Miss Riddler just wants to level up in peace.

One-sided listening leads to ignorance, while listening to both sides leads to enlightenment; adopting the opinions of others is a good approach.

Ziyao took the instruction manual and looked at the source of the trouble—the old-fashioned CRT television.

She received a DVD from an old friend containing old movies and wanted to play it.

Ziyao recognized the model number; Fu Hua had carefully replaced the parts.

She picked up the screwdriver, took two steps forward, and then threw it back into the toolbox.

Fu Hua was completely confused. What was going on?

"Clap!"

The next moment, the girl plugged in the power and started hitting the TV hard.

Immediately afterwards, there was a flash of white light, and then the machine started up successfully.

"That's how electronic devices are sometimes; if they don't work, just give them a good whack."

"I see, thank you for your guidance..."

Fu Hua nodded, seemingly lost in thought.

Unexpectedly, the thing I had been tinkering with for so long was fixed by Ziyao with just a couple of taps.

The precision instrument Otto gave me yesterday also malfunctioned. Did tapping it a few times fix it?

"It may not necessarily succeed, but at least it will make me feel better."

Seeing that Fu Hua seemed to really believe it, Zi Yao added.

Insert the DVD into the narrow slit, the green light comes on, and it begins to spin, displaying the read content on the television.

This is a documentary that explains the history of martial arts and weapon fighting, and also indirectly expresses the Darwinian theory of natural selection.

Back in the dorm, Theresa was sitting on the sofa waiting for her, her face slightly flushed and dissatisfied.

The girl held a set of black and white fabric, adorned with beautiful lace.

Without a doubt, this is a maid outfit.

"What's going on with these clothes!?"

“Teachers should set an example and not break their promises, Theresa.”

In New Zealand, in order to get Ziyao's help, Theresa agreed to work as a maid for a week.

"Can I not wear it...? Fu Hua is back today."

Although she likes cute clothes, maid outfits and stuff like that...

"No problem, but the time will have to be doubled. If you wear it, it can be shortened by three days."

Theresa was easily tricked by Ziyao. In reality, wearing a uniform is not strictly required to be a maid; this was just Ziyao's little quirky hobby.

In fact, she is very clean and there is almost nothing in the place that needs help from others to tidy up.

"Tsk... Fine, I'll wear it. By the way, was Kiana in your room last night?"

Theresa changed the subject and picked up a broom to clean Ziyao's room.

"No."

"So what did you talk about on the balcony?"

Theresa was very concerned when she saw the girl sneaking out of the room last night.

"You have to ask him directly. See, he's back now."

The white-haired girl looked confused. "Huh? Why are you asking this? I couldn't sleep last night, so I went to the arcade to play."

"..."

Theresa put down the broom and said earnestly, "Kiana, you are still young. I hope you can maintain a healthy relationship."

In terms of stance, she is aligned with Bronya.

I don't oppose free love, but there should at least be some boundaries.

"Dating? I've explained it so many times, we're really just friends!"

"I don't have anyone I like yet, how could I possibly date someone...?"

Kiana felt that Ziyao was more like a good friend than a lover, someone she was willing to play games with, and whose grades seemed to be poor.

“…”

Theresa sighed. Well, Kiana will be an adult next year anyway, as long as she doesn't go too far.

Although the two usually get along well, they aren't that close. Could it be that Bronya really misjudged?

When Theresa opened the washing machine lid, she saw folded bedding inside.

There seem to be clothes underneath. How could I be so careless? These two items should be washed separately.

As she took out the pristine white quilt, she noticed a few fallen petals scattered on it, and her movements froze instantly.

"Eh....?"

Kiana's face flushed red instantly, and at the same time, her heart tightened for some reason.

(P.S.: Adjusting my sleep schedule, preparing for a surge in updates!)

Volume 1: Chapter 97 Kiana on the Boundary Line (Part 4)

Ziyao couldn't hold back anymore.

It felt like a public execution; the moment she saw the bedsheets, she was completely devastated.

The two powers harm each other, whichever is less.

There's always a way to overcome difficulties, so in desperation, I had no choice but to say that it was caused by my period.

Girls always have a few days each month when they feel unwell, so this is the perfect excuse.

Theresa was skeptical and secretly glanced at Kiana.

"You didn't do anything, did you?"

"Auntie!"

The girl said indignantly, "How could that be? You're just overthinking it. We're not in that kind of relationship."

Humans are good at connecting things and finding the truth they want in the chain of causality.

Kiana recalled seeing Mei and Ziyao in the grove not long ago.

They said they were going to training, but ended up having lunch in a quiet grove of trees, and they were being so affectionate...

The red flowers adorning the pristine white bedding seemed all the more glaring, causing me to hold my breath and feel a pang of sadness.

Could it be...

The deeper I thought about it, the hotter my face became.

A blush-inducing scene flashed by.

No, they've only known each other for less than a month, how could they have gotten together so quickly?

Is there a misunderstanding about Mei?

After returning from Jizo's Soul, even Kiana knew that something was wrong with her condition.

Even after leaving the dream, the influence of those illusions remains.

Rather, the fox disguised as a bell didn't lie; it simply revealed the long-buried truth.

Upon waking up, he immediately went to look for his old things and even secretly ran into the archives.

She tried to find clues to prove that they were false.

However, things rarely go as planned.

All evidence suggests that what the other party said is correct.

Among countless fragmented memories, she also saw a scene.

A gentle, white-haired girl sat beside her, and the electronic screen kept flashing, but the two of them forgot about the time.

Just reminiscing about it warms my heart, and I vaguely feel that it is a very precious memory.

"Huh? Kiana??"

Kiana silently left the room, leaving Theresa completely bewildered. What had she done wrong?

"Ahem, I'll wash the blankets myself. Headmaster, you can go out now. I need to rest for a while too."

Before things got out of control, Ziyao gave them the order to leave.

She finally breathed a sigh of relief after closing the door completely.

Mei texted her not to wash the sheets. Seriously, what is she thinking?

Turn on the air conditioner, and the cold air quickly overcomes the summer heat.

At the same time, Ziyao used the doll to summon Guanxing.

She wore a snow-white robe with a velvet collar, and a fitted lotus-leaf skirt that cascaded down her back, tied at the waist with a butterfly knot that resembled a flower.

With a feather fan and a blue silk scarf, he destroyed the enemy's masts and oars in the midst of laughter and conversation.

Like a lotus in its infancy, she embraces all things, maintaining her cuteness while also possessing a resourceful and shrewd nature.

The only downside is... it's a bit short.

"Yes, I like this outfit very much."

Standing in front of the full-length mirror, Guan Xing repeatedly examined herself, while her true form, Zi Yao, checked the amount of mental energy consumed.

Having just upgraded her Puppet Master talent, she wanted to test whether there were truly no more distance limitations.

But... isn't your stargazing personality a bit too strong?

Compared to the ease with which other dolls are handled, this one seems completely natural.

Using it for stargazing feels somewhat awkward and stiff.
