Chapter 40: Chapter 38: I’m Waiting for You
The originally plain-clothed Fratiss, who was stuffing food into her mouth, suddenly raised her head.
The call of food made her focus intensely, with her thoughts quick as lightning.
Without hesitation, she picked up a nearby stone block, accelerated, and crashed into Sequence Seven, causing it to stagger.
Chloe arrived on the scene in just a breath.
Noticing the kidnapping attempt was thwarted, the man in the black robe showed a fierce expression, decisively picked up the long knife in his hand, and swung down at Chloe.
Chloe took out a large hammer from his space backpack and directly blocked the long knife.
His feet rooted firmly to the ground, his waist and legs acted as one.
With a soft shout, he actually knocked the long knife of Sequence Seven aside.
Giant Strength continued to output.
The man in the black robe never expected that an ordinary student would have such strength to rival him, a demon of Sequence Seven.
The next moment, the hammer, wrapped in a sound of wind, directly slammed into him.
The merciless iron hammer shattered his upper garment into fragments.
A mouthful of fresh blood was spat out.
The fierceness in his eyes increased a bit more.
Just as he was about to lift his hand, he discovered that the boy’s foot was stomping on his knife, no matter how hard he tried, he could not pull it out.
"Eat your worker grandpa’s hammer!"
Chloe’s skin glowed with a rose-red hue due to his explosive exertion.
His whole body was enveloped in heat, as if he was clad in blood-stained armor.
In the second simulation, although many memories were blurred due to excessive infusion, some things still remained.
Such as some body techniques taught by Master Heisha.
Rephya and Aisha couldn’t understand what happened.
They only knew they were attacked.
After frantically finding defensive weapons, they raised their heads and saw the hammer crushing the man in the black robe into the air.
The splattered blood stained Chloe’s boots, the hazy moonlight shone on his expressionless face.
Extraordinary Power transformed into a Curse Seal on him, the delicate muscles faintly visible with the rise and fall of his breath, with his bones emitting waves of sound.
Rephya’s mouth opened slightly.
The boy stepped on the corpse, the blood-dropped face lost its past gentleness, adding a trace of fierceness.
Yet that face, bathed in the soft glow of the Magic Lamp, was serene like a child strolling by a lake.
Looking up, he met her gaze.
Chloe laughed boldly:
"We meet again, Rephya, and Aisha the junior."
Aisha instinctively hid behind Rephya.
For some reason, she didn’t dare to look at this senior.
Master Nini leisurely flew over.
Chloe hadn’t hidden his strength from her, she naturally knew that man couldn’t harm her beloved student.
Seeing him neatly solve the opponent on-site, she kindly flew over to help him wipe his cheek, saying:
"I received news here, this is the last runaway member of the Crimson Church, you did a great job, Xiaoke!"
"Oh."
He appeared too calm, as if he was saying, "Have you eaten? I had green onion pancakes today."
Aisha, coming to her senses, pulled the bewildered Rephya to express gratitude:
"Tha-thank you, senior."
"Haha, Xiaoke is really amazing." The Treasure Elf, hearing someone praise her student, was happier than if they praised herself, "This time the Crimson Church suffered a significant loss, as soon as Xiaoke spotted them, he came to me for help."
She tilted her head with a smile rippling out.
Gaining the trust of students meant she was indeed a good mentor.
"Crimson Church?"
Upon hearing the familiar term, Aisha raised her head sharply and said with hate:
"This person is a follower of the Crimson Church?"
"Yes, so I just used a bit more force, with Evil God’s Followers, there’s no need to talk about justice."
He blinked.
Aisha understood.
Her brother had encountered the demon wave caused by this organization in Red Moon Forest years ago.
Was the senior avenging her?
No, no, no.
Impossible, she wasn’t close with the senior.
Maybe it was last time’s incident with her brother, she made the senior feel a bit guilty?
She felt uncertain, then heard Chloe say:
"After all, you’re Rephya’s roommate."
On the side, Rephya was poking at the black robe man’s corpse and tilted her head:
"Eh? Me?"
"Xiaolu, your Senior Sister Fufu specifically asked me to take extra care of you."
"Oh oh~"
Rephya was lost in thought.
So it’s because of Senior Sister Fufu, loving by extension?
Aisha too, fell into thought.
So it’s because of silly Xiaolu, the senior helped her?
Both girls were somewhat puffed up.
Damn.
What is this sudden sense of defeat?
Their emotional ups and downs he paid no mind to.
By this time, Fratiss had already arrived at the octopus Little Marbles stall.
"Huff huff huff, how much are your Little Marbles per serving, shopkeeper?"
"There are £1.99, £2.99, £3.99 servings."
"Huff huff huff, what’s in the £3.99?"
"An entire small octopus, student, you’re speaking with a bit of wind."
"Huff huff huff, no, boss."
"Then what’s with the huff huff huff? Huff for nothing?"
"Huff huff huff, it means I’m very happy!"
"...You seem a bit not smart."
Chloe walked over, placing a bag of gold coins on the counter:
"Huff huff huff, give her 50 portions first, if it tastes good, I’ll book your stall for the day."
The small stall owner slowly drew out a question mark.
Then his eyes seemed to be glued to the money bag.
"Huff huff huff, thank you, boss!"
"Huff huff huff, you can sit in my reclining chair, I’ll call you when it’s ready."
"Huff huff huff, this statement is so cute."
Chloe smiled as he pressed the Gourmet Knight into the reclining chair.
As long as there was enough food, he felt the little glutton was far more effective than a 90% interception success rate Iron Wall.
She really could stop!
"By the way, add extra bonito flakes, extra sauce, extra cheese, less salad, is that okay?"
The shopkeeper laughed and made an OK gesture.
The patron wants whatever posture he provides.
Anyway, he’s very happy.
The little glutton was also very happy.
But she was a bit curious how the senior knew her taste preferences?
A coincidence?
Forget it.
As long as there’s food, everything’s great.
Her calf swung lightly: "Huff huff huff, boss, I still like your initial defiant appearance!"
"Customer, I’ll say whatever I want, huff huff huff!"
The mentor went off to eat and drink with the little glutton and the others.
Chloe glanced at the time, it was nearly the time he and the senior sister agreed upon.
So, he said a few words to the others and turned to leave.
Only Rephya’s cute little nose twitched.
She knew the senior must be going to see Senior Sister Fufu.
Hoped the senior sister was okay.
...
Meanwhile.
On the other side of Lantern Festival celebration square.
"Chloe..."
When he arrived, his senior sister was pushing a light blue bike, waving to him:
"I’ve been waiting for you."
The soft glow of the Magic Lantern shone on her slightly sweaty face, staining her lips red, under her dense eyelashes, her eyes were clear and bright, reflecting his image.
Chloe stepped forward, quietly holding her hand:
"Let’s go, senior sister, to watch the lanterns together!"
"Mm!"
