Chapter 178: Dekan's Mental Blow to Morion |
Although Dekan's operation was a brand-new attempt, Morion didn't think Dekan could casually make a few girls famous.
Especially when evaluated from a professional perspective.
Morion felt that the singing voices of the first two girls were not outstanding.
Presumably, Dekan had chosen two girls with excellent looks.
Then he arranged the most suitable performances for them.
Hoping to move the audience watching in the present world with this.
Morion, listening to the town broadcast in the Shadow World, could only appreciate the singing voices and couldn't see the images Dekan transmitted to the present world.
So he quickly realized the shortcoming of this girl group—
The two girls Dekan found lacked singing skills.
Morion knew that playing this song in the city-state didn't have much meaning.
The only possibility was that Dekan was certain Morion would still be in the city-state today to investigate.
So he played it for Morion's appreciation as well.
However.
After the solo parts of the first two girls were over.
The third girl's heavenly voice rang out.
Morion: “?????”
He froze on the spot.
Morion's expression went through several stages in an instant, becoming exceptionally complex.
This vocal tone, Morion was all too familiar with it!
Isn't this Flora?!
Morion exclaimed in his heart.
Flora was also tricked by Dekan into singing and dancing?
Morion could already imagine his naive and cute younger sister being casually fooled by Dekan.
But soon, Morion shook his head.
Although Dekan was from the Underworld, he didn't mess with good people.
Flora was so kind; Morion knew Dekan wouldn't bully her.
“Heh, you really pulled a fast one on me, but it doesn't affect my state of mind at all.”
Morion, now relieved, said with a sneer.
Then Morion continued to walk forward.
Except.
Morion frowned again after taking just two steps.
Because he felt that the lyrics of this song were a bit off.
The three girls Dekan had chosen had distinctly different styles.
In the latter half of the song, their use of "you" in their solo monologue lyrics was also different.
The Ice Snow Princess would use the honorific (you), which created a bit of distance, but also showed a desire to close that distance and get close to the person she admired.
Judith would directly call him "Darling," an undisguised offensive, wanting to move the other person with her passionate heart.
And Flora.
Her term of address for the person she admired was "Brother"!
The persona she played was like the high-level younger sister next door, wanting to use her own methods to control the person she admired.
「Brother~ I hate you the most! Liars have to swallow a thousand needles! ♫」
Along with this line from Flora.
Morion felt like he was about to completely break down.
“Dekan, you bastard, you did this on purpose, didn't you!”
Morion raised his hands and held his head.
He suspected that Dekan had definitely helped them write these lyrics, and they were a bit too targeted.
Ever since they were young, Flora had never said she hated him!
When he heard Flora say "I hate brother," he couldn't help but feel his heart twitch violently.
His spirit had suffered a critical hit.
“No...”
However, Morion thought about it carefully.
He found more and more things that were wrong.
His younger sister Flora's main persona in this song was the "younger sister" type.
Although all the lyrics addressed the person she admired as "Brother," saying bad things about him.
However.
Flora was singing the most malicious words with the sweetest tone!
This wasn't scolding at all, but acting spoiled!
Morion even noticed that some men on the street were already becoming somewhat obsessed with Flora's voice.
“She's calling me brother!”
“Ehehehe, I like her so much!”
It seemed that in just a short while, Flora had gained quite a few "brother fans" in the Shadow World.
Morion resisted the urge to beat all these people up and walked quickly.
What truly made him feel pain now was.
Flora was calling other people brother, acting spoiled like a younger sister!
Just thinking about such a thing, Morion felt a sharp pain in his chest.
Anything but that!
“Is this the Bishop of Agony, Mr. D?”
Morion covered his ears and quickened his pace again.
He couldn't listen to this song for another second.
...
By the time the shared carriage drove out of the city gate, it had long been overtaken by twilight.
The setting sun cast its final red rays, painting the world, which was merging with dusk, a shade of purple.
The shadow of the Lord's mansion's carriage stretched long, also mingling with the greatly distorted shadow of the city wall, creating a fantastical scene like a dramatic painting.
Dekan, Cornelia, and the Cat Teacher were already in the carriage the Lord had assigned to them.
They headed north, embarking on their journey.
“Hehehe, Morion, your Flora is truly amazing.”
Dekan listened to the fading song from the city-state and laughed unrestrainedly.
“Don't you think your line sounds like a villain's, meow...”
The Cat Teacher couldn't resist roasting Dekan to his face.
It felt that in the past, Dekan at least pretended, at least most of the time he acted like a person.
But now, Dekan didn't even bother to act.
With each challenge in the Shadow World, Dekan became more and more uninhibited.
These Shadow Worlds seemed to be gradually letting Dekan release his true nature.
Revealing the truest and freest him.
“I've asked the Lord to have this song played on a loop in this city-state every day from now on, hahaha.”
Dekan said, shaking his head with a laugh.
He couldn't control the corners of his mouth.
He seemed to be truly too happy.
He could already imagine Morion fleeing this city-state overnight.
In addition, Dekan planned to have Flora play the "younger sister" persona again in a new song in the future.
When the song became popular in the southern kingdoms, Morion would be able to hear it in the present world as well.
“You've been laughing since just now, meow. Cornelia couldn't help but laugh along because you were laughing so hard...”
The Cat Teacher felt that Cornelia was also going to be completely corrupted by Dekan now.
She was the rare conscience of this team.
Con...science?
It seemed she was the most ruthless one when she got her hands dirty!
Then, besides the Cat Teacher, Cloix was the only conscience left.
But the thought of Cloix joining them in the next Shadow World worried the Cat Teacher.
It was afraid that Cloix would also integrate perfectly into the team.
“Morion, don't blame me. This is to help Flora fulfill her own dream. How could I hold a grudge against you over a batch of 【Bandit Goblins】, hehehehe.”
Dekan was still laughing there.
Cornelia couldn't hold it in either.
“......”
The Cat Teacher turned its head away.
It was already starting to feel sorry for its good friend Morion.
“You two good brothers must have had eight lifetimes of bad luck to meet each other, meow...”
The Cat Teacher muttered in a small voice, then jumped into Cornelia's arms.
“Hopeless, hopeless, meow...”
Just like that, amidst the Cat Teacher's complaints.
The curtain fell perfectly on the Beautiful Mind Squad's third Shadow World challenge.
