Regardless, the seventeen-year-old girl continued to learn the way of Balance from the Red-haired Witch, with a focus on “Law” series Miracles and incantations. However, Hamilton's lessons were not so smooth, because ever since he confirmed his relationships with Dorothy and Leia, Hamilton had never been able to successfully attend any of the Saturday evening classes.
Her Royal Highness and the Writer seemed to treat Saturday nights as Hamilton's fixed date time with them.
Therefore, even after Hamilton expressed his desire to learn how to obtain the “Power” Ling Rune to complete the last Sublimation Words Ling Rune string of the Four Ring, the girls still planned the Saturday night activities in their own way:
“I don't think ‘Power’ is urgent, after all, no matter how hard we try, Hamilton, you will definitely get help in the past.”
The girls gave this explanation.
Leia could not often spend the night outside Yodel Palace.
Therefore, she somehow convinced Dorothy to lend her body to her, allowing her to stay at Saint Delan Square Six using Dorothy's body.
This was quite a strange behavior, especially for Hamilton.
Holding Dorothy's body and calling Leia's name would give him the illusion that he was a scumbag.
【Isn't he?】
And every time he had this thought, that question would appear in his ear.
Both Leia and Dorothy felt that this kind of body swapping to make life more convenient was very normal, and did not distort ethics and morals at all.
“If one day, I suggest Dorothy wear my clothes and I wear Dorothy's dress, that's when we might be out of control.
Isn't it normal as it is now?”
Her Royal Highness said as a matter of course, and seeing that Hamilton still wanted to persuade them not to do this anymore, the Red-haired Witch, using the Golden-haired girl's body, asked Hamilton which body he preferred, so Hamilton could only shut up.
However, Leia also privately complained to Hamilton that Dorothy's physical fitness was really unsatisfactory.
But this was unavoidable.
Leia had received strict royal lady training since childhood, excelling in fencing, horsemanship, and other sports, which were part of the basic curriculum.
Dorothy was an ordinary commoner girl, and her adult career as a Writer did not require physical training.
Even after becoming a Ring術士, most of her Miracles leaned towards Spirit Evocation and inspiration.
Therefore, although both were PentaCircle, the physical fitness gap between them was quite large.
The reason Dorothy agreed to Leia's request was probably that while the Writer had gained satisfactory friendship and love, she had also finally taken a successful step in her career recently.
Due to the release of “hamilton detective story collection”, she had now become a popular celebrity in the City.
Although “Steam Bird Daily” was only sold in the western region of Delarion, “hamilton detective story collection” could be bought throughout the Old Continent.
In just one week, her new book's sales surpassed the quarterly sales of this year's best-selling popular novel “Marian's Secret”.
Dorothy herself was even called “the Golden Rose of Delarion's popular literature scene” in newspapers such as “Tobesk Morning News”, “Steam Bird Daily”, and “Three Penny Newspaper”—Leia later told Hamilton that this was related to the reputation of Dorothy's father, Professor Louisa.
There were even rumors that Dorothy might become one of the recipients of this year's Delarion “Golden Feather Literary Award”.
This was not an award where hundreds of people won together; it was a truly heavyweight award in Delarion's literary world.
But the Writer herself did not care much about these honors; she enjoyed the process of writing and gathering material.
“Of course, although I don't care about that kind of honor, and I have no intention of getting entangled in the pursuit of fame and fortune, if I really get a nomination, I will also take on the responsibility of inheriting and developing Delarion's popular literature, and...”
She saw Hamilton, dressed in formal wear, trying to hold back a laugh on the other side of the table at “Bowness Restaurant”, and playfully reached out to hold his hand.
The success of Dorothy's new book, of course, could not have happened without the help of Hamilton Detective.
As a reward, after Hamilton requested to read their diaries during dinner that day, Dorothy and Leia discussed it for half a week and finally agreed.
Of course, only a portion of the diary was opened to Hamilton; some content still belonged to the ladies' secrets.
But this was enough for Hamilton.
In addition to his intense studies, being able to have such interesting reading material, the Outsider finally found something interesting besides rhode cards in this era.
As for Luvia, after the death of the Chosen One incident ended, she, like Hamilton, chose to rest for a period of time, and after Iluna returned, the three of them went to see an Opera and enjoyed a lavish dinner together.
But only a week later, one night, after she and Hamilton returned to the City by carriage from the Opera House, the purple-eyed girl said she was going to start the investigation of the next Chosen One:
“The preliminary investigation will still be conducted by me.”
Luvia said, taking off Hamilton's coat in the bedroom and pushing him onto the bed:
“Before there are new clues, you can continue to enjoy the City life of Tobesk at the turn of autumn and winter.
Although I haven't complained about your relationships with Dorothy and that Her Royal Highness, I still hope they haven't made you indulge in games in bed, Detective.
Don't forget you still want to take the skip-grade exam at the end of the year.
Not only the second-year courses, but also the third-year courses.”
“I've already borrowed from the Library.”
Those purple eyes looked at Hamilton, illuminated by the Moonlight outside the window:
“Now, do you really want to discuss these?”
Of course, Hamilton also did not forget to visit Grace and Helen.
The girls were recovering well, and because most of Red Butterfly's power was sealed, they did not have to worry about the power of their own calamity affecting the City.
Therefore, they could walk and wander together in Middlesburg like ordinary people.
Despite having lived for two epochs, both the White Dress Girl and the Black Dress Girl still had childlike personalities.
Of course, Grace, as the elder sister, was relatively more mature.
Hamilton toured Middlesburg in late autumn with them, and even climbed Sicar Mountain, which was gradually opening, at night to see the giant tree on the mountain top together.
Somehow, the Lake Heart Island on the mountain top had returned, and the giant tree stood on the Lake Heart Island of the mountain top lake.
Even in late autumn, its lush canopy covered most of the lake surface.
Under the tree, the Red Butterfly Girls closed their eyes and made a wish, then kissed Hamilton on the cheek, one on each side:
“Let's go to the top of the tree to see the Moonlight.”
Blushing and smiling, Grace and Helen transformed into fluttering Red Butterfly swarms, dancing among the trees under the Moon.
Hamilton also transformed into a swarm of butterflies, flying with them to the treetop, and together they looked up at the brilliant starry sky from the top of the canopy under the Moon.
The intertwined butterfly swarms flew towards the sea of stars.
The story that began after the banquet in fifth epoch 3014 seemed not to have ended; they still had a very long story to write.
For example, the twins planned to find a way to go to Saint Delan Square Six before winter to see Hamilton's life:
“If you have clients there, we can even temporarily act as Detective assistants and help you receive those people with interesting stories.”
Helen suggested with a smile, and finding a way to Saint Delan Square was not difficult for them.
Grandma Cassandra, the Great Witch, had already begun to search for relics.
Although 【traveler's travel door】 is a unique relic, spatial movement is not an exclusive ability of this relic.
In short, after the death of the Chosen One came to an end, the Outsider greatly enjoyed his leisure time in this world.
He did not have to worry about making a living, nor did he have to worry about the epic of fate.
However, whenever he woke up in the morning and found that the girl by his pillow was different from the previous days, he would feel a sense of guilt, thinking, “How could I become such a person?”
But then “she” would mock him in his ear:
【Outsider, no one stays the same forever.
At least, you've only changed in this aspect.】
Burying himself in study, or receiving clients, or mingling in the City, accompanying Dorothy to gather material, or going to the Prophet Association to find Luvia for divination—at least until Wednesday, the thirteenth day of frost descent month, which was ten days before Priest Augustus returned from Middlesburg, Hamilton's life was fulfilling and peaceful.
In two weeks, he took out an exquisite silver pocket watch and a bottle of very good perfume from the 【god's gift box】.
The task for the pocket watch was to pray to God on time at seven every evening within this week; the perfume, after being identified by Priest Augustus, was confirmed to be an ordinary item and given to Luvia by Hamilton.
As for the perfume's task, it was actually for Hamilton to collect morning dew.
This led him to keep two potted plants at home, adding new life to his home besides himself and Mia.
But Mia did not allow Hamilton to place the flowerpots on the living room windowsill where she napped, so the two potted plants were placed on the balcony.
Hamilton also specifically asked “her” to remind him to water the flowers often.
Of course, in addition to occasionally consulting the doctor about demon Knowledge and Priest Augustus about angel Knowledge, Hamilton also accepted three Detective commissions other than “Mr.
Hank's Haunting Incident” and “Baron Passos' Family Heirloom Medal”.
The successful resolution of the cases, named by Hamilton in his Detective records as “Lewis's Giant Cat”, “cemetery Evening Bell Murder Case”, and “The Missing 3rd Gold Coin”, also made Hamilton Detective's reputation spread again, and his Detective career was booming, with life seemingly getting better and better.
But peace would not last forever.
After a brief rest, on the morning of frost descent month, also known as November 13th, the arrival of a letter signaled that Hamilton's rest period had finally ended.
