Chapter 114

Luo Mio's eyes twitched when she heard Sylvia's laughter.

"What kind of ability is that?"

In the Space Window, Sylvia pointed at Luo Mio and laughed, "Are you a chuunibyou who hasn't graduated yet?"

Hahahaha~

Luo Mio smiled, her lips forming a crescent shape. She squinted and tilted her head to look at Sylvia.

"Hahahaha... Uh..."

Sylvia, who was laughing heartily, froze instantly when she saw Luo Mio's expression.

"Cough cough..." Sylvia coughed a few times guiltily.

"Ha..." Luo Mio sighed, feeling a headache coming on.

Then he stood up and stretched.

However, because she stretched, her clothes were pulled up slightly.

Luo Mio's seemingly fair-skinned belly was exposed to Sylvia's eyes.

"Pfft..."

Sylvia seemed to have thought of something, and couldn't help but chuckle again.

"Hmm?" Luo Mio looked at her, giving her a cold look.

"What are you laughing at?"

Sylvia waved her hand, her purple eyes darting around as she spoke.

"I just suddenly remembered that I think I secretly took a picture of you lying in the bathtub yesterday."

"..."

Luo Mio fell silent immediately.

"Damn it, you bean sprout!" After a moment of silence, Luo Mio suddenly exploded and cursed at Sylvia.

"You're secretly filming a man, aren't you ashamed?!"

Seeing Luo Mio 'Luo Mio exasperated expression, Sylvia gave her a playful smile, as if she had successfully pulled off a prank.

"Hehe~!"

"Hehe delangda yo!"

"Um..."

At this moment, Sora, who was sleeping on Claudia's round and elastic legs, was awakened by the voices of Luo Mio and Sylvia.

She opened her eyes, looking at Luo Mio groggily.

"... elder brother?"

——

That evening, on their way home, Luo Mio held Kong's small hand and looked at her, saying, "Sorry, Kong, I woke you up."

Kong obediently shook her head and said with a grin, "It's okay, brother."

Then, with a mischievous grin, he said to Luo Mio, "And... I also want to see pictures of you taking a bath, brother."

Upon hearing this, Luo Mio was first taken aback, then amusedly and angrily nodded her empty head.

"You."

"Hehe." Kong stuck out his tongue.

When I arrived at my doorstep.

"Bite-!"

The bell rang, and Luo Mio opened the Space Window.

Then, Amagiri Ayato appeared in Luo Mio's field of vision.

"Tengwu-kun?"

Luo Mio asked him in confusion, "What's wrong?"

In the Space Window, Amagiri Ayato scratched the back of his head and said to Luo Mio, "Actually, I wanted to ask something."

Is Claudia with you?

"Hmm?" Luo Mio shook her head. "Tia didn't come with us today."

"Ah... is that so...?"

Luo Mio asked him, "What do you need Tia for?"

Amagiri Ayato paused for a moment, then said to Luo Mio, "Actually, I wanted to ask Claudia about the 'Tyrannical Blood Scythe'."

Tyrannical Blood Scythe... I remember it being...

However, Luo Mio became puzzled and said to Amagiri Ayato, "I remember that your opponent today, along with Yurith, was 'Vampire Princess' Irene Ursei, right?"

Amagiri Ayato nodded.

"But I remember you and Yurith won the match, right?" Luo Mio said to Amagiri Ayato.

Because of the time difference, he didn't actually watch the match between Amagiri Ayato, Yurith, and Irene; he only saw the match notification and learned that Amagiri Ayato and the others had won.

Luo Mio looked at him with a puzzled expression.

"Why are you suddenly asking about the Tyrannical Blood Scythe?"

Afterwards, Amagiri Ayato explained to Luo Mio why he had sought out Claudia.

During his battle with Irene, the "Tyrannical Blood Scythe" went berserk and out of control. Although Amagiri Ayato ultimately won, it was a narrow victory, and even the time limit of his own seal was exposed.

Luo Mio was silent for a moment, then asked Amagiri Ayato, "Where are you now?"

"I'm actually downstairs in Claudia's dormitory right now."

Amagiri Ayato raised her head, looked up, and then turned back.

"However, her room was completely dark, with no lights on at all."

Luo Mio narrowed her eyes.

"Have you checked with the Student Council?"

Amagiri Ayato nodded and said, "They went. They told me that Claudia seems to have gone back to her dorm."

Luo Mio touched her chin.

"Since you called me, that means you've already sent a message to Claudia?"

"Hmm! But she didn't reply. I was thinking that since Claudia wasn't in the dorm, she would probably be with you."

Amagiri Ayato scratched his head.

After pondering for a moment, Luo Mio said to Amagiri Ayato, "Wait for me downstairs at Claudia's dormitory. I'm on my way."

"Good."

After saying that, Luo Mio closed the Space Window.

Sora, who had overheard Luo Mio's conversation with Amagiri Ayato the entire time, looked at Luo Mio with worry in her eyes. "Brother... Sister Tia, she..."

"Don't worry," Luo Mio said, patting her head.

"Tia's strength is such that few people in the entire Asterisk can defeat her, let alone get into trouble with her."

"You go home first, I'll be back in a bit."

Touching her empty head, Luo Mio said to her.

Kong nodded.

"Um!"

——

After watching Kong walk into the house, Luo Mio turned around.

With a slight twitch of her finger, the next moment, it was as if an invisible membrane surrounded Luo Mio.

He used a bit of the power of emptiness to swap the space around himself with the Imaginary Space.

The next moment, a spatial void exactly like the one created by Kong appeared in front of Luo Mio.

Luo Mio stepped into the void.

In the blink of an eye, Luo Mio arrived at a secluded grove of trees in the Star Academy.

In the quiet woods at night, only the chirping of insects and the sound of falling leaves could be heard...

However, in the woods, Luo Mio heard indescribable, rather lewd sounds...

"Slow down!... Be gentle..."

"I can't help it, you're just too tempting..."

Luo Mio felt slightly embarrassed, but he didn't care about that now. He quickly left the woods and ran towards Claudia's dormitory.

"Whoosh—!"

"Ah!"

A woman's voice rang out, sounding somewhat displeased. "Why are you so fast this time?"

The boy said, sounding a little frightened, "Just now, I think I heard a whooshing sound..."

From then on, a legend spread throughout the Star Academy campus that a ghost haunted the area.

——

Before long, seeing that they were about to arrive at Claudia's dormitory building, Luo Mio found a secluded corner and removed the Space Shield on her body.

Upon seeing a male figure standing downstairs at the dormitory building, Luo Mio quickly ran over.

"How about it."

Luo Mio ran up behind Amagiri Ayato and asked him.

"Huh? So fast?" Amagiri Ayato looked at Luo Mio in surprise.

Luo Mio shrugged and asked him.

"Has Claudia still not replied to your message?"

Amagiri Ayato nodded.

Luo Mio looked up at the top floor of the dormitory. Claudia's room was pitch black, without a single ray of light.

Turning back to Amagiri Ayato, she said, "Wait down here for a moment, I'll go up and take a look."

"Good."

Then Luo Mio easily stepped onto the railing and jumped towards the top floor.

Amagiri Ayato stared speechlessly at Luo Mio's figure, exclaiming in surprise, "She jumped up so easily without using Stellar Power... Luo Mio is really strong..."

Just as Amagiri Ayato was sighing, Luo Mio had already arrived at the balcony of Claudia's dormitory.

——

Luo Mio tried to open the window, and it opened easily.

As he entered the house, he turned around and looked at the unlocked window, frowning slightly.

Luo Mio shifted her gaze from the window and stepped into the room. The room was pitch black, with only specks of moonlight filtering through the clouds and illuminating the space.

"Hmm?" Luo Mio looked towards a spot in the room and whispered in confusion, "Tia?"

Claudia was fast asleep, lying on the table next to the window. A strand of golden hair fell from her ear, and her pale pink lips were slightly parted as she breathed softly. Her closed eyes made Claudia look like a sleeping beauty under the moon.

But Luo Mio wasn't too concerned about the stunningly beautiful Claudia; rather, she was drawn to the way Claudia looked while she was asleep...

Her beautiful face was furrowed, and her thin, cherry-colored lips occasionally let out a low moan of pain.

Luo Mio stepped forward to check on her condition.

"—!"
