Chapter 95: Great Failure
What disappointed You Ling was that there was no information regarding Camille, the spirit behind the Millennium Key .
When Nia, Rovik, and Kevin took the advice and left the underground space, Camille did not follow them.
By the time Kevin realized something was wrong and wanted to turn back, it was as if to deliberately erase evidence of the underground space's existence; the necessary path at the entrance was directly and completely blocked by a huge fallen rock.
This led to the situation where even if the members of the High-Level Research Society wanted to go back and find Camille, they couldn't.
Unless they summoned a powerful monster, like Red-Eyes Black Dragon , to blast through it along with the fallen rock.
Of course, whether such a dangerous action would cause the already unstable underground space to further collapse, no one could say for sure.
Besides, Camille had said he preferred to stay underground alone.
Perhaps after losing his host, the spirit behind also lost the will to continue fighting.
Thus, following Camille's will and letting the Millennium Key sleep beneath Fusion Academy didn't seem like a bad thing.
Although losing the information on how a spirit behind could materialize independently was very regrettable, You Ling also vaguely felt that Camille's method wasn't applicable to himself.
The reason little shota Camille could manifest independently as a spirit behind was largely because his original host was killed by the holder of another Millennium Item.
If the condition for obtaining a body was the death of the Millennium Item's host, if this question were posed to You Ling, You Ling would absolutely not choose to sacrifice Aisha.
"Then today's club activity is perfectly concluded! Dismissed!"
Amidst Nia's excited shouts, swaying her chocolate mochi balls, the High Elf Research Society's activity of unsealing the Despair God card officially concluded.
The overly lively atmosphere on the High-Level Research side surprised the two from the Self-Destruct Switch Activation Group next door, making them feel betrayed.
What happened, High-Level Research suddenly became popular?
Didn't we agree to eat, drink, and wait for death together, and disband the club together?
How did you guys take off on your own?
After the club activity dismissed, the sky had darkened, and Kevin finally stopped insisting on following Aisha.
Estimating it was about dinnertime, Aisha immediately ran to Fusion Academy's library to find Irena, as an apology for standing her up today, she had to at least treat her senpai to dinner.
As a result, after arriving at the library, she learned that Irena had also taken a rare day off today, letting someone else take over the librarian's duties.
This wave belonged to mutual ditching.
Since it was extremely rare for Irena to take leave, Aisha, feeling somewhat worried, still sent a message using a Guide Bug , inquiring about Irena's situation.
「(•ω•;) Got a cold, sorry. Neglected my health management recently, so careless (sticks out tongue)~」
Fluorescent substances in the Guide Bug formed text.
After receiving such a reply from Irena, Aisha first felt slightly relieved, but then a bit worried about Irena's illness.
If Irena still takes leave tomorrow, I'll go visit her. Aisha decided.
After eating a cheap dinner alone and returning to the dormitory, Aisha was thoroughly surprised by the change in her dorm room.
"Is this really my room? It's too cute!"
In the room, all sorts of pink decorations full of girlish charm were hung, and cute dolls also filled the top of the wardrobe.
That long-unused bed, not only was the bedsheet changed to a style printed with little rabbits, but there was also a carrot bolster pillow at the head of the bed that looked very healing.
Without even thinking, the room looking like this was definitely Luka Srlent's doing.
No wonder that suitcase could hold such an exaggerated amount; just those little animal dolls were enough to occupy a large part of the suitcase's volume.
The room was tidied up to be exceptionally cute, but Luka herself was not in the room.
"Student Luka, did she go out for dinner?"
Taking off her shoes and socks, with her exquisite and cute little bare feet, Aisha sat properly on the chair in front of the desk.
After the room completely changed, she instead felt a bit unaccustomed.
But it was clear that Luka had also tidied it up seriously.
Cute to the point of being flamboyant, yet not messy, it was a degree Aisha could accept.
"A new roommate, huh? I really don't know how to get along."
Coincidentally, You Ling, at this moment, shared the exact same anxiety as Aisha.
Dark Aisha had been squatting on the ground since just now, flipping through the cards in her hand one by one, not speaking or chatting.
The aura on her body, keeping people at a thousand miles' distance, seemed to be saying to You Ling, 'Just treat me as air'.
At that moment, a burst of hurried footsteps came from the doorway.
"Is student Luka back?"
Aisha opened the door in advance.
"QAQ Wuwuwu, Xiao Ai, I failed at card printing !"
As a result, the one who rushed into the room and hugged Aisha directly was Yilin, who had gone to the magic society to help today and missed the crucial God Card trial.
"Wh-what's wrong, Lin-chan? What card printing failed? It's okay, it's okay, good girl, don't cry, don't cry."
Rarely seeing her usually confident childhood friend so dejected, Aisha also gently stroked the soft red hair of Yilin in her arms, offering comfort.
"Wuwuwu, today the magic society asked me to help, saying they were concocting a transformation potion that could be used to enhance card effects."
"Magic potions can also be used to enhance card effects?"
This was the first time Aisha had heard of such a thing.
"Although it's still in the experimental stage, everyone was very confident. As a result, as a result..."
The more Yilin spoke, the more aggrieved she became, her snot almost running onto Aisha's clothes.
"Every time! Every time I was about to finish concocting, an earthquake would suddenly occur, shattering the test tubes on my table."
"(￣ー￣) Earth-earthquake?"
Aisha suddenly felt a bit guilty.
"Three consecutive times! Three times! It felt like heaven was deliberately playing tricks on me; the academy actually had three earthquakes in one day, can you believe it? And each time it shook at the most crucial moment!"
"(￣ー￣) Thr-three earthquakes."
Doomed, Aisha was already so guilty that sweat started beading on her forehead.
If nothing unexpected happened, the earthquakes that caused Yilin's three failures were all caused by herself.
The first time was Arcana Knight Joker dismantling the labyrinth, the second time was Demon Dragon Dark Demon Dragon taking out Gate Guardian , and the third time was the summoning of Despair God.
"I'm sorry, Lin-chan orz!"
"Eh, Xiao Ai, why are you apologizing?"
Aisha bowed deeply, an act of apology just short of a dogeza, which instead confused Yilin.
"Don't ask. If there's anything I can do to help you, just ask, I won't refuse."
A strong sense of guilt almost crushed the girl's kind and fragile heart.
"Really? You won't refuse any request? Xiao Ai, you better not lie to me."
Aisha's sudden change in attitude gave Yilin, who already had a request for her, a perfect opportunity.
"I'm not lying, Lin-chan, just say it."
"Xiao Ai, we're best friends, right?"
"Mhm mhm mhm."
"Then lend me You Ling for a day."
"(・◇・)? Huh?"
