Chapter 85 : The Girls' Gathering
Elucia's movements were swift and decisive. While embracing Lonis tightly, she also "pinched" near her chest.
This action stunned everyone present, especially Lonis... Although she felt extremely ashamed at this moment, she didn't dare make any resistant movements.
(I'm a grown man, so why are you all playing with me like a toy? Uwah... Damn it!)
......
Seeing Elucia's action, Zhou Mixue also frowned and said with apparent dissatisfaction: "Oh? Student Elucia, haven't you heard that newcomers to school should show more respect to their seniors?"
"Well then, Senior Zhou Mixue, don't you think that when facing newly enrolled juniors, one should at least appear gentle and kind?"
Elucia also raised her head, looking back at the senior defiantly.
Crackle, crackle!
Electric sparks seemed to flash between the two girls' gazes, neither yielding to the other.
This really scared Zhou Suling. She was the one who wanted to hold the welcome party, and if it got ruined, that would be terrible.
So Suling quickly ran to her sister's side and said: "Sister, don't make trouble anymore. If it were other girls, that would be one thing, but Lonis is Student Elucia's personal maid!"
"Personal... maid? Is that some kind of title from your shop?"
"She's a real maid. Lonis came to school together with Miss Elucia, and through her efforts, she also got accepted into the school. She's really amazing."
"A real maid..."
Zhou Mixue looked Lonis up and down, and after a while, murmured:
"No wonder she has such an obedient and well-behaved aura. She looks a bit silly—it really makes you want to bully her."
"Uh?!"
"Really, sister! Lonis isn't silly at all. Quickly apologize to Student Lonis!"
Although there was a small commotion, everyone eventually entered the private room with a harmonious atmosphere.
The restaurant's decor wasn't much different from what Lonis remembered—neat and square wooden houses, except there were no QR codes or computers at the counter. Everything looked warm and comfortable.
However, after entering the private room, Lonis was still stunned.
Because inside the cabinets in the private room, there were actually many slimes!
These soft creatures were bouncing around lively in the cabinets... When they saw Lonis enter, a short-haired girl also stood up and greeted: "Lonis, Zhou Suling, you're here!"
"Ah, we're here!"
Lonis blinked and recognized this short-haired girl as also a colleague from the maid shop.
Her name was Luozhi Sheng. Although she didn't have long hair, she was popular with female customers because her daily service was very refreshing and efficient.
At the same time, Luozhi Sheng was also a student at Clear Academy. Her major was biological magic, and her grades were said to be excellent.
......
"Haha, good that you're here. I was just struggling over what to eat tonight. Should we have hot pot buffet or barbecue buffet?"
"Why not order both? I think neither Lonis nor Student Elucia has eaten at this restaurant before, right?"
Zhou Suling took the menu and used a pencil to check off dishes like "Rock-grilled Slime," "Cumin Snails," and "Premium Wagyu."
This made Zhou Mixue frown and ask: "Sister, can you afford it? I remember your salary isn't much, right?"
"Of course it's not much, so sister will pay for this meal."
"Ah what?"
"Who told you to do such excessive things to me at the entrance and bully the newly enrolled junior! Tonight you'll treat us, which can also serve as an apology to Students Elucia and Lonis."
"This..."
Zhou Mixue's eyes widened, seemingly not expecting to be outmaneuvered by her sister at this moment.
"If you don't treat us, I'll tell the teacher about this."
"Fine, hmph. Isn't it just treating cute little juniors? I'm happy to do it~"
"Oh, then I'll order a few more dishes. Lonis, do you want to eat golden roast suckling pig?"
"Golden roast suckling pig..."
"Yes, it's the signature dish here. Crispy outside and tender inside, very delicious. It's just..."
"Don't order anymore, don't order anymore! My wallet will be empty!!!!"
......
......
And so, the party celebrating Lonis and Elucia's enrollment officially began~
Because she knew Lonis was somewhat afraid of males, Zhou Suling invited only female participants—either colleagues from the coffee shop or senior students who frequently visited the shop.
So they were all acquaintances, and there was nothing to be shy about among them.
However, perhaps because Lonis was too cute, plus the recent series of "maid training" and "posture training" had made this girl's feminine charm almost overflow.
While eating, almost everyone was watching Lonis with great interest.
Their gazes seemed to suggest that the silver-haired girl looked more delicious than the beef in the pot.
"Student Lonis, don't rush, eat slowly."
"Th... thank you!"
"I heard you only studied for a while and got into Clear Academy. That's really amazing."
"That... it's all thanks to Sister Elucia..."
Lonis blinked and looked at her master beside her.
Although this black-haired girl's beauty was in no way inferior to Lonis's... perhaps because Elucia's expression was too "aloof," everyone was just curious about Elucia but didn't dare to look at her so freely.
It wasn't until the first plate of beef was almost completely devoured by everyone that Zhou Mixue curiously asked:
"What's wrong? Isn't Junior Elucia eating? I see you don't seem interested in the beef."
"It's not that I'm not interested, but compared to beef... I'm more interested in the seniors."
"Eh?!"
Elucia's words startled the girls in the room.
Luozhi Sheng was eating slime rice cakes when she heard Elucia say this, and was so shocked she almost choked, unable to catch her breath: "Junior Elucia, you... you mean..."
"Yes, I'm very curious about all the seniors' lives. How should academy life be spent? After all, Lonis and I are both freshmen and unfamiliar with this school."
"Oh..."
The girls all breathed a sigh of relief. They thought the new junior was so bold, wanting to develop younger-attacking scenarios right after enrollment.
Although Clear Magic Academy also had male students, historically it was a girls' school... and the yuri atmosphere in the school was traditional, with frequent confessions between same-sex couples.
"Haha, then junior, what would you like to know?"
"Well, seniors, when you're dating, where do you usually go~"
Elucia smiled "innocently" and asked this question.
