"Mr. Dantès, I didn't expect you to come to attend Founding Ceremony and Board Meeting for the first time. I was deeply impressed by your speech that night."
Audrey smiled slightly and said hello.
At the same time, she was also observing this Mr. "World" who had only met her once, but had actually helped her a lot in Tarot Club.
He showed appropriate surprise and appreciation when he saw me, which was completely the reaction of a man who was not familiar with me. In contrast, after I exposed the identity of "Empress" Miss, he stopped pretending. Is this not a gap in experience and attitude, but the influence of Potion? Combining his past information and Beyonder Ability who can disguise himself, is he Sequence after "Faceless"?
Although this appearance is a disguise, it should have been carefully designed to be calm yet handsome. His age makes his wealth accumulation appear reasonable without making ladies lose interest...Audrey, he already has "Empress" Miss, you can't think in this direction!
While various thoughts were flashing through her mind, Klein had already approached, bowed slightly and saluted, and said in a humorous tone:
"I originally wanted to supervise the use of that donation, but with Miss Audrey as a director, these concerns completely disappear."
To the ears of Audrey, these polite words mean that "the world" is asking "Justice" to supervise Student Aid Fund to a certain extent and report the current situation to him at any time.
This is exactly what I want to do, not to gild or to get closer to the church, but to really do something that is beneficial to everyone... She thought, nodded and said:
"I will try my best."
After exchanging a few words, the three of them entered the gate of Student Aid Fund Office, bypassed the staff who were busy setting up the venue and the reporters doing interviews, and entered the lounge on the second floor, waiting for the start of the first Board Meeting.
During this period, Dwayne Dantès has been beside Christine Teresa Miss, further away from Audrey, obviously showing a close relationship. This made Audrey feel a little disappointed, but also curious about the relationship between "Empress" and "the world".
After the charity party, she had asked the host to conduct some research and learned that the two first appeared at Backlund in early May. They did not know each other at first. They gradually got to know each other at dinners and dances, and they gradually got closer to each other with the help of Bishop Electra.
This may be an identity that they need to use for a long time, so they manage it carefully, but compared to the relationship between Middle-Aged Millionaire and the mysterious woman, I prefer the story between Mad Adventurer and the legendary pirate... Thinking of the few novels on my bedside table that have recently become popular among the noble Miss, Audrey's imagination goes wild.
Well, I can't think too much about it, Audrey, your task today is to guide everyone's discussion on Board Meeting, so that they can carry out substantive matters as soon as possible... She murmured, and saw that the two Tarot Club members seemed a little bored while waiting, so she asked:
"This is my first time participating in the operation of such a charity organization. Is there anything I need to pay attention to?"
After hearing what she said, Angel turned his head and looked at the innocent-looking girl, who was actually Sequence 6 Beyonder, and replied thoughtfully:
"As a member of the council, I am mainly responsible for setting the general direction, and the details will naturally be handled by others... I think the first wave of publicity should be carried out as soon as possible, so that the poor people who want to enter various Technical School or Grammar School but cannot afford the tuition fees as the exam season is approaching know that Student Aid Fund can help them. Later you can speak on Board Meeting to let them accept this."
As he said that, Angel looked at this "Spectator" with a "you know" look.
In order to promote Student Aid Fund to start operating as soon as possible, instead of getting involved in various mundane affairs or even quarrels for power, a "Spectator" who guides everyone in secret is undoubtedly the most suitable candidate.
"In addition, the method of distributing Student Aid Fund must be different from other charitable organizations, because the target recipients of student aid are often minors. If the cash is distributed directly to them, it is likely to be spent by poor parents, brothers and sisters. After all, this is a small amount of money. With small amounts of money, it is difficult for poor families to pass the test of greed Devil... A special account can be collected by the person holding the certificate of further education, and the living allowance is drawn based on fixed time periods. I think Miss Audrey knows more about this than me."
Klein also joined the discussion with great interest and put forward his own opinions.
They all seemed to want me, "Spectator", to come up with these suggestions and hide themselves behind the scenes... Audrey nodded and wrote down what the two of them said, and suddenly had some insights.
"In fact, rather than sitting in the office or communicating with the government and parliament, I would rather follow the staff to go to various schools to promote the program, participate in the review of applicants, and see with my own eyes the people we will help."
After carefully writing down the suggestions made by the two people, Audrey said with some anticipation.
"I think as long as you are willing, they would be happy to have a noble person who is friendly and well-known to help with publicity." Hearing the girl's wish, Angel replied with a smile, "But you can't wear the clothes and expensive accessories you have today."
Audrey was stunned and immediately understood what Angel meant.
No wonder both of them were dressed "ordinary" today, so different from the nobles and Rich Merchant children who just came to show their faces. Well, I didn't expect this. Even my father didn't notice it and didn't remind me before setting off... She was a little annoyed and kept this most important note in her heart.
Under the deliberate guidance of a "Spectator", the first Board Meeting ended successfully. There was no quarrel or confrontation. Everyone agreed on the policy of "get things started first, and then adjust slowly".
After the meeting, at Founding Ceremony, a reporter from "Backlund Daily" asked all participants to stand in the lobby on the first floor and take a group photo as an illustration for tomorrow's news. Audrey originally did not want his photo to appear in the newspaper, but considering that this was a rare photo with Tarot Club members, he agreed.
When other nobles tried to get close to her and "enter the mirror" together, this Hypnotist activated "Psychological Invisibility" and disappeared from the sight of others. Then, she quietly sneaked up to "Empress" who had obviously discovered her. When the reporter set up the camera and pressed the shutter, she held the other person's hand and leaned her body to the right.
While Angel tried his best to maintain balance, but inevitably squeezed together with Klein beside him, a photo of "Justice", "Empress" and "The World" appeared in the reporter's camera.
"What a lively noble Miss..."
When leaving, Angel left Mirror Substitution in the carriage, and got into Klein's car, smiling helplessly at him.
Tomorrow, my face with an expression of surprise and surprise will appear in the newspaper...
"It doesn't matter. With the clarity of newspaper printing, basically no one can recognize that it's you," Klein said with a suppressed smile. "Moreover, it is very rare for her to remain innocent and kind in such an environment."
At the same time, his Spirituality was alert, realizing that the next moment Angel would ask questions such as "Am I not kind?", and immediately changed the topic:
"With the help of Arrodes, I discovered that the daughter of my neighbor Councilor Macht, Hazel with a somewhat eccentric personality, was raising a 'Marauder' Pathway The mouse of E has reached the level of Demigod... Of course, it must have been seriously injured and parasitized on the mouse. Its strength has dropped a lot. After being warned, it has sneaked away."
"That girl who likes to sneak into the sewers in the middle of the night?" Angel asked, with the other party's somewhat cynical character coming to mind, "She shouldn't be affected by parasitism, right?"
"No, but I will always pay attention to her. If necessary, report it..."
As they spoke, the two laughed together, immersed in the memories of many previous reports.
After a while, Klein continued:
"Sharron Miss and Maric of 'Temperance Faction' wanted to entrust me to steal a mummy that Southern Continent transported to Pritz Harbor. At midnight on Friday, I agreed to them."
The exquisite "Wraith" Miss who looked a bit like the dolls collected by "Moon" Emlyn... Angel nodded and asked:
"Are there any risks?"
"The divination prompt is not a big problem, and I have a clever plan that does not require direct combat. The only problem is that 'Rose School' may use this as a trap to capture Temperance Faction's people."
Hearing the name of this secret sect who was an old acquaintance, Angel frowned and asked worriedly:
"Do you want me to join in? Or can I lend you some Mystical Item?"
"It doesn't matter. In my plan, more people are more risky, and Mystical Item... maybe only the 'Parasite' gloves are useful, but it's best not to use them on Backlund now..."
Klein replied with a solemn tone:
"'Blasphemer' Amon has arrived at Backlund, and is still looking for an organization that believes in Mr. 'Fool'..."
"Angel of Time" Amon!
Angel also felt her scalp was a little numb for a moment. The only "King of Angel" she had ever really faced was "Angel of Imagination" Adam. The "little shock" the latter gave her made her almost lose control in her depression and almost wanted to end her life.
Of course, these subsequent "Affliction" also brought a lot of help to my promotion... Wait, isn't this his purpose?
Feeling a little confused, Angel sighed and said:
"Then the 'Parasite' gloves are indeed not suitable for you to use. 'Aggregation Effect' will allow Amon to find you faster and find Tarot Club... I will go to Bayam to meet Anne on Friday night. If you need me, you can call me back at any time."
She was referring to the "The Travels of Grosell" summoning method that the two of them had already used once.
"I will also consider leaving Backlund as soon as possible and go to another place to avoid... Although this Amon is most likely just a clone, it may have the ability to summon the original body," Klein also said seriously, but quickly restored his indifferent smile, "Then, before leaving..."
"Ahem, my carriage is leaving the range of Mirror Substitution..."
With a straight face, Angel got directly into the glass window of the carriage and disappeared from Klein's sight.
Huh——
Klein sighed with some disappointment.
"... With a chuckle, Pirate Admiral, wearing a black robe with his face hidden in the shadows, returned to the flagship 'Future' along the starlight, leaving his back in the eyes of Gehrman..."
After reading the latest part of the manuscript, Helene sighed with satisfaction, sorted out the messy manuscript papers in front of him, left the captain's cabin, came to the cabin not far away, and returned them to his Sailor Chief, whose side job was William who published Adventure Novel.
"William, I'm going to give myself two days off this weekend. Take care of those overly lively Sailor, get off the ship in batches and rest at Oravi Harbor. Remember to leave a guard and don't let anyone drive the ship away!"
Seeing the other party nodding despite the dark circles under his eyes after staying up late to write, Helene's tone slowed down a bit:
"Get some rest and hide the manuscript so that no one finds it..."
"Discovered, who?"
William, who was tall and burly but his eyes were a little distracted, asked in reply.
You don't want to know... Helene's mouth twitched, but instead of answering him, he came to the captain's cabin, packed his luggage, and waited for the first ray of sunshine to appear outside the window.
After an unknown amount of time, the half-length mirror behind her flashed with light, and a pair of hands appeared from the mirror, grabbed her shoulders, and pulled her and her luggage into the darkened mirror.
