Chapter 280:
"That's right, that's it. This clumsy movement is a bonus. Matthew's learning ability is really strong. Look at Roman, how do you feel?"
They said not to instill strange thoughts on Matthew.
However, seeing that Mona Lisa and Matthew both showed expectant expressions, Roman still replied.
"I think it's pretty good... well, don't look at me like this, I like it, it's okay to say that?"
When Roman said the word "like", Matthew's face showed happiness as if his life was complete.
"Look, I said Roman would definitely like it. Really... Wouldn't it be better to be frank, why do you have to make it so awkward?"
frank? awkward?
I'm sorry, the word awkward has nothing to do with this man. He is a frank man who will say it when he likes someone, and propose marriage when he feels the time is right. He will never do such stupid things as being arrogant and ruining his life.
"On top of that, I've added an interesting feature to the glasses."
-I knew it.
The genius and beautiful girl Miss Mona Lisa, how could it be possible to spend most of the day just adjusting the frame of the glasses? According to Roman's understanding of the Mona Lisa, she is definitely the type who will be restless if she doesn't do anything.
So what exactly is added?
Roman's curiosity was also raised, and he was looking forward to the result of the Mona Lisa disappearing for a long time.
Is a location tracking system set up? Can emit a laser beam? Or will it suddenly become the automatic reflection of the sunglasses? Even if it was thrown out and suddenly exploded, Roman would not be surprised.
"Hum hum—" Mona Lisa let out a smug laugh, her mouth turning into a cat-like w-shape, "That's the magic detection function. Just activate this—you can observe what appears in the field of vision. The magical power of man."
What kind of strange function is this, how does it look like the combat power observation instrument shown off in the comics?
This kind of thing is useless at all. In a magician's battle, although their own magical power is one of the factors to win, the more important thing is whether the magician knows how to fight. It is even more useless in Chaldea, because most of the staff in Chaldea are ordinary people, and there are only two or three magicians, so in the end, this magic detection function is only for Mona Lisa. It's just a fun toy.
It should not be handed over to Matthew, this child has just come out of the isolation room, and he cannot develop a fearful character at this time.
But seeing Matthew and Mona Lisa discussing with great interest, Roman didn't stop it any more, just one more toy.
Roman shook his head gently and decided not to worry about it. However, at this time, he saw Mona Lisa looking here, and he finally remembered that this is not something that can be ignored.
"Look, if the target is an ordinary person like Roman, the value displayed here is..."
The moment Mona Lisa, who was wearing glasses, saw Roman, her smiling face suddenly stiffened, and Roman knew that Mona Lisa had discovered the fact that Roman was hiding.
"Matthew!"
"Doctor? Is there something wrong?"
"Well, I'm sorry, let's stop here in the morning. I have some things to discuss with Mona Lisa. It may not be suitable for you to sit here. Can you go out for a walk?"
Matthew looked at Roman in surprise. It was the first time she heard Roman say such a rush. Then she looked at Mona Lisa and found that her face was very strange.
Matthew didn't say much, just nodded and left the medical room.
After the automatic door of the medical room closed again, Mona Lisa asked.
"Can you explain, Roman?"
Looking through this pair of magic-detecting glasses, Mona Lisa has seen Roman's hidden magic power, and this magic power is definitely accumulated over a long period of time. But the scary thing is, in all these years, Mona Lisa never knew Roman was a magician.
"Explain? I'm a magician."
"This is not something that can be explained by 'I am a magician'." Mona Lisa was very dissatisfied with Roman's perfunctory attitude, "Tell me, why do you hide the fact that you are a magician? I believe no It's just me, even Olga Marie and Leif, no one knows that you are a magician. It would be better if you just concealed ordinary things, but in Chaldea, you concealed that you were a magician - Roman, Who are you?"
There is already hostility in the Mona Lisa. It is no small matter that the hidden magician is discovered. You must know that Chaldea is now the core of Animusphia, and it is not an exaggeration to say that those who work in Chaldea are the retainers of Animusphia. If a strange magician appeared in this place, it was definitely an enemy with bad intentions.
Roman has been hiding his identity as a magician for ten years, because Mona Lisa is not careful. If it wasn't for their friendly relationship, and Roman had never done anything to hurt Chaldea, maybe Mona Lisa would have treated Roman as an enemy.
Maris Billy had summoned the Mona Lisa, but not kept her in Chaldea as a decorative vase.
"Calm down, Mona Lisa, Maris Billy knows I'm a magician."
"Hmph, do you still want me to confront Maris Billy? And from your words, can I guess that even Olga Marie doesn't know about it."
If only Maris Billy knows that Roman is a magician, then Roman is really dead.
"Tell me, this is your last chance. If you can't satisfy me, go see Olga Marie with me."
"I thought you would let me die here."
"shut up!"
"Calm down, I won't say anything!"
Finding that Mona Lisa's cane had begun to condense magic, Roman knew that if he could not give a satisfactory answer, he would be taken by Mona Lisa to see Olga Marie, or die here.
How can I explain it to pass?
"Actually, this is Marys Billy's arrangement." Roman looked at Mona Lisa carefully, and found that she had no other reaction, just listened to his explanation quietly, "You know, compared to Marys Billy , Olga Marie is insufficient in both talent and wrist. If Olga Marie is allowed to inherit Chaldea, she will inevitably encounter internal doubts and external attacks. At this time, only the surface protection and assistance are not enough. Now, there must be someone to help Olga Marie through the difficulties secretly, and this person is me. Among the people around Olga Marie, the most reliable person is Leif. But because of his excellence, The easier it is to become the enemy's target. If you encounter an enemy that cannot be dealt with, either Olga Marie or Leif will be in a desperate situation, because the power revealed on the surface is always easy to be targeted. However, at this time, if someone It's different in the dark. As a potential force, I will be a surprise soldier that no one can expect. This is a force that can only be used once in the most urgent moment. Whether it is Leif or Olga Mary doesn't even know about this, because the more people who know it, the easier it will be to be discovered, especially Olga Marie, who is too irascible to be exposed."
It's really justifiable and convincing. To find such a perfect reason in such a short period of time is indeed a man with so-and-so wisdom.
"you are lying!"
"Well, I know this matter can't stand up to scrutiny. After all, no one can prove my identity."
Having said so much, it turns out that Roman's identity is still his only, and only the dead Maris Billy is left. In this case, Roman's danger is still not reduced.
Roman couldn't help sighing, knowing that he could no longer convince Mona Lisa.
"Then there's no other way, just take me to see Olga Marie."
Since he can't convince Mona Lisa, let's try to convince Olga Marie. Although he doesn't think the success is very high, he must try.
"No."
Mona Lisa's staff disappeared from her hand, and her hostility disappeared without a trace.
"Don't get me wrong, I don't believe your words, but my own judgment."
PS: The first picture was posted in Chapter 4, and it was a little misguided. I repeat it, you shouldn't mind, it won't be charged anyway (laughs). How is your reading experience?
468 Chapter 8 The Small Animals of Chaldea
"What's the meaning?"
"Um... If I have to say, it's that Roman is not a liar at all."
Mona Lisa gave an inexplicable answer, an answer that Romain felt very familiar.
Once upon a time, he was also said to be a person who would not lie at all. To this day, he is still the one who does not lie. The reason can't be because he hates lying. Because he hates lying, he can't learn how to lie. In comparison, he is more inclined to conceal.
Because concealment is not doing anything, not saying anything, not revealing it.
"Since I lied just now, why does Mona Lisa still believe me?"
Now that Roman was lying, his stance became even more dubious, but the Mona Lisa trusted him instead.
"I said, I don't trust you, but my own judgment."
"Where did the judgment come from?"
Mona Lisa pushed her glasses confidently, as if there was a silent narration saying: There is only one truth.
"Roman is an old man who has worked in Chaldea for ten years. It is well known that you are loyal to Animusfia. If you are really a spy lurking in Animusfia, it is impossible. No chance to destroy Chaldea or even replace Animusfia. Just imagine, when was Chaldea most vulnerable?”
"Let me think about it—that was when Maris Billy died."
"To be more precise, it was the time when Maris Billy died and Olga Marie took over as director. When Olga Marie showed her most vulnerable, it was also the heart of the Chaldeans. The most unstable moment. But there was no abnormality at that time, except for the thoughts of the Chaldean staff, everything was too quiet, and it was possible to pass through that difficult period without a sound.”
"That's because Rafe..."
"Indeed, Professor Leif showed a reliable spirit at that time, acting as Olga Marie to direct the operation of Chaldea. But the problem lies with you."
"I?"
So what did he show at that time? No, it should be said, what did he do at that time to gain the trust of Mona Lisa?
"What were you doing at that time?"
"At that time? I remember that at that time I was almost too busy to stop. Every day I had to adjust Matthew's body, and I had to take care of the seriously ill Olga Marie. In addition, I had to check whether other people were infected with Olga. Gabriel's infectious disease. It turned out that Olga Marie was actually acclimatized and unable to adapt to the Antarctic climate, and the death of Maris Billy made her emotionally too sad, and the dual pressure of physical and mental overwhelmed her. Any questions?"
"No. It is because there is no problem, so I will conclude that you are not a person with bad intentions. After all, when Chaldea revealed the biggest flaw, you are only doing the work of a doctor, and you are so responsible that people worry that you will Will not follow in Olga Marie's footsteps. If you are a spy, you must be the worst spy, at least do something to Olga Marie's body during this time."
"I said I'm not a spy."
"That's why I judge that you are not a spy. Of course, I will not believe your words just now."
After all, when Roman said those words just now, even if Matthew heard it, he would think it was a lie, so how could he deceive the shrewd genius and beautiful girl Mona Lisa? If Roman is really a spy, he is obviously the most disqualified spy.
Compared with those strange reasons, Mona Lisa is more willing to believe that Roman has a reason that cannot be said, so she has to make up an excuse temporarily.
In other words, Roman temporarily passed the border. However, the crisis of trust remains untouched.
Roman has been unbelievable as long as the Mona Lisa doesn't get the final answer for a day.
Really, wouldn't it be better to just hand it over to Olga Marie at this time? Why keep going like this?
Discovering this unpleasant truth, Mona Lisa no longer wants to stay here, and the two can no longer be as intimate as before.
"Wait a moment."
"What?"
"...don't tell Matthew about this matter anyway."
Mona Lisa didn't answer, and walked away clumsily on her high heels.
For the time being, let's just take good control and don't let things get worse.
…
After Matthew left Roman's infirmary, she found herself with nowhere to go.
Roman protected her very well, or too well, so when Mash was alone, she couldn't adapt.
There is no place where Chaldea needs her yet. The staff perform their duties, and under the command of Olga Marie, it is enough to operate well. As long as there are no other accidents, Chaldea will operate normally.
What Matthew needs to do now is to wait for the Masters of Group A to gather in Chaldea, and then participate in training with these Masters. Before that, what he needs to do is to adapt to the life of contacting other people. However, Matthew found that he had nowhere to go. The first place he could think of was the dormitory.
After thinking for a while, Matthew walked in the direction of the isolation room.
"Isn't that Matthew?"
When walking down the corridor, a person appeared in front of him.
He was wearing a green formal suit and a tall hat of the same color on his head, looking like an old gentleman and aristocrat.
When he saw Matthew, he greeted her with a smile on his face.
"Professor Rafe."
Matthew uttered the name.
"Well, it seems that you still remember me. We only met once. It seems that your memory is very good. I remember that during our meeting, you didn't even have the opportunity to communicate."
Rafe came over, looking closer to Matthew than the others.
In fact, Leif is like this to everyone. Although he is a magician, Leif does not have the same arrogant attitude as other magicians. On the contrary, he has that kind of very gentle character, giving people a feeling of being approachable.
"No, I don't remember Professor Rafe's name, it was Dr. Roman who told me. He said that if I have a problem that I can't solve, I can go to him. But if I can't find him, I can go to someone else. people."
"This answer is really interesting. It seems that Roman is ready to be lazy. This really suits his character. If you don't mind, can you tell me who these 'others' are?"
Leif still kept a smile on his face, making it impossible to guess what he was thinking.
Matthew was originally a simple child, and it was even more impossible to know Leif's thoughts. She said Roman's words with a simple mind.
Mona Lisa, Olga Marie, Rafe...
"As expected, this is an unsurprising answer. The list of things to pay attention to is here. But only Roman would dare to say that. If it was anyone else, they wouldn't be able to avoid these names. It is because of this that he will let you do this, but don't worry, just contact us if you have any problems, neither I nor the director will refuse you."
"…thanks."
Matthew paused for a moment, and then said this thank you.
There was a warm smile on Leif's face again.
