The villainous young master just wants to live a Buddhist-like life.

　Outside.

　After leaving the house, Dak didn't go far. Instead, he stopped at the door and touched the corner of his eye.

　My fingertips are a little damp.

　It must have been dried before leaving the house.

　The corners of her eyes were a little red.

　It must have been cooked at 3 a.m.

　"Yao Mi—"

　Dark slapped the little dream monster that had half its head poking out from inside the door back in, and strode towards the stairs.

　It's a rare opportunity to go to the cafeteria in the morning, so how can I not indulge in a little binge eating?

　The halfling chefs were all surprised to see him.

　He greeted the chefs, then went to the window and ordered a steak, a fried egg, two slices of bread, and a glass of milk.

　And two sausages.

　The slightly chubby halfling auntie handed him a plate full of food and gestured, "Wait a moment."

　With a hint of doubt, Dak lowered his raised foot back down.

　A moment later, the halfling aunt took out a copy of the "Great Sage's Daily," rolled it up, and placed it beside his plate.

　side.

　Dak was stunned for a moment, then quickly said, "Thank you, Auntie!"

　"Don't mention it," the halfling auntie said with a kind smile. "Happy Valentine's Day."

　Dak found a seat in a corner of the cafeteria, spread out the "Great Sage's Daily" on the side of the table, and began eating as usual.

　Watch it.

　This is actually against etiquette.

　But what does it matter?

　When more and more people do this, it will become a custom.

　As expected, the front page of this issue of the Great Sage Daily is dominated by White Youth Day.

　This seems to have sparked a craze for divination within the kingdom.

　Men and women, wanting to know in advance whether their confessions of love have been accepted, seek out fortune tellers to predict the outcome before the day.

　Speculators, drawn by the allure of money, donned black cloaks, picked up crystal balls, and transformed into fortune tellers, charging exorbitant fees and promising to make their clients happy.

　This kind of craze happens once a year.

　Every year on White Day, all the fortune tellers who suddenly appear disappear without a trace.

　But people still do it every year.

　This issue of the "Great Sage Daily" didn't contain any profound events; it was mostly just gossip and random tidbits.

　Interspersed with anecdotes and interesting stories about nobles and celebrities, they are sure to make you laugh.

　But when Dak was halfway through his steak, he suddenly noticed an inconspicuous corner of the newspaper with an article that read...

　Fake news.

　"It is rumored that Prince Charles, in the name of his elder brother, is actively arranging a marriage for Princess Elizabeth."

　Dak almost choked on the milk he was drinking.

　It sprayed out.

　"Charles is right, but this is actually a brilliant idea to break the deadlock!"

　Do you think so too?

　A rich aroma suddenly wafted towards me.

　Dach turned his head slightly and saw Professor Mitis Bartholomew, always dressed in her coat, holding a tray of food beside him.

　Sit down in the empty seat.

　Dak had to gather up the newspapers to make room for her.

　Good morning, professor.

　Row

　"Good morning."

Chapter 369 Darkdemon and the Roots of Easter (4k)

　Mitia sat down next to Dak, squinting at the obviously fabricated news article in the corner of the newspaper.

　She asked earnestly, "What do you think of this news?"

　Darke, however, didn't seem to care much: "It's a brilliant plan, but a foolish one."

　Mitia: "Hmm"

　Dark said, "Theory without practice is never enough; true understanding comes from practice. It's just a product of momentary enthusiasm."

　However, from the eldest princess's perspective, she could investigate who was trying to pass on the plan to the eldest prince. After all, although this foolish move was useless,

　It can be disgusting.

　Mitia looked at him with curiosity: "I didn't expect you to have such insights at such a young age. I really don't know where those rumors about you came from."

　Dark was somewhat embarrassed: "I was young and naive."

　Mitia smiled and said no more.

　She turned her attention back to her plate, cutting the bacon into small pieces and chewing slowly.

　After a long pause, she looked up again and said, "Easter is coming soon."

　Easter

　Today is White Day, right?

　Talking about Easter on White Day

　Professor, you've taken a bit too big a step.

　Dark thought to himself, but didn't say it aloud: "It seems that Easter and April Fool's Day fall on the same day this year."

　Professor Mitya said, "Fooling others is fooling yourself; it's self-deception. Do you know the origins of Easter?"

　Dark shook his head and said frankly, "I don't know."

　Easter in the past was a Christian festival commemorating the resurrection of Jesus on the third day after his crucifixion and death.

　Also known as Easter or the Lord's Easter, or in Catholicism as the Feast of the Resurrection of Jesus.

　But the roots of Easter in this world.

　He had no contact with them.

　Professor Mitis simply smiled and said, "I suggest you look it up yourself; that will leave a deeper impression on you."

　Then she picked up her tray and just left!

　Dak stared at her back, which was so striking it was hard to look directly at, with a look of surprise in his eyes.

　Originally, even if Professor Mitia skipped White Day and casually mentioned Easter, it wouldn't have been a big problem.

　After all, Professor Mitia, an older single woman, would most likely deliberately ignore things like Valentine's Day.

　But Professor Mitya's identity as a prophet always shrouds her words in a veil of mystery.

　It makes one wonder if she did this intentionally.

　"Easter? What does she know, and why is she bringing it up with me?"

　With a few thoughts swirling in his mind, Dak quickly finished the food on his plate and hurriedly left the cafeteria.

　Although it was still early, he went straight to the classroom for the first class.

　Today happens to be Wednesday. I have two classes in the morning, no classes in the afternoon, and Professor Mitia's astronomy class in the evening. Perhaps this is...

　The reason she appears in the cafeteria.

　Although Dak had stuffed the chocolate into his backpack and taken it with him, he ultimately felt it wouldn't be appropriate to return the gift in the classroom, so he decided to wait until...

　I'll look at it after the afternoon classes end.

　During breaks between Potions and Summoning classes, students were quietly discussing Valentine's Day-related topics.

　As the boy who received the most chocolates on Valentine's Day, Dak naturally had to endure more attention and discussion.

　But he sat there, unmoved, much to the disappointment of both the boys and girls who were hoping for a good show.

　By the end of the morning, some couples had actually made a match.

　But it is said that the young couple from the Fool's House were childhood sweethearts!

　Moreover, their homes are right next door.

　People who win at the starting line are someone you can never envy.

　The students sighed and could only secretly hope that they would find someone they were compatible with in a few years.

　"Jingle Bell!"

　Just as my thoughts were racing, the bell rang to signal the end of the second period in the morning.

　Professor Sylph glanced at the clock, quickly assigned homework, and left the classroom.

　The students packed their bags and left.

　For them, Wednesday afternoons are like mini-vacations, and the evening astronomy classes are mainly for cultivating interest.

　After class, you can finally get some rest.

　Remembering Professor Mitia's words, Dak prepared to go to the library to look up information related to "Easter".

　But as he packed his books and took his bag out of the drawer, he suddenly noticed that Diana and Rose in the front row were still...

　Sitting there perfectly fine.

　Normally, Diana would already be waiting by the side with her schoolbag.

　A subtle smile crept across Dark's lips.

　Then he wasn't in a hurry, he just picked up his schoolbag and took a couple of steps outside.

　Diana could no longer sit still.

　He took two steps back.

　Then she sat down again, smiling as she looked ahead.

　People left the classroom one by one, and soon only a few remained.

　Dark's gaze passed over Diana's shoulder and landed on Eudora Envy, who was also sitting somewhat awkwardly in front of him.

　Eudora strained her ears, listening intently to the sounds behind her.

　She observed the stars last night and noticed a particularly bright one, which foretells that she may have good fortune today.

　So she started secretly watching Dark from the morning onwards.

　Now, finally, there are signs that something good is about to happen.

　Is it...is it coming?

　She suddenly heard someone stand up at the very back, and she became even more excited.

　Dak did stand up, but he did not leave his seat.

　Instead, he took a chocolate gift box from his bag, raised his hand, leaned forward slightly, and held it over Diana's head from above.

　Slowly lower the chocolate gift box.
