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

After all, antipyretic potion is also a medical potion that is extremely difficult to manufacture. Even if Wende used the simplified manufacturing method taught by the professor, it still took nearly two hours to complete the brewing.After the professor praised the bottle of light red liquid medicine, and scolded the students in the class again, the bell that signified the end of get out of class rang dully, and finally interrupted his cynicism at that mean among the lips and teeth.

"...hope this wonderful demonstration can enlighten your stony mind a little, because in the practical class soon, I don't want to see anyone who is careless and wastes precious potion ingredients. Waste it."

The professor snorted coldly, stretched out his hand to pick up the textbooks on the desk, didn't bother to give half a look to the students below, only nodded friendly to Wende, stepped on the unfinished bell, and left without looking back into the dimly lit potions classroom.

Behind the console on one side of the podium, Wende was half a step behind because he was returning the configuration equipment. The silver-haired boy with skillful movements poured the cleaning agent into the crucible lightly, and the glass bottles and jars containing the materials were also taken by him. The slender fingers are arranged neatly and classified according to type and shape.After all the aftermath was over, he put on the black gloves that he had taken off and put in his pockets because of brewing the potion. He didn't even look at the students behind the tables and chairs who were hesitant to talk to them, and turned around. , then walked out the door.

When his figure disappeared behind the dark wooden door, while many students were still immersed in the regret of not grasping the opportunity, Kolusta immediately stood up, picked up his own textbook on the table, almost stepping on the warm Like De's footprints, he quietly followed the other party at a speed that was not too eye-catching but not slow.

Fortunately, most people know Wende's character well, so even if Kolusta was the first to walk out of the classroom, few students would think that she would have the courage to go to the Duke rashly. The heir of the family accosted.

The young master of the Celentdis family is not the same as his elder sister. If the latter is like a clear and gentle lake, then the former is like a piece of eternal ice, which is not only frighteningly cold, but also strong enough and The sharp edges and corners can easily hurt all strangers who try to approach him.

Therefore, even if Kolusta received courtesy from the Duke's daughter, she might not be able to get half of the benefits from her younger brother Wende.

According to common sense, this inference is indeed well-founded, but according to the experience of the past and the present, things often do not develop as people expect-these people who think they can break the world can't predict Well, not only could Klusta get benefits from Wende, but this benefit was offered to her by Wende himself.

……

Potions class was Kolusta's last class for the day. Obviously, the one in front of him had a clear purpose all the way, and Wende, who went straight to the outside of the teaching building, was similar. He was called by the professor to be a model because he had no class.

Walking through the garden covered with wisteria, passing through the tree-lined path, the spire of the first grade tower is looming in the distance, and the leaves above the head are rustling because of the warm wind blowing. This road is not cleaned by anyone. There are piles of fallen leaves under their feet. Under normal circumstances, these fastidious nobles would rather walk a few hundred meters on the spacious stone road than dirty their shoes in order to save a few minutes of innocence. ...

Just when Kolusta wondered whether Wende was in a hurry and was in a hurry, the young noble in front of him in a pure black uniform suddenly stopped in his tracks, and the sole of the high-quality shoe happened to crush a dead leaf. With a soft "click" sound, he turned around. There was no expression on his handsome face. Those eyes, which were very similar to Gloria, met the golden eyes of the girl not far away. His eyebrows raised slightly, and he said coldly: "What are you doing with me?"

Kolusta stared into his eyes for a while, relieved his tense body, thought about it, and decided to be more cautious, so he opened his eyes with a smile and said nonsense: "It just happens to be on the same road. , sir—I'm going back to the tower too."

"...Really?" Hearing this nonsense, Wende showed a half-smile expression, his silver eyelashes trembled slightly, and lowered to cover the thoughts in the dark blue eyes, "so , according to what you mean, there is nothing to come to me, right?"

That must be impossible, you are my appointed tool man.

Kolusta's intention of "following" this time was just to find an opportunity to test Wende, to see if he would be interested in a potion formula that had never appeared on the Nobili continent, but he did not expect that the other party would take the initiative to pose He had an attitude of "I'll give you 2 minutes to ask me if you need anything", and even picked a clean place to facilitate the two of them plotting...

Well, it seems that in this period of time, the siblings of the Celentdis family still have a good relationship.

"Sure enough, I can't hide anything from you, Mr. Wende."

After figuring out the key points, Kolusta was unwilling to continue to put on a show in front of smart people. The smirk she deliberately put on just now was gradually restrained, and her whole posture became more solemn.

Her original plan was quite academic, that is, in exchange for "a finished potion", she would tell Wende all the formula information transmitted to her by the system, and did not reveal to the other party that she planned to use it to make a bitter plan. , Routine his sister's intentions.

However, the plan couldn't keep up with the changes. Wende, who didn't know that there was such a thing as a "fake sickness potion", was willing to actively express his willingness to cooperate. Obviously, there was only one reason-that is, he already knew that Kelusta was killed by Kolusta. Werther's plan made Gloria angry.

Therefore, a simple potion transaction is no longer feasible. Now Kolusta can only be sincere and tell Wende that he came to him for help in order to coax Gloria well, so that the plan can go ahead.

"Senior sister and I are angry, you must have heard about it," Klusta sighed under Wende's gaze, and it was rare to let go of the scheming that was tense all the time. With a troubled look on his face, he said worriedly, "Although you may not be willing to believe it... But what senior sister saw that day, there is really something else hidden."

"If I don't believe it, do you think you'll still have the chance to stand here and say this to me?" Wende twitched the corners of his lips lightly, but his tone was full of impoliteness, and his words were extremely mean, like the second person Potions Professor.

Kolusta knew that she wanted something from others, but she didn't care too much about Wende's attitude. She chose to ignore this sentence, smiled embarrassedly, and then continued: "Would you like Believe me, I'm very grateful...but senior sister still doesn't want to see me these days, maybe she's still angry?"

Wende saw that her posture was lowered, but she was embarrassed to continue to maintain the sharp look just now - after all, if there is no accident, Kolusta is very likely to be his sister's future marriage partner, if you are too rude to her , the one who will suffer in the future will still be herself—the silver-haired boy nodded, his expression softened a little, and he explained to her: "Gloria also knows that someone is behind it...but what she saw with her own eyes that day is also true. So I don't want to see you for a long time, but I also want to teach you a lesson."

After finishing speaking, Wende paused for a moment, looked into the innocent and bright eyes of the girl in front of him, hesitated for a moment, and added: "Don't be jealous of her because of this, after a while, she will naturally I will come to you to restore the old one."

However, this cannot wait.

Now Gloria's favorability is maintained at a relatively dangerous value. If the relationship between the two parties is allowed to enter a period of indifference, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no changes.

The relationship with the Duke's daughter is not only related to whether she can successfully clear the true ending, but also related to Kolusta's own love affairs - such an important decision point, she does not want to take any risk.

Besides, it's just a bitter trick, it's not too troublesome, it won't cause any real harm to the body, and it can quickly break the ice between the two of them.

"I believe that after the senior sister calms down, she is still willing to continue to communicate with me," Kolusta smiled, lowered her eyes, and said slowly, "But...don't be afraid of Mr. Wende's jokes, there is no senior sister these days, I often feel that I can’t get motivated to do anything. I can’t eat, I can’t sleep well, and I’m restless all day long during class, always thinking about her...”

This is true.

Missions aside, this is how Klusta really feels.In the past, they had to meet at least once every three days, during which there were frequent correspondences, but now... even if the brown-haired girl ran to Gloria, the latter still had the ability to pretend not to see it.

As if a running machine suddenly lost a certain part, it seemed to be still working normally, but in fact it was already in a damaged state.

And, the longer the delay in this situation, the less likely the machine will be repaired.

"..."

Wende remained silent.

In his opinion, Gloria is in a similar state.

When she returned home from the last week off, the duke's daughter who was in a bad mood not only didn't give her face, she returned all the magic tulips sent by the Charles family as a token of apology, and she didn't even take the herbal medicine quiz last time. Full marks... so that Professor Lysa came to ask him worriedly, is there something wrong with Gloria recently? She even knows the cultivation conditions of dragon tongue flowers that she only needs to learn in the third grade, but she is alone in the wrong place. The description of the shape of the shellfish after ripening.

Wen De could only silently comfort this overly delicate female professor who was an old friend with his father, while distractedly thinking: Why could it be wrong... Isn't it because when the bagels are fully mature, they grow Is it like a small golden shell?

I deliberately wrote wrong □□ because of a quarrel with my sweetheart... You are not childish, my sis.

But the complaints are all complaints. To be honest, Wende has no interest in getting involved in Gloria's love affair... If it weren't for the fact that she seemed to have been hit hard, Wende would not have deliberately pushed the boat along. , so that Kolusta can have a chance to have a secret talk with himself.

"So, what's your plan?" Wende glanced at Kolusta standing in front of him, frowned slightly, and said frankly, "If necessary, I can try my best to cooperate with you."

Kolusta, who didn't expect the other party to be so active, opened her eyes wide in surprise, and said with a sincere surprise: "If you want, that would be great!"

She looked around, pursed her lips, and said in a low voice: "But this is not a place to talk... Please Mr. Wende and I move to the pudding workshop, the afternoon tea lounge there is clean enough—"

"Besides," the brown-haired girl smiled shyly, and said gently, "By the way, let me buy some new products for you... as a non-respectful thank you gift."

Wende carried a bunch of puddings of different flavors, and silently knocked on the carved wooden door of Gloria's bedroom.

Not long after, the owner of the room opened the door and found that it was him who had come to visit. The expressionless expression on that exquisite face immediately turned into disgust, and the hand that closed the door again was about to move... In order not to make a futile trip, Wen De promptly Stretching out his hand, he handed the colorful packaging bag to Gloria's face, and said dryly, "It's for you."

"Are you out of your mind?" Gloria didn't answer, instead she folded her hands, squinted her eyes and looked at him, and said meanly, "If I remember correctly, which young master didn't pick up after five years old? Declare that you'll never eat sweets again that little girls like?"

"..." Wende said lightly, "If you want it, I'll take it if you don't want it."

"No." Gloria said with a sneer, "I'm not sure if there are any ingredients in it, future master of potions."

... Gloria, who has been soaked in vinegar for several days, is so difficult to deal with.

This is also one of the important reasons why Wende is willing to take the initiative to cooperate with Kolusta, after all, he is the direct victim.

"You really don't want it?"

Wende raised his eyebrows, shaking the paper bag in his hand casually, the tightly packed pudding rolled and collided inside, making a soft muffled sound representing an extremely large number, and pointed out: "A certain little girl is digging for these things. The pocket money is empty...you don’t need to forget it, I will take it back to the pudding workshop and return it, and I can earn some gold coins back.”

After finishing speaking, Wende made a gesture and turned around to leave—but as expected, just as he took a step, the silver-haired woman grabbed his collar mercilessly and pulled him back severely.

Wen De turned back obediently, raised his eyebrows at the eyes of his elder sister who couldn't tell what emotion was hidden, and handed the pudding to her again.

Gloria didn't say any harsh words this time. She lowered her eyes and took the paper bags full of desserts. She could easily see the different kinds of puddings and cakes that were so full that they were almost overflowing. Silence After a while, he said a little unhappy, "Did she find you?"

"I met you after Potions class, and she insisted that I give these things to you," Wende said cautiously, "We only went to the pudding workshop together...don't blame me for this." leak."

In order to avoid dancing in the minefield, he cleverly concealed the fact that Klusta gave him a bag of candy as a thank you gift.

Anyway, compared to the several big bags for Gloria, those beggar-like candies are nothing worth mentioning...

Wende, who received the "thank you gift" at that time, had nothing to say to the thick-skinned Kolusta: Although he doesn't eat sweets, this is a bit too discriminatory.

Gloria glanced at her brother.

With a slightly improved mood, she is not as used to looking for trouble as before, so after looking at the unlucky boy Wende who ran so far to deliver the goods for a while, she began to order to evict customers in a calm tone: "Then, thank you for your hard work." This trip... I still need to organize and store these things properly, so I won’t send them off to you, so be careful on the way back—good night, Wentas.”

After finishing speaking, she raised the corners of her lips and smiled perfunctorily, turned slightly sideways, and mercilessly threw the carved wooden door in front of Wende, making a loud "bang".

"..."

He didn't even step in the door.

The worst tool man in history, it's a real hammer.

No matter how upset Wende outside the door is, Gloria inside the house will not give half of her attention to the unlucky brother. She carried the bag of desserts to the living room, and stretched out her thin white hands to place them one by one on the table. superior.

The pink rose pudding, the chocolate sponge cake with a sweet aroma that cannot be blocked by the packaging box, the rice pudding with thick custard syrup, and a large bag of lemon honey candies that are as golden as the color of Kolusta's eyes...

The silver-haired girl smiled slightly, her eyebrows were gentle, she opened a candy and put it in her mouth, the refreshing lemon fragrance and sweet honey flavor lingered on the tip of her tongue immediately, sweet and sour, just like her mood at the moment.

Gloria leaned on a soft armchair with sugar in her mouth, her dark blue eyes became more gloomy for some reason, like a pair of gorgeous gemstones immersed in water, no matter how difficult it is to be seen by others. Look away.

"—I should let you have a long memory," she said suddenly after a while, her eyes were gentle, as if Kolusta stretched out her hand in front of her, she tapped lightly in the void, and said calmly: " My little shell, I should always learn to be more difficult... It's best to make it impossible for anyone but me to pick you up, that's right."
