I, Yuhaka, am hungry!

"Miss, I've brought the soup in."

Seeing Carol bring in the soup she made, Linslet took the pot from Carol, placed it on the table, and opened the lid. Immediately, the aroma of stewed chicken soup wafted from the pot. Claire, who was standing nearby, couldn't help but swallow. Yuhaka also smelled the stewed chicken soup and stood on tiptoe, craning her neck to look at the soup in the pot. From it, Yuhaka could see a thick soup with onions and bone-in chicken.

Seeing this, Linslet, puffing out her impressive chest with a slightly smug look, said:

"How about it? This is onion soup I made myself! Want some, Youyou? Just call me 'big sister,' and I'll give you some!"

Hearing Linslet's words, Yuhaka rubbed his rumbling stomach, raised a small hand, and looked at Linslet shamelessly, saying:

"Sister, Youyou wants to eat ☆w☆/~" (Who said she was shameless before?)

Upon hearing Yuhaka's bright-eyed expression as she called her "older sister," Linslet also wore a satisfied expression, seemingly thoroughly enjoying herself.

Chapter 654 [Happy National Day]

After Yuhaka called her "sister," Linslet felt a sense of satisfaction. Then, Linslet turned to Claire, who was standing beside her, and said:

"Claire, do you want some? If you bark like a dog a few times and become my slave, you can try this soup~"

Upon hearing Linslet's words, Claire immediately bristled and glared at Linslet, saying:

"Meow! Who wants to bark like a dog?! You're the one who steals other people's things!"

Upon hearing Claire's words, Linslet was stunned for a moment, then pointed at Claire with a very angry expression and said:

"You! You...you're calling someone a puppy—!?"

Seeing Linslet's angry expression, Claire, with a matter-of-fact look, pointed at Linslet, revealing her little fangs, and said:

"It's a puppy! Isn't your family crest a puppy?!"

Hearing Claire's words, Linslet, enraged, waved her hands in front of her chest and said:

“That’s a wolf! Lauren Frost’s sigil is a proud white wolf! Not some little dog!”

"White Wolf? I think it should be changed to Chihuahua, right?"

Linslet was also angered by Claire's provocation. Lowering her voice, Linslet glared at Claire and said:

"Claire Lucho...you've really angered me..."

Suddenly, Yuhaka and Carol, who were drinking soup at the nearby table, also felt the surrounding temperature drop rapidly. Yuhaka perked up its ears and big tail, looking towards Linslet and Claire, while Carol tugged at Yuhaka's sleeve and said:

"Alright~ Yoyo-chan, come with me quickly, or we might get caught in their crossfire~"

As she spoke, Carol skillfully picked up the pot from the table and placed it in the kitchen of the room. She then poked her head out from the doorway and waved to Yuhaka. Upon seeing Carol's actions, Yuhaka, holding the soup bowl in his hand, followed Carol into the kitchen and peeked out to look at the two, Linslet and Claire, who were facing off.

"Cold-blooded beasts with icy fangs, ruthless hunters of the forest! Fulfill the blood pact here and obey my command!"

As Linslet chanted a summoning spell in Elvish, a violent ice storm arose above her. From the roaring vortex of ice and snow, a figure slowly emerged—a wolf with silver fur and ice crystals.

"Dog OwO?"

After seeing Linslet's elf, Yuhaka tilted his head and said this, while Carol, who was smiling beside Yuhaka, explained to him:

"That's Miss Linslet's contracted spirit—the Ice Spirit Fenrir!"

Hearing Carol's explanation, Yuhaka had an "I see" look on his face, while Claire, seeing Fenrir summoned by Linslet, snorted and flicked her twin tails, saying:

"Hmph, your little dog is still the same as ever, only its fur color is barely acceptable."

Linslet, equally furious at Claire's words, retorted with gritted teeth:

"You! You said it was a puppy! How dare you insult the Lauren Frost family! I will never forgive you, you flat-chested girl! Fenrir, go!"

Following Linslet's command, Fenrir roared and charged towards Claire. Upon hearing Linslet call her "flat-chested," Claire showed a very angry expression. After all, Claire felt very inferior about her small chest, and her temper would flare up whenever someone mentioned it.

"Who are you calling a flat-chested airport? Scarlett, come out here!"

As Claire pulled a leather whip from the leg straps binding her thigh and swung it at the ground, a crimson fire cat with scorching flames burst out from the swirling flames. The reason Claire could summon the spirit so quickly was that she had already summoned it beforehand.

The two, one of fire and one of ice, immediately began to clash. The collision of ice and fire created gusts of strong wind. The people drinking soup nearby, namely Carol and Yuhaka, did not react. Carol seemed used to it, while Yuhaka remained calm about this minor skirmish.

Suddenly, Yuhaka noticed that a fire had broken out at the window next to him. He quickly went to the bathroom, filled a bucket with water, and poured the water over the burning window. With a hiss, the fire was extinguished. Claire and Linslet, however, did not realize that their actions had set the house on fire.

Just then, accompanied by hurried footsteps, a girl with a single ponytail pushed open Claire's door and called out to the person inside:

"What are you doing! Didn't we say that private duels are forbidden within the academy?! Uh..."

Seeing the two familiar faces before her, the girl with the single ponytail immediately looked at Claire and Linslet with a headache and said:

"It's you two again..."

Claire and Linslet were stunned when they saw the girl with the single ponytail at the door. The answer was simple: the girl in front of them was Alice Frangelto, the captain of the Wind King Knights of the Aresia Elf Academy. She also served as a secretary to Dean Grevas. Incidentally, the Wind King Knights were similar to the disciplinary committee members in a school, and they also served as guards of the academy.

"Are you two trying to tear down the dorm room by making such a mess of it?!"

Regarding Alice's question, Claire and Linslet, upon seeing Alice, quickly pointed at each other and said:

"That stupid dog did it!"

"The fire was set by this airport!"

Seeing their behavior, Alice sighed helplessly. Clearly, Alice was quite familiar with Claire and Linslet, the two problem students. Alice glared at them and said:

"It's you two causing trouble again! Are you two problem students from Class Crow planning to burn down the dorm now?!"

At this moment, the knights who had been following Alice arrived behind her. However, upon seeing Claire and Linslet, the two gave her the look of someone who had spotted a rat that liked to dig holes everywhere, and said:

"...Fire Cat Claire! And Ice Demon Linslet!"

"What mischief have these two low-class problem children from the Raven Class gotten up to now...?"

Chapter 655 [Duel!]

Hearing the words of the two knights, Claire and Linslet also revealed fierce looks as they waited for the two knights to speak:

"What did you say?!"

"What did you just say?!"

However, the two knights ignored Claire and Linslet's words, focusing instead on Yuhaka, who was picking up ice cubes created by Fenrir and putting them in his mouth. Their eyes lit up as they looked at Yuhaka and said:

"Ahhh~ So cute! Just like I saw before, no! Even cuter!"

"Wow—!! Are those cat ears, horns, and tails real?!"

As for the two knights, Yuhaka was crunching on his ice cubes, looking at the knight who was swooning over him with a puzzled expression. When Alice saw Yuhaka, her eyes were immediately drawn to him. Alice had heard rumors about Yuhaka before, but at first she didn't quite believe them. After all, how could someone have dragon horns, cat ears, and a big tail?

Most importantly, someone actually said it was cute? This puzzled Alice greatly, since those things didn't seem like symbols of cuteness at all.

However, after seeing Yuhaka, Alice realized she was terribly wrong, because she was really cute!

To be honest, Alice really wanted to pat Yuhaka's little head, but due to the dignity of the leader of the Wind King Knights, Alice restrained herself from going up. She also tried not to focus her gaze on Yuhaka, but Alice's eyes would occasionally glance at Yuhaka.

When Claire and Linslet saw that the Knights were plotting against Yuhaka, they quickly stepped forward to assert their dominance, saying:

"What do you want?! Youyou is my roommate!"

"She's my little sister! Youyou just called me 'older sister' too!"

As Claire and Linslet spoke their own versions of events, one of the knights standing beside Alice scoffed and said:

"Hmph, a country aristocracy is a country aristocracy. They resort to this kind of trick to win over transfer students because they can't find teammates. How tasteless."

Upon hearing the words of that knight, Linslet's expression suddenly turned extremely ugly as she said:

"You...you actually dare to call me a country nobleman...!?"

Seeing Linslet's expression, one could tell what kind of landmine that knight had stepped on.

"That's right, the Lauren Frost family is all talk and no action; to put it bluntly, they're just a bunch of country bumpkins."

"You...you...you........!"

Seeing that her young mistress was about to get angry, Carol, who had been sneaking food with Yuhaka, was also frightened and quickly ran out to persuade her mistress:

"Miss?! Please calm down—"

Linslet, on the other hand, wore a bright smile, still exuding the air of a young lady. However, Carol could still sense the terrifying aura emanating from her young mistress's smile, clearly indicating that her mistress was very angry.

"Hmph... Hmph hmph hmph... Carol, I'm perfectly calm."

Hearing her young mistress's words, Carol broke out in a cold sweat, thinking to herself:

No, no, no, Miss, you're still not very calm after all...

Another member of the knight order looked at Claire with disdain and said:

"As for Claire Lucho, she's not even close to being a noblewoman, and she's also the sister of a traitor. Honestly, why would the academy allow someone like that to enroll—"

Before the knight could finish speaking, Claire suddenly picked up her whip, lashed it hard against the floor, and roared:

"Shut up! Or I'll burn you to a crisp!"

Claire's voice trembled slightly, her ruby-like eyes burning with silent rage, and her hand holding the whip trembled slightly as well. The room fell silent for a moment, with only the crunching sound of Yuhaka crushing chicken bones ringing out. However, due to the tense atmosphere, no one noticed Yuhaka.

Seeing the tense atmosphere, Alice slightly reprimanded the two knights, saying:

"You've gone a bit too far."

Alice then cleared her throat slightly and looked at Claire and Lindsay, saying:

"In short, I will report the damage to public property and the private fight caused by the elves to the Knights Guild as factually. I will inform you of the specific disciplinary action later. Don't do such a stupid thing again. We are very busy, you know?"

After saying that, Alice was about to leave with the two knights, but at that moment, Claire's voice came from behind her.

"Wait, Alice Frangelto, do you think you can just run away like this?"

Upon hearing Claire's words, Alice immediately stopped and turned to look at Claire, saying:

"What...what did you just say?"

Alice's tone was calm, but it was clear that she had her hand on the hilt of the sword hanging at her waist.

"Oh, you heard that? I just didn't expect the Wind King Knights to be cowards."

Upon hearing Claire's words, Alice drew her longsword, and the two knights beside her followed suit. Alice glared angrily at Claire and said:

"Claire Lucho, I will never let anyone who dares to insult the Knights go unpunished!"

In response to Alice's words, Claire flicked her whip and looked at Alice, saying:

"I'll return those words to you verbatim. You can insult me ​​all you want, but I will never allow anyone to insult my sister! Alice Frangelto, I challenge you and the two people beside you to a duel!"

Hearing Claire's words, Linslet tossed her long, flowing hair and smiled in agreement, saying:

"Claire, I will also duel with them. According to the precepts of my Lauren Frost family, anyone who dares to fool my Lauren Frost family must be punished with the teeth of revenge!"
