Miss Witch, even if we're poor, we can't sell ourselves!

As Miya came out of the ramen shop, she looked up at the sky.

The sun had completely sunk below the city skyline, and the sky overhead was transitioning from gray-blue to dark blue. The clouds were still thick, completely obscuring the last bit of sunlight.

The streetlights came on early, their orange glow stretching along both sides of the street and into the distance where it was hard to see.

The sky and Mi Ye's mood at this moment were in a subtle synchronization, both being a dull, unsettling gray-blue, a color that was hard to pinpoint exactly but just not quite pleasant.

She pulled her scarf up a bit, barely managing to wrap it around the tips of her ears, which were feeling a little chilly from the evening breeze.

On paper, this trip was profitable.

But at the same time, she learned some things she shouldn't have known, and didn't really want to know.

Autumn vines, blackbirds, the magic circuit withers...

It's too messy.

Miya stood on the street for a while, took a deep breath of the chilly evening breeze, and then exhaled.

The white mist dispersed under the streetlights, as if it were expelling some of the jumbled thoughts from my mind.

Forget it, there's no point in thinking about it now. Let's go back and talk about it later.

She took out her phone and glanced at the time: 7:12. Then she saw the WW message list in the notification bar, which was from Little Ghost.

【14: 36】

[A white kitten lying on a pillow.jpg]

Are you free this afternoon?

[I just saw the official announcement about a new event, should we log in and check it out?]

……

【16: 58】

Are you busy?

Um...did I send too many messages?

If you're busy, you don't need to reply. It's okay. I just miss you a little.

……

【19:03】

Are you angry with me?

If so, I'm sorry. I don't know what I did wrong. If I did anything to upset you, please tell me, and I will change. Please don't ignore me.

……

Miya stood on the street, looking at the messages the other person had sent from afternoon to evening on the screen. She felt a pang in her heart, a very unpleasant feeling.

She quickly unlocked the screen and started typing with both hands.

【19: 14】

No, no, no! I was at work and didn't check my phone!

[I'm not angry, absolutely not angry!!]

I'll be back soon, just a little while!!

The message was sent, and the recipient marked it as read almost instantly.

The little ghost replied instantly with an emoji; the white kitten lifted its head from the pillow, its eyes sparkling.

[Really?.jpg]

Mi Ye stared at the emoji for a moment, then sent another message in reply.

Just wait half an hour, I'll be right back!

She quit WW and quickly called herself a Didi (ride-hailing service).

Luckily, there was a car nearby, and it should arrive in two minutes.

She stood by the roadside, stamping her feet, waiting for quite a while.

The January evening wind was even more merciless than the daytime wind, seeping in through the gaps in her scarf and making her shrink her neck. Finally, after the car passed, she climbed into the back seat of the taxi and gave the driver the address of Tsuki no Mori.

Outside the car window, the night view of Bella Vita was rushing past.

The holographic projection on the high-rise building has changed several times, from a promotional video for a Christmas gift to a video about a thousand stars, and then to a music video for a new song by an idol group.

It's getting colder and colder; a cold wave must be coming soon.

God's Birthday is just a few days away. What gift should I give the little ghost?

When the taxi stopped at the school gate, Miya practically jumped out of the car.

She jogged into the school gate, ran along the main road past the row of peach trees with small wooden signs hanging on them, the branches of the peach trees casting menacing shadows under the streetlights.

When I pushed open the dormitory door, I was greeted by a familiar warmth.

The room was still lit only by the small, warm yellow lamp by Yoru's bedside. Asase and Yoru were squeezed into the same bed, the blanket pulled up to their waists, with a laptop between them. The screen was playing a live stream from MikuFans, featuring Starfall.

Hearing the door open, Asase looked up from the screen, saw it was Miya, and lazily greeted her.

"Hey, the busy man is back. What have you been up to lately? We haven't seen him anywhere."

Miya smiled somewhat awkwardly, took off her cat-ear hat and hung it on the hook behind the door, then took off her scarf, folded it neatly, and placed it at the foot of her bed.

"I went to pick up some clients; I'm running low on living expenses lately."

Asase looked up at her, his tone calm, but what he said almost made Miya choke on her own saliva.

"If you don't have enough living expenses, you can borrow from us. Don't be like that little devil in the next dorm."

"What's going on in the dorm next door?"

Miya asked a question subconsciously.

"I was broke, so I went out to sell myself. After a whole night of searching, I finally got a job, but when I got there I found out it was an undercover police sting operation. I also had to go to the academic affairs office to write a self-criticism, which I heard was 8,000 words long."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Ye, who was engrossed in watching the live stream, couldn't help but burst out laughing.

...Bellavita is truly a place where extraordinary people emerge.

Miya sighed sincerely, then nodded solemnly.

"Don't worry, I'm quite clean myself."

Asase stretched a hand out from under the covers, smiling and giving an OK sign.

Miya took off her clothes and casually hung them on the headboard. She quickly climbed onto her bed and pulled out the login device for "Stars Falling into the Sea" from under her pillow.

She quickly fastened the equipment, lay down, and closed her eyes.

On the other bed, Xiaoye poked Asase's cheek and asked something in a low voice, his tone filled with barely concealed amusement.

Miya's consciousness had already sunk halfway, and she didn't hear the specific content.

"Should we continue pretending?"

Xiaoye leaned close to Asase's ear and whispered.

"Don't rush. Don't you think there's a big difference between her image on the live stream and her real life? I want to see more."

"Okay, but it is indeed very cute."

Asase quietly switched the live stream of Starfall into the Sea to Honey's main channel. Judging from Miya's ability to create drama, they estimated that in less than half an hour, they would be able to see the little witch wearing a fox mask and causing trouble on the screen again.
