Mystery: The Stars Returner

Backlund, the home of Earl Hall.

The sun's rays gradually setting in the west were projected from the other end of the mountain, shrouding the beech trees, glowing with golden color, like a piece of gold waving in front of the eyes.

Susie, who had her books confiscated and was lying on the grass taking a nap out of boredom, glanced at Audrey, who occasionally looked at her asking for help.

It knows what Audrey wants to do now. Monday afternoon is an extremely mysterious day for Audrey. She always makes excuses to hide alone in her room or the bathroom.

Unfortunately, today, Mr. Hastur came, and the two of them were chatting happily. The time gradually pointed to three o'clock in the afternoon. Audrey wanted to get up and leave in the middle of the day, heading to the bathroom, but she felt that it would take such a long time to dry Hastur. Mr. Ta's behavior was too rude, and she didn't want to pretend to faint in front of Mr. Hastur, so she could only ask for her help.

It did not start to act immediately, but still lay lazily on the grass. It was not until Audrey gave it a promise to return the collected books that it lazily turned over and stood up.

It walked towards Hastur's feet with elegant steps, raised its hind legs, and prepared to pour a little less elegant liquid on Hastur's feet.

This behavior is very rude, especially for him, but it is a very effective method.

Once successful, Mr. Hasta will definitely leave and end today's talks.

Originally, it was intended to pretend that it accidentally bumped the corner of the table, causing the table to tilt, so that the cup of hot tea would fall on Mr. Hastur's clothes.

But it knew very well that with Mr. Hastur's ability, it would be able to avoid such a small accident.

Audrey's cheeks were red. She knew Susie's intention, but she did not remind Mr. Hastur. Such willful behavior made her feel that her conscience was being slightly condemned.

But what disappointed Susie and Audrey was that Hasta stood up from his position and took two steps in Audrey's direction.

He reached out and caressed Audrey's head, brushing away the yellowed leaves that had fallen from her hairpin at some point.

This move was a bit intimate, and Audrey just sat quietly, her face blushing a little more, and she let Hastur's fingers gently brush her ears.

"Oh, Susie, how could you be so rude in front of Mr. Hastur?"

When Hastur looked away and looked at the golden pool of water under his seat, Audrey spoke first, scolded Susie, and asked the maid to take Susie down.

"Mr. Hastur, let's leave here first."

"Well, okay." Hasta nodded and looked at Susie who lowered her head and twitched her ears. "Susie, I believe you didn't mean it. It was just an accident, wasn't it?"

Susie's head hung lower, and she knew that Mr. Hastur had noticed that her rude behavior just now was intentional.

"Isn't Mr. Hastur busy this afternoon?"

"I'm not busy, I just want to come and talk to you more."

The corners of Audrey's mouth raised slightly, but when she thought that the time was almost approaching the start of the tarot meeting, she began to feel secretly anxious.

Although Mr. Fool said that if you happen to encounter something, you can postpone your response and go to Gray Mist to attend the Tarot Club later.

Miss Justice has always been a role model in the Tarot Club. Being late is a very rude thing for her.

But she couldn't think of any good way to refuse Mr. Hastur.

Alas, if that doesn't work, I can only choose between pretending to go to the bathroom or deliberately wetting my clothes.

In fact, Susie should have bumped into the corner of the table on her side just now, and she would not dodge the cup of hot tea.

Although this seems a bit embarrassing, it can at least buy yourself time to participate in the Tarot Club.

"The good times always fly by very quickly. It should be three o'clock now, right?"

As the two were walking along the path, Hastur suddenly spoke, and the maid accompanying them reported the accurate time, which was only a quarter of an hour before three o'clock.

There was almost no time... Audrey rarely felt anxious in her heart.

"Audrey, are you still thinking about what happened to Susie just now?"

"Uh, yes, it was so rude just now. It used to be very well-behaved."

"We should allow it to make a few mistakes."

Mr. Hastur, I also want to make some mistakes in moderation. You should also understand my difficulties, right?

Audrey thought quietly in her heart.

Hasta looked at Audrey's inadvertent little expression with great interest. Seeing that she was in trouble, he couldn't bear to tease her any more.

"I'm feeling a little tired. Can I rest here for a while?"

"Of course." Audrey's eyes lit up instantly, twinkling.

Maybe she felt that her words contained too obvious a pleasant tone, so Audrey added with a slightly red cheek: "I'm a little tired too."

Soon, under the leadership of the maid, Audrey returned to her room, while Hastur went to the guest room.

Countess Hall had already prepared a special guest room for him at home.

As soon as she returned to her room, Audrey quickly made an excuse and asked the maids to guard the door. She glanced at the clock on the wall. Fortunately, the hands just pointed to three o'clock.

She had just laid down on the bed, without even pulling up the quilt, when she heard the familiar voice of Mr. Fool.

"Mr. Fool, good afternoon~"

Today's Miss Justice is also so perfect.

Audrey glanced at everyone in the Tarot Club with a guilty conscience. She almost delayed the Tarot Club because of her love just now.

Fortunately, everything was resolved perfectly.

……

After finishing this week's Tarot session, Audrey hummed a little tune, got up from the bed, turned in a beautiful circle in front of the full-length mirror, and then opened the door, but did not see Susie. The maids said, Susie is in Mr. Hastur's room.

She thought for a while, then went to the kitchen to order a dessert that Mr. Hastur liked better, and then went to Mr. Hastur's room.

Before she opened the door and went in, she heard Mr. Hastur and Susie talking quietly.

"Oh, Susie, we should be considerate of Audrey. Everyone should have their own thoughts. This is a legal right."

"Wang."

"Do you want to say whether the promise Audrey just made to you can be fulfilled?"

"Wang."

"I think so. She won't be so harsh on you, even if you really messed up just now."

Hearing this, Audrey's face turned red, she almost covered her face with her hands, and turned around to leave.

What he had instructed Susie to do was actually known to Mr. Hastur. How should he face him?

At least not today.

Audrey glanced at the desserts that had been served, took a few deep breaths, and then asked the maid to knock on the door and enter.

The maid put down the desserts and left. Susie also showed an expression that I understood very well, voluntarily left the room, and even urged the maids to close the door.
