Chapter 67: As Expected, Nothing Can Be Hidden from Teacher

Lynn crossed his arms, the corner of his mouth curling up, saying nothing.

Snap. Nanako’s ahoge stood straight up instantly. She glanced secretly at Lynn.

Disciple seems... to have many thoughts again...

Indeed. The fact that Disciple actively wanted to come along shows he cares about the Origin Source here. It seems that to solve the curse, I still have to start with Disciple!

[ Several Hours Later ]

Inside the Inn.

Nanako, having returned to her original appearance, quickly locked the door. She lay on the bed and covered herself with the quilt.

"If I ask Disciple directly, he will definitely suspect me."

Nanako’s brain spun fast. She said seriously: "Then, to find the method to solve the curse from Disciple... I can only start from Disciple's Other Identity!"

Correct! Nanako immediately thought of the Frost Ruler (Goddess) that her disciple transformed into.

Since she couldn't ask her disciple directly... Why not ask the "Frost Goddess" directly? After all, nominally, she was also her Teacher!

Saying that. Nanako closed her eyes, trying to clear her mind and enter a meditative state.

Then she chanted silently in her heart.

"O Great Frost Ruler, Nanako praises you, Nanako calls for you, Nanako requests to enter your great abode... asking for your powerful protection and pity!"

Yes. Last time she left, the Frost Ruler gave her a method to enter the Plane of Ice. That was to praise that Great Existence in her heart!!

But every time she recited these Chuunibyou lines, Nanako had to fight a long internal battle. Because every time, she would think of her Disciple's bad, improper smile.

Then the lines would become very strange in her head: "O Great Disciple, Nanako praises you, Nanako calls for you, Nanako requests to enter your great abode... asking for your powerful protection and pity!"

(▼ヘ▼#)

Really! Every time I have to struggle mentally for a long time before I can say it! Ahhh!!

[ Meanwhile: Another Room ]

Lynn, who was slouching on a chair like a corpse, suddenly paused. Then, his Loli Master's devout call echoed in his mind.

"O Great Frost Ruler, Nanako praises you, Nanako calls for you..."

Hahahahaha! (???)?

Sure enough. Exactly as I guessed. Loli Master is used to going to the Ice Plane to find her Teacher whenever she encounters something she can't solve!

That's a good girl! After all, with such a powerful Senior backing you, of course you should use it reasonably.

I really can't wait to see the expression on Loli Master's face after I reveal my identity!

Lynn smirked. Zip. His body vanished from the room instantly, reappearing in the Palace of Ice.

Wind howled. Snow rolled. Lynn immediately transformed into the Frost Goddess, sat high on the throne, and smiled faintly.

He snapped his fingers gently. Snap.

Nanako, who was in a meditative state, was instantly teleported into this Plane of Ice. Her petite body slowly appeared.

Before Nanako even opened her eyes, that great and elegant voice rang in her ears.

"Long time no see, Nanako. It seems your strength has improved greatly."

The voice was ethereal and distant. Nanako opened her eyes. She immediately saw the dignified and elegant Goddess sitting on the throne. Smiling, gentle, and holy. No matter how you looked at her, she was pure sanctity.

If she didn't know it was her Disciple's Alt Account (Sockpuppet)... Nanako would have almost been deceived by this image again!

Calm down. Calm down. Nanako, you can do this.

Nanako took a deep breath. Then she raised her head devoutly, looking with admiration in her eyes.

"Teacher, Nanako has been studying hard, striving to inherit Teacher's legacy. Nanako won't embarrass Teacher."

[ Inner Voice ] [ Hahahaha! Dog Loli, you finally have this day! ] [ Rise, rise. No need to be polite. It's the thought that counts. Hearing you say this, your Master is very gratified! ]

Nanako ground her teeth. Click click. Even the self-address has changed!

Lynn maintained that dignified smile and stood up slowly.

"Nanako, if Teacher guesses correctly, you must have encountered some trouble in the real world, right? Is it the Origin Source?"

Otherwise what?! Otherwise what?!!

Looking at the profound expression on this Goddess's face, Nanako wanted to scream. Disciple, you are right beside me! Don't you know already?!

But although she thought so, she couldn't show it on the outside. Nanako looked shocked. "Teacher, you... You know everything?"

[ Inner Voice ] [ Of course I know. Because I am right beside you. I am your beloved Disciple~ →_→ ]

[ Inner Voice ] [ No! Must be serious. Must appear profound. I need to deepen Loli Master's worship of me! ]

Nanako: "???!!!"

Lynn smiled gracefully. "Because I saw your heart, Nanako. You encountered an anomaly in Lakeside Town. Your companions were affected by the Origin Source. You want to help them return to normal. This worries you, so you came to seek Teacher's help."

"Am I right? Child."

The voice was so gentle, like a soft evening breeze. Combined with that ethereal image, it was indescribably mysterious and powerful. Like an omniscient and omnipotent God who knew everything in the world...

Nanako forced herself not to expose him and said with shock: "Yes... Yes. As expected, nothing can be hidden from Teacher's eyes..."

[ Inner Voice ] [ Of course! Of course! After all, your Master is the Great Omniscient and Omnipotent Frost Ruler! Hahaha hic! ]

[ Inner Voice ] [ Let me think. If I speak again now, my 'Style' (Bigger) will drop~ ] [ So what I should show now is... Hmm... ]

Then. A profound, unfathomable smile appeared on the face of the Frost Ruler (Lynn). That wise and tranquil expression seemed to say, "Words are unnecessary."

[ Inner Voice ] [ Let me turn up the Special Effects a bit~ ]

Instantly, the faint halo of ice behind Lynn became brighter and more dazzling. Elevating the Goddess's style to a higher level.

Seeing this, Nanako was stunned.

This... This... Dog Disciple, don't go too far! Nanako is holding back from laughing/exposing you with great difficulty! Don't challenge Master's limit!

"Child." The voice was soft and ethereal. "If you have troubles, speak them out. Teacher will always be the powerful Ruler standing behind you."

[ Inner Voice ] [ Correct. Correct. Disciple will always be the unattainable man standing behind you~ (Melancholy) (Sigh) ]

Nanako stared blankly.

This... This... I beg you... My cute Disciple... I know you want to maintain this profound image in front of Master...

But please, can you speak in a slightly normal tone? Master really can't hold it anymore... And if you didn't have so many atmosphere-destroying inner thoughts, everything would be negotiable!
