Konoha: Naruto will win no matter what choice he makes! Chapter 052

As for whether Viter and Robert went to the library and finished their homework there.

Dark was merely slightly puzzled, but he didn’t intend to delve deeper.

Holding nine flower cards gave him more leeway in controlling [Bliss], but if these flower cards were indeed made by Professor Kazel, he wanted to understand and master the method of their creation!

On one hand, it was for a stable source of flower cards.

On the other hand, he was very curious as to why these flower cards could absorb [Bliss]!

But if he were to directly ask Professor Kazel about it, it might seem a bit abrupt.

Dark pondered for a moment and soon remembered that he still had a Thought Bottle he hadn’t returned.

So he quickened his steps, preparing to go back to the dormitory first to retrieve the Thought Bottle.

…

Friday evening was usually the liveliest time in the common room.

Students released the accumulated study pressure from the entire week, and they didn’t have to worry about homework or class hours. After all, it was only Friday; homework could be done tomorrow, and class time was something to consider the day after tomorrow.

Even the common room of the noble house was no exception.

Dark weaved through the crowd, avoiding Diana’s gaze, which was like she was catching mice, and successfully slipped into his dormitory.

The dormitory was very quiet, showing no difference from before he left.

He closed the door, turned on the light, and walked towards the desk.

The Thought Bottle was in the desk drawer, ready to be taken and left.

But just as he reached for it, he suddenly heard a meow.

This made him turn and walk towards the balcony.

“Did the Catnip wake up?”

He pulled open the door and looked down at the Catnip on the balcony.

Then came the silence.

…

On the balcony.

The Catnip was using its two paw pads to pull at the drooping Worm Branch, its pink little tongue licking the head of the Worm Branch back and forth.

The Worm Branch, which should have become very hard after three drops of [Pride] were injected, had actually turned back into a soft, floppy state!

[Wrath + 1]

He didn’t expect to earn it back in the afternoon, only to lose it again at night.

“Meow~”

The Catnip, however, was completely unaware that its master was already furious and out of control. It dropped the Worm Branch and trotted towards Dark.

The Catnip’s tail stem was still very long, long enough to reach Dark’s feet.

Dark squatted down, picked it up onto his lap, and wondered if it would be better to juice it or rub it tonight?

Then he suddenly noticed a faint mark on the Catnip’s forehead.

“Mark of Pride?”

Dark frowned, and the anger in his heart quickly dissipated.

After repeated examination, he confirmed that it was indeed the Mark of Pride, but surprisingly, the Catnip didn’t show the “pride” that Impmon and Eevee did.

“Is it because it’s a plant?”

Dark fell into deep thought, letting the Catnip gently suck on his finger.

“Speaking of which, how exactly does a life form like Catnip exist?”

Dark’s eyes flickered, then he pulled [Pride I] from his card pack.

“Magic Summon!”

A dark golden orb of light flew out from [Pride I] and then merged into the top of the Catnip’s head.

But this magic card, which could induce pride, still produced no effect.

“I should check the library!”

Dark took a breath, put down the Catnip, and then moved the Worm Tree indoors.

Learn from mistakes.

Tomorrow, he would go to Traveler’s Street to buy a protective fence to separate the Worm Tree, and also get some furballs or something to amuse the Catnip.

Dark sat down to make notes, realizing he was busy again.

“Should I go to the library first, or find the professor first?”

“Professor first!”

“It’s not too late to go to the library at night.”

…

Professor Kazel was not in his office.

Dark then went to the laboratory.

Sure enough, he saw Professor Kazel making magic cards in the laboratory.

However, today he wasn’t making [Jack-o’-Lantern]; instead, he was using bandages and a mannequin to create [Mummy].

Dark thought about how to naturally introduce the topic, so he pulled out a White Datura flower card as he pushed the door open.

“Demon? Are you here to borrow the lab? The key to the lab next door is in the second drawer of the office.”

Professor Kazel seemed very focused.

Dark didn’t place the Thought Bottle on the experiment table until he had walked closer, saying, “Professor, I’m here to return something.”

“The Thought Bottle?” Professor Kazel looked back and smiled, “You can use it a bit longer.”

Dark: “No, Professor. I’ve already bought a Worm Tree.”

He thought of discussing emotions and thoughts first, then transitioning to the love divination cards.

But when Professor Kazel saw the flower card in his hand, he said without thinking, “What, are you also interested in this flower card?”

Dark’s heart twitched slightly, and he immediately said, “Yes, Professor. I’ve been wondering, does the so-called divination of this flower card involve peering into the realm of thought?”

Professor Kazel was slightly startled, then smiled even more brightly.

He put down his work, took off his lab gloves, and smiled, “I never expected your research into the realm of thought to have reached such a level.”

As he spoke, he turned back to the experiment table and extended his hand.

Just as Dark raised his guard, he pulled a flower card from a card pack on the shelf. The card was adorned with green roses.

Pure and simple green roses, carrying blessings for eternal youth, wishing for everlasting love.

A hint of tenderness flashed in Professor Kazel’s eyes: “Although this is just a small trick, there’s something in it that even I can’t fully comprehend. However, as long as the magic power is interrupted, it can be definitively separated from it, so there’s no harm.”

…

When Dark walked out of the laboratory, he had already given up on probing Professor Kazel.

Although he couldn’t confirm it yet, he had a feeling that Professor Kazel couldn’t be the true creator of the flower cards.

But Senior Lyon didn’t seem to be lying—in fact, he had no reason to.

“So, someone impersonated the professor to gain trust?”

Dark recalled the Disguise Card.

If the design within the Disguise Card was a skin suit extremely similar to a person, could one impersonate anyone?

This was both a hypothesis and an inference.

“Perhaps I can study the Disguise Card.”

…

Senior Pandora was teasing her Catnip at the counter—it was a chubby Chinchilla.

It’s a Chinchilla, not a mouse!

She used a small-range Mute Card around the Catnip to ensure its meows wouldn’t disturb the students in the library.

Dark always felt her behavior was abrupt; she had never brought her Catnip to the library before.

“Is it bait?”

As he thought this, Dark’s fingers unconsciously scratched the Chinchilla’s chin.

This Chinchilla had a scale on its chin, soft and warm, not at all rough.

“Did you buy a Catnip?” Senior Pandora narrowed her eyes.

Dark: “I bought a short-haired cat.”
