Lil 'Red's eyes were filled with envy and anticipation when she saw the dog attendant obtain the log-in device.
Luigi didn't let her down. He took out a pair of red fox ears from his space storage and handed them to Little Red.
"These are Crimson Fox Hair Clips. I picked them out for you."
Luigi carefully selected the hair clips for Little Red. Since Little Red always wore a fox mask, it was a perfect match for the hair clips.
Canine Deacon felt a little jealous when he saw the gift. Compared to his red flower earrings, the Crimson Fox Hair Clips were much more complicated.
However, even though the recipient of such a painstaking hairpin registration device, Little Red, appeared to be very happy, she seemed to have something to say but was hesitant to do so.
Little Red was a child, and her thoughts were written all over her face. Even if Luigi didn't ask, he could tell that Little Red didn't like the clip as much as he thought.
Luigi thought for a moment before asking, "Do you not like the red fox hair clip?"
"Thank you, Mister Harp. I like it very much." Little Red glanced at Angor from the corner of her eyes before she continued, "But I like the Cat Hair Clip better than the Fox Hair Clip … This way, I can keep Mister Kitty company."
Luigi and Canine Deacon didn't know what to say.
They thought Little Red would use the clip to express her taste, but it turned out that she just wanted to wear the cat ears with Angor.
This sounded like child's play, as if they were playing house.
However, when he thought about Little Red's young age, her childish behavior didn't seem to be unreasonable.
As Luigi and Canine Deacon looked at each other, Angor, who had been silent all this time, suddenly walked to Little Red.
He crouched down and looked into Little Red's eyes. Under Little Red's curious gaze, Angor asked, "Do you really want to keep me company, or … do you want to keep 'it' company?"
Apart from Little Infrared, everyone else was puzzled by Angor's question. Even Canine Deacon, who knew Little Red the best, was looking at Angor in confusion. Who was he referring to?
Little Red looked up and blinked at him. "How did you know, Kitty?"
Little Red's words proved that "it" really existed.
This made everyone even more curious. If this "it" wasn't imaginary, then who was it?
The dog deacon instinctively wanted to use its mind-reading ability to see what Little Red was thinking. However, when it saw Luigi and Angor standing beside Little Red, it decided not to do so.
Even though he could precisely control himself and only read Little Red's thoughts, this was something that was difficult to explain. If he was misunderstood, that would be bad.
Moreover, since Lil 'Red had admitted it, she would not hide it from him. He would just listen to her.
Angor chuckled. "Because you peeked at me when you answered Luigi's question."
"You're looking at me, but I can feel that you're not looking at me. You're looking at … Cat Ears."
He pointed at the "cat ears" on his head.
Little Red faltered for a moment before a look of realization appeared on her face. "So that's how it is … Big Brother Kitty is really observant."
Hearing Little Red's words, everyone finally understood that Angor was referring to Cat Ears' original body. Still, it was ridiculous that Angor could tell that Little Red was looking at someone else just by looking at her eyes. Still, they had to admit that Angor's observation skills were very good.
But … was he really observant?
Of course not.
Angor did notice that Little Red's eyes were a little unfocused when she peeked at him. However, if he really wanted to use this chance to confirm that Little Red was looking at "someone else", he didn't have enough evidence to do so.
The real reason why Angor could tell so quickly was because of his Beyonder Perception ability.
Maybe because Little Red was still a child, her emotions were very pure. So pure that Angor felt like he could read her mind when trying to read her mind.
Combined with Little Red's eyes, Angor could tell that Little Red was telling the truth when she said "I'm with Kitty". However, "Kitty" wasn't referring to him.
Angor was still confused. What did Little Red see in the "cat ears" when she looked at him?
Maybe because everyone was looking at her, Little Red felt a little embarrassed and kept rubbing her hair.
After a while, Little Red explained in a low voice, "I hid something from you …"
Earlier, when Angor and the others were on their way to the Doghouse, Little Red used her special ability to read something from Angor's cat ears.
At that time, Little Red told Angor that Angor smelled "cake".
This information was true. When Angor was affected by Wicked Witch's Blessing, his mind wandered to the "Orc Food Garden", and he saw many orcs making cakes.
Little Red's ability to tell the taste of cake from cat ears was enough to prove how unique her ability was.
However, the information that Lil 'Red had analyzed back then was not only about the "cake". There was also another piece of information that she had concealed.
"Analysis No. 2536.
”
Little Red categorized the smells she smelled. For example, Analysis No. 231 meant "lost", Analysis No. 937 meant "tamed", and Analysis No. 2536 meant "lonely".
Lil 'Red rubbed its nose. "I hid this information because it didn't want others to know about its loneliness."
Loneliness had different types. Some were outward loneliness, while others were inward loneliness.
What Little Red smelled from cat ears was a kind of inward loneliness. It was lonely inside, but it didn't want anyone to know about it. It wanted to pretend that it was happy and normal.
This kind of inward loneliness was like a clown in a circus. To outsiders, the clown looked funny and cheerful. However, no one knew whether the clown's mask hid a heart that matched his appearance.
Cat ears was the same. No one could understand its loneliness, and it didn't want anyone to know about it.
After Little Red analyzed the information, she followed "its" idea and hid it from Angor.
Now that Angor pointed it out, Little Red finally revealed what it was trying to hide.
It wasn't that Little Red didn't like the crimson fox hair clip. It was just that her idea was simpler. She saw how lonely "it" was, so she wanted to use some of her own methods to accompany "it" so that it wouldn't feel lonely.
This kind of companionship was probably useless. After all, Angor only got a pair of ears, and they weren't permanent. They would disappear after a while.
How could ears feel "companionship"?
Even though Lil 'Red had given an explanation, to the others, Lil' Red's request was inconceivable and incomprehensible.
At the very least, in Luigi's opinion, although Little Red's explanation was clear, there was really no need to custom-make a cat ear hairpin.
However, Luigi didn't say no. He was right beside Little Red, and as the creator of the login device, it was only a matter of time before he decided to change it.
Seeing Little Red's innocent look, Angor considered for a moment and took the hair clip from Little Red's hand.
Under Little Red's puzzled gaze, Angor asked in a small voice, "What kind of hairclip do you think will make" it "feel less lonely and more companionable?"
As he spoke, he also released a small ball of illusion energy from his finger.
The magic air mass was connected to Little Red's forehead. As long as Little Red thought about it, the magic air mass could change its shape.
Angor wanted to use the magic air mass to ask Little Red to design a hairclip that would make "it" feel more comfortable.
At first, Little Red was still a little confused, but as she thought about it, the Illusory Magic Airmass changed its appearance, and she slowly understood the function of the Illusory Magic Airmass.
"Can I design my own cat ear hairpin?" Little Red looked at Angor while manipulating the illusion aura.
Angor nodded with a smile. "Of course."
Little Red didn't know if Angor had the right to decide the appearance of the login device. However, Angor's gentle and firm answer convinced her to trust him.
Little Red became more serious after hearing Angor's answer. It began to design the cat ear hairpin in its mind using the magic aura.
While Little Red was working on the hairclip, Luigi asked through the Spirit Bond, "Is this really okay? Will it be troublesome? "
Angor shook his head. "It's just changing the appearance. Not at all."
As for why Angor was willing to cooperate with Little Red, it wasn't because Little Red could really make "it" feel less lonely. He just didn't want to see Little Red's disappointed look.
Angor was willing to show his kindness to such a naive, kind, and adorable child.
Besides, Little Red chose the hairclip so that "it" wouldn't feel lonely. And "it" was still lodging in the cat ears on his head. In other words, Little Red was working hard for him.
How could Angor break Little Red's heart?
If he could comfort Little Red with just a little effort, why not?
…
While Angor was talking to Luigi through their Spirit Bond, the canine deacon was looking at Angor with a curious look.
Canine Deacon didn't say anything earlier, but it saw everything that happened.
Before Angor said anything, Luigi seemed to be in charge of everything, as if he already had the right to distribute the login device.
However, when Angor stepped forward, Luigi clearly showed signs of backing down. This meant that Luigi believed that Angor should have the final say in the distribution of the login device.
As for Luigi, his every word and action represented Laplace, who was behind him.
Luigi's backing down, especially in front of Laplace, meant that Laplace also admitted that Angor had absolute control over the distribution of the login device.
This indirectly proved that Angor was the true owner of the login device.
Even though this was only a piece of evidence and there was no actual evidence to back it up, based on the dog deacon's understanding of Laplace, it was basically certain that this information was correct.
In other words, Angor was the one who created the Dream Crystal by combining "dreams" and "consciousness"?
Canine Deacon was very curious about Angor's identity.
Not only was Angor's identity curious, but also why Laplace was willing to cooperate with Angor.
Just like how Laplace owed the Wise Lord a favor, did she owe Angor a favor as well?
Just as the Dog Deacon's mind was filled with all sorts of thoughts, a voice suddenly appeared in its mind.
"I see a lot of questions in your eyes." The cold voice sounded a little apathetic.
The dog deacon was no stranger to this voice. It raised its head and looked at … Laplace, who wasn't far away. And Laplace was also looking at Canine Deacon.
Without a doubt, it was Laplace who spoke to Canine Deacon.
Canine Deacon was hoping to talk to Luigi and Laplace privately. But now that Laplace actually did, Canine Deacon didn't know what to do.
After a while, Canine Deacon finally calmed down and used the "beacon" Laplace left in Canine Deacon's mind to convey its thoughts to Laplace.
Laplace wasn't surprised by Canine Deacon's question.
She sent the message because she noticed that Canine Deacon was staring at Angor. She knew Canine Deacon couldn't read Angor's mind, but she still sent the message anyway.
She wanted to help Canine Deacon, but she also hoped that Canine Deacon wouldn't try anything funny.
Angor had a lot of secrets. It wasn't that Laplace didn't want to know. She also knew that the more she knew, the more dangerous it would be.
She had a feeling that Angor was hiding a great secret. If the secret was exposed, it would not do her or Canine Deacon any good. It would only bring them endless danger.
If Laplace could sense danger from someone as powerful as herself, Canine Deacon couldn't just ignore it.
"Yes, Angor is the one who created the Dream Crystal, and the Dream Crystal is related to him as well. But I'm also very close to it. You'll naturally understand this once you enter the Dream Crystal Plain. "
"As for Angor's identity, I can't tell you that. And I hope you won't think too much about it. It'll only do you more harm than good."
Canine Deacon already knew Angor's identity, but Laplace didn't know anything about it yet. She wouldn't tell Canine Deacon about it.
Laplace's answer helped Canine Deacon a lot, but Canine Deacon also understood what Laplace was implying.
Angor's identity was indeed unusual.
And with his identity, he would be in danger if he were to be probed. This surprised the dog deacon, but it also made sense.
If Angor was just an ordinary wizard, Canine Deacon wouldn't think that Laplace would treat him so politely. But since Canine Deacon already knew about Angor's identity, Canine Deacon could understand why Laplace and Luigi treated him so politely.
Of course, this was only the dog deacon's opinion, and there was a certain degree of deviation.
Laplace and Luigi didn't treat Angor so politely because of Angor's identity. It was because there was something between them that Canine Deacon couldn't understand.
And the one who witnessed this binding was none other than the will of the Mirror Domain.
