178 Dekan’s Mental Assault on Morion
Although Dekan’s operation was a completely new attempt, Morion didn’t think that Dekan could randomly make a few girls famous just like that.
Especially from a professional perspective.
Morion believed the singing skills of the first two girls were nothing special.
Dekan must have selected two girls with exceptional looks.
Then arranged the most suitable performances for them.
Attempting to touch the audience in the present world this way.
Listening to the town broadcasts in the Shadow World, Morion could only appraise the songs and couldn’t see the images Dekan transmitted to the present world.
So he quickly realized the shortcoming of this girl group –
The two girls Dekan picked lacked sufficient vocal skills.
“Does Dekan really consider me a good brother and is bidding farewell with this song?”
Morion knew clearly that playing this song in the city didn’t have much significance.
The only possibility was that Dekan believed Morion would still be investigating in the city today.
Thus, he played it for Morion’s appreciation.
However.
After the solo parts of the first two girls ended, the celestial voice of the third girl rang out.
Morion: “?????”
He was rooted to the spot.
Morion’s expression went through several phases in an instant, becoming incredibly complex.
This voice was something Morion knew all too well!
Isn’t this Flora?!
Morion cried out in his heart.
Did Dekan also fool Flora into singing and dancing?
Morion could already imagine the innocent and cute sister he adored being easily tricked by Dekan.
But soon, Morion shook his head.
Dekan was unpleasant sometimes, but he did not harm good people.
Flora was so kind-hearted; Morion knew that Dekan wouldn’t take advantage of her.
“Hmph, you sure know how to mess with me, but it won’t affect my mindset in the slightest.”
Relieved, Morion sneered and said.
He then continued to walk forward.
Just then.
Morion frowned after taking a few steps.
Because he felt something wrong with the lyrics of the song.
The three girls chosen by Dekan were obviously of distinct styles.
Beginning from the latter half of the song, the use of “you” in their solos varied.
The Ice Snow Princess used the honorific “you,” showing a bit of distance but also yearning to get closer to her ideal person.
Judith called out “darling,” aggressively revealing her ardent intentions to captivate the other party.
And Flora.
Her reference to her ideal person was “brother”!
The character she played was like a senior but nearby sister, intending to ensnare her ideal person with her tactics.
“Big Brother~ I hate you the most! Liars must swallow a thousand needles! ♫”
Following Flora’s words.
Morion felt thoroughly unable to hold it together any longer.
“Damn you, Dekan!”
Morion covered his head with his hands.
He suspected that these lyrics were definitely written by Dekan, and they were rather targeted.
From childhood until now, Flora had never said she disliked him!
When he heard Flora say, “I hate big brother,” it felt like his heart was violently constricted.
His spirit endured a severe blow.
“No… something’s wrong…”
But the more Morion thought about it.
The more he sensed something was amiss.
His sister Flora’s image in this song was based on a younger sister persona.
Even though all the lyrics were about calling her ideal person “big brother” and speaking ill of him,
Flora sang it in a sweet tone, making the harsh words sound like coquetry!
Morion even noticed that some men on the road had already become infatuated with Flora’s voice.
“She’s calling me brother!”
“Hehehe, I like her so much!”
It seemed that in this brief moment, Flora already had gained quite a lot of “brother” fans in the Shadow World.
Morion gritted his teeth and refrained from punching all of those people, walking quickly.
What truly made him suffer now was this.
Flora calling other people her “big brother” and behaving like a younger sister flirting!
At the thought of such a scenario, Morion felt an ache in his chest.
He rejected that scenario entirely!
“That’s Mr. Bishop of Pain D, right?”
Morion covered his ears and quickened his pace once again.
He could not bear to listen to another second of this song.
…
As the shared carriage passed through the city gates, dusk’s twilight had already fallen.
The sun about to set in the west released its last rays of red light, mixing with twilight and painting the world a purplish hue.
The shadow of this lord’s carriage stretched long, mingling with the greatly distorted shadow of the city walls, forming an almost surreal scene akin to a dramatic painting.
Dekan, Cornelia, and Teacher Cat were already seated in the carriage sent by the lord.
On the road northward, they embarked on their journey.
“Ho ho ho, Morion, your Flora was absolutely brilliant.”
Listening to the gradually fading song from the city, Dekan laughed unrestrainedly and exclaimed.
“Didn’t you feel like your lines sounded more like a villain’s… meow…”
Teacher Cat could no longer hold back its sharp critique of Dekan’s behavior.
It felt that Dekan used to at least try to pretend to be normal, behaving somewhat like a person most of the time.
Yet now, Dekan no longer feigned any pretense at all.
With every challenge in the Shadow World, Dekan became increasingly self-expressive.
These Shadow Worlds seemed to be gradually releasing Dekan’s true nature.
Revealing the most genuine, freest self of him.
“I asked the lord to have this song played on loop in the city every day going forward, hahaha.”
Dekan couldn’t stop laughing as he spoke.
He couldn’t control the corners of his mouth.
It seemed he was just too delighted.
He could already picture Morion fleeing the city under cover of darkness.
Furthermore, Dekan planned to have Flora portray the younger sister persona again in future songs.
By the time these songs became hits in the southern countries, Morion would be able to hear them in the tangible world.
“You’ve been laughing since the beginning just now, meow. Cornelia couldn’t help but laugh too because of how much you laughed…”
Teacher Cat believed that Cornelia was going to be completely corrupted by Dekan.
She was supposed to be the rare conscience of the team.
Conscience…
Maybe she was the one with the cruelest hands when they acted!
So besides Teacher Cat, the only conscience left was Chloix.
But the thought of Chloix joining the next Shadow World made it concerned.
It feared Chloix might also fully integrate into the group.
“Morion, don’t blame me, my actions are all for Flora’s dream. How could I bear a grudge against you just because of some Bandit Goblins, ho ho ho.”
Dekan continued laughing uncontrollably.
Cornelia couldn’t restrain herself either.
“…”
Teacher Cat turned its head away.
It already felt sorry for its dear friend, Morion.
“You two truly encountered each other after so many ill-fated meetings, meow…”
Teacher Cat muttered quietly, then jumped into Cornelia’s lap.
“Don’t have any hope for either of you, meow…”
Thus, amidst Teacher Cat’s complaints,
The third Shadow World challenge of the Beautiful Soul Squad came to a successful conclusion.
【Monthly Vote Reward】
【Add 1 extra chapter for every 500 votes, no upper limit】
This monthly reward system has started from July 1st and will remain valid throughout the month until July 31st at 24:00.
So far, we have received 6700 votes, which guarantees at least an additional 14 extra chapters next month.
Since the start of July, the team has been industriously striving to settle old accounts.
Looking at the monthly vote rankings, this month indeed presents a real chance to reach the top three.
Reaching the top three will offer a home screen promotion for a day, and this seems to be my only opportunity in this life, so I am willing to take the gamble no matter the outcome.
Actually, I don’t have a clear idea of the power of the home screen promotion.
But I dream of seeing Cornelia on the home screen of the client application.
Therefore, I shamelessly created this single chapter to ask everyone for your vote.
The puppy really has been trying its best. This is an original work of comedy, and its update speed certainly cannot match that of derivative works.
The idea of planning comedic scenarios actually takes far longer than writing itself, and sometimes I have deleted entire chapters due to dissatisfaction with the outcome.
Even if I start from dawn and write until the wee hours of the morning, I can probably only manage four chapters.
Today’s five consecutive updates is a result of the puppy’s mutation.
Regardless of whether we succeed in climbing the monthly vote rankings, I thank everyone.
The heartfelt appreciation towards everyone over time is indescribable. I can only express my gratitude time and time again, wishing everyone happiness and luck every day!
