"How much longer till we arrive, Heather?"
"Almost there, Aria."
While responding, Heather couldn’t help but glance up at the rearview mirror, seeing Aria chatting enthusiastically with her friends. It reminded her of the way Aria looked when she first arrived at Linmen.
She was like a little piglet about to explode at any moment, warily watching everything within her sight, always ready for when her mom would come to take her back...
It was at that time that she herself had brought Aria to Yuanyue Academy.
"...Aria, what did An Le ask you to do at school this weekend?"
"Um, I can’t tell you, it’s a secret between me and my friends. Besides, I’ve already finished my weekend homework, and Yan Huan has taught me the mistakes, didn’t you already check them?"
"Yes, yes..."
Upon hearing these words, Heather sighed, but couldn’t help but lift the corners of her mouth slightly.
She said no more, simply looking towards Yuanyue Academy as it drew closer in the evening light.
...
...
"Buzz..."
At the school gate, Ye Shiyu appeared alone, her actions somewhat hesitant.
After all, her relationship with most of the other hosts, except Bai Yi, was not good; even meeting them would inexplicably lower the atmosphere.
Even though she had arrived, she wasn’t sure if the other hosts had.
She might have originally intended to send a message to inquire, at least to ask Bai Yi.
But after hesitating for a long time, she ultimately decided not to do so.
"Whew..."
She took a deep breath, planning to take a walk through the peaceful campus at dusk, while intending to send a message to Xiao Huan to ask where he was.
"Crash!"
Unexpectedly, a gentle breeze blew past at that moment, causing her index finger holding the phone to stiffen slightly, leading her to not hold the phone steadily, and it slipped from her fingertips.
"!!"
But Ye Shiyu reacted quickly, instinctively using her other hand to catch the phone.
"Thud..."
Yet she was still one step too late, letting the phone fall to the ground, the screen cracking with lines.
The screen also went out because of this.
"..."
Standing still, Ye Shiyu dazedly looked at the shattered phone on the ground.
At this moment, she did not feel panic or fear, but rather only peace.
Perhaps...
She could find Xiao Huan and the others without a phone.
Ye Shiyu suddenly thought like this.
...
...
"Click..."
Inside the school, Sakuragi Hitomi was standing alone in the student council office.
Many files had been moved out due to the student council elections, yet items like sofas and desks remained.
While inspecting the furnishings filled with memories, Sakuragi Hitomi couldn’t help but press her lips.
At that moment, she held a form for election participation in her hand.
She had looked at the form in her hand for a long time, knowing clearly what it meant to submit it.
To stand on stage, under the spotlight, in front of everyone, competing with other contenders...
In the past, she never actually had such experience.
Whether it was through spying, joining the student council through connections, or wearing a mask to pretend...
She had always been more accustomed to hiding, in the dark.
Like being in a barrier, behind cameras, or inside a wardrobe.
But...
"Nominate me as Vice President."
When the President’s voice sounded in her ear, Sakuragi Hitomi pressed her lips, finally ceasing to hesitate.
She gently reached out and dropped the file into the box on the desk.
...
...
"Tick... Tock..."
The clock on the wall moved slowly, giving out a mechanical sound of "Drip Drip" that inevitably made the stunning girl in the first-year hallway turn her head.
Afternoon, 4:44 PM...
"Hmm..."
Bai Yi looked at the time on the clock, her starry eyes slightly trembling.
And below the clock was a picture of the parents supporting and sponsoring the school’s students, many of whom were well-known figures in Linmen.
Of course, with Bai Yi’s knowledge, most of them she did not recognize.
What she truly focused on were those beautiful photographs where parents stood smiling, left and right, beside their children.
Unfortunately, from past to present, she had never had such a thing.
If...
"..."
As these two words popped into her mind while gazing at the photos on the wall, Bai Yi couldn’t help but hold back laughter.
She shook her head and, with hands behind her back, decided not to stay where the photos that didn’t belong to her were.
She only looked forward, and then continued forward.
...
...
"Glug glug..."
At the moment, inside the school courtyard.
An Le nervously watched Yan Huan, and the Meow and Little Thumb in front of him, couldn’t help but ask,
"Xiao Huan, is this really doable?"
"It should be fine..."
Yan Huan pondered, indicating towards Meow and Little Thumb, explaining the principle,
"Meow’s fusion is powerful enough to completely detach me from my original form to become a cat, thus temporarily fusing with Little Thumb can also change its modifier transformation properties.
"Therefore, when you forgo the modifier later, temporarily letting Meow merge with it will prevent it from disappearing with the modifier."
An Le nodded and eagerly looked to the side.
There, Meow was full of disdain, and Little Thumb was fawningly tapping Meow’s shoulder with its tail,
"Oh wow, Lord God, I didn’t expect you to be so strong, I’m truly impressed... This time we’re counting on you～"
"Meow..."
Meow sneered disdainfully.
Yet Little Thumb was unoffended, coquettishly staring at it with its tongue out, making Meow itch with anger.
Last night it even hijacked my TV! So shameless Meow!
"Alright, let’s begin— the time is about right."
Yet since Yan Huan urged, Meow couldn’t do anything about it, only channeling the mist to devour Little Thumb within.
"Gulp..."
In the instant of devouring fusion, Meow’s body started to turn pale, its eyes also changed into Little Thumb’s pink hue.
Immediately, it gauged An Le and nodded,
"No problem Meow, with the blessing of that Evil God... even if An Le gives up the modifier, it will still exist, just without its previous capability Meow."
"That’s okay..."
An Le showed a smile.
She did not ask for much to begin with, was easily satisfied.
"Step... Step... Step..."
And just a few seconds after finishing all this, outside the courtyard, different footsteps began to approach faintly.
Raising his gaze, Yan Huan then saw the figures of the hosts appearing from various directions of the school.
On the left was An Le who came with him, ahead to the left was Bai Yi approaching from the first-year hallway, directly in front was Sakuragi Hitomi emerging from the stairway, and to the front right was Ye Shiyu coming from the school gate along with...
"Yan Huan!"
"Aria..."
Yan Huan turned to the right, just beginning to smile, he saw Aria rushing over with Heather following behind her.
"..."
Heather gazed at the few girls in front, pushing her gold-rimmed glasses, she frowned upon seeing Yan Huan.
"She insisted on following... But don’t worry, I didn’t tell her the purpose of our visit..."
Having run up close to Yan Huan, Aria whispered this.
Yan Huan naturally knew Aria wouldn’t speak of the modifier, but...
Glimpsing Heather there, squinting her eyes while seemingly deep in thought, his heart couldn’t help but sink further.
"Whew..."
Yet despite that, he still stood up, revealing a helpless smile, looking towards Heather, he said,
"Lady Heather, could you give us some time alone?"
"..."
Giving Yan Huan a glance, Heather nodded, turned and left.
And watching her departing figure, Yan Huan took a deep breath, instinctively clenching his five fingers.
The Big Thumb rubbed against the palm beneath the index finger and the Middle Finger.
