[St. Freya Academy]
Because the Principal couldn't get out of bed in the morning, the entire St. Freya Academy got a day off (not really).
"Mm~"
Kiana propped herself up with both hands on the bed, rubbed her sleepy eyes, and looked around.
She found herself lying in her own bed.
"Ahh~ When did I fall asleep last night?"
Her eyes stared straight ahead as she kept trying to recall what happened last night.
But her memories only went as far as Levi and Elysia returning, and Raiden Mei untying her.
No matter how hard she thought, everything after that was completely blank.
"Haa, I'll just ask Mei later."
With her clothes in disarray, Kiana got out of bed and stretched before heading off to wash up.
As she came out of the room, the corner of her eye caught a glimpse of pink on the bed.
Creak!
After taking only a couple of steps, Kiana stopped rubbing her eyes. She recalled, frowned, and thought...
Creak!
"Why is there someone else in my room?!"
Kiana hurriedly pushed open the bedroom door.
"Levi! Was it you, you bastard?!"
The strange disappearance of her memories from last night left her with no idea what had happened.
Why was there someone else in her room?
'This is bad, this is bad, this is bad!'
Hearing the noise, Raiden Mei and Bronya exchanged a glance. Himeko, who was walking over while yawning, stopped and looked in Kiana's direction.
"Take this kick from me!", Kiana's shout rang out.
Immediately afterward came the sound of something hitting the floor.
The three immediately put down what they were doing and rushed toward Kiana's room.
Seeing the open door, Raiden Mei reached it first. After seeing the scene inside, the corner of her mouth twitched.
When she heard Kiana's voice earlier, she had been worried about Elysia.
But it turned out...
Elysia raised her head and opened her eyes, looking dazedly at the three people outside the door.
"You all came to Fire Moth..."
"Mmgh! Let go of me!"
Movement came from beneath her. Looking down, she saw Kiana. At that moment, Kiana's hands were pinned down by her and she couldn't move.
As if shocked by electricity, Elysia immediately raised both hands and got off Kiana.
Looking at the Kiana who was climbing back to her feet, she asked in confusion, "Why are you in my room?"
And she had even restrained her... uh...
Elysia looked around. Her expression suddenly turned ugly. Her neck stiffened as she turned toward Raiden Mei and the others outside the door.
With hope in her voice, she asked, "You came to Fire Moth to see me, right?"
'Fire Moth, was that the name of her organization?'
Himeko silently memorized the name, planning to search for it later in Schicksal's database.
At that moment, Kiana shattered Elysia's fantasy.
While rubbing her sore wrist, she said, "This is St. Freya Academy. Did you forget? You came here to play last night."
Feeling the pain in her wrist, she thought to herself, 'Is Elysia really that strong? She actually subdued me, a Valkyrie, so easily.'
"..."
"What time is it now?"
"Ten in the morning. It's not lunchtime yet. If you're hungry, you can eat some fruit first."
"..."
"It's over!"
Elysia looked around frantically, grabbed her clothes, and tidied the hair beside her cheeks.
"Goodbye!"
After a simple farewell, she vanished from the room instantly.
Raiden Mei withdrew her gaze from where Elysia had disappeared. At that moment, Kiana spoke, "Mei, can you tell me what happened last night?"
Meeting Raiden Mei's eyes, Kiana scratched her cheek awkwardly.
"For some reason, I don't remember anything from last night at all..."
After returning to Fire Moth, Elysia learned from Ato that, seeing she hadn't shown up, he had already requested a day off for her.
However, Elysia had a question, "Why were you at the place where the researchers live?"
Because she had complained about the accommodations, Mobius had pulled Elysia over to live there as well.
She had even arranged a fairly nice room for her.
Of course, the key issue was that everyone living there was a researcher.
As a warrior, what was Ato doing there?
Hearing Elysia's question, Ato looked somewhat embarrassed.
"Ah, well, um... I just remembered those brats are still standing under the sun. I'm leaving first! See you another day!"
Watching him flee, Elysia tilted her head.
"Hmm, has that guy already left..."
A gentle female voice sounded behind her. Hearing it, Elysia immediately turned around and happily gave the other person a big hug.
"Blanca!"
Blanca was currently Mobius's only assistant.
Ever since Mobius brought Elysia over, Blanca had been helping her with nearly everything.
"At this hour, shouldn't you be at the Doctor's lab?"
"I heard you were sick. Can't I be worried about you?", Blanca said jokingly.
"Wow~ I'm so touched~"
Even though she knew Blanca was joking, that didn't stop Elysia from feeling moved.
Blanca smiled at Elysia.
It was rare enough for the Doctor to willingly get close to someone.
"Actually, the Doctor went out today. I heard she's trying to persuade the parents of a volunteer."
Without Mobius around, there wasn't much to do at the lab.
That was why Blanca had time to come back.
Persuading a volunteer's parents?
With the survival rate in Mobius's hands, persuasion really was necessary.
Elysia nodded. Then, remembering what Blanca had just said, a bit of gossip-loving curiosity suddenly surfaced.
"Do you know Ato? How did you meet him? Do you have any special feelings for him? Do you want me to get his contact information for you?"
Listening to Elysia's rapid-fire questions, Blanca quickly interrupted her.
There were too many questions, and she didn't even know where to start answering.
"I just know him. I know he's a warrior. I don't have any particular thoughts about him. As for his contact information... no thanks."
"Actually, he came to see me to get his medical examination report. I remember giving it to him already. He probably lost it because he was careless."
Blanca shook her head.
"Fortunately, I have a habit of keeping backups. Otherwise he would've ended up with a few more needle holes."
It sounded like the two really were just acquaintances.
But Elysia still felt things weren't that simple.
"Then..."
Elysia raised her head.
"Does Ato have feelings for you?"
For a moment, Blanca was at a loss for words.
"He probably doesn't. I'm just an ordinary researcher."
And besides, she was a researcher at the 'notorious' Mobius Laboratory.
———
Back in her room, Elysia sat on the bed with nothing to do.
She had thought she would be punished or at least scolded a little.
Instead, after returning, nothing happened at all.
"So boring~"
She opened the chat group.
Seeing the conversation above, she suddenly became interested.
[Elysia: Lazy dog~]
[Levi: ?]
[Stelle: 10 - 6 = 4.]
[Lumine: I would call it: Invincible!]
