In the hallway, Mae was following Mescal because he wanted them both to have private space to talk. Although she didn't know what he was planning, Mae couldn't refuse. The only thing is...
Mescal walked a bit fast because he had long legs, and she had short legs so she had to run hard if she wasn't to be left behind.
Arriving at a room, the servant opened the door and inside was a guest room, surrounded by several large windows and bookshelves.
"Please sit down" - Mescal
Mae immediately followed suit, she sat down on the sofa and found that the softness of the sofa made her feel much better. Mae tried touching the sofa and found that the material was special. The more she touched it, the more excited she became.
"Do you know why you are here?"- Mescal
That's right, she's here to talk seriously, how could she act so stupid in front of people, it's so embarrassing.
"It must be related to the recent rumors, right? Or...are you talking about the information documents about the guests attending this party?"- Mae
"..."- Mescal
The atmosphere suddenly became cold, the pressure radiating from Mescal oppressed the servants inside the room. They found it hard to breathe and collapsed, but Mae didn't seem to feel anything unusual. She was still sitting normally but felt confused when she saw the servants all running out of the room.
Mescal looked at the walking mushroom and felt extremely curious. It seemed that the other creature was unaffected by his pressure.
'That walking mushroom, received the grace of the Archdemon, there was not one but two Archdemon bestowing grace' - Mescal thought
The Archdemon's grace, which is a blessing that any one would aspire to have, will not be simple to be granted. Because everyone knows, the Archdemon has an extremely erratic temper, it is extremely impossible to please them, not only will he not be given grace, but on the contrary, he will be given death.
A person who possesses grace is counted on the fingers of one hand, a person who is given more is almost incapable. But it seems like it actually happened.
The walking mushroom in front of him was a truly special case.
"Why do you think I sent that document to you? Do you have proof?"- Mescal
"It's paper material" - Mae
"Paper material? With just that little evidence? Paper is used everywhere" - Mescal
"No, the paper you used has a very light wood smell, not all paper has that smell because this is high quality paper that is only used by the upper class. In this room There is a faint smell similar to this type of paper. This type of paper looks just like normal paper, so it's easy to deceive others. But if exposed to candlelight..." - Mae
She took out a piece of paper from her pile of documents and gently heated it on a nearby candle, and immediately small text appeared on it.
{From Godfather: Mescal}
"Then it will show hidden words" - Mae
The man then burst into laughter, startling Mae a bit.
"I didn't expect you to be able to detect such a small detail. It really didn't disappoint me" - Mescal
"You're too complimentary, I'll just analyze the details" - Mae
"No, that's enough to make me rethink those nonsense rumors. You are indeed very thoughtful, yet those brats are spreading rumors that are not at all true." "Hundreds of truths. Most of them are lies and self-constructed" - Mescal
"So why did you invite me to this party?"- Mae
"Of course I have a reason, this is a request from me. You prove yourself to me, in return I will give you a special favor that anyone would fear" - Mescal
"So what is that?" - Mae
"How can I tell you so easily? Revealing too early would be too fun" - Mescal
"Ah, of course" - Mae
She was startled to notice something strange.
This was the first time the two met, so how could Mescal easily give her the opportunity to prove herself worthy of his favor. There must have been a reason, Mae was about to speak when Mescal said something that made her silent.
"It's okay, once you've proven yourself, I won't put you at a disadvantage. I'm a very fair person, that's why people call me "Godfather"" - Mescal
The gentle smile and friendly aura radiating from that man made Mae feel uneasy. Is it still time for her to refuse?
It's definitely not possible.
After the conversation between the two, Mae just left that room and just wanted to go home to rest. Walking down the stairs, she happened to see a familiar face. She walked over and gently touched his shoulder.
When Rava turned around, his eyes widened in surprise. Mae saw that he was dressed very handsomely, reminding her of her son when he was a child, having to dress neatly to go to a party. friends' house.
"As expected, you came to this party. You look very handsome" - Mae
"Y...You...you too. You're very...good, the outfit suits you very well"- Rava
"Thank you, did you come here alone? Where are your parents?"- Mae
"They...had urgent work so they left. But they will return soon, what about you? Where did you go?"- Rava
"It's an adult thing, you don't have to worry about anything" - Mae
As the orchestra began to play, many people formed a circle, and the couples in that circle began to dance together. Mae finds it very romantic, she often watches romantic movies, many times Mae dances with her children, it's really fun at that time.
While deep in thought, a hand was extended towards her. Rava looked at her as if inviting her to dance with him. But Mae shook her head slightly.
"I don't think you should dance with me, you should dance with those girls. Dancing with a monster is not a good idea" - Mae
"That's not very important to me. Who to dance with is my right, now I want to dance with you. Will you agree?" - Rava
"What a stubborn child" - Mae sigh
Placing her hand on his, Rava led Mae to the floor and the two began to dance slowly. It was a bit strange for the others to see a child and a walking mushroom dancing together, but when they saw that their dance was very consistent with the orchestra. It seemed like the other two didn't pay attention to their surroundings, they only focused on the dance.
Rava felt very satisfied and did not expect that Mae could dance so skillfully.
It's all thanks to Grayce's classes, thanks to his strict teaching, that Mae can dance like a high-class lady. She didn't expect that dancing in the aristocratic style would be so difficult. Because the mushroom's body is quite entangled, she can't do circular movements, so she can only do a few basic movements.
Suddenly, Mae tripped and Rava caught her, their faces almost touching each other just a little. In the eyes of both of them there was a reflection of the other.
When the orchestra stopped, Mae saw that she was very close to Rava, gently let him go and bowed, she had just done a strange action. Mae calmed her mind, she was a middle-aged mother with two children, she shouldn't have those thoughts in her head.
Mae stood up and saw Rava looking at her with intent eyes. She knew what those eyes were, and she didn't want those eyes looking at her.
She saw Grayce and Loya and nodded, at the same time suddenly the lights went out. Everyone panicked and screamed.
Sensing something dangerous was about to happen, Mae ran towards Rava when suddenly something sharp stuck to the ground stopped her.
A scent was spreading in the air, making those who smelled it feel sleepy and all collapsed to the ground. Behind the guests were people dressed in black, all of them showing signs of dark magic.
"This depends on you, don't overdo it" - Mae
[Understood]- Eri
Those people pulled out a sharp knife that flashed in the darkness and rushed straight towards Mae.
____________
[Enable operating system mode]
[Soul enters sleep state]
[Eri System takes control]
[Confirm surrounding enemies]
____________
Mae's eyes immediately glowed purple in the darkness.
A guy threw a dart at her from above, then Mae picked up the sharp knife stuck on the ground and slashed each dart away. The darts were sent flying straight towards the group of cloaked people. They immediately dodged away because those darts contained paralysis poison.
An unlucky guy was hit by a dart and immediately collapsed and convulsed violently. They noticed that the walking mushroom had unusual signs.
[Order confirmed, stop and control the enemy]- Mae (Eri)
