Vignette's Secret / The Hippogriff Has Put on Weight

The lottery started again, and this time Vignette didn't participate; the prize was drawn by someone else.

When she heard Afu say that he could compensate her with something else, she thought about it and realized that she didn't really need anything.

Just as Vignette was about to send a message to refuse Afu's kindness, she suddenly remembered that summer vacation was coming soon, and she would have a lot of free time since she had nothing to do except work.

She thought for a moment and sent a comment, "I'm on summer vacation, can I go visit Afu-chan- chan?"

"Oh ho! What a clever little devil! So he had ulterior motives for forgoing the gift."

"Afu-chan, please don't agree to her request. She definitely wants to secretly take our Afu-chan for herself."

"We don't want gifts, we want to go play with Afu-chan too."

"Why don't you just have a fan meeting Afu-chan?"

Vignette's words immediately sparked another wave of discussion in the live chat.

Afu shook his head and said, "This place isn't really suitable for hosting you. It's fine if it's just one or two people, but it definitely won't work if there are too many. I'm sorry!"

How could she let everyone go to him? That would really cause trouble; he has too many fans, and they would definitely be too busy to handle it all.

He wasn't opposed to Vignette, but he definitely couldn't mention it during the live stream.

Vignette was somewhat disappointed; it wasn't so easy to meet Afu-chan in person after all.

She thought it made sense; after all, Afu was an idol, and he couldn't possibly entertain everyone who came to him, or he probably wouldn't be able to do anything.

With that thought, Vignette felt relieved and sent a comment to the live stream. "It's okay, Afu-chan, good luck!"

After saying that, he turned off the live stream and lay back down on the bed. Looking at the Hippogriff doll by the bedside, he tried not to think about anything and prepared to get a good rest before heading out to work the next day.

Ding-dong!

After some time, Vignette's phone rang; someone had sent her a message.

She reached out and touched it, only to find it was a message from Afu.

"Sorry, I can't say this during the live stream. If you really want to come visit, just come quietly. This is..."

Below is a specific address.

"It's actually quite deserted here. If you come over, the most I can do is treat you to a meal."

Afu didn't agree to Vignette during the live stream, but after the stream ended, he still messaged Vignette and agreed to her request. He felt a little guilty that Vignette had given up the doll.

"It's nothing, I was just out for a stroll because I was bored, I won't bother you."

Vignette was overjoyed and immediately replied to Afu's message.

"Then you should let me know in advance."

After Afu replied, there was no further sound.

Vignette jumped out of bed, clenched her fists, and shouted, "Chok to death!"

Just as Gabriel is addicted to games, Vignette is not a robot and has her own hobbies, but she acts more rationally.

Meeting her idol, Afu-chan, was something that Vignette was really looking forward to.

She carefully planned out the specific schedule and arrangements.

Section 385, Chapter Fourteen: Vignette's Secret

For the next few days, Vignette worked, and she dragged her tired body home.

She was exploited by her boss every day, and working was more tiring than going to school.

Fortunately, she didn't need to go every day. After making up for the days she missed due to the exams, Vignette was finally able to get some rest.

With some free time, Vignette decided to take advantage of her few days off to go find Afu-chan, something she had been looking forward to for a long time.

The next day, she dressed herself up and went out happily.

After summer vacation started, Satania was bored out of her mind, spending her days aimlessly wandering around, not knowing what to do.

"Vignette!"

On the way, she saw Vignette walking ahead, Satania quickly called out to her from a distance.

But Vignette didn't hear her call and continued walking on her own.

Satania hurriedly tried to go up and greet Vignette, but she quickly realized something was wrong.

Vignette actually got into the car and drove away.

Satania's eyes lit up, as if she had discovered a new continent, and her eyes darted around.

She's a woman of action; she turned around and went to find other people to tell them about her discovery.

Raphael and Gabriel were pulled out of their homes by her, and the three of them gathered at Yuxian's house to find Mash.

"Satania, are you sure you're not mistaken? Vignette must be going to work."

Raphael didn't believe Satania's words. Based on her understanding of Vignette, that devil who was more angelic than an angel couldn't possibly do anything special; her life was so monotonous it was maddening.

"Impossible, Vignette was traveling in the opposite direction from where she works."

Satania said confidently, "Her behavior is so suspicious. She didn't even hear me when I called her. She must be hiding something from us."

"This is so boring, let's go home."

Gabriel had no interest in whether Vignette was hiding something and sneaking out; she yawned and was about to leave.

"No! Detective Satania absolutely must investigate this matter thoroughly."

Satania grabbed Gabriel, not wanting her to leave. She had finally found something interesting to do, something that wouldn't be so boring, so she wasn't going to let it end like this.

She suggested, "How about we follow her?"

"That's not a good idea. Let's wait for her to come back and ask her." Mash felt that following her was impolite and objected to Satania's suggestion.

Satania shook her head. "She definitely won't tell the truth. We'll have to find out for ourselves."

Gabriel yawned again. "Vignette has been gone for a long time. Can you find her?"

She just wanted to leave as soon as possible; playing games was much more fun, and stalking was a complete waste of time.

But this didn't stump Satania; she pulled out a device from somewhere.

"Clang clang clang! The Great Demon Satania was prepared."

"This is a tracking detector I bought from TV shopping in the Demon Realm. With it, we can find Vignette's location."

Satania always buys strange and unusual things from the Demon Realm's TV shopping channel; she spends most of her allowance on TV shopping.

It's quite a relief that something has finally come in handy this time.

Raphael was already very interested in this kind of thing, and seeing that Satania had even prepared everything, she nodded in agreement to the plan.

Regardless of whether Vignette is hiding a secret from them, the whole thing is quite interesting.

Gabriel had no choice; she didn't want to participate, but she was dragged along and couldn't leave, so she had to join in.

Seeing that everyone agreed to do so, Mash thought about it and decided to go with them as well.

After the four of them discussed it, they decided to set off immediately without delay.

"This sounds like so much fun, we want to go too!"

The children, who had been listening intently to their conversation, could no longer contain themselves.

They were also very interested in such a fun thing. They were bored at home, so they pestered Mash to go with them.

"No, you're at home."

Mash rejected their unreasonable demands without even thinking.

"If you don't let us in, you won't leave either!"

The children were not about to listen, and Nursery Gretel gave Jack a wink.

In a flash, the location detector in Satania's hand fell into Jack's hands.

"Okay, we'll go by ourselves now, you don't need to help us!"

The children, with expressions that said "we don't care about your attitude," quickly organized themselves and decided to ditch Mash and the others to go on their own adventure.

Mash was very angry and was about to start scolding them.

Yuxian Xian quickly stepped in to smooth things over.

"Alright, alright, let's just treat it as a trip for fun, let's all go together."

Yuxian walked over and said, "I think Vignette must be doing good deeds, like taking care of children in orphanages or visiting elderly people in nursing homes. You must be overthinking it."

He didn't believe for a second that Vignette had any ulterior motives. Following the usual pattern, the final destination of this kind of surveillance would either be an orphanage or a nursing home, so there was nothing to look forward to.

However, if the children want to go out and play, then I'll take them out for a walk in my Yuxian, let them experience society, and learn some positive energy from Vignette.

To be honest, he was getting a little bored staying at home all the time and wanted to get some fresh air, so this was a good opportunity.

Yuxian's meddling turned what was originally a secret surveillance mission into a group outing.

Yuxian really treated this as a trip, saying, "Let's invite Tamamo no Mae and treat it as a short trip."

And so, Yuxian's family and Satania's three companions set off in a grand procession toward the direction indicated by the detector.

"Where is this? Why would Vignette come to such a remote place?"

Following the direction indicated by the instrument, everyone arrived at a mountain village, which was the village where Afu lived.

"Satania, is your equipment broken?"

They began to doubt Satania's instruments. This mountain village didn't seem special at all, Vignette didn't seem like the type to come here.

"Impossible, this is the latest high-tech product in the Demon Realm, there's no mistake, Vignette must be here."

Satania secretly wondered if she had come to the wrong place, but she would never admit her mistake. She was convinced that Vignette was right there.

"Since we're here, let's wander around."

Yuxian didn't feel anything was wrong. The environment here was very nice. He had come out for a walk anyway, and the fresh air made him feel very comfortable.

"Let's go, let's wander around, maybe Vignette is right here."

He took the lead and led the children into the village.

Seeing this, the others had no choice but to follow. They had already come all this way, and they couldn't just turn around and leave.

Chapter 15, Section 386: The Hippogriff Has Grown Fat

Vignette is now sitting in a small teahouse.

The mountain village doesn't have any large restaurants or other facilities. This small teahouse was opened by the villagers when they were bored, so that everyone could drink tea and chat.

The arrival of Vignette aroused the curiosity of the villagers, who all looked at the pretty young girl.

At this moment, Vignette was quite restless. She had just contacted Afu-chan and was about to meet her in person.

This made her both excited and nervous.

"Is the real-life Afu-chan very different from the one on the internet?"

Vignette was a little worried. She had seen a lot of news stories about people who were actually overweight but pretended to be beautiful girls online to scam money.

Although she didn't think Afu-chan was that kind of person, she was still quite worried.

His anxiety was clearly visible on his face, and the villagers could see it all.

The owner here was an elderly man. He brought over a cup of tea and placed it in front of Vignette.

"You're here to see Afu, right?" the old man asked with a smile.
