Miss Riddler just wants to level up in peace.

"Thank you, I'm fine now."

Ziyao took out a change of clothes from the wardrobe and opened the bathroom door.

Mei went to prepare dinner, while Theresa checked on Wendy's condition at the Destiny Hospital.

Speaking of which, it seems the class monitor will be back in a couple of days.

Mei wanted to introduce Ziyao to Fu Hua, as Ziyao had not only broken through her bottleneck but also learned a different kind of swordsmanship.

..

“Swishing…”

In the bathroom, the girl changed her clothes one by one.

I still have some Sakura Fragments left from the morning gacha pulls, which can replenish the number of times I can use the doll. It's not a big deal to reduce the number of times I can use it by one or two.

After turning on the bathtub faucet, Ziyao summoned another version of herself, or rather, a doll-like version of herself.

The black-haired girl sat gracefully on a small stool, wearing a white dress with jasmine flowers carved on the sash.

Starting with adorable little feet, white over-the-knee stockings wrap around the legs, fully showcasing their shapely, long, and alluring shape.

".....I see."

They spoke at the same time, observing each other.

This is the first time Ziyao has controlled two bodies simultaneously.

Each time she controls a puppet or another person, her real body becomes somewhat dazed. Although she can hear others speaking and make basic reactions, the delay is particularly high.

There was nothing that could be done; their mental strength was simply insufficient.

Unlike others, controlling one's own puppet is somewhat different.

Ziyao was surprised to find that it consumed very little mental energy and supported multi-threading.

No wonder it requires three times the amount of materials; it's definitely worth the price.

Like a mirror, they look almost exactly alike.

The touch, sound, and sight... are slightly different, but surprisingly harmonious.

This feeling is strange; it's clearly one person's consciousness, yet it's divided into two parts.

correct.

The girl looked at the girl in the dress and suddenly had a good idea.

"Drip, drip, drip..."

Turn on the shower, and hot water pours down.

A hazy white mist filled the entire bathroom, and the occasional sound of a young girl's panting could be heard.

“It hurts so much…”

I have no experience in combing other people's hair, and I'm not used to using two bodies at the same time.

My hair, wet with water, became incredibly smooth thanks to the lubricating shower gel.

However, the comb pulled right into the knot of hair, and several strands of hair were pulled out.

Hot water soaked the girl's dress, revealing glimpses of her skin.

Ziyao's cheeks flushed, and the dream she had that morning suddenly flashed through her mind.

A beautiful scene, a flame that is hard to extinguish...

An idea popped into her mind, but she immediately rejected it.

To do something to yourself... that's too shameful...

After becoming a girl, I always felt that I was much more sensitive and my behavior became more and more feminine.

Some movements, which she had never tried before, seemed to come from muscle memory.

Whether it's combing your hair or getting dressed.

Ziyao had considered the possibility that she might have experienced a similar life before.

Perhaps it was because I had been enduring it for too long, or perhaps it was because of the strange dream I had this morning.

My legs couldn't help but rub against each other; the smooth, delicate feeling was very comfortable.

"Dong dong dong..."

Suddenly, there was a knock on the bathroom door.

Volume 1: Chapter 73 A School Life Intertwined with Troubles and Trouble? (Part 3)

No.

Why would someone knock on the bathroom door?

Ziyao almost habitually said "Please come in," but then suddenly remembered that she was taking a shower.

"Ms. Nightingale, aren't you changing your clothes today?"

After picking up the clothes, Ziyao, being a bit forgetful, habitually threw them into the basket.

Dinner was almost ready when Mei noticed that Ziyao hadn't come out for a long time and hadn't even brought her clothes in, so she became a little worried.

On that rainy night in New Zealand a few days ago, she clearly saw the girl suffer fatal injuries.

It seems impossible for it to recover so easily, right?

Perhaps there is some hidden illness, but Teacher Nightingale chose to hide it so as not to worry them?

So Mei came over to check, just in case something went wrong.

"Close the door for me, I'll get it later."

Luckily, Mei reminded me, otherwise it would have been very embarrassing to run out naked to get my clothes.

No, I still have a doll.

When the other party knocked on the door, Ziyao immediately put away the doll.

I was terrified. I would have wanted to die if someone saw me generating electricity.

I turned the shower to its highest setting and rinsed my hands clean.

After soaking for a while, Ziyao changed into dry new clothes.

The door opened, and the girls gathered around a table, happily preparing for dinner.

Familiar routines bring a sense of peace.

It seems things will return to normal for the next while.

This is fine too; a simple life is the best.

Fleeting moments of happiness can easily obscure the true reality.

This world is not perfect, which is why we should cherish it.

"Idiot Kiana, go wash your hands first."

"I know, I know."

Today's dishes were plentiful, but mostly light. To satisfy someone's cravings, Mei specially prepared a dipping sauce.

"Sorry I'm late—"

Theresa pushed open the door and came back carrying a sword.

The sword is predominantly red, making it very eye-catching.

Ziyao's hand holding the chopsticks froze instantly.

———Jizo Mitama.

A key of the gods made from the core of the Herrscher of Erosion.

Her mental strength far surpasses that of ordinary Valkyries, so she can clearly sense the power emanating from her.

"Headmaster, where did you get that sword?"

"Rita sent it over, saying we were responsible for keeping it safe. I'll put it in the underground database later."

"Rita... Could it be Bishop Otto's idea?"

Ziyao opened her phone and found the previous chat history.

[Otto: The 'gift' has been delivered to St. Freya Academy. Wishing us a successful collaboration...]

really.

Otto is about to take action.

Two weeks ago, the Herrscher of the Void briefly awakened, which is undoubtedly a signal.

Otto estimates that he plans to proceed with the next step, intending to revive the Herrscher of the Void.

How do you plan to fully awaken the Herrscher?

Otto wouldn't change his mind about something so important.

Ziyao planned to pry some clues out of Otto to find out what his plan was, so she could prepare a response.

"My stomach is growling, Auntie Period, hurry up!"

Theresa placed the Jizo Statue and sat on the specially raised chair.

The sudden turn of events caused Ziyao to lose her appetite.

My phone vibrated slightly; Otto had sent a reply.

"Thank you for the meal, I'm finished eating."

After putting down her chopsticks, Ziyao returned to her room.

The girl's strange behavior caught Mei's attention.
