When the protagonist of the otome game is unintentional strategy [system]

In the messy warehouse, Gloria quietly watched Kolusta move a large stack of books to pile up the steps, stepped on them, stretched her arms, and pushed the innermost bookcase with her fingertips. a book.

The book was pushed sideways, and the hard spine of the book seemed to have bumped against some mechanism. After a soft "da", the wall-mounted bookshelf facing Gloria was suddenly separated from it.

The silver-haired girl raised her eyebrows slightly, turned her head, and met Kolusta's smiling eyes. She jumped off the stack of books, and her ordinary low-heeled shoes made a "snap" sound, as if offering a treasure. Gloria said, "How is it?"

Gloria smiled, patted the head of the other party who came closer, and praised: "It's amazing."

Kolusta smiled and narrowed her eyes, obviously the other party only said such a flat compliment, but the tone was so sincere that she couldn't help but overflow with joy in her heart.

After appeasing the hero, Gloria looked up at the dark secret room, slightly frowned her slender eyebrows, and looked at Kolusta reproachfully, "You went in?"

"Yes, the mirror is inside." Kolusta said honestly.

"Reckless," Gloria said, "Do you know what this level of darkness represents in the eyes of a qualified magician?"

"Ah?" Kolusta showed an honestly surprised expression, looking like a country bumpkin, "What... stands for?"

Isn't this just an ordinary little black house? !

Seeing her like this, Gloria sighed helplessly, stretched out a slender finger and nodded her eyebrows fiercely, her tone was full of fear, but also a hint of hatred, "As long as you Some knowledge of magic, or taking some lessons on weekdays, you should know that when dark magic condenses, the surrounding environment will darken visible to the naked eye. The higher the concentration of magic elements, the greater the impact on the environment... ...Just like the room in front of us, if there are dark magic elements in it, then...it must be in a concentration that can kill instantly."

Gloria's ability to change the painting by the Swan Lake into another look is also related to this characteristic of dark magic.

"..."

Kolusta was dumbfounded, and so was the system.

"I'm going to give you a bad review!" Kolusta, who didn't know that he had almost passed through the gate of hell, said angrily, "You didn't remind me of such an important thing——"

The system calmed down and said, "Don't be impatient, temporary carrier...Aren't you all right? There is nothing wrong with my detection system."

"But you didn't tell me that dark magic still has this nature!"

"...If I remember correctly, you are the master of the plane and the core of the world," the system reminded, "but even the common sense of the world you belong to—do you want me to give you such a foreign object?"

Kolusta choked, feeling that she was really ashamed to be the heroine.

But after thinking about it, she regained her confidence and said angrily, "Isn't it because you helped me cheat in class! If it weren't for you, maybe I would have listened carefully in class!"

system:"……"

It's okay for you not to attend the class, it's really shameless.

Therefore, the system solemnly decided that in the next Potions class, it would never read the production process of the hemostatic potion to the temporary carrier's ear again.

Let her be hanged and beaten by the Potions teacher!

After Kolusta complained about the system, Gloria no longer had the high-spirited character. She curled her lips, and began to pull her hair again, and said listlessly: "This high-end How can I know common sense... I grew up in Seaside, where people with magical potential are very rare, so how can I know anything about dark magic?"

She lowered her head and complained, but she missed the momentary hesitation on Gloria's face.

Seaside town...

When Kolusta raised her head again, she had calmed down, and said tolerantly: "I will tell you slowly what you don't know. And now... thanks to your last time" Take the lead', so we can save a lot of trouble and go straight in."

Dark magic is indeed a terrifying and headache-inducing existence, but for a dark magician, no matter how high the concentration of dark elements is, they are actually equivalent to their nutrients.Although the process of absorbing is time-consuming and complicated, it is undoubtedly a gold medal for avoiding death compared to other people who have been harmed or eroded by dark magic.

But Gloria didn't seem to care about whether her magic power could grow. Her mood looked pretty good, and she didn't show the slightest bit of disappointment.

Kolusta blinked, secretly remembering this discovery in her heart.

But no matter what she thinks in her heart, her expression on the surface is always natural. The brown-haired girl strode towards the secret room with great interest, but at the third step, Gloria pulled her wrist from behind. Don't slow down.

When she turned her head, those dark blue eyes glared at her lightly, and said seriously: "Don't mess around, get behind me."

Kolusta let out an "oh", and took a few steps back obediently, standing a little behind Gloria.

However, even after she obeyed and did as she said, the slender fingertips on her wrist still didn't relax a bit.

The two walked into the secret room one after another. Gloria's black high-heeled shoes were like Kolusta's last time. As soon as they touched the floor of the secret room, blue lights lit up on both sides. The former revealed With a vigilant look, the latter patted the back of her hand and said optimistically: "It's okay, it's just a lighting thing."

Gloria slowly looked away, noncommittal, and led Kolusta to continue walking towards the high platform at the end of the passage.

"It really is a magic mirror."

Fingertips pressed the demon characters that outlined the frame like a pattern, and Gloria moved closer, muttering something as if translating.

She didn't shy away from Kolusta, but even though the latter was very curious, after thinking about it, he politely stepped aside and only heard a few vague words.

The person you want... blood... meet...

It doesn't sound human, I don't understand.

But she didn't understand, but Gloria obviously understood, the face that could be called peerless beauty suddenly became gloomy, and the snow-white face was illuminated by the lights like will-o'-the-wisps around, which made people feel a little scared for no reason.

Kolusta couldn't hold back, and took a step back.

Seemingly sensing the sudden change of mood of the girl waiting by the side, Gloria's short-lived anger quickly put away, she lowered her eyes, her silver eyelashes cast a long silhouette on her face, she was silent for a while, and then raised her head , beckoned to Kolusta, "Don't be afraid, come here."

Kolusta walked over timidly, like a little squirrel that has been robbed of an acorn, dazed and a little scared.

Gloria couldn't help softening her eyes again, and said softly, "Okay, don't be afraid... let's go, it's not suitable to stay here for long."

Hearing this, Kolusta turned his head to look at the magic mirror in surprise, and said unexpectedly, "You...you won't take it?"

Gloria was stunned for a moment, and then, as if she had realized something, she showed a playful smile and said deliberately: "Do I look like a thief?"

"Oh no--"

You look like an angel.Kolusta thought,

"This is the private property of the school, how could I move it rashly." Gloria shook her head with a smile, and said meaningfully, "Even if I want to move it...now is not the time."

"Ding, Gloria's favorability is +2."

...Alright, even if an angel wants to steal something, it can be forgiven.

Kolusta nodded without a stand, and followed Gloria slowly towards the door.

There are only a few ominous-looking lights on the dark passage for illumination. Kolusta walked slowly on this road, as if stepping on her unpredictable future.

She didn't know whether it was right or wrong to expose the magic mirror to Gloria.

She was just betting, betting on one person's change of heart, and the chip on the balance was... the future of the whole world.

She also didn't know if she could afford to lose such a heavy bet.

Just when she was contemplating that her hands were cold, Gloria who was walking in front of her stopped, and when Kolusta came to her side from behind as if sleepwalking, she stretched out her hand and grabbed the other's cold palm .

"Afraid?"

Kolusta was startled, as if awakened by the warmth from her fingertips, the bewilderment from just now remained in her golden eyes, and when her eyes met, Gloria saw everything. Transparent.

"You're so timid, how dare you come in alone last time?"

The cherry blossom-colored pale pink lips were slightly curved upwards, Gloria teased lightly, and while Kolusta was still in a daze, she held her hand, like an adult leading a toddler Slowly but gently, like a child in his childhood, he walked towards the warehouse with warm yellow lights not far away.

And half a step behind her, feeling the warmth from the palm of her hand, Kolusta's originally confused eyes gradually became firm.

—she will win.

Whether it's the world or the person in front of you.
