Volume 1 Chapter 468
by post_apiChapter 468: Chief Steward, Tell Me What Lolth Said
"What book are you reading?"
Although she approached with a tentative purpose, Lolth knew that she could not act too hastily.
If she directly asked about the other person’s feelings right now, Lolth genuinely worried it might have the opposite effect.
What if this Artificial Girl thinks she has feelings for her?
So, it’s best to take things one step at a time.
Lolth is quite good at starting conversations.
The girl had been reading since earlier, so the best way to start a conversation would be to talk about the book in her hands.
When Five Colors heard Lolth’s question, she slightly raised her head, and her deep red eyes blinked gently through her glasses before she spoke.
"It’s the book you brought, ‘A New Collection of Continental Flavors.’"
The girl answered so seriously.
Lolth glanced at the cover and realized it was the same book she had read.
This book was published only in the last ten years, written by an unknown chef, and it is of very high quality; even Lolth learned a lot from it.
The meaning of "brought by oneself" probably comes from the other person’s memory.
However, ever since she learned that her older sister left a "safeguard" in her soul, Lolth is no longer worried about the other person seeing things they shouldn’t.
She just suddenly realized…
Perhaps this "Five Colors" understands her better than she imagines.
This made Lolth feel somewhat anxious.
Even though she thinks no girl would like her after getting to know this aimless lazy person, this oblivious woman, this timid and lustful succubus, and this wishy-washy slacker…
But Isabella and Tina made her seriously doubt the taste of girls in this world.
Even though Five Colors is not of this generation and isn’t even a natural person, she still couldn’t help but feel uneasy.
It’s not the fear of the worst-case scenario… it’s the anxiety of the worst-case scenario happening.
She could only silently pray in her heart.
"The things of ancient civilizations belong to Kululu… So Kululu, please help me not to fall in love with this Artificial Girl!"
"Open the gate!"
Lolth prayed sincerely.
Inside the main realm, in the basement of the torture tower in Hillenbrand Town, the pink-haired girl suddenly sneezed twice in a row.
"Achoo—! Achoo— Achoo!"
Kululu looked curiously into the space of the realm.
"How strange, why do I feel like someone is praying for me… It’s been almost five thousand years since the Third Age!"
The little girl hesitated for a moment, then shook her head.
"Alright, it doesn’t matter if anyone prays for me or not, I don’t have that ability anymore!"
"I should focus on my own tasks first!"
Saying this, Kululu looked at the Magic Crystal in front of her and continued to carve.
She recreated the footage that had just been played in Hillenbrand Town.
In fact, this piece was already finished.
Now she was carving the second piece—this one included reactions from the audience, particularly Isabella and Tina’s responses.
After finishing, she planned to make several copies, keeping some for herself and sending a portion to the Abyss and the Demon Army.
Especially to Lolth’s mother—she had just called and specifically requested it!
Although she is not from the Succubus clan, Kululu, the "Great Supervisor" of the Shadow Demon King tribe, is far from being just a name!
The precious and rare image of the Second Princess trying to charm someone is more worth keeping and remembering than learning to walk for the first time.
If big sister Sokabus, as a mother, didn’t get to see this scene with her own eyes, it would be so sad!
Kululu would never allow such a thing to happen.
It’s not because she wants to get back at the Second Princess for using her name for trouble lately!
Thinking of this, Kululu showed a proud smile on her face.
"Hmph… Little Lolth, when you get married in the future, I want to show it all at your wedding!"
Inside the Ruins of Sand, after praying, Lolth also seemed to receive a response from Kululu.
She felt a chill run through her body and then shivered uncontrollably.
"So scary, it feels like Kululu has planned something against me…"
She suddenly realized how foolish it was to pray to Kululu.
That Kululu… is quite mischievous!
Perhaps life and death truly depend on her, but wouldn’t she just end up laughing at herself in the end?
Moreover, she might even cause trouble!
In the end, I really have to rely on myself.
Lolth looked at the girl Rainbow again, and her reading speed seemed to have slowed down.
After a long while, she was still on the same page she had been reading earlier.
So, Lolth cleared her throat and continued to talk to the girl Rainbow in front of her.
"Why do you want to read this book?"
Lolth asked this, and Wusei slightly raised her eyes again.
The cover of the book lay between the two, showing only Wusei’s pair of eyes.
"There isn’t any special choice, I just happened to see this book."
Wusei said calmly.
Lolth nodded her head.
"I see… this is indeed a very good book," Lolth said, slowly shifting the topic, "I really like this book… but as a ‘magistrate,’ is it a bit inappropriate for me to read such a book?"
Lolth asked tentatively.
"’Magistrates’ can certainly have their own interests and hobbies," Wusei responded, "The personality, life, and hobbies of a magistrate are completely free; what books or food they like is their own choice, just like all the Ailuo people…"
Wusei paused here and continued, "Even choosing a partner is the same as among the Ailuo people; they can freely enjoy having multiple partners… And partners can be from different races, magical creatures, or even objects, which is allowed by the Ailuo people."
She said this and thought for a moment before adding another sentence.
"I was just giving an example."
Lolth looked at her through the books, listening to the jumble of words, and nodded slightly.
"Oh…"
She felt that this Artificial Girl was indeed a bit strange.
However, from her tone, it seemed she didn’t have any special feelings about it.
"So, what do you think of me as a magistrate?"
Feeling the moment was right, Lolth decided to press on and completely clear her worries.
"Very bad."
Wucai said without thinking, giving an answer that Lolth did not find too surprising.
Hearing this answer, Lolth could not help but smile with joy.
"Great!"
She secretly celebrated in her heart.
This was even better than she had imagined!
This girl completely disapproved of herself!
How could she possibly see herself as the master?
However, a somewhat proud Lolth did not notice…
Through the books, Artificial Girl Wucai whispered softly.
"As for the parts beyond being a magistrate… actually, it’s quite nice…"
