Abnormal Moon

Stella was also stunned.

"Well, he is indeed very handsome... Souji, what's wrong with you?"

Sylvia shifted her position and moved closer, looking at Ms. Okita with a worried expression.

"What's wrong?"

Ms. Okita countered with a question.

Stella, standing next to her, also cast a strange glance at her, as if she were seeing her for the first time, her eyes full of unfamiliarity.

"But you just said he's very handsome!"

Sylvia looked Okita up and down with a worried expression, afraid that she might have bumped her head somewhere, but she couldn't find anything wrong no matter how she looked at her. She could only look at Okita with a troubled expression.

"How about we go to the hospital for a checkup?"

"I agree! As your teammate, I really can't just stand by and do nothing!"

Stella nodded with a serious expression.

"...Seriously, have you guys lost your minds?"

I'm worried you've lost your mind!

Sylvia grabbed Ms. Okita's shoulder, a hint of heartache on her face.

"You just said that guy was really handsome! Hearing that from you makes me worry that someone might have messed with your brain! Let's go to the hospital to get checked out!"

Miss Okita fell into deep thought.

Honestly, after spending a month together, did he portray Ms. Okita as sexually frigid?

...It doesn't seem impossible.

After all, Ms. Okita had no facial expression, she was completely expressionless, and she also acted very coldly, hardly speaking to anyone other than Sylvia and Stella, which immediately gave her an aloof air.

"Okay, I'm fine. Let's go have lunch. Our first match this afternoon is ours."

Ms. Okita stood up from the sofa, wearing a poker face, and walked towards the door of the viewing room.

Why go to a treatment center? Miss Okita is already dead. And with the technology in this world so advanced, what if they find out something and expose her identity?

I'd rather die than go to the hospital!

Seeing that Miss Okita disagreed, the two women had no choice but to give up and followed her with worried expressions.

Okita Souji has a cold personality. She can only talk to these two girls in the entire Aoi Envy Girls' Academy. She is also decisive and uncompromising. If she doesn't want to do something, you can't get her to agree even if you tie her up. After spending a month with her, both of them have this understanding.

"Is the commander-in-chief really alright?"

"There doesn't seem to be anything wrong with it on the outside..."

Sylvia started her disguise and followed closely behind Ms. Okita with Stella, whispering and occasionally casting worried glances at Ms. Okita like a mother hen.

"But she really acted strangely just now!"

"Maybe it's just a normal stirring of romantic feelings?"

"How……"

Sylvia wanted to say how could it be possible with Souji's apathetic personality, but she suddenly stopped halfway through her sentence.

Upon closer inspection, Souji is actually only fifteen years old!

This is the age when most girls' hearts flutter with first love. Although Souji is a bit aloof, who knows if she's actually fallen for that person?

That guy named Roy is impeccable in appearance and strength, he's improving rapidly, and he's also highly malleable. He's definitely one of the best... Oh no, the more Sylvia thought about it, the more likely it seemed!

Could it be that Souji has actually fallen for that guy named Roy?

What if that really happens?

Sylvia felt a slight sense of loss. She often traveled around the world and had few people she could confide in. She was so happy to finally have a best friend, but then her best friend turned around and fell in love with another man.

"However, if Roy is a responsible and dependable person, it would be a good outcome for Souji. Hmm, I need to make a careful selection!"

Sylvia pondered for a long time and secretly made up her mind that if her best friend found a good match, she would be happy for her, provided that it was a good match.

"These reporters are so annoying."

In the passageway where the athletes leave the arena, there is a very spacious open area, which is the only way back to the preparation room.

Upon arriving, Roy and his companion were immediately surrounded by a group of reporters. It took them a great deal of effort to escape the encirclement and return to the preparation room, where Roy poured out his grievances.

"They've been harassing me for a whole hour!"

Lunchtime is almost over, and the afternoon matches are about to begin!

"This is the legitimate right that Star Martial Festival has granted to journalists worldwide."

Claudia took a teacup from the cabinet, poured him a cup of hot tea, and chuckled as she did so.

"This also has its advantages. At least your reputation in the public eye will rise significantly, and you'll easily attract advertising endorsements and business opportunities!"

"That's not something we can't rule out..."

Roy's eyes lit up, and he nodded in agreement.

Chapter 193 The Same Five Seconds (43, Bonus Chapter)

It took him a while to realize what was happening.

He also has a large chest of gold and jewelry in his virtual pocket, so he's definitely not short of money!

Oh no, it's all because he was ruined by those two money-devouring beasts in Fuyuki City back then. Now, saving money has almost become his obsession.

It's all the fault of the Aozaki sisters!

"Let's go eat too. Yulis and Kirin are at the Nanhe Three Giant Dome, so they probably won't be able to meet up."

The domes in the City of Learning and War are quite far apart, and with so many tourists around, if you try to rush over to meet them, you'll probably miss the afternoon's match.

"Let's eat here."

Claudia's smile widened.

"Eat here?"

Claudia got up, opened the locker, and took out a large package that was big enough to hug one person. When she opened it, she was surprised to find that it was a huge bento box.

"Actually, I prepared a bento box!"

Ha ha.

Yulis and Kirin Toudou couldn't possibly have prepared this well, could they? It's impossible for them to have lunch with Roy alone like this, right?

Sure enough, he intervened and secured the opportunity to team up with Roy. He made the right move!

"This bento box is far too luxurious..."

Roy looked at the Australian lobster in front of him, which was still waving its huge claws even in death, and couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth.

He had only ever seen this thing on TV in both of his lives. The bento box was unbelievably generous in both price and quantity.

"I'm glad you're enjoying your meal. Come on, ah—"

Claudia smiled and handed her a spoon.

Roy didn't stand on ceremony and readily accepted Claudia's offer of food.

It's been a long time since I felt this way.

The last time I was fed like this was on that mountain, when I was being fed by Zhenna because I was blind...

"I always get the feeling you're thinking about other women?"

Claudia's inexplicably deep voice pulled Roy back to reality.

"Claudia?"

Roy looked over in surprise.

"It's just the two of us here, just now. Can you leave the world in your mind to me alone?"

Claudia moved closer to Roy and rested her head on his shoulder, feeling light and almost weightless, though her words carried a strange sense of fragility.

"Or is my request too greedy?"

Her voice carried a hint of trepidation, as if she were afraid of receiving a positive answer from him.

"...No, that's not true, I'm sorry."

Roy was silent for a moment, then quickly sat up straight and took the spoon from Claudia's hand.

"It is impolite not to reciprocate, come on, ah—"

Claudia straightened up and was taken aback when she saw Roy feeding her with a serious expression.

She burst out laughing, her eyes brimming with amusement, and then opened her mouth to accept his food.

The two of them fed each other, and the meal took almost an hour to finish.
