Standing in front of that gorgeous door again, I couldn't help but think of the scene last time.

At that time, she was ignorant and happy, fully looking forward to meeting her mother.

At this time, she was ready to face everything.

"That's it, Diluc."

"I have to walk the rest of the way by myself."

"I'll stay at the door if..."

"No need," the girl interrupted Diluc, "other than me, you have no reason to get involved with the Fools."

The girl raised a smile at Diluc: "So, it is enough to send it here."

The girl's tone was not strong, but Diluc knew that no one could change her decision now.

"..."

The moment before the girl opened the door, Diluc spoke softly, as if saying goodbye or mumbling to himself:

"Goodbye."

The girl paused for a moment, as if she didn't understand the emotion behind this sentence, and replied with a smile:

"See you soon."

Diluc walked out of the Goethe Hotel and felt the morning sun was a bit dazzling.

At the door of the hotel, there was Albedo who had obviously been waiting for a while.

"She went in?"

Diluc gave a short "hmm" and looked at Albedo as if he had some questions.

"Me? She probably got up early on purpose to avoid me today."

Abedo saw Diluc's doubts at a glance:

"Actually, I watched her go out."

"Come here, it's not that I don't worry about you, it's just..."

Abedo stopped.

I couldn't say the words "reluctantly", so I had to smile and shake my head.

He was so unreasonable that he was not even willing to give him a formal farewell.

The girl opened the door and saw that the "rich man" had been waiting for him for a long time.

"I knew you would come to me, Miss."

The girl calmly sat down on the sofa opposite the "rich man" and pushed the tea cup aside on the coffee table:

"So, is it convenient for me to see it?"

"It?" All the emotions of the "rich man" were covered by his narrowed eyes, "Who does the lady want to see?"

His half-closed eyes opened, and the amusement inside them was undisguised:

"That fake?"

"Your Excellency, 'Rich Man', I think it is not a fake."

The girl's hands were folded in her lap:

"How should I describe it? Is it a chess piece that you brought me into, or -"

"The ambition of the 'rich man'?"

The "rich man" raised his eyebrows.

The last time she sat here - not too long ago - she was dressed up and her aura was beginning to show, but it was not as strong as today in a white dress that could not be ignored.

"It's amazing how much Miss has grown."

The "rich man" pushed his glasses up the bridge of his nose, and when he put his hands down, his eyes narrowed into a hypocritical arc:

"Why don't we talk about cooperation first? After the negotiation is completed, I will naturally let the lady see it."

If it were in the past, girls would probably hate this kind of simple interest relationship.

But now, what she is thinking about is——

Fortunately, everything still needs to be discussed.

"Your Excellency, 'Rich Man', what do you need me to do?"

The "rich man" laughed:

"Don't be anxious, miss. Why don't we talk first--"

"What do you want?"

Compared with Diluc, the "rich man" looks like a businessman through and through.

Know what the girl wants, use it as a base price, and go beyond what you want.

And he didn't think about hiding his thoughts, but put on a "you want something from me" look like sitting on the ground and raising the price.

The girl naturally knew that it was almost impossible for her to get an advantage from such a cunning businessman, so she did not plan to deal with him too much:

"First, I need an opportunity to meet the Queen."

"Second, please protect my personal freedom during the solstice."

"Third, give it freedom."

"Gone?"

The "rich man" clasped his hands and turned his head slightly, revealing the sickly white skin under his collar.

"Gone."

The girl raised her chin towards the "rich man":

"What about you? What do you, or rather the 'Doctor' who has never been masked, want from me?"

The "rich man" chuckled with unknown meaning, low, hoarse, suppressed in his throat.

"You're very smart, miss."

"If you were not so hostile to me, then I would really like to develop a relationship with you other than a partnership."

"Really? I don't feel honored." The girl lowered her eyes, "Please don't say anything irrelevant."

The "rich man" obviously didn't care about the girl's indifference. Facing the girl's hostile tone, he just raised his eyebrows indifferently and pushed up his glasses that had not fallen off out of habit:

"Did I take you to see that thing inside?"

"Have you tried to go inside?"

The girl saw "death".

It sat quietly and silently on the bed curtain.

When it heard the sound of opening the door at first, it didn't respond until the "rich man" opened the bed curtain with one hand. It suddenly raised its head as if it sensed something, and saw the girl's appearance clearly. Her expression came alive in an instant, and her body I was eager to try, but failed to take a step.

The girl looked at "Death", and naturally saw the dilemma that she wanted to get closer but was unable to do so, and turned to look at the "rich man".

The "rich man" noticed the girl's gaze, so he tilted his head and smiled:

"Sorry, its body is still being repaired."

"What do you mean, its body is broken?"

The "rich man" chuckled, with a hint of mockery in his tone:

"Miss, after all, not every doll has a perfect body like you."

"The last time it saw you, its energy fluctuated too much and its body couldn't bear it anymore."

This is the first time the girl has heard the saying that "the body of a doll cannot withstand energy". When she spoke again, she became a little hesitant:

"What will happen if its body cannot bear it at all?"

"It will probably get out of control. Don't worry, miss, the worst thing is that this body will be useless and you can just replace it with another one."

The girl looked into the watery eyes of "Death" and looked away with some unbearability:

"So, what do you need me to do?"

"As you can see, 'Doctor' cannot create a perfect body like yours."

The girl felt something in her heart:

"He wants to study—my body?"

The "rich man" nodded:

"I think the lady is used to this and won't mind."

"it is good."

Seemingly surprised by the girl's straightforwardness, the "rich man" glanced at the girl, but received the girl's urging:

"This is the request of the 'Doctor', but what about the request of the 'Rich Man'?"

"You really don't look like someone who would use your own interests to make a wedding dress for others."

what.

Completely seen through.

The "rich man" is not annoyed.

When doing business with smart people, it’s always more efficient to open up the skylight and speak frankly.

"My needs are not worth mentioning, miss."

The "rich man" turned his whole body towards the girl, and his lenses reflected white light under the lamp, making it difficult to see his expression clearly:

"Since you are all-knowing and all-powerful, then it's probably not a problem for you to give me some guidance, right?"
