Four Split Personalities

Double Leaf also didn’t seem to want to dwell on the topic about someone, so she casually changed the subject: "Simply put, even if there’s a chance of us being thrown into the same story, I didn’t intentionally take you seriously, just acted on my own rhythm, and as a result... heh, you successfully fooled me."

Motan immediately shook his head and said with a wry smile, "I said before, the reason I managed to escape from your hunt, Double Leaf, was entirely because I had once heard about the assassination of Sang Qiao in the Georgia Territory, otherwise..."

"Although I’m a person who enjoys the ’process’, it doesn’t mean I don’t care about the ’result’."

Double Leaf impatiently interrupted Motan’s humility, waving her hand: "However, as far as the result is concerned, Rose Georgia in history messed up, and I too messed up, although not as badly."

Motan chuckled and shrugged: "So you’re saying, I ended up losing all my guards, doesn’t that make me worse than the historical Sang Qiao?"

"Yeah, you didn’t do well either, but you’re at least an opponent worthy of me taking seriously."

Double Leaf looked seriously at Frank Hughes in front of her, biting her lip with some sort of intensity: "Get ready, I won’t make the same mistake again."

Motan shook his head with a bitter smile: "If possible, I’d rather team up with you, Double Leaf, in Book Spirit’s story."

"Oh?"

Double Leaf glanced at Motan with a mischievous smile and said leisurely: "If it’s Frank Hughes, I’d be very welcoming, but wouldn’t you prefer to immerse yourself in a character instead?"

Motan cleared his throat and said with an awkward smile, "Am I that obvious?"

"When you just woke up, you were glowing."

Double Leaf covered her mouth and laughed softly, casting a charming glance at Motan: "Much more charming than your current miserable look."

Motan also laughed awkwardly, scratching his cheek with some embarrassment: "Because it really was a rare experience, and as a Bard, being able to personally experience an Epic..."

Frank Hughes showed a childlike dumb smile.

Double Leaf chuckled: "Was it awesome?"

"Yeah, totally awesome!"

Motan nodded vigorously.

The girl’s smile was like a blooming flower: "Was it really that fun?"

"Yeah! It was really fun!"

Motan clenched his fist and waved it with excitement on his face like a child.

"Tsk tsk, it’s fun, so do you want to play again?"

"I want to play!"

"If you want to play, keep your mouth shut and don’t let Diana know about this!"

Double Leaf tip-toed and lightly knocked on the back of Frank Hughes’s head, showing her teeth fiercely, "At least not before we squeeze out all the remaining value of that Book Spirit, don’t let Diana know."

Motan’s expression changed a few times, but in the end, he didn’t insist: "You must promise me not to recklessly try things that could harm you, even though I don’t understand magic... but Double Leaf, whether intentionally or not, if you get hurt even a little during your efforts, I’ll tell Diana everything."

Double Leaf rolled her eyes: "Who do you think you are to me?"

"You’re Diana’s apprentice."

Motan’s usually soft features on Frank Hughes’s face turned stern, and he said seriously: "I have to be responsible for your safety."

"Alright, then I’ll promise you."

"Let me say it again, I must... huh?"

Frank Hughes was halfway through his sentence when he suddenly widened his eyes, looking in horror at the girl in front of him who was lazily playing with her hair: "What did you say?"

"I said, I’ll promise you."

Double Leaf repeated casually, glancing at Motan with a smile: "What? Surprised I’m so easy to deal with?"

Motan said nothing, but his expression said it all.

"Relax, buddy."

Taking a couple of quick steps and twirling around effortlessly on the spot, the girl faced Motan, put her hands behind her back, and winked: "Do I really seem like someone whose brain is full of muscles, always thinking about getting stronger?"

Motan shook his head sincerely, indicating he didn’t see the girl in front of him as a muscle-brained fool.

"Breaking through to the Epic Tier is interesting, but the ’story’ of that Book Spirit brings me more joy. If I had to choose one, I naturally lean more towards the latter, since I will progress eventually anyway."

The bright eyes behind the glasses were full of sincerity, and when this beautiful girl mage, already petite in stature, deliberately put on an innocent look, the lethality was indeed substantial.

Honestly, if Motan didn’t know well the nature of the woman in front of him and hadn’t seen the reward of the ’Epic Tier career change clue’ in person during a mission, he might have believed it.

Of course, regardless of whether Motan believed it or not, Frank Hughes certainly had to believe it. So this man, who appeared even more harmless than Double Leaf, nodded gladly: "It’s a deal."

"It’s a deal♪"

Double Leaf, quite unusually, gave Frank Hughes a sweet smile, then suddenly changed her tone: "By the way, if the initial task you got, Frank... um, the goal given by the Book Spirit wasn’t ’escape White Sakura City,’ but ’kill Rose Georgia,’ what would you do?"

Motan was slightly stunned, subconsciously furrowing his brows, and muttered: "The initial goal... was to kill Rose Georgia?"

"That’s right."

Double Leaf nodded cheerfully, smiling: "I’d like to hear your thoughts."

"No clue at all."

After a brief contemplation, Motan shook his head forcefully and held out his hands: "As I’ve said before, even barely escaping from your blockade was thanks to knowing this story. To say that I could’ve killed Rose Georgia... to be honest, the more I know about the situation back then, the more clueless I am."

Double Leaf snorted softly, a trace of disappointment in her eyes.

"But I would still give it a try."

Then Motan added, and he laughed under the girl’s surprised gaze: "After all, what Frank Hughes couldn’t do, Frank Hughes playing ’Sang Qiao’ might not find impossible."

Double Leaf slightly narrowed her eyes and smiled playfully: "You’re way more interesting than I initially thought, huh?"

"Is this the reason Double Leaf changed her attitude towards me?"

Frank Hughes asked with a peaceful expression, as he quickly walked past Double Leaf, kicking aside a few stones that were in her ’retreat path.’

Clearly, Frank, who wasn’t low in emotional or intellectual intelligence, didn’t miss Double Leaf’s change in attitude after leaving the library.

In fact, Double Leaf hadn’t intentionally hidden it.

"You could say that. After all, I underestimated you before."

The girl frankly gave a positive answer while continuing to walk backward, looking at Frank’s back with interest: "Even though it wasn’t a fair story, no matter what, even if you used some sly means, you still delivered a result on par with mine."

After Double Leaf’s somewhat flattering words, Frank Hughes smiled sheepishly: "I’m honored."

"Don’t feel honored too soon."

Double Leaf also laughed, her bright eyes seemingly home to two swirling and chaotic Vortices: "If you aren’t interesting enough in the future, I’d be very disappointed. When I’m disappointed, my mood turns sour, and when my mood sours, the consequences are usually dire."

"Please don’t take me too seriously~"

"Too late, you’ve now been upgraded from recyclable waste to toy level, Mr. Frank."

"Haha, actually..."

"Actually what? Why are you laughing?"

"The way you make friends, Double Leaf, is a bit clumsier than you usually seem."

"Huh???
