Chapter 42

(The text on the card reads: "Lovely Ifia, I hope you enjoy the caramel pudding. Unfortunately, you couldn't come in person. Please be careful when going to unfamiliar places. If you need my company, don't hesitate. Also, won't you introduce your new friends to me?")

The elegant and beautiful words on the card carried a faint fragrance.

Ifia looked at Amelia's instructions, feeling delighted. There was no need to hide her emotions in the dormitory. Her uplifted mouth almost reached the sky.

Holding the card, she fell backward onto the bed, immediately rolling over, kicking her feet, and expressing her turbulent emotions. After what felt like a long time without hearing someone care about her, she felt truly happy!

After venting through the rolls, Ifia sat up again. Her once smooth black hair was now disheveled. Her watery almond eyes blinked as she looked at the card, unable to suppress her laughter.

The strong desire to express herself made her focus on the system.

[System, look quickly! Amelia is caring about me. Your assigned tasks are just a piece of cake. They can't stump me, Ifia. I can complete them in minutes!]

[Did any of the hosts you've dealt with before match my level of awesomeness?]

The system, looking at the almost laughing host, didn't know what to say first.

The message from the villainess was far from caring! She was questioning.

During the visit to Medanie's fortune-telling shop, why did she reject her invitation to travel with others?

And, the last sentence on the card made the system sweat for Jessica… because the villainess had set her eyes on the host, this fool. How unfortunate!

The crucial point is that its host didn't notice at all!

Instead, she thought the villainess was caring about her.

It can only be said that fools can't understand deeper meanings, and first impressions can be deceiving.

Providing assistance at the first meeting and being considerate and gentle afterward… Thus, in the host's mind, the villainess is an exceptionally good person.

Anyone could be a bad person, except the villainess!

Especially after doubting the villainess due to the butler incident, Ifia became even more convinced that the villainess was genuine.

[Host, you're amazing, truly formidable. I admire you so much.]

[Your emotionless praise is too perfunctory. I don't like it. Change it!]

Listening to the host's words, the system just wanted to roll its eyes in silence. It had just left the factory and was thrown into this SSS-level difficulty world. It didn't even have time to find a good partner, it randomly bound with one and was then kicked over by the main god.

Now, asking if it was the most formidable, there wasn't even an object for comparison!

The system ignored Ifia's inflation and went offline invisibly. Ifia's several calls ended in failure, so she stopped bothering the system. Instead, she got up, left the bed, and went to her class.

After observing for a moment, she took out a thick theology textbook, placing the card inside solemnly.

This kind of memorable little thing needed to be preserved well. She planned to buy an iron box in the future to store it.

"Irene, the bracelet you made looks so nice. Can you teach me? It would make a great composite gift, and Ronnie would surely love it!"

"You and Ronnie are back together?"

"Yeah, Ronnie told me that he was forced by Britney before, and he had no choice but to compromise. Now that Britney has dropped out, he can be with me again."

Just listening to these suffocating words, there was no need to guess at all. It was definitely Fiona, the extreme romantic.

Ifia quickly climbed onto the bed, then took out the novel pressed under the pillow, hastily flipping to the last page she had read. She then put on a serious expression, pretending to be immersed in the world of the novel.

This was to avoid being caught by Fiona and subjected once again to the glorification of her and Ronnie's bizarre love history. The taste of that sarcasm was like Sun Wukong being tightened by the golden hoop, unbearably painful!

Like Irene, Fiona didn't have much reaction to George's expulsion.

Her indifferent appearance confirmed their plastic friendship, not worth mentioning.

Therefore, facing Ifia again, Fiona treated her more naturally than Irene… After all, she didn't need to borrow money anymore, and there were no other conflicts with Ifia.

Moreover, Ifia was a very qualified listener and had befriended Jessica in class. If she casually mentioned it during a chat with nobles, her and Ronnie's love story would spread among the nobility!

If it spread within the noble circle later, Ronnie would surely be delighted, and she would be proud. Just thinking about it was so exciting!

Of course, Fiona would still be cautious and not expose her thoughts in front of Irene.

Last time, when Irene was absent, Fiona directly grabbed Ifia and enthusiastically narrated the complete story of her love life.

After listening, Ifia was shocked, her pupils shaking, not knowing whether to praise Ronnie as a master of pickup artistry or to commend Fiona for surpassing the one who had been digging wild vegetables for eighteen years…

If Fiona wanted to kill someone for Ronnie, Ifia wouldn't find it strange at all!

As the conversation gradually grew louder, the door of the dormitory was pushed open from outside. In addition to Irene and Fiona, there were three unfamiliar faces… Because Ifia had just arrived at the academy and often daydreamed in class, she wasn't familiar with her classmates.

Unless they actively approach, like Lucy and Jessica, the remaining classmates wouldn't be recognized even if they walked down the street.

Ifia pretended to glance at the door, smiled, greeted Irene and the others, and then continued to lower her head, pretending to be engrossed in her novel. Her focused and serious appearance made people hesitant to disturb her.

In reality, she had already perked up her ears. How could a bystander miss out on juicy gossip!

The newcomers didn't disturb Ifia, they sat in front of Irene's desk and started chatting.

"Do you know how good Ronnie is to me? He actually made bread for me by hand and added sugar to it. That's expensive sugar. It made my heart blossom. Ronnie is the best man in the world. He…"

The first to speak was Fiona. Ifia, eavesdropping, put on a mask of agony, eager to intervene!

"Hey, did you know that there have been missing persons cases in Darwa City!"

Perhaps hearing Ifia's silent prayer, or maybe others were tired of Fiona's love stories, someone quickly spoke up to interrupt before Fiona could delve deeper.

Whenever it involved mysterious events or criminal cases, it always piqued people's curiosity, making them unconsciously want to know more.

"Missing persons cases?"

"Yeah, two people have been missing for three days. But because they are commoners, the efficiency of the Imperial Police is not high. If it were nobles missing, they would have been found long ago."

"The missing people are all commoners, this is really scary!"

"Moreover, the missing commoners are all young women. We should be careful when leaving Pulis Academy during the holidays."

While Ifia listened with great interest, the system checked the script and discovered that the missing persons case in Dalwa City was actually a plot point. The female protagonist would be involved and eventually rescued by the male protagonist.

The process seemed very perilous!

Fortunately, the original plot did not involve Ifia in this plot point, and the foolish host it was bound to should not encounter any problems…

Right?
