Just as Luo Ge was being held in Roxy's arms, enjoying his teacher's warm embrace, people around him stopped and stopped to watch.
Da da da!
Suddenly, a series of hurried footsteps came from the periphery of the crowd, and the funeral scene was briefly disrupted by the arrival of this uninvited guest.
The person who came was none other than...
She is a demon girl from the Migrudia race who looks remarkably like Roxy, with almost identical features.
She rushed forward, shoving through the crowd in her way... just as she was about to say something.
But the next second...
She seemed to have witnessed something unbelievable, and she was completely stunned... she was speechless.
Her eyes widened, her mouth opened, and she looked as if she had witnessed something utterly absurd.
"Huh?"
"Really?! It's Luo Ge? Luo Ge... you weren't dead after all?!"
Her loud scream immediately attracted the attention of others around her.
Roxy was still lost in her own self-admiration, oblivious to the gasp of surprise that followed her.
Although everyone here noticed her presence, their faces displayed an extremely strange expression.
"Huh?"
"Are you Roxy?"
"What's going on? What are you doing here Roxy?" At this moment, the first person to respond to her was Elinalise.
She glanced at Roxy, who was holding Luo Ge, and then at Roxy, who had just rushed in from outside.
Two Roxy?!
The ahoge (cowlick) swayed slightly in the wind.
To be honest... Elinalise's brain almost shut down; she didn't react on the spot.
Wait a moment?
Two Roxy?!
How can there be two Roxy? They're almost identical!
Not only Elinalise, but everyone else, after noticing this scene, all turned their gazes to the two Roxy, scrutinizing them repeatedly with puzzled expressions.
Those who don't know them might mistake them for twin sisters, but those who are familiar with Roxy know that Roxy has no brothers or sisters at all.
"... Another teacher, Roxy?"
"This is quite interesting."
Of course, Luo Ge noticed it too.
He first let go of Roxy, who had been clinging to him tightly, before standing up to look at the late Roxy behind him.
Their gazes met.
I looked at the two teachers, Roxy.
Unlike the astonished and confused expressions on everyone else's faces, Luo Ge simply smiled slightly.
Lara!
It must be Lara!
Others may not know, but he knows perfectly well.
One of them, Roxy, must be the prankster Lara was playing before.
Thinking of this, Luo Ge walked up to Roxy with a annoyed expression and said, " Lara, stop pretending!"
"You've followed me all this way... what exactly do you want?"
Who knows?
When Roxy heard Luo Ge call out Lara's name, she wasn't panicked at all; instead, she looked puzzled.
Roxy tilted her head slightly.
They immediately looked like they didn't understand what you were saying at all.
" Luo Ge? It's great that you're still alive, but what about that?"
"Um... who exactly is this Lara you're talking about?"
At this moment, before Luo Ge could speak...
The woman beside her, Roxy, also looked puzzled. She stepped forward and asked, "By the way... you're also from the Migrudia tribe, right? I don't think I've seen you in the village before?"
"Who are you?"
"Well, of course I'm Roxy."
"What? You're Roxy? Then who am I?!"
"Heh... Who are you? How should I know? Why are you disguising yourself to get close to Luo Ge...?"
"You're the one who's pretending, okay? This is so ridiculous..."
The two of them started arguing fiercely, each saying their own opinion.
Tone of voice.
Expression.
... Even the way they argue is exactly the same.
First come, first served...
Although deep down, Luo Ge was initially convinced that the later one was the imposter, he couldn't help but start to waver at this moment.
There is no other reason.
They look so alike.
The two teachers, Roxy, look so alike, especially when they're dressed in identical outfits.
I can't tell...
I really can't tell the difference...
But anyway!
There must be one truth and one falsehood in this, and the other must be the identity Lara was impersonating.
Just as Luo Ge was troubled by their argument...
Paul suddenly leaned close to Luo Ge and asked cautiously, " Luo Ge... what exactly happened?"
Luo Ge waved his hand.
There was no response.
He patiently scanned back and forth between the two Roxy, trying to find a flaw.
Speaking of which...
At the beginning.
Lara made up an excuse halfway through, and Luo Ge thought she had left and would never come back.
Unexpectedly... he had saved up such a powerful move for himself at the crucial moment.
Okay, okay, you really enjoy playing this game, huh?
Don't let him catch you; if he does, you'll be subjected to severe torture.
Frost Strike!
Frost Strike!
When two identical voices rang out simultaneously, the ice collided and exploded in mid-air.
At the critical moment.
It was Luo Ge who stepped forward.
"That's enough... you two, stop fighting!"
Luo Ge shouted to stop them, rushed forward, and separated the two Roxy with one hand each, standing between them.
"I know you're in a hurry, but please don't rush... If you step forward now and admit your mistakes, I can forgive and forget."
"But if I find out, hmph... the consequences will be severe."
However, faced with Luo Ge's blatant and undisguised threat, both Roxy reacted in exactly the same way: they both shook their heads vigorously.
Then... pointing at each other, they said in unison, "Believe me, Luo Ge! She's a fake!"
"..."
Luo Ge's lips twitched.
He couldn't help but start to have doubts.
Although the two Roxy look exactly alike, the one who arrived later is clearly more suspicious.
But Luo Ge didn't rush to make a judgment.
After all, although he hadn't known Lara for long, that clever and cunning girl was far too shrewd to reveal such an obvious flaw.
"Sigh! There's nothing I can do. Since you enjoy playing so much, I'll play along to the end."
" Lara!"
"In that case, let me find out the truth."
Luo Ge, whose eyes had been half-closed, suddenly opened them wide.
He looked at one of the Roxy and slowly said, "Excuse me... may I ask you a question?"
Seeing her nod, Luo Ge pressed her further, "Can you explain to everyone why you're late today?"
After a while, Roxy fell into deep thought, and then she began to explain to the people there.
"It's like this..."
"Just last night, around midnight, I had just finished eating leftovers in the kitchen when I went outside and was attacked... Someone attacked me from behind."
"... When I woke up again, I found myself tied to a closet in the room. After I freed myself, I discovered that the funeral had already begun."
"But thankfully, I arrived in time."
" Luo Ge, don't believe her lies... I wasn't attacked last night at all... I ate leftovers last night, but I went back to my room to rest alone afterward."
"By the way, Elinalise... Elinalise can vouch for this for me. I even saw her go into His Majesty the Demon King's room when I passed by in the corridor..."
"Is that so, Elinalise?"
Elinalise, who had been named, stepped forward and, after a moment's thought, spoke.
"Hmm... it seems like that's true... Although I didn't see Roxy, there was definitely movement in the corridor."
With Elinalise coming forward to testify, everyone's suspicious gaze also fell on another Roxy.
"No! That's not how it is... Luo Ge... You have to believe me..."
You must believe me!
"She's faking it... she's lying... I was the one who was knocked unconscious, she must have knocked me out!"
"Heh, you're the one who's lying and deceiving, aren't you?"
"While your story sounds plausible, don't forget, I'm an experienced A-rank adventurer and Water King Rank magician!"
"How could someone be attacked silently... without anyone noticing? Don't you think that reason is absurd and ridiculous?"
"You're lying..."
"I didn't lie..."
"Fake!"
"You're the imposter!"
Watching the two teachers, Ms. Roxy, arguing back and forth, Luo Ge was getting a bit overwhelmed.
Speaking of which...
Who is real and who is fake?
Who is Lara, and who will be Roxy?
P. S.: Who do you think is real and who is fake? Is the one who arrived first the real one... or is the late Roxy the real one? Feel free to make your guesses!
