Sylvia, who had her Projection Stone snatched away so suddenly, looked rather indignant, which was only natural.
After all, the elven girl had already sensed it earlier—that footstep… it didn’t seem at all like an accident that it stepped on her hand; in fact, it was…
Deliberate, wasn’t it!
Not to mention, right at the start she’d felt a subtle pull, as if her wrist had been drawn into the fitting room by itself. Wasn’t that just way too obvious?
Mm…
But, thinking about it this way, Sylvia immediately became a bit more wary of Lynn. After all, the magic he’d just used was definitely not something an ordinary person could wield.
“Ah, so it was yours, Miss Elf, hmm… But why did this thing end up in the fitting room? You didn’t even go inside, did you… Well, never mind, details aren’t important.”
“Since it ended up in the fitting room, for safety’s sake, I’d better check what was recorded on it…”
“Hiss… No, no, no—!”
Seeing Lynn and Sylvia locked in a standoff, Layla quickly waved her hand, then grabbed Sylvia’s collar and hurriedly said:
“No, that’s not it! Sylvia, are you remembering it wrong? This Projection Stone wasn’t brought by us, okay! It has nothing to do with us, nothing at all!”
“Um… Also, I suggest you hand over all those boring, paparazzi-style candid videos of people or props to me, and I’ll delete them for you. There’s really nothing worth watching!”
Saying this, Layla tried to snatch the Projection Stone from Lynn’s hand, but the lord governor slipped away in a flash, dodging easily and holding the Projection Stone firmly in his hand.
“Hmph… Well, then~ No need to trouble yourself, Miss Layla~!”
Looking at the flustered Layla in front of him, then glancing back at the silver-haired beauty, Lynn saw that Kitty didn’t seem to intend to blame her former teammates, so he smiled, activated his magic, and the Projection Stone instantly shattered with a “bang—”, dissolving into magic crystals that drifted away in all directions.
Crack.
Ah, all those hard-won photos!
Even though it was her own suggestion, Layla had only wanted to keep Sylvia from being exposed. Besides, what she really wanted was to have the Projection Stone herself!
But now, Lynn had just destroyed the evidence! That was the most important thing—the most direct proof to show Kitty she’d been deceived by that vile woman!
Without it… then wasn’t all her effort just now wasted?
The purple-haired Jellyfish-Haired Elder Sister stared at Lynn in frustration, feeling thoroughly vexed, but the lord governor ignored her.
Having succeeded in petrifying the two besties, he turned and headed back into the fitting room.
Then, crouching down, he gently patted the silver-haired beauty still lying on the floor, and spoke softly and kindly:
“Alright, it’s getting late. I’ll take you back to the dorm. As for all these things we bought today, I’ll have someone deliver them tomorrow. We’ll talk about how to handle things when we get back to the dorm, alright? Oh, and here, take this…”
As he spoke, Lynn flashed a mischievous grin and pulled out another Projection Stone, handing it to Kitty.
The silver-haired beauty’s face flushed instantly, and she knew in her heart that this must be the one that had been used last night by her nemesis to film her…
Mm, who would’ve thought this guy actually kept his word. Well, alright, at least all the humiliation she’d suffered today hadn’t been in vain. She’d finally… finally gotten rid of the leverage her nemesis had over her!
Thinking this, Kitty immediately crushed the Projection Stone. Having thoroughly destroyed it, she let out a yawn, then looked up as Lynn stood and reached out a hand, clearly wanting to leave together with her.
But…
“I… I can’t stand up, ugh~”
The silver-haired beauty, her cheeks flushed, looked at her nemesis in exasperation and complained, “Help… help me, even now my little drum still hurts so much, and after what just happened, my thighs won’t stop shaking!”
“Pfft, honestly… there’s just no helping you~”
For a long moment, with her thighs still weak and trembling, the silver-haired beauty and Lynn slowly left the shopping mall.
As for the two remaining girls, Layla and Sylvia, of course they couldn’t just linger there forever, so they followed along as well…
Watching the two of them walk away, the priestess let out a helpless sigh, while the elven girl stayed silent, though it was obvious she was also feeling down.
What a huge failure, a complete failure… Not only did they not find any evidence, that white-haired little minx was spirited away by her dog of a teacher… They didn’t even get to ask Kitty where she was staying.
Still, you can run, but you can’t hide. As long as Kitty keeps working at the Magic Academy, the purple-haired Jellyfish-Haired Elder Sister would have no trouble tracking her down.
For tonight, it would have to end here.
“Te… teacher, how… how could this happen?! Ha… ha~!”
Just as Layla was bracing herself to return empty-handed tonight, suddenly, from a roadside thicket, a young boy’s heavy breathing could be heard…
The priestess immediately frowned and quietly walked toward the source of the sound.
Very soon, she locked onto a young boy, about fifteen or sixteen years old—a blond youth. Hey… that guy seemed to be a student from Lulu’s class, right?
Layla remembered he’d even asked Kitty a question in class today.
Indeed, right now, the boy crouched in the bushes, never having shown himself, but who’d followed Kitty nearly the whole evening, was none other than Little Master Ximon.
At this very moment, he was glaring jealously at Kitty, who was walking side by side with Lynn, his heart seething with jealousy.
Ugh… how could this happen? Kitty, Teacher Kitty always dressed so conservatively in front of them—so why, tonight, would she go on a date with Teacher Lynn, and… and wear something so provocative!
Huff… huff…
Though his heart was full of dissatisfaction, his eyes couldn’t tear themselves away from Kitty’s figure.
Even as the silver-haired beauty walked farther and farther away, even as she boarded a carriage, he couldn’t follow her anymore. But… but…
Somehow, he felt that Kitty’s allure was even stronger now!
“Ugh… Why, why is it, Teacher isn’t like this in front of me!”
Ximon hammered his chest in frustration, crying out, while Layla, who’d been quietly observing with a smile, now saw right through this young master’s feelings.
After a moment, she suddenly leaned in and deliberately whispered in his ear:
“Because, your teacher’s got some sharp corners tonight~”
“Eh… eeh? No, no, no… Who are you? Where did you pop out from!”
The sudden appearance of the priestess startled Ximon badly.
For a long moment, he took a deep, disbelieving breath, and then, his voice trembling, he shouted, “How could… how could Teacher Kitty have sharp corners!”
“I’m Miss Lulu’s best friend, of course I know… Hey… wait, wait a second! Who did you just say?!”
