Really? I'm fighting the Dark Emperor.

Rui Bu Si clung to her lie that she hadn't taken down the mask.

"Why are we talking about such boring topics as soon as we get back?" She looked away and changed the subject. "Let me tell you, a lot has happened at the Moe Academy lately!"

His tone was exaggerated, and his voice was drawn out, trying to draw Miya Xing's attention to things other than the Rubik's Cube.

"Oh, like?"

"For example..." What happened recently? It seems like nothing much happened. The biggest thing was that she skipped early morning class but didn't get a demerit from Director Pa.

"For example, Barbie..."

"After being bitten, Barbie became anemic. Count Gulak was identified by Head Nurse Sweetie as the vampire who bit Barbie, but the wound test results showed that it was a spider with dark venom on it."

He picked up on her halting words, his expression a half-smile: "Anything else?"

Rui Bu Si: ...

What's going on?

When Lanbao came back that day, didn't he say that Gulak was a vampire and that he caused Barbie to become anemic?

Oh, the test results weren't out yet when he got back.

She didn't follow up on the matter.

"And... um, there were a few days of ghost stories at the school..."

"Later it was discovered that the steroids that turned the doll into a person were crying downstairs in the girls' dormitory because they couldn't take their own things."

Rui Bu Si: ...

"Is it also true that Rui Rui's magic disappeared after she made a wish to the Infinite Egg, and the price was that she would turn into a fish tail after the sun went down? At the same time, it was also discovered that Meow Meow Katie also made a wish, and the price was that her 'happiness,' that is, her laughter, disappeared."

He looked at the Rubik's Cube in his hand, speaking casually and easily, while Rui Bu Si listened with a blank expression.

What is a "Mutual Egg"?

The version that Director Pa told them was that Rui Rui had a problem with the car and needed to be treated in the infirmary.

As for Meow Meow Katie, doesn't she have a pretty nice smile?

Miya Xing realized that she knew nothing.

"You dare to use this as an excuse when you don't know anything?" He poked her forehead in annoyance, and she guiltily brushed his fingers away.

"Oh dear, you can't say that." She's just finding swinging the stick every day novel and hasn't paid attention to anything else, has she?

"Now that you admit you can't solve the Rubik's Cube, do you just disassemble it and put it back together?"

She is very principled in this regard: "I didn't have it; it was like this when you gave it to me."

"I'll give it to you?"

"Ah."

"you sure?"

"OK."

"I swear on your next potions class grade."

"An occasional four..."

"speak nicely."

"Isn't this oath too vicious?"

She barely passed Potions—and that was with a near-perfect participation score.

If I don't pass, I'll end up like Genny, unable to sleep in my dorm during holidays and having to go to the classroom for extra classes.

"Then admit it."

"Ah."

"'Hmm' what?"

"I've taken apart the Rubik's Cube."

"several times?"

"Five or six times...?"

She just can't get it back... She has other things to do, and she doesn't have the patience.

Five or six times?

It seems like it's more than that: "Seven or eight times?"

Miya Xing didn't want to ask any more questions.

"Don't worry," she pressed down his hand as he prepared to turn the Rubik's Cube again, "when I have money..."

"Give me a new one, huh?" He knew what useless things she was going to say before she even finished speaking.

Rui Bu Si nodded repeatedly and promised again, "Don't worry, I will definitely have money."

She's said this countless times, and its credibility is about the same as Ginny saying she can definitely make a living off her looks.

"By the way, I have to tell you, I feel there's an ominous atmosphere in the school."

"Is it because Head Nurse Da Tiantian is going to take a certification exam and is preparing to leave Meng Academy?"

"Huh?" Does that mean I won't have money to buy snacks in the future, and I won't even be able to get the loving meals that Head Nurse Da Tiantian is preparing for Director Pa?

This is very ominous news.

But the ominous aspect was not quite what she felt.

"Don't worry, after Head Nurse Da Tiantian leaves, the school will send someone else to fill in for a while." He habitually reached for the Rubik's Cube, but stopped because of the unfamiliar feel.

Those watching his actions felt guilty and tried to appear innocent: "I will have money, really."

When she returned to the dormitory that night, the whole room was filled with the smell of insecticide. When Ya Ya saw her, she pounced on her with a scream, and the two of them fell to the ground together.

"Spider! There's a spider in the dorm! A huge spider! It just scurried past us from the shadows!"

Rui Bu Si was so dizzy from being shaken that she didn't hear a single word except for the spider that was repeatedly mentioned.

"Can't we catch ducks?"

"It's hiding under the covers now."

"..."

That night, just as Ukunana was about to turn off the lights and go to sleep, there was a knock on the dormitory door.

The two people living upstairs, clutching blankets, stood in front of her dorm room and asked in unison, "Senior, would it be convenient for us to stay for the night?"

Ya Ya pulled out a few bags of duck snacks: "These are for Xiong Xiong."

?

"It's possible, but the dorm doesn't have one..."

The moment she said she could, the two men rushed past her and into her dormitory.

Ulala warmly welcomed their arrival.

Even though Ya Ya was taking care of herself, as well as Ya Ya and Fu Fu, which forced her to leave a large space next to her bed empty for storing miscellaneous items.

Ukunana stated beforehand, "Due to the influence of magical abilities, I will feel a little cold."

"It's okay, I'm in good health."

Their dormitory reeked of insecticide; it was unclear whether it had killed the insects or not, but Rui Bu Si felt like she couldn't breathe.

Even if it's cold, it's better than sleeping in a dorm room that smells of insecticide.

In the middle of the night, Ukunana woke up from her dream.

She opened her eyes to find herself being held like an octopus, with two blankets scattered on the floor. She tried to reach for them, but the hug was too tight, and she couldn't move at all.

The next morning, someone successfully went to see Lanbao because of a cold.

"Strange?" Rui Bu Si was very puzzled. "I felt like I slept quite well last night, so why did I catch a cold?"

Ukunana: ...
