In Roxy's room, she was lying on the bed, her face flushed and in a state of semi-drunkenness... slightly tipsy.

Her hat was askew beside the pillow, her blue hair was spread across half the pillow, and two deep blushes adorned her cheeks.

Luo Ge carefully covered her with the blanket, tucking the corners under her shoulders, then straightened up to leave.

"Wait..."

"Please... please wait a moment..."

"What's wrong, teacher?"

"Um... Luo Ge... can you stay tonight?"

Luo Ge paused slightly in his steps.

He glanced down at Roxy.

The teacher had half her face buried in the pillow, her eyes half-open and half-closed, looking at him with a hazy, drunken expression. She stretched out a hand from under the covers, her fingers reaching for the hem of his clothes.

Should I... really leave?

Tonight is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!

Teacher Roxy was drunk and confused, but she still asked him not to leave.

In this situation, any normal man would probably have already gone with the flow.

But who is he?

He is a true gentleman, a socialist successor raised under the red flag.

However... before Luo Ge could make a choice, Roxy had already chosen for him.

Suddenly, Roxy grabbed Luo Ge from behind and moved closer to him from the bedside.

A warm body pressed against Luo Ge's back.

Roxy clung limply to him, her chin resting on his shoulder, her breath tickling his ear.

"..."

Luo Ge froze on the spot.

I carefully felt the gentle touch behind me.

That was Roxy's natural scent, sweet and soft...

Although he didn't turn around, Luo Ge knew without looking that Professor Roxy was drunk.

Roxy's face must be flushed, her eyes hazy, exuding a tremendous allure.

Even Luo Ge...

Being in this situation.

His heart, hardened by steel, began to pound and race at that moment.

Teacher Roxy took the initiative for the first time...

This is a feeling I've never had before.

This was something he had never done before, not even against Isolte, nor against the Nanahoshi.

His heart was racing, he was on edge, and the hairs on the back of his head stood on end.

He.

... I actually got nervous.

He wasn't that nervous when facing the Dragon God back then, but tonight, facing Roxy, he became extremely nervous for the first time in his life.

Just as Luo Ge was about to let go, Roxy suddenly tightened her grip even more.

She pressed herself against him, whispering languidly in his ear, "Luo Ge... I want to hug... hug..."

???

Luo Ge's brain went completely blank.

His face turned red, not because he was drunk, but because he was genuinely blushing.

Perhaps it's because he was drunk...

Roxy gradually grew bolder. She pushed Luo Ge onto the bed and sat directly on Luo Ge, looking down at Luo Ge with a lazy, condescending gaze.

Something even worse happened...

Luo Ge discovered that his hand was also being held tightly by Ms. Roxy, and he was completely unable to move.

Luo Ge tried to struggle a few times, but he couldn't break free at all. This swordsman was completely suppressed by the magician in terms of strength.

How is that possible?

No!

Just as Roxy leaned down, closed her eyes, and cautiously approached...

Luo Ge simply gave up and closed his eyes.

However, at this critical moment, a sudden cracking sound came from the outside door.

Immediately afterwards.

The outer door was pushed open.

It was Aisha and Norn, who were carrying hot water and towels.

The two of them were standing in the doorway.

Upon seeing what was happening in the room, his eyes widened in shock.

Aisha nearly dropped the copper basin she was holding; the water sloshed around inside, splashing out a few drops.

Norn dropped the towel in her hand and quickly bent down to pick it up.

Then he felt that this action was not quite right, so he froze on the spot and covered his eyes.

The two of them dared not look; they couldn't bear to look at even a little bit.

"Elder brother!"

"Ugh... we didn't see anything!"

"Yes, yes, no, Norn and I would never tell anyone!"

Aisha chimed in, backing away as she spoke, intending to pull Norn along to escape with her.

"Sorry, brother, we really didn't mean to say that!"

"Perhaps we've come at the wrong time!"

His gaze fell towards the main entrance, and Luo Ge had no choice but to push Roxy away from him, his tone filled with helplessness.

"No."

"You two are the right people."

He picked up the towel that had fallen on the ground, washed it with hot water, and then wrung it out to gently wipe Roxy's forehead and cheeks.

"Brother, shall I do it?"

"No need, teacher, I can take care of myself."

"Is your brother's care proper? Teacher Roxy is asleep."

Seeing the precocious Aisha, Luo Ge gently flicked Aisha forehead.

Seeing her wince in pain and on the verge of tears, Luo Ge said irritably, "What are you thinking? Your brother isn't the kind of man who takes advantage of others when they're vulnerable!"

"Then Norn and I can rest assured."

Aisha pulled Norn along, preparing to leave.

The thought that I hadn't been able to properly talk to my two younger sisters since my last visit, and the fact that I would be leaving again soon, made me realize that I was worried about my future.

Then, Luo Ge suddenly called out to them from behind, "Aisha, Norn, you two, wait a minute."

Aisha and Norn stopped simultaneously and turned around curiously. "What's wrong, brother...?"

Do you need our help?

"Well... it's nothing."

Luo Ge gestured for the two of them to come back, then sat down beside him.

"I just wanted to ask how you two are doing lately. How have you been? Like, have you been bullied or anything?"

"..."

Aisha and Norn exchanged a glance, then both said there was no problem.

Aisha said the school was alright and her grades were excellent. Norn said everything was fine and her grandmother was being taken good care of.

After listening to them finish speaking, Luo Ge could tell that although the two girls said they were fine, they were clearly holding back and not telling the truth.

Luo Ge didn't press the matter further, but instead phrased it differently.

"Aisha!"

"Norn!"

"Do you two have any wishes? Anything you want, anything you want to do, you can tell your brother."

While Norn was still deep in thought, Aisha had already thought of something. She clasped her hands together and spoke in an almost pleading tone.

"Elder brother!"

"I do have a wish, it may be a bit willful, but I hope you will grant Aisha's wish."

"What?"

Luo Ge was curious.

Aisha looked up, staring intently at him. "Brother, are you and Dad going to leave here and go to the Begaritt Continent next?"

Luo Ge nodded slightly and hummed in agreement.

Is it far away?

"It's very far. At least a round trip would take about one or two years."

Hearing this, a hint of sadness flashed in Aisha's eyes. She lowered her head and twisted the hem of her skirt with her fingers.

After a while, she raised her head again, mustering her courage. "Then can I come with you?"

"Why?"

Luo Ge tilted his head.

"I'd like to come and help... I can also do your laundry and cook for you while I'm at it..."

"Elder brother."

"Please rest assured... I'm very capable... I definitely won't hold you back, really!!"

Luo Ge looked at Aisha, but didn't rush to answer. Instead, he suddenly looked at Norn beside him.

What about Norn?

Do you also want to be like Aisha?

Seeing that Norn also nodded, Luo Ge's deep gaze swept back and forth between the two.

Finally, he asked meaningfully, "Do you two actually particularly dislike this place?"

"..."

Aisha and Norn exchanged a silent glance, then nodded together.

"I see."

Luo Ge did not press for a specific reason.

He wasn't surprised that Aisha hated this place; after all, this was Zenith's family home, and Aisha and Lilia's positions were awkward.

To put it bluntly, this is what it means to be dependent on others.

Even if the Latreia Clan treated them well, it wasn't their home after all.

To Luo Ge's surprise, Norn didn't seem to like his grandmother's house either.

Or?

Why not take them with us?

That's clearly unrealistic.

After all, this was a rescue mission from a great distance, not a vacation, and he was also traveling with his family, including his two young sisters, across the ocean.

Even though Luo Ge believed himself to be incredibly powerful, that apart from the Dragon God, there were practically no one in the world who could threaten him anymore.

But he is a human being.

Everyone makes mistakes, and Luo Ge would much rather his two younger sisters grow up in a safer place than take them on an adventure to the Begaritt Continent.

But they didn't want to stay there.

Just as Luo Ge was pondering a solution, Roxy suddenly spoke.

"Luo Ge... I have a way..."

Luo Ge was startled by the sudden sound and turned to look at Roxy on the bed in surprise. She had gotten up.

"Huh? Teacher?"

Weren't you drunk?

Unexpectedly, Roxy turned over on the pillow. Although she was slightly tipsy, she still retained some consciousness.

She stuck out her tongue slightly, a sly smile curving her lips, "You idiot, Luo Ge, I have a really high alcohol tolerance... You idiot... I'm not drunk at all."

Not drunk?

Was the teacher's behavior just an act?

Was he deliberately pretending to be drunk to test himself?

Once he thought about it that way, Luo Ge understood everything.

If I hadn't controlled myself and had offended Ms. Roxy, she would definitely be very disappointed in me afterwards...

Thinking of this, Luo Ge couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, his entire back began to sweat profusely, and he was startled awake by the cold sweat.

Fortunately, at the crucial moment, he, having gone through nine years of compulsory education, is a socialist successor raised under the red flag.

He managed to restrain himself, thus preventing the good image he had built up in front of Teacher Roxy from being ruined in an instant.

Thank goodness.

"Teacher, you... sigh..."

Luo Ge felt helpless. He hadn't expected that Teacher Roxy would set up a test for him so quietly at this time.

He was put in the situation himself, using this method to test his character.

All I can say is, a teacher truly lives up to their reputation.

He almost disappointed Ms. Roxy.
