Hate Me, Miss Witch!

Chapter 23 You smell of her perfume~

This time it was Char's turn to be surprised.

"I know I probably still have the smell of her perfume on me, but how on earth did you tell that this perfume smells like Diris?"

"Is this the legendary sixth sense that belongs only to women?"

"It's a pity that I don't have that ability. As far as I know, divination skills are extremely rare even among time beasts."

Airola stretched out her hand without changing her expression and helped Xia Ya straighten her slightly crooked collar.

"I just feel that if there is an opponent in St. Laurent College who has a 100% chance of threatening me, then she can only be President Diris."

"The confidence of the most beautiful girl at Saint Laurent Academy!"

Xia Ya gave a thumbs up, but noticed that the air around him did not seem to relax a little because of his praise.

"Actually, it was the president who discovered me on the train, so she wanted to take me to make up for the exam and attend some social dinner for the academy nobles, but I cleverly slipped away."

"Everything I tell is the truth, Xiao Ai, you have to believe me."

"Of course I believe you." Aurora tilted her head, her long blond hair hanging down to one side: "What are you trying to explain to yourself, Xia Ya?"

Xia Ya felt a little sweaty for the first time in a long time.

So he decided to pull out his ultimate trump card.

"Hey! (Big sister! Long time no see!)"

"Chirp...chir! (Big sister...Big sister, long time no see!)"

As a contract object connected with Char's soul.

The little golden monkey and little ferret appearing on Char's shoulders, one on the left and the other on the right, became adorable as soon as they appeared.

Facts have proved that the effect of this trick is indeed outstanding.

Although Airola's plain white face remained calm, the surrounding air was obviously relaxed.

"Long time no see, Silver."

She reached out and rubbed the little ferret's head, then looked at Twinkle to the side.

"Have you finally finished your pregnancy?"

"Chirp!"

Twinkle nodded excitedly.

Although technically speaking, it was only a little over a week old, but in the form of a "sealing stone", it had been following Char for several years.

Although the Sealing Stone Monkey in the form of a Sealing Stone has almost no ability to move, it still retains its perception of the outside world.

Therefore, Twinkle is no stranger to Aurora.

Seriously speaking, this is the real eldest sister.

It is the elder sister who reigns over elder sister Yin.

After teasing Yin and Shining for a while, Aurora looked at Char again with her beautiful sky blue eyes.

She leaned down and whispered in Xia Ya's ear: "We have found some traces of what happened at that time."

"According to the clues given by the Shadow Council——"

"Eight years ago, a letter was secretly sent from a noble mansion in the imperial capital."

"Passing through the Theocracy, we finally arrived at a lost country in a deserted land."

"Seven days after receiving that letter, Ceylon fell."

Ceylon is a place name.

At least, it used to be.

It was a border city located in the northernmost part of the empire, on the permafrost ice sheet.

Although it is not very rich, it is still a home for hundreds of thousands of northern residents to live and work in peace and contentment.

But eight years ago, a catastrophe that is still shrouded in fog even today turned Ceylon into a thing of the past.

Char, Aurora and Silver——

Perhaps they are the last remnants of that ice sheet.

Char looked at the ceiling of the dormitory in front of him: "What is the rating given to this intelligence by the Shadow Council?"

""The Saint's Evening Bell""

Xia Ya nodded.

The Shadow Council is the most prestigious secret organization in the Western Continent. It was founded on intelligence trading and is involved in various gray industries such as employment missions and the black market.

Its status in the hidden world is no less than that of the Holy See and the Foresta Empire in the outer world. It is a real behemoth in the gray world.

The "Evening Bell of the Saint" is the second level of the Shadow Council's intelligence hierarchy.

This means that the intelligence content directly or indirectly involves the legend, or the Lost King with equal combat power.

Second only to the first level, it represents the "Death Reporting Angel" involving demigod-level power.

Char was silent for a moment.

Then, he sat up from the bed and waved his hand nonchalantly: "No matter what, at least we have clues and direction."

"As for whether it is the Angel of Death or the Evening Bell of the Saint, it has nothing to do with us now."

“Whoever is killed will die, and Ruth has to go one step at a time.”

"Xiao Ai, you shouldn't be far from the Third Ring Road, right?"

"Um."

Aurora nodded and looked at Xia calmly with her ice-blue eyes: "Maybe it happened in the past two months."

"I'm almost there, so the next step is to break through the third ring as my primary goal."

Xia Ya put the pillow on the back of the bed, stretched out comfortably, and grabbed the little ferret to use as a pillow: "Also, I have to find a way to save enough money to buy a slightly better fire element. Extraordinary materials act as a source of fire to complete that damn Amaterasu.”

"Everything really costs money... If I had known better, I wouldn't have been so anxious to create Amaterasu. This feeling of being able to watch but not use it is too painful. It reminds me of some cheating krypton gold mobile games."

"嘤~"

The little ferret, who was held in his arms and used as a pillow, protested.

Just thinking that the Amaterasu he cherished so much had to empty his master's treasury to replenish it, Gin's protest became much weaker.

boom--

Suddenly there was a loud noise in the sky, followed immediately by the light of fire reaching into the sky in the distance.

The windows were shattered by the huge shock wave, and glass fragments mixed with dust fell.

What followed were countless panicked shouts and hurried footsteps.

"Run away! Run away!"

"Help, I'm on fire, help me put out the fire quickly... I want you to help me put out the fire! I'm not asking your dada duck to use a high-pressure water cannon on me!"

"Senior, your blue-winged giant eagle can fly, right? Take me and run with you!"

"When a woman gets on the bus, a man can make himself stronger. You are a male, so get out of here. I am rushing to the girls' dormitory area to rescue the schoolgirls."

"Don't squeeze me! My slime breast pads are going to be squeezed out!"

…

Obviously, today's Saint Laurent Academy is also very weak.

Xia put the little ferret on her ears to act as noise-canceling headphones while continuing to think about her money-making career.

It seems necessary to copy another work from a previous life and bring it to the Royal Book Society to earn money.

Which one should I choose, "The Revenge of Hamlet, the Dragon Prince" or "Millions of Rheingolds"?

"So, you won't run?"

There was a hint of helplessness in Airola's cold voice.

"Why are you running?"

"Anyway, either a certain dean's king's pet beast went berserk and out of control, or one of the artificial pet beast plans of the Mechanical Institute was contaminated by the star realm, or the core of the magic furnace of the Alchemy Institute exploded again."

"Otherwise, some criminal group is going crazy again and wants to show its presence."

Xia Ya brushed the dull hair on Yin's little head and changed herself into a comfortable sleeping position: "Anyway, I'm tired after riding the train for three days."

"Let me lie down for a while and use my sleep to escape the reality of our poverty."

Now that we have set foot in the extraordinary world, we must be aware of being disturbed by extraordinary events at all times. Being able to fall asleep amidst noisy noises is a compulsory course for every beast master.

At this moment, the door to the dormitory was suddenly opened.

A thug, shrouded in a black robe, holding a steel sickle in both hands, and with the label of an outlaw stamped on his forehead, broke in.

He looked at Char, who was slumped on the bed, as if his body had been hollowed out, and Aurora, who was sitting on the bedside table.

As if he thought of something, the thug's eyes narrowed slightly: "How dare two students who don't even have hair to do such things..."

"Today's empire is really in decline, its morals have declined, and it has long been decayed to the point of being ugly."

"Such sins will be purified by the black flame divine punishment sent down by my lord, the God of Ashes..."

The thug didn't finish his sentence.

He suddenly saw that the previously sluggish salty fish boy stood up suddenly.

He sat up in shock while dying of illness.

Then, the other party stared at him with a look that was difficult for thugs to understand.

"You said... you are the Order of Ashes?"

The corners of Xia Ya's mouth curled up.

The faint green light flashing in the dark eyes reminded the thugs of a pack of hungry wolves in the wilderness.

"The Ashes Order, which believes in the Lord of Black Flame and Ashes, and whose doctrine is to use the flames of God to burn all heretics in the world?"
