"That... that."

Valensa didn't move, and she also stopped Tia, who wanted to go upstairs, and pointed outside:

"Tia, look how beautiful the moon is tonight. It's so boring staying cooped up in the room... How about we take a walk in the moonlight?"

"walk?"

Tia gave Valensa a strange look and said irritably:

"Please... I just teleported back from the Sage's Tower, I'm exhausted, okay? And now you want to drag me out for a walk? How come you're getting dumber and dumber!"

"Uh……"

Valensa gritted her teeth, her heart racing, and then flashed a charming smile:

"Since you're quite tired today, Tia, how about we go somewhere nicer to rest? Let's go to your house near the academy, and I'll cook you something delicious to treat you."

"That place probably won't work... I was originally planning to rest there anyway."

Tia shook her head again:

"As you know, I've been in seclusion all summer, so I gave Enori and the entire maid troupe a break early so they could go back to their hometowns to visit their families."

They've only just returned, and the house hasn't been cleaned yet...it won't be habitable until at least tomorrow night."

"Tsk."

The second option was also rejected, leaving Valensa frustrated.

But she wasn't one to give up so easily, and quickly put on a smug expression again:

"How about we go to my mansion then? To tell you the truth, I did something great this summer. His Majesty the King not only rewarded me with a mansion, but also bestowed upon me the title of Sunflower Duchess."

"Oh?"

This immediately piqued Tia's interest.

But Tia didn't care about the title or the mansion. Instead, she immediately moved closer to Valensa and examined her carefully, like inspecting a damaged work of art.

"To receive such a reward must have been very dangerous, right? Are you injured?"

"Well……"

Tia's concern warmed Valensa's heart, but the guilt of having just enjoyed a passionate encounter with Thousand Leaf Grass also intensified.

"Don't worry, I'm fine now."

Valensa first gently comforted Tia with a word, then said:

"But the process was indeed quite thrilling... Let's go see the mansion His Majesty bestowed upon me, and then listen to my story of this summer?"

"emmm..."

Tia was clearly tempted, but after a moment's hesitation, she asked another question:

Where is the residence that His Majesty the King bestowed upon you?

"It's a fantastic location, of course."

Valensa said smugly:

"It's in the city center, quite close to the church, which is very convenient."

"Let's forget about it then, it's too far."

Tia shook her head:

"No matter how much I say no, you're definitely going to torment me tonight... I have a lot of things to do tomorrow and need to get up early, so living so far away is too much trouble. I'll just stay in your dorm... Anyway, you can tell your stories anywhere, and I can visit your house in a few days."

"Ah this..."

Valensa was completely dumbfounded.

She held Tia's hand tightly, unable to think of any other reason.

"...What? You really don't want me to go to your dorm?"

Tia then looked at Valensa with a half-smile:

"For someone to be this scared... could it be that you're hiding another woman in your dorm?"

"Goo!"

Valensa's expression changed instantly, but she remained defiant:

"No way! I, Valensa, am devoted to you, Tia. How could I possibly take advantage of your seclusion to have an affair with another woman? Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

"Hmm... let me think."

Tia completely ignored Valensa's excuses and began to analyze the situation on her own:

"The War Academy is not a place that just anyone can get into, and the entrance exams have only just ended... You idiot, you do have a knack for flirting with girls, but you're not good enough to get a freshman into bed so quickly."

So the woman currently in your room is definitely someone you knew from last school year.

Melody? Probably not... Although she's close to you and often jokes around with you, she's not on our side. She still likes Gil and Harry, so it's impossible for her to actually mess around with you.

So that's Cao Cao... Knowing her personality, she must have spent the entire summer practicing hard, researching new moves to defeat you, and then couldn't wait to challenge you after school started, only to be defeated and severely punished by you. She's currently unable to get out of bed in your room, right?

"Goo!"

Valencia was utterly defeated.

But as a female knight, she should remain defiant even in defeat:

"No, I didn't, Tia, don't make wild assumptions!"

Chapter 27 Female Knight, Chastity and Restraint!

There's no point in being stubborn in front of Tia, who has already deduced the truth.

No matter how Valensa tried to argue, she couldn't change Tia's decision to go to her room first.

Valensa had no other choice but to secretly pray to the sun goddess, hoping that Her Majesty the goddess could help her get through this difficult night.

The prayers seemed to have worked.

Even Valensa herself was surprised when she opened the door to the room.

All traces in the room were cleaned up, and the torn silk netting, tabi bags, and underwear that had been scattered all over the floor by Chiba Grass had all disappeared.

The bed, which had originally consisted only of wooden planks and a mattress, was covered with sheets and blankets again, and even the scent of pleasure that had filled the air dissipated with the night breeze blowing in through the window.

...Could I have guessed wrong?

Tia was very surprised.

She was all prepared to teach Valencia a lesson, but she found none of the evidence she expected.

"hey-hey……"

Valensa immediately became smug:

"I told you, Tia, you were just imagining things! How could a chaste and virtuous knight like me possibly cheat on you with other women? Your suspicions hurt me so much, Tia... You have to comfort me and make it up to me tonight, okay?"

As she spoke, she hugged Tia and tried to pull her into the bathroom.

No matter how tired she is, as long as she hasn't collapsed, taking a bath before bed is a rule of life for aristocratic young ladies.

"and many more!"

This time, it was Tia's turn to be unwilling to accept defeat.

She was quite confident in her deduction, and Valencia's various reactions just now made her even more convinced that her deduction was definitely correct. Something must have gone wrong somewhere!

Tia scanned the room with her eyes, and the first thing she spotted was under the bed.

Without any hesitation, she reached out and flipped the bed frame off.

The roughly half-meter gap between the bed and the floor was enough to hide a person, but there was nothing there.

Tia didn't give up, her eyes continuing to search the room, and soon she locked onto the wardrobe.

Valensa's gaze flickered for half a second, which Tia precisely caught.

"Ha~~"

Tia regained her confidence, believing that everything in the room was a cover-up by Valensa, but the most important evidence could not be hidden—storage items could not hold living beings, and a living person as big as Thousand Leaf Grass must still be inside the room!

Wow.

Without saying a word, Tia walked over and opened the wardrobe door.

"This……"

"Oh..."

Both of them couldn't help but gasp in amazement; Tia was unwilling to accept it, while Valensa breathed a sigh of relief.

The closet was empty, except for a few school uniform jackets and skirts that Valensa often wore.

The thousand-leaf clover and the sheets and blankets that were wrapped around it were gone.

There were no strange scents or traces left behind, and Tia found no evidence.

"hateful!"

Unable to find any evidence, Tia still didn't believe her speculations were wrong, so she could only grab Valensa's ear and pout:

"Confess now! What tricks have you played this time? Where's the evidence?"

"Evidence? What evidence?"

Valensa looked completely innocent, yet she also became quite self-righteous:

"Everyone says Tia, you've misunderstood me... I'm a chaste and virtuous female knight!"

"you……!"

Tia was so angry she wanted to bite someone.

Valensa herself was also very surprised, as she had been prepared to be severely punished and lectured.

Could it be that the goddess has truly favored me once again?

No, it shouldn't be... Given Her Majesty the Goddess's personality, she should prefer to see herself being severely punished and bullied by Tia.

That is……

Valensa's heart skipped a beat. She stepped forward and hugged Tia in her arms while secretly activating her sonic positioning.

Sure enough, not far from the two of them, there was a petite figure standing there, constantly gesturing to Valensa to curry favor.

Well done, scribbling.

Valensa didn't hold back her praise and thanks, giving the invisible female ninja a thumbs up.

Thousand-leaf Grass became even more smug. The sound wave positioning couldn't detect her specific expression, but Valensa could clearly see her shaking her head.

"Hmph, I'll make you confess all your little tricks!"

Tia was very unwilling, but a loss is a loss. She could only give up on continuing to look for evidence and was carried into the bathroom by Valensa.

As Valensa closed the bathroom door, she gestured to Thousand Leaf Grass to leave quickly, as she was about to spend the night with Tia.

However, Chiba showed no intention of leaving. Instead, she sat down on a chair by the window, looking like she was ready to watch a good show tonight.

Valensa was furious and wanted to teach Thousand Leaf Grass another lesson, but she was afraid that Tia would find out.

After weighing the pros and cons, Valensa decided to ignore Thousand Leaf Grass... If the little devil likes to watch, let her watch to her heart's content, and she can find a way to punish her severely later.

Valensa was quite well-behaved in the bathroom, not making any big moves. She just helped Tia wash her body to relax her muscles, and most importantly, she helped Tia wash her hair.

After showering, the two changed into matching nightgowns and black and white stockings, then sat back-to-back on the bed, holding hands and chatting.

Although it was supposed to be a casual chat, Valensa was actually talking about her summer vacation experiences most of the time.

After all, Tia spent the summer in seclusion, while Valensa had a much richer experience.

Putting aside the things that can't be said, whether it's investigating and resolving the monster anomalies in the Misty Mountains or thwarting the conspiracy of the Abyss Spirit Society and the Sinful Angels, it's enough for most people to boast about for a lifetime.

With three years of experience as an adventurer boasting in taverns, Valensa is a great storyteller, and she tells every detail vividly.

When Tia heard that Valensa was facing a Moon-level Black Dragon and a Star-level Cultist, she became very nervous and held Valensa's hand tightly.

Even though she knew that Valencia was sure everything was alright since she was still telling her stories, Tia was still very worried about the desperate situation where the enemy and herself were so far apart in strength.
