"I say, Bai Mo, is it really okay for you to ask me out like this?"
Looking at Bai Mo who was buying octopus balls at the snack stand next to her, Raven walked over and said softly.
"It's okay, it's the same as before."
After paying and handing a portion to Raven, Bai Mo said while eating.
"Don't mention it. Rita came to our academy yesterday, so I wanted to hide out. After all, I don't want to have anything to do with her."
Seeing that Raven didn't say anything, Bai Mo explained.
After all, she couldn't stay under Rita's nose in her current situation. If she was targeted, it would be miserable. Or she was already targeted, and Rita was just sent by Otto to observe her.
"Rita? The one who fought me last time?"
"That woman is really hard to deal with, but if you want to avoid her, why don't you just hide in the academy and not come out? Won't you attract attention if you come out openly like this?"
Raven took a bite of the octopus ball and then wiped the sauce from the corner of her mouth.
"Hiding in the academy and not seeing people will arouse suspicion, okay? I can't disrupt my original plan because of Rita's appearance."
"After all, only by acting more naturally can you avoid being discovered, right, Island Exploding Crow~"
Bai Mo smiled frivolously, and at the same time emphasized the accent on the words Island Exploding Crow.
"I told you not to call me by that name!! I haven't bought the island yet!"
"Besides, aren't you afraid that Rita will recognize me and take you back?"
Raven stamped her feet and said unhappily. After all, this was not the first time that Bai Mo called her by that name. In order to make her understand the meaning of this name, Bai Mo also specifically talked about the things that would happen when she bought an island in the future.
In short, as long as she bought an island, the island would be bombed, raised, or flattened for various reasons. Since it was not auspicious, Raven didn't want Bai Mo to tease her about this.
"Of course I'm afraid that Rita would recognize you, so today I asked you to put on makeup and change your clothes. And if I was caught, Natasha, you would definitely come to save me~"
As if she didn't feel Raven's resentful look, Bai Mo continued to speak, and at the same time pinched Raven's shoulder in a flattering manner.
"No, absolutely not! I'm so unlucky to have a little friend like you."
Half-jokingly pushing Bai Mo, Raven turned her head and said with a wry smile.
After a while of playing around, the two of them pretended to be disgusted and held each other's hands, and then walked towards the coffee shop in the distance.
Along the way, the two of them also attracted a lot of attention. After all, who can resist looking at two beautiful girls walking on the street? Besides, the two of them are really good-looking.
And today Raven also changed her previous style and put on light makeup on her face. At the same time, she chose a light gray shirt and trousers, and the whole person looked cool.
...
In the coffee shop, the two deliberately chose a corner where no one would disturb them and started a leisurely fishing time.
"Hey, I miss the time when I first met you."
Tasting the coffee left on the corner of her lips, Raven looked at Bai Mo and said.
"Why, is my current appearance very different from before?"
Bai Mo was a little puzzled as to why Raven said that.
"Well... you were very honest and shy back then, but now... you are too contemptuous, always teasing me."
Looking at Bai Mo's lack of self-awareness, Raven waved her hand in disdain.
"How dare you say that to me? I don't even know who you are, but you looked so cold when you first met me."
Bai Mo was not to be outdone and directly retorted.
Indeed, both of them were very reserved when they first met.
As for why the relationship gradually became what it is now, we have to mention Kevin. After all, it was Kevin who asked Raven to contact Bai Mo and take care of some of Bai Mo's follow-up matters.
It can also be said that World Serpent is more like an artist company, and Bai Mo is a new artist, while Raven is Bai Mo's first person in charge, that is, her agent.
So in order to build a good relationship, Raven started to chat with Bai Mo intentionally or unintentionally from then on, and Bai Mo was also very happy to communicate with Raven. In this way, the two chatted more and more, and soon became friends.
There have been many offline gatherings like this, and for some reason, Raven always feels that there is something about Bai Mo that particularly attracts her. It is also very comfortable to be with her, and she can experience the feeling of relaxation for the first time in a long time.
At the same time, Bai Mo also cherishes Raven as a friend. After all, because Kevin is also in the chat group, her identity has always been in the open state, and she doesn't have to hide it like in Saint Freya.
So Bai Mo will usually find Raven to complain and share anything, and Bai Mo also shared a lot of small things in the plot with Raven.
Over time, the relationship between the two has become better and better, and it has become what it is now. Whoever sees each other will tease each other.
...
"By the way, Raven, do you want to see what Kevin looked like when he was young? I promise you will be shocked!"
With a malicious smile, Bai Mo leaned over Raven's ear and said.
"Lord? Why, you have a photo of him when he was young? It's been more than 50,000 years..."
Although she was a little curious, Raven still couldn't believe it, after all, it was too long ago.
"Well, close your eyes and relax your consciousness."
Seeing that Raven didn't believe it, Bai Mo asked mysteriously.
"Okay, then what?"
Raven closed her eyes and relaxed her consciousness after listening to Bai Mo's words.
"Then I'm coming in!"
Seeing that Raven did as she was told, Bai Mo immediately used the power of the Herrscher of Sentience to invade Raven's consciousness.
Under Bai Mo's manipulation, Raven soon saw an image of a young man suddenly in her mind.
"Tall... not bad... white hair... cool... a handsome smile, huh?! Wait... this guy... this guy is our Lord?!!"
Carefully judging the appearance of the boy in her mind, Raven looked leisurely, but when she saw the boy's appearance, Raven exclaimed, shouting in her heart that this is impossible.
"Yes, this is what Kevin looked like in high school, when he was not crazy."
Seeing that Raven looked like she had seen a ghost, Bai Mo explained a little and sighed at the same time.
