35. E—m—i—l—i—a—
The entire morning that followed was relatively calm for Evelyn, but one thing puzzled her: Emilia always seemed distracted for some unknown reason, occasionally glancing out the window, making Evelyn feel that something was amiss.
However, when Evelyn asked her what was wrong, Emilia seemed unwilling to share, using various excuses to brush it off, leaving Evelyn totally baffled.
But if she didn’t want to talk, then so be it. It wasn’t really Evelyn’s business anyway; after all, it couldn’t possibly be her spreading that rumor from this morning, right?
Ha, how could that be? Angels always value their reputation; Emilia couldn’t be bored enough to spread such absurd rumors! Besides, she had practically spent all of yesterday with Evelyn, so how could she have found the time to spread that detestable rumor?
Thus, holding onto these thoughts, Evelyn passed the entire morning peacefully.
Until—
“Hmm? Teacher Jiang, did you need something from me?”
After the last class of the morning, our Devil Miss was called to the office by her homeroom teacher, staring at the oddly expressioned Miss Jiang Mengyun, who seemed hesitant and unsure of how to start. Evelyn tilted her head in confusion.
“Uh, cough, it’s not a big deal really, it’s just… Evelyn, even though I don’t have the authority to manage your private life, I still want to offer you a couple of suggestions…”
Private life?
What are you talking about, Miss Jiang?
Evelyn’s expression of confusion deepened after hearing Jiang Mengyun’s words.
“Wha… what did I do?”
“Ahem… I don’t mean anything bad, I just want to remind you, Evelyn, that you and Emilia are still young, and there’s a long road ahead! Things are different here than abroad; you should prioritize your academic studies! Even in those kinds of things, you need to practice moderation. If you go too far, it might not only affect your class performance but also your mental and physical health…”
‘???’
No, sister.
What are you talking about?
Evelyn couldn’t understand, but she was greatly shocked.
What does it mean to keep moderation in those kinds of things? What exactly are “those kinds of things”!?
Sure enough, our teacher Jiang Mengyun was still too young and overestimated the purity level of the Devil Miss in this regard. Faced with her almost explicit hints, Evelyn still just stiffly nodded, her light purple eyes filled with ignorance and innocence.
“And also, although there are no explicit rules against romantic relationships between girls in our country, most people from the older generation hold onto outdated values… Hence, Evelyn, you need to carefully consider and think twice about matters of the heart…”
‘???’
To be honest, the homeroom teacher finally said something that Evelyn could understand, which made her quite happy. But… Miss Jiang, don’t you want to pay attention to what you’re saying!!!
Matters of the heart? Romantic relationships between girls? What is going on here!?
Although Evelyn, as a former boy, even believed her sexual orientation was likely bent, how could the progress be so fast when it comes to Miss Jiang? Does she really think I am in a romantic relationship with that scheming angel Emilia!?
“Miss Jiang! Listen to me! It’s really not like you think! Emilia and I are completely innocent…”
Evelyn was anxious and wanted to explain. But clearly, some things couldn’t be easily clarified with just words…
“I’m not criticizing you, Evelyn. I understand that girls like you in your youthful stage yearn for love, so there’s no need for you to hurriedly deny it. I understand, but consistently denying it will only make it harder for you to recognize yourself, and that won’t be helpful for your future growth…”
Clearly, our dear teacher Jiang Mengyun has entirely locked in the idea of a relationship between Evelyn and Emilia in her mind. Upon realizing this, Evelyn felt deflated, but she didn’t understand why the usually reasonable teacher would believe such baseless rumors when neither she nor Emilia had ever stepped forward to confirm it…
Wait, something seems off?
Reflecting on Emilia’s clearly guilty expression from this morning, Evelyn’s expression suddenly darkened. Every action has its reason; if she wasn’t mistaken, that detestable angel Emilia was most likely the real culprit behind this rumor.
And verifying this speculation was simple; all she needed to do was…
“Teacher Jiang, could you tell me who informed you about this?”
Evelyn raised her head, looking pitifully at Jiang Mengyun.
“Hmm? It was Emilia. She told me she had an urgent matter when she asked for leave last night, and when I pressed her on what it was, she mentioned her relationship with you…”
Miss Jiang Mengyun’s cheeks flushed slightly, recalling the gesture Emilia had made toward her last night, she couldn’t help but exclaim: it’s so open abroad.
“Relationship, what relationship?”
“She said… she planned to do those things with you at night…”
As she spoke, Miss Jiang demonstrated again the gesture Emilia had shown her last night.
Evelyn: …
“Okay, I got it. Thank you for the reminder, Teacher Jiang. I will pay attention…”
Since it was already clear who the mastermind was, Evelyn felt there was no need to waste more time. After all, it was no longer possible to clarify things; it was better to quickly send Teacher Jiang away to “thank” a certain black-hearted angel.
“Oh, alright, then Evelyn, you may leave.”
“Okay~ Bye, Teacher!”
Evelyn forced a smile as she exited the teacher’s office, but the moment she closed the door, an incredibly powerful and violent magical energy erupted from her body.
“E—m—i—l—i—a—”
Evelyn ground her teeth in anger, itching to rush back to the classroom and give Emilia a good beating.
Don’t think just because Evelyn has a timid personality, she’s merely a victim to teasing. As the saying goes, even a rabbit will bite when cornered! If you truly push Evelyn to her limits, she… she… she will bite back!!!
Awoo~ (super fierce)
However, when Evelyn angrily returned to the classroom, our dear angel had already vanished without a trace. Clearly, the moment Evelyn was called away by Jiang Mengyun, Emilia knew her cover was blown and had prepared to escape well in advance.
Of course, this wouldn’t stump our brilliant and mighty Devil Miss.
After all…
Could she run away from the first year and run away from the fifteenth?
