Everyone was a little tired, so they lay down on the grass.

Yefried took out a lot of snacks for the children, and then lay down herself.

Everyone looked at the stars and chatted together.

Only then did Yefried ask, "Did everyone see the terrible monster in the yard?"

The children were silent for a moment, then nodded.

"You saw it last night too?"

"Ah."

"What does it look like?"

“…” said an older boy. “It was very tall, as tall as the ceiling. It was dark and looked like a human, but it was hunched over and walked very slowly. It also had a tail. We couldn’t see it clearly, so we didn’t know the details. It also made a ‘woo-woo’ sound like crying.”

“That’s truly horrible,” Yefrit said. “Was this what everyone saw last night?”

"Mmm-hmm." The children all nodded.

Yefrit said, "But Sister Mirajane didn't see it. Maybe she was dozing off, or maybe she was just being lazy. What time did you see it last night?"

One child said, "Not long after the lights were turned off."

"Lights out at 10:30 p.m.," the dean added.

“And then everyone saw it,” Yefrit said, always appearing very trusting of everyone. She then asked, “Did he just walk through the yard? Did he do anything else?”

“It seems like I’m not doing anything else, but I pass by every night, and it’s scary,” one child replied.

“Indeed.” Yevli nodded, then asked, “So where did it come from, and where is it going?”

The older boy who had answered earlier pointed in a direction and said, "They came from that direction, but we don't know where they're going. We wouldn't dare follow them."

"Oh?" Yefrit exclaimed in surprise, "From the northwest, they didn't come in through the gate? Then they climbed over the wall."

"Yes." Everyone nodded.

"What's your name?" Yefrit asked, looking at the slightly older boy who had calmly answered her questions several times.

“My name is Ryrom,” Ryrom replied.

"Ryrom" Yefrit laughed, "You seem to be a very clever child. I love talking to clever children. How about this, you sleep with me tonight? I can tell you a lot of things, anything you want to know."

"..." Ryrom's expression was full of refusal, and he said hesitantly, "No, it's not necessary."

“Why? That’s a really disappointing answer,” Yefrit laughed.

“I don’t like sleeping with people I’m not very familiar with,” Rherom said.

“How about this,” Yefrit said, “In order to catch that monster, Miss Mirajane, the Dean, and I will take turns staying up all night in the hall. With the Dean keeping you company, you’ll be able to get some sleep, right?”

"It's settled then!" the dean said suddenly, her tone firm. Although she didn't know why Yefrit insisted on this, she would definitely support Yefrit.

"Oh," Rerom replied, his tone less than enthusiastic.

Chapter 260, Mirajane: How could I bear it?

After chatting for a while longer.

The dean, seeing that it was almost time, told everyone to go to sleep.

Yefrit, the Dean, Mirajane, and Rerom were all resting in the hall.

The other children were accompanied by several staff members from the facility.

"Time is up--"

"Lights out!"

The dean gave the instructions.

The lights in the yard didn't all go out at once.

First, the lights were turned off in places like the playground and canteen, then gradually moved to the rest rooms, and finally the lights-out process was completed at 10:30 pm.

“Ah—” Rherom said, his voice trembling, “I saw it, it was right there.”

Hear the words.

The three adults quickly looked outside, but there was nothing there.

Apart from Yefrit, Mirajane and the Dean both frowned.

“You said he wouldn’t hurt anyone, so you can go to sleep peacefully. I’ll go out and check,” Yefrit said.

"." Ryrom obediently lay down in bed.

Mirajane was about to follow when Yefrit beckoned to her that she could.

After leaving the room.

Mirajane said, "Actually... there's no such monster, right?"

If she hadn't discovered it, perhaps the monster really was hiding very well.

But Yevlit made no move at all.

If Yefrit cannot find it, then it simply does not exist!

After all, Yefrit's deception magic directly targets living individuals, unless the other party is not a living being!

"Mmm." Yevlite nodded, reached out, and hooked Mirajane's little hand over to hold it.

“Where are we going?” Mirajane asked.

“Go to the children,” Yevlit said.

“Go see their reaction? But you’re walking so slowly,” Mirajane said, puzzled.

If we wanted to see the children's reactions to "seeing" the monster, we should have walked faster, but Yefrit was taking a leisurely stroll, which was far too slow.

“We couldn’t see their reactions anyway; the children should have been asleep,” Yefrit said.

“Then you…” Mirajane suddenly stopped speaking, then said with some shock, “The lights over there have been off for a long time?!”

“That’s right.” Yevli nodded.

“…” Mirajane paused for a moment, then praised, “As expected of you, you saw through the lie in one go.”

“Thank you for your compliment, I’ll accept it, haha,” Yefrit laughed.

As they walked, he saw a slide ahead and pulled Mirajane over to sit down.

Mirajane was somewhat confused.

“Mira, look over there.” Yefrit pointed in a direction.

Mirajane trusted him completely. She turned her head to look, but saw nothing. When she turned back, she saw Yefriede approaching.

Mirajane's body stiffened for a moment before relaxing.

It takes a long time.

Mirajane was getting tired when she gently pushed Yefrit away.

But then she heard Yefritte's plaintive voice: "That day was my first time, but you got me drunk, and I didn't experience anything."

Mirajane burst out laughing.

"Do you remember what happened after we met?"

“I don’t remember anything at all. What else did you do after that?” Yefried asked, her hands starting to wander upwards as she asked, “Did you rub it?”

“No.” Mirajane grabbed his hand, which was about to play a prank, and said, “After that, you bullied every single girl.”

"..." Yefried was startled, then began to recall.

Then I couldn't remember anything.

She suddenly felt even more cheated: "I'm the one who got bullied! You forced a swig of red wine down my throat, and I don't even know what happened!"

“That’s exactly what I wanted – for you to know nothing,” Mirajane laughed. “If you had been awake, things would have been complicated; you would have hurt them.”

Yefried was silent for a moment, then said, "I don't quite understand you."

Mirajane's behavior logic is very strange.

Or rather, they are inconsistent.

Mirajane smiled and said, "Your mindset has changed."

"Mindset?" Yefried asked.

Mirajane nodded: "Yeah, at first, I was only thinking about defeating everyone."

"Later I saw the turtledove. She was stupid and didn't know how to try. She was no threat at all."

"That girl is so stupid that it makes me want to laugh. But her hard work also touches me."

"I figured you're a nobleman anyway, and it's normal for a nobleman to have a maid, so I agreed."

Yefrit knew Mirajane's attitude towards Turtledove, so Turtledove was originally not allowed to go up to the second floor—Yefrit valued her private territory very much, but now Turtledove could come up freely and even took over some of Miko's work.

"Later, I saw Sidrina and Anita again."

What did they do wrong?

"It is clearly Yefrit who is wrong."

Yefrit: "."

“Compared to,” Mirajane tilted her head slightly, then said, “perhaps I have more sympathy.”

"After all, I have already won completely. I am the one in control. I don't need to be jealous of anyone."

"At that moment, I actually felt sorry for them."

“So,” Mirajane looked directly into Yefrit’s eyes and said, “I’ve decided to do something.”

"What are you doing?" Yefrit asked.

“Each of them asks for something different, and not much at all,” Mirajane said. “After I understood this, I decided to help them.”

Mirajane gave an example: "The dove never fantasized about being a master; she only wanted to be a maid, and what she asked for most was that her master would occasionally bully her."
