Miss Riddler just wants to level up in peace.

The girl was not a stubborn person and understood what Ziyao meant.

The painful memories were hard to forget, and her heart would clench whenever she thought of them.

"Believe me, this time we can definitely change the outcome."

"If all else fails, how about I hide here?"

Seeing Yae Sakura waver, Zi Yao pressed her advantage.

Moreover, she also hoped that the other party could return to reality.

Book 1: Chapter 91 The King's Game (Part 2)

After a long silence, Yae Sakura loosened the ropes.

Since Ziyao insisted on leaving, she had no choice but to give up.

Yae Sakura lightly kissed the girl's cheek, picked up the demon sword from the ground, and turned away.

If she were to look back now, she might really be unable to resist leaving Ziyao here.

"Why don't we go back to reality together?"

Ziyao asked, since she appeared at this point in time, she should still be alive.

“Creating this place has consumed too much energy; Sakura needs to rest for a month.”

"Okay, I'll talk to Mei and the others. You're always welcome."

The shrine gradually disappeared.

The feeling of disappearing along with the space itself is quite peculiar.

My body feels light and airy; there's nothing to be afraid of anymore.

Yae Sakura reliably stayed by her side, watching her leave.

As it submerged in water, the sound of air bubbles was muffled, rising and gurgling upwards.

Sleepiness disregards martial ethics and launches a silent, sneak attack.

After leaving Jizo's Soul, Ziyao lazily sat up from the sofa and yawned deeply.

I'm so sleepy, maybe taking a nap would be better...

She staggered back to her bedroom, lay down on the soft bed, and quickly drifted off to sleep.

When I woke up again, it was the next morning.

Theresa left a note on the table, telling her not to worry about work, to take a break for now, and to leave her work-related things in the infirmary.

Using the initial doll was indeed a heavy burden.

It didn't manifest in the realm of consciousness, but upon returning to reality, it immediately brought retribution.

After a good night's sleep, I felt refreshed.

The sun shone through the windowsill and quietly climbed onto the bed.

The melodious birdsong mingled together, making it a bit noisy...

Mei had prepared a bento box in the living room, with cute food items arranged together, and the dishes were more plentiful than usual.

"Is my health really that bad...?"

Most of the dishes were blood-nourishing and qi-boosting, and they tasted really good.

But isn't this clearly treating her like a patient?

Perhaps it was just her imagination, but after gaining the talent of a puppeteer, Ziyao always felt that her body had become somewhat delicate.

Even the slightest scratch hurts, and I get breathless after climbing just a few flights of stairs; my stamina is extremely poor.

After breakfast, leave the dormitory.

She saw several girls lingering in front of the door, seemingly hesitant.

"You go ahead, I'm a little hesitant..."

"What's there to be afraid of? We're all classmates."

"Last time we attended class together, she seemed to dislike me and rarely responded to me..."

"Isn't it you who talks too much?"

"Then...then you go?"

Upon hearing this, the girl next to him immediately shut up.

"Eh? Is that Nightingale-sensei?"

The three people gathered around, cheering continuously.

One of them took out a silver key and handed it back to Ziyao.

A few days ago, Mei was not around, and they needed to borrow Valkyrie equipment, so they had no choice but to act first and ask for permission later.

Mei is academically excellent, powerful, humble, and polite, perfectly embodying the students' image of a "young lady."

Therefore, the girl is very popular in St. Freya, and because of her unique personality, she is like a flower on a high mountain, and has become the so-called ice queen.

Due to various factors, the students deliberately kept their distance from her, showing both admiration and a slight fear.

"Yes, please go back. I will give it to her."

"Thank you, teacher. May you rest in peace."

After putting away the key, Ziyao left the dormitory and went to the familiar infirmary.

Several documents were on the desk. Upon closer inspection, they turned out to be resignation letters, signed with the words "Nightingale".

The call connected, and Theresa's apologetic voice came through very quickly.

Previously, Theresa had rejected Ziyao's application due to suspicion, but she couldn't find a reason.

Seeing that she wasn't a Valkyrie, I just filled in the information randomly, and to my surprise, it actually passed.

Therefore, procedurally, Ziyao can only take a position at other Valkyrie schools in Europe.

I never expected my good intentions would backfire.

"......It doesn't matter."

"As compensation, how about you give me a back door?"

Valkyrie Exam.....

I never imagined I would have to take the test to obtain the Valkyrie status.

This way, he could stay by the girls' side and wait for an opportunity to act.

From teacher to student...

Ziyao didn't care much, as this way she could avoid the moral risks associated with her identity.

All that's left is to ensure a smooth handover of the work.

After organizing the documents and planning the infirmary, it was already noon.

"Thank you for your kindness, but I'm not thirsty."

Beside the grove, Mei had just finished her morning training and was resting on a bench with Kiana.

A student mustered up the courage to approach her and strike up a conversation, but was politely rejected.

But that's normal. Mei keeps her distance from most people, so it would be strange if she succeeded.

"Mei, you look so beautiful today, even I'm a little tempted!"

The girl had specially changed into a special summer outfit today, mainly in blue and white tones, with lace trim at the neckline, maintaining a pure look while exuding a cool and youthful vibe.

She wore white over-the-knee socks under her dress, which accentuated the girl's slender and shapely legs.

A gentle breeze rustled by, and Mei's beautiful figure remained in everyone's heart.

"Azusa... Nightingale teacher?"

"You don't need to call me teacher anymore."

"Eh....?"

Kiana was puzzled at first, then immediately hugged him, tugging at his clothes reluctantly.

"You're leaving St. Freya Academy??"

"You guessed wrong. Let Theresa reveal the answer tonight."

Pushing aside the lively Kiana, Ziyao returned the silver key to Mei.

"Ahem... Kiana really is close to Nightingale."

Mei puffed out her cheeks slightly, a hint of dissatisfaction in her voice.

"Oh right, Mei!"

"Now that the teacher has woken up, let's have a celebration today!"

The original plan was to hold a celebration party for Ziyao's discharge from the hospital, but it was interrupted because of the Jizo Mitama.

Kiana was very grateful for Ziyao's help. While she was unconscious, she could feel a warm and kind figure protecting her.

and.....

She wanted to carefully and slowly confirm the rest of her feelings.

"Let's skip the celebration..."

Upon hearing this, Ziyao hesitated.

She doesn't really like lively scenes.

Often, the excitement has nothing to do with her; she's just there as an accompaniment in the corner.

Now that I've become the center, I feel more uncomfortable than happy.

"That won't do. Everyone has already agreed, and Wendy will be coming too."

"Thank you for your hard work. I will be there on time."
