The sensation, like a foot massage, made Valensa hum with pleasure.

"You're actually enjoying this, aren't you? I'm punishing you for this!"

Tia was even more furious, but her physical limits as a spellcaster were limited, and no matter how hard she stomped, it was more like a massage and a reward to Valensa, the female knight.

Finally, Tia couldn't stand it anymore, so she lifted her skirt and sat down, using her entire weight to slam into Valensa's waist.

"Hmm?~~"

But Valensa seems more comfortable...

"...You shameless...idiot, idiot, idiot!"

Tia was furious, so she jumped off Valensa, sat down far away from her, and stopped talking to her, resorting to passive-aggressive punishment.

"Waaaaah, Tia, I was wrong, please forgive me~~"

Valensa could only wriggle her body to Tia's feet again, begging for mercy.

"……snort."

Tia turned her face away from Valensa, but didn't move her body again.

"I think going to Pink Rose isn't what you're thinking..."

Seeing that Tia had finally given her a chance to explain, Valensa quickly confessed:

"I actually wanted to go there to improve my strength... Remember the special opportunity I had in Sergin Town that I told you about? It was actually a very peculiar alternate dimension. Only people with certain conditions could enter it in a specific way. There were entrances in many places, and Pink Rose was one of them."

In accordance with the principle of leniency for those who confess, Valensa told the whole truth this time.

But Tia clearly didn't believe it:

"hehe."

"It's true, Tia, you have to believe me!"

Valensa lifted herself slightly off the carpet, a wronged expression on her face:

"Do you think I'm the kind of shameless person who couldn't wait to go to a brothel on my first day off after returning to the capital?"

"...Aren't you one of them?"

Tia glanced sideways:

"Who was it that took their younger sister to a place like that when they were only ten years old? And if you really wanted to improve your strength, why didn't you tell me properly? Why did you have to sneak around like that?"

"Pink Roses is quite expensive, with your current financial situation... Heh, unless you're planning something shameless, why won't you let me pay for it? Hmm?"

"Uh... gulp~~"

Valensa was speechless.

“…Oh, Valensa, Valensa.”

Seeing this, Tia squatted down again and gently rubbed Valensa's cheeks:

"Actually, I'm still quite willing to believe, most things are... even if you say the sun might rise in the west, I'd believe you, except for one thing..."

That's right, I won't believe a single word you say about such shameless things!

There's an entrance to another dimension in Pink Rose? Ha! You really think I'd believe that kind of nonsense?

I know that there isn't much decent entertainment in a rural town like Sergintown, but you can't just go to a place like Pink Rose as soon as you get back to the capital, can you?

Do you really think that just because your aunt and uncle are gone, no one can take care of you anymore?

Hmph, give up on that idea! As your good friend, it's my responsibility and obligation to keep an eye on you and prevent you from going astray!

I knew all along that you were still hung up on Pink Rose, so I was prepared... Give up your shameless ideas, hmph!

"You...you were prepared a long time ago?"

Valensa's eyes widened as she recalled her ordeal at the entrance of the Pink Rose Garden.

"Could it be that Tia, you..."

"Yes, it's what you think."

Tia proudly puffed out her chest:

"I exchanged one of my wineries for a portion of the shares of Pink Rose, and now I am one of the owners of Pink Rose."

With my orders in place, even if you manage to sneak off to play without me knowing, no one there will dare to receive you, hmph.

"Ah this..."

Valensa was completely dumbfounded.

Tia actually became one of the owners of Pink Rose?

How can I enter the Dimensional Hardware Store from the capital city in the future?

"No, Tia, I really..."

Valensa tried to explain further.

Tia immediately covered her ears:

"I won't listen! I won't listen! I know you too well, you shameless idiot! You're just trying to make up all sorts of sweet talk to fool me into letting you go play at Pink Rose, right?"

"Hmph, that's absolutely impossible! I won't believe a single word you say about this. Give up, you idiot!"

"Goo~~"

Valensa collapsed to the ground in despair.

She never expected that her way from the capital to the Dimensional Hardware Store would be blocked by Tia.

Fortunately, there are many entrances to the Dimensional Hardware Store. Since the entrance to the royal capital has been sealed by Tia, Valensa has no choice but to give up and find another way.

Which of the small towns closest to the capital is the most easily accessible? What excuse should I use to visit it? Is it possible to make a round trip on a weekend?

Valensa quickly lay down on the soft blanket and began to think about these things.

Seeing that she had stopped talking, Tia sat back down in her chair and put her little feet up:

"Hmph, you should reflect on your actions for now! You shameless idiot..."

The carriage fell silent, with only the sound of the wooden wheels rolling over the ground.

About half an hour later, while Valensa was still thinking about what excuse to use to visit a nearby town on her next day off, the carriage stopped.

"Stop pretending! We're already at school, get up."

Tia kicked Valensa in annoyance.

"Oh oh oh..."

Valensa then freed herself from the ropes binding her, and together with Tia, they stepped off the carriage and entered the gates of the War Academy.

"Um... Tia, hehe, Tia~~"

Seeing that Tia was walking ahead and ignoring her, and that they were almost at the girls' dormitory for the command department, Valensa finally couldn't help but step forward and take Tia's arm:

"You're not angry anymore, are you? I already reflected on my actions in the car just now~~"

Chapter 33 A Version of Lord Ye's Love of Dragons

"Have you really reflected on your actions?"

Tia glared at her sideways, annoyed.

"You were lying there quietly without saying a word, but you were definitely thinking about all sorts of things, weren't you?"

"How could that be? Tia, look into my sincere eyes~~"

Valensa hugged Tia's arms tighter, her deep blue eyes seemingly full of sincerity.

Her crimson eyes met his gaze silently for a moment before she blinked slowly, revealing an expression of utter helplessness.

"Idiot~~"

Tia broke free from Valensa's embrace and rolled her eyes at her again:

"Don't forget to come find me after class tomorrow afternoon. I'll take you to visit Teacher Zi and ask about your bloodline with your aunt."

After saying that, he walked towards the dormitory door without looking back.

Valensa finally breathed a sigh of relief.

It's not hard to coax an angry Tia, but it's also hard to change a decision once she's made it. It seems we really have to give up on the entrance to the Dimensional Hardware Store near Pink Rose for the time being.

Fortunately, life at the academy is much more stable than being an adventurer, and Valensa's current strength is sufficient, so it shouldn't matter if she strengthens herself a couple of days later.

Tomorrow afternoon, I'll go visit that witch teacher with Tia. After that, I should hurry up and master the spiked sword as soon as possible.

. . . . .

The first day of classes after the rest day was the same as usual: theory in the morning and practical application in the afternoon.

The theoretical classes still focus on the history of the kingdom, while the practical classes still involve teachers randomly selecting lucky students for guidance and self-study.

Valensa, of course, spent another afternoon practicing her bayonet technique.

She had nearly riddled the steel plate with holes, and her wrists were aching from all the practice. Her black stockings were soaked with sweat.

She deliberately didn't shower or change her clothes, but instead went directly to Tia as agreed.

really.

"Hey~~"

Tia covered her nose in disgust as soon as she saw her:

"Look at the smell of sweat on you... Can't you take a shower and change your clothes before coming here?"

"Tia, you told me to come over as soon as get out of class was over~~"

Valensa feigned innocence:

"How could I dare disobey Lady Tia's orders?"

"Then I'll teach you to have some shame and some integrity, did you do that?"

Tia rolled her eyes in annoyance before grabbing Valensa's arm:

"follow me."

The two quickly entered the villa-like dormitory for female students majoring in conducting. It was shortly after class ended, and there was no one in the living room on the first floor.

Tia didn't linger in the living room either, quickly pulling Valensa upstairs and opening a wine-red wooden door:

"Go in quickly."

"Hehe, is this your dorm, Tia? It's so stylish of yours!"

The first thing you see are three large bookshelves filled with all kinds of books, followed by the dressing table that is essential in every girl's room, and a very large bed.

"Wow, Tia, your bed is so big!"

Valensa's eyes lit up, and she seemed eager to pounce on him and roll around on him.

"Such a big bed, you must be lonely sleeping alone at night, right? Do you want me to... oh dear."

"No way! You stinky, idiotic female knight!"

Tia grabbed Valensa by the ear and shoved her toward the bathroom:

"Go take a shower quickly, it's almost time for your appointment with Teacher Zi."

"I know~~"

While playfully drawing out her words, Valensa didn't delay her actions. She quickly entered the bathroom, took off her clothes, activated the water-attribute magic crystal on the showerhead, and began to wash her body.

Soon, the sweat and fatigue from an afternoon of training were washed away into the sewer, and Valensa, now dressed in a clean school uniform and black stockings, looked refreshed.

"That's more like it~~"

Tia had Valensa spin around in front of her a few times to make sure everything was alright before taking her hand and leading her outside.

"Hurry up, time is running out."

When I went out, I ran into several female students from the conducting department who had already returned. Apart from Jacqueline, they were all second- or third-year students.

Many people cast amused glances at Valensa and Tia, and one tall, voluptuous woman with short hair even blocked their way:
