"Senior, Fratiss and I are heading out first."

After dinner.

Rephya held Fratiss's hand and waved goodbye to the two people.

"Rephya, don't forget to see Master Heisha tomorrow, the latest body refining plan is out."

Chloe added a word.

Then he saw Xiaolu's initially cheerful expression visibly deflate.

He showed a smug smile.

Who said natural airheads can't outsmart the crafty?

He himself had never been suppressed by Xiaolu.

Fratiss waved her little hand obediently and said:

"Then seniors, be safe on your way back."

"Okay, little foodie, be careful on the road."

"Bye-bye, Fratiss."

After seeing the two off, Chloe turned to Miseria and said:

"Senior, are you heading back to school?"

"No, I need to go home for a bit."

"Hmm?" Chloe was a bit surprised, "I remember your family doesn't live in the Outer City of the Ether Emblem."

"Oh, that's right, but the family mentioned something about investment value in school district houses, so they bought me one in the Outer City of the Ether Emblem."

"..."

What a niche statement!

Chloe almost thought Miseria was being all Versailles.

"Then, senior, let's say goodbye here. I need to take care of some association work in the city."

"Oh, oh."

Miseria's actions and expressions were a bit at a loss.

Chloe's body was also taut.

An unspeakable awkwardness spread around.

Moments later.

Chloe stiffly turned his head, trying to start a conversation:

"Senior, are you also waiting for the bus?"

Miseria instinctively clutched her bag, lowering her head:

"Ah, yes, I'm taking the No. 12 bus."

"..."

...Ten minutes later...

On the No. 12 bus.

Chloe held onto the handrail, his scalp tingling, and said:

"What a coincidence, I didn't expect the senior to be on the same bus."

Miseria's mind went blank, and she mechanically said:

"Haha, yeah, didn't expect to be on the same bus as you."

Chloe let out a long sigh, suppressing the awkwardness in his heart, and said:

"Seems like you don't often go home, I've been taking this bus quite frequently lately."

Miseria coughed and said:

"Strictly speaking, it's not my home, it's just my house."

The scene fell silent.

The two awkward chatters felt the ground beneath them growing unbearably hot, wishing they could jump up and escape.

Fortunately, the bus finally arrived at the stop.

Chloe, in a running-away manner, wanted to get off the bus directly.

Just before getting off, he turned around.

With a thud.

Miseria fell into his arms.

Chloe: ...

Miseria: ...

Chloe gave a gentlemanly indication that he wasn't hugging her, just stabilizing Miseria before getting off the bus.

However, Miseria followed him off the bus like a chick following its mother hen.

"Wh-what's going on?"

"I-I'm going home."

"Senior, this is the commercial street."

"Who said there can't be residential houses on a commercial street."

"..."

"Wait, are you saying..."

"The first shop of the Extreme Association is right here."

"..."

The scene turned unusually quiet.

Miseria laughed awkwardly and said:

"Don't worry, my house is still a bit of a distance away, no way it's so coincidental."

"Is, is that so, my newly acquired shop is also a bit further, just on the way."

...Ten minutes later...

Miseria looked at the newly unveiled [Extreme Experience Hall] next to her house with a tingling scalp, turned stiffly to Chloe:

"Junior, I can explain."

Chloe raised his head, looking at the residential building behind the shop, and said in a low voice:

"Senior, you never told me you own a whole building here."

Miseria felt her toes curl from embarrassment, almost drilling out a three-room, one-hall scenario.

She couldn't lift her head, softly saying:

"To be precise, the shop you acquired is also mine."

But quickly, she realized her description was off and frantically added:

"But these things are usually handled by the family's representatives, I don't manage them."

"I can see that. If you regularly came here, you'd know the downstairs shop changed to the Extreme Experience Hall."

Only at times like this did Chloe remember that Miseria came from a noble family too.

Can't help it.

The image of the vice president he had in his mind was like those top students he often saw in his past life.

The traits of a book-smart girl completely overshadowed her lady of noble birth status.

Or rather, Miseria herself didn't care much about these things.

She usually spent a large amount of her time with the Fantasy Association.

It seems that, for her, properties on the commercial street are just houses.

——Or rather, the book-smart vice president seems very afraid of loneliness.

No wonder when reviewing the script, she deeply empathized with Princess Diana, almost ready to cry.

"So, so the technology of the Extreme Association is basically perfected?"

"Yeah, the first generation Simulated Earth Divine Rune engraver has already been made."

"So fast, it looks like you'll be making big bucks soon."

Because of a lazy president, the Fantasy Association has a great relationship with the Extreme Association.

Chloe coughed.

Given the current state of industrial development in the Extreme Association, achieving the idea of making big money might still take a year or two.

That's all.

For Chloe, making big money means at least the price of selling a Demigod Class Extraordinary Trait once.

He has sold two himself.

So he said:

"These are all small change, mainly for asset allocation."

"It's not that small." Miseria shook her head.

Although she's from an old aristocratic family, she's not completely detached from reality.

The shop that Chloe rented is located on the main street for Ethereal Emblem transactions.

Her family bought it hoping to provide her with a comfortable stay at school, giving her an extra place to settle.

Furthermore, from a long-term perspective, it's indeed a good place for ongoing profitable business.

The first step for the Extreme Association renting a shop here truly astonished her.

But soon, she was enlightened.

For students, securing a shop here is quite challenging.

Nevertheless, standing before her now is a Sequence Six.

And also, a Sequence Six who has slain Disaster Beasts of Sequence Five.

No doubt, with this kind of strength, regardless of age, any country would want to win him over.

Even in the Ethereal Emblem, there's willingness...

Huh?

Miseria paused for a moment and said:

"Junior, wouldn't the school invite you to be a guest mentor?"

Chloe paused for a moment and then said:

"The principal did mention it..."

Miseria sincerely said:

"Well, congratulations then..."

"Don't rush to congratulate me yet." Chloe interrupted her and said, "I refused."

"Huh?"

"Being a mentor has its constraints; it's better to be a student."

Of course.

Actually, that's not the main point.

The key point is that the future world's situation will undergo significant changes.

Led by Rephya, the Heroic Squad and various orderly forces will be swept into the tide of the era.

He simply doesn't have the energy to worry about school matters.

However, regarding Rephya...

Thinking about Xiaolu's recent antics, Chloe felt a bit of a headache.

But his contemplative expression led Miseria, who was sneakily observing him, to some misunderstandings.

"Uh, junior, sorry about the accidental kiss..."

Miseria, mistakenly thinking Chloe was pondering the awkward Fantasy Show incident, dared not look at him now.

"Oh, you mean that." Chloe chuckled and said, "Speaking of it, senior, you were quite bold."

"Sor-sorry, I originally just planned to lightly kiss your forehead, but..."

Seeing Miseria so ashamed she wanted to dig into a hole, Chloe helplessly laughed and said:

"Actually, there's no need to apologize."

"Bu-but you seemed not very happy at that time." Miseria stuttered, "I really didn't mean it; it was just a minor error in the plan that had to be accepted."

Seeing her getting tongue-tied, Chloe lowered his head and leaned closer.

"Senior..."

Miseria reflexively raised her head and saw the boy's deep eyes.

Chloe smirked mischievously and said:

"For a guy, being kissed by a pretty senior with whom he has a good relationship is actually quite satisfying."

"Huh?"

"Miseria, you're an earnest and charming woman, aren't you? In some sense, I'm quite grateful it was you."

Miseria blinked cluelessly, clutched her purse nervously.

Seeing her like this, Chloe scratched his head and said:

"Besides honestly speaking, senior, you... probably haven't been in a relationship, right?"

"Huh?"

"It's obvious, too inexperienced."

"Get lost!"

"Haha, that's why I said I actually benefited."

Seeing him laughing casually and even teasing her, Miseria, in anger, punched him.

Chloe wasn't annoyed.

He just let Miseria hit him.

As she hit him, Miseria started to laugh.

"Alright, I suppose you did benefit, but still, thank you for helping me."

Chloe chuckled and said:

"No, the person who can help you is yourself. If you didn't wish to change, our help would be meaningless."

"Junior, has anyone ever told you you're quite a smooth talker."

"Haha, do you really call this smooth talking?"

"Isn't it? What then counts as smooth talking?"

Chloe thought for a moment, then leaned forward and said:

"Senior, that was actually my first kiss, you know."

"..."

Miseria, who had finally calmed her mood, immediately blushed.

"First-first kiss?"

But before her heart beat wildly, Chloe pointed at his mischievous cheek and said:

"Yes, every day is the first kiss."

"Ah! Junior, you're too much!"

Miseria, feeling mocked, became both embarrassed and angry.

"But..." Chloe softly said, "The kiss with you felt like the thrill of the first time."

Bang, bang, bang~

All Miseria could feel was her heart racing instantly.

Then she saw Chloe with another mischievous grin saying:

"Hehe, isn't it nice to have a 'smooth-talking' junior like Chloe?"

"Get lost!"

Miseria shouted in frustration.

But deep down, a voice whispered to her:

[Indeed, it's wonderful!]
