Chapter 87 Dark Demon is just a flower card collection enthusiasts
***Edited by Kronost***
"Are you talking about flower cards?"
Dark lowered his hand, a whole deck of cards appeared in his hand.
There were a total of 18 flower cards, which were spread out like a folding fan with a twist of Dark's thumb. Each flower card had a different color, and all in all was a great collection.
Dark was like counting treasure: "The bright red camellia is the most humble love; the devastatingly beautiful poppies would not give up until they die; the red spider lily is the symbol of tragic and eternal love… and my favorite pure white datura, which is so beautiful that it encompasses all kinds of love."
Scott was dumbfounded. Although the Cuttlefish suit could not show a detailed expression, his astonishment had already been shown from the fact that he hadn't moved for a long time.
How much knowledge does this person have on flower cards?
Obviously we are the makers of the flower cards, right?!
But why can't I understand what he said?
And that pure white datura, why does it look so familiar?
Isn’t that the one I inserted into the gaps of a door?
...
Scott originally came here with the purpose of questioning Dark.
Among the last batch of flower cards distributed last week, a large part of them were not activated.
This directly led to the fact that the Order's collection efficiency of "feelings" was greatly reduced, and the cracked goddess statue could not be repaired faster.
Soon, the Order noticed that someone was collecting a large number of flower cards, and coupled with the inexplicable cracks that appeared recently in the goddess statue, the "flower card collector" should be linked to the "statue destroyer".
Scott was just a pawn who came to investigate.
Once it was confirmed that the Flower Card Collector was the Statue Destroyer, the Order would give him the necessary punishment for vandalising the goddess statue!
But Scott never expected how awkward his disguise was (/▽╲).
...
Speaking of which, why would anyone go to the street and read a newspaper leaning against a tree trunk?
Wouldn't it be better to spend some money to sit in a restaurant and read it while relaxing?
It didn't take long for Dark to spot his stalker, and then he just pretended that he didn't see Scott.
Anyway, if the stalker was a smart guy, he would leave on his own.
But since he didn't leave, Dark decided to confront him and get some information from him.
But he didn't expect that even before he could start his investigation, the other party already exposed it all in one sentence!
Dark figured out the purpose of the other party almost immediately.
He even guessed that this was related to the Cuttlefish in that Seafood Cult, and the one who transformed Robert into a woman.
The reason why the Cuttlefish came to him was nothing more than that his behavior of collecting flower cards had attracted too much attention.
But there is no need to cover it up, is there?
He is just a simple and enthusiastic flower card collector!
...
Dark's praise and enthusiasm for the flower cards came from his heart, without any pretence.
Scott did feel the enthusiasm, and immediately and foolishly believed him.
At this point, Scott could actually go back to report that Dark had nothing to do with the cracks of the statue.
But since joining the Order, certain thoughts in his heart have become more and more difficult to suppress.
→He wants to represent the goddess and punish this heresy!
...
Dark asked curiously, "Excuse me, is it you who made these flower cards? If possible, I would like to collect some non-repeated cards."
The corners of Scott's mouth twitched. Ignoring the consequences, he shouted: "Magic summoning... ouch!"
"Muhuahauahua!"
The sudden acute pain on his butt and the sharp laughter behind him made Scott's consciousness become blurry for a moment..
But in the next instant, his world became completely silent.
Neither the sharp laughter, the rustling of the whirling leaves, or even the seemingly caring inquiry of the Noble House first-year student in front of him could be heard anymore.
He opened his mouth and shouted: "——"
But still nothing could be heard.
He couldn't understand if he was unable to make a sound or if he was making a sound but simply couldn't hear it.
This was completely different from the [Silence Card] used by Professor Silver.
At least, [Silence Card] wouldn't block the sense of hearing!
Scott, who turned around with endless trepidation, finally saw the sneak attackers behind him- White and Robert!
...
"It's him, it's him, it's him! I remember it now, it's him! I saw the octopus tentacles before I fainted!"
"It's Cuttlefish, Robert."
White grabbed Robert's arm helplessly, preventing him from rushing to beat Scott angrily.
...
DemiDevimon, hiding on the eaves, had closed its mouth. It had just injected [Silence Potion] into its syringe, and then used [Demi Dart] to project it out, giving Scott a fatal blow to his ass.
The syringe turned into sparkling light dots and disappeared into the air after hitting Scott.
Scott did not see the syringe, only White and Robert who had just arrived on the scene.
White had a natural keen intuition. He had noticed Scott's unusual gaze early in the Waltz Music Restaurant, but it was after eating expensive ice cream with Robert that he felt more and more strange, so he followed Scott all the way here.
...
Hence this small place gathered four people from the three forces at the same time.
Dark wasn't surprised by the appearance of White and Robert,
After all, DemiDevimon had already seen their arrival on the roof.
"In the name of Robert Brogheim, come out, Cyborg Ratman!"
Robert summoned the magical spirit he crafted in the magic theory class.
It was an ugly rat standing upright like a human.
A remnant of the fallen Skaven Ratmen Empire.
Its body had mechanical parts on the left and flesh on the right, and it was holding an acid ejector!
"Robert, don't!"
Seeing the cyborg ratman summoned by Robert was aiming the ejector at the Cuttlefish's face, White stopped him with a look of trepidation.
If the acid was sprayed on Scott's face, they would definitely be punished or worse—even expelled from the academy!
Saint Marian expressly prohibited fighting, and all disputes should be resolved in the form of duels.
Last time because of the duel with Dark, he specially looked up for the relevant school rules.
Generally, the punishment for fighting was not severe, and credits would be deducted at most.
But if it caused an incurable injury...
However, the acid of the Cyborg Ratman has corroded Scott's Cuttlefish outfit.
Just when Robert wanted to go further.
Scott's lips squirmed suddenly and quickly.
Casting a spell silently!
When a dark green three-eyed Cuttlefish turned into a solid entity, it pounced on the cyborg ratman, and two magical spirits fought together.
Robert broke free from White's grip abruptly, clenched his fist, and rushed forward, hitting Scott's mouth with a hard punch!
"Bang!"
"——!"
