Chapter 13 Silent Night
After Elus left, an unspeakable loneliness swept over Lonis.
She knew that Elus hadn’t done anything wrong… After all, it was herself who had insisted on being a boy.
But then?
Lonis had never thought about what it would be like after becoming a boy.
What identity would he face Elus with? Would he continue to stay by her side? Or would he leave.
In the past, Lonis had simply thought: it would be enough to become a boy, and everything would be solved.
But that thought was simply too naive.
In fact, if Elus had forcefully turned her back into a girl tonight, or even teased her with a small toy, Lonis wouldn’t have felt this bad.
Because that would have proven that Elus cared about her, and that she liked her as a girl.
But now?
Elus was just treating her with a lukewarm attitude, her expression as if she were dealing with a colleague she had to work with.
(Wuwu…)
(What should I do next?)
(Enjoy this rare freedom? Or…)
Lonis felt a little down, but she didn’t realize… that at this moment, Elus was also in a very bad mood.
…
…
(Hmph, damn you, you idiot maid, you’re getting ahead of yourself as soon as you turn back into a boy!)
Elus gritted her teeth, thinking with great resentment.
In fact, there was nothing wrong with Lonis turning back into a boy.
After all, it was her own idea to let Lonis turn back into a boy today… and Elus’s plan was to have Lonis not completely abandon being a boy, but also to accept herself as a girl.
Because only then could Lonis, this idiot, revel in shameful happiness and continue to develop in a “healthy” way?
However, Elus never expected…
It had only been a few hours since she had turned back into a boy, and this idiotic hero of hers…
Had actually gone to flirt again!
And the target of her flirting was that very beautiful orange-haired girl, that girl with a unique temperament.
How could this make Elus happy?
(Idiot maid, are you trying to start a harem for me again? Hmph… you really can’t change your nature, can you?)
Elus smiled coldly, a hint of coldness in her eyes.
She had known since the Land of Eternity that this idiot’s personality was very peculiar; she wanted to help every cute girl she saw, wanted to hug her, and take her home.
While this could be explained as universal love and kindness, it was also a symbol of a player and a harem king. If Lonis, this idiot, were allowed to develop further, the girls around her would only increase.
Therefore, such a thing must not happen!
At the very least, if it were a boy like Ruo Hui Gong, it would be fine, because Elus knew that Lonis’s sexual orientation was normal, and she would only like girls.
But that girl who came this morning was “Isumi”!
If she guessed correctly, this girl should be the ultimate trump card of Clearwater Academy, the first successor of Orange Abyss.
Hmph, maybe they would even act together later, carrying out some special mission.
And if Lonis was already showing strong interest in her now, if she couldn’t forget about her… what would happen in the future?
(Damn it, damn it, so damn it!!!!!)
…
Therefore, Elus was very angry at this moment.
She decided to leave Lonis alone for a while… If her guess was correct, this idiotic maid was actually very afraid of being abandoned by her, so she should realize her importance soon.
Of course, Elus was also a very smart girl.
She knew that if she left directly, Lonis might lose control of her emotions and do something excessive… It would be bad if she had to chase after the maid and end up regretting it.
But luckily, she could access Lonis’s perspective through the terminal.
This way, she wouldn’t be afraid of Lonis running around and doing irreversible things.
So…
“Mm, this should be about it. Let’s see what that idiot maid is doing right now.”
The black-haired girl opened the terminal, but she never expected…
That it was the orange-haired girl’s face that appeared on the screen.
——————–
…
Lonis also did not expect to run into the orange-haired girl here.
She was just standing on the mountaintop, saying nothing, doing nothing… but just by being there, the surrounding space seemed to be affected by her, becoming several degrees quieter.
…
“Mm, you actually came here?”
“Wuwu…”
Lonis blushed. After being abandoned by Elus just now, she was indeed very dejected and miserable.
But soon, a shameless personality of a boy emerged in Lonis’s heart.
(Hmph, does Elus, that black-hearted person, think she can abandon me just by saying so?)
Since Elus was treating her with indifference, she would harass Elus in her boy persona!
Force her to look at her directly, force her to be helpless, and force her to talk to her.
(Besides, didn’t Elus say she wouldn’t activate the toy tonight? So I’m not afraid!)
This was what Lonis thought, so she went to find Elus. However, the black-haired girl didn’t seem to be on the magic ship, so Lonis thought she might have gone to the small villa located on the mountaintop.
But Lonis also did not expect that the person standing near the villa was not Elus, but the orange-haired girl.
…
In this case, it would be impolite to leave, so Lonis could only step forward and say:
“Ah, thank you… Thank you very much for maintaining order this morning.”
“You’re welcome, as a member of Clearwater Academy, mutual help is expected.”
“Huh? You too? Are you a student at the school? I thought…”
Lonis was startled, and for some reason, this blindfolded girl gave her a very familiar feeling.
Moreover, even though she hadn’t made a move from beginning to end, Lonis felt that she must be a very powerful expert.
This cold tone was not the result of being unaccustomed to communicating with others, forming a poker face.
Rather, it was a kind of calm and ease forged through battle, remaining unfazed by anything.
Therefore, this morning, Lonis thought she was an adventurer from outside the school who had come specifically to participate in the Autumn Arts Festival, but if she was a member of the school…
“Sen-senior, which academy are you from?”
“Barely, I suppose it’s Ancient Academy.”
“Ah?!”
Lonis was startled, and the blindfolded girl lowered her head slightly and said, “However, I never attend classes at Ancient Academy, I’m just registered there.”
“Oh…”
“You did a great job with the activities, you were excellent.”
“Huh?”
Was she praising herself?
The blindfolded girl’s lips showed a faint smile.
And Lonis, who originally thought she wouldn’t smile… was somewhat mesmerized by this.
“Ah, um… thank you for the praise, senior. I actually didn’t help much.”
“Being able to adapt to ancient relics in one day is already very good.”
“Huh? You know me…”
“I’ve heard of the names of the junior students.”
“Wuwu…”
Lonis blushed slightly. Since the other party knew her name, she must also know that she was wearing a suit.
“Mm, although I want to tell you something, it’s not the right time at the moment, is it?”
“Ah? Do you have something, senior…”
“Mm, it’s not appropriate now.”
“Oh, right, I haven’t asked for your name yet?”
“My name is Isumi. Well then, see you next time.”
The orange-haired girl slowly turned around and left.
