There was no sound coming from the door.
Keti, who had received no response, blinked her sleepy eyes in confusion. At such an early hour, suddenly being woken by a knock on the door—she still had to go to work today.
Ah—
This was really—
The silver-haired beauty let out a huge yawn, and immediately felt a bit of morning grumpiness stirring within her.
Though still drowsy, Keti wasn’t sure exactly what time it was, but judging by how she felt half-asleep like this, it was definitely a nuisance!
Who on earth could it be?
The first person to come to mind was Lynn, that guy. Ugh… If her mortal enemy really had the nerve to disturb her sleep so early, she’d definitely unleash her little pink fists and pummel him into oblivion, haha!
Even though she hadn’t opened the door yet, Keti had already mentally given her nemesis a thorough scolding at least ten thousand times. But… ahem, maybe she shouldn’t jump to conclusions.
Which rich second-generation heir actually wakes up this early? Especially that guy who always tries to get her to take his place at work. Keti refused to believe he could be up and about so early.
So… it probably wasn’t the nemesis, right? Then who could it be? Uh—
Suddenly, the silver-haired girl recalled last night… No, better not think about what happened in the fitting room. Keti remembered she and her nemesis had gone on a big shopping spree at the chain mall.
There were so many items that they definitely couldn’t have carried them all home last night. Besides, there were a lot of bulky things.
So the nemesis probably only took the few decent outfits he picked out for himself and paid the mall to deliver the rest.
The delivery should have arrived by now, right?
Have door-to-door services become this competitive? Uh… This early delivery is really disturbing her rest. The silver-haired beauty wasn’t sure whether to be annoyed or impressed.
Oh well, if it came later she’d have to go out for class anyway, so earlier is better—it saves her from worrying.
After mulling this over, Keti yawned again. After the fun last night in the JK outfit, and after the nemesis left… some time passed, and she changed out of it!
Ahem… now the girl was dressed in an ordinary shirt and pants, which wasn’t inappropriate at all.
Lazily stepping off the bed, she stretched, slipped on her slippers, and trudged drowsily to the door. The silver-haired girl muttered without much thought, “Who is it~?”
Then she pulled open the door.
“Delivery, right? Come in. Lynn should have told you last night to move everything inside and arrange it properly. The payment’s already done… hiss—”
Creak—
No, something wasn’t right!
Keti, still rubbing her sleepy eyes, had just finished her sentence when a sudden wave of panic jolted her pupils.
The two graceful figures standing at the door were nowhere near delivery workers.
They were… they were—
Why was it Layla and Sylvia?!
The silver-haired girl gasped sharply, instinctively wanting to slam the door shut.
But before she could, the sullen-faced Sylvia was even more ruthless—grabbing the doorframe with her bare hands as Keti was halfway through closing it.
Then…
With sheer force, she pried the door wide open!
Help… help me—!
Watching this terrifying scene unfold, Keti’s mouth twitched involuntarily, and she instinctively stumbled backward, her body trembling uncontrollably.
It was mainly because those two former teammates at the door looked at her with a complicated expression.
This… this must be the legendary… Dangerous Aura! Boo—
This was bad, really bad. Although Keti had always said her nemesis was committing Illegal Entry, at least when he came in, she hadn’t felt her life was in danger—at worst, her purity might be at risk. But now…
Facing the two former teammates barging in, the girl felt like she was going to die right here today.
Hiss—
“No, no, no, what do you two want? I already said I couldn’t reach Keti! Don’t barge in on your own like this. This is my room, and it’s on school grounds, hey! I warn you, don’t do anything reckless, boo~”
Desperately waving her hands, Keti looked like an incapable husband who couldn’t stop his wife—utterly powerless to block them.
The moment the two girls stepped inside, they immediately began rifling through everything: opening the wardrobe, peeking under the bed, even checking inside the toilet bowl!
N-no… that last one was just ridiculous! Could she really squeeze inside a toilet? This… this…
What on earth were they doing?!
After a thunderous ransacking, Keti sat helplessly on the bed, gazing at the two reunited girls, then sighed deeply…
Layla wiped the sweat off her brow with a furrowed brow, then sighed disappointedly as she glanced at Sylvia, muttering quietly:
“Still no sign of Keti… what about your side?”
“Also… none…”
The elf girl shook her head gloomily, then silently lowered her gaze. The two girls simultaneously turned to look at Keti, who was clutching a pillow on the bed.
The silver-haired girl finally breathed a sigh of relief. Thank goodness, thank goodness.
So her two former teammates were just here to search the place, looking for her. Ha, how could they possibly find anything?
For a moment, Keti had thought her identity was exposed and nearly scared herself to death.
Moments later, the silver-haired girl flashed a confident smile, wiggled her snow-white little foot, and proudly said:
“See? I told you I have no idea where Keti’s gone. There’s no way she’d come here. This is the girls’ dorm, after all~”
Originally, Keti thought that after saying this, she could scare Layla and Sylvia off with the threat of Illegal Entry.
But after a while, the two girls remained perfectly still, staring at her. Their expressions were actually much gentler than before.
After a long pause, Layla sighed first.
Looking at her like that… it really was just like the Keti she remembered. Whether it was the tone or that proud, cute expression.
The purple-haired elder sister’s heart began to waver, especially since she had been up all night last night worrying over this matter, and now the tight grip on her emotions seemed impossible to suppress any longer.
Why, why did it have to be this way?
Last night she had forced herself to believe that Keti definitely wasn’t that white-haired little Abyss. She firmly believed that Keti would never turn into a girl. It was all just her overthinking…
