Chapter 438

Chapter 438: Not Much School Life Left

During dinner, after a brief inquiry and permission, Lolan Hill carried Keti down from the stone bed and woke her up.

“Is it Lolan? Ugh, I’m so sleepy.” Keti lowered her head, hugging Lolan Hill, her warm flame hair brushing against her before she started to drift off again.

“Eat something first before you sleep,” Lolan Hill shook the witch.

“Mm-hm.”

The few of them chatted about some amusing events as they ate at the stone table.

“In fact, Siye is quite afraid of spicy food; she prefers sweets more.” Chris spoke of trivial matters in life, then placed a large piece of cooked meat onto Siye’s plate. The latter held a small fork and looked at the mountain of meat towering over her head with worry.

“As for Keti, the first generation could eat spicy food, but I don’t know about the following generations. What kind of flavors does Lolan like?”

“My preference is for slightly spicy food with a hint of numbing sensation, and I also enjoy sweet and sour fruits,” the young lady said, looking at the air beside her as she recalled.

“I didn’t realize it. I thought Lolan was a sweet-toothed beauty,” Chris remarked.

“Sweets aren’t bad either, just not my top priority.”

After dinner, Lolan Hill carried Keti back and placed her on the warm stone bed, then returned. Only then did she explain her plans for the coming year, which was to leave Emanas and go to Clancia.

“Just do it if you want to. If you encounter difficulties, run away~☆” Chris told Lolan Hill.

“In fact, you are still in your nascent stage, and getting involved in conflicts between nations is too early,” Siye added, shaking her head beside her.

“Although we are witches, we haven’t fully matured yet. Getting involved could pose certain dangers. Even Tides can’t always protect you at will,” she explained some rules regarding witches and other Sequence 9 characters.

“We witches live long lives, and it’s easy to become friends among ourselves, but once caught up in national conflicts, one person could easily drag many others in, escalating the conflict until it splits everyone apart.”

“To prevent such a situation, if you openly side with Clancia, Tides won’t be able to help you if you clash with other countries in the future. Perhaps there are other witches in hiding in other nations, who are also friends with Tides.”

Friend, such words can easily trigger a series of reactions.”

“So unless you encounter a situation where death is certain, Tides will save you, but not help you defeat your enemies.”

“I understand this.” Lolan Hill nodded. Even if she wanted to join the battle now, her strength was probably only around Sequence 7, not decisive enough. She mostly wanted to use her experience and knowledge to provide assistance to Clancia.

“That’s good to hear.” Night Mistress sighed with relief. She quite liked this junior, Lolan Hill, and didn’t want her to perish too soon.

“As for matters within the school, I actually suggest borrowing Chris’s magic mirror during the exams. This way, you can graduate at roughly the same time as your peers. Some people and events, you don’t realize their importance at the time, but you’ll regret missing them later.” Night Mistress continued. Although she hadn’t attended classes for many years, she still had many insights.

Seeing that Night Mistress suggested this, Lolan Hill did not refuse, nodding in agreement. Seeing that it was already late, she prepared to take her leave.

“Hold on, may I ask where that doll came from?” Night Mistress finally asked. It seemed she really liked this younger doll, could this be considered attraction between kindred spirits?

“This doll is something I made myself, and my friend is inside the doll.” Lolan Hill recounted the past of Yixuegelin.

“I see.” Chris nodded thoughtfully, then looked at Keti’s sleeping place.

“Lolan is truly amazing.” She said, suddenly remembering something.

“I should take a picture as a memento.”

Chris stood up, making Lolan Hill sit in a chair, then pulled Night Mistress over, making her sit on Lolan Hill’s lap, and finally placed the doll in Lolan Hill’s hands onto Night Mistress’s lap.

From the largest to the smallest, their clothing styles were extremely similar, like nesting dolls.

“Please don’t move.”

She walked forward, clasped her hands together, and a floor-length mirror unfolded in front of her. A faint light flashed, and the three figures were imprinted on the mirror surface. Night Mistress seemed to be struggling, Lolan Hill was slightly surprised, while the doll remained motionless.

“Done, this might become a masterpiece, hahaha.” Chris seemed to have stumbled upon some dark history again. Night Mistress returned the doll to Lolan Hill, jumped off her lap, trying to snatch the mirror away.

Unfortunately, Chris was well-prepared, and the silver magic mirror instantly disappeared.

She caught Night Mistress who had pounced at her.

“Alright, that’s enough for today, little Lolan. Remember to come back and visit often,” Chris waved at Lolan Hill.

Looking at the two witches playfully bickering before her, Lolan Hill shook her head slightly. She wondered what their relationship was like, then bid them farewell.

After leaving the underground hideout where Chris lived, Lolan Hill flew back. It was only then that Yixuegelin spoke up.

“I didn’t expect little Lolan to know so many witches.”

“In fact, it’s not many. I think I’ve met four or five, maybe six or seven. Seems like quite a few.” Unconsciously, the young lady realized she had already gotten to know nearly ten witches.

From Trinasha to Tides, Night Mistress, Chris, Vimya, Keti, Servis, and those figures seen in Lagatis’ diary, she had slowly adapted to her identity as a witch and recognized many of her kind.

After the break ended, other students also gradually returned to Emanas, and Lolan Hill came to the small building where Florasia lived.

She had promised to accompany this friend through this year’s Winter Festival celebration.

“Welcome, Lohil.”

Seeing Lolan Hill suddenly arrive, Florasia seemed particularly delighted. Although she knew many people at school, she truly had only one close friend.

“I thought you might have forgotten again.”

“How could I?” Lolan Hill twirled a strand of hair behind her ear.

“That’s good.”

Floriasa asked how Lohil spent her vacation, and they exchanged stories about their own experiences.

Although there were fewer restrictions during school, the free time of this daughter of the Landsworth family was becoming scarce. Perhaps soon, she would return to the Verdant Kingdom first and marry the current Crown Prince.

After becoming the Crown Princess, there would be many more etiquettes and restrictions to follow, no longer as carefree as now.

But she wouldn’t tell Lolan Hill such things. Instead, she continued to maintain a relaxed relationship as before, hoping that the precious time at the academy could be even more carefree.

“Have you considered participating in this year’s Winter Festival performance, Lohil?”
