"You guessed it right." Facing Klein's response, Lynn first nodded earnestly and then said, "As a reward, I will prepare a picture album for you."
Klein's smile froze immediately, and he had a bad premonition almost instantly. He asked, "What kind of picture album?"
"Of course, it's a special collection of the great Mr. Fool," Lynn glanced at Klein with a bright smile. "Rest assured, I will record every Tarot Club meeting. One day, when you need it, I will present this gift to you."
Klein: ...
Didn't you promise not to get angry?
The feelings of social death and embarrassment that had been suppressed surged back up. In Mr. Fool's mind, it was as if a meme of the screaming marmot was playing. He said stiffly, "I don't think this gift is necessary..."
"No, you will need it," Lynn said firmly, looking at Klein seriously. "Although I don't have the ability to foresee the future like an Angel of Secrets, my intuition tells me that you will need this gift in the near future."
Klein was stunned. For a moment, he forgot his embarrassment and asked, confused, "Are you sure?"
In what situation would he ever need such a socially deadly album?
Does this even make sense?
Klein suspected Lynn was teasing him, but the latter's expression was too sincere and serious. Considering that his goofy friend never messed around with serious matters, Mr. Fool couldn't help but hesitate.
"I'm very sure," Lynn nodded. He wasn't lying, after all, it's well-known that social death helps stimulate the recovery of humanity.
Look at his companions like Bethel and Amon; their humanity had been significantly enriched after some stimulation.
And as Mr. Fool's good friend, Lynn wouldn't just use this album to torment him. He truly planned to add something special to the album, like creating a unique spiritual space inspired by the original novel, allowing Mr. Fool to relive the memories in 3D while benefiting from the psychological ability of the high-sequence abilities of the Spectator pathway.
In the original work, Klein's state was terrible later on. Although Lynn believed that with him around, Klein wouldn't be as lonely or under as much pressure as in the original story.
But considering Klein's hometown was gone, and his family couldn't be rescued immediately, with the apocalypse approaching, there wasn't much time left for Mr. Fool. So Lynn felt it necessary to prepare something to help Mr. Fool manage his mental state.
'I can't help it. Not doing this would hurt my conscience. Having a friend with good character is also a problem...' Lynn muttered to himself, looking at Mr. Fool with interest. "What art style do you prefer? Realistic or chibi? Sketch or oil painting?"
'Thank you, I prefer a blank one.'
What else could Klein say? Although he still suspected Lynn was teasing him, he could only accept this fact. He knew he couldn't stop this mischievous friend.
However, Klein didn't overlook a particular word Lynn used, making him look at the latter in surprise and ask, "You seem to remember a lot of things." He even remembered the term "chibi."
"Just some knowledge about painting. Probably because I like painting. Since you told me about the transmigration, I've been gradually remembering some things related to it..." Lynn rubbed his temples with a troubled expression.
"Honestly, it's still hard for me to believe what you said, but those skyscrapers in my dreams and the fragmented memories tell me you're right."
"In that case, even if we don't actively search for your past, you might gradually recover all your memories," Klein said thoughtfully.
"I think so too, but that would be too slow. And such recovered memories are too fragmented. I'd rather actively seek them out than passively wait," Lynn said, his gaze drifting as if he was reminiscing or zoning out.
Klein quietly watched Lynn, not disturbing him. Although he had never experienced memory loss, Klein could imagine Lynn's state, especially since he had more than one memory-impaired person around him.
Yes, and both of them were once friends… Klein thought, his expression becoming somewhat complicated. He felt there might be a special bond between Azik and Lynn.
Soon, Lynn snapped out of his contemplative state and looked at Klein, continuing, "So, what's your answer?"
He was naturally asking about the art style Klein preferred.
"Chibi, it feels cuter," Klein's expression stiffened slightly. After thinking for a second, he replied.
Klein didn't choose chibi because it was cute but because he thought it might cause less mental harm compared to realistic or oil paintings.
'At least I can console myself that it's a meme...' Mr. Fool did some psychological construction in his heart.
"No problem!" Lynn nodded, choosing to accommodate Mr. Fool's little thoughts.
After all, Lynn was confident that with his drawing skills, even in chibi style, people could easily recognize who was who.
"Let's discuss the matter of the Rose School of Thought," Mr. Fool automatically changed the subject this time. He didn't want to continue discussing that topic which made him want to hide in embarrassment. So he said, "After advancing to Sequence 7, I contacted Miss Sharron and the others. They plan to act tomorrow night, so be prepared."
"Tomorrow night..." Lynn blinked, his expression becoming strange. After thinking for a moment, he said, "You better suggest they change the time."
"Why, is there a problem with tomorrow night?" Klein looked at him, puzzled.
"I contacted the Angel of Secrets these past two days, asking about the Abraham family. Perhaps I annoyed him with my questions. He told me that the person who should appear will do so by tomorrow at the latest." Lynn spread his hands and said, "In other words, there's a high chance of a blood moon tomorrow, making the full moon arrive early."
Ah, this!
Klein didn't know how to comment on Sharron and Maric's luck. He tried not to laugh and nodded, saying, "I'll contact them immediately to have them postpone or advance the action."
The blood moon was no joke; Sharron and Maric would truly lose their combat power under it.
"Go ahead, I need to start preparing your album," Lynn said, naturally taking out his drawing tools.
Seeing this, Klein immediately got up, deciding to head to the Bravehearts Bar to find Sharron and Maric.
Otherwise, watching Lynn draw his black history in person was too torturous.
Meanwhile, Lynn leisurely started sketching while simultaneously controlling his Fourth Epoch self to return to the Solomon Empire.
This time, besides sending invitations to Medici and the others, he aimed to persuade Ouroboros.
However, to Lynn's surprise, when he found Ouroboros, he saw an unexpected scene.
TN: Mr. Fool would have a heart attack if he ever sees our internet.
