After cleaning up the dishes, Raiden Mei made a phone call to confirm that her father was staying out overnight, and then sat down on the sofa dejectedly.

"Mei, that's great! I'll sleep with you tonight, and no one will bother us!"

The carefree Young Lady of the Kaslana Family, of course, hadn't learned much about reading between the lines, and directly and affectionately pounced on Raiden Mei, revealing her truest desires.

"Bang!"

Raiden Mei, worried about her father, was instantly enraged. She reached out and smacked Kiana on the head, coldly condemning someone's ambitions to death.

"You're sleeping on the sofa tonight!"

"Um, what about me?"

Kevin, who was taking a blanket out of the closet, heard this and scratched his head.

"You'll sleep in the same room as me!"

Raiden Mei instinctively blurted out a sentence, and the remaining four Valkyrie stood there dumbfounded, their expressions somewhat astonished.

"I object! He's a boy! Only we can get close to him!"

Kiana waved her fists, jumping up and down in anger.

"Weren't you supposed to protect me? You sleep on the floor! Block the door and don't let Kiana sneak in at night! Otherwise, you two will be stuck on the balcony in the cold wind!"

Realizing she had conveyed the wrong message, Raiden Mei blushed with embarrassment and anger, immediately pointing at Kevin's nose and gritting her teeth as she gave the order.

What kind of business is this? Sleeping with someone and preventing sexual harassment? Kevin was a little dumbfounded, and then Raiden Mei, who was in a huff, dragged him into the room.

As the door slowly closed, Kiana squatted on the ground, drawing circles with a look of grievance on her pretty face. Then she grabbed an orange from the fruit plate, peeled off the segments, put them in her mouth, and muttered to herself.

"Mei likes me... Mei doesn't like me..."

"Mei... no... you still love me!"

With each segment she ate, Kiana repeated the two options to herself. When only one segment of orange and one option remained, she opened her mouth and swallowed the orange viciously, directly changing the final option.

It must all be that brat's fault! Mei has been so cold towards him ever since she met him.

No way! Kiana, you're the smartest! Use your brain! We can't just give up like this and let that white-haired brat steal Mei away!

Just as the Young Lady of the Knight Family was busy encouraging herself, Bronya nudged Kiana was squatting on the ground muttering to herself.

"Waaah... Bronya... Mei doesn't want me anymore, you're here to comfort me, right? You want to sleep with me? I..."

Kiana threw herself into Bronya's arms, pretending to sob and vent her grievances.

"Idiot Kiana, move your butt! You're blocking our doorway..."

Bronya pressed Kiana's right cheek against hers and ruthlessly pushed the unruly Nordic princess away.

Under the protection of this Three-No Girl, and no sense of self, Anne and Hill carefully avoided Kiana, who had been hit.

And so, in the empty hall, only the pitiful Miss Kiana remained.

In Mei's room, this Yamato Nadeshiko, accustomed to taking care of her family, skillfully made the bed.

Moreover, she even left half of the bed for Kevin and spread out another blanket.

"Actually, I can sleep on the floor..."

Kevin, who was leaning against the door, raised his hand, looking somewhat embarrassed.

"Should I go outside?"

Then, the boy added that he had the soul of an adult inside him, and was not only well-developed but also very experienced.

If she were to actually cause a major scandal, it would undoubtedly be a devastating blow to Raiden Mei, who maintains her "high-class beauty" persona and tries to share the burden of her father's life.

"I told you to sleep, so just sleep! Stop talking nonsense!"

Raiden Mei glared at the boy who was making excuses, and couldn't help but recall how he had avoided her like the plague during the day, which made her instantly annoyed.

Under his employer's orders, Kevin had no choice but to submit. Looking languid, he crawled into bed fully clothed, closed his eyes, and fell asleep. Soon, his breathing became even, and his posture was peaceful, as if he had entered a deep dream.

Raiden Mei doesn't have the habit of going to bed early. She sat in bed and read for a while until 10 p. m. before she felt a little sleepy.

As she put the book back on the shelf, her right hand accidentally brushed against the boy's nose.

Her skin was so smooth and soft, it felt like jade. The lingering delicacy on her fingertips made Raiden Mei unable to resist poking Kevin's cheek.

Yes, he sleeps very peacefully; even the area around him feels calm and serene. It's strange, but also quite endearing...

Finally, Raiden Mei couldn't resist pinching Kevin's nose. It wasn't until the sleeping boy turned over that the startled ME Company heiress realized her mistake and hurriedly burrowed into bed, closing her eyes and pretending to be asleep.

As weariness washed over her, the girl, burdened by too many responsibilities, drifted into a deep sleep.

On the balcony, a figure with lush green twin ponytails appeared out of nowhere. The mysterious visitor took off her headphones, and as she traced an arc with her hand, the corners of her lips curled up slightly.

At the same time, a shimmering light appeared between Kevin's brows, from which a purplish-black rhomboid chip was extracted and split into strands that disappeared into Raiden Mei's forehead.

Goodies being delivered, all done! Sweet dreams, you two!

Immediately, the Green Twin-tailed Girl in the shadows clapped her hands triumphantly, leaned back, and leaped off the tall building.

At this moment, as the halo on her forehead dissipated, Raiden Mei's brows furrowed, and in her dream, her consciousness gradually drifted to a school library.

In a secluded corner, a frail-looking girl with black hair, purple eyes, and glasses perched on her nose, whose face bore a striking resemblance to hers, was intently flipping through profound works on electromagnetic physics and quantum mechanics.

The girl's powerful aura created an atmosphere of silence, as if the only sound in the world was the rustling of pages turning.

"Mei, I have something important to tell you, could you please come out for a moment?"

Just as Raiden Mei was engrossed in the rustling of turning pages, a stern call pulled the girl from the sea of knowledge.

Seeing that the handsome white-haired man didn't seem to be faking it, the science major hesitated for a moment, then, holding a few borrowed books, got up and followed her classmate to the library.

"What is it? Can you tell me now, Kevin...?"

Mei stopped by the wall, adjusted her glasses, and looked indifferent.

"It's crowded and noisy here, let's move forward!"

Kevin looked around seriously. Seeing this, Mei had no choice but to continue following the handsome white-haired man.

Kevin stopped when they reached a tree on a gently sloping grassy area.

"What's important?"

Mei looked at the handsome white-haired man in front of her, somewhat confused.

Kevin turned around, his face tense, his tone heavy.

"I wanted to say that today... the weather is nice, perfect for going out for a walk..."

Seeing that she had wasted so much time and time reading, Mei couldn't help but smirk. If she weren't worried about damaging the book, she would have loved to smash it over this guy's head.

"Okay, I won't tease you anymore..."

"It's about 2 kilometers from the library to here. I've observed how often you read books; you basically borrow and return them all on the same day..."

"The scenery here is beautiful, perfect for outdoor reading. If you can borrow and return books every day, walking back and forth along this path is exactly 4 kilometers..."

"This is perfect for someone with a weak constitution like you; use this time to train..."

Kevin patted the thick tree trunk, sat on the grass, chuckled, and explained, reserving the best spot for Mei.

"If you want to read more books, you have to take good care of your health. Don't always stay cooped up in places like libraries where the air doesn't circulate well, you genius..."

Mei's lips parted slightly, but before Raiden Mei could hear what she was saying, she was startled awake by the sound of the door lock being pried open.

P. S.: Today's statistics: 284 recommendations, 37 monthly tickets, 5 blades.

Donations totaled 52,064 (10 bonus chapters). Special thanks to the generous reader @{"reader_id":"36267","reader_name":"Royal Navy Sermonde"} for the silver treasure chest.

There are currently 22 + 10 = 32 chapters owed.

Two basic updates have been released, and two more updates are expected to be released around midnight.

Chapter 472 (Section 499) Something seems off? (Third Update)

Bang! Inside the room, Raiden Mei coldly sheathed her training wooden sword, while Kiana clutched her wrist, crouching on the ground and groaning in pain.

"What are you trying to do, sneaking in here like this?!"

"It's already dawn, I just wanted to Mei you up, Mei..."

Kiana looked aggrieved, but before she could continue her defense, Bronya, who was in the corridor, added insult to injury.

"That idiot Kiana said the best way to wake Sleeping Beauty is with a princess's kiss..."

Something seems off.

The commotion at the door woke Kevin from his sleep with a yawn, and he muttered as he got out of bed.

Hmm, something seems off?

Suddenly, the two white-haired creatures stared at each other, realizing the problem.

"Wasn't the door locked? How did you get in?"

"Weren't you sleeping on the floor? Why are you on the bed!"

"And another thing, waking Sleeping Beauty with a princess's kiss? What the heck? Is this some kind of lesbian scene in broad daylight? Please respect your roommate! And what if you kiss the wrong person?!"

"Mei, did this pervert ambush you in the middle of the night and take your virginity? I didn't even make a move! Damn it! I'll fight you to the death!"

Just as Kiana and Kevin's argument, which was going on a completely different wavelength, was escalating, an enraged Raiden Mei swung her wooden swords and smashed them both on the head.

"Get out! Immediately! Right now! On the balcony!"

At this moment, Raiden Mei's forehead veins bulged, and her hands gripped the wooden knife so tightly that they creaked. A moment later, the white oak carving broke in half, leaving a pile of wood chips on the ground.

A faint black aura emanated from the head of the sneering Mei- senpai, darkening the entire room and making it feel suffocating.

The two who had been shouting suddenly felt a chill on their necks and goosebumps all over their bodies, and were obediently ushered out onto the balcony to get some fresh air.

"Those two idiots are infuriating!"

Sitting on the bed, the young lady of ME Company's chest heaved. The images lingering in her mind, though constantly deepening in her memory, made her grit her teeth in hatred whenever she thought of those two troublesome white-haired bastards.

After a quick tidying up, just before leaving, the two white-haired kids who had been left on the balcony to be exposed to the cold wind were finally allowed to come in.

"Remember, today we're following ME Company's convoy to the area where the Cursed Children of the monolith live, to offer our condolences to those children..."

"Neither of you is allowed to cause trouble on the road!"

At this moment, Raiden Mei Mature Woman, dressed in a mature and sophisticated outfit of black stockings and with her long hair loosely tied up, exuded a powerful and assertive aura.

To make her youthful appearance more convincing, she even chose to wear a pair of delicate red-rimmed glasses, making her look just like Mei in her dreams.

More than a dozen trucks loaded with supplies were parked on the side of the road, followed by two black sedans. The six children naturally sat separately in them.

"You brat, you sit in the passenger seat! I want Mei to get closer to me..."

Kiana, whose nature is hard to change, was immediately kicked out by Raiden Mei with a cold face as soon as she opened her mouth, so Kevin had no choice but to fill the position.

"You guys have been all lovey-dovey for ages, it's almost my turn, ugh..."

Like a defeated rooster, Kiana grumbled as she reluctantly sat in the passenger seat, and only then did the car slowly start moving.

"Kevin... Kevin, what did you dream about last night?"

As the car passed a smooth section of road, Raiden Mei frowned, moved slightly closer to the boy, and whispered something in her ear.

"Dreaming? No, I always sleep very well. If you're experiencing this, I suggest you try drinking a glass of warm milk."

Kevin looked surprised and casually offered some suggestions.

However, for some reason, the young lady beside him turned cold again.

Knowing he had angered Raiden Mei again, the boy obediently shut his mouth and leaned against the window to look at the scenery.

However, the face reflected in the car window faintly revealed a strange and solemn expression.

Did she have that dream too?

It seems that this child is indeed one of the key factors in my recovery of memories, but nothing is clear yet, and ME Company is already looking like a storm is brewing.

It's best not to get distracted by other things for now; let's wait and see how things develop.
