Demi-human Girls Completion Manual Chapter 1666 - 120: Broken Defense_2

As she spoke, Valentina seemed to suddenly remember something, and the joy of reuniting with a lover faded bit by bit, becoming resentful along with her slightly red-rimmed eyes,

"Fisher, aren’t you more worrisome? Although I’ve been asleep for so long, at least I stayed inside the Wutong Tree the whole time! And you, you hid your injuries from me before I fell asleep! Do you know how heartbroken I was when I just woke up and found out you were missing, possibly dead in the snow?! The Slimes searched for so long and couldn’t find you, even when they showed up, it was only because they had left spies in the South Continent that I knew you appeared there!"

As she spoke, she raised her small pink fists in anger as if to vent her frustration, but at the thought of having just pounced on Fisher, who now seemed to have a body as frail as a normal human, she feared that if she really punched him, she’d end up widowed.

So she waved her fists in mid-air, expressing her dissatisfaction through this method,

"Hurry up and apologize to your wife, I’m very angry now!"

"...I’m sorry, Valentina. But back then, even if I told you, it would only add to your worries within the egg. It was better to let you have peace of mind..."

"Nonsense! Between a husband and wife...between a husband and wife there should be honesty and mutual support! How can you share only the good news and not the bad? In any case, you can’t do this again next time!"

"Okay."

Fisher sighed with a helpless smile, unable to argue against such a particular Valentina, and could only agree.

At this moment, the voice of the priest sounded outside, barely reaching them from backstage even though his voice was amplified countless times by magic.

Fisher looked towards the prayer hall, scanning the area for a suitable spot to attend the entire funeral of their teacher,

"Valentina, the teacher’s funeral is about to begin... I know you have a lot to ask me, and I have a lot I want to say to you. Including Elizabeth, she might also think this is a rare opportunity, and while I don’t wish to avoid it, at least let’s wait until after the funeral... Let’s first find a suitable place to attend the funeral."

Valentina looked at his profile, hearing the deeply emotional prayers of the priest up front, she said nothing further, only smiled and said,

"Yes, as Mr. Helsen was your teacher, I should also respect him. I had no intention of disrupting this farewell ceremony for Mr. Helsen; I am here just to find you..."

As she spoke, she seemed to remember something, becoming a bit unnatural, and quietly took a few steps back, using her boot to lightly step on the "Elizabeth Indictment" she had written crouching on the ground earlier without Fisher noticing.

Because the gift cart insulting the old woman Elizabeth was removed by who knows who, she had intended to create another on the spot, but just as she was writing, she heard Fisher calling her.

Suddenly, she felt slightly embarrassed, afraid Fisher might see her aggressively combative side.

Like a shrew arguing, this wouldn’t do; Miss Valentina was a very gentle girl... Ah, this was how Master Tao had taught her to write.

"...Found it, there’s a platform on the second floor over there, right beside the Mother Goddess Statue. If we’re careful, we shouldn’t be discovered."

"Yes, let’s go."

Valentina silently kicked the indictment under a gift cart, then nodded and followed Fisher’s lead, heading towards the platform on the side of the second floor amidst the serene hymn and the priest’s leading introduction.

This area was originally a second-floor corridor of the small chapel, but due to renovations requiring expansion, it was built outwards from the original walls, creating new rooms that made the space seem much larger, though it wasn’t actually in use. When Fisher and Valentina arrived, they could still see some stones that hadn’t been taken away after construction had been completed.

Fisher quietly leaned against the wall, looking down through a gap in the wall about five or six meters high, able to see the entire venue where the ceremony was taking place.

He saw the side of the Mother Goddess Statue, saw the crystal coffin under the statue where his teacher lay, saw the seats below filled with guests and many journalists in the back row setting up Picture Keepers, and of course, he saw Damian, the Vileli couple, Elizabeth, and beside her, Alicia, who seemed particularly fidgety, holding the slightly trembling Emhardt, as well as the empty seat next to Elizabeth.

On that seat was written his own name.

His heart stirred slightly, yet at this moment, he felt that it wasn’t a trap; who would sit in a trap so silly right beside Elizabeth?

Perhaps, the seat was genuinely reserved for him, allowing him to sit up front at the funeral.

What a pity, he could only stand on the second floor, observing all this in hidden silence.

"Now, let us mourn the great Helson Laczette with the utmost sincerity, praying that he may rest eternally in peace under the Mother Goddess’ radiant light..."
