### Chapter 58: Come to My House and I’ll Show You Some Cool Stuff
The blonde loli glanced at the friendly smile of her silver-haired loli companion, sensing the genuine tone in her voice. She didn’t seem like a bad person at all.
And since the blonde loli wasn’t too cunning, she nodded her head approvingly.
“I believe you’re not a bad person.”
“Right? Then let’s introduce ourselves! I’m called Night Star, what’s your name?”
“My name is Lulu Lana, nice to meet you!”
Lulu Lana seemed to have relaxed her guard and began curiously examining Night Star.
She then whispered to herself.
“Do you really know about the Demon King and the Holy Church?”
“Mmm, I know some of it.”
Night Star started revealing bits and pieces of the dark timeline involving the theater group leader, exaggerating a bit for effect.
“I remember the Holy Church being an ancient creation filled mostly with Holy Knights. They were absolutely despicable, causing so much mischief that even commoners would turn pale at the mention of them! But ultimately, they were apparently wiped out by a Demon King who had black feathers. That’s a pretty satisfying ending.”
Listening to this, Lulu Lana’s burgundy eyes lit up immediately.
Bingo!
That’s exactly it!
She hadn’t mentioned any details about the Demon King, but Night Star had somehow guessed “black feathers.” This must mean she really knows something about it!
Impressive!
Plus, the term “Holy Knight.”
Lulu Lana had seen some remarks from Holy Knights in an old book at home, matching almost perfectly with what Night Star described. This further proved the authenticity of Night Star’s story!
Who would’ve thought that a trail she couldn’t find in countless books now came to her through a loli?
This is just luck!
Night Star sneakily glanced at Lulu Lana’s expression and noticed how excited she was becoming.
It seemed like the information Night Star provided was exactly what she wanted to know.
Now it was Night Star’s turn to ask.
“Lulu Lana, where did you learn about this?”
“From an old book at my house,” replied Lulu Lana.
“An old book?” Night Star tilted her head in confusion.
Would there really be a book documenting such distant stories?
Moreover, these were supernatural events—more akin to myths than history. Even modern people would think they were fake.
Night Star had also searched online before, but found nothing.
Historical records in Huaxia probably wouldn’t cover it either.
It’s surprising that the free country would record such things.
Sure, at that time, the background of the theater group leader was set in the past of the free country, so it makes sense to have such records.
But there probably won’t be any clues online anymore.
Night Star was suddenly curious now.
How did the book describe the theater group leader’s fall into darkness?
I want to see it so badly.
Night Star continued questioning.
“So, where is that book now?”
“At my house, why?”
“I want to take a look.”
“Well… mum said I can’t let anyone else read that book. If she finds out I showed it to someone, I’d definitely get scolded.”
Seeing Lulu Lana’s cute, nervous mannerisms, Night Star quickly understood her concerns.
Seems like Lulu Lana’s mother is quite strict, and Lulu Lana is well-bred. Otherwise, a girl her age would likely be bragging all over the place.
“Lulu Lana, we are friends, right?”
“Friends? I guess so.”
Lulu Lana wasn’t sure if getting to know someone instantly meant they were friends.
If she denied it, the girl in front of her would surely be heartbroken.
She couldn’t bear to do that.
Then Night Star leaned closer, almost pressing her whole body against Lulu Lana.
“If we are friends, then we shouldn’t worry too much about this, right? Plus, I might know more details than the book. What’s the concern then? Don’t you want to know more?”
Whispering softly into Lulu Lana’s ear, it sounded like a devilish temptation.
Lulu Lana’s heart wavered.
“Gwah… if I show you the book, will you tell me more about the Demon King?”
“Mmm, no problem at all.”
The Demon King is just the theater group leader, as Night Star understood fully well by now.
She could even take Lulu Lana to meet the Demon King—if circumstances permitted—since he’s the one who put an end to the Holy Church.
Lulu Lana would never guess the truth: the loli right in front of her is actually a subordinate of the Demon King.
That makes sense.
Night Star is a performer in the theater, one of its members.
The theater group leader is the founder of the theater group.
Comparing the theater group leader to the Demon King, Night Star being a subordinate fits perfectly.
With that, Lulu Lana decided on a choice that went against her mother’s wishes!
“Okay, but the book can’t come out. Would you like to come to my house right away? My mom is working outside, so she probably won’t notice.”
Taking a friend home to play should make her mom happy.
Her mother even encourages her to make more friends.
Maybe she would support it!
Of course, only if she doesn’t find out you’re taking her there to show that weird historical book.
Hearing Lulu Lana’s invitation, Night Star happily agreed.
“Sure!”
When visiting another loli’s house, isn’t snuggling just around the corner?
Now Night Star saw through her.
Lulu Lana is probably part of the hidden world too.
Having an old book in the house about the Holy Church’s past is already strange. And her mother telling her not to reveal this indicates she knew something secret.
Moreover, Lulu Lana actively sought information on the Demon King—can’t ignore that either!
Especially considering, Lulu Lana is an unawakened Star Holder.
Her stars haven’t awakened yet, so she looks like a regular person and can’t detect anything unusual.
If not for Night Star having the power of “Existence Interference” to boost perception, she might have missed what Lulu Lana’s body concealed too.
So Night Star felt no hesitation!
Avoiding getting her in trouble is key.
After returning the book to Shuyao, Night Star returned to her, feeling a bit guilty as she relayed the earlier chat.
“Um, Shuyao, I need to leave for a little while, I’ll be back soon. How about reading this book here?”
Since leaving Shuyao midway today didn’t feel right…
But given the circumstances, she’ll make it up to her later!
Shuyao simply nodded.
“Mm, go ahead.”
“I’ll be back before evening.”
With that, Night Star turned and left.
Lulu Lana returned the borrowed book and took Night Star out of the library.
In the area where only Shuyao was seated,
she put down the book she was reading and picked up the one left by Night Star beside her, opening it.
At least this way, she learned a bit more about what kind of books Night Star likes.
