Wizard: The exploration panel keeps me pure.

As soon as Alice said this, the black cat named Kasha revealed a sly smile: things had indeed gone as she expected. After spending so many years with Alice, how could she not know what the little girl was thinking?

What I just said was nothing more than a simple provocation.

This method proved to be quite effective at dealing with a naive young girl.

Kaisa slowly turned her face towards him; the smile from before was gone, replaced by a profound sadness.

"Since you won't tell me anything, what do you want me to do? Things have come to this point, and I don't think there's any need for us to continue talking."

If Ron were here, he would probably immediately think of those scheming women who called others "brother" and "sister" in his past life. The cat's words at this moment are exactly the same as those women's.

However, Alice was just a little girl, and she couldn't possibly understand that a cat could have such wicked thoughts.

The girl puffed out her cheeks and said in a soft, sweet voice:

"Kasha, we're best friends. If anything happens, I'll definitely tell you. But I really can't tell you about this man right now. I promise you, when the day comes that I can, I'll tell you everything without holding anything back. Really, I promise."

The girl, as if making a vow, raised three fingers of her right hand and looked at the black cat in front of her with a determined expression.

Kasha originally thought the girl was going to tell her the reason, but after trying to get information out of her for a long time, she still couldn't get any useful information out of her. This made her doubt herself: Had she not used this trick for too long and had she become rusty?

However, seeing the girl's serious expression, she finally sighed and chose not to ask any further questions.

After all, the two were childhood friends. Since the other party said they couldn't tell her yet, there must be a compelling reason. In this regard, she trusted Alice completely.

"Alright, alright, since you don't want to say, I won't ask anymore. But you must be careful to protect yourself. After all, the other person is a man. As long as he's a man, he'll always have some dirty thoughts in his heart, especially towards a pretty and cute girl like you."

The black cat's large, deep green eyes stared unblinkingly at the girl in front of it.

Although she didn't get the information she wanted from the other person, her years of friendship still made her worry about the girl.

These days, young girls like Alice are most easily seduced by men.

"No, I have to keep a close eye on Alice so she doesn't get scammed and end up counting her money for them."

Upon realizing this, the cat, which had already reached the window, immediately retracted its paw and then gracefully and calmly ran back to its little nest, rolled over, and lay down to rest.

Alice breathed a sigh of relief as she watched her playmate finally stop pressing for answers. Although she wanted to tell her, thinking about what had happened before, she could only sigh inwardly.

"I'm sorry, Kasha, I didn't mean to, please forgive me."

Waiting for the kitten to crawl back to its nest, the girl's smile returned, and she sat down on the sofa by the coffee table once more to chat with Kasha.

The topic naturally centered on Ron, who was still asleep.

"So, what do you think of that guy's appearance? Don't you feel a little flutter in your heart?"

"Oh dear, I've already told you not to keep calling someone 'that guy' like that. It's very impolite. If he hears that when he wakes up, he'll definitely be angry."

"I only said that in front of you. If that guy woke up, I definitely wouldn't have said that. Don't worry, I'm not stupid."

The two of them chatted about this and that until the sun went down.

……

Meanwhile, in the room, Ron, lying on the bed, opened his pale green eyes once more. His unfocused pupils stared unblinkingly at the unfamiliar ceiling, as memories of his previous unconsciousness flooded his mind.

"Hiss~"

The pain in his body made the boy lying on the bed gasp, followed by a wave of thirst and hunger.

Out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of a glass of clear liquid on the bedside table. He tried with all his might to sit up and drink the water, but the wave of weakness that washed over him made him abandon the idea immediately.

The noise coming from inside the room was naturally heard by the person and the cat outside.

The noise coming from inside the room was naturally heard by the person and the cat outside.

Alice gently pushed open the door, poked her little head in, and glanced at the boy lying on the bed, staring wide-eyed at her.

"Sir, you're awake?"

Ron blinked; he was too weak to even nod, and this was the only way he could respond to the other person.

Seeing the boy's actions, Alice smiled brightly, then quietly pushed open the door and squeezed in.

"Water~"

Hearing the exact same words as before, the girl wasn't surprised. After all, people who have just woken up usually have this need. With her fair little hand, she picked up the water glass from the bedside table and then slowly stretched out her other hand to let the boy sit up against the headboard.

Feeling the girl's gentle movements and the water being poured into his mouth like rain after a long drought, Ron finally recovered.

The body, which had been extremely weak, regained a sliver of strength.

Even after finishing his glass of water, he still glanced at the smiling girl with lingering interest.

Seeing his appearance, Alice immediately understood what he was thinking. She quickly left the room and soon returned with a glass of water, repeating her previous actions to feed him the water.

After finishing both glasses of water, Ron felt completely revitalized.

Only then did he have the mind to examine the layout of the room. The room, which was predominantly pink, was filled with all sorts of dolls. The walls were covered with all kinds of strange graffiti and paintings, as well as some models that emitted a faint glow, like crystals. This was a style completely different from his previous dormitory at the academy.

"Excuse me, ma'am, where am I right now?"

The boy's weak voice echoed in the room, and Alice, listening to his words, naturally replied:

"This is my home. I found you lying outside alone when I went on a picnic. You seemed to be badly injured, so I brought you back. You're welcome."
