Chapter 485
"Isn't this all because of that amazing thing you did before school started?"
Upon hearing this, Ikki was both amused and exasperated.
"What could I do? It was the first time I'd ever seen a woman's body, and my first instinct was to be a gentleman."
Luo Mio rolled her eyes when she heard that.
"A gentleman? Does that mean he takes off his own clothes?"
"However... becoming the fiancée of Princess of a country, that's quite a bargain for you."
Ikki retorted in an annoyed tone.
"But Claudia is the daughter of an Integrated Enterprise Consortium that operates above the nation."
"I'm willing to wait for you, a wanderer who's always away from home, no matter how long it takes."
"I even learned to cook specifically for you."
"Aren't you the one who got the benefit but is now acting innocent?"
Seeing Ikki's rebuttal, Luo Mio became interested and smiled.
"You've been spending too much time in Shizuku, haven't you? How come your mouth is so sharp now?"
Ikki didn't say anything, but instead rolled his eyes at Luo Mio.
Luo Mio's eyes seemed to be recalling something, and she revealed a very relaxed and happy smile, then turned her eyes to look at the bright stars in the night sky.
After a while, Ikki suddenly asked.
"Is there anything I can help you with regarding the gift you prepared for Claudia?"
"Hehe, I knew I could see right through you. As expected of 'Perfect Vision,' impressive indeed."
"Stop with the nonsense, just tell me already. This is, after all, the most important time of your and Claudia's lives."
Hearing her best friend's words, Luo Mio chuckled softly and said in a slightly gentle voice.
"Well, there's still plenty of time. There's still some time before Sylvia's concert during the Chinese New Year. I need to prepare a gift properly in this time."
Looking at his own, Ikki turned his head and chuckled.
"Okay, just tell me if you need any help. My dear friend, this is the most important time for you. I will do my best to help you."
Upon hearing this, Luo Mio patted Ikki on the shoulder.
"Okay, I understand."
"Oh, right."
As if he had just thought of something, Ikki asked Luo Mio.
"Since you say there's still some time before your next world trip, would you like to go back to the world you've already been reborn into?"
Upon hearing Ikki's words, Luo Mio's expression froze.
The world that Ikki was talking about was the new world he had reset, the world of "The Bullet".
Her eyes lowered slightly, and she remained silent for a moment.
"That world doesn't need me now, and according to the timeline, the hibernation pods placed there have only been halfway through their lifespan, so it's still a while before those children's bodies can be reconstructed."
Seeing Luo Mio's appearance, Ikki sighed softly.
"But Little Xuan told me that, according to the timeline, your companions and your sister have already woken up from their hibernation pods."
"..."
Upon hearing Ikki's words, Luo Mio recalled the image of the beautiful, silver-haired girl who was as sacred and inviolable as Saintess.
And two foolish teenagers who once only thought about revenge.
The four little LoLi at home.
Luo Mio smiled slightly and looked at the sky as she spoke.
"I'll take a look if I have the chance."
At this moment—
"Hey, how much longer are you two going to chat?"
Stella's voice came from the living room behind them. Luo Mio and Ikki exchanged a glance and smiled at the same time.
"Let's go."
"Um."
You two are very similar.
"I didn't expect to buy so many great things while shopping."
At the edge of the shopping street, Stella looked at the bag in her hand.
Upon hearing Stella's words, Luo Mio retorted.
"Why did you two buy so many clothes? You don't even wear them often."
Ikki, standing to the side, could only manage a helpless, bitter smile.
Shopping bags were seen on Luo Mio and Ikki's hands and shoulders.
Most of the items inside were clothes, pants, and skirts bought by Stella and Claudia.
Because the Student Council had some urgent matters to attend to at the Star Academy, Claudia bid farewell to Luo Mio, Ikki, Stella.
Stella rolled her eyes at Luo Mio.
"What do you know?"
Luo Mio curled her lips.
"Yes, I really don't understand, after all, I don't understand the mind of Tyrannosaurus Rex."
"Haa."
Upon hearing Luo Mio's words, Stella immediately raised an eyebrow.
"Alright, alright, everyone around is watching."
When Ikki saw that the two were about to start arguing, he quickly stopped their conversation.
After observing the relatively few pedestrians around them, Luo Mio led Ikki and Stella to a secluded alley corner.
"Luckily, I asked Bella for Space Device that can store clothes in advance today."
A disc appeared in Luo Mio's hand.
This is the device Bella used on Luo Mio this morning.
It is a space storage device specifically designed for storing clothes, furniture, and the like.
It is said that the power of empty space was used.
After giving the discs to Luo Mio, Bella used the Void Fissures Spatial Teleportation to the headquarters of "The Finality".
They said they were going to watch over and destroy that guy.
Perhaps it's because men all have a fondness for robots.
Ever since Bella brought Destruction to this world, Destruction has become obsessed with researching and creating autonomous mimicry.
Furthermore, according to Bella, Destruction has also developed a number of Kou-type Weapon and "Pure Star Kou-type Weapon".
After putting all the clothes away, Luo Mio looked at Ikki Stella.
"Where are you planning to go next?"
"This one..."
"..."
Suddenly, Luo Mio's expression turned helpless and she looked like she had a headache.
"How come I run into her everywhere?"
Stella looked confused upon hearing Luo Mio's words.
Meanwhile, Ikki, standing beside him, sensed something and his expression turned slightly serious.
Stella then realized what was happening, and the atmosphere around her changed.
"This eerie, menacing aura..."
Sensing this aura, Ikki Stella looked towards the other end of the street.
All I could see was on the other side.
A lonely girl with long, white hair surrounded by deathly aura and an extremely beautiful face. On the girl's beautiful face, there are a pair of bright red eyes that look like ominous, eerie red moons.
His eyes revealed a look that seemed to be filled with pain and sadness.
Luo Mio looked at the white-haired girl in front of her and said in a speechless tone.
"Hey... Ophelia, are you eyeing me?"
"Why is it that whenever I go shopping or wherever I go, you just follow me around?"
Ophelia.
It can be said that in the entire Asterisk universe, no one is unaware of the name Ophelia and what that name represents.
Ophelia Rundel, the "Witch of Solitude".
He is the second student in history to win two consecutive "King Dragon Star Martial Festival".
Before Luo Mio and Kong appeared in this world, he was known as the strongest student.
She had fought and confronted Luo Mio and Kong once or twice.
At the same time, it possesses power bestowed by a "god" from another world, which is also used as a "hole" to monitor and observe this world.
Luo Mio doesn't really intend to get involved in that world, or rather Luo Mio doesn't even have the idea of getting involved.
Let this world... Amagiri Ayato, Yurith, and the others solve the problems that belong to this world.
Of course... this is on the premise that the other party will not harm Claudia.
"..."
Ophelia did not answer Luo Mio's words, but instead looked at Luo Mio quietly.
At the same time, the fierce and ruthless aura emanating from her body seemed to be facing a formidable enemy when it encountered Luo Mio, and it instantly appeared faintly beside Ophelia.
Passersby, seeing this, panicked and quickly moved away from the street.
Ikki Stella looked at Ophelia.
Stella, in particular, looked at Ophelia and was slightly surprised when she sensed the power contained within her.
From Ophelia's body, Stella sensed a terrifying magical power, or perhaps... Stellar Power, that was no weaker than her own.
At that moment, Ikki Stella's eyes flickered simultaneously.
A very faint flame ignited on Stella's body.
Meanwhile, invisible, sharp Sword Aura burst forth from Ikki's body.
The next second, a colorless and odorless poisonous fog surrounded the two of them.
However, the poisonous fog was completely blocked by the flames and sword energy emanating from Ikki and Stella.
Meanwhile, Luo Mio looked at Ophelia, then glanced at the poisonous fog beside her.
He reached out and flicked the poisonous fog lightly.
"!"
Ophelia was stunned when she saw it.
To her astonishment, Luo Mio's gentle flick seemed to release a very faint wisp of energy, and then all of her poisonous mist inexplicably died.
This was the first time Ophelia had encountered such a situation.
Then Ophelia looked at Luo Mio, and then at Ikki and Stella beside Luo Mio.
