Chapter 207 - 89. Moon Night
The story starts in Chapter 207 of "Demi-human Girls Completion Manual": Chapter 207: 89. Moon Night"Youâre a Witch from the Witch Research Association, arenât you? Fisher... Donât miss it!
Chapter 207: 89. Moon Night"Youâre a Witch from the Witch Research Association, arenât you? Fisher already told me beforehand, and I came to you after resolving to do so. What does it matter if youâre a demi-human? As long as I like you, as long as youâre a girl, whatâs impossible?"
Carolina was taken aback for a moment, then looked at Luosang with a somewhat peculiar gaze,
"Did he tell you... Iâm a Witch?"
Now it was Luosangâs turn to be puzzled; he had a vague sense of foreboding, as if some strange clues in his mind were connecting, but under Carolinaâs beautiful visage, he couldnât leap to any conclusions. He simply continued to ask,
"...Youâre not a Witch?"
"No... well, I am, but, how to say it, I... am a rather special kind of Witch..."
Facing Luosangâs gaze, Carolinaâs cheeks turned pink and she began to explain in a flustered manner, her words becoming more jumbled as she tried to clarify, until finally, she capitulated and confessed,
"But Iâm not an ordinary Witch, itâs just... I was originally human, but then I became... a Witch... Alright, alright! I am an Artificial Witch!"
"Artificial Witch?"
Luosang mulled over the term, as if recalling that Father Deke had mentioned artificial witches created by the Witch Research Association within the Magic Barrier â but the person before him was clearly a beautiful Lady?
He seemed to have fallen into a mental quandary and after a long pause said,
"Wait, youâre saying that you became a Witch later in life, that before becoming a Witch, you were human?"
"...Yes, before becoming human I was actually a man! Are you satisfied now? So if you like me now, youâre no different from those Schwali Nobles."
Carolina clenched her teeth and, facing Luosangâs sincere gaze, finally couldnât bear it and decided not to deceive the Prince any longer.
Perhaps Fisher, that worthless man, intended for her to deceive Prince Luosang or seduce him by hiding the truth, thereby ensuring her own escape.
But after battling with herself for a while, she decided to tell him the truth: the worst that could happen was being chased again, just with the addition of two more countries...
Even so, she still did not want to deceive Prince Luosang.
Luosang looked as if he had been struck by thunder, letting go of Carolinaâs hand with an expression of utter disbelief.
Many memories of his childhood surged through his mind in an instant, wrapping around him like an inescapable curse, causing him to take a step back.
Couldnât it be that I...
The Moon Night had reached mid-sky, and the hazy moonlight fell between them, dimming the streetlightâs glow considerably, bringing an awkward and silent atmosphere.
"Iâve already rejected you once, yet you insist on approaching me. Youâre a Prince of a country, you could have any beauty you want, and Iâm merely a monster created in an experiment!"
"Your affection will only disgust you, so give up that damn lovesick brain of yours and think more about how to benefit your people... even just ensuring that the girls born in your kingdom donât suffer at the hands of the trash from the Witch Research Association would make me grateful!"
Carolina didnât look at Prince Luosang; instead, she criticized his foolishness quite heartlessly,
"Just go back, and tell Fisher I appreciate his kind intentions. This is the reward I had prepared for him in advance, you can give it to him yourself."
Carolina pulled a folded piece of paper from her bag, which seemed to be adorned with some drawing.
But Luosang just looked at Carolina and did not take the paper she offered; instead, he asked in a somewhat hoarse voice,
"What about you? The Nali Official is investigating the Witch Research Associationâs members, how will you escape?"
"...You just have to not mention that I was at the scene, and as for when I might be exposed, thatâs not your concern anymore. The Witch Research Association is already burdened with accusations and probably too busy to chase after me; for the rest... Iâll figure it out myself. Now go."
Carolina forcefully pushed the paper into his hand, then straightened her brown hair; it was only then that Luosang noticed she had applied light makeup and a faint lipstick.
If she was not a Lady, then was this her true nature, or was it just a disguise?
Prince Luosang wondered, watching as the elegantly dressed woman waved goodbye and turned to walk away.
The performance had ended, and the audience began to trickle out, discussing the drama as they hit the streets, slowly forming an invisible wall that separated her from him; only the moonlight above formed an illusory path through the tangible barriers, pointing straight in her direction.
Prince Luosang gripped the paper in hand but remained motionless.
Carolinaâs face showed little emotion as she pulled out the paper airplane messenger used to communicate with Fisher from her bag. After a secondâs hesitation, she tore it to shreds. With the destruction of the Magic Emblem, its magical function disappeared completely, leaving nothing but scraps.
It was possible that Luosang would be enraged by her deception, but at that moment, Carolina preferred to believe he wouldnât.
She suddenly remembered that during the magic incident, the Prince had asked if she was in pain; it was the first time since her birth that someone had paid her any attention, as if for the first time, someone understood her...
Carolina hated pain the most.
