Miss Riddler just wants to level up in peace.

After much pleading and cajoling, Ziyao finally agreed.

"Great, Mei, Nightingale-sensei agreed."

Without further ado, Kiana decided to go back to her dorm to plan tonight's party.

What fun games should we prepare?

Everyone getting together will definitely have a lot of fun.

The message was sent and a reply was received quickly.

[Bronya: Orders received, preparing to begin]

In the blink of an eye, Kiana left the grove.

How is she?

After emerging from Jizo's Soul, Ziyao slept for a whole day and had no idea what happened afterward.

"The cognitive bias has been corrected, but despite her appearance, she was quite upset all night."

Kiana remembers having other family members, but her hazy memories make it difficult to explore further. It is this flaw that gives Jizo Mitama an opportunity to exploit.

"Compared to this..."

As she spoke, Mei's eyes heated up, and she stepped forward to take the other person's hand.

"What happened the night before last..."

Seeing the two so intimate, she couldn't help but feel a little jealous.

I've endured it all day, and it's almost too late to keep going.

Now, all she wanted was to take advantage of the flirtatious girl in front of her.

"Wait... let's go back to our room first..."

Ziyao glanced around, her cheeks slightly flushed, worried that someone might come over.

If someone were to pass by at this moment, they would surely be surprised that the aloof Mei actually has a girl she likes.

Of course, this is not good news.

Book 1: Chapter 92 The King's Game (Part 3)

Mei only received a small amount of interest because she needed to prepare for the celebration later.

However, a little rain only makes one thirstier.

It's all because Ziyao kept it from them for so long.

As Mei walked along the school path, her gaze remained almost entirely fixed on Ziyao.

Back in the dorm, Kiana installed the ambient lighting, while Bronya sat on the sofa organizing game cartridges.

Mei changed into an apron and took out the groceries she had recently purchased from the refrigerator.

Wendy is here today too, so dinner will naturally be very lavish.

"Nightingale teacher, it's a pleasure to meet you. I apologize for not introducing myself properly back then."

Wendy held a bouquet of paper flowers, her face slightly flushed, her gaze shifting, not daring to meet Ziyao's eyes.

She painstakingly folded all thirty-two lilies, and remade over a hundred more to ensure they were beautiful and delicate.

However, she didn't find it boring at all; in fact, it seemed so insignificant compared to what the girl had done for her.

She thought she was destined to die and refused to trust anyone.

As a result, the teacher not only kept the agreement, but also did not hold a grudge even though she was seriously injured, and did not ask for anything in return.

Something has to be done...

If we do nothing and receive such kindness in vain, it is not only a betrayal of our own conscience, but also a disservice to everyone's good intentions.

"Take care of my daily life?"

"Hmm, I heard that the headmaster has to be your maid for a week, and I'd like to help out!"

"I appreciate your kind offer, but how about you show me around the academy in a few days?"

Simply refusing is not appropriate. Just as you should give a small gift when asking someone for a favor, after your edges have been smoothed out by society, you will naturally learn a set of principles for dealing with things.

"Hmm....Hmm...?"

Girls like Wendy are easily fooled; lacking social experience, she was easily tricked by Ziyao.

She had planned what to say after refusing, but she didn't expect the other party to choose a compromise.

"Wendy? How are you feeling? I heard you were discharged from the hospital yesterday?"

Theresa walked into the living room carrying a uniform, with Jizo's Soul in her right hand.

"Thanks to everyone, my Herrscher powers have completely disappeared, and my leg..."

As she spoke, she took two easy steps forward and then looked at Ziyao with gratitude.

"Nightingale, please come here for a moment."

Given Ziyao's familiarity with Jizo's Soul, Theresa decided to let her keep it temporarily.

Ziyao said it was fine and hung it directly on the bedroom wall.

Soon after, Himeko arrived with her treasured sake and helped decorate the dormitory.

"Bronya, what's a good way to play tonight?"

Tables and chairs, hanging table, new sofa...

After carefully completing the setup, Kiana breathed a sigh of relief; it was even more tiring than fighting a Honkai Beast.

"You idiot Kiana, aren't you playing Street Fighter anymore?"

Normally, the girl would definitely recommend this game with great enthusiasm.

"With so many people, we need to play games that everyone can accept, right? I don't know much about games..."

As a seasoned gamer, Bronya certainly knows which games are suitable for playing together.

"I feel that Kiana has matured a bit since returning from Jizo Mitama."

At first, Bronya wanted to arrange the hanging lamps herself.

Given Kiana's temperament, she'll definitely ruin several more.

Unexpectedly, she completed the task excellently, carefully wiping down the tables and chairs, and showing less of her usual carefree attitude.

"No way, I've always been very mature, okay?"

"You're really not good at being praised."

As dusk approached, everyone gathered around the dining table.

It's dinnertime.

The only ones who can drink alcohol are Ziyao, Jizi, and Theresa, whose drink is mixed with bitter melon juice.

"Teacher Nightingale, try this!"

Kiana placed the food into Ziyao's bowl; these were takoyaki that she had helped make.

There were quite a few people today, so naturally, Kiana and Ziyao were sitting very close together, since there weren't enough empty seats.

"Idiot Kiana, eating too much of this will make you feel hot and bothered."

So, Ziyao got another serving of green vegetables in her bowl.

Today is a celebration banquet, and the ban on drinking alcohol has been lifted.

Himeko would occasionally urge Ziyao to drink, as she had finally met someone who had also been a corporate slave and could drink, and she felt a strong connection with her.

The dinner was lively, and everyone was very happy.

Only Mei's world is complete.

Not long after finishing the last dish, she found that the seats next to Ziyao were all taken, so she could only sit between Himeko and Theresa.

Seeing the girls so close together, the cold dish without vinegar seemed to have turned a little sour.

stare......

The atmosphere was getting lively when Theresa stood up and told everyone something.

Starting the day after tomorrow, Ziyao will participate in the Valkyrie assessment as a student and study together.

"Huh? Does that mean I can't drink with Nightingale anymore?"

Himeko said dejectedly.

"Of course, Himeko, you should also restrain yourself. This stuff is bad for your health."

"Nightingale teacher...are we going to be classmates?"

Wendy wondered, since the girl was about the same age as them, it didn't seem strange.

But usually it's the students who become the teachers; it's rare to see the other way around.

No wonder Ziyao mentioned earlier that she should take her to visit the academy in a few days. Is that what she meant?

"Bronya will tutor Nightingale."

Bronya accepted the idea immediately, finding it somewhat novel.

It's not the only one.

Then, something else happened that caught everyone off guard.

Ziyao explained herself and revealed her real name.

"It really was an alias?!"

Even Theresa was surprised.

Whose name will be a bird?

Ziyao made a joke for the first time in a long time. It was obvious from the sound that it was a code name, and very few people would choose such a name.
