CHAPTER 501: CHAPTER 19 CAMOUFLAGE COLORS

"Anvis... What are you trying to do? Let me make it clear in advance, if you want to share her with me, then forget it. I won’t agree!"

Harvey glanced at Anvis with caution, immediately voicing out to preemptively block the idea of sharing his girlfriend with Anvis.

"I’m not you... Harvey."

Anvis shook his head, speechless, and directly stated his purpose.

"I’ve discovered a small issue. The reason for your sudden infatuation with her indeed isn’t a Charm Spell, but rather some other factors.

So, I need you and her to cooperate with me and undergo some physical examinations. Of course, the process won’t harm you in any way."

"Other factors? Are you saying that she used some Secret Technique in an attempt to win my true heart?"

Upon hearing Anvis’s words, Harvey’s expression slightly changed.

"No, impossible, Anvis! I am certain that my mind has not been influenced by any magic."

"I didn’t say you were under the influence of a Charm Spell——"

Seeing Harvey instinctively defend the actress, Anvis shook his head in disbelief.

"The Dream Realm fluctuations emanating from her have reached a strange state of harmony with your mental frequency. It’s very likely that this is the reason for your infatuation, and my goal is to investigate the secrets of this state of harmony."

After hearing Anvis’s explanation, Harvey visibly relaxed.

"I knew it, how could my goddess possibly be that kind of person? Oh, she’s so pure and touching, like a holy Angel who has descended from the Divine Realm to the mortal world..."

"Alright, just be quiet now."

Anvis, with a headache, glanced back at Harvey, who had once again entered a state of besotted fawning, and picked up the Theatrical Mirror again, no longer paying attention to him.

At this moment, the stage play happening onstage also just reached its climax.

As the leading actress’s performance hit a spectacular moment, the stage lights suddenly went out, and the Opera House experienced a series of indiscriminate attacks.

The noble youth who was the male lead and came to rescue the leading actress was given special attention, struck by a chandelier burning with Dead Spirit Flames, his fate unknown.

In the ensuing chaos, a phantom wearing a cloak and a pale mask suddenly appeared, swiftly whisking away the unsuspecting leading actress.

"Oh! Damn it, let go of my goddess!!"

Seeing this scene, Harvey shouted out in agitation.

"No need for such clamor, Harvey, this is the Opera House."

Anvis glanced at Harvey and gestured for silence.

He had already familiarized himself with the content of the Opera,

Next, as the girl, carried by the phantom, escaped through the underground labyrinth, she did not resist at all, but earnestly expressed her feelings to the phantom.

She was grateful for what the phantom had done for her, but her true love was the noble youth who was the investor of the theater, and she pleaded with the phantom to let her go.

In the end, moved by the girl’s pleas, the phantom hesitated, and was then caught up by the male lead who was a Mage.

After a dazzling magic battle, the phantom pushed the girl away, was struck by Purification Magic, and dissolved into light with a hair-raising scream, leaving behind only the cloak and mask.

During the chase, the style of the stage music also shifted again and again, from the sudden intensity as if a storm was coming, to the soothing melodies as the girl uncovered her heart, to the rousing score of the final battle.

In the very last moment of the Opera, the reunited male and female leads passionately kissed and departed together. The last dim spotlight was fixed on the cloak and pale mask lying quietly on the ground.

Then, the grand curtain slowly descended.

While the two were kissing, Anvis glanced at Harvey and realized his current complexion was very similar to the phantom that had been purified on stage just moments before.

"Anvis, you must help me! At the very least, have her stop playing roles like this!"

Having endured until the end of the opera, Harvey gesticulated passionately toward Anvis. But as he spoke, he suddenly paused.

"Wait, no, could I play the male lead in this opera?"

"...As you wish, come with me now, I’ll take you to meet her."

Ignoring Harvey’s puppy-dog enthusiasm, Anvis slowly stood up.

He had already arranged for someone to give advance notice to the person in charge of the Opera House. With his identity, arranging a private meeting for Harvey with a female actress of no great fame was hardly a matter.

......

At this moment, the actors who had just finished their performance were resting in the backstage lounge.

Like the male lead who had just appeared on stage, the Great Mage, ghosts, and others, once the performance was over, everyone had taken off their specially designed magic costumes and sat in the lounge chatting leisurely.

However, the purple-eyed young girl who had just removed her makeup suddenly received a message from the person in charge - a mysterious noble guest wished to meet her alone.

Her companions glanced at her curiously. The girl herself was also surprised but immediately followed the direction of the Opera House’s manager and came alone to a small garden behind the Opera House.

At the edge of brushwoods bathed in the light of the dual-colored moonlight, the first thing that entered the girl’s sight was the back of a young man standing in the hazy moonlight, dressed in extravagant noble attire.

It seemed that he heard her footsteps, for the young man gently turned around. In his hands, a large bunch of Moon Shadow roses was blooming radiantly.

"Under the guidance of a noble destiny, I have the fortune to meet you here tonight. Hello, my beautiful lady...madam, my name is Harvey, may I get to know you?"

With that, Harvey knelt down before her on one knee, extending the bouquet of flowers to her.

"Ah, yes, I’m Rosina. May I ask the purpose of your visit...?"

Looking at Harvey, who was eagerly paying court, the girl seemed a bit overwhelmed, a scene that also fell into the observant eyes of Anvis, who was watching in secret.

"The influence of Dream Wave Frequency seems to be one-way. That girl, when facing Harvey, displays nervous and curious emotional fluctuations, entirely that of a common girl’s subconscious reaction when facing a strange noble.

An interesting result indeed...perhaps it’s a kind of protective coloration-like ability, to transform potential enemies into allies?

There are currently too few samples; it would be better to have several more sets of comparisons."

Lost in thought while sensing the fusion of their frequencies, Anvis carefully recorded the frequency information of the Dream Wave emanating from the girl, planning to conduct an experiment with Harvey later on.

What followed was unsaid; though slipping into a puppy-dog mode, Harvey was still Harvey and soon got the girl to let down her guard and began a pleasant conversation.

Half an hour later, with a reminder from Anvis lurking in the shadows, Harvey said goodbye to the girl with reluctance and assured her that he would come to see her performance again next time.

The girl thanked him in return, subtly indicating that she should have a performance next week and expressed hope that he would attend.

"Oh, Anvis, she’s such a kind girl, actually telling me the time of her next performance and even inviting me to watch! She’s so considerate..."

On the way back, Harvey began praising his goddess once more.

"Heh, Harvey, take a look at these first."

With a snide chuckle, Anvis took out three items.

A toy doll, a photo of a young man, and a dog.

What’s special is that all three items emitted Dream Wave Frequencies very similar to those of the female actress.

"Oh...Anvis, these things..."

Seemingly sensing something, Harvey’s expression suddenly changed.
