Satania's Talent / I Want to See Your Bird

Because she had to tutor Gabriel and Satania, Vignette didn't have time to work in the following days.

She called her employer and explained the situation to her in detail.

Vignette needs to take leave.

"Oh dear, that's not what we agreed on. What should we do?"

A very pleasant voice came from the other end, speaking in a soft and gentle tone, but the content of the voice made veins pop out on Vignette's forehead.

What a complete swindler!

"Then... could you not deduct my wages... no, could you deduct just a little less?"

Vignette asked cautiously, afraid that the other party might mishandle her and deduct all her wages.

"Hmm... this is really a difficult situation. What should we do?"

Vignette waited patiently for the landlady's reply.

She relies on her wages from her part-time job; otherwise, she'd be struggling to make ends meet.

To be this poor, what kind of demon are they?

Compared to him, the person on the other end of the phone seemed more like a devil.

No! That's a demon.

"Alright, alright, stop teasing that girl. Let her focus on her studies."

A clear male voice entered Vignette's ears, and she immediately found it incredibly pleasant to hear.

He truly lives up to his reputation as a boss; he's clearly someone destined for great things.

"Then it's settled. We'll go back to work immediately after the holiday!"

Vignette was afraid the other party would change their mind, so she hung up the phone immediately after speaking and let out a long sigh.

With this matter finally resolved, all that's left is to tutor Gabriel.

P. S.: The weather has been changing too fast lately, so I've gotten sick.

In addition, I used up all my drafts playing Pokémon a few days ago, so updates might not be as timely in the future.

Let's give each other a heads-up.

I haven't asked for a single day off while writing this book, and I will definitely avoid taking time off if I can avoid it.

Finally, everyone should take care of their health and drink plenty of hot water.

That's all for now, I'm going to get some hot water!

Chapter 7, Section 378: Satania's Talent

As the saying goes, even last-minute sharpening of a spear can be effective, though not necessarily quick.

Gabriel and Satania finally remembered that studying was something to do with their final exams.

Even Gabriel, who is usually a homebody and a lazy bum, got up early and went downstairs the next day.

Although she had obvious dark circles under her eyes when she arrived at Yuxian's house, she was at least very positive in her attitude.

It's clear that the exam is very important to her, and she doesn't dare to be careless or negligent.

The four of them arrived quickly. Mash had already arranged their seats in the living room, including the children. Each person had a designated spot and was not allowed to move around freely.

A group of people sat around a large table, on which were placed textbooks and learning tools.

The children looked distressed, but they did not resist.

Mash has already spoken, and with Yuxian's approval, there's no way they can escape.

They didn't make a fuss because Gabriel and the others were there. The children were very well-behaved and didn't disturb their tutoring by making noise.

Yuxian on the children's side, while Mash sat on Gabriel's side.

The noisiest person in the whole house was Satania.

She would occasionally let out a groan, scratch her head vigorously, or slap her face repeatedly.

Learning was really too difficult for her.

In comparison, Gabriel is much better off. After all, she has a foundation; back in the Heavenly Realm, she was the chief angel.

She had only fallen slightly behind in her studies, but with the help of Vignette and Raphael, she quickly got the hang of it.

It might be difficult to get a very good score, but for Gabriel, passing should be a sure thing with some tutoring.

"You're too noisy! You're disturbing me."

Little Jeanne was so annoyed by Satania that she began to complain to her.

She was the most dedicated among the children.

As for the others...

Jack would bite the pen cap from time to time, Yuxian reached out to pat her, he would turn around and act cute. It was obvious that he wasn't paying attention to his studies.

Abby was studying diligently, but she would get anxious whenever she encountered a difficult problem, and when she got anxious, she would want to cry. In the end, she didn't actually learn much.

Satania felt wronged by Little Jeanne's words; she, Great Demon, was being looked down upon by a child, and she was truly heartbroken.

"Let me help you."

While Vignette was explaining things to Gabriel, Raphael from Satania took the initiative to tutor her.

She usually loves to tease Satania, and if Satania really has to repeat a grade, that would be a really bad situation.

Without Satania, she would lose a great deal of fun, which Raphael absolutely could not tolerate.

She takes this matter very seriously, and she genuinely wants to help Satania overcome this difficult time.

However, Raphael was quickly defeated.

She stared at Satania with a blank expression, secretly wishing she could pry open Satania's head to see if it was empty inside.

Raphael's patience ran out, Mash took over her place, beginning to counsel Satania.

However, this didn't last long. Even Mash, who was always patient, wasn't much better than Raphael, and was discouraged by Satania's thought process.

With this level of skill, Mash even felt that she might not be as good as some of the other children present. They might even score higher than her if they took the exam together with Satania.

"You can't do it this way."

Yuxian couldn't stand it any longer, so he went over to look at the questions in front of Satania.

Pointing to one of the multiple-choice questions, he asked, "Satania, which answer do you think should be chosen for this question?"

"A!" Satania had nothing else to offer and was very confident. She gave her answer without hesitation or ambiguity.

"And what about this one?"

"Choose C for this one!"

Yuxian nodded; he roughly understood the problem with Satania.

"Now cross out all the answers you think are correct and choose from the other three options."

"Ha?"

Yuxian's words not only puzzled Satania, but also made everyone else look at Yuxian with great suspicion, thinking that he was trying to cause trouble.

But Yuxian remained calm and said confidently, "Let's try doing it again."

Satania, still somewhat skeptical, redid the problem in front of her.

To Mash and Raphael's disbelief, Satania's accuracy rate this time actually exceeded 50%!

"Senior... this..."

Mash looked at Yuxian with great admiration; she really didn't know that Yuxian had such a skill.

Yuxian smiled without saying a word; he had plenty of experience in outsmarting and outmaneuvering the exam setters.

For struggling students, the answer they immediately think is correct is very likely a trap set by the test creator. If they eliminate the trap, how can their accuracy rate not be high?

Raphael seemed lost in thought, utterly bewildered by this unusual phenomenon, and began to ponder its underlying reasons.

She quickly and happily exclaimed, "I know!"

"Because Satania is an idiot, everything she thinks is right is actually wrong."

Satania glared at Raphael. She couldn't understand what she was being told, but it was surprising that she couldn't understand being called an idiot.

Seeing this, Raphael quickly covered her mouth and explained with a smile, "I was just praising you. You always seem to find the wrong answer right away; that's a skill in itself!"

Upon Raphael's words, Satania immediately became arrogant. "Of course! I am the Great Demon. How could a mere exam possibly stump me?"

Raphael said with a smile, "Then you'd better do your best. We'll be classmates again next semester."

While saying this aloud, Raphael added in her mind: We can't let such a fun person leave.

"Raphael ..." Satania was somewhat moved. This angel, who seemed so kind, was so much better than Gabriel.

Satania secretly decided that the Great Demon's path to conquest would begin with Raphael.

With the help of Yuxian approach, Satania's progress indeed accelerated considerably.

This made Yuxian admire him; even fools have their advantages.

If it were someone else, being instructed by Yuxian like this would definitely make them very suspicious of his intentions, and it would be considered kind of them not to punch him twice.

However, Satania firmly believed in this, considering it to be his talent, and executed it flawlessly.

Yuxian achieving his goals, he retired and returned to the children's side.

Jack looked up and asked, "Jack want to learn Mom's method too."

"Jack, are you an idiot? That's clearly not a legitimate method!"

Gretel quickly scolded Jack, she didn't want her good friend to be deceived, not even by her Master.

She looked at Yuxian with a wary gaze, afraid Yuxian he might come up with some crooked idea to deceive them again.

Yuxian said to her in an annoyed tone, "Alice, you are very smart, but why are you so unbalanced in your studies?"

"Hmph!" Gretel turned her head away from Yuxian. "I don't want to learn anything that has nothing to do with writing."

Yuxian shook his head helplessly, thinking to himself: I'll find a chance to embarrass you sooner or later, and make you underestimate the importance of other knowledge.

The Gretel rhyme was right; Yuxian was indeed up to his old tricks again, trying to deceive her.

Section 379, Chapter 8: I Want to See Your Bird

"Take a break and have something to eat."

Tamamo no Mae brought out a large plate of sweets from the kitchen, placed it on another table in the living room, and invited everyone to join her.

She has completely entered "wife mode," staying indoors and not venturing out. She hadn't appeared in the living room earlier, but was busy in the kitchen.

Looking at the exquisite pastries on the table, it was clear that Tamamo no Mae them.

Such a Tamamo no Mae is truly rare, practically the ideal spouse one dreams of, but Yuxian somehow feels very uneasy.

Yuxian, who was used to causing trouble, always felt that the Tamamo no Mae -Tamamo no Mae front of him was a little unreal.

I don't know if this is just my imagination.

As soon as the children saw there was food, they dropped what they were holding and ran to the side to eat it happily.

Yuxian smiled and shook his head. He then invited Gabriel and the other three to have something to eat. We should balance work and rest.

"Yes, yes, how can we have the energy to study if we don't eat our fill?" The children nodded in agreement.

"That's really too much trouble for you," Vignette said politely.
