Aemeath: I Have to Consider Whether This Is My Only Chance in This Lifetime
"Mmm~ It's finally over~"
After warmly bidding farewell to the Little Wooly, Aemeath turned off the live stream and comfortably slumped back in her gaming chair.
Gu~
"Ah, I'm hungry..." Aemeath rubbed her slightly sunken belly. "Let's go find something to eat~"
Just then, Aemeath ran into her two best friends who had just returned from going out, as she went downstairs to find something to eat.
"Xixi, Xiao Ya, you're back?" Aemeath greeted the two with a smile.
"Ah... ah... um." Sigrika's complexion seemed even worse than in the morning, and she couldn't even manage a complete greeting.
Aemeath's face stiffened, and she quickly looked at Dania, who looked helpless beside Sigrika, her terrified eyes seeming to ask what was going on.
Aemeath: Who did this to my adorable Little Orange?
"Uh... it's a bit hard to explain. To put it simply..." Dania replied carefully, "Her worldview has been slightly shaken."
"What could have shaken Xixi's worldview like this?" Aemeath looked troubled. "It couldn't be that she encountered a nightmare, could it?"
"If that's the case, then the problem is actually much simpler," Dania said, embarrassed.
"It's alright... Yaya, Little Ai, don't worry about me... If there's nothing else, I'll go back to my room to rest..."
As soon as she finished speaking, Sigrika went upstairs on her own and ran into Xiao Ling, who was hungry from playing video games and had come down to find something to eat.
"Xixi, what's wrong? Are you sick?" Xiao Ling asked instinctively when he saw that Sigrika looked unwell.
Little Orange was startled, her originally slow steps suddenly quickened, and she quickly went upstairs and immediately locked herself in her room.
"What's going on?" Xiao Ling's face fell. "Am I that scary?"
"Who knows?" Dania said in a light, cheerful tone.
After Aemeath took a few plates of desserts from the refrigerator and went upstairs to her room.
"That's strange." That was Aemeath's first thought upon returning to her room.
She held the fork covered in cream in her mouth, her thoughts gradually becoming clearer as she began to sort out the various anomalies she had discovered that day.
The anomaly began when Sigrika went upstairs to call for someone. When she came downstairs again, she was completely different, as if she had been possessed. She only ate half a bowl of porridge for breakfast before getting off the table, walking to the sofa, and staring blankly at a book without even turning the pages.
Principal Roccia's behavior today was also somewhat unnatural. Although it wasn't very obvious from her actions, her slightly flushed cheeks and evasive eyes when facing A-Yu clearly told Aemeath that something was going on between them.
Meanwhile, Dania, who is A-Yu's official girlfriend, was as relaxed as ever. However, according to Chisa's reliable source, she came out of A-Yu's room this afternoon, holding her back. It's easy to guess what she went to do.
Lynae later added that she had only eaten a quick lunch after getting up and then immediately went out. When Aemeath went downstairs, she saw Sigrika and Dania returning home together, which indirectly proved that Dania went out to meet Sigrika.
Judging from their contrasting expressions, the outcome of their agreement must have had a negative impact on Sigrika.
What could possibly motivate Sigrika to specifically ask Dania out?
As far as Aemeath's impression of Dania is concerned, everything that can get her attention is related to Xiao Ling. Considering Sigrika's deliberate actions of pulling Dania away from Xiao Ling, it is obvious who they are talking about.
Therefore, considering all these unusual phenomena together, the truth of the matter becomes quite clear:
Sigrika went upstairs and happened to witness Xiao Ling and Roccia's intimate interaction → Sigrika broke down → Sigrika decided to tell Dania what happened → Dania expressed indifference or even support → Sigrika broke down again.
Aemeath can extract three pieces of information from this event timeline.
Firstly, there's definitely something going on between Xiao Ling and Roccia, but it hasn't reached the point of being a fait accompli yet. However, they've probably already had some practical experience with this as a second-best option.
Secondly, there's Dania's attitude towards this matter. Judging from her reaction after learning about it, she clearly doesn't mind that A-Yu is having multiple relationships at the same time, and may even be quite supportive.
Thirdly, Sigrika is currently unable to accept this behavior, which sounds morally reprehensible, and is still trying to process it.
The third point is not important at the moment, so let's set it aside for now. Combining the first and second points, we can arrive at a conclusion—
If I don't make a move soon, the next one to succeed will most likely be the headmaster.
"Ha..." Aemeath thought too much, rubbed her temples, and then stuffed a few more bites of cake to replenish her energy.
She had to consider whether this was her only chance in her life.
She hadn't acted hastily before, partly because she was unsure of Dania's attitude, and partly because of A-Piao's strict surveillance.
Sometimes she really felt that Hajipiao was like a mother hen, afraid that her little chick would be snatched away by the evil Big Gray Feather for dinner.
but...
"Hehe~ Sorry, A-Piao ~ But I really can't wait any longer~" Aemeath said with a slight smile.
Since we can't enjoy Hajiling peacefully at home, we'll just have to go outside.
As compensation, she should bear the consequences.
Having made up her mind Aemeath hummed a little tune as she left the room and headed towards Xiao Ling's room.
Hajiling, repent! You're about to lose your most beloved daughter.
"What's Little Ai?" Hajiling was engrossed in a hail of bullets in the game, asked gently when she saw Aemeath walk into the room with a warm smile.
"Do you have time tomorrow, or the day after, A-Yu?" Aemeath naturally snuggled into the other's arms.
"This week... um..." Xiao Ling Ling's expression became rather troubled.
He was scheduled to Roccia this Sunday, so he would have enough time to plan his date.
But he never expected Little Ai to interfere at this time.
"What, is it inconvenient?" Aemeath asked irritably.
"Uh... time is a bit tight, how about we reschedule for next week?"
"I don't want to!" Aemeath immediately objected, "It's within the next two days, you choose for yourself."
"You have to tell me what you're going to do, right?"
"A date," Aemeath pouted. "I don't want a perfunctory date; I want a serious, romantic date that makes me happy."
"Let's get this straight, there's no room for negotiation. If you keep brushing me off, I'll sneak away when you're not looking and hide for the rest of my life so you'll never find me!" She threatened Hajiling with feigned ferocity, like a puffing strawberry kitten.
In reality Aemeath wouldn't actually do that. At most, she would switch back to her electronic ghost state to make Hajiling jump around in a panic for a few days and teach him a lesson.
Now that she has a certain fan base, she can switch freely between her physical form and her electronic ghost form, but it seems that she can no longer summon the Tacet Discord or the Tacet Discord mech.
Clearly, Hajiling was very receptive to this, and under this adorable threat, he decisively replied in just 0.78 seconds, "Then tomorrow."
"Okay~ Let's do it tomorrow then~" Aemeath immediately beamed again, "I'll be really looking forward to our date tomorrow~"
The countdown to Hajiling losing her beloved daughter has quietly begun.
