking of which, this room is really good. It's spacious and suitable. There are windows and balconies facing the sun, but they don't face the sun directly. The furniture in the room is also very delicate... Most importantly, it can also lead to the upstairs. The attic on the top. Although the attic is narrow and you can hardly even stretch your body, it is very suitable for use as a secret base..."

"Secret Base!"

Ribel's words with special meaning immediately caught Alice's attention.

"Probably there were people who thought the same as me before, and they already regarded it as their secret base? So, there were some dolls, glass beads and other toys scattered there, as well as a few bags of nut-type snacks. I have to say, those snacks The taste is really good, I can't stop once I eat it, so if I don't pay attention, I will eat it all."

"W-what! Did you eat it all?"

Immediately Alice jumped up from her chair, and climbed up the little attic above the ceiling of the room from the ladder set against the wall.

Not long after, with Alice's long sigh of relief, she returned to the room with a few bags of snacks.

Riber's previous words were naturally teasing Alice.How is it possible for him to eat some food of unknown origin at will.

While complaining about why Riber said such inexplicable nonsense, Alice, who took a bag of snacks again, sat back on the seat.

Putting the snacks in his mouth and chewing, Riber saw the original negative emotions on Alice's face, and the cloudy and sunny quickly changed.

It can only be said that even if it is the heroine, Alice is just an ordinary child after all.Just a bag of treats can lift your mood.

"Remember not to eat too much, it's time for breakfast soon."

"Uncle, you are so long-winded, you are actually talking about what mother always said."

Alice snorted softly and looked dissatisfied.

Big, uncle?

Riber, who was also a young man in his previous life, couldn't help being a little shocked when he heard this name.

Although, Riber's current age is almost twice that of Alice.But that's not the reason to call such a handsome and handsome boy an uncle, is it?

While Liber and Alice were talking briefly, Sebas who came to call the young master for dinner knocked on the door and pushed in.

Seeing Alice who was already in Riber's room, Sebastian had a puzzled look on his face.

"Master, Miss Alice is here..."

"She came to seek revenge."

Riber is serious.

"Xun Xun Xun Xun Xun Xun Xun?"

Sebastian's face also became serious.

Although, the opposite is just a little girl who seems powerless.However, no matter what, the young master must not be exposed to danger, not even a little bit!
