The silver-haired beauty bit her lip in frustration, feeling a sting of betrayal. Just moments ago, she had been touched, thinking that although her deadlock rival had gone a bit too far yesterday, at least he was willing to spend money to comfort her. That seemed… somewhat nice.
But… as expected, it was all a trap! Ugh…
She had said it herself—there was no way her deadlock rival could be so kind-hearted! Now that she thought about it, the excuses he gave earlier were ridiculous nonsense.
“Because you like kittens, that’s why you made me meow,” and so on…
What kind of absurd reason was that? Who—who would believe such a thing?
Guh… she must have been out of her mind to believe such a ridiculous excuse. Looking back, it was clear—he was just a catboy at heart!
He was deliberately bullying her, humiliating her, taking revenge, and wanting to see her ashamed expression!
“Pet Discipline Play,” “Patronage Plot,” all that nonsense—no, no way, she absolutely wouldn’t accept any of that!
Cough cough… but…
Looking at her deadlock rival smirking confidently over there, Keti pouted, feeling a little conflicted inside.
Cough cough, of course… I definitely can’t accept being patronized by him!
After all, taking that money means she’d have to be trained or disciplined by her enemy in the future.
Ugh, that’s way too humiliating!
But, but…
Well, how to put it…
Her silver eyes kept glancing back and forth at the Ten Thousand Dinar held in her rival’s hand. After a moment, she couldn’t help but feel a little tempted.
Ten Thousand Dinar… that’s a lot of money!
I want it!
More importantly, that money had once passed through her own hands.
It was her money—her own!
If her rival didn’t give it back, it felt like she’d lost ten thousand Dinar.
That was a fate worse than death!
After pondering, the girl felt frustrated. If she hadn’t said those borderline remarks from the start, would her rival have even remembered this matter?
Her money~!
So… how to get the money back?
After a brief moment of thought, her gaze shifted to another object already in her hand—the small bell.
Eh… right, the bell?!
Her thoughts suddenly opened up because of this item she had gotten from her deadlock rival.
Yes, she remembered—this was called the Amnesia Bell, wasn’t it? Lynn had told her before that if she shook this bell in front of someone, it could erase a certain obsession that person had about her.
Originally, she had planned to use it on some Student Parent, but now seemed like the perfect opportunity to try out the new tool.
Hehe~
Feeling a bit impressed with her own cleverness, the silver-haired girl immediately reached out and silently snatched the Ten Thousand Dinar from her rival’s hand.
Lynn gave a mischievous smile, thinking the girl had already succumbed to the temptation of money and agreed. So he reached out, gently lifted her chin, and teased:
“Then this means you’ve agreed to accept my patronage, little kitty~ Can I understand it that way?”
The silver-haired girl blushed but looked serious. Everyone expected her to shyly deny it, but to everyone’s surprise…
***
The next moment!
Keti suddenly raised the bell she had been clutching tightly, a sly smile creeping across her lips as she instantly rang it vigorously right in front of her rival.
Come!
“Heh heh heh~ Look at this bell in my hand—ring ring ring~ You’re getting very sleepy, very sleepy, about to lose consciousness~?”
Faced with this sudden move, Lynn was stunned for a moment, but soon his eyes truly glazed over.
Keti excitedly took a deep breath.
N-nice! It works!
Looks like she really was a genius—figuring out how to use this thing on her very first try. Cough cough cough… Maybe all those little hypnotic novels she had read had some use after all~
Heheh~
Her deadlock rival was now completely under her control, pfft pfft pfft—
Thinking this, the silver-haired girl excitedly wiggled her feet, then hurriedly used the time to divide the Ten Thousand Dinar she had taken into several portions, hiding them in various secret spots throughout her dormitory!
Cough cough… after finishing this most important task, Keti sat back on her bed. Looking at Lynn’s dazed expression, she swallowed—
Ah, no!
Cough cough, swallow nothing, she was just thirsty!
Besides, even if she wanted to take revenge and treat her rival harshly for what he did to her last night, this didn’t match how Lynn had explained the bell’s effect.
It only erased one of Lynn’s obsessions about her. So obviously… it would erase his twisted obsession!
That way, not only would she get the money, but Lynn wouldn’t think about patronizing her or bullying her anymore!
Heheh, from now on, he’d just be a simple good brother, someone she could turn to when in trouble, without worrying about him trying to get back at her!
Was there ever such a win-win situation?!
Gulp gulp gulp~
She was truly a genius, heheh~
Feeling proud, Keti shook the bell at her deadlock rival again, then whispered close to him:
“Umm… Pervert, big pervert! Erase all your weird, perverted homo thoughts about me! No more wanting to patronize me, bully me, or take revenge! Erase it all, meow—!”
Cough cough cough…
Thanks to what happened last night, the girl had developed some strange verbal tics, and her face flushed a bit at the end, but that wasn’t important…
The next step was crucial—to test whether her rival still had any obsession toward her!
Keti put down the bell and… not knowing how to end the hypnosis, simply snapped her fingers!
Who would have thought, that worked too!
Lynn quietly came back to his senses and blinked at Keti in confusion. The silver-haired girl’s heart raced nervously.
After a moment, she gathered courage and tentatively asked:
“Lynn, why did you fall asleep~ Cough cough… well, I’m taking the Ten Thousand Dinar now, okay? You… you won’t want to patronize me just because I took the money, right~?”
“What are you talking about!”
Lynn immediately frowned and said firmly, scaring Keti so much she gulped, quickly waving her hands, then lifted the pillow to pull out the money she had hidden.
“Don’t, don’t, don’t scold me meow! I-I-I’ll give you the money back, okay?”
“No… that’s not what I meant…”
