Chapter: Chapter 262
“Hmm, I have no impression of it,” Kira quickly gave her answer.
She had flipped through the translated version of the Demon race’s book of prophecies many times, and it did not mention anything that Bai Ling had described.
However, what was happening now seemed quite possibly related to the gods. Human books of prophecies should have recorded it, it’s truly strange.
“Perhaps the human translation is not precise enough. By rights, the book of prophecies must have records, just like Miss You Ming being recorded in the book of prophecies.” Kira touched her chin and began to make a not-so-reasonable speculation.
“Ah, then there’s nothing I can do.” Leticia took out her phone and sent Kira’s answer to Bai Ling.
A few seconds after sending the message, Bai Ling’s reply came back, a simple “um,” making Leticia feel extremely perfunctory.
“This guy, he’s really making me a bit unhappy,” Leticia pressed her forehead and muttered in a low voice.
She was helping out for free. At this time, shouldn’t Bai Ling be thanking her with flowery language? Just this one “um,” like dismissing a beggar!
Next time, she would definitely not help, absolutely not!
“If Sister is done, please go wait outside. I still need to cook some dishes,” Kira began to usher her out. Having her sister in the kitchen always made her feel a bit uneasy.
After all, a certain Demon King had once blown up the kitchen. If there was a first time, there would be a second. Kira was a little afraid that if her sister was watching from behind, she might also blow up the kitchen, and then she would have no reason to stop her sister from entering the kitchen.
“You don’t need to make so much, do you? Can the two of us eat this much?” Leticia hooked her finger, and a golden meatball flew out from the plate. Taking half of the meatball in her mouth, she said indistinctly, “Just keep it simple. Oh right, these meatballs seem to be fried a bit too long.”
After seriously considering her and her sister’s appetites, and then looking at the ingredients she had prepared, Kira admitted that she had miscalculated.
If she really followed her own ideas, she would probably have to throw away half of the dishes on the table, which would be a bit of a waste.
“Then make a bit less. Also, I don’t cook much, so having this skill is already quite good,” Kira said helplessly. She didn’t have to cook every day like Xiao Ya.
She, Kira Infaino, was a princess of the Demon race!
It was already a very impressive thing for a princess to be able to cook, wasn’t it?
Besides, when did she have time to cultivate these amateur hobbies? She was too busy dealing with political affairs.
“Indeed, it’s tastier than what I make anyway.” Leticia gave high praise for her sister’s cooking skills.
It’s just that the comparison target seemed a bit too easy.
What her sister made, um, probably belonged to the category where eating it had a high probability of causing stomach problems. Kira’s expression was a bit broken. No matter how bad her own skills were, she couldn’t possibly make the kind of dishes her sister had made before!
That terrifying stir-fried slime with the super-hot peppers, Kira really didn’t want to recall it a second time.
Just by smelling it, Kira could be sure that what Leticia had made was absolutely inedible.
“Compared to you, Sister, it’s too easy.” Kira spread her hands, then pushed Leticia out of the kitchen. “Alright, don’t disturb me anymore. If you’re bored, go watch TV.”
That was a good idea. Leticia walked to the TV, turned it on. There were no good programs on at this time, so she tuned into the news channel, planning to see if anything interesting had happened.
Coincidentally, the news that was being broadcast at the moment had a tiny bit of connection to Leticia.
“The identity of the victim in the xxx highway car explosion case has been confirmed. The deceased is named xx, 48 years old, and was a senior executive of a certain company…” The host reported the victim’s identity with a serious expression.
“Oh, a senior executive of a company?” Leticia watched the screen with interest, feeling a bit curious. A senior executive of a company was actually killed like this, it really made her curious.
She still believed that this dead person was killed by some dark forces, like the mafia. Although that official driver lady said that the mafia wouldn’t do it like this, Leticia still stuck to her own opinion.
Feuds and vendettas, it sounded very passionate, didn’t it?
The news didn’t report too much on this matter, after all, the incident had only happened for a day, and the police didn’t have that fast of work efficiency. To find the culprit, it would probably take many days.
After this matter was reported, the news then talked about another matter, which was the mysterious sleeping incident that Bai Ling had mentioned to Leticia not long ago.
“As of today, one hundred and fifty-four people have fallen into a state of mysterious unconsciousness. All victims have been sent to Central City First Hospital for treatment, but as of now, the victims still show no signs of waking up. Experts have begun to cooperate with the Hero Association, joining forces to find a way to awaken the victims.”
Over a hundred and fifty people. This number was not small at all.
Even for Leticia, simultaneously hypnotizing over one hundred and fifty people would be a very challenging task for her, let alone that among these over one hundred and fifty people there were super ability users.
That mastermind behind it was probably quite厉害 (lì hai – formidable/powerful).
“Sister, you can come and eat now!” After watching several news reports, Kira finally prepared lunch. She carried the plates to the dining table and called out to Leticia, who was watching TV.
“Coming!” Leticia jumped up from the sofa and ran to the dining table with small steps. “It smells good.”
“Of course, my cooking skills are quite good,” Kira said confidently. “Alright, hurry up and eat.”
“Then I won’t be polite, I’ll take all these meatballs myself.”
“Sister, leave some for me.”
Midway through the enjoyable lunch, Kira’s phone suddenly rang, which was quite rare.
Very few people knew Kira’s phone number. Excluding Leticia, there was only Xiao Ya. Even Bai Ling did not know Kira’s phone number.
Now, then, was this call from Xiao Ya?
Taking out her phone, Kira showed an expression of “as expected.” The call was indeed from Xiao Ya, but why would Xiao Ya call her at this time?
With doubt, Kira answered the phone.
“Xiao Ya, have you encountered any trouble?”
“Kira, do you have time this afternoon? I want you to do me a favor,” Xiao Ya said somewhat embarassedly. “Um, our class prepared a stage play, but today a classmate suddenly took leave. The teacher said she most likely won’t be able to participate in the performance.”
She had something temporary come up and couldn’t participate in the performance?
Kira scratched her head, feeling a bit troubled. Participating in the performance was fine with her, as she was idle anyway.
“But this is your class’s performance, is it really okay for me to participate?” Kira asked. Is it really okay for an outsider like her to participate in Xiao Ya’s class performance?
Xiao Ya was silent for a moment, then whispered, “Kira, have you forgotten something?”
“Ah?”
“You haven’t dropped out of school yet…”
Eh?!
Kira’s eyes widened. It seemed, perhaps, she had never completed the dropout procedures.
This meant that, theoretically speaking, she was still a classmate of Xiao Ya?
But she hadn’t gone to school for so long. By all rights, she should have been expelled long ago. Even in the Demon race, not going to school for such a long time without saying anything would result in expulsion.
“Well, I asked Sister to help you take a long leave of absence before,” Xiao Ya chuckled. It was just keeping Kira’s name; for Bai Ling, it was just a matter of a single sentence.
See, didn’t it come in handy now?
“Then, okay. By the way, can I bring Sister too?” Kira glanced at her sister who was looking at her with curious eyes, her thoughts shifting, and asked with a hint of mischief.
“Ah, Sister Qian Qian is also coming? That’s great!” When Xiao Ya heard that Kira was bringing Leticia, she was overjoyed. “Of course, you can. I’ll just tell the teacher.”
“Okay, okay, then it’s settled. We’ll come over at some point this afternoon,” Kira nodded with satisfaction.
After hanging up the phone, Kira looked at Leticia, who had a resentful look on her face, and burst into laughter. “Sister, some exercise is still needed.”
“I still want to take a nap, and I still want to play games. I really don’t want to go to school to watch a bunch of little kids playing house!” Leticia said fiercely, waving her little fists.
“That’s not up to you, Sister.” Kira showed a big smile. “If you don’t go, I’ll cut off the internet cable in your room before we leave.”
Wow, that’s too vicious. Looking at her so vicious sister, Leticia felt that she hadn’t beaten her sister hard enough in the past. If she had been a bit harder, maybe Kira wouldn’t dare speak to her like this.
Unfortunately, time couldn’t turn back, and Leticia couldn’t go back to the past to realize her little idea.
“Seriously, why did something go wrong as soon as we arrived? A good show suddenly lost an actor, and according to Xiao Ya, it might have been a rather important actor.” Leticia sighed. “Could that girl have died?”
“Sister, it’s really difficult for you to make such a vicious guess,” Kira said helplessly. “Perhaps someone in the family suddenly got a terminal illness and needs care.”
“Kira, your guess isn’t much better than mine!”
“At least my guess has the possibility of a happy ending, while yours is a complete tragedy,” Kira stated that she and her sister were different. Her sister’s guess was one hundred percent bad, while hers still had a slight possibility of turning for the better.
Of course, it was very slim.
The Demon King sisters, it seemed, really wouldn’t think of things in a good way.
Time quickly passed to the afternoon. After being forced by Kira to change into summer clothes suitable for going out, the two sisters took a bus to the school where Xiao Ya was studying.
Kira had already memorized the bus route needed when she visited Xiao Ya’s house from school before. Even without a map, Kira could find the way to the school.
Upon arriving at the school, the students’ main classes for the day had ended, and colorful extracurricular activities were unfolding in an orderly manner. At the school gate, a cute girl was craning her neck, looking into the distance.
Seeing the two small figures appearing in the tree-lined avenue, the girl immediately became excited. She hopped and waved at them, “Sister Qian Qian, Xiao Qi, here!”
The girl was naturally Xiao Ya. She had been waiting here after receiving Kira’s message that they had departed, with the aim of being the first to greet her Kira and Sister Qian Qian.
After a simple registration with the gatekeeper, Leticia and Kira followed Xiao Ya into the unbelievably well-equipped school.
Really, the first time Leticia saw Xiao Ya’s school, she was a bit shocked.
She had always thought that Xiao Ya’s school was similar to the ordinary schools she had attended in her previous life, just those square teaching buildings exuding a rigid and old atmosphere, especially since Xiao Ya had always said that their school wasn’t very good.
But when she saw the true appearance of the school, she was shocked.
Truly shocked.
Was this a noble school from somewhere?
The various very beautiful buildings were completely different from what Leticia had imagined a school to be.
This school was even comparable to their Demon race’s Royal Magic Academy.
“Xiao Ya, your school is really beautiful,” Leticia said in an extremely rustic tone. “I thought your school was like an old-fashioned one, but I didn’t expect it to be so beautiful.”
But Xiao Ya scratched her head, “Most people who come here for the first time say this. Our place only has good hardware.”
In fact, the hardware here could not be said to be just good, it could only be said to be very good. In Central City, there was probably only Central Ability Academy that had better hardware facilities.
But what kind of place was that? That was a place for advanced studies only for gifted ability users. Ability users who graduated from there would start as A-class heroes when they joined the Hero Association, you know.
“It’s great that Kira could come to help. If you hadn’t come, we would have to significantly revise our script,” Xiao Ya began to talk about the main business. “But now it’s fine. With you here, Kira, the script doesn’t need to be revised.”
“You have to drastically change the script if one person is missing?” Leticia asked curiously. If one person was just missing, wouldn’t it be enough to simply choose one from the remaining girls to take over?
“Because that girl plays a very important role. The other girls in our class also have their own tasks. If we couldn’t get Kira to help, we would have to have the boys cross-dress and go on stage,” Xiao Ya said helplessly. “The teacher said that the girl’s family had some sort of incident, and even if she could return before the performance, her condition definitely wouldn’t be good.”
So, at first, the teacher intended to pick a clean-looking boy to directly replace her, but Kira thought of calling Kira to help out.
