Chapter 178: Dekan Delivered A Mental Blow To Mauleon

Although Dekan’s delivery was completely new, Mauleon didn't quite believe that Dekan could just randomly promote a couple of girls.

Especially when evaluated from a professional perspective, Mauleon didn't find the singing of the first two girls outstanding.

Presumably, Dekan chose two girls with exceptional looks and he arranged the most suitable performance for them. He planned to impress the audience watching from the real world.

But, being in the Shadow World and listening to the town's broadcast, Mauleon could only appreciate the singing and was unable to see the scenes Dekan transmitted to the real world.

As such, he quickly realized the flaw of this girl group.

The two girls chosen by Dekan lacked singing skills.

"Dekan, you’re really treating me like a good brother. Are you bidding farewell to me with this song?"

Mauleon knew that Dekan playing this song in the city didn't hold much significance.

The only possible explanation was that Dekan assumed Mauleon would still stay in the city to investigate today and wanted him to appreciate the music.

After the individual parts of the first two girls finished…

The angelic voice of the third girl rang out…

Mauleon: "?????"

He was immediately stunned in place.

Mauleon's expression instantly went through several stages, becoming particularly complicated.

This voice… Mauleon was all too familiar!

Isn't this Flora?!

Mauleon exclaimed in his heart.

Did Dekan also trick Flora into singing and dancing?

Mauleon could already imagine how his innocent and lovely sister was easily fooled by Dekan.

But soon, Mauleon shook his head.

Though Dekan was shady, he didn't harm good people. Flora was very kind, Mauleon knew Dekan wouldn't bully her.

"Heh, you really set up a show for me. Unfortunately, it doesn’t affect me at all" Mauleon said with a sneer and began calming down. He proceeded to continue walking.

But…

Just as Mauleon took two steps, he furrowed his brow again.

He felt that there was something off about the lyrics of this song.

Dekan had chosen these three girls with clearly different styles.

As the second half of the song began, the solo verses in their lyrics addressed "you" differently.

The Ice Princess used the respectful term "mister," creating a bit of distance yet longing to get closer to the person she admired.

Judith, on the other hand, would directly call out "darling." There was no attempt to hide her intentions as she tried to move the other party with her passionate feelings.

As for Flora…

Her term of endearment for the person she admired was "big brother!"

The character she portrayed was like the high-status little-sister-next-door who wanted to control the person she admired with her own means.

"Oh, big brother~ I hate you the most! Liars should swallow a thousand needles, you know! ♫"

With Flora's line, Mauleon was no longer able to keep his composure.

"Dekan, you bastard! You did that on purpose!"

Mauleon raised both hands and held his head.

He suspected that these lyrics were definitely written by Dekan. Furthermore, they were a bit targeted.

Since when they were kids, Flora had never once said she hated him!

When he heard Flora say "hate big brother," he couldn't help but feel his heart twitch.

His mind was hit hard.

"No…”

Yet as Mauleon thought carefully, he began to realize that something was increasingly wrong.

His sister Flora was emphasizing the younger sister character in this song.

Although all the lyrics referred to the person she admired as "big brother," speaking ill of him, Flora sang the most malicious words in a sweet, charming voice!

It was not anger at all, rather she was acting coy!

Mauleon even noticed that some men on the road were starting to become infatuated with Flora's voice.

"She's calling me big brother!"

"Hehe, I really like her!"

It seemed that at this moment, Flora had gained quite a few "big brother" fans in the Shadow World.

Mauleon gritted his teeth to resist the urge to beat up all these people and walked quickly.

What truly pained him now was that Flora called others "big brother" and acted all cute like a little sister!

Just the thought of it made Mauleon's chest ache.

He didn't want this kind of thing!

"So this is Mr. D, the Cardinal of Pain?"

Mauleon covered his ears and quickened his pace once again.

He couldn't bear to listen to this song for another second.

---

As the carriage rode out of the city gates, the dusk had already overtaken the land.

The sun, about to set in the west, cast its final red light and painted the world that blended with dusk into shades of purple.

The shadow of the lord's carriage stretched long, mingling with the greatly distorted shadow of the city walls, forming an incredible scene reminiscent of a dramatic painting.

Dekan, Cornelia and Teacher Cat had already boarded the carriage sent by the lords.

They headed north, embarking on their journey.

"Hehehe. Mauleon, your Flora is really amazing," Dekan exclaimed with a careless laugh, listening to the song fading from the city.

"Have you noticed that your lines sound like those of a villain... meow..." Teacher Cat couldn't help but sharply criticize Dekan.

It felt that before, Dekan could at least pretend, at least most of the time, to be somewhat human. But now, Dekan was not even bothering to pretend.

With every Shadow World raid, Dekan became more and more unrestrained. These Shadow Worlds seemed to gradually be allowing Dekan to unleash his true nature. He showed the most real and free version of himself.

"I even asked the lord to have this song playing on loop in the city every day from now on, hahaha," Dekan said, shaking his head with a smile.

He couldn't control the corners of his mouth. It seemed like he was genuinely ecstatic.

He could already imagine Mauleon fleeing the city in the dead of night.

Furthermore, Dekan planned to have Flora portray the younger sister character again in a new song.

Once that song became popular in the Southern Countries, Mauleon would be able to hear it in the real world as well.

"You've been laughing since earlier, meow. Cornelia couldn't resist laughing along because you were laughing so hard..." Teacher Cat remarked, feeling that Cornelia was also being thoroughly corrupted by Dekan.

Clearly, she was the rare conscience of this team.

Con...science?

It seemed like she was the cruelest one when she got into action!

So, apart from Teacher Cat, there was only Croix as the team's sole conscience.

But just the thought of Croix joining the next Shadow World made the Teacher Cat very worried. It feared that Croix would also seamlessly integrate into the team.

"Mauleon, don't blame me, okay? This is to help Flora achieve her own dream. How could I be thinking about you all the time because of a bunch of [Goblin Gangsters]? Hehehehe," Dekan continued to laugh.

Cornelia also couldn’t contain her laughter.

"..."

Teacher Cat turned its head away.

It had started to feel sorry for its good friend Mauleon. "You two bros must have bad luck for eight lifetimes to end up meeting each other, meow…" Teacher Cat muttered quietly, then jumped into Cornelia's arms.

"Hopeless, totally hopeless, meow..."

In the midst of Teacher Cat's sarcastic remarks, Team Beautiful Heart’s third Shadow World raid came to a successful conclusion.
