Chapter 345

"Okay, I understand. Please stop using your strength to toy with my body."

Caren peered through the gap in the tent flap with her alluring eyes, like a timid rabbit.

"I've given up on taking you home to torment me. This is my last wish. Ivia, can you let Caren Ortensia say something?"

"Desire?"

Ivia turned around with interest. "Tell me about it."

"That will do, please—"

Caren paused for a moment, then squinted and licked her lips before continuing.

"As my first love, whom I fell in love with at first sight, please torture me here as you please."

There was no need to say anything more. The next second, Caren was thrown back into the water. After escaping again, she found herself in her own Bathroom, but none of that mattered to Caren. After quickly tidying herself up, she ran back over.

Simply put, it's about relentless pursuit.

Basically, the fact that she was willing to transform into a 'Demon' and that Ivia was full of incomprehensible things were things that should have made Caren treat with caution. However, since she really liked it, she didn't find it troublesome or bothersome.

In the following days, Caren didn't even see Ivia once. Whenever she came near, she would be thrown back into the water Future open her tent. This became Caren's daily routine. If it weren't for the fact that it was still a holiday, Caren's job as a health care Teacher wouldn't have been affected.

On another day, Caren, wearing a classic white coat and with her hands in her pockets, began to shout again.

"Why doesn't Xiao Yi see me? I understand now, it's because Ivia is afraid of falling in love with me! Right? You don't want any emotional connection with me because you don't know what love is, you're afraid to step into the unknown, or perhaps it's because you would warmly care for anyone, even if they were incompetent!"

As always, there was no reply.

This is a bit of a problem. The Third Term is about to start, and there will be less time. I won't be able to come for all sixteen hours at a time anymore. Although I'm prepared, I don't know if they'll accept it...

She muttered this to herself and then blinked.

"Ivia, you're now my younger brother. I've arranged for you to start working at the school. As the school Teacher, I'm quite 'well-behaved' there. You can come if you want, or it's fine if you don't, but I'll still come. Also, here's my schedule at school. Take a good look. I won't give you a single minute of freedom. You'd better be prepared, Ivia?"

After saying that, she placed the photocopied document on the ground, and Caren, quite normally, didn't pounce on him like before, but went home.

Ivia, who was inside the tent, didn't need to go out; she merely glanced at the document before flying in.

A Day in the Life of a School Teacher at the Homurahara Academy (Caren Ortensia Made Just for You):

I woke up at 7 a. m. dreaming about Ivia and spent ten minutes imagining Ivia brushing my teeth for me.

At 7:30, I ate breakfast thinking about having Ivia with me; at 8:10, I went to school thinking about Ivia's health.

From 8:30 to 11:30, I spent the entire morning in the Nurse’s Office thinking about Ivia's scent. From 11:30 to 12:30, I ate lunch thinking about having Ivia with me (if she didn't come to school, I would go to the park to visit her?). The afternoon was the same as the morning until school ended.

For more details, please consult with Teacher. Caren in person. She will explain it to you personally.

As punishment for not seeing me, I'll think about inviting Ivia to a picnic ten minutes before bed, taking her to the banks of Russia river in winter, so she can truly experience the chill in my heart and body I've been feeling these past few days. But wouldn't alternating between hot and cold be a wonderful thing?

Caren's obvious thoughts were written directly on the paper, but Ivia didn't care much about it; she simply brought it in and burned it.

However, Caren's suggestion that he attend the Elementary School Division Homurahara Academy still bothered him somewhat.

He hadn't originally intended to do that, since if he really wanted to, he could easily get an identity by going to find the Kischur Zelretch Schweinorg was slacking off here.

Actually, after Ivia left the other world, she should have returned to the world where she dealt with the 'Wish Terminal' before returning to Chaldea. However, for some reason she couldn't explain, Ivia unconsciously ended up in another world, which is here.

From a global perspective, he has been away from Miyu Satsuki for five years, but for Ivia, it has only been a few days.

After thinking for a moment, Ivia spoke as if it were the most natural thing in the world.

"I'm bored anyway before I see Ritsuka, so going to check her out isn't a bad idea. After all, who's interested in kids? Except, of course, for me now that I've recovered..."

The next morning, it was still snowing.

Fine, white snowflakes drifted down from the low, gray sky.

Snowfall is not a special thing in this town during winter, let alone now that the New Year has just passed.

The people emerging from the station in scattered numbers, and those walking along the path leading from the station to the shopping street, all moved quickly, as if it were an everyday occurrence.

But on the other side, on a deserted road, a silver-haired girl with a schoolbag on her back, her scarf pulled up above her nose, her hands in her pockets, and her body hunched over, was running alone on a snow-covered path—or rather, a path where few people passed by.

If you listen carefully, you can even hear her talking as she runs.

"I'm going to be late! I'm going to be late! I'm going to be late..."

This was the first time Ilya had woken up late because she watched Magical Girl DVD. In the past, she would go out with her brother and meet up with friends on the way.

Walking this road is so fast... but it's a bit boring. There's no brother or Tatsuko to chat with. It's all Leysritt's fault for taking up all my time, preventing me from finishing the first half. I had to secretly stay up all night to finish it...

Thinking this, Ilya looked up at the clock by the roadside, which pointed to 8:15.

This made Ilya think that was about enough; once she passed the park ahead, she could finally relax and leave.

"Ah!"

Just as Ilya was about to stop, a figure suddenly appeared in front of her, walking out of the park. Although it was slow, it seemed to her like a bolt of lightning that entered her field of vision.

Why would anyone be walking out of the park so early in the morning?

Because her body didn't have time to react, the girl felt herself lose control and crash into it. The instantaneous impact jolted her back to reality, her mind went blank, and her heart pounded like a drum in her chest.

When he came to his senses, he realized he had fallen down...

Strange, why did I fall down as if I had been hit after bumping into someone?

"I'm so sorry! I'm so sorry!"

Realizing she had indeed made a mistake, she caught a glimpse of long silver hair falling on her face out of the corner of her eye. Instantly, a wave of shyness washed over her, and after hastily uttering her apology, she ran back towards the school without looking back.

Now in the Third Term, students who have just finished their New Year holiday have endless topics to discuss.

"Oh no, I can't finish my homework!"

"The security guard said that the Bodhi Tree in the school, which is hundreds of years old, is finally showing signs of blooming..."

"Teacher Taiga is going to complain to us again. Honestly, can't she complain to her friends? We're just kids."

"Ugh, every time I hear complaints, I really want to transfer schools."

When Ilya's friends noticed Ilya unusual behavior today, they all gathered around to check on her.

"Hey, Ilya, why are you all sweaty today?"

"Yeah, yeah, and we didn't see you on the street today, even though we saw your brother."

"Oh dear, could it be that some conflict has arisen between the siblings?"

No, Suzuka.

Ilya turned her head slightly and said with a smile, "I just accidentally went to bed a little late last night. I was worried about being late, so I didn't walk with my brother and took another route. I thought I'd be late..."

"Indeed, I almost forgot that unlike us, there's only one road to get to school from Ilya's house."

"So it's no coincidence that we see Ilya every morning."

One of Ilya's friends, Tatsuko Yamama, who calls herself one of the Four Gods of Homurahara Elementary School, 'Azure Dragon,' shouted as if she had suddenly realized something.

"It was Ilya who did it on purpose!"

"That's obvious. We're friends with Ilya, it's normal to see her on the street every day."

In response, Suzuka Kurihara gave her an elbow.

"Alright, alright, class is about to start, everyone please return to your seats."

Ilya glanced at the clock and said that there were only Treta Yuga left before class started. Then the others obediently returned to their seats to wait for the First Handicraft Lesson of the first day of the Third Term.

Looking out the window at the still-falling snow, Ilya suddenly thought of the person she had bumped into earlier that day...

Wow, she's in such good health! She bumped into something but ended up falling down on her own. And her hair is so long, the same color as mine, but it seems a bit lighter... Does Fuyuki have anyone else with this hair color besides my family? I've never seen it before. Could she be a new resident?

"Hello everyone! How was your New Year holiday? Although it was only a little over ten days, did you visit a shrine with your parents, siblings, or other Shrine members? Did you make any interesting wishes? And did you choose your kimono carefully?"

Standing on the podium, Taiga, the homeroom teacher, greeted everyone with his usual cheerful enthusiasm, but then a 'Sorrow' and gloomy expression appeared on his face.

"But I didn't do any of those Teacher, I didn't wear a kimono, and I didn't go to the Shrine to pray on New Year's Day because I overslept. I didn't make any wishes either. I just went out drunk in the middle of the night and acted cute with some kid I didn't even know, and almost got arrested and taken to the Police Department, hahaha. It was such a fun holiday, so great, hahaha..."

The youthful energy of the children seemed to be quickly replaced by the melancholy of the older women entering society.

"Oh, by the way, we have a new student transferring to our class today!"

Taiga coughed once, then dramatically opened the classroom Great Gate.

Dozens of eyes turned to that direction, and the once quiet classroom became slightly noisy.

Let me introduce myself to everyone!

As Taiga waved exaggeratedly, a person with Silver Hair slowly walked in through the door in the eyes of the group of elementary school students.

He was undoubtedly a very good-looking person, because the whole class was mesmerized by him. When it was time for break, this transfer student would soon be surrounded by his classmates.

At the same time, Ilya also realized this.

Ah, that looks like the person from this morning.

Chapter 386 Maitreya's Tribulation at the Dragon Flower Three Assemblies.

"Ivia, that's my name."

"Ilya, is she your relative? Her name even has 'I' in it!"

"Identical hair color, are they older or younger brothers, or distant cousins?"

"It can't be her brother or sister. My sister saw Ilya's brother in High School; he's a gentle, red-haired older brother!"

"When they talk about transfer students who come out of nowhere, they should be beautiful girls, right?"

"You guys are so noisy! Can't you be a little quieter? I haven't finished my homework yet!"

"Did you watch the game last night, Teacher. Taiga? I didn't expect you to win! You must have lost your bet again, Teacher!"

The silence lasted only a moment; after the new transfer student introduced himself, the group of students began to make noise again.

"All of you, shut up quietly!"

Taiga first took a breath and found that the smell of alcohol was gone, so he banged heavily on the blackboard, making a loud noise that echoed throughout the classroom.

Elementary school students are no different from noisy wild animals, regardless of their intelligence, and Taiga is like the person in charge of managing the wildlife park.

"Everyone, please be quiet now. We're collecting your New Year's holiday homework. Put it all on your desks. We'll discuss the issue of Ivia after class. If you keep making noise, I'll start beating everyone up, one by one, equally and fairly."

After swinging his arms around forcefully, Taiga smiled, realizing that his intimidation was quite effective.

"So before class... Ivia, you can sit in the last row of this group."

The location Taiga mentioned was right behind Ilya. Watching her new classmate walk down, Ilya was a little bewildered. After all, bumping into a transfer student on the first day of the new semester was just like Magical Girl storyline...

However, the new team member should be female, so I hope she's easy to get along with.

"And so, with some new students joining, the Third Term began smoothly. Let's the Crowd get along well in the new semester!"

As soon as Ivia sat down, the Taiga continued speaking.

Because today was the opening ceremony, after collecting the New Year holiday homework, there were basically no regular classes, only class meetings. Ilya listened absentmindedly while glancing at the list of new textbooks that Taiga had written on the blackboard.

She also understood that the Taiga was actually written for the newcomer, Ivia, since they had already bought it.

After a while, the class meeting came to an end as Taiga excitedly raised his hand.

As expected, after class, Ivia, the transfer student, was surrounded by interested elementary school students.

"Buying textbooks just for the Third Term is a waste of money. How about we just copy my textbooks instead?"

Turning slightly to glance at the crowd behind her, she realized she couldn't squeeze in at all, which made Ilya sigh inwardly.

That's normal; that's the fate of transfer students. Apologize properly for what happened this morning when fewer people are around.

"No need, Tatsuko Yamama, Caren has already bought it."

"Caren? Could it be Caren, the Teacher in the Nurse’s Office? Are you related Teacher Caren, Ivia?"

"They're nominally siblings, Suzuka Kurihara."

"They actually memorized all our names and what we looked like in such a short time..."

"Just take a look."

"I feel like I've heard something incredible..."
