Mystery: The Stars Returner

Back home, Hastur talked to Butler Neil about the suburban manor.

"If you want to live in a suburban manor, you will need to hire at least ten more people, including maids, gardeners, and laborers..."

"Reduce the staff as much as possible, and other things will be arranged as you said."

"Approximately when will you go to live?"

"Can it be done within three days?"

"If the manor is large, three days will not be enough time to clean and decorate it."

Hastur didn't know how to answer this question. He had never been to that manor, but had only heard from the old butler that the manor was very big.

As for how big it would be, he didn't have a specific idea.

"Well, just look at the arrangements and try to come as early as possible."

Hastur decided to just be a hands-off shopkeeper and leave these troublesome matters to Butler Neil. According to him, this is the meaning of the butler's existence.

I looked at my pocket watch and saw it was almost seven o'clock.

Hastur rested for a while at home, then went out and got on the carriage to go to the Brave Man's Bar.

He needed to discuss this matter with Maric and the others. Under normal circumstances, Maric would not refuse, but there was no guarantee that they would not want to take the risk.

When they arrived at the Brave Bar, Kaspars walked up to Hastur before he even looked for it.

With a solemn expression, he led Hastur to a secluded corner. When no one was around, he spoke in a low voice: "Because of the fight some time ago, Maric may have been targeted and needs to hide for a while."

Hasta understood and said with a smile: "I have a large manor in the suburbs. If he is willing, he can come there as a guest."

“Really a great place to be.”

Kaspars whispered, his expression softened a lot, and he stopped talking to Hastur, pretending that he just happened to meet him, and turned around to leave.

Hastur waited for a while before leaving here and returned to the Brave Bar to order a cocktail called Blue Jellyfish.

Fortunately, it's not called Blue Enchantress, otherwise it would be really hard to pronounce.

Hastur sat in front of the bar, ordered another snack, and tasted it slowly with a cocktail.

It took another half an hour before Hastur left the Brave Bar in a carriage.

When he got home, he went straight to the study.

In order to cope with Miss Sharon's mysterious visit, he specially placed a mirror on the right side of the study. Directly in front of the mirror, he also placed a sofa, which was conducive to conversation between the two parties.

I believe Miss Sharon will understand what he means and will not wait until he is about to take a shower to enter the bathroom mirror.

Before Miss Sharon came, Hastur was sitting at the desk reading books.

Although he has now passed the need to play the role of a lawyer, studying the law will still help him advance in the sequence.

It was almost eleven o'clock when Miss Sharon's figure appeared in the study mirror.

She is still familiar with the gothic palace style long dress, and the little black hat embellished on her blond hair looks very cute.

"Sharon, this is my name."

The voice was very light and had no ups and downs, but Hastur liked this voice very much. He disliked noisy voices that kept chattering.

"Hasta Campbell, nice to meet Miss Sharon."

Hastur stood up and sat on the sofa, looking at Miss Sharon in the mirror, and also made a brief introduction.

"Maric really needs to hide for a while. The suburban manor is very nice."

"I'm not sure how long it will take to sort out the manor now, so I can't give you an accurate time."

"Maric can wait for you near the manor first."

Hastur nodded, gave an address to the manor, and asked: "Will Miss Sharon also go?"

"uncertain."

"Isn't it too dangerous to stay here alone?"

"No, they can't find me."

Miss Sharon is really confident in her own strength.

It should be that the demigods who were chasing them didn't dare to get close to Backlund. With only the Beyonders below the demigod level, it was indeed extremely difficult to find a resentful soul Extraordinary in the big city of Backlund.

Hastur had another brief chat with Miss Sharon, and then realized that there was no time left to talk.

Ms. Sharon's personality is not one that takes the initiative to chat. Even when she answers, she tries to be brief and restrained.

Normally it would be impossible for her to take the initiative to bring up the topic.

"Miss Sharon seems to like this style of clothes?" Hasta tried to find a topic.

"Yes, I like it."

"Have you considered changing your style of dressing?"

Sharon just stared at Hastur without answering. From her eyes, Hastur could tell that she was still a little interested in this matter.

"Miss Sharon, please wait a moment."

Hastur left the sofa, walked to the desk, took out a pen and paper, and began to draw.

He drew sketches of Lolita costumes, which were similar in design to the gothic court dresses Sharon favored.

The main reason is that their styles are somewhat different. Miss Sharon likes gothic palace dresses with black as the main color. It highlights an elegant and mysterious look with elements of horror and death, which is very consistent with the field of occultism.

The simple drawings drawn by Hasta are mainly blue and white, with lace and floral fabrics. It is a classic, elegant yet innocent and lovely style.

Because of the limitation of ink, Hastur specially marked the corresponding color next to it so that Miss Sharon could see it more clearly.

After finishing writing, Hastur looked at his masterpiece with satisfaction and imagined the scene of Miss Sharon wearing this blue and white Lolita costume with a base tone.

Miss Sharon should look very cute like that, right?

"..."

Sharon looked at the sketch of the Lolita costume, but didn't speak for a long time, and finally disappeared under Hasta's surprised eyes.

"Can't you accept a style that's too cute?"

Hasta regretted putting away this simple picture. He had not used pink color yet. If it were paired with cakes, candies, and small animals, the cuteness would definitely be off the charts.

Ahem, he felt that he didn't have any bad habits, but looking at Miss Sharon's exquisite doll-like appearance, he wanted to design several different styles of clothing for her.

"Maybe my painting was too ugly, which made Miss Sharon disgusted."

Hasta considers himself to be an average painter and not a professional.

Late at night, Hastur came to the Hall of Stars, skipping the star where the Djinn was, and staring at the star where the Mother Tree of Desire was.

I really want to test him by cracking a whip, otherwise I will feel a little uneasy if I have to drag him into the palace of stars in the future.

Well, just a whip.

It is better than dragging Him to the Palace of Stars and then guarding against Him.

There were definitely risks, but he couldn't always just have face-to-face meetings with the djinn.

Before that, Hastur first changed his form and appeared as the ruler of the Hall of Stars.

Then with a thought in his mind, he drove a chain of order to reach outside the star where the Mother Tree of Desire was. The chain bent up and was drawn down like thunder.
