Chapter 48 : Thunder

Today was Monday, and she had to spend the entire day at school.

Luo Shiyun could only wait until nightfall to go find her wife for some close time.

When the school bell rang, she didn’t look back as she grabbed her bag and headed toward the relatively empty back door of the classroom.

It had been eight whole hours since she last touched her Big White Rabbit—she was miserable.

If she could, she wished she could transform into a Red Spider Lily right now and fly straight to the bar. Not a single minute was to be wasted.

But she hadn’t even left the classroom when that annoying golden retriever blocked her path.

“Hey!”

“Luo Shiyun, your days of causing trouble are over!”

“Oh.”

The girl only gave Alice a silent glance, then looked at the wall beside her, as if asking if she wanted to go home again.

Just that simple little movement made the cute foreign girl shiver, but Alice still forced herself to be brave.

For the family’s honor and her junior’s request, she couldn’t lose face!!

“Hmph, you’re in such a hurry, you must be going to see the maid, right?”

“But I have to tell you, there’s no way now, because that junior, Liu, asked me to find… someone?!”

Before she could finish speaking, the white-haired cold-faced girl was already nowhere to be seen.

Only after a classmate quietly reminded her did she realize that Luo Shiyun had already sneaked out through the classroom’s front door.

“Hey, don’t run, stop right there!”

Hah, just a little trick like this and you think you can stop her from going to cuddle her wife?

Dream on.

But just as she stepped out the classroom door, a figure blocked her again.

Hmm? More help?

The girl furrowed her brows, but relaxed again after seeing the face.

“Liu Yuhan…?”

This girl was one of her juniors, quite outstanding—her name often appeared at the top of the grade rankings.

She had a gentle and virtuous personality and was quite popular among the students of the Twilight Glow.

After Luo Shiyun stepped down as student council president, she had taken over the role.

In short, a good kid.

Her thunder scale was impressive, but compared to her beloved wife, it was still far from enough.

“L-Luo Senior!”

“I have something I want to ask of you… is that okay…?”

The girl pursed her lips, her eyes slightly swollen and red around the edges, tears glistening pitifully.

Anyone else might have softened, but who was Luo Shiyun?

An excellent energy-saving expert.

“No.”

No matter how big the sky or earth was, none of it compared to the importance of Big White Rabbit, the wife.

Even if the sky fell, nothing could stop her from going to the bar to cozy up to Yijinmo.

Just as she was about to walk around her, someone grabbed her wrist.

“Luo Senior… you’re the only one who can help me now!”

“No thanks.”

She ruthlessly pulled her hand away, not wanting to continue the argument.

Just as she was about to leave decisively, her phone rang.

Taking it out from beneath her skirt and looking at the caller ID, Luo Shiyun felt her mood lift a little.

Her wife was calling!

This was the first time… she had to remember it well.

“Hello, my wife, what’s up? I’m just about to come find you~”

Alice, who had just caught up, heard how this cold-faced girl could put so much softness into her voice, and goosebumps immediately popped up.

“Miss Luo… what’s with your voice?”

“Ahem, nothing.”

Covering the awkwardness with a couple of coughs, Luo Shiyun quickly switched back to her usual tone.

“I called to say I have something to do tonight, so I’m taking leave. Sorry, I can’t be with you.”

“Leave? Are you sick? I’m coming to see you right now!”

“No, it’s not an illness, just a private matter I can’t get out of.”

“I see… then I’ll come find you now.”

“That’s not possible.”

“…Why… doesn’t my wife want to see me…?”

The girl’s tone instantly turned pitiful, like a little dog about to be abandoned by its owner.

“Of course I want to see you, Miss Luo, but tonight really isn’t possible. How about this—tomorrow! Tomorrow night I’ll come straight to your house, how’s that?”

“Wait till tomorrow again… then can you tell me what it is?”

“I can only say it’s private… not convenient to tell you.”

“Ah, alright then, I’ve got a little trouble here. Miss Luo, see you tomorrow night?”

“Good night!”

Beep beep beep—

The call ended, and Luo Shiyun’s expression went completely dead.

She could of course guess that her wife didn’t want to see her, but was about to go cause some trouble. And the target?

Even if she guessed from the bow on Yijinmo’s pure white panties, it had to be that Thunder God Corporation.

Thunder God Corporation… fine then.

Luo Shiyun jotted it down in her little notebook, with the reason being shamelessly monopolizing her time with her wife.

“Hey, you got rejected?”

“Like a meow!!”

Faced with the golden retriever dog’s gleeful cheers beside her, Luo Shiyun had no reaction.

Knowing she wouldn’t see her wife tonight, she couldn’t summon a single bit of energy.

The devoted wife energy inside her had been completely burned out.

“Alice senior, who was the person on the phone just now?”

Liu Yuhan also moved closer to the two seniors.

“My wife!” x2

“?”

Seeing them say it in unison, Liu’s eyes showed three parts surprise, five parts confusion, and two parts frustration.

“…Are you two love rivals?”

“Yes, exactly!”

“She’s not worthy.”

The first sentence full of excitement, the second calmly delivered—who was the loser here was obvious.

After hanging up, Yijinmo turned her gaze back to the machine.

She could tell Miss Luo was very upset, but for safety’s sake, she really couldn’t involve Luo Shiyun.

The only option was to go to Luo’s house tomorrow night and apologize properly—maybe even accompany her for another bath!

After all, they were both beautiful girls, so Yijinmo wouldn’t lose out.

At this moment, the machine no longer emitted dazzling sparks.

It had calmed down, leaving only the long black-and-red blade resting on the manufacturing table.

Compared to before, the blade now bore several charred marks, and at its tip, there was a sleek lightning emblem.

Forging the blade had wasted a lot of Yijinmo’s effort, but luckily, after three years, the girl’s foundation hadn’t deteriorated much.

She picked up the long blade and swung it through the air a few times.

The sharp edge sliced through the air with a cutting sound, faint arcs of electricity flickering along it.

Indeed, it was a top-tier blade.

Yijinmo grinned.

But it was a bit too fragile. If it hit something hard, she worried it might shatter immediately.

Still, not a big problem—she was a mage, after all. What proper mage spent all day playing close combat? As long as this blade could handle her lightning output, it was enough.

“You look so cool, so I’ll give you a name.”

Waving the blade in front of her, after a few minutes searching her limited vocabulary, the girl finally decided on a name—

“Thunderclap!”

“Crackle crackle!”

Fierce electric currents sparked from the sword, striking the wall and leaving a black scorch mark.

Beautiful!
