Really? I'm fighting the Dark Emperor.

It's worth mentioning that Genny's lunch today was indeed provided by Ya Ya, and she did it quickly and efficiently.

“If they really don’t have the money, even if they go back on their word, Genny won’t say anything.”

He was quick and decisive when handing over the money, but afterwards he was listless and lost all his frightening enthusiasm when he spoke.

"No, Fufu always keeps her word."

The silly-looking plush toy was still held up in front of Ya Ya, with the duck on its head dutifully quacking a few times wherever she needed to watch her step.

With this outfit, she would even take a curious look at an ant along the way, and Rui Bu Si, who was walking with her, said she felt a lot of pressure.

"Um……"

Whether the plush toy kept its word is another matter. Facing the strange looks from several classmates again, Rui Bu Si asked sincerely and tactfully:

"Isn't it tiring to maintain this position for so long?"

Having been stared at so many times, she couldn't help but feel uneasy, even though she hadn't paid much attention to other people's opinions before.

"Why don't you just hold her? It'll be more comfortable for her... Fufu. There are quite a few steps in the school, and this will block her view, making it easy for her to get hurt..."

"Aww—" "Gah!"

Before she could finish speaking, Ya Ya, along with Fu Fu and Ya Ya, disappeared from her sight, accompanied by the sound of a heavy object hitting the ground.

Rui Bu Si looked down and saw Ya Ya, who, even when she fell, instinctively lifted the doll up.

Although she shouldn't, she did feel a little like laughing in this situation.

There's also a slightly strange feeling.

As if by some strange twist of fate, her attention was drawn to a spot not far away, where a girl was bending down to pick up a duck that had glided to her feet.

The poor duck glided several meters due to the sudden turn of events. The owner, after getting up, immediately checked on Fufu, who had been so well protected, to see if she was alright.

But what's going on? The girl who picked up the duck gave her a very familiar and heart-fluttering feeling. The moment she saw her, her heart started pounding.

Is this what love at first sight feels like?

The girl who also noticed her frowned, walked over and pulled the person up from the ground, then casually put the duck back on Ya Ya's head.

"You still need to be careful when you walk."

"Okay." The owner straightened the crooked glasses on the plush toy and put them back in their original place. The owner clearly didn't care about the fall just now, nor did they listen to what the owner said.

Without saying anything more, the girl's gaze shifted to Ya Ya's side, and in the instant their eyes met unexpectedly, Rui Bu Si found her heart beating even faster.

"Are you a freshman this semester? Hello, I'm Nyarlathotep."

Nana, Naya?

Can't resist the urge to get closer to Nyarlathotep?!

Could it be that her desire to die had reached such a strong point that she simply hadn't realized it?

How terrifying! His body was actually turning away from her, as if he wanted to commit suicide!

"Tell me the truth, System, did you do something behind my back?"

Treat others with trust and respect, and you will earn their trust and respect in return.

As someone chosen by the great system, the host should strive to become a virtuous person so that they can better integrate into the Cute Knights and complete the mission perfectly in the shortest amount of time.

A virtuous person, on the other hand, is typically honest, upright, moral, and responsible; they would never arbitrarily suspect others of problems.

It still spouts so much nonsense.

Suspicious, extremely suspicious.

Her hand hovered in mid-air for a long time, but the girl opposite her, who had been staring at her, remained blankly unresponsive. Naya was somewhat puzzled:

"What's wrong? Is there something I did wrong?"

Strangely enough, even though it was probably the first time she had met this girl, she felt an unconscious urge to get closer to her.

It was as if they had known each other for a long time.

"No, no."

Rui Busi reluctantly shook hands with her: "Hello, I am Rui Busi."

Is this what it feels like to grasp death? Such a chilling, unsettling sensation, so irresistible that it makes you want to go further... Oh no, she's already out of her mind.

"Little radish?"

The plush toy's hand smacked Rui Bu Si's face, finally bringing her back to her senses.

"What's wrong? I've called you so many times, but you haven't responded."

"I don't know why, but I have a strong urge to get close to Nyarlathotep."

This feeling is so familiar... um...

what is it then?

"Oh~~~"

A meaningful sound pulled her attention back to reality. Sure enough, she was out of her mind. Rui Bu Si realized that she could actually see a profound and unfathomable feeling in the face of a plush toy.

It's still a plush toy with two big front teeth, and only the middle tuft of its head remains.

The enigmatic doll "said": "You like her!"

Indeed, one cannot expect to analyze anything from a doll.

"Go back to your dorm quickly, my friend. Socially awkward people shouldn't stay out for long."

If she continued to wander around outside like this, she worried that her toes would dig out a second Moe Academy.

People are made of iron, but beds are magnetic. If it weren't for homework that hadn't been done yet, who would willingly crawl out of bed?

Rui Bu Si, having found an empty classroom, painfully held a dictionary in one hand and a monster studies textbook in the other.

—It is said that reading the knowledge points aloud several times will make learning twice as effective; you can't just read them aloud in the library.

She can't stay in the dorm either; she got a complaint yesterday because she was playing the wooden fish drum until midnight.

However, her efforts in the middle of the night were quite fruitful. At least in the short term, she no longer had to worry about being dragged out of bed by the Dark Emperor or some Quark elder while she was sleeping.

But then again, she's way past the age of being a student, so why does she have to do her homework all by herself?

Why does this school insist on expelling students who fail multiple exams?

Based on the exorbitant living expenses and resettlement fees it offers... well, that's certainly acceptable.

In the empty classroom, she looked at her textbook, and the textbook looked at her; neither seemed to like the other very much.

"What exactly is the way to make girls like me more?"

Suddenly, voices came from outside the classroom. Acting faster than thinking, Rui Bu Si quickly grabbed her two books and crawled under the table.

Eh?

No, what is she hiding from?

The textbooks, which she disliked, were now huddled together with her under the table in this small corner. Just as she was about to crawl out with them, the classroom door was opened.

Is it inappropriate to go out at this time?

Rui Bu Si, who had crawled out halfway, shrank back in.
