126: If We Don't Mention Height, We Can Still Be Good Friends
Seeing Lina before her about to continue spilling her embarrassing history, Evelia hurriedly stopped her in panic. She didn't even need to hear the rest to know what Lina wanted to say. This person before her was definitely Lina, no doubt about it.
"I told you I was Lina and you still didn't believe me. You just had to make me reveal your dark history, sister!"
Lina pouted, speaking to Evelia with abundant grievance.
"Sigh, Lina, I really didn't expect..."
Evelia walked several circles around Lina, who was now covered in question marks, and tugged at the pitch-black cloak on her body, speaking with considerable distress:
"I really didn't expect that you'd join the Descent Faction just to get revenge on Jasmine! You know full well what kind of freaks and weirdos are in there!"
"??? How did I become part of the Descent Faction?"
"You're wearing that signature black cloak of those Descent Faction guys, and you were secretly hiding in the Director's Office ambushing me. Isn't it because you joined them?"
"..."
Lina expressionlessly watched this "eh-heh" teasing lolita before her, then raised her small fist high in the air amid the other's terrified gaze, bringing it down without mercy on her head.
"Descent Faction! I'll give you Descent Faction! You've gone mad catching people, haven't you! The standard outfit for those (Church expletive) Church enforcers is black cloaks, you know!"
"Don't go treating every (*Church expletive*) black robe you see as those (*Church expletive*) from the Descent Faction!"
……
"So... you specially infiltrated the orphanage to search for things left behind by your adoptive father Howard?"
After some intimate "exchange" with Lina, Evelia sat properly on the Director's Office sofa with a small bump slightly raised on her head, speaking seriously to Lina.
"That's right! I'd already scouted the place two days ago. The only part left to check was this building. I originally thought with just this little space left, I'd quickly find the stuff today and hurry back to hide in the mansion. But who knew that Jasmine would actually show up today of all days! Hmph! Hypocritical woman!"
Lina complained to Evelia with a face full of resentment, her words not concealing her disgust toward her sister in the slightest.
"Um... actually, Jasmine is pretty nice..."
Looking at Lina's slightly darkened expression, Evelia really didn't know how to speak up for Jasmine. Lina's hatred for Jasmine had reached a level that was etched into her bones. Calling it hatred wouldn't be an exaggeration at all.
Lina had liked Jasmine a lot when she was little. This was unquestionable. But precisely because of this, however much Lina had liked Jasmine as a child, that was how much she hated her now.
This stemmed not only from Lina's disappointment in Jasmine's "craving for power and position," but even more from her despair at Jasmine's betrayal.
Only the one who tied the bell can untie it. I'm afraid only if Jasmine personally explains things clearly to Lina and resolves the misunderstanding will there be any chance for them to reconcile.
"Ha? She's nice? Evelia, don't be deceived by the facade she shows! That awful woman is better at disguising herself than anyone else. Believe it or not, if I carved out her heart, it would be completely black inside?"
Alright, seeing this, it would already be good if they didn't start fighting when they met.
"But speaking of which, since you didn't join the Descent Faction, why did you ambush me when I came in?"
Suddenly, as if remembering something, Evelia put on an appearance of wanting to settle accounts with Lina, questioning her angrily.
"Come on, my dear sister! You were facing away from me, you dyed your hair black, and you're wearing a nun's habit. Of course I'd subconsciously take you for an ordinary Church nun! Besides, I didn't intend to do anything bad to you, alright? Just cover your mouth, knock you out, find a place to hide you, and let you out when I'm done and leaving."
"Oh, I forgot about the dyed hair thing until you mentioned it."
"...So why did you come to the Director's Office, sister? Shouldn't the activity be starting right now?"
As she spoke, Lina jerked her chin toward the window.
"Oh right! I came to find a little girl named An An! I almost forgot about that!"
Evelia slapped her forehead. Due to being suddenly "attacked" by Lina earlier, she had actually forgotten the main business for a moment.
"So the 'squeak' sound from the door earlier was caused by you? Damn it, I thought it was that little one! No time to chat too much, Lina. I still need to go find someone! You'd better hide quickly too. Jasmine will probably come over before long."
Evelia anxiously got up to go find the girl, but the moment her hand touched the doorknob, she heard Lina speak with some confusion.
"An An? You mean... a girl with long black hair who looks a bit introverted and is about your height?"
"Hm? How do you know?"
Also, please remove the part about being about my height. Thanks.
Evelia muttered silently in her heart.
"I see. Then you don't need to go look. I know where that child is."
Lina held her forehead with a strange expression, speaking with some helplessness.
"You ran into her?"
"Yeah... Come on out, little An An. No need to hide anymore. This sister here is a good person~"
"???"
Amid Evelia's shocked expression, the cabinet below the bookcase on the right side of the Director's Office was suddenly pushed open from inside. A very timid little head tentatively poked out. The girl looked at Evelia with some fear, appearing as if she would immediately shrink back into the cabinet if Evelia took one more step closer.
"Wait, that cabinet can hide people?"
"Of course. To be precise... you just need to be a bit short. This little one's size is just right. It would be a bit cramped for me, and as for you, Sister Evelia..."
"Alright, stop talking. If we don't mention height, we can still be good friends."
Evelia depressingly sat back down. She couldn't figure it out. Her father Satan was clearly the standard two-meter-tall dragon-overbearing classic handsome man type. So why, after falling to become a demon through his power, did she end up with this kind of figure...
Not happy. Next time she went back, she wouldn't pay attention to her old dad.
"Lady Lina, is this sister also a nun?"
The little girl named An An slowly crawled out of the cabinet, looking timidly at Evelia, who was pouting and sulking on her own. She asked tentatively.
"Um... she, sort of is? But don't worry, this sister is a good person~"
"I saw... she came together with that white-haired big sister who looks a lot like Lina..."
"That woman... you'd best not get close to her. She's not a good person."
At the mention of Jasmine, Lina's eyes instantly turned cold. But even so, when mentioning Jasmine, she still hesitated slightly before slowly speaking.
