Ah~ The Rover Is Here

There are only two weeks left until the start of the Games.

Coincidentally, the sports meet and the school anniversary celebration coincided, so the school decided to hold the two events together—meaning there would be no classes for the entire week of the sports meet, and students could freely choose to participate in the activities or stay at home.

After school at noon.

"I'm so curious, Little Ai, why did you bring Little Black to school?" Xiao Ling asked, looking at Little Black in Aemeath's arms with great curiosity.

Little Black was the golden-eyed black cat that Xiao Ling had brought back. At this moment, she was resting comfortably in Little Ai's arms, yawning from time to time.

"Because I always feel bad leaving Little Black Hei all alone at home..." Aemeath stroked Little Black's head. "Every time I come home from school, she clings to me and meows so pitifully."

Little Ai is naturally powerless against these fluffy and cute creatures, not to mention that Little Black is very intelligent. After a while Aemeath softened and decided to bring her out for some fresh air today as well.

The school is quite tolerant of cats; otherwise, so many cats on campus would be homeless. At least every student can take care of them a little.

After strolling around the campus for a while, the two got a little tired, so they found a shady bench to sit down.

"How are the preparations for the sports meet going? Are you confident you can beat Iuno and the others?" Xiao Ling naturally inquired about the preparations for the Aemeath Sports Meet.

He was talking about the Aemeath Games, but his hands were actually thinking of petting the Little Black lying in Aemeath's arms. However, the Little Black cat gently pushed him away with its paw.

(I was rejected QAQ, Little Black, all the things from the past...)

Aemeath saw Xiao Ling's failed attempt to ambush Little Black, she couldn't help but curl the corner of her mouth into a smile.

"Judging from the current situation, it's hard to say," Aemeath replied while stroking Little Black's fur. "After all, they're not weak either; if they were to compete, it would be difficult to determine a winner."

"However, if winning the match means getting a reward from A-Yu, I might go all out!"

"What reward do you want?" Xiao Ling asked with a light laugh.

"As for the reward... let's save it for now, we'll talk about it later!" Aemeath snapped her fingers. "Until then, A-Yu reserve this reward opportunity for me, Yu."

"Okay, whatever you say."

"Is that a deal?"

It's a deal!

"Pinky promise!" Aemeath extended her little finger.

"Sigh... I'm already so old..." Xiao Ling shook her head and also extended her little finger.

Pinky promise, stamp, and the whole process was completed. Aemeath smiled contentedly, her eyes narrowed.

Seeing Little Ai so happy, Xiao Ling smiled and patted Little Ai's head.

Well... if I can't pet Little Black, petting Little Ai is fine too.

After the conversation about the sports meet ended, Xiao Ling and Aemeath had no further exchange, simply keeping each other company while doing their own things.

Little Black was still nestled in Aemeath's arms, enjoying her petting service, and occasionally letting out a comfortable yawn.

Xiao Ling lay on the bench, covering her eyes with her arm and closing them to rest, occasionally glancing at Aemeath beside her out of the corner of her eye.

This girl was scrolling through her phone, and she must have seen something interesting. Her eyes were sparkling, and she couldn't hide the smile on her face. Perhaps she knew she was resting with her eyes closed, so she didn't laugh out loud. Otherwise, she probably would have happily shared all the novelties she had seen with me.

This is great; he likes this feeling.

Xiao Ling curled the corners of her lips, then hid her gaze back in her arms and began to take a nap.

However, this peaceful moment did not last long, as it was broken by Little Black's sudden actions.

Here's the situation.

Little Black was lazily nestled in Aemeath's arms, enjoying her petting, when suddenly, as if sensing something, its previously limp ears perked up instantly, and its almost squinted golden eyes widened.

Then, she suddenly sat up straight, let out a meow, and darted into the bushes ahead.

"Hey! Little Black! Where are you going!" Aemeath called out as soon as she saw the well-behaved Little Black in her arms suddenly jump into the bushes ahead.

"What's going on?" Xiao Ling immediately ended his nap and asked Aemeath beside him.

"Little Black suddenly ran away," Aemeath explained, "In that direction!"

Aemeath pointed to the bushes in front of them.

"Follow her. Given her personality, she shouldn't suddenly do something like this," Xiao Ling said decisively.

"Good!"

So the two of them quickly followed and together they went into the bushes that Little Black Hei had jumped into.

The Rover has a headache.

Her memory only extends back to the time just before she left Lahai-Roi and boarded the ship returning to the Black Shores.

Then, she suddenly felt a bright light before her eyes, and even with her strong physique, she was blinded by the light and lost consciousness.

Then, in the darkness, she felt something soft and wet licking her cheek.

Then, after struggling to open her eyes, her beautiful golden eyes suddenly froze.

"No Resonance Power?!"

She clearly sensed that there was no Resonance Power in this world. Moreover, her own power was suppressed by some strange means. She tried to forcefully mobilize it, but an even more intense headache forcibly interrupted her attempt to use her power.

She then gave up on mobilizing her power and instead began to sense whether there was a frequency in the things around her.

"Not only can we not use Resonance Power... but even the things here aren't composed of frequencies..."

This is beyond the comprehension of Rover. The environment here is highly similar to Solaris, yet it lacks the most crucial frequency?

But let's put that question aside for now; that soft, moist tongue is still licking its own cheek.

"Kitty?"

The Rover saw the owner of the tongue, a black cat with golden eyes.

Little Black showed a natural affinity for the Rover, constantly rubbing its head against her palm.

"Sweetie~ Sweetie~ Where are your family members?"

Hmm... Although we don't know the situation yet, we should probably send this cute little one back to her family first. After all, she has a little bell around her neck, so she obviously has an owner. Her owner would be very worried if she couldn't find her.

Having made up his mind, the Rover picked up Little Black from the grass and was about to set off immediately when a loud noise came from the bushes behind him.

The Rover's golden eyes instantly focused on the thicket.

Judging from this, it seems the kitten's owner has come looking for it, which saves her the trouble of searching for the kitten's family.

So when the culprit behind the rustling in the bushes came to the Rover, she forgot all the words she had prepared, leaving only her brain completely paralyzed by the scene before her.

"Hey, Little Black, why are you running so fast! I almost lost you...?"

When Aemeath's and the Rover's golden eyes met, her brain went blank.

What's going on? Did A-Yu undergo gender reassignment surgery?

The two stared at each other in silence, while Little Black, who had caused this meeting of the century, was lazily yawning in the arms of his new lover.

Xiao Ling arrived shortly after and gasped in astonishment at the sight before him, a scene that could be described as a landmark of the century.

Her wispy bangs brushing her forehead, her low ponytail standing up, and her old-fashioned Star Torch Academy uniform gave her a strong girlish charm while also exuding a sharp and assertive aura.

In this situation, Xiao Ling could only quote this one sentence.

Ah, the Rover have arrived.
