Volume 3 + Chapter 214: The Unhappy Little Fox

“Tia, have a good rest, I won’t bother you anymore!”

Xia Yi stood at the door of the infirmary, waving goodbye to her.

“Mm.”

The Knight Princess nodded.

“Then, see you later~”

The conductor, Xia Yi, left the infirmary and closed the door. 

Seeing that the Knight Princess had regained some spirit, she felt reassured. 

“Has the conversation ended? Miss Xia Yi.”

Not far away, the Temple Knights were waiting outside. When they saw Xia Yi come out, they immediately came up to her.

“Mm, I and Tia…” Xia Yi paused, then quickly corrected herself, “My conversation with the Knight Princess has already ended.”

“Alright, we understand.”

The Temple Knights walked to the infirmary door and began knocking. 

Biden, standing nearby, heard this. 

“Poor student, you were far too disrespectful just now—how could you directly call the Knight Princess by her name! For a hero who saved humanity, you should be showing much more respect!” 

Old Bi Deng glared at Xia Yi. 

“But she doesn’t mind,” Xia Yi shrugged, “in fact, she actually… uh, never mind.” 

“Could it be…” 

Biden was shocked at first, then stared at Xia Yi with a look of disbelief. 

“Have you already become so close with the Knight Princess? Just what exactly did you do!”

“I didn’t do anything.”

“You…”

Biden had a bad premonition.

After all, this loli before him bore a very famous title—Citrus Green-Tea Seductive Little Scummy Loli.

Although this human Grand Magus didn’t know the precise meaning of all those nicknames, just from what she had done, it was clear enough, her means of seducing girls were quite formidable.

“Poor student, you’d better not do anything strange—she is the Sword Saint’s fiancee! If you dare harbor any crooked thoughts toward the Knight Princess, the Temple Knights might capture you, tie you to a cross, and burn you as a heretic!”

“D-don’t say such scary things! I don’t think about the Knight Princess in the way you imagine!”

Xia Yi frowned.

Why was she being misunderstood like this?

She truly had no special thoughts toward the Knight Princess, only saw her as a comrade-in-arms.

Even back in her Sword Saint era, there had been a marriage contract between herself and the Knight Princess, that was a political arrangement, not romance. At the time, the Knight Princess had already made that clear, and Xia Yi accepted it.

“You’d better not. Otherwise, even Laurel Academy won’t be able to protect you.”

After leaving those words, Biden walked away.

The headmaster of Laurel Academy had not yet returned, so he had to continue overseeing matters.

“Xia Yi.”

“Senior Sister Hill?”

Xia Yi looked toward Hill beside her.

“When Teacher left, did he say anything else?” Hill asked tentatively.

Hm?

Why was Hill asking this question?

Xia Yi thought for a moment. Could it be… she wanted praise!

That must be it.

At the time, because the possession of the Human King’s Armor was ending and the situation was urgent, she hadn’t talked much with Hill, only managed to respond briefly.

She hadn’t been praised by Teacher, so she must be a little unhappy now, right?

Hill, you’re really easy to read~

Xia Yi laughed. “Yes, Teacher really did have words for Senior Sister Hill.”

“What words?”

“He said, Senior Sister Hill’s performance in battle was very satisfying, and Teacher felt gratified at Hill’s growth—you really didn’t betray his expectations!”

“Really…?”

“Really! When the Teacher said this, he was especially happy!”

“That’s wonderful.”

A smile blossomed on Hill’s face, and she immediately hugged Xia Yi.

Eh? Why hug me just because she was praised?

Xia Yi really couldn’t understand.

A student being this close to her was really inappropriate!

Although she wanted to say that, her current persona was Hill’s junior sister.

Damn it, if only she had known earlier—she wouldn’t have taken on this junior-sister persona! Now she couldn’t openly resist, and it felt like she had suffered a huge loss!

…

…

Some more time passed.

After resting and fully recovering, the Knight Princess left Laurel Academy and went to the Temple Knights, to personally report to the Knight King.

With the aid of the Human Sword Saint and the Knight Princess, Laurel Academy had defeated the Calamity Witch and resisted the invasion of the Calamity Legion. This news quickly spread, shocking the entire human world.

The headmaster of Laurel Academy also led back the elite enforcers who had left earlier, returning swiftly to the Academy.

The previous rampage of the Calamity had destroyed many areas of Laurel City and Laurel Academy, so during this period the Academy had not resumed normal classes, but instead focused on postwar reconstruction.

Because they had defeated the Calamity Legion, Laurel Academy had also obtained many corpses of mutated beasts and disaster beasts.

Mutated beasts alone were of enormous value—let alone the disaster beasts, far superior to them. Thus, Laurel Academy had, in a short time, obtained resources that made others extremely envious.

Even after deducting postwar reconstruction, treatment of the injured, compensation for the dead… and so forth, it was still a staggering fortune.

As long as it was used well, coupled with the great prestige and reputation now won, Laurel Academy’s rise was inevitable.

…

…

On a newly repaired street, a pink-haired girl appeared.

“I actually missed so much! If I had known, I would have delayed my visit to that boring puppet!”

Yue Liu was gloomy.

When she had been in the capital of the Rhine Kingdom and learned that Laurel Academy had suffered a terrible calamity, the battle here had already ended.

By the time she returned, even postwar reconstruction was nearly finished.

The little fox grew more and more aggrieved.

She had come to the human world to challenge the strong, hone her swordsmanship, then defeat her hated rival and conquer her with strength!

But instead, she had missed out on far too much.

“Why did Calamity have to invade precisely when I wasn’t here…!”

Sigh.

Yue Liu let out a long sigh, extremely unwilling, yet helpless.

She decided to return to Laurel Academy first, to check on Xia Yi’s situation.

“The Sword Saint is so handsome, the more I look, the more handsome! This golden armor, really, he and the Knight Princess are simply a pair made in heaven!!”

“To tell you the truth, I’ve already commissioned a set of the Sword Saint’s armor, perfectly crafted one-to-one!”

“What? That’s way too enviable!!”

Yue Liu saw Laurel Academy’s students gathered at a newsstand, discussing… the Human Sword Saint?

She couldn’t help but feel concerned. After all, one of her goals in the human world was to try challenging the Human Sword Saint, yet she had missed the chance while away.

So, she walked over, picked up a newspaper, and looked. On it was a human swordsman clad in golden armor, wielding a golden holy sword, leading humanity to fight against monsters…

Wait?

The little fox froze.

Why did this holy sword look exactly the same as the one used by her rival?
