The Girls Are All Coveting Me

Senior Sister Miseria...

She has a really good relationship with President Lilith.

So she's also the one most affected.

Thinking of this, the Little Gourmet Knight looked at Senior Sister Miseria with a pitiful expression.

"Fratiss, have you made any lunch plans with others?"

"Nope."

"Then eat with me, it's my treat." Miseria said, suddenly remembering something, turned her head, and said, "Do you have any plans? If not, want to join?"

Chloe was taken aback and said:

"Huh? Me?"

"Who else would it be?"

"Ah, sorry, I've already made plans with Daniel; how about next time, Senior Sister?"

"Go away, there won't be a next time!"

Chloe grinned cheekily and said:

"Then can you accompany me to Amber Hall? Going alone feels like being left out."

"I don't want to, too troublesome." Miseria snorted lightly and said, "Come on, Fratiss, Senior Sister is treating you to a meal!"

"Oh! Food!"

The two left laughing happily.

Chloe heard his phone vibrate, took it out, and glanced at it.

It was a message from Lilith.

[Everyone is having dinner tonight, are you coming?]

Chloe hesitated for a moment.

Being with a group was better; at least it wouldn't be awkward with Lilith.

Thinking about the wild time at the Amber Hall bar sofa before, he felt a bit embarrassed.

It was really crazy.

Lilith: [Fufu will also be there for dinner]

Chloe: [Alright, I'll come]

Instant reply.

Since Sister Fufu is going, there's no helping it.

At that moment, a familiar voice suddenly came from up ahead.

"Hey! Fufu, do you have a death wish?"

"Huh? Senior Sister Fufu, don't you have class today?"

"Good afternoon, Fratiss."

"Good afternoon, Senior Sister."

He walked over and saw Miseria, looking frustrated, pulling on Senior Sister Fufu saying:

"You're going to be the death of me, you said this course was easy and a breeze to pass. Why is there a mid-term project?!"

Fufu gently rubbed Miseria's head back and forth, saying:

"Don't cry, don't cry, calm down, calm down!"

"Ugh, my credits, my scholarship, boohoo~ What should I do!" Miseria buried her head in Fufu's front and pitifully looked up saying, "You have to treat me to a meal~"

"Hehehe, since you said that, I have no choice but to comply! Eek~"

Fufu was surprised, seeing Chloe walking out from behind, and said:

"Isn't this Junior Chloe? Want to join us for lunch?!"

That voice was so cute, and Chloe knew right away that Fufu intentionally came looking for him.

"Good afternoon, Sister Fufu."

Off to the side, Miseria mimicked Fufu's voice:

"Isn't this Junior Chloe? Want to have lunch with us?"

The voice was coy, and the action looked adorable.

But the expression on her face seemed annoying.

On the side, Fratiss wanted to laugh but didn't dare, face flushed red.

Chloe shrugged and said, "Is Senior Sister Miseria always this~ cute?"

"Since when am I not cute?" Miseria turned, displeased, pinching Fufu's cheeks, saying, "Junior Chloe has plans with someone else, Fufu join us for lunch?"

"Huh? Why?" Senior Sister Fufu, her cheeks pinched out of shape, said pitifully, "Come join the senior sisters for a meal."

Off to the side, Fratiss, seemingly ignored, had question marks pop up on her forehead.

"Then let's hurry up, where should we eat?" Chloe immediately changed his tone, "Oh right, Senior Sister Miseria, treat me to a meal too!"

Miseria said coldly: "I won't."

"You just said you'd treat the junior."

"The missed point wasn't missed; it was passed."

"Want the junior to show you how to cry?"

"I've never seen someone so shameless."

The two bantered playfully, while Fufu's cute eyes quietly observed them both.

Alright, it's confirmed.

"You two seem to be getting along quite well."

She faintly remembered that the atmosphere between them used to be more tense initially.

But now, at least they're friends who can laugh and joke around.

Miseria scratched her head and said nothing.

As an excellent student, she hated anyone breaking the rules the most.

She stopped many of Lilith's outrageous actions.

But upon getting to know Chloe, she found he wasn't the type to sneak in through connections, and she instead felt a bit apologetic.

In fact, she had privately apologized to Chloe.

Chloe had accepted it too.

Both of them are the type who speak their minds.

Especially this time, the two Associations were traveling together and collaborated quite a bit.

Miseria, although saddened by the death of a familiar senior, had no resentment towards Chloe.

Or rather, who would have a problem with someone who crossed the fall zone, even nearly dying, to save a newly joined member?

No matter how proud Miseria was, when she mentioned Chloe privately to other members, she gave a thumbs up and said:

"He's amazing."

Without any grudges, their relationship naturally improved rapidly.

"Haha, I was worried you two would still be at odds like before!"

Chloe immediately raised his hand and said:

"Not me."

"Hehe, Chloe, Fratiss, I got paid by the Association, let me treat you!"

Fratiss said, eyes sparkling: "Great!"

"Count me in!" Miseria sighed.

"There's enough for everyone, let's go eat first."

Chloe looked at Sister Fufu's beaming face and showed a gentle smile.

Then he thought about how Sister Fufu was also going to the dinner gathering later, and considered inviting her to go together.

Just as he was thinking this, a pair of cold hands took his.

Chloe looked up.

It was Sister Fufu.

At this time, Miseria and Fratiss were chatting and laughing up ahead.

The two of them lagged behind.

Sister Fufu looked at him adorably and made a hush gesture.

The two of them walked hand in hand at the back, chatting and laughing.

Seizing the opportunity, Chloe asked:

"Sister Fufu, do you have dinner plans with Senior Sister and them tonight?"

He intended to suggest going together later.

But the next moment he heard Fufu say:

"Nope, my mentor has called us to the Shadow Plane tonight, so I won't be back until tomorrow."

Fufu's mentor is a very powerful Legendary Shadow Stab.

Though the identity of that female Shadow Stab is quite awkward.

Because her last name is Snake.

Due to Dancer Noding's rebellion, the entire Snake Family was implicated.

However, that Shadow Stab was protected by the Vice-Dean.

But because of some black history, she was removed from the position of Deputy Director.

Of course...

After returning from the Menilanka area, Chloe vaguely sensed something was off.

What was going on with Senior Noding is still hard to say.

Nonetheless.

These aren't the main points.

The main point is...

Lilith, you nearly got me killed!

"You're going to the Shadow Plane?" Chloe immediately changed the subject.

"Yes, why?" Fufu looked back at him and said.

"It's a bit dangerous there,"

"Yes, but I'm at Sequence Seven now, just entering the Shadow Stab's power surge phase, so the mentor is going to take me there to train for a while."

"Okay, as long as the mentor is with you, it's fine."

At this time, Miseria turned back and said:

"Fufu, there's a decent steakhouse at the crossroads, how about we have dinner there?"

Fufu ran over and said:

"That place's steak is indeed good, and the grilled sausages are delicious too!"

Only Chloe stayed behind, quietly looking at the messages on his phone.

Fine, fine, fine.

Lilith!

No, Walnut!

You're being cheeky, huh, afraid I won't go out with you, and even find a cushion.

…Evening…

Rephya wore her freshly dried new clothes, with the phone on speaker.

On the other side of the call.

Aisha's voice came through the phone:

"Rephya, aren't you here yet?"

"Almost there, the restaurant you picked is so tucked away, I can't find it!"

Just as Rephya was looking around, she suddenly spotted a striking figure standing there amidst the dim lights, dazzling like a beacon.

She paused in surprise:

"Huh, is President Lilith waiting for someone?"
