Chapter 294: The Misunderstanding Between Tina and Isabella and Dorothy’s Reasoning and Awakening

During the following time, Lolth recalled in her dream many moments including but not limited to "bumping into each other after meeting," "working hard together during the school cultural festival," "taking care of each other in the infirmary when sick," "holding hands for the first time at the aquarium and the beach during summer vacation," "misunderstanding each other’s feelings," "resolving misunderstandings on Christmas and confessing under the snowflakes by the Christmas tree," and "exchanging chocolates and trying a kiss on Valentine’s Day," all of which were typical and clichéd plots…

These scenarios appear in almost every romance novel and teenage love comic, with at least three or more of them!

But Lolth made sure to include every single one for herself!

Yet, no matter how "unrealistic" this dream seemed from a god’s-eye view, or how "excessively pure" Lolth, this succubus, felt inside, the impact it had on Isabella and Tina was still very real.

Even so, they never imagined that this might be Lolth’s complete fantasy.

"Who is this girl? She has experienced so much with my Lolth… But my Lolth has never mentioned her!"

"At this point, the only thing I can do for Lolthlinda is to find this girl…"

Tina and Isabella became increasingly depressed.

The two people even exchanged a glance, and the distance between them was reduced greatly.

After all, their recent rivalry was born from wanting to win Lolth’s favor.

However, they sadly realized that they had no competitive edge at all.

Since one side had already lost completely from the start, what was the need for competition between them?

They even felt a sense of shared sorrow.

"Sigh… Let’s go, Isabella."

With Tina’s bittersweet sigh, the cold war between them officially came to an end.

Isabella nodded with a wry smile and said in a slightly bitter voice, "Yeah, let’s go… We shouldn’t disturb Lolthlinda’s beautiful memories."

Both of them could no longer bear to watch, so saying this, they slowly walked toward the door together.

Turning around, she saw Lolth still chatting and laughing with that girl.

Although there was nothing too extreme in the scene, the more they saw it, the more it hurt them both.

"So, Lolth’s biggest ‘desire’ and ‘longing’ is really just to spend a wonderful night laughing and talking with that girl…"

Both of them thought this, not realizing that Lolth’s ‘desire’ was not really about that girl, but about enjoying such a beautiful moment and an experience like a romance manga.

The face of Nagano Mei, who she loved deeply from her past life memories, was more like a general symbol.

Of course, Lolth really liked the pure and cute neighbor-girl type of Nagano Mei…

However, it could easily be replaced by any other person she had a good impression of.

The reason a face unrelated to the people around her appeared in her dream reflects a bit of the "awkwardness" in Lolth’s personality.

She didn’t want to have a crossing-the-line moment with someone she wasn’t in a confirmed relationship with—this would be quite unconventional for a succubus!

But whether it was Tina or Isabella, when they were worried and unsettled, they could not think of this at all.

Instead, Dorothy, who was a bit confused at first but hadn’t gotten too deep into it, stayed by the bedside, calmly and keenly watching Lolth’s dream, suddenly felt something was off.

"Wait… If this is a dream, then it could be completely fake…"

As a warlock, Dorothy studied the mystical technique of "monster control" in mental studies, so she was more familiar with dreams than Tina and Isabella combined.

"This ‘girl’ has a somewhat stiff and unnatural face, and doesn’t look like someone Teacher Lolth knows very well!"

Dorothy carefully observed the girl who was lightly chatting with Lolth, noticing that her expressions were always a few fixed types.

This unnaturalness was like an AI face swap with "insufficient material."

That’s why she initially thought, "This could be a grown-up Kanor"—because her posture also had a sense of unnaturalness, leading her intuition to say this wasn’t a perfect memory.

Even with Lolth’s powerful soul and extraordinary mental strength, achieving an effect that no AI algorithm from previous lives had ever reached, the lack of "material" resulting in insufficient rendering could indeed not be made up for.

Although Dorothy seems a bit clumsy in practical skills, this princess of the Golden Peacock is actually very smart and quite mature for her age!

She has even begun to make guesses that are very close to the truth, and she has reasoned them out well.

"Could it be that all of this, including this girl, is just an unfounded ‘fantasy desire’ from Teacher Lolth?"

The more Dorothy thought about it, the more possible it seemed!

"And these scenes… even though Tina and Sister Isabella believe they are happening in the Abyss, according to the ancestors’ notes, the Abyss is definitely not like this!"

"Even if three thousand years have passed, since the ancestors recorded the Abyss as having a ‘chaotic and harsh magic environment,’ it is impossible for such harmonious and beautiful scenes to appear!"

"It’s possible that the truth is exactly the opposite of what the two sisters think. The school that Teacher Lolth built is definitely not because she misses the past, but because the life of the past is completely different from the life she likes and dreams of, which is why she insists on building those buildings in Hillenbrand Town in such a bright and simple style!"

"Most importantly, Teacher Lolth has said that both her cooking skills and extraordinary powers are self-taught… Teacher Lolth never went to school! It seems the teacher also mentioned that she spent all her time hidden away in the Abyss, with almost no social life or close friends! She even said she envied me and Martial Sister Kanor!"

"So, one of the things Teacher Lolth has said and this dream must be false…"

"But Teacher Lolth had no reason to lie to me and Martial Sister Kanor about those details, so… the falsehood is this dream!"

"Although this is Teacher Lolth’s wish, it is precisely because it is a wish that it has never happened!"

Dorothy stared at all of this in a daze, realizing that everything made sense!

"So that’s how it is… I need to explain all of this to Sister Tina and Sister Isabella for Teacher Lolth!"

With that thought, she turned and quickly walked towards the door.

But after a few steps, Dorothy slowly came to a stop.

Do I really need to do this?

Dorothy pondered and stayed silent, finally standing still for a moment; in the end, she did not choose to go in the direction of Isabella and Tina.

Instead, she turned around and closed the door to the Interrogation Room for the Church of Light, then returned to her own room.
