Four Split Personalities

Ask Sang Qiao himself...

Ask Sang Qiao himself???

Double Leaf mechanically turned her head slowly following the Book Spirit’s gaze. Her large, beautiful eyes looked blankly at the awkward expression on Frank Hughes’ face for a while before her cherry lips parted, letting out a clear and pleasant——

"What?"

"Uh, this..."

Motan awkwardly scratched the tip of his nose, nodding slightly to the girl in front of him whose facial expression was gradually losing control, her pretty face slowly twisting: "I didn’t expect that Rose Georgia would be you, Double Leaf."

"So you’re really in the same scenario as I am!?"

Double Leaf took a step forward, grabbed Motan by the collar with a grim expression, and shouted angrily: "Playing the role of that Sang Qiao or whatever?"

Motan lifted his hands with a wry smile, bowing slightly so that she wouldn’t need to stand on her toes to glare at him. He said helplessly: "Not to mention what ’scenario’ means, but according to what you and the Book Spirit just said, it seems I indeed was in the same place as you before, hmm, in White Cherry City of the Georgia Territory."

"What is going on here?"

Double Leaf, clutching Motan’s collar, turned to the Book Spirit with a fierce glare: "Why are this guy and I in the same story!"

The Book Spirit blinked and replied expressionlessly: "Did I ever say you two wouldn’t be put into the same story?"

Double Leaf: "...Damn."

Apparently, the Book Spirit had never said such things. In other words, her being in the same story as Frank Hughes was completely normal.

Which means—

"Frank and I both became the protagonists of this story called [Sunset Glow]."

The girl narrowed her eyes and spoke through clenched teeth: "And on top of that, I actually lost?!"

The Book Spirit immediately shook its head and corrected her: "Not at all, Lady Shuangye. As far as the outcome is concerned, both you and Mr. Frank accomplished what ’Rose Georgia’ and ’Sang Qiao’ were supposed to do. Moreover, what you did was much more excellent than those two original figures, so there is no so-called winner or loser. You both won, in a sense."

"I surpassed the historical Sang Qiao."

Motan gave Double Leaf a gentle smile and said with a chuckle, "And Double Leaf, you surpassed the historical Rose Georgia. That’s probably what the Book Spirit meant to say."

Double Leaf snorted, releasing his collar with an angry inquiry: "So then, what did the Book Spirit tell you as the ’goal’?"

"To safely escape from White Cherry City."

Motan completely ignored the first condition of the task he had just completed, saying out loud the speculative ??? content he figured out, then awkwardly scratched his hair with an embarrassed grin: "But unlike you, Miss Futaba, I think I gained a little advantage in this story, otherwise escaping under those circumstances would have been impossible."

Double Leaf furrowed her brows, suspiciously asking: "Under what circumstances? What circumstance are you talking about?"

"As far as I know, the historical Rose Georgia did not use any force other than the trusted aide."

Motan leisurely replied while adjusting his collar: "Because of this misunderstanding of Baghdad Alphonse’s strength, she failed to kill Sang Qiao and the group from Glittering City on the spot. Instead, they broke out of the city; but if I’m not mistaken, you, Double Leaf, just mobilized the entire city’s defense forces. Under those circumstances, it would have been impossible for me to escape like the historical Sang Qiao did."

Double Leaf coldly stared at her and said angrily, "But you still managed to escape."

"Yes, because I had previously read literature about this story, and luckily, because I resonated a lot with Angus Georgia, I read it quite thoroughly then."

Motan smiled calmly, appearing totally harmless: "So when informed by the Book Spirit that I was ’Sang Qiao’ and after hearing ’White Cherry City’, I quickly recalled that part and began taking steps to protect myself."

Double Leaf scrunched her nose, looking at him bleakly: "You... how exactly did you do it?"

"I simply connected with my guards emotionally a bit and found that doppelgänger who should have died in the Spirit Monster Wilderness."

Motan shrugged and said lightly: "It wasn’t very difficult, as that youngster resembled me quite a lot in both age and appearance."

Double Leaf extended her middle finger to adjust her glasses, continuing: "Then what?"

"Then I had him wear Sang Qiao’s clothes. After giving him a few simple instructions, I left the residence under the guise of that doppelgänger."

Motan candidly explained, leaving no stone unturned: "Next, I found a household across the street, stole some clothes, and made a simple disguise."

Double Leaf raised a hand to interrupt, frowning: "Wait a moment. You’re saying you changed your appearance, but my henchmen did inform me that everyone from Glittering City, ’including Sang Qiao,’ was caught, every single one of them!"

"Yes, exactly. After being in the Georgia Territory for so long, things like the number of people involved were never a secret."

Motan touched his nose with a somewhat embarrassed smile: "I had taken that into account, so before changing my disguise, I killed a reasonably healthy-looking man and swapped the doppelgänger’s guard uniform onto his body."
