The transporter's engine made a low hum, and the wheels rolled over the uneven road, causing the vehicle's body to shake slightly.

Chuxia sat by the window, her black ponytails swaying gently as the car was bumped. She looked out the window at the scenery that was rapidly receding, and her black eyes reflected the changing light and shadow.

"Did she fail..." The words slipped out of her lips inadvertently, so softly that they were almost inaudible.

"Huh? Chuxia, what did you just say?" Rosalia, who was sitting next to her, turned her head, her pink hair slightly lifted due to static electricity.

Chuxia's pupils contracted for a moment, and then she showed a perfect smile: "I'm wondering if Yilin is afraid of riding in a car? She doesn't look very well." She pointed to the little blonde girl who was resting with her eyes closed in the seat opposite.

"Ah! Is Erin carsick?" Rosalia's attention was immediately diverted and she took out a candy from her pocket. "Here, you'll feel better if you eat the candy!"

Erin opened her green eyes and timidly took the candy: "Thank you, thank you Sister Rosalia..."

Bronya looked up from the tablet, her grey eyes sweeping across Hatsuka's face: "That's not what you just said."

Chu Xia tilted her head, showing a confused expression: "Hmm? So what did Bronya think I said?"

"I didn't hear it clearly." Bronya answered calmly, her fingers sliding quickly on the tablet, "But it's definitely not about Irene."

"Bronya must be too tired!" Rosalia rushed over and touched her silver-gray spiral ponytail with a smile, "You must have stayed up late playing games again last night, right? You were in the car the whole time... I really admire you!"

Seele glanced at Bronya's sleepy eyes and said, "Sister Bronya, you should go to bed early at night..."

Chu Xia watched this scene, with a barely perceptible smile on her lips. She turned to Lilia who was sitting in the corner and asked, "What do you think, Lilia? What did I say just now?"

The blue-haired girl raised her eyelids and said calmly, "I don't know. Stupid Rosalia was too noisy and I didn't pay attention."

"Lilia!" Rosalia turned to her sister angrily, "I'm not stupid!"

A burst of laughter broke out in the carriage, and the atmosphere became relaxed. Bronya rubbed her red eyes and turned the tablet towards everyone: "I just checked what kind of place is the St. Freya Academy that we will enter in the future. But I only found dormitory photos and class schedules, and the rest of the information is encrypted."

A few people came over and saw that the screen only displayed a few photos of the interior of the dormitory - neat beds, a bright study area, and a spacious common room.

"Wow! The dormitory is so beautiful!" Rosalia's eyes sparkled, "It's much more luxurious than the orphanage!"

Xier gently stroked the dormitory photo on the screen, her eyes gleaming with anticipation: "The bed looks so soft..."

"And everyone has their own desk!" Rosalia pointed at a corner of the photo excitedly, "Lilia, we finally don't have to squeeze on one table to do our homework!"

Lilia nodded and smiled. "Silly Rosalia no longer has an excuse to get ink on my homework."

"I wouldn't—" Rosalia was about to retort, but suddenly she seemed to remember something and lowered her voice, "If only Malka and Lynn could see it too..."

The car suddenly became quiet. Lilia lowered her head, her blue hair covering her expression. Xier's fingers unconsciously twisted the hem of her skirt.

Bronya gently put down the tablet: "Mom Cocolia said that the living should work hard to live with the deceased. So..."

"Yeah, I understand!" Rosalia suddenly cheered up and wiped her eyes. "Malka loves to laugh the most. She definitely doesn't want us to cry!"

Chuxia quietly observed everyone's reactions. Suddenly, her eyes fixed, and the whole car shook and finally stopped.

A tall woman in an elegant maid outfit stood outside the car with a fox-like smile on her face. "I am the Valkyrie responsible for picking you up, Rita. For the rest of the way, please take the transportation prepared by Tianming."

……

In the medical room of the Hyperion, Kiana crossed her arms and squinted her eyes, looking back and forth between Zijing and Mei. Mei sat beside the bed, twisting her clothes with her fingers nervously, her cheeks flushed unnaturally, and whenever Zijing's eyes swept over her, she immediately lowered her head, and even the tips of her ears turned red.

"So..." Kiana dragged out her tone and approached Mei suspiciously, "Mei, why don't you dare to look at Brother Zijing?"

"No, it's nothing!" Mei waved her hands quickly, but her movements were so big that she almost slipped off the bed. Zijing reached out to help her, but Mei pulled her hand back as if she had received an electric shock, and almost buried her face in her chest, "Thank you, thank you..."

Kiana's eyebrows were raised higher and higher, and finally almost flew into her bangs. She grabbed Zijing's sleeve and asked in a low voice: "Brother Zijing, you didn't do anything strange to Meiyi?"

"What's so strange?" Zijing looked puzzled.

"That's it...that's it..." Kiana gestured excitedly, "For example, while Mei is unconscious, secretly—"

"Kiana!" Mei suddenly raised her voice to interrupt her, her face flushed red, "No, don't talk nonsense! Mr. Zijing just saved me..."

"Oh~?" Kiana approached Mei with a wicked smile, "Then why does Mei blush when she mentions Zijing brother? Could it be..."

Mei reached out to cover Kiana's mouth in panic: "Stop, stop talking!"

Zijing looked at the two girls making a scene and shook his head helplessly. He was about to explain when the door of the medical room suddenly slid open and Theresa's little head poked in: "Jing, can you come to the bridge? There's something important."

Zijing nodded and glanced at Mei before leaving: "Have a good rest."

This simple sentence made Mei's ears redder. She lowered her head and whispered, "Hmm..."

Kiana watched Zijing leave, then turned around abruptly and put her hands on Mei's shoulders: "Mei! Tell the truth! What happened!"

Mei bit her lower lip, her eyes wandering: "It's really nothing...it's just..." Her voice became smaller and smaller, "When I woke up...my clothes were a little...ripped..."

"What?!" Kiana's eyes widened, "Brother Zijing saw it?!"

"No, it's not like that!" Mei explained hurriedly, "He also helped me put on a coat... and the situation was urgent..."

Kiana gave a sly smile: "Oh~ So Mei is shy~"

"Kiana!" Mei grabbed the pillow and threw it at her in embarrassment.
