Mei: I'm Going to Find Dad / Ryoma: Stay Away from Me! / The Golden Courtyard Haunting

"Hehe, the school beauty of the St. Freya Academy is clearly this Queen. You are just a mere Brainless Idiot, your light is like a firefly trying to compete with the bright moon."

Sirin, who was sitting next to Kiana near the glass wall, took over Bronya's job. As she finished speaking, she ran her hand through her long, smooth purple hair.

"What did you say?!" Kiana most likely didn't understand the meaning of Sirin's last sentence.

Now the two of them were about to start arguing again, right in front of everyone, so Mei and Bella quickly stopped them.

Kiana and Sirin simultaneously crossed their arms, turned their faces away, and refused to look at each other like children sulking.

"You slow uncle!" Kiana complained when she saw the person who arrived.

"There was nothing I could do; we were stuck in traffic for a while."

Because of the number of people, Yaqing did not reserve a four-person booth, but instead chose a semi-open private room. The coffee shop was quiet and had soothing music playing.

"Little Kiana, Little Sirin, and Mei and Bella, it's been a long time~" Elysia greeted them.

"Elysia, it's been a long time," Mei a gentle smile.

After everyone was seated.

"You stinky uncle, you're really late. The defense is already over." Kiana was still brooding.

"Really? That's a real shame. I was hoping to see how smart Kiana was during her defense." Yaqing sighed regretfully.

"Hmph, I've really outperformed everyone today." Kiana's high ponytail looked much more dashing and less childish than her previous braided hairstyle.

"Hehe, I wonder who it was that got stuck so soon after going up there," Sirin complained.

"If Yaqing wants to see it, Bronya should have a recording," Bella bluntly.

"You!" Kiana, who had been viciously backstabbed, pointed at Sirin and Bella, speechless.

"Speaking of Bronya, none of the Bronya are with you."

Mei smiled and said, "After the defense, Bronya took Seele, Rosalia, and Lilia to the amusement park. Aunt Cocolia said that she wanted Rosalia and Lilia to stay in the Far East and enroll in the St. Freya Academy. Seele and Annie's student status will also be transferred over."

Yaqing remembered the purpose of her visit to the St. Freya Academy today.

"By the way, you guys..."

Chapter 213 Mei: I'm going to find Dad / Ryoma: Don't come any closer!

Upon learning that the coffee shop belonged to Yaqing, Kiana, acting as if it were her own property, ordered everyone the most expensive coffee and then put the bill on Yaqing's tab.

Yaqing was helpless in the face of this.

Mobius drank a particularly bitter coffee, which she had become accustomed to; only bitterness could keep her alert during experiments.

She was puzzled and curious. The defense was already over, so why did Yaqing still come to the St. Freya Academy? Was it to accompany Elysia to see her little sister?

At this moment, Yaqing also remembered her purpose in coming to the St. Freya Academy.

"Kiana, what are your plans after graduation?" Yaqing asked.

"Plans?" Kiana clearly hadn't considered this.

"Bella and I are going home!" Sirin excitedly raised her hand. For a homebody like her, there is no place warmer and happier than home.

Yaqing shifted her gaze from Kiana to Sirin, and said with a half-smile, "Sirin, your sister gave you orders to stay in the Far East for some training before you are allowed to go home."

"Ah! How could this happen..." Sirin wailed, slumped onto the table, and instantly felt that life had lost its joy.

"Sirin, it seems we don't have enough credits to graduate," Bella whispered a reminder.

"What?!" Sirin sat up abruptly.

"Yes, Sirin, you took a year off from school and haven't earned all your credits yet," Mei remembered.

"That means someone has to study for another year." Kiana looked at Sirin with ill intent.

"Let me die!" Sirin collapsed into Bella's arms, all her strength gone, like a salted fish.

Kiana looked at Mei.

Mei thought about it carefully, "I might go to my dad's ME Corporation to study management."

"Then I want to go too!" Kiana exclaimed excitedly.

"But Kiana ..." Mei hesitated. It wasn't because of the relationship between Schicksal and Anti-Entropy, but because she saw that Yaqing had come to the St. Freya Academy for a special reason.

"I don't care! I just want to be with Mei." Kiana wasn't stupid; she could see through Yaqing's intentions and glared at Yaqing with displeasure.

"It's alright, Kiana. ME Corporation is in Changkong City, so it's quite easy for us to meet." Mei looked at Kiana, who was acting coquettishly towards her, and, being easily swayed, she almost agreed.

"But... okay." Kiana's dejected expression resembled that of a puppy that had been abandoned.

Even Elysia couldn't stand it anymore and said, "Yaqing, since Kiana doesn't want to come, why don't you let Kiana and Mei go to ME Corporation together?"

"Elysia, the way you're saying it makes me sound like a bad person." Yaqing helplessly. He thought about it carefully and realized that he hadn't actually said anything about Kiana having to come to the Far East Branch.

"So, Uncle, you agree?" Kiana asked excitedly.

"What good is it if I agree? Little Kiana, have you forgotten the relationship between Schicksal and Anti-Entropy?" Yaqing shook her head. "I'll go find Welt for you, but I don't know if it will work."

"Uncle, you're the best~~~" Kiana said sweetly.

Yaqing got up and left the coffee shop. He didn't make a phone call. Since he was already at the St. Freya Academy, he might as well go directly to Welt Yang. He went to the classroom and dormitory area and headed straight for Welt's residence.

Politely ring the doorbell.

"They're here!"

To Yaqing's surprise, the voice that responded to him was not a man's, but a woman's.

"Did I go to the wrong place?"

Before Yaqing could even finish wondering, the villa's door opened, revealing a woman with long, messy red hair, her fair skin exposed by a tank top, and her face flushed from a hangover.

"Who are you?" Tesla looked blank when he saw that it was a man. He quickly realized that he was still wearing a tank top and slammed the door shut.

"Tesla, who is that?" Welt Young asked as he cooked in the kitchen.

"It's a man." Tesla ran upstairs.

Man?

Welt Young went to open the door, puzzled, forgetting to even take off his apron.

Yaqing finally met Welt Yang.

Welt Young understood the meaning behind Yaqing's smile.

"Don't overthink it, that's Dr. Tesla."

It would have been better if he hadn't explained; the more he did, the wider the smile on Yaqing's face became.

"I understand. I didn't expect that even though Mr. Welt was teaching at a girls' school, he still had beautiful women by his side." Yaqing smiled and said, "How should I put it? I really envy you."

"What are you doing here?" Welt Yang became extremely wary. Yaqing's sudden phone call to him was definitely not a good thing, and Yaqing's sudden visit to his door was even less likely to be a good thing.

"Can I come in and sit down? That would be against hospitality."

Welt Yang invited Yaqing into the house.

"Speak, what is it?"

Welt Young spoke curtly.

"Mr. Welt, you won't even offer your guest a sip of water? Do you consider me not a guest?"

"What do you think of this sudden visit?"

Just as the two were exchanging barbs, Einstein came down from upstairs.

Both of them looked at her.

Einstein picked up his coffee cup, which Welt had already prepared, and said calmly, "You can continue. Pretend I don't exist."

"Since Dr. Einstein has spoken, I'll get straight to the point." Yaqing showed respect for Einstein, but her tone was anything but. "Little Kiana wants to join ME Corporation."

"Huh?" Welt didn't react for a moment.

Why would Kiana, whose background is practically that of a Schicksal one, want to join a company under Anti-Entropy?

What exactly do you want?

"No, no, Mr. Welt, this is not my idea, but Kiana's. As her elder, I am only responsible for negotiating with you."

For a moment, Welt thought the person sitting opposite him was Otto.

"I can't give you an answer. Although ME Corporation is a subsidiary of Anti-Entropy, its authority is equal to mine. Only Joyce and Raiden Ryoma Tan can give you an answer. I can only help you communicate with them."

"Thank you so much, Mr. Welt. May the light of the Saintess shine upon you forever." Yaqing was so engrossed in imitating Otto that she blurted out Otto's catchphrase and immediately felt ashamed.

Welt and Einstein immediately looked at Yaqing with strange eyes.

Welt shook his head.

The internal workings of the Schicksal remain deeply feudal and superstitious.

When Welt called Ryoma and told him that Mei was going to join ME Corporation and Kiana was going to go with her, Ryoma reacted extremely strongly.

"What?"

Ryoma was planning to take a nap, was so frightened that he couldn't sleep at all.

"If Mei comes, what am I going to do with my drinks? My happiness will be gone! How am I going to stay up all night playing games?"

It didn't seem like Raiden Ryoma was hearing news of his daughter; it was more like he was hearing news of his "mother."

Welt stared blankly at the disconnected phone.

Inside the coffee shop, Mei's phone suddenly rang.

"Mei, go answer the phone first, we'll continue chatting when we get back~" Elysia the most understanding.

"Good."

When Mei returned from the restroom, Kiana immediately sensed something was wrong and asked with concern, "Mei, what's wrong?"

"My dad suddenly called and told me to gain some experience outside before going back to inherit the company." Mei's expression was blank.

"Very good!"

Chapter 214 The Haunted Golden Courtyard

The graduation ceremony at the St. Freya Academy gradually came to a close. Elysia had a lot of fun and took many photos to share with Eden, but Mobius was indifferent to it.

After learning that Mei needed training, Kiana very "enthusiastically" invited her to join the Schicksal Far East Branch.

"But..." Mei still hesitated.

"No buts, Mei ~, don't you want to work with me?" Kiana looked at Mei with her innocent big eyes, pleadingly.

Mei simply couldn't withstand such an attack.

"Uncle Yaqing, he..."

"Oh, forget about that stinky uncle, he'll definitely agree." Kiana was very confident, as if she was already certain that Yaqing would agree, because she had thought of a brilliant plan.

That is, call your mom tonight!

By the time I returned to the courtyard, it was already dark.

"Did you have fun going out?" Blanca asked, sitting on the sofa in the living room while watching a popular idol drama.

"I'm so happy! Blanca, let me tell you..." Elysia excitedly hugged Blanca's arm and recounted what she had seen and heard that day.

Mobius has gone back to sleep.

Yaqing returned to her room and called the person who was absent today.

"Calling me in the middle of the night, I suspect you're up to no good." Bronya sat cross-legged on the carpet on the floor, tilting her head to the side with her phone between her fingers, her hands constantly playing video games.

"What are you saying?" Yaqing lay on the soft bed and laughed, "I never call you when something bad happens."

"Roll."

"Wait, don't hang up yet." Knowing that Bronya was playing a game and might actually hang up on him, Yaqing hurriedly said, "Bronya, I want to recruit you into Schicksal."
