Wayne returned home with some worthless gadgets bought from the street.
As soon as she stepped into the house, she saw Chris sitting cross-legged at the door in a strange posture. She was also wearing a hooded black robe, looking like a pagan from the FFF group.
"What are you doing?" Wayne asked.
"I am conducting a very important divination activity." Chris said seriously, "Now, please take off your shoes and throw them outside the door."
? ? ?
Is there an attack of chuunibyou?
"I won't take them off unless you give me a new pair." Wayne also squatted down and protected the little leather boots he was wearing like an old hen protecting her chicks.
"Buy." Chris waved her robe, revealing half of her hand wrapped in white cloth.
Poor child, how could she be so stupid at such a young age? Wayne looked at her with pity.
After thinking about it, since she was already like this, I'd better just follow her.
So Wayne did as she said and threw one of his shoes back out the door.
"The Lord of Love who exists in the dark! Please listen to my call and show the emotional results of the person in front of me!"
A gust of wind blew, and Chrissy's robe fluttered, revealing half of her eyes covered by white cloth. She shouted: "The Evil King's True Eye, the seal is lifted!" and then opened the white cloth in front of her eyes.
The wind stopped, and time and space seemed to stand still.
Her silvery blue pupils were beautiful and deep. She stared at Wayne in front of her without blinking, as if she wanted to see through his body to the soul inside.
"Very good, there are no signs of interference from outside gods. Now, go check which direction the toe of that shoe is facing."
"Yes!" A maid holding a huge fan suddenly appeared behind Chris.
She trotted out and thumped back.
"Miss! The toe of your shoe should face north."
"...Which direction is north?"
"Miss, it's facing inside the house."
"Great!" Chris clapped her hands and stood up, covering her right eye with a white cloth again.
"According to the divination results, Wayne Winche's relationship within this year will not have a good outcome, and he needs to re-examine his relationship with the other person."
"Wayne! This is the Lord's will!" she said solemnly.
What kind of inexplicable and messy divination is this? The Lord doesn't care at all!
Wayne stood up helplessly and changed into his indoor shoes. "It's best not to be seen by Mother in this outfit, otherwise you will be punished again."
"My divination is true!"
Well, your divination is true, the CP you consume is also true, and everything you want is true.
Wayne responded perfunctorily: "Okay, okay, it's true."
Then he suddenly remembered, was there something wrong?
When she interrupted him, he seemed to have forgotten something.
"By the way Chris, didn't you receive anything?" he asked tentatively.
It shouldn’t be!
Geli said that she would ask her servants to bring back the things she bought. She wouldn't lie to herself about this little thing, right? You can expose it when you come back.
Chrissy's body froze, and her heartbeat stopped for two beats.
What does he mean by asking?
A boy’s sixth sense? Have a premonition that your gift will be returned home? Not confident in your feelings? Ugh...poor child!
"Is there? Maybe there is, or maybe not, I didn't pay attention..." She took out two coupons from her pocket like a magic trick, "Ven! Let's go see this debut theatrical performance together! I heard that It is a troupe that has been touring for many years and has accumulated quite a reputation.”
[The love story of a prince and a noble lady~]
Wayne took a look and said, "Hey guys, isn't this the one that Song Li was interested in before?" How much do you like this cliche?
He glanced at Chris with a complicated expression, he wanted to speak but hesitated, and he hesitated to speak but wanted to.
Chris seemed unaware and kept talking: "Many little sisters have recommended this troupe to me. If nothing else, it is definitely good enough. This time the script was also written by The leader of their troupe wrote it himself, and the "Coward" he wrote before became popular throughout the royal capital."
"It's a pity that I haven't had time to appreciate it yet." Chris said with a little regret, but quickly cheered up again: "So, Wayne, do you want to watch it together?"
After a pause, as if to enhance her persuasion, she added: "Just treat it as accompanying me."
'She seemed to really want me to go with her. '
Wayne studied her expression suspiciously.
——Unprecedented sincerity.
Could it be that he got into some trouble?
Thinking that ever since he came back, she seems to have been deliberately avoiding the topic of gifts, constantly interrupting...
Not satisfied with the gift? Or accidentally broke it?
The quality of that doll is indeed not very good.
Forget it, give her a better one next time.
"Go ahead then." Wayne said with a smile: "I've never seen an opera before!"
"Woohoo!" Kris screamed strangely, "Let's go now!"
"Wait, at least change out of this weird outfit of yours first!"
…
In the end, Chrissy went out wearing normal clothes.
It is an ordinary adventure outfit. The hood on the back can cover her gorgeous blond hair with small curls at the end that is usually too conspicuous.
The two of them walked on the street, just like two ordinary civilian children. Except for their clothes, they were extremely neat and clean, as if they were newly bought.
Wayne thought Chris would at least ask what he and Song Li said, even if it was just out of curiosity.
But unexpectedly, Chris had no intention of doing so at all along the way, and she didn't even mention half a word about Song Li. Instead, she kept talking about other interesting things that happened around her.
It was as if he was deliberately amusing himself.
Sitting in a seat near the front of the theater, Wayne silently prepared himself to fall asleep.
Theater was a very important entertainment activity in the Kingdom of St. Lornes, and was loved by everyone from the king himself to the common people.
But how could Wien, who has been bombarded by various new media in the 21st century, be interested in medieval Western dramas?
But as soon as the performance started, he knew that he had gone astray.
I thought it was a story about the love between an ordinary prince and an aristocratic girl, and the posters posted outside advertised it this way. However, in fact, it is a work that satirizes the aristocratic ecology and criticizes society with very sharp words.
The vast majority of the audience here are ordinary people born in the common class. They have already accumulated a lot of resentment against the superior nobles. They also have deep sympathy for those words that no one usually dares to say. They exclaim at one moment and laugh at the other. .
The main summary is: a noble girl is about to marry a prince of another country who is over twenty years old due to marriage. Before that, she didn't even know the height, weight, and thickness of the other person. During the betrothal process, the greed and ignorance of various nobles came to life. However, the top church leaders in the country believed that this marriage was not in their interests, so they used the name of God to sabotage it.
In the end, the aristocratic lady put aside the ideas that those people kept trying to instill in her, and ran away from home to investigate the prince in person. The two fell in love at first sight when they actually met him, got married and lived a happy life.
There are several reversals in the middle, and the performance is superb, which also reflects the dissatisfaction with the aristocracy and old ideas as well as the concept of progress.
Wayne willingly gave enthusiastic applause. In time, this work will definitely become a classic in the world.
But Wein still felt that the excitement level of this story was still too conservative. Although the satire was sharp, it did not go deep into the essence.
If we compare it with the explosive plots of various modern novels, TV shows, and games, there is still a gap that is difficult to bridge.
That is a dimensionality reduction blow from industrial civilization.
