Really? I'm fighting the Dark Emperor.

By the time Eric realized something was wrong, it was too late to stop it. He put down his pen, rubbed his neck, and looked around. Ukunana beside him was showing signs of anger, and Miya Star was staring blankly at the Rubik's Cube not far away, as if she had never noticed them.

Lan Bao continued, "...And also, Rui Bu Si was really reluctant to leave..."

Eric had to interrupt: "Blue Sapphire, I think that's enough."

With her arms crossed, Ukunana's emotions were currently a jumbled mess, with anger taking the lead: "We were all so worried about her outside, and she actually..."

Even though I know this is related to Rui Bu Si's past, I can't help but feel angry.

The person who angered her was currently in the dormitory. Ruibusi pushed away the bear-shaped cookie that was offered to her mouth: "I really can't eat anymore."

My stomach is full of cookies and water right now.

"But I still have a lot of bear cookies I made for you."

"Don't worry, I will definitely finish them all." She glanced at Ulala, then at the ten cookies next to her that she couldn't possibly finish.

—Such a heavy sentiment.

"Okay." Ulala put the biscuit back and started talking about happy things, "So many things happened while you were unconscious. My sister has completely reconciled with Grandpa, and also, my sister and I can now use our combined magic very smoothly!"

That does sound like a very happy thing.

"Let's go." The incredibly energetic girl grabbed Rui Bu Si and ran off in an unknown direction. "Let's go find my sister."

"Wait—" She wasn't really interested in seeing just how powerful their combined magic was right now.

However, Ulala seemed determined to share all the happy things she knew with her, and walked very fast. Because of the churning liquid in her stomach, Ruibusi didn't have a chance to finish her sentence.

She had a bad feeling. After stopping, she silently leaned in the direction she had left: "Ulala, maybe we should change it..."

"When do you want to change it to?" Ukunana, who was still angry, had just come down from the attic when she saw the source of her anger.

Yue Guo Wulala poked Ruibusi's forehead impatiently: "Don't you know the saying 'delay leads to trouble'? What if something unexpected happened and you couldn't get out?"

"Will you feel guilty for the rest of your life?"

The consequence of speaking faster than thinking is that Ukunana, who was originally just a little angry, now looks like she wants to unleash an ice storm.

Seeing that hiding behind Ulala was useless—Ulala resolutely stood on her sister's side. Ruibusi quickly crouched down beside Ukunana, pulling Miya Xing, who had just come down from the attic, in front of her to block her.

"You promised me you'd keep it a secret, didn't you?" (whispering)

Damn it, how did Ukunana know?

"You two conspired together to keep this from me?"

Miya Xing quickly raised her hands to prove her innocence to the two women hiding behind her and standing in front of her: "I didn't say anything."

If he had known he would be faced with this scene, he should have let Eric and Lambo come down first.

With both his escape route and his path forward blocked, he tried to free his already wrinkled school uniform from Rui Bu Si's grasp, but she seemed determined to use him as a shield, grabbing his wrist as he struggled to pull the clothes off.

"My best friend, have you ever heard the saying, 'To live and die together'?"

Maybe we shouldn't be best friends anymore.

"Perhaps you mean 'share the good times and the bad'?"

As soon as one spot was torn open, the person behind her immediately moved to another. Ukunana's gaze had shifted from looking at Ruibusi alone with annoyance to looking at the two of them with annoyance.

Ulala glanced at her sister's face, then at the two people on the other side.

We are all very good friends.

It's such a difficult choice.

So she moved away from the eye of the storm.

“I don’t think there’s much difference between the two sentences in this situation.” She peeked out from behind Miya Xing, then quickly shrank back.

Ukunana raised an eyebrow: "Do I look scary now?"

To this voice that sounded like the situation was more serious, Rui Bu Si replied without hesitation: "It does have a certain... ah, no, I mean, you look quite dignified now, very much like Principal Kendrick."

She hasn't even met Principal Kendall Jenner yet.

But this is not important.

“My friend,” Miya Xing gave up trying to take her clothes, “I think you should know that the difficulties of growing up should be faced actively by yourself, rather than hiding behind others.”

"But as your best friend, shouldn't you offer any help you can?"

Ukunana walked slowly forward, while Ruibusi pulled him slowly backward.

"I feel that this is beyond my capabilities."

“Human potential is limitless. As long as you believe it’s within your reach, it will become your reach.” Rui Bu Si poked his back. “Now there’s a great opportunity to unleash your potential, and as your best friend, I’d be happy to help you.”

Miya Xing shook his head: "Human abilities are limited."

“Don’t be bound by these outward appearances, my dearest, dearest friend. Now you should use your wisdom to help us out of this predicament and prove our great friendship.” She was now leaning against the ladder leading to the attic.

Yes, there's no turning back.

"Perhaps we could prove it in a more peaceful way..."

The person who tried to slip away was ruthlessly pulled back by his school uniform jacket. Ruibusi whispered a threat in his ear: "Just this once. After this, I will never threaten you again with the fact that I know you have a slim waist."

For a fleeting moment, the air seemed to freeze.

Three pairs of eyes fell on Miya Xing's waist. Eric stood in the stairwell, unsure whether he should go up or do something else.

Unaware of what was happening, Lan Bao lay on the attic floor, poking her head out and asking curiously, "What happened, President Eric? Why aren't you coming down?"

The answer to Lanbao's question was Ulala's exclamation: "It seems so."

Ukunana could no longer hide the feigned anger on her face.

She looked at them strangely, her gaze instinctively drifting to someone's waist as Rui Bu Si finished speaking, before she politely left.

It is very gratifying that, through the wisdom that even Ruibusi herself could not have imagined, the "predicament" at hand has been effectively resolved.

However, this "wisdom" is not very friendly to some people.

It seems they also sacrificed some of the "great friendship" they had just established verbally.

“My very, very, very, very best friend,” she said, using many “very”s to add credibility to her words, “I didn’t mean to, but I’m very grateful for your contribution to our great friendship.”
