Chloe's sleep state wasn't ideal.
After the incident in the props room that day, he didn't sleep well at night.
Sister Fufu's pure and seductive expression kept flashing through his mind.
Chloe couldn't help but take a deep breath.
An impulse to discuss marriage suddenly arose, but fortunately, his willpower was strong enough to suppress it.
As the saying goes, what you dwell upon eventually echoes back.
Today, the Fantasy Association was having a dinner, so he headed out early, planning to have some yogurt first.
And then, he encountered a girl looking around in the store.
"Sister Fufu."
He called out.
Originally, Fufu, who was glancing around, jolted and instinctively hid the item in her hand behind her back.
Chloe raised an eyebrow.
"I saw it."
"You didn't see it," Fufu pouted, embarrassed, and said, "Say it, you didn't see it."
She had just seen a big sister handing out raincoats at the door of the contraceptives section.
Curious, she took a glance, and the girl giving out the items mischievously said to her:
"If a boy doesn't want to wear a raincoat, remember to put it on him with your mouth, otherwise, you won't protect yourself well."
Her cheeks were lit with a rosy glow.
"I... I don't need such things."
...
"I don't have anything like that."
She put the small raincoat into her bag and reiterated.
Chloe swallowed hard and said:
"Mm, you're right."
"Are you going to Mayer Restaurant now?"
"Yes, want to go with me?"
"Hehe, if you're not afraid of being misunderstood..."
"I've been misunderstood plenty of times, and I'm fearless."
Then he mentally added another phrase:
"Whether it's still a misunderstanding after the Lantern Festival is hard to say."
"What's the Fantasy Association's dinner like? They don't perform a Fantasy Show on-site, do they?"
"Haha, how could they? It's actually just eating, drinking, and playing games together. What are you thinking about?"
"I'm afraid the members will unleash their true selves."
"Hard to say, at least quite a few of them probably want to see you unleash your true self."
Fufu turned back to look at him, playfully winked and said:
"I'm one of them too."
Good.
Still the Fufu he remembered, pure with a hint of naughtiness.
...
Location: Mayer Restaurant
The last time Chloe came here was for Fat Daniel's dinner party.
Even Fat Daniel himself only covered half the expenses.
But today's event...
Tonight, the dinner expenses at Mayer Restaurant were being covered by President Lilith!
Really wealthy.
But now, Chloe was surrounded.
"Hello everyone, I'm newbie Chloe, please take care of me."
"A male, wow!"
"He's got one."
"Is he a cute junior? I'm Link from the third-year Warrior Class."
"Third-year Black Wizard Class, Sorron."
"Second-year? A peer, well, I'm Arthas from the Holy Knight Class."
Chloe's mouth corners couldn't hold it.
The Fantasy Association was indeed quite fantastical.
Zelda, Lord of the Rings, and World of Warcraft characters were all mixed in.
A gaggle of upperclassmen and peers surrounded him tightly.
Chloe felt their excitement about seeing a guy surpassed even that of seeing a girl.
"You're the one Miseria mentioned!"
"That's impressive."
"Indeed, Miseria praised you too."
Chloe tilted his head thoughtfully.
The value of Lilith saying Miseria is cute keeps increasing.
Glasses girl + clingy type?
What classic trope?!
So he smiled and said:
"Haha, then thanks to Miseria for the compliment, cheers!"
"Cheers!"*N
Amidst the clinking glasses, Chloe spotted a familiar figure.
His sophomore squadmate, Warrior Rooney, sweating profusely, squeezed through the crowd to sit beside Chloe.
"It's been a while, hasn't it, Chloe?"
An older student jokingly scolded:
"Yo, Rooney, don't you go lift weights? How come you have time for dinner today?"
Rooney nodded and bowed, said:
"Senior, you're right, so here I am," he raised his glass, saying, "I'm in the same practical group as Chloe this year."
Chloe smiled with narrowed eyes, outsiders couldn't discern his emotions.
But the table next to him with the girls was different.
Lilith was playfully teasing a disgruntled Miseria.
"Miseria, give us a smile, accompany me to the banquet later."
"…Wasn't there one last week? You want me to help you fend off people again?"
"Isn't it different? I can't easily deal with that annoying guy."
"Is there anyone you can't handle?"
"I'm afraid I won't hold back." She drank her glass straight out and said, "You know, striking someone weaker is a disgrace."
She spoke with a sense of entitlement.
Miseria was speechless, said:
"That person is considered a promising youth everywhere, only you would give such an evaluation, I'm not much better than him either, okay."
"It's not the same, you are the one I chose, whoever moves you is an enemy of mine."
Lilith said this with a sense of entitlement.
But... Miseria didn't dislike it.
Lilith was naturally noble, with stunning looks and extraordinary talents, making her even more unique.
She was used to worship, but also used to protecting others.
Or rather, she refrained from trampling on the self-esteem of weaker individuals.
She even knew the president had a dedicated foundation to support the underprivileged.
Empathy with the weak wasn't much related, she just naturally believed they needed protection.
That's something Miseria could never learn in her lifetime.
It was also the first time she realized that a princess is born, not taught.
"So accompany me, you always say this, if I don't drag you along, you wouldn't go."
"Whether you drag me or not, it's the same."
"But if I handle it my way, you tend to get upset."
"I'm not upset."
"Last month, that student who tried to sneak into my dorm, I hung him on a streetlight to blow in the wind for a night, you said I should have handed him to the guards, your mouth was pouting quite high then."
Miseria said angrily:
"That's because I told you someone seemed to be eyeing you, and you ignored it, then when something happened, you pretended it was all fine!"
"Hey, hey!"
Bang!
Miseria landed a punch on Lilith's head.
Angry!
This president is too unruly, should I overthrow her!
She looked up and saw Chloe across the table watching them thoughtfully.
"Hmph~"
She turned her head, instinctively avoiding the boy's gaze.
...
Indeed, the clingy type.
Chloe withdrew his gaze, reconfirming this conclusion.
It seemed the president and vice president were just playfully teasing each other.
However, in terms of dominance, Lilith was clearly in the lead.
She knew her innate pride was like a mirror, reflecting the helplessness of opponents, even comrades.
So she opted to use other means to restrain her prowess.
Lilith was indeed a lazy person.
But it didn't mean she would naturally expose her weaknesses to Miseria.
This tactic was an act of dimensional reduction attack.
Purely intentionally teasing Sister Miseria.
Perhaps Chloe's gaze was too intense, Rephya, who was sitting close to him, explained:
"The president and they are used to it, don't mind them."
However...
