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

The next day, the sky was bright, and wisps of sun-bathed wind blew in through the slightly open glass windows, through the gaps in the thick cloth curtains, and lifted the broken hair of the girl in the house hanging down her cheeks.

"I hope Wende can be just as reliable this time." Kolusta was wearing light blue home clothes, sitting on the edge of the bed, leaning back slightly, with one hand propped behind him, and the other holding the bottle of potion in front of his eyes. Wrinkled face, eyes melancholy said.

"I'm sorry, I can't help you judge," the system apologized, "I can only tell you... this potion does not exist in the list announced by the current pharmacy conference, including black potions. .”

"So you asked me to find Wende to ask for the detailed potion list of the Potion Conference a few days ago, just to update the database?" Kolusta was surprised and grateful, "As expected of my old family! You are so thoughtful! "

The system didn't speak immediately, but was silent for a while, then deliberately changed the topic a little embarrassedly, and urged: "It will be seven o'clock soon, you can drink the potion after you prepare."

Kolusta nodded, put the small bottle on the bedside, pulled the slippers and walked to the window, stretched out his hand to close the window that was staggered by a gap, then tightened the curtain, and returned to the soft window in a patta patta. Sitting cross-legged on the pillow, he pondered for a while, and then said nervously, "Should I open the door a little? What if Gloria can't come in? Wouldn't all previous efforts be for naught."

"...You are really dizzy, temporary carrier," the system reminded, "The fake sickness potion will only increase your body temperature, and will not cause you to have any other symptoms... You just need to pretend to be a little bit better and give it to her." Just open the door."

"Well, yes," Kolusta said as he tapped his head, dying, "I don't know why, but I'm always afraid that I'll really have a fever... After all, I haven't recovered from the cold yet."

"Well, even so," the system thought for a while, talking about her thoughts, and calmed down, "To be honest, I don't think she will not have the key to your bedroom... Besides, even if I guess wrong, she If you really can’t get in, you can still go to the administrator to get a spare key to open the door—he knows that you and Gloria know each other, and he probably wouldn’t dare to embarrass the dignified daughter of the Duke.”

Kolusta sighed and knew that she was thinking wildly. She suppressed the anxiety in her heart and said in a trance: "It makes sense."

She stared bitterly at the head of the bed for a while, stretched her arms to take the potion in her hand, and pulled out the cork from the small bottle.Because of this action, the pure blue liquid swayed slightly in the transparent bottle, exuding some sweet and bitter smell, which was exactly the feeling described in the information transmitted to her by the system.

"Seven past one." The system reported the time thoughtfully.

Kolusta propped her cheeks, still hesitated, bit her lower lip, and asked tentatively: "If something really happened——can my light magic suddenly awaken and save my life?"

"...According to the original world line, the light magic needs to be awakened under your strong intention of 'healing'," the system said speechlessly, "Why don't you try it on the cup you broke last night and wake yourself up first Drink it after the magical potential of the drink?"

"Isn't it just that breaking the glass in the middle of the night frightened you, as for holding grudges like this? ... And, I'm just talking casually." Kolusta muttered, with the luck of a textbook-like standard, "Wen De They've been checked, and there shouldn't be any problems."

After speaking, she frowned and looked at the potion in her hand for the last time, raised her hand and brought the bottle to her lips, closed her eyes, and drank it in one gulp.

"Le Kesi——Le Kesi... sister!"

Gloria stood still, and was finally willing to look back at her younger brother who was chasing after her, and said coldly, "What's the matter."

With a book in his hand, Wende ran to Gloria's side as if he had just finished class, hesitated for a moment, and tried his best to control his tone, neither too worried nor too indifferent, so as not to Provoking my sister's sensitive nerves, I tentatively said: "When I passed Miss Breviu's class today, I heard her friend...that girl named Doris was talking to a boy—— Just this morning, when she went to ask Miss Breviu to attend class as usual, she knocked on the door for a long time but there was no answer."

"..."

"The girl also said that she thought that the other party had come to the classroom first, but she was not found until the class started. I heard that the professor of the history class was furious about this and said, 'This damn Brevi Finally, Wu was not satisfied with just sleeping in the classroom' and other words, and threatened that she would not be able to graduate..."

Wende thought about the emotionless expression on her sister's face, and said cautiously: "She doesn't seem like the kind of student who would be absent from class for no reason... Could something be wrong?"

Gloria squinted her eyes, gave him a meaningful look, and stared at Wende until her back turned cold, and her face involuntarily tightened a little before she said coolly: "It's not like you guys colluded to do this." It's a game...so clumsy, it makes it difficult for me to judge the truth."

"..."

Wende closed his mouth and stopped talking.

That can't be helped, your classmate Xiaolu's IQ is only this.

However, as a bystander, he never deliberately asked Kolusta to optimize the process of the entire plan from the very beginning.After all, traps are a thing, sometimes the rougher it is, the more it makes smart people like Gloria who like to think too much, not sure whether it is true or not.

like now.

Seeing that he was silent, Gloria also had a very natural expression on her face, and gradually became suspicious in her heart.She frowned, gave her younger brother a warning look, and said: "If I find out that you two have teamed up to lie to me... then I will deal with you first, and then deal with her."

There were harsh words in her mouth, but she turned on her toes. She gave up her original plan to go to the self-study classroom, and turned to one of the passages leading to the outside of the teaching building.

Wende's steps froze, while he secretly sighed in his heart that he didn't know who he was walking in this muddy water for, but at the same time he had no choice but to follow Gloria's footsteps and rushed to the tower together.

...However, he still had some bad premonition in his heart.

According to the formula and efficacy description given by Kolusta, the false sickness potion can raise the body temperature of a person and present the appearance of a fever, but it does not really cause illness, nor does it cause any harm to the user's body Naturally, there will be no negative conditions such as weakness and unconsciousness that would occur during a real high fever.

As for what he said to Gloria just now, everything is true.

Kolusta's class had just finished history class, and Doris told Pascal at the door of the classroom that she had gone to Kolusta before class, but she did not get a response after knocking on the door.The accommodation conditions in the first-year tower building are not good, and the sound insulation is poor. She even listened to the door for a while, and made sure that the whole room was as silent as if no one was there. Then, full of doubts, she went alone classroom.

Is Kolusta really so dedicated?It's not necessary, even if she directly told Doris that she was sick and asked her friends to help her ask for leave, it would not have any impact on the plan.

Perhaps for verisimilitude?

Wende shook his head, not sure what the girl who always seemed out of tune was thinking, so he stopped guessing, but followed Gloria wholeheartedly, walked out of the teaching building, and continued to the tower and go.

Although her words were not forgiving, Gloria walked not at all slow, and could even be called hurried.There was no one on the road just after class, and when they came to the tower unimpeded all the way, the administrator took a look and saw that the Duke's daughter was coming again, so he simply closed his eyes, pretending that he didn't see it, and let it go. She grandly walked into the tower that "according to regulations, only first-year students can enter and exit at will".

Wende followed closely behind, and when Gloria stepped on the stairs to the girls' dormitory, he stopped decisively, hiding his anxiety, and said flatly: "I'll wait for you in the common room."

While speaking, his fingers involuntarily reached into his pocket, and gently held the long handle of the magic mirror.

Gloria gave an unavoidable "hmm", rolled up her slightly longer skirt, and walked towards Kolusta's bedroom with ease.

After turning a few corners and coming to the door, Gloria frowned slightly, raised a finger and knocked three times, and said in a low voice, "Ruth?... Open the door, it's me."

There was no sound from inside the door.

Gloria pondered for a while, and did not continue to knock on the door. Instead, she reached out and took out a small copper-yellow key from the hidden pocket of her skirt.She inserted the key into the lock, and with a twist of her wrist, there was a "click" sound from the lock, and it opened in response.

The silver-haired girl took out the key and walked into the room. The thick cloth curtains completely blocked the bright sunlight outside, and the bedroom was as dark as a rainy evening. Gloria blinked and got used to it for a few seconds With the light in the room, it was only now that a figure was curled up on the not-so-big-sized bed covered with a dark wood-colored quilt. The quilt was thrown aside, and his body was shaking slightly. Compared with the sheets, her figure was extremely petite and weak.

Gloria frowned, walked to the edge of the bed and sat down in three steps at a time, then stretched out her hand decisively to touch Kolusta's forehead.

... so hot.

The hair of the girl lying on her side was disheveled and dry, and she didn't shed a single drop of sweat even though her breath was hot from the heat.Gloria immediately pulled back the quilt on the side and covered her. The girl who was in a deep sleep let out a low snort, as if she was very uncomfortable, she stretched out her hand involuntarily, and gently pushed the thin sheet covering her body. quilt.

The strength is soft, like a newborn kitten, not to mention that Gloria's hand is still pressing the corner of the quilt, even if she loosens her strength, Kolusta may not be able to successfully lift the quilt away like before. .

Normally, Gloria would probably be so cute that she would miss a beat of her heart-but the current scene is really beyond her imagination.Kolusta couldn't use her strength, and she hadn't woken up after being entered into the room by someone else... Maybe it was because the fever was too severe, and she was completely unconscious.

"……how so."

Gloria's complexion was very ugly, almost so gloomy that water dripped out.

She thought it was a minor illness, and it was deliberately exaggerated by Kolusta to ask for her mercy, so as to restore the old relationship... But she didn't expect that the truth was so serious, the situation was so urgent that she couldn't wait for the slightest delay.

Without even bothering to sigh, she took out the magic mirror from the secret bag almost in a panic, stroked the pattern on the back of the mirror with her fingertips, and murmured a complex and awkward spell in a low voice.

As her voice fell, ripples gradually appeared on the mirror, and after a breath, Wende's face appeared on the mirror, her light-colored eyebrows were frowned, and her expression was serious and nervous: "What's wrong?"

"... Something happened to Kolusta," Gloria's voice tightened, and for the first time obvious anxiety and fear appeared on her usually calm face, "She has a constitution that is resistant to drugs, and potions may not be enough, Rachelna Madam was called by the palace to discuss the pharmacy meeting again...you hurry home and invite Mr. Di Tai—"

A drop of sweat slid down her smooth skin, soaking a few strands of silver hair, and with a "click", it fell into Wende's suddenly changed eyes in the mirror.

She gritted her teeth and said sharply: "Be sure to leave now, don't delay!"

The author has something to say: Lux: Latin for light.Transliterated as Le Kesi, the nickname given to Gloria by the Celentides family.
