"You say no, but your body is quite honest... You used it again just now, didn't you?" Ellie asked. What was wrong with Zesshi Zetsumei today? She had done so many inexplicable things.
First, she threatened Astrology Thousand Miles, then she was shy with herself, and now she inexplicably forcibly activated Self-Time Acceleration.
"..." However, Zesshi Zetsumei did not answer Ellie, but just looked up at the sunny, cloudless sky, remaining silent for a long time, looking melancholic.
Hey, hey! Zesshi Zetsumei, your character setting is wrong, isn't it? It feels like your character setting has completely collapsed today!
Aren't you a madwoman? Is it really okay to show such an expression that only a deeply wronged female protagonist would have? Ellie didn't know where to begin complaining.
"I heard the aunt who took care of me say that when those adults were still alive, they said... Christmas should be white. What does that mean?" Zesshi Zetsumei said meaningfully, her gaze, which had been on the sky, turned to Ellie, clearly wanting Ellie to answer her question.
Ellie's heart sank. Sure enough, she had been happy too soon. Zesshi Zetsumei had already noticed her slip of the tongue just now, otherwise she wouldn't have asked her such a question!
Originally, according to her character setting, she should just be Clementine who had lost her memory. Even if Zesshi Zetsumei knew her past identity, at most she would only know that she was a member of Blue Rose. There was no reason at all to ask her such a question!
"I don't know that," Ellie could only pretend to be confused. Maybe Zesshi Zetsumei was going crazy again?
Her character setting had already collapsed enough today! She would first see her reaction before responding! If it really didn't work, fighting her here wouldn't matter, after all, that guy had no MP left!
"There's no one nearby. Only Black Scripture and those Chief Priests can enter here. Astrology Thousand Miles won't be monitoring you anymore, so your identity won't be exposed, Clementine, or should I just call you Elizabeth?" Zesshi Zetsumei still said in that icy expression, words that greatly surprised Ellie.
"So you already knew?" Ellie simply gave up, shrugging her shoulders. She also imitated Zesshi Zetsumei, patting the dust off the stone steps, and sat down directly.
Ellie had originally prepared for a fight, but then she thought, weren't all of Zesshi Zetsumei's actions just now meant to put her at ease?
Forcibly using Self-Time Acceleration to burn all her MP, and then saying that there was no one nearby and Astrology Thousand Miles wouldn't monitor her, it was clear that she had no intention of selling her out. This guy really went all out!
She even consumed all her MP to show that she had no intention of fighting. Then, Ellie would see what Zesshi Zetsumei really wanted to do!
"Aren't you going to kill me to silence me, Elizabeth?" Zesshi Zetsumei again showed her sadistic smile and looked at Ellie, saying.
"I have no interest in tormenting someone who deliberately consumed all her MP. That's too boring," Ellie immediately retorted.
"Heh heh! You are indeed very careful, no wonder you were able to get this far." Zesshi Zetsumei snorted with a laugh, then once again turned her gaze to the sky, remaining silent for a long time.
"You led me here, you're not inviting me to stare at the sky with you, are you?" Ellie saw Zesshi Zetsumei starting to get melancholic again, and couldn't help but complain about her.
So, Zesshi Zetsumei putting her Christmas outfit in front of her door was to lure her over here to find her?
After all, the style of the Christmas outfit Zesshi Zetsumei was wearing was exactly the same as the one Ellie had on.
This madwoman was too roundabout in her actions. Couldn't she just send Gelos to deliver a message like last time?
After their last fight, Ellie had no reason to hide from her anymore. Ellie couldn't help but complain in her heart, wasn't she afraid that Ellie would just throw away this unknown outfit? Or was it? Had this guy already figured out her thought and action patterns? If so, that would be truly bad.
"You still haven't answered my question, why should Christmas be white to be correct?" Zesshi Zetsumei still looked at the sky and said.
Did Zesshi Zetsumei get the wrong script today? Did she get the script for a romance drama's female lead? Ellie couldn't help but complain in her heart, alright! Since that's the case, I'll tell you! And by the way, I can test her abilities again!
"Since you want to know so much." Ellie stood up, then white light flashed around her, and a huge magic circle formed under her feet. Many magic circles shining with white light also formed around her and began to encircle Ellie.
Zesshi Zetsumei still watched Ellie in this state with an icy expression. She had seen it once in Wu Da Forest, but that time she was tricked. This time, it was for real.
"Ultimate Magic! Sky Transformation! Activate!" Ellie shouted, and the magic circles encircling Ellie transformed into a beam of light that shot into the sky. The originally clear sky was instantly covered by thick clouds, and the surrounding temperature began to drop.
After Ellie finished casting the Ultimate Magic, she patted her butt and sat back down in her original spot.
"Is this Ultimate Magic? And what does this have to do with my question just now?" Zesshi Zetsumei asked, looking at the clouds in the sky.
"You'll know in a moment," Ellie said, also looking up at the sky. With Theocracy's geographical location, Zesshi Zetsumei, you'll never see a white Christmas in your life.
I'll be merciful and let you see it once. Suddenly changing the climate might affect Slane Theocracy's agriculture or something.
But... what did Slane Theocracy's affairs have to do with her! Moreover, causing destruction within Slane Theocracy wasn't what she originally wanted to do?
Even with Ellie's physique, she could feel the sudden drop in temperature. Zesshi Zetsumei was dressed as lightly as she was, but like her, she showed no signs of feeling cold, just staring blankly at the sky.
Soon, snowflakes began to fall.
"What... what is this??" Zesshi Zetsumei looked at the falling snow with great surprise.
"Have you lived so many years for nothing? Haven't you even seen snow?" Ellie snapped at Zesshi Zetsumei. She hadn't even seen snow? How much of a shut-in was this guy?
"What do you mean'so many years'! I just turned a hundred this year!" Zesshi Zetsumei retorted somewhat unhappily, then her attention was once again drawn to the flying snow all around.
"Hmph! This is what's called a White Christmas. In my hometown, it snows every Christmas. This is the origin of White Christmas, and in some places, white represents happiness and auspiciousness, so some people feel that such an important holiday as Christmas must be white." Ellie said.
However... this was also something she had seen online when she was still alive. Christmas had nothing to do with her!
"It really is white!" Zesshi Zetsumei turned her head, looked at Ellie, who was a little unhappy remembering past events, and smiled!
This smile startled Ellie again. Zesshi Zetsumei's smile now was not the sadistic smile Ellie remembered, but a very normal smile.
Hey, hey! This isn't a romance novel, stop acting like this, alright!
Zesshi Zetsumei's character setting had completely collapsed, alright! Where did the madwoman from before go? Ellie couldn't help but complain in her heart.
