Miseria felt like she was going crazy.

A certain junior was obediently using Flesh and Blood Magic to play with the Bone Shrinking Skill.

But now the problem lay with herself.

Because...

Was the junior this cute when he was young?

That obedient and handsome look melted Miseria's heart.

Giggle.

She pulled the little hand of the junior.

Oh my, this kid's little hand is so soft.

Hugging the cute junior again.

Aww, he's really so adorable.

Miseria unwittingly fell into a state of "pet obsession," just like Nini in the early days.

Chloe looked at her helplessly and said:

"Sis, can you be a little serious?"

"Hehe!"

"Hehe, my foot."

"Can't help it, the junior was just so cute when he was little!"

Chloe pinched the bridge of his nose.

He never expected Miseria to be so interested in his younger self, if she liked kids so much, he might as well have one later.

"Sis, if you continue like this, and can't get into character, I will take action in my adult form."

Just kidding, maintaining the Flesh and Blood Magic is quite tiring, okay!

"Sorry, I'll try my best."

The bespectacled girl, knowing she'd messed things up, tried her best to perform well.

But the stiffness between their movements was comparable to an eagle catching a chick.

One was flapping, the other was flapping too.

"Sis, where are you putting your hand?"

"Junior, can't you show a bit of reluctance, like when you perform with Rephya?"

"But you're always smiling, I can't be serious."

"But you're a kid, holding me lightly, people might think I'm a glass cup."

"To me, you're like a glass cup, afraid I'll break you."

"Tch."

Down below, Xiaolu and the snack lover clicked their tongues in amazement as they watched the performance on stage.

Chloe, embarrassed and angry, prepared to release the Flesh and Blood Magic and return to his adult form.

Miseria clung to him, not letting him release the magic.

Just kidding.

She could still laugh now because the junior maintained the childlike form, looking cute and fun.

If he really returned to his adult form for practice, she would probably die on the spot.

That's how it is for girls who've never dated.

They talk tough, but face to face with a handsome guy, even missing a couple of buttons can make their hearts race and cheeks flush.

Even Miseria knew she couldn't resist the junior's charm.

No choice.

Setting aside some personal preferences, her junior's allure was exceptionally high.

Even she would feel breathless.

Guess why she wanted Chloe to turn into a child's form.

Wasn't it to prevent herself from making mistakes?

"Junior, give me one more chance, this time there will definitely be no problem."

"Really?"

"Maybe?! I-I'll try my best."

At this point, Chloe couldn't just leave it alone.

Seeing Chloe agree, Miseria's wandering gaze finally calmed down.

Damn it.

Why was she so flustered?

There's absolutely no reason to be shy.

When Xiaolu and Chloe were filming, nothing happened, right?

They held hands too.

So I just need to look natural.

After all... they also have their own things, it was only because of me that they took the time to help.

We can't keep delaying.

Anyway, it's just tightly holding a child's hand, then giving him a mother's hug, right?

Be reassured.

This is just acting.

Nothing will happen.

With these thoughts, Miseria's fighting spirit ignited.

Fantasy Power spread.

Her face turned pale, lying on the bed like a withered flower.

Chloe took a deep breath and approached her.

Miseria weakly waved her hand, signaling him to come closer.

She suppressed the chaotic thoughts in her heart, just quietly watching Chloe.

Clever Miseria thought of a method.

Since seeing the young junior made her want to pet him.

And seeing the older junior made her too shy to look directly.

So she simply changed her approach.

For example, looking at the young junior, thinking about the older junior.

Surprisingly, after this operation, she could finally look Chloe in the eye.

Ah.

His eyes are so clear.

It's just like a clear lake, reflecting the images of others.

When he looked at her, his expression gradually became forlorn and sad.

But soon, his voice lowered again, and his face gradually became complex.

Spiritual Energy that constantly disturbed, silently invaded Miseria's body and mind.

Gradually, she finally brewed emotions.

There was a trace of sadness in her eyes, and she held Chloe's hand tightly, saying:

"Child, the road ahead is for you to walk alone."

Chloe's youthful voice shouted resolute words:

"Mother, I will grow stronger, strong enough to... change everything."

Miseria didn't say much.

She just slowly tidied up his slightly messy hair, struggling with her sickly body, gently pulling him into her arms.

She tried hard to think of Chloe's adult form, no way, still too shy, maybe she'd better close her eyes.

Miseria gently cupped his cheeks, wanting to leave a kiss on his forehead.

"Huh?"

Her eyes looked a bit bewildered.

[Where did I kiss?]

Her face almost flushed red-hot.

[Where did I touch?]

[I clearly intended to...]

[Did I not handle it well?]

[Damn, what's going on?]

[That was my first kiss!]

[No way, if I end it now, all the emotions I've built up will be wasted.]

[I'm afraid...we can't redo it either.]

[So embarrassing, seriously!]

[Can't help it, let's just roll with it and adjust the filming angle later.]

Miseria bit her lip, opened her eyes, and looked at Chloe with some astonishment. Then she leaned up and left a kiss on his forehead.

She spoke the final words in a low voice:

"I couldn't give you a happy childhood, I'm so sorry..."

"No, it's not..."

Little Chloe held her hand but realized she said nothing more.

Fantasy Power enveloped Miseria's figure.

The surrounding scenes began to jump rapidly.

In front of the grave.

Inside the palace.

On the prairie.

Deep within the cavern.

As the scenes changed, Chloe's clothing also transformed constantly.

His appearance and physique gradually shifted towards adulthood as well.

Finally, the scene froze with Chloe sitting by the window, quietly watching the view of Tino City below.

"Cut!"

At this moment.

The light of the Fantasy Ball flickered.

It froze this moment on the screen.

The Fantasy Show content it can accommodate has reached its limit.

"Oh!" Fratiss cheered, "Senior, you're amazing!"

The two, having finally completed filming, had somewhat peculiar expressions.

Rephya glanced left and right, sharply noticing their blushing cheeks.

"Senior, did something happen just now?"

Miseria awkwardly covered her face, glanced at Chloe, and whispered:

"Uh~ sorry, junior, I didn't... get the orientation right when I closed my eyes..."

"..."

"What I mean is, it would've been a shame to interrupt the progress back then, so I just went with it..."

"No worries, it's not a big issue. Your acting was great, senior."

Unlike Miseria, who closed her eyes.

Chloe's eyes were always open, so he "unfortunately" witnessed the whole process.

Miseria now wished she could just escape the Ethereal Emblem at light-speed.

Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god.

Does the junior think I did it on purpose to take advantage of him?

No way, I really want to dig a hole and hide in it.

His expression is so peculiar.

Ugh, sorry, my first kiss embarrassed you, junior.

This is such a terrible day.

But...

So that's what kissing a boy feels like?

The thought shocked her.

In a hurry, she suppressed the impure thoughts deep within her mind, raised her head, and said:

"To celebrate the completion of the Fantasy Show recording, let's go eat!"

"Yay!"

"Let's eat something delicious!"

The three girls cheered.

Only Chloe's eyes flickered uncertainly.

He instinctively touched his chest, and at that moment, he suddenly felt a bit sad.

A sadness that came out of nowhere made him feel listless now.

Until he thought of the almost freely given kiss from Miseria, he chuckled:

"Senior, your acting was really good."

"Get lost!"

Miseria shouted in anger.

During dinner, Chloe finally began to reveal his sharpness.

First, a round of praise and slight teasing.

"What do you think, Rephya, Fratiss, your senior's acting was great, wasn't it?"

"Oh!" Rephya, completely unaware of any issues, clasped her hands together in amazement, "Every action was filled with emotion."

Fratiss nodded in agreement:

"I've never seen a Fantasy Show with such high completion quality before."

Chloe was surprised:

"Not even at Lilith's place?"

Both shook their heads, Fratiss softly said:

"Senior Lilith doesn't participate in acting directly, and she always uses the Fantasy Night right from the start. Her Fantasy Scroll stores the [Sunset Calamity], which is said to be very powerful.

But no one has ever seen her use it; at most, she occasionally summons its shadow."

Rephya nodded, saying without malice:

"And I didn't expect senior would truly kiss..."

"Ah!" Miseria said in a panic, "How could there just be random kissing..."

Xiaolu tilted her head in confusion and said:

"Wasn't it a kiss on the young senior's forehead?"

Miseria coughed, this is what they meant.

She quietly tucked her hair behind her ear and, holding back her blush, said:

"It's actually okay, after all, the little junior is quite cute too."

For some reason, Chloe, who felt subtly insulted, narrowed his eyes and said quietly:

"Not quite as much as senior, I originally wanted to take it easy, but I didn't expect senior would be so serious."

Translation: Even a kiss was given, nothing could be more authentic.

Miseria understood, shamefully lowered her head.

Fratiss clapped in a daze:

"Truly impressive, senior. Are seasoned Fantasists this talented?"

The glasses-wearing girl's head dropped even lower.

Rephya also firmly nodded and said:

"Once the Fantasy Ball is edited and sent to theaters across the land, lots of people will definitely see your fabulous performance, senior."

Thinking about that shameful scene being seen by many people, Miseria wished she could just jump into a river.

Seeing Miseria already near sinking, Chloe suddenly said:

"That's right, ordinary folks don't know how much effort is needed to learn even a fraction of Miseria's skills. Of course, I think Rephya, your potential might be even higher."

Translation: At least when it comes to kissing, Xiaolu you've experienced that in simulations, and even more deeply, indeed your potential is greater.

Unfortunately, Xiaolu completely misunderstood Chloe's words, instead shyly saying:

"Senior, if you compliment me like that, I won't be happy. I think Fratiss has more potential."

Chloe: ...

Xiaolu, misunderstanding the content he expressed, made a striking statement.
