In St. Margaret's Academy, where the dazzling afternoon sun shone, Victoria sat in a comfortable pavilion with her hands on a round table that was too high for her petite frame. She sat on a round chair and lazily stretched her limbs. Victoria's beautiful golden hair was scattered on the table, dancing like untied silk threads, or like a golden waterfall flowing on the ground.
There was something else on the table besides Victoria's tiny head and slender hands-an empty white porcelain plate, and silver cutlery that size too big for her.
"I'm hungry…"
Victoria muttered in a sad and small voice.
"Coo ~~
”
Victoria's stomach growled in her fluffy dress. Victoria could no longer move, lying on the table like a lazy kitten. However, the faint sound from afar made her small and fair ears perk up.
"Pa da, pa da…"
It was the sound of footsteps. They were approaching the pavilion on a deserted path. Victoria was expressionless, like a peaceful face of an ancient creature. Only her lips seemed to be…vaguely open.
"…Add!"
In the distance, he could hear the sound of Victoria calling out to him. The sound of the call also approached along with the sound of footsteps. Victoria smiled happily and planned to get up.
"Gulp ~~
”
Her stomach growled again.
Ye Yuehuan's voice gradually approached.
"Victoria!"
"That bad guy is finally back.”
"I brought back your favorite thing!”
" Hmph, then I'll forgive you for being late…"
Victoria got up from the table and sat in front of the empty white plate. She held a knife in her right hand and a fork in her left hand. She glanced at Night Moon who was running over.
Her expression…seemed to be surprised as she opened her eyes, and then…she seemed to be angry.
Ye Yuehuan, who was empty-handed, rushed into the pavilion with the hem of her kimono swaying. She shouted like a child,"
"You brought back your favorite event!”
“……”
Victoria was silent, staring at Night Moon.
"It hurts! It hurts so much! Stop it, Victoria! I thought you would be very happy! Besides, it's a headache for everyone..."
"Where's the cake? Where's Shu Fulei? Where are the biscuits? Where's the jam? What's going on? What's going on, Huan? I, want, something, sweet…"
Little Victoria was stabbed in the back by the knife and fork, and Night Moon was running around the pavilion. Victoria's large green eyes were filled with tears as she stared at Ye Yuehuan, who had returned without buying any desserts.
"Woo…"
"What, what's wrong?"
"I, I was betrayed…"
"This is too exaggerated! Hey, I heard something happened and wanted to tell you, so I came back in a hurry…and…look?”
Ye Yuehuan took out pieces of cake from his pocket.
(The system is a scammer. It actually took advantage of the situation. One Summoning Coin can only be exchanged for a piece of cake. This time, it was scammed.)）
Looking at his 7 Summoning Coins, Night Moon could only grieve alone.
Victoria almost jumped up in joy when she saw the cake that Ye Yuehuan took out. However, when she saw Ye Yuehuan's happy expression, she instantly...
" Hmph, I'll forgive you for the sake of the cake this time. If you lie to me again…Hmph…"
"Okay, okay, okay. How could I lie to Victoria? It was just a joke.”
Ye Yuehuan looked at Victoria, who was eating the cake crazily and had no time to answer him. He could not help but tease her.
"Lick…"
" Ah! You, you, what are you doing…"
"I'm just helping you get rid of the cake crumbs at the corner of your mouth.”
"But there's no one like you!”
"Hey, hey, I'm your boyfriend.”
"…Hmm."
An awkward atmosphere filled the air. The two of them looked at each other.
What to do, what to do, right, divert his attention!! Victoria's eyes lit up as if she had discovered something.
"…Tell me what happened.”
"…What?"
"The incident you mentioned just now."
Ye Yuehuan knew that it was time to stop, so he sat down on a round chair in the pavilion and said,""This morning, in the showroom of the village office…"
At the same time.
Yi An and Wenwen, who had followed Ye Yuehuan here, were hiding in the flower bed of the school. They peeked out of the blooming flowers and looked at Ye Yuehuan from afar.
In front of them, Ye Yuehuan, who might be a famous detective, was playing with dolls alone.
A delicate porcelain doll with beautiful blonde hair sat on a chair in the pavilion. The white ruffled dress was like a blooming flower, and the hat on her little head was like a bud about to bloom.
Ye Yuehuan looked serious as if he was talking to a porcelain doll…
Ian, who was suspicious, couldn't help but say,
"Officer Blois likes dolls too.”
"Yes."
Ivan nodded."
"This morning, he even carried the black-haired doll out. It was said that it was worth enough to buy a house.”
" But Ye Yuehuan's doll is…"
"Truly amazing."
Ivan sighed.
"It's almost like it's alive. How could she be so beautiful? It didn't seem like something from this world at all.”
"Hmm…"
"In other words, the police officer and Ye Yuehuan are good friends because they like dolls?”
If Ye Yuehuan knew that he was thought to be a puppet lover, he would definitely say," You guys have a bright future ahead of you "…
"That must be it."
"Ah…he's gone!"
Ye Yuehuan got up in the pavilion and left Dolly behind. She walked on the path. Ian and Ivan also hurriedly chased after him.
The dazzling summer sun was still shining on the path, and the white fountain was spraying cool water...
When Ye Yuehuan returned to the village office, she happened to meet a female traveler who was about to leave the police station. He immediately stopped the woman who was leaving quickly.
"Wait a minute!"
The startled woman turned around. Yi An and Wen Wen also caught up at this moment. They hurriedly asked Ye Yuehuan,"
"What's wrong-?"
"We can't let her escape."
The village chief and the supervisor also walked out and looked at Ye Yuehuan and the woman. The woman said unhappily,
"I didn't bring anything, and there's nothing suspicious about me. I was just released. I'm going back."
Ian and Ivan blocked the woman who was about to leave. The village chief asked Ye Yuehuan suspiciously,"
"You mean she's a criminal? What was going on? How did she steal it? I didn't bring any luggage at all."
The manager also nagged non-stop,
"Yes, I have nothing. If she was the culprit, then where did the stolen painting go? That's a very big painting."
Ye Yuehuan nodded and said to Yi An,"
"Please bring me the blank canvas from the showroom.”
"Got it-"
Ian brought over a white canvas. Ye Yuehuan then said to Ivan,"
"Please take off the ribbon on this lady's head.”
As soon as Ye Yuehuan finished speaking, the woman who had been standing quietly suddenly screamed and began to struggle desperately. The surprised police officer quickly restrained her. The ribbon of the girl in the painting was also taken off by the police. Although the surface of the ribbon was white, the back of the ribbon was mixed with various colors. It was a strange ribbon with an unknown pattern.
Night Moon took the ribbon and wrapped it around the canvas. After a few tries, she finally wrapped it up. The canvas with the ribbon rolled up gradually moved from top to bottom, and the disappearing ribbon [Maiden Portrait] began to appear.
" What, what's going on? What, what is this…"
The village chief could not help but shout. The supervisor and the villagers who had gathered also looked at the canvas in surprise.
After wrapping all the ribbons around it, a painting appeared on the originally white canvas. The supervisor said suspiciously,
"In other words, after this woman entered the exhibition room, she untied the ribbon wrapped around the painting and tied it to her head before leaving empty-handed? That's why there's only a white canvas left…"
"That's right."
Ye Yuehuan nodded in agreement.
The suspicious village chief also raised his own question.
"Does that mean that this painting was just a fake painting with a ribbon from the beginning? Ever since he was sent to our village…"
"No, that's not the case."
Ye Yuehuan looked back at Ian and Ivan."
"Please search the hotel room this lady is staying in. He would definitely be able to find the missing [Ribbon-wearing Girl Portrait].”
The village chief and the manager looked at each other. Ian and Ivan were also stunned on the spot. They finally took a deep breath.
"Yes-"
"Yes-"
They shouted and ran forward hand in hand…
About an hour had passed since the commotion.
The sun had turned gentle, and the afternoon time flowed steadily at St. Margaret's Academy.
On the plate on the round table in the gazebo was the white cheesecake that Ye Yuehuan had bought again. The snow-white cake was also covered with a large amount of moss peach jam. Victoria was extremely excited.
"Cake, cake…"
It was like singing or humming, chanting with a subtle rhythm.
Ye Yuehuan, who was standing behind him like a butler, said worriedly,"
"Hey, how can you pour an entire bottle of jam on it? Seriously, he wasn't a child. Victoria's fingers were sticky from the jam.”
"You're too noisy."
Victoria replied coldly and cut the pure white cake with a silver knife and fork. She poked the square cake with a fork and stuffed it into her small mouth, stuffing her cheeks with it. The moss peach jam flowed out of her moist cherry lips and dripped down her white chin.
"Hey! Victoria, the jam is dripping, don't dirty your precious dress.”
"Wu, wu, wu"
"You…"
Ye Yuehuan wiped Victoria's face with a napkin and asked,"
"Are you that hungry?"
"…Of course."
After stuffing the next piece of cake into his mouth, Victoria, who had puffed up his cheeks, said incoherently,
"Huan, it's all because you only bought three pieces of cake earlier that I almost died.”
Thinking of the cake, Night Moon Fantasy, he felt sad. He didn't have many summoning coins to begin with, and now Victoria said,"Sigh, why is my life so bitter?"
"This is too exaggerated! What was important was the painting incident just now. What was going on?”
"Verbal transformation, right?"
Victoria looked impatient. Ye Yuehuan sat down on a round chair beside her and nodded continuously. Victoria could only sigh.
"Oh, there's no other way. Although it's troublesome, I'll still use words for you, who's slow. You should be grateful and cry."
"Hey, hey ~"
said the listless Ye Yuehuan.
"Oh?"
Victoria glared at Ye Yuehuan and said slowly,"
"If we set the time of the crime as 'Zero,' Zero had already visited that place before the time we determined. That's what happened."
"Can you please explain it in a way that I can understand, Victoria?”
"Oh?"
Victoria became even more impatient.
"In other words, you think the woman stole the painting when she tied the ribbon in her hair and was about to leave the showroom. However, that was not the case. The painting had been stolen the day before.”
"Eh? But didn't everyone say that they had seen the painting this morning?”
"It's a fake with a ribbon wrapped around a blank canvas. It looks real from afar."
Victoria cut the cake and explained,
"Listen carefully. When we were moving the artwork the previous evening, a young worker left because he was scolded by the supervisor. At that time, the criminal police saw the young man moving a flat square cargo. Although it was just my imagination, that young man and the woman who was arrested the next morning should be the same person.”
"In that case, we did find an operator's uniform in the hotel room.”
"Well, I'm afraid she's the one who mixed in with the workers to move the paintings. As for when the real painting was swapped with the fake ribbon painting, it was taken away after the real painting was moved to the art exhibition room.”
"Yes, yes."
" In order to hide the time of the crime, she entered the showroom the next morning dressed as a woman. She took off the ribbon and made the canvas blank, making people think that the crime was committed the next day. As long as he escaped safely and wasn't caught, there wouldn't be a problem. Even if he was arrested, he would be empty-handed and would not investigate the ribbon on his head. Her wishful thinking was to escape with the real painting hidden in the hotel after she was released.”
"Oh…"
"Oh…"
Squeak, squeak, squeak-a bird chirped from somewhere. A gentle breeze blew, and the green grass swayed gently. The late summer sun seemed to have added some gentleness. Ye Yuehuan focused on the scenery and then turned his gaze back to Victoria.
"I see. Victoria…Eh, what happened to you?”
The silent Victoria hugged her stomach and seemed to be in pain.
"What's wrong? Why are you hugging your stomach? Hello, Victoria?"
"My stomach…is so bloated…"
"You, you ate too much. Your stomach is only so small. You can't eat so much cake. weiduoli
Add? You? Hey…"
Victoria left the gazebo and rolled around on the grass, lying on his back and turning around. Ye Yuehuan hurriedly chased after him.
He opened the parasol he had taken from the gazebo and protected Victoria with a circular shadow.
"Victoria, you…"
"Oh…"
"Hey…"
"It's boring again. My stomach is so bloated…"
Ye Yuehuan looked down at Victoria, who was lying on the grass with her eyes closed. She could only smile helplessly.
Then, he raised his head and looked up at the sky.
Peace seemed to last until the end of the eternal summer vacation. When the holidays ended and the students returned, they would occupy the school again.
Take the lawn, the gazebo, and the bench? This way, Victoria would definitely return to the top of the library tower, that quiet, secret hiding place…
But I actually f * cking want to study…
Ye Yuehuan looked down at his friend on the grass. Victoria turned her belly to the sky and closed her eyes in satisfaction. The golden hair spread out on the green grass like a shining golden fan.
