In the corner of the café on the academy street, three young girls sat together, each harboring different thoughts.
“…Tell me exactly what’s going on.”
Luo Shiyun raised her coffee cup and took a small sip.
Hmm, it was a bit too bitter.
She still preferred it a little sweeter.
“…I want to ask Senior Luo for help finding my younger sister. She ran away from home a couple of days ago, and there’s been no news of her since.”
“Have you reported it to the police?”
“Of course, but the police officers have checked all the surveillance footage and still couldn’t find my sister…”
It had been forty-eight hours since she disappeared. In Jiangnan City, where public security was already less than ideal, it was highly likely something bad had happened.
“If she’s in trouble… I…”
Liu Yuhan’s eyes went blank, like a sapling in the wind, ready to snap at any moment.
“What’s your sister’s name?”
“Liu Yulan. She’s in Class 2, Grade 1. She looks a lot like me.”
No recollection at all.
“So, you two had a fight, and then your sister ran away and lost contact with you, right?”
“Yes…”
“Why did you argue?”
“Because… because…”
Faced with this topic, Liu Yuhan seemed reluctant to speak.
“Ah, it’s normal for sisters to fight, right? I often have conflicts with my sisters too.”
“I didn’t ask you.”
Alice arrogantly crossed her legs, resting one hand on the table, occasionally butting into their conversation.
The only reason Luo Shiyun agreed to help Liu Yuhan was because earlier…
“I didn’t expect there to be this kind of relationship between the two seniors…”
“No, she’s nothing to me.”
Outside the classroom, in the hallway, the white-haired girl just wanted to quickly distance herself from the person before her, but the golden-haired big dog wouldn’t let go.
“We’re rivals, don’t think you can ignore me! Besides, you and Miss Yijia aren’t even officially together yet. Whether legally or physically, I still have a chance!”
“You!”
“Isn’t that right? Someone didn’t even know you’re supposed to date before getting married. How could the beautiful Miss Yijia possibly fall for such an emotional dunce!”
Seeing Luo Shiyun so speechless she couldn’t even retort made Alice extremely pleased.
Ugh, disgusting!
Luo Shiyun remained silent for a moment, then fixed her gaze on Alice until Alice started to feel a bit nervous.
“W-what… you want to fight? I’m telling you, although your Dongzhou martial arts are strong, my free fighting skills aren’t bad either. I’d rather go back into my shell than lose!”
“…You’re right.”
“I haven’t officially become her girlfriend yet.”
“But I will work hard for it!”
This person really was determined…
But Alice still had a trump card!
“Just trying hard won’t cut it. You’re an emotional idiot; there’s no way you can win Miss Yijia’s heart!”
In terms of romance, sweet talk, and cleverness, Alice believed she could easily outmatch this cold white-haired girl.
What else can Luo Shiyun do besides studying and fighting!
Besides, Alice had a unique advantage — her true identity was the super pure, kind, and adorable yellow-haired magical girl Kou Ya!
Her reputation and status were unbeatable.
And Luo Shiyun?
This brute freak a magical girl?
No way, sister. She’d sooner believe Luo Shiyun was a weirdo than accept that this cold-faced girl who could silence a crying little girl with just a glare was a beautiful magical girl.
Faced with the rival’s provocation, Luo Shiyun’s expression grew serious.
Alice was right; she really lacked in those areas and had no chance against certain vixens.
“Don’t say that… Senior Luo is just more honest and straightforward in personality.”
Liu Yuhan tried to separate the two and spoke kindly.
She was very skilled in socializing and perceptive to subtle cues, so she sensed her opportunity had come.
“If it’s about dating, many skills can be learned and improved through practice.”
“For example…”
But before she could say more, the clever Senior Luo jumped right into her rhythm.
“Junior Liu, I know you’re good at this, so I want to ask you to teach me.”
“How to completely defeat this loser in romance!”
“Who are you calling a loser!”
In short, it was absurdly simple — Senior Luo agreed to help, and in return, she needed help pursuing a certain…
Barmaid rumored to be quite a handful?
“This is my home address. After Yulan left… I was too angry at the time, so I didn’t chase after her right away.”
Back to the present, Luo Shiyun and Alice leaned over to take a look.
The Liu sisters’ home was in an upscale residential area near a bustling commercial district with convenient transportation. If Liu Yulan had run away, her options were quite extensive.
“I have a question!”
Alice raised her hand to ask. “I’ve been wondering since the start, why did you ask this kind of person for help?”
“The police couldn’t find her; will asking Luo Shiyun really help?”
“It will!”
“Because Senior Luo is very capable!”
Liu Yuhan wasn’t an ordinary person either. She had long ago learned from the school about the white-haired girl’s unique status.
Even among the talented students of Late Glow Academy, she was truly one of a kind.
Problems that seemed extremely difficult to ordinary people could easily be solved just by asking someone like Luo Shiyun to pull some strings.
“That’s true.”
Any compliment that surpassed this golden-haired loser was gladly accepted by Luo Shiyun.
Looking for a lost girl was nothing — she’d transform into the Other Shore Flower and search the whole city if needed.
“Leave it to me. Within three days, I’ll definitely bring your sister back.”
Though whether she’d still be alive was another matter.
“Thank you so much, Senior Luo!”
Neither of them noticed whether their methods of searching were actually different.
“Hey, hey, did you even ask for my opinion?”
Hearing the two of them acting like an alliance, Alice got anxious, finishing her coffee in one gulp before standing arrogantly with her hands on the table.
“Your opinion doesn’t matter.”
“Don’t say that! I’m also going to help Junior Liu!”
“You…?”
“How exactly will you help?”
Luo Shiyun couldn’t see what outstanding skills this blonde foreign girl had to help Liu find her sister.
A thunderous reputation?
Not as big as hers.
What was there to be so cocky about?
“Don’t underestimate me! I, Alice, will definitely find Sister Yulan before you!”
“Then Junior Liu won’t help you pursue Miss Yijia!”
“Hey hey, how did this suddenly become a bet?”
“Deal. But if you lose, you have to admit to everyone you’re a loser!”
Though standing between them, Liu Yuhan’s expression had already become quite helpless.
The relationship between these two seniors really was like fire and water.
