Really? I'm fighting the Dark Emperor.

Just before the afternoon magic plant class, Lan Bao, who had been unconscious, finally woke up.

When Lanbao woke up, he was very sad. He didn't want to go to class because he hadn't done his homework.

“Jenny, I still feel a little unwell.”

?

Rui Bu Si paused in her hand holding the apple.

After Da Tian Tian's examination and confirmation, Lan Bao and Eric are now completely healthy.

Furthermore, having also woken from a coma, Eric left the infirmary early on.

Meanwhile, Lambo, lying in his hospital bed, was munching on the apple that originally belonged to Eric.

At this time, he was unaware that everything that fate bestowed upon him had already been secretly priced.

He didn't know that the apple he ate was the smallest one in the bag.

Genny, whose conscience hadn't completely vanished, touched his nose:

"If you don't want to go, the teacher probably won't say anything."

"Of course not!"

After finishing the last bite of the apple, Lan Bao declared righteously:

"Even though I haven't done my homework yet, I'm still very scared of that teacher..."

But that teacher likes to target you in class. Don't worry, even if I'm scared, I'll definitely come to be with you!

After hearing such heartfelt words of friendship, Kenny was stunned for a moment, his conscience finally taking over:

"Lanbao, you've been so good to me, actually..."

The truth was about to spill out when Rui Bu Si, who was half-eaten an apple, smacked him hard on the foot.

"Since you're so touched... then, Genny, could you help me with my magical botany homework?"

Completely unaware of the predetermined fate that had been laid out for him, Lan Bao was fretting over his homework—

It was really difficult; he couldn't understand the drawings and couldn't draw them at all.

"It's okay, just lie down in the infirmary. Even if the teacher still targets Genny in the afternoon class, Ya Ya and I will stay with him."

Who's with whom? Genny disagrees with that statement.

"Genny will help you with your homework too, don't worry~"

Genny: ?

He almost lost half his life while doing his part!

"Is that so? Thank you so much! You truly are my best friends!"

Lan Bao, who was lying comfortably on the bed, felt a little uneasy, especially when she saw Rui Bu Si's familiar smile.

When was the last time I saw that smile?

Oh, right, last time it was Ruibusi who asked him if he wanted to do charity work together, and the time before that was when Ruibusi "borrowed" his last bit of money...

None of these seem to be good things.

but……

The first time, he made his first good friend at the Moe Academy with Kenny, and the second time, he played video games.

Actually, Rui Bu Si... might not necessarily do anything, right?

Maybe she's just... naturally like that when she smiles?

After constantly giving herself positive self-talk, Lan Bao felt much better.

Yes, he still doesn't know that he has to pay back the money for the game console himself, and he has indeed been paying it back all along.

Even after Ginny and Rapese finished their visit, Lambo, lying in his hospital bed, was still marveling at the incredible friendships he had with his wife.

"The assignment for Magical Botany is so hard!"

After a busy afternoon at the library, Genny and Rapese finally managed to put together Lanbao's assignment.

It's mainly Genny who's writing it.

It's not that I don't want Ruibusi's help, it's just that after seeing her homework...

I really can't trust them.

"indeed."

The path from the library to the classroom passes through a small garden. After confirming Kenny's words, she pretended to be deep in thought.

"Do you think it's possible that potatoes are actually growing in the school's small garden?"

Genny: ...

So this matter is going to never be resolved?

Just as she was about to say a few more words, a chill ran down her spine, and the words she wanted to say stuck in her throat.

Looking back,

"what!"

Ulala let out a startled cry, which startled the other two people.

After calming down, they both realized that Ulala was still somewhat shaken.

"Actually, what I was just trying to ask was, Rui Busi, when did you enroll?"

I was just about to ask Rui Bu Si this question when she suddenly turned around.

Moreover, Ulala wasn't sure if it was just her imagination, but she felt that the way Ulala looked back at her was a little scary.

The closer she got, the more her heart pounded, almost to the point of her soul leaving her body. Rui Bu Si barely managed to keep her expression from completely breaking down.

"...A couple of days ago."

"Ok."

Sure enough, Rui Bu Si couldn't possibly be her older sister.

Somewhat disappointed, I made a note in my notebook:

"So, I've basically asked all the girls in the school, but none of them are my older sister."

Genny glanced at the notebook curiously.

Even if he didn't understand it, it didn't stop him from encouraging people:

"As long as she's still at the Moe Academy, we'll definitely find her. Maybe we just missed one. Do you need my and Rui Bu Si's help?"

Encouraged, Ulala, who had been somewhat discouraged, quickly regained her fighting spirit.

"Yes, you're right. But I don't need your help, it would be too much trouble for you. I'll find my sister myself."

She has already caused a lot of trouble for Nyarlathotep and President Eric, so she can't cause any more trouble for others.

During their conversation, Ruibusi moved further and further away little by little.

My thoughts were more chaotic than a ball of yarn that a cat had played with. Once the distance between us was finally reduced, I felt like I had been reborn.

I can finally breathe normally again.

When people are startled, their vigilance often decreases unconsciously. A sudden tap on the shoulder almost made her lose her mind.

"what happened to you?"

Miya Xing never imagined she could scare someone like that.

She rubbed her chest, feeling that her heart had been suffering recently.

"We are carefully studying the possibility of growing potatoes in the soil of the small garden."

"Have the research results been obtained?"

"Yes, I think it's very likely."

Genny, who wasn't too far away and had excellent hearing: ...

Meeting Ulala's curious gaze, he said stiffly, in a low and mysterious voice:

"Oh, actually, Rui Bu Si likes to eat potatoes, so that's why she researched this."

Shortly after the magical botany class, Kenny handed a potato to each of Ruibusi and Mia Star.

Then he left without saying anything.

"This is..." meant to be used as a substitute for the apple?

I haven't seen what potatoes look like before they're served on a plate. They're still covered in fresh mud, as if they were just dug up and handed to them.

Strange, are potatoes planted anywhere in Moe Academy?

Not understanding the matter, and not particularly interested, Miya Xing casually placed the potato on the table, then handed it to Rui Bu Si.

?

"Keep talking, I'm listening."

He casually tucked the potato into his pocket, then sat down, his eyes questioning why he wasn't continuing.

They were originally discussing the paranormal events at the Moe Academy and were enthusiastically exploring whether or not to verify some of them.

Casual chatting means temporarily sacrificing your precious time for doing good deeds.

Rui Bu Si believes that although life is also important, today is not over yet.

If it's not over yet, then there's no rush.

—In the end, because we got so engrossed in chatting that we forgot the time, all ten acts of kindness were done by bumping into classmates and then helping them up.

—Six of those times, I went against my physiological instinct to stay away and bumped into Ulala.

Unfortunately, after what happened to Rika, there weren't many students still wandering around the campus late at night at Moe Academy.

As she rubbed and kneaded the fluffy bear, Ulala still couldn't understand why she had collided with Ruibusi so many times.

"Xiongxiong, Ruibusi seems really busy. She's been running around all night."

"But she has a really good temper. Even though she was in such a hurry, she would still help me up every time, ask me if I was hurt, and even help me pick up the things that fell on the ground."
