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

Swan Lake.

The sudden strong wind blew Kolusta's long brown hair, the willow branches swayed, the lake water surged, and the flying hair covered her slightly dull amber eyes, and the clouds in the sky were overcast. Heavy, as if a sudden downpour of rain is about to fall at an unknown moment in an instant, it makes people feel so worried that they seem to have a little difficulty in breathing.

In fact, this is the discomfort caused by Musen's magic riot.

Often when magicians have difficulty stabilizing their emotions, or are affected by some irresistible resonance force, the magic power on them will overflow uncontrollably, and act within a certain range around them according to their own magic attributes. environment or person.

This gust of evil wind rising from the ground is the product of Musen's magic riot.

Kolusta frowned indistinctly.

If the magic power of the riot is allowed to continue to overflow for a long time, it is likely to cause great harm to the magician herself. She must find a way to stabilize Mu Sen's mood as soon as possible, otherwise... the consequences will be disastrous.

The black-haired boy on the opposite side stood in the wind. Even his plain clothes gave off an unfathomable aura at this moment.Those eyes that were as dark as the night looked at Kolusta, waiting for her answer persistently.

Even though he tried his best to conceal it, his eyes still leaked some violent and anxious mood swings caused by self-denial,

"...Tell me, Ruth," he urged in a low voice, the voice was so soft that it seemed to be blown away by the wind, but it still forced Kolusta to hear the confusion and fear that could not be ignored, "What am I going to do?" Is it the heresy they are talking about, is it the unclean who deserves to be bullied, is it the people in this land-everyone is punished by the demon clan?"

"..."

Kolusta did not answer.

She didn't know why Mu Sen suddenly believed so firmly that he was a monster... If only a few gossips from others could drive the future Demon King into such a collapsed state, then the Demon Race should have been eaten away by the Human Race long ago do. ——Instead of being at an absolute disadvantage, they can still tenaciously occupy the edge of the continent to recuperate, hide their strengths and bide their time, and have successfully resisted the occasional attacks of the Nobili Kingdom many times. They have stood firm for hundreds of years.

That being the case, what is the problem?

In the increasingly violent wind, Kolusta's nerves were tense, and he stared straight at Musen without blinking. The trees above his head shook unbearably, and a few green leaves that were blown down forcibly scratched his face. Before her eyes, it was like falling goose feathers and heavy snow, every trace of veins was clearly visible.

Veins... lines?

Kolusta took a breath, and suddenly raised her head to stare at the leaves hanging from the willow branches. The slender veins stretched towards the slightly jagged edges like strokes of words.

——In the blink of an eye, the big lock on the door of memory seemed to be snapped by a flash of lightning, and a few fragmentary pictures flashed through her mind.

In the secret room of the library, around the mirror reflecting the blue fire light, the pattern of the frame is like a vine crawling...

Beside the wall in the depths of the garden, the long-handled mirror with a simple and complicated style is held by the slender fingertips of the silver-haired girl. The lines on the back are tangled and messy, but there are still some inexplicable rhythms in it. The black-haired boy on the ground...

Sure enough, at that time, Mu Sen did not lose consciousness, but under the cover of Kolusta's back, he saw and understood the words of the demons on the mirror in Gloria's hand!

I'm afraid that the subsequent waking up was also because he couldn't hide his own instinctive action due to shock at that moment, so he had no choice but to follow the trend.

Kolusta sighed secretly.

It's really Cheng Ye-senpai, and Bai Ye-senpai.

Unexpectedly, after thousands of calculations, there was a mistake in this trivial detail.

"System," Kolusta stared closely at Musen, while quietly stretching out his finger to Swan Lake, in case he showed any signs of attack, and rushed to the system, "Didn't you say that you have the function of recording at any time?" What? When you rescued Musen in the garden, did you record the image of the mirror that Gloria took out before he woke up?"

In order to prevent some unexpected accidents from happening, jeopardizing the reputation and safety of the carrier, and causing damage to the world line process, the system is equipped with a real-time recording function, using the eyes of the carrier as the lens, which will be turned on at any time outside the judgment of the privacy protection mechanism , to record all the facts seen by the subject.

"...It's been a long time, and it will take some time to search. I will start the search immediately. During this period, please be sure to stabilize Mu Sen's mood."

"How long will it take?"

"No more than 10 minutes at most."

"No problem," Kolusta said, "As soon as you find it, help me translate the demonic characters on the frame—now, let me try to see how many things he should not know."

She casually pinned her curly hair that was about to be blown into a bird's nest behind her ears, her golden eyes were completely exposed because of this movement, Kolusta forced herself to suppress the double discomfort caused by the magic riot and the oppression of the demons, Gritting his teeth secretly, he took a few steps forward with difficulty, narrowing the distance between himself and Mu Sen.

The latter frowned slightly because of her actions, and seemed to hesitate for a while, but he didn't make any aggressive movements.

Seeing that he could still restrain himself even when he was emotionally unstable, Kolusta let go of half of his heart hanging in his throat, pursed his lips, and tried his best to put his voice in the most gentle state , Said softly: "I don't know why you suddenly have such a strange idea, Mu Sen. But I can tell you firmly - you must be a human race, there is no doubt about it."

"...You have no basis." Mu Sen stared closely at her eyes, the coldness in the eyes became more obvious, and the crazy emotions showed a little bit, dyeing the young handsome face with a hideous color, " Without evidence, it cannot be called 'beyond doubt'..."

Kolusta, who noticed that the other party seemed to be stimulated, frowned, interrupted his words with a stubborn look, and insisted: "You grew up in the land of the Nobili Kingdom since you were a child, but the demons are leaving You live on the edge of the continent thousands of miles away; black hair and black eyes are just a special gene, and every year in the kingdom, countless babies with the same hair color and eye color as yours are born on this world; in all history books In the records, all the monsters are cruel, bloodthirsty, and madmen who advocate killing, but before you met me, you were always a poor little boy who couldn't eat enough and was not tall..."

Mu Sen's facial muscles visibly twitched when he heard "he's not tall", and his eyes became extremely fierce in an instant—but the pressure lingering around him was slightly reduced, and he refused to stop for half a second The strong wind was finally willing to let go of the intensity, finally allowing Kolusta to breathe comfortably, and then continued to persuade:

"Think about it, is what I said true?...If that's the case, why do you have any reason to suspect that you are an 'undercover monster' lurking among the human race?"

The brown-haired girl seemed to think her analogy was very interesting. She shook her head and smiled absurdly, and said, "Just because of a few words of slander from others? Mu Sen, it's not that I want to laugh at something." , but if this is the case... Ha, 'Devil Undercover'? You must think too highly of yourself."

Although her mouth was boldly mocking, Kolusta didn't have a clue in her heart. Her fingertips tightly pinched the palm of her hand, and her eyes were watching the black-haired boy's reaction for a moment. Urge the water source to catch the opponent by surprise first.

However, Mu Sen didn't give her this chance to use violence. Confusion and bewilderment clearly appeared on the face of the fooled demon boy. Looking around, he stuttered and said, "But...but that day I clearly understood the words on the mirror—"

After that, he shut his mouth abruptly, as if awakening some bad memory, his face became gloomy again.

Kolusta's heart tightened, but he restrained himself from being impatient, and deliberately adjusted his expression to be realistically puzzled. His tone was also full of puzzlement, and he asked, "What mirror, what words?"

The system, which was busy looking through the videos, wanted to take the time to give her a thumbs up for her superb acting skills.

Mu Sen, an autistic child who doesn't have much contact with people, was even more quickly fooled. He looked at Kolusta's innocent appearance, and after struggling for a long time, he sighed deeply and pointed at her as if he had made up his mind. He whispered, "It's the adult who saved me with you last time...the mirror she took out at that time."

He paused for a while, closed his eyes, and then continued: "I vaguely saw messy patterns engraved on it, but for some reason, they were automatically translated into 'attempt' and 'joint' in my mind It means something like that... This matter has been kept in my heart until a long time later, when I checked in the library, I accidentally discovered it - the patterned writing I saw at that time, inferred from the appearance, belonged to the magic tribe's language."

At that moment, he thought of the scorn and insult he received when he was bullied, and the death penalty imposed on the "unclean" in history... Therefore, he couldn't help but fell into a strong self-denial and doubt .

...But now, the girl in front of him doesn't seem to be able to empathize with his panic and fright at the time.

"Oh—that vanity mirror? I don't think it's noticeable for girls to carry around mirrors like that," said Klusta blankly, "and... what's the writing on that mirror, what's there?" Is it a special place?"

Hearing this, Mu Sen was stunned for a moment, and said in a more dazed manner than Kolusta: "You...you also know that there are words on it?"

"Of course." Kolusta blinked and curled up her lips to show a smile. Unconsciously, she shamelessly pretended to be the Goddess of Deceit, and vowed, "That mirror I gave it to her! ——How about it, are my carving skills very good?"

Mu Sen stared at her in shock for a long while, then suddenly frowned again, his dark eyes narrowed slightly, his face quickly turned suspicious, and he asked directly: "Since it was sent by you?" ...Then tell me, what language did you use and what words were engraved on it?"

"..."

In the future, I can no longer say that this child is stupid. Look at this clever one, who grasps the key points with such precision that even he is willing to bow down.

The smile on the corners of Kolusta's lips froze slightly, and she tried hard to control her eyes not to shift because of guilty conscience. In order to delay the time, she pretended to be thinking hard, and said in a hesitant tone: "How long ago was that... ...What did I engrave? Anyway, I followed the lines engraved in the history books, and I thought it was pretty cool at the time—it should be the characters of the Demon Race."

While pretending, she yelled at the system in her heart: "Old department! Hurry up, hurry up, help the world—"

The suspicion in Musen's eyes in front of him was even heavier, and the wind that had just slowed down around him showed signs of recovery again. Kolusta swallowed secretly, and wiped a few drops of cold sweat from his forehead with the movement of brushing his hair. Quietly pray.

...Goddess of Light, Gloria blesses you, if only the writing on the mirror could be found in a history book——

"Found it, the temporary carrier."

A non-mechanical electronic sound sounded, and at the same time, a phantom image appeared in front of Kolusta. Although it was blurry due to the distance when recording, it can still be seen relatively clearly after the system repairs. The intricate patterns carved on it.

The always caring old department even attached the meaning of those demon characters next to the picture——

Looking at the subtitles in front of her, Kolusta opened her eyes wide in an instant. She stared blankly at the mirror, even raised her hand and rubbed her eyes. After staring intently for a long time, her golden eyes were still full of tears. unbelievable.

"My senior sister..."

She sighed silently in a daze:

"Where did you get the magic mirror... Are you kidding me?"
