Chapter 152: Miracle of Love
Fisher led the Jasmine behind him out. From afar, he gazed at the Meeting Building where the incident occurred at the time. The Nari police had already sealed off that place. They also brought a construction team to chisel through the ground of the first floor inside, discovering the Ultra-Ring magic engraved inside the water supply pipes.
But ever since Fisher destroyed that magic from within, it had become blurry and unclear. Evidently, it had already lost its original efficacy.
Based on Prince Lausanne's description, the Nari police roughly characterized the case as a terrorist attack spearheaded by the evil cult organization, Witch Research Society. They also wrote this conclusion in the case file to report to the Parliament. Only like this did the meeting within the radio this afternoon come about.
Tomorrow, the New Party would still hold a press conference. After all, the authorities hadn't responded these past few days. The Nari media were entirely catching wind and grasping shadows; all sorts of outrageous reports had come out.
For example, a certain newspaper stated this attack was because a certain Schwalian scholar coveted the beauty of a Nari official gentleman, and so released magic to lock everyone up, blah blah blah... In short, all sorts of outrageous speculations flew everywhere in the sky.
This was still to thanks to the New Party carrying out Liberalism policies from the market into other domains. Therefore, the Nari media frequently made astonishing words. If they knew they couldn't speak lies, there wouldn't be so many media outlets reporting scandals regarding sea monsters and popular female stars every year.
Carrying his Walking Stick, Fisher asked the Jasmine behind him like this,
"For this time, how about I designate where we go eat?"
"Mn! As long as it is given by Professor Fisher, I will properly eat it all."
The moment she heard there was delicious food, Jasmine's eyes lit up. At first glance, she was especially looking forward to the subsequent dinner."..."
For the races that worshipped Ramastia, food seemed more like a cycle of life. Although it was a cycle, it was also an indispensable and important link. Therefore, they supremely respected food; not the slightest sign of waste would appear. This was also why she could speak this kind of easily misunderstood string of words.
The reason why Fisher stated he would designate where to eat was because Fisher wanted to go check out Karolina and Lausanne's matter. After all, he had promised her that he would guarantee she could retreat unscathed after the matter concluded. If she truly had no way to seduce Prince Lausanne, then his clue regarding the ruins would also be washed down the drain.
Fisher planned to go to a restaurant next to the St. Nari Opera House to eat. In any case, the time for the theatrical play was fixed. When the time came, he'd just look at the development of those two.
He boarded a carriage with Jasmine at the doorway. Originally, the Saint-Nazareth police wanted to seal off the school, but under Prince Lausanne's suggestion, they canceled this idea.
There was basically no difference compared to the situation of leaving the school to buy Magic Materials before. Merely, knowing that they were heading straight for a restaurant this time, Jasmine was so happy she sat in her seat with her legs swinging back and forth, exactly like a kitten swaying its tail while waiting to be fed. Both were extremely delighted appearances.
In Fisher's imagination, the Whale-kin in the trench just lay on their stomachs in front of their houses every day. Perhaps they would go out and interact sometimes. But aside from Jasmine's mother and aunt, none of them liked moving much. They just waited for every once in a while when other Ocean Demi-Humans above threw fish down, and then they'd stretch out their mouths to catch them?
That picture was too beautiful, and somewhat hard to accept.
Fisher guessed there should be specialized people down there collecting those falling fish, and then distributing them to every Whale-kin who didn't want to move a muscle.
This begging-style way of living was obviously not right. Moreover, the reason why they continuously stayed in the vicinity of Ramastia wasn't clear either. If it was merely because they could hear Ramastia's voice that they continuously lived in the trench, this reason fundamentally couldn't hold its ground.
Fisher further suspected that their Whale-kin race residing above Ramastia's trench definitely had another purpose. It was just that Jasmine was unclear of it, or unwilling to tell him, this human.
Bearing such thoughts, Fisher and Jasmine only alighted the carriage when they reached the vicinity of the St. Nari Opera House.
Because of the reason that the Gothrin Festival had just recently passed, many Golden Crests celebrating the Gothrin Festival were hung in the streets. Saint-Nazareth commoners came and went on the streets, wearing happy expressions on their faces. The Gothrin Festival was an important annual festival in Nari; it commemorated the birthday of Godlin I. Many shops and venues would offer discounts.
It seemed the Pink Pavilion also joined in the fun and created discount packages.
Fisher first mailed out the letter for Elizabeth. He subsequently prepared to take Jasmine to try out Schwalian dishes. After all, they had just met with the Schwalian scholars recently. Coincidentally, there was also a pretty good Schwali restaurant in the vicinity of the Opera House.
Schwali's palate leaned towards heavy. Various dishes also possessed a sort of smoky and fiery feeling, echoing their nation's nickname, the "Kingdom of the Sun," from afar. Fisher loved returning to eat it when he was young, but right now, he could only get used to eating the food Masha made.
Therefore, Fisher merely stopped after a brief attempt, letting Jasmine eat with all her might.
Forgot to mention, one major characteristic of Schwalian cuisine was that the portions were large and filling, with high quality and cheap prices. This was a money-saving method Fisher thought up. Otherwise, eating the delicate dishes of Kadu and Nari with Jasmine's food intake would directly eat Fisher into poverty.
"Is it delicious?"
"Wu..."
Jasmine raised her head from a Schwalian super-sized steak. Her cheeks were bulging, exactly like a hamster celebrating a festival. That cute appearance made Fisher smile. He passed the napkin beside him over for Jasmine to catch.
Waiting until Jasmine finished chewing her food, she finally wiped her mouth while blushing quite a bit.
She had heard Milika and Isabelle mention before that Nari ladies would maintain elegant movements while eating. However, Jasmine had always been unable to do so and didn't care either. Although Isabelle and Milika had said her appearance while eating wasn't ugly, at this moment in front of Professor Fisher, she suddenly paid mind to her dining etiquette.
Oh, incorrect. It was that she originally paid mind to it, but the food was too fragrant. As she ate and ate, she forgot...
Fisher reached out and requested another portion of mashed potatoes. Seizing the time while Jasmine was stocking up on goods, he cast his gaze outside through the glass. The time for the theatrical play wasn't far off right now. He was looking for Karolina or Prince Lausanne.
Without waiting for long, Fisher saw Karolina, clad in an elegant black lady's formal dress, standing beneath a streetlight hung with a Golden Crest. Her hands were clasped behind her back in a tranquil appearance, seemingly waiting for someone. Quite a few passing gentlemen cast their gazes toward her due to her beauty, not knowing who this beautiful lady was waiting for.
He didn't know where her clothes came from. Fisher took a bite of mashed potatoes, silently watching Karolina. Jasmine beside him also noticed Professor Fisher's line of sight, and naturally also saw that female standing by the roadside.
Hm? Was that the female attendant inside the magic at the time? She seemed to be a person sent by humans to protect that prince?
Not long after, Prince Lausanne, wearing a Nari suit, appeared on the street.
When he came previously, the attire he wore was Schwalian garb. It had a very large disparity compared to Nari's clothing. But his outward appearance was very good, so there was no sense of incongruity when he wore a Nari suit. Nari's clothing didn't highlight the figure, concealing Prince Lausanne's originally feral muscles a fair bit and making him appear gentlemanly.
Lausanne walked in front of Karolina and extended his hand toward her, wearing an appearance of wanting her to take it. But Karolina cast a glance at him and paid him no heed, heedlessly walking toward the Opera House on her own. Lausanne didn't get angry either, silently following behind her.
Not bad, Caro.
Fisher was unclear whether Karolina was playing her true colors, or if she knew Lausanne just ate up this set of behavior. Why did it feel like this appearance of hers, on the contrary, provoked Lausanne to like her extremely tightly?
"Are they... are they in love? An attendant, and a prince?"
Biting her fork, Jasmine similarly watched alongside Fisher string those two people walking shoulder-to-shoulder further and further away, wearing an appearance of binge-watching a drama.
But looking and looking, Jasmine still voiced a query. She knew there were divisions in status among humans. Otherwise, the other classmates wouldn't respect her roommate Isabelle in such a manner; even ordinary male classmates didn't dare approach her.
Because she was a princess of a nation.
Then by the same logic, a prince of Schwari also ought to be similarly noble. Why would he go on a date with an attendant?
Jasmine voiced this kind of query. After hearing it, Fisher blanked out slightly, because these words suddenly made Fisher recall himself and Elizabeth when he was at university. That was the story of an orphan and a princess.
Speaking to the end, he had also once hesitated due to their worlds-apart statuses. But ultimately, Fisher still drew close to her because of affection, and similarly distanced himself from her because of the disappearance of affection...
Looking at the masses in the distance, Fisher sighed with profound meaning,
"In Saint-Nazareth, stories of love are not a rare sight, and the rough frameworks of the stories are all consistent. They are tested by various sorts of setbacks, and also create miracles because of Firm And Unshakeable love. There is no standard format for falling in love. Love is the sole answer."
Mn, Fisher was explaining for Prince Lausanne why he would fall in love with an Artificial Witch. It should still be considered a reasonable answer, right?
Fisher didn't look toward Jasmine, but Jasmine was slightly touched by this sentence.
So Saint-Nazareth was a city brimming with miracles. Because love could overcome many difficulties, even statuses with such a massive disparity...
Then if it was affection, could it overcome the disparity between teacher and student? Could it overcome the difference between human and Whale-person?
Jasmine was unclear of the answer. She merely chewed the steak in her mouth, thinking like this.
Waiting until the three steaks brought up were eaten completely clean by Jasmine, Fisher had no intention of ordering yet another portion for her. She had truly eaten too much, and furthermore still had a somewhat unsatisfied feeling.
But the theatrical play was about to begin momentarily. Fisher also had to surveil the situation of that Artificial Witch the entire time. Therefore, he had no choice but to interrupt her eating.
He passed a school-issued paper voucher to Jasmine. This was a welfare benefit for the faculty and staff of Saint-Nazareth University. It was mentioned previously; in order to attract enough teachers to come over and teach, the Chancellor could be said to have exhausted all his skills. This was also one of the tricks. It was previously Roger who told him he could go claim them to use. He and Serena frequently went together to the Opera House to watch theatrical plays.
He could also save some later on to go watch a theatrical play together with Renee. However, he would just invite classmate Jasmine first today, counting it as an apology for before.
With a ruddy face, Jasmine accepted the paper voucher Fisher passed over. Following this, she straightened out the attire on her body, following him to head towards the Opera House together.
The sky was just darkening. However, beneath the streetlights, the Golden Crests, the symbol of the Gothrin Festival, still blew against the wind. The gentleman wearing a Gentleman's Hat grasped his Walking Stick. Trailing beside him was an exceptionally beautiful girl. They also jointly walked into that building flickering with lights up ahead.
