Chapter 13 : Chapter 13
Chapter 13 : Disaster is always one step behind me
Ten minutes passed in a flash.
Just as pre-planned, the moment the end-of-class bell rang, our dear Teacher Jiang had just finished packing the books on the podium and was about to leave the classroom to go home for lunch, when she was surprised to find that a figure was actually faster than her!
Only a purple flash was seen streaking past, and Iphilia's figure instantly disappeared from the classroom.
Jiang Mengyun quickly stepped forward in confusion, only to be shocked again: in just a fleeting moment, Iphilia's figure had already vanished without a trace!
『Disaster is always one step behind me!』
“Iphilia-classmate, turns out she can run so fast?”
And before she could recover from her shock, Aimiya had already calmly walked to her side, poking her little head out with her, and said with some emotion: “She runs quite fast”
“Eh? Aimiya-classmate?”
“Hee hee～A game of cat and mouse? I'm best at that!”
Aimiya had no intention of paying attention to Jiang Mengyun.
She licked her lips excitedly, humming a song as she skipped towards the direction where Iphilia had disappeared.
Only Teacher Jiang and the students were left, looking completely bewildered.
Jiang Mengyun was alright; young teachers tend to be more simple-minded but the students were different!
“Holy crap? She flees, she pursues, she can't escape even with wings? What kind of heaven-defying plot development is this!?”
“I declare I'm shipping this pair!”
“What to do, looking at these two, there's definitely some unspeakable secret!”
“And considering their completely different dates of returning to the country, tsk tsk tsk, just this alone can make me imagine hundreds of thousands of words of novel content!”
“Dude, no bookstore is safe from you!” (A pun: sounds like "no bookstore is safe from being smashed," implying the person's ideas are so wild/good they'd be a hit.)
And while the students were gathered together, excitedly discussing in a hubbub, only Zhang Anran sat alone in his seat, his lips pressed tightly together, saying nothing.
…
“Phew… Phew… Phew… How strange, that angel actually didn't chase after me?”
Iphilia, who had already run a hundred and eight thousand li away from the school, somewhat wretchedly retracted the pair of colorful demon wings on either side of her waist, panting heavily from exhaustion.
To think she had even specifically unfurled her wings to accelerate her flight speed to prevent Aimiya from catching up; it seemed like a wasted effort!
“But speaking of which, I remember I seemed to have something to do this noon? What was it again?”
Iphilia suddenly remembered that she had originally planned to do something this noon, but probably because she was thoroughly frightened by the arrival of her new deskmate, she couldn't quite recall what it was for a moment…
Was it a new judgment plan? No, no! Or was it to meet her new housemate? That's not right either!
“Right! It was to visit Uncle Wei and the others!”
Iphilia clapped her hands, remembering her original plan for the lunch break.
Uncle Wei, was a middle-aged uncle who lived in the residential complex next to Iphilia's.
He was kind and generous, had an overwhelming sense of justice, and was very willing to help others.
He was a typical honest man, and the neighbors always had a very high opinion of him.
As for how Iphilia got to know him, it was because a year ago, when Iphilia first arrived in Wangyou City, she was cornered by a group of ignorant little hooligans.
And just as she was about to teach those little hooligans a good lesson and let them know why flowers were so red, Uncle Wei, seeing injustice, rushed in and, with a few quick moves, took down all those little hooligans before Iphilia could make a move.
Turning around, he didn't forget to ask Iphilia if she was frightened.
But in reality, it was Uncle Wei's act of braverly that successfully saved the lives of those little hooligans.
Otherwise, if Iphilia had done it herself, given her state when she had just come out of Hell and didn't know how to hold back, those little hooligans could probably have gone directly to reincarnate.
Oh wait, logically speaking, they would at least be thrown into a wok of oil by her stinky old dad to vent his anger.
All in all, because Iphilia herself had an extraordinary obsession with justice, she had always had a full score of good feelings for people like Uncle Wei who acted bravely for a just cause and dared to step forward.
In addition, Iphilia later participated in a community gala organized by the neighborhood when she was bored and had nothing to do.
At the gala, she interacted with Uncle Wei's family a few more times, and over time, they gradually became familiar.
And the reason Iphilia was visiting Uncle Wei this time was because—the victim in the case involving the scumbag Iphilia dealt with yesterday was Uncle Wei's daughter…
It was shameful to say, judging by the time of the incident, Uncle Wei's daughter had probably been bullied before she arrived.
And she herself had interacted with them several times, yet not only did she fail to notice anything unusual at the first instance, she didn't even know about it after Uncle Wei and his family had finished their lawsuit.
In the end, it was only through Zhang Anran that she learned of its existence.
And this was also why Iphilia, having just learned of this matter in the morning, rushed over non-stop in the evening to carry out righteous execution.
She herself also felt guilty for not noticing the problem in time!
The purpose of this visit was to comfort Uncle Wei and his family as much as possible while visiting them.
After all, although she successfully helped Uncle Wei and his family take revenge, it was ultimately a bit late.
In her eyes, justice delayed could no longer be called justice.
At most, it could be called revenge.
But speaking of which, if she was going to visit someone, she couldn't possibly go empty-handed, right?
What to bring as a gift?
Thinking this, Iphilia suddenly noticed a fruit shop open nearby.
Got it!
…
“Uncle Wei, are you there? It's Iphilia! Could you open the door if it's convenient?”
The scene changed, and Iphilia was already standing in front of Uncle Wei's house, carrying a bag of fresh fruit basket.
She knocked on the door while shouting loudly towards the inside. But somewhat strangely, although Iphilia had been shouting for a while, no one came to open the door, nor did anyone respond to her.
“Mmm? Not home? That shouldn't be…”
Iphilia tilted her head in confusion. She remembered that Uncle Wei and his family should have been home from work by this time.
She had never found the house empty when she came on weekdays.
But if Uncle Wei and his family were there, they should have opened the door for her long ago; it was absolutely impossible for them to keep her waiting for so long.
Thinking this, Iphilia leaned closer to the door again and rang the doorbell twice more, but still, no one responded.
Suddenly, Iphilia's little nose twitched.
Her brows furrowed slightly, and she leaned closer to the door to sniff again.
It seems, there's some strange smell…
The next moment, Iphilia's expression changed drastically. Even the fruit basket she was carrying in her hand fell to the ground due to fright.
It's the smell of blood!!!
