"But reality is cruel. I lost completely. It looks like I need to practice even more. Thank you for sparring with me, Miss Fu Hua."
"I hope I can receive your guidance in the future."
Fu Hua, who had been acting like an aloof master, twitched the corner of her mouth after hearing this.
Waving her hand, she took out her water cup.
She unscrewed the cap and slowly blew air into it.
"Slurp, slurp~ Ah--"
"Let's not talk about this for now. I have to go. Goodbye, Miss Miyabi."
As her voice faded, feathers began to float around Fu Hua.
Her figure gradually blurred until she disappeared.
Even the surrounding environment began to blur with her.
The members of the Anti-Air Sixth Division felt a wave of dizziness. When they came to their senses, they were all sitting at their respective desks.
It was as if everything that had just happened was as fleeting as a dream.
"This, this is... another illusion?!"
"It felt so real! I'm back at my desk, and I can still taste the potato chips I just ate."
Tsukishiro Yanagi's pupils trembled. Although she knew about Fu Hua's abilities, she still hadn't expected that what they had just experienced was a hallucination.
"With this kind of illusion, there's no way to tell if it's real or fake."
"And we have no idea when Miss Fu Hua initiated it."
"Section Chief, if... if this was a Remnant, then we--"
Tsukishiro Yanagi didn't finish her sentence, but it caused everyone present to become serious.
"It seems I'll have to schedule her training sessions into my practice schedule."
The heavy atmosphere was broken by Hoshimi Miyabi's words.
"Aren't you worried about Miss Fu Hua...?"
"As someone from the Hoshimi Family, my intuition is usually very accurate. In my brief interaction with Miss Fu Hua, I could sense that... even if I were to become that kind of person, she wouldn't."
"Alright, I didn't expect that. The Section Chief's trust in Miss Fu Hua far exceeds her trust in herself."
It wasn't surprising that Hoshimi Miyabi felt this way.
After all, the aura Fu Hua exuded was like the sun, a sun specifically born to dispel darkness.
Meanwhile, Fu Hua, who had long since returned home, was sitting on the balcony listening to the wind, drinking tea and playing chess.
Inside the house, Cuiji was also studying.
She was constantly asking Belle and Wise questions, showing remarkable diligence.
Her phone rang. Thinking it was Belle replying, she picked it up and immediately frowned.
Joy bloomed in the corners of her eyes.
Anbi has requested to add you as a friend.
After clicking accept, Cuiji quickly put down her book and started typing.
Cuiji: Hey~ Captain Anby.
Cuiji: I didn't expect you to add me proactively~ I'm so happy.
Cuiji: [Little cat smiling face jpg]
Anbi: Mm, Cuiji, did you steal my...
Cuiji: ???
Cuiji: What are you talking about, Captain Anby~
Anbi: The clothes you wear underneath.
Cuiji: Eh!?
Cuiji: Captain, what are you saying? Cuiji doesn't know~
Anbi: You took them, give them back.
Cuiji: Sure~ Captain Anby.
Cuiji: Actually, Master told me to find time to go on a date with you properly~
Anbi: Date?
Anbi: Is it an arranged meeting to gather and have a conference?
Cuiji: ...
Cuiji: Just as expected of the captain, that's exactly what I meant.
Anbi: Alright then.
Cuiji: Captain Anby, hehe...
Cuiji: You really like "Remnant Impersonators," right? It's super popular lately.
Anbi: !!!
Anbi: Could it be you like them too...?
Anbi: ...
Afterward, Anbi seemed to have opened a floodgate, sending Cuiji a torrent of reviews and thoughts.
Seeing the messages from the other person, a smile curved Cuiji's lips.
Captain Anby is chatting with me—this makes me so happy.
Cuiji: Mhmm, Captain Anby, I managed to get tickets for the second movie!~
Cuiji: Shall we go together tomorrow?
Anbi: Sure, it just so happens that Cunning Rabbit House has been quite idle lately.
Anbi: And that's all thanks to you, Cuiji.
Anbi: We originally planned to only earn enough for a bust.
Cuiji: Hehe, I'm honored to be able to help Captain Anby.
Perhaps it was due to their reunion, but the two chatted for a long time.
The next day, Cuiji dressed up beautifully and headed out after telling Fu Hua.
Nodding blankly, Fu Hua was about to continue watching a flower-arranging tutorial video.
She suddenly remembered that today was the day of the school exams.
After changing her clothes, she headed to school.
In the afternoon, the exam ended.
Seeing Ellen walk out of the classroom listlessly, Fu Hua, who had organized her test papers, asked.
"How was it?"
Scratching her cheek, Ellen said a bit sheepishly.
"Surprisingly, it wasn't bad. The questions weren't that difficult.
Also, thank you for your help, Fu Hua."
"Mm, no problem, that's good. Let's head back, it's just today..."
Before she could finish speaking, she saw Ellen lean her head directly onto her shoulder and fall asleep.
At first, Fu Hua was a bit stunned. Once she came to her senses, a smile touched her lips.
She picked Ellen up and carried her on her back, heading towards the Victoria Housekeeping office.
"Oh, it's Miss Fu Hua, welcome home."
"Mm."
"Did Ellen fall asleep again? I'm so sorry to trouble you. Please leave her to me."
Upon seeing Ellen on Fu Hua's back, Lycaon quickly stepped forward and took her.
"Lately, Ellen has been paying close attention in class. Combined with the notes I've compiled, she might get a good result."
"Is that so? Thank you for your concern."
After placing Ellen on the sofa and tucking her in, Lycaon smiled.
"It's nothing, it's what I should do."
"By the way, Miss Fu Hua, I heard Miss Miyabi has been coming to the school to find you these past few days."
"Yes, that's right."
"That must be causing you trouble. It's my oversight. I'll handle this issue right away. You don't need to go to school for a while."
"If that's the case, then what about Ellen?"
"Mm... I'll arrange for someone else. Miss Fu Hua doesn't need to worry."
"What about Lina and the others?"
"Miss Lina and Kelvin are still working. They might be back a little late."
"I see. Then I'll go grocery shopping first. I'll handle dinner tonight."
"Really? I'm delighted to get to taste Miss Fu Hua's cooking.
Since I have nothing else to do, why don't I accompany you to pick out ingredients?"
"Alright, let's go."
Fu Hua nodded, not refusing.
And so, she and Lycaon headed to the supermarket to buy groceries.
"Speaking of which, how has Miss Lina's cooking been lately?"
Upon hearing this, Lycaon paused for a moment before placing a plate of fatty beef rolls into the shopping cart and replying.
"Miss Lina is very diligent, so her culinary skills have naturally improved significantly. At least, besides Ellen, both Kelvin and I can appreciate it."
"Is that so? That's understandable. One can tell Miss Lina truly loves cooking. I'm sure it won't be long before she can make delicious dishes."
"Let's hope so, hahaha..."
As the two elegant butlers shopped, they naturally attracted a lot of attention.
"Excuse me, could we get your contact information?"
Suddenly, a young lady ran over and asked.
Lycaon stopped and, after a slight bow, replied politely.
"Miss, we are butlers from Victoria Housekeeping. Here is our contact information. Please feel free to call this number for any needs you may have."
"Ah, thank you."
"Yes, we look forward to your call."
