Another day of training came to an end.
After Elysia and Fu Hua returned home, they found that there were already other people in the house.
Kiana and the others hadn't even come home from school yet.
Walking to the kitchen door, Elysia poked her head in to look.
"Oh? Rita? Why are you here?" Elysia asked, looking curiously at the maid who was cooking in the kitchen.
"Miss Aili, welcome back." Rita smiled and nodded at Elysia, maintaining her usual elegant posture.
"The Lord Bishop asked me to deliver a batch of supplies to St. Freya Academy and also to assess the Valkyries of Saint Freya."
"So, I may be staying here for a while."
"Oh, you're staying here, then Rita, your room is still there, it just might need a bit of cleaning." Elysia nodded.
She only heard the last sentence, which was that Rita would be staying here for a while.
"I have already cleaned it, Miss Aili can rest for a bit in the living room, and then dinner will be ready."
"Then I'm looking forward to Rita's delicious food ♬ ~" Elysia looked at the ingredients already on the cutting board and the dishes that were already prepared.
"I won't disappoint Miss Aili."
Afterward, Elysia and Fu Hua went to the living room.
As for helping in the kitchen, Elysia hadn't even thought about it.
Ever since Fu Hua arrived here, the kitchen had already belonged to Mei and Fu Hua.
Elysia had evolved to the point where she wouldn't get up unless someone called her.
Not long after, the front door was pushed open again.
Kiana sniffed, "Eh! Did the class monitor and the others come back so early today? Is dinner already made?"
Kiana excitedly ran to the kitchen entrance, "Class monitor, what delicious food are we having tonight!"
As soon as she called out, Kiana saw that the person standing in the kitchen wasn't her familiar class monitor, but Rita, who had lived there for a while a long time ago.
"Um... you're that person from before... what was your name again?" Kiana scratched her head.
Mei also walked over to Kiana's side at this moment, and seeing Rita, said, "Sister Rita? Long time no see, when did you arrive?"
"I just came to transport some supplies, welcome back, Miss Mei, Miss Kiana."
"And, Miss Kiana, I am Rita, the vice-captain of Immortal Blades, please don't forget it again ~" Rita first greeted Mei, then said to Kiana.
"Ah, oh, I know, eh hehe." Kiana said with a silly grin.
"Miss Mei, you two go rest for a bit, dinner will be ready soon."
"Sister Rita is a guest, and yet you're making dinner, that's really embarrassing." Mei said, looking at the almost-finished dinner, feeling a bit embarrassed.
"It's alright, as a maid, cooking is my duty." Rita shook her head slightly.
"Then I'll trouble you." Hearing Rita say that, Mei had no choice but to pull Kiana and Bronya to the living room to rest for a while.
As soon as they got to the living room, they saw Elysia moving a sofa in front of the air conditioner and sitting there, letting the air conditioner blow directly on her.
"Elysia, if you do that, you'll get sick." Mei sighed, then walked to the air conditioner and adjusted the air outlet so that the wind blew towards the ceiling.
"Mei, don't you understand my physical condition? How could I possibly get sick?" Elysia reached out and adjusted the air outlet back down.
"Even if Elysia is strong, getting sick is unpredictable, so please listen to me." Mei reached out and ruffled Elysia's hair, then adjusted the air outlet back up.
"And if you really do get sick, everyone here will be worried about Elysia, so just wait a little while, and it won't be hot anymore."
"Mei really radiates a motherly glow." Elysia looked at Mei like this and couldn't help but tease her.
"Elysia, if you're going to say that, you're clearly more like one when you care for us." Mei gently tugged at Elysia's face.
"No, I don't. My care for you is just a normal older sister's care for her younger sisters." Elysia said, reaching out to poke Mei's waist.
Mei immediately let go and stepped back, just far enough that Elysia couldn't poke her.
"Elysia, you used to be so mature, how did you become just like Kiana now?" Mei said, sighing.
"Oh, that's not right, I've always been very mature ♬ ~"
"It's just that the temperature in summer really makes it hard to feel energetic." Saying that, Elysia also took out her phone and showed Mei the temperature on it.
"At this temperature, no one outside could stand it, right?"
"Yes, yes, everything Elysia says is right. I think Elysia just got lazy." Mei rolled her eyes, then sat on the sofa nearby.
Bronya also walked over at this moment; she had just gone to the refrigerator and brought some ice cream.
After distributing the ice cream to everyone present, Bronya sat down to rest.
"Great! Thank you, Bronya ♬ ~" Elysia took the ice cream, tore open the packaging, and started eating it.
Feeling the coolness in her mouth, Elysia felt as if she was melting along with the ice cream in her mouth.
Indeed, in summer, eating ice cream while sitting in an air-conditioned room was the best.
After Theresa and Himeko returned, Rita also came to call them for dinner.
At the dining table, Himeko and Theresa, one holding iced beer and the other iced bitter gourd juice, were drinking.
Regarding beer, even though the side effects of Artificial Stigmata were gone, Himeko still hadn't quit, she just drank a little less.
As they were almost done with dinner.
"Rita, I'll leave this exam to you." Himeko said to Rita.
"Don't worry, Senior Himeko, I have already designed the exam questions." Rita said with a smile.
"Exam questions?" Kiana asked curiously.
"What's so strange about that?" Himeko shook her beer, "Even though your Teacher Yang isn't here anymore, the exam still has to happen."
"I happened to see Rita when she was delivering supplies today, and I just mentioned it, and Rita said she could help with the questions." Himeko finished speaking, then took a big gulp of beer, "Refreshing!"
"Yes, Senior Himeko asked me to, so the questions must be prepared."
"Ah, I thought I wouldn't have to take History anymore." Hearing that History was still going to be tested, Kiana instantly deflated.
