City of Witches 1033

Chapter 1033 – #246_Count Cagliostro (7)

#1027

One.
As the ups and downs of life fluctuate like a storm, there were many times when I was forced to make a gambling choice, but Si-woo does not like gambling at all.

Let alone gambling, she has never touched stocks. If she had not become a witch and had walked the path of a mathematician as usual, all of her salary would have been poured into deposits.

Even after she became a witch, nothing had changed.

A stable-oriented petit bourgeois who does not show great greed.
That is the lifestyle Siwoo pursues.

That’s why, if she has no choice but to climb onto the gambling table.
If you have to throw a die with a 1 or 6.

Siwoo is thoroughly and perfectly prepared.

“Hey, who are you?”

Siwoo had arranged three things until he said this line by catching a witch pretending to be Count Cagliostro.

First.

That’s handsome
As a foreword, this was a dummy mine whose purpose was to fail.

Looking back at this impostor’s behavior so far, she was by no means a simple pinch hitter.

Not to mention his excellent political sense, he really tried to fuck Siwoo in various ways.

She is a prepared person, and not just a magician, but a person who is prepared in many ways.
Meaning

If Siwoo had presented the thesis from the beginning, the Count would have looked at the thesis with a more cautious attitude, just like when he tried to provoke Siu to reveal his true intentions.
If so, he would have noticed something suspicious and be careful in his words and actions.

That is why she clumsily buried a dummy mine called ‘Handsome Gye’ and buried a mine called ‘Thesis’ right below it.

As a result, the count lost the prudence he had shown at the beginning and laughed at Siwoo and proudly stepped on the next mine.

Anyone who thinks they have seen through one goal will be caught off guard the next.

“Are you done talking now? What kind of attitude is that?”

The count raises his double wick and widens his eyes.

Seeing her angry at Si-woo’s unreasonable attitude is enough to sting even Si-woo, who already knows that she is a fake.

“Smoke kills. But it’s already been uncovered.”

However, Siu was already convinced.

Second.
The key to discovering her identity and the thesis that was kept secret.

The trumpeted bait prepared by Siwoo with the help of the mamangs who make her chest magnificent is…
It was a plagiarized thesis made by receiving research materials of Count Cagliostro from the secretariat.

It was so skillfully mixed that it would go unnoticed unless it was the person involved.
However, it is a plagiarism paper made only for the person concerned to notice.

Siwoo experienced how sensitive the magic academia is to plagiarism.

Do you look at it with your own two eyes and pass it over casually?

This person in front of me is the strongest proof that Count Cagliostro is a fake.

“There is no count who plagiarizes his thesis and doesn’t recognize it. Unless you have dementia.”
“What?”

Saying that, Siwoo stretched out her right arm to the side, and at some point a red branch was in his hand.
The black armor realized in an instant with a clattering sound.

A distortion field begins to radiate around Siwoo, who has entered a perfect battle posture.

“Bloom.”

The third and final arrangement is coming now.

Count Yesod, Count Gemanai, Periwinkle, etc. Naturally made an appointment with the ‘Castle’ side, were waiting nearby, and sent a signal.

Now, all that is left for Siwoo is to deal with the fake, who has been caught, while he is desperate.

“All, all, you are sane now… !”

Waves of distortion fields rushing at Count Cagliostro, who was flustered and pale.

– Wow!

In the air, a white bulkhead appeared, and a barrier that glowed in seven colors appeared.
What responded to the attack was the necklace hanging around the neck of the fake count.

It was another defensive artifact that made it impossible to penetrate even with Siwoo’s Mystic Eye.
With this level of output and power, it must have been the coat of arms of Count Bondi.

It’s very solid.

The colorful colors became more solid as they were rubbed against the distortion field, completely protecting the count from Siwoo’s attack.

Even the fake count, who had been stunned by that appearance, regained his composure to some extent.

“You are completely crazy. I want to call someone Don’t think it’s going to go on like this.”

As expected, the fake count didn’t try to do something using the formal coat of arms.

He was only defending against Siwoo’s attack by relying on the automatically installed self-defense.

If the situation ends like this, it becomes a big problem.
This is the middle of the castle, and now this is the count’s mansion, so sooner or later, the great witches from the castle will flock to it.

While the evidence Siu obtained is only circumstantial evidence, the fake Count Cagliostro is actually exercising power.

The slightest suspicion is covered by power, and Siu will be banished from Gehenna at best, and imprisoned and imprisoned at worst.

However, if you can take off that ring, the ring of Nickelle, which can freely change its appearance, the words will change.

“Whoa.”

Siwoo quietly read the flow of magical power created by the seven-colored defense formula.
A defensive formula that constantly changes form and expression and is immune to basic interference.

However, it is meaningless in front of Siwoo.

In a much more pressing moment than this, Siwoo, who had been reading the enemy’s magic at the moment of his life, was no different from sitting still and solving a question paper about the defense formula of the artifact that changed according to the automatically built-in algorithm in front of him.

-Well, well, well

A necklace’s defensive formula that can be dispelled in an instant.
When the fake count looks at it and puts on a devastated expression.

“Let’s see your handsome face.”

Siu threw out his spear, concentrating the harvested distortion field at the tip of the red branch.

“Kyaaaaah!”

The fake count lifted up while covering his head involuntarily at the menacing attack.

– Ting!

A small sound came from her fingertips as the broken ring fell onto the table.
It was only the ring worn on the finger that was hit accurately with a spear strike close to an acrobatic feat.

“Ah… Ah…”

The camouflage power given by the ring disappeared, revealing the true face of the fake Count Cagliostro.

“Eh?”

Blonde hair and deep blue eyes that formed the shape of a bun like a flirty painting.
His appearance, crying and weeping, is no different from that of Count Cagliostro.

If there is something special, should I say that it is the feeling that the ‘atmosphere’ and ‘appearance’ that seem young now have been balanced?

“How dare you, how dare you do this…”

Even though she had removed the camouflage artifact, she wondered, ‘If Count Cagliostro had an apprentice witch, wouldn’t it look like this?’

At least she knew that a witch with a completely different appearance would emerge, or one of her exploits.

“Her mother won’t let her go…”

The false Count Cagliostro suddenly began to sob.

Mother?

This is completely unexpected.

She personally did a background check on her count, but this is the first time she hears that she has an apprentice witch.
Furthermore, there is no reason for her, as Countess of Gehenna, to pass the succession as stealthily as her exploits.

“… Who are you over there?”
“Now, until there.”

When Siwoo turned around at the enchanting voice behind her, it was just after the colorful group of lights had already filled the living room.

This dense magical power and profound magical movement that seemed to have no end.
Anyone who can use this level of magic must be…

Looking back, there is a real count who exudes a more mature atmosphere than the fake counts he has met so far.

“Nice to meet you, Baron Shin Si-woo. I am Tia Cagliostro. Oh ho ho!”

Now that I see it, the fake count was quite an actor.
When you see that the speech, way of speaking, and unique atmosphere of the real count I met for the first time didn’t feel awkward at all.

2.
Count Cagliostro sent all the people Siu had summoned, as if he had tricked them.

Thanks to that, the three of them had an interview with Count Siu and the fake Count.

“Now, should we formally say hello?”
“This is Cindy Cagliostro. Sniff.”

The identity of the fake count, whose disguise has been released, is Count Tia Cagliostro’s apprentice witch.

She glared at Siu with reddened eyes and pouted her lips.
In contrast, the Count sitting next to him was stroking Cindy’s head with a soft smile.

“What happened?”
“Originally, I was going to keep it a secret. When this happens, there is no way to hide it anymore. As you can see, Cindy is my apprentice witch, and I tried to lead the society management one last time before the succession. Ho Ho!”

To sum up the Count’s continued words, it seems that they have already switched like this several times in the past.
Of course, I’ve never had to change for a long time of 3 months like this time.

She said that she needed a separate class because she had to not only succeed as a witch, but also to hold the position of dean of the giant school called the Emerald Tablet.

“Before the succession, I wanted to show her mother something…”

It is said that the excessive desire and ambition that Cindy, who played the role of her count, showed towards the Hesed Society was, so to speak, ‘proof’.

It is a proof that she has completed her preparations as the dean of the Chesed Society, which is rising like a supernova.

Even if it is absurd from the position where her eyes are open and her nose is almost cut, it must be greed out of filial piety.

“I must have misunderstood.”
“No, it was a situation that could have been misunderstood… Most of all, I admire the courage and execution power of acting boldly for Gehenna.
But isn’t Cindy really smart? Ho-ho-ho!”

“… That’s right.”

To be honest, I was almost cornered.
If Siu hadn’t grasped the ring, she would have been deprived of the academy.

No matter how much she used Count Cagliostro’s intelligence, personal connections, and yellow press, she had a skill that would be hard to believe for an apprentice witch.

“Anyway, now that it’s like this, I’ll have to deal with it from now on. Ho ho ho! Is the baron much more handsome in real life?”
“Yes?”

“Didn’t you tell me to tame the baron today? Oh ho ho ho!”
“Mother… !”

Light jokes come and go and the atmosphere is good, but…
Siwoo was not at ease.

In other words, this gamble turned everything upside down.

However, since it turns out that Count Cagliostro’s identity is not a spy, if the count carries out Cindy’s plan intact, he will be cornered again.

Knowing that, Count Ji smiled leisurely and crossed her sleek legs proudly.

“Hey, where can we talk?”

Besides, that opponent was the real Count Cagliostro, who must have been much older than the apprentice witch.
After defeating the fake boss, the real boss appeared.
