“Luna.” At the school gates, Vivian rushed over to Luna in a set of green male attire. School had ended for the day quite a while ago, so there were barely any students at the school gates.

  “Why are you dressed like that?” Luna faltered upon seeing Vivian, and an exasperated look appeared on her face.

  “Have you been struck by my masculine charm?” Vivian looked at Luna with feigned love in her eyes as she attempted to hook a finger gently under Luna’s chin.

  “Not at all.” Luna took a nimble step backward to avoid Vivian’s hand as a smile appeared on her face.

  “Sigh, women are such fickle creatures. Last time, you told me that you wanted to elope to the corners of the world with me, but you’ve completely gone back on your word now. What am I to do?” A pained expression appeared on Vivian’s face as if she had been dealt a heavy blow.

  “That’s enough clowning around; let’s go. If we’re late, we’re going to have to wait in line for a long time.” Luna held onto Vivian’s hand with a resigned expression, and led her to the nearby horse-drawn carriage as she said, “Plus, we’re at the school gates, and you’re in male attire; it’ll be bad if students were to see us like this.”


  “Why’s that? Are teachers not allowed to be in a relationship? Principal Novan isn’t even prohibiting students from entering relationships. You need to abandon your archaic mindset, Luna. This is Chaos City, not Rodu; you need to live more freely in a city of freedom like this,” Vivian lectured.

  “I’m not interested in having a relationship at all at the moment. All I want is to teach to the best of my abilities. I want to draw more attention to those kids who can’t even afford food. There are so many more things I want to do.” Luna shook her head.

  Vivian turned to Luna, and asked, “What else do you want to do?!

  Luna looked back at Chaos School with a smile on her face, and said, “There are many things I still want to do. After learning how to spread freedom and equality in the world from Principal Novan, I want to set up a school in Rodu as well, and teach kids what freedom and equality are.”


  “But Boss Mag’s food is so good; would you really be able to leave that behind to go back to Rodu?” Vivian asked.

  Luna faltered upon hearing that, and hesitated momentarily, but she still gritted her teeth and said, “I will definitely go back. This is a promise I made to myself when I chose to stay in Chaos City, and it’s also my dream.”


  “I lost my dream after eating my first spicy grilled fish,” Vivian mused.

  “I definitely won’t abandon my dreams for grilled fish.” Luna shook her head with a serious expression.

  “Let’s hurry up. I really miss my super delicious grilled fish.” Vivian led Luna onto the horse-drawn carriage and instructed the coach driver to set off.

  “Vivian, what’s your dream?”


  “My dream? In the past, I just wanted to lie around and do nothing for the rest of my life. Now that I can live without pain, I don’t feel like lying around so much anymore. Maybe I should become a teacher too. What do you think?”


  “Don’t you hate children?”


  “I do. Children are so annoying! But then again…… I find them to be quite adorable sometimes. I can sense a lot of energy from kids, and I really like that.”


  It was close to the commencement of the dinner service, and two long lines had appeared in front of Mamy Restaurant again. Krassu and Urien hadn’t arrived yet, so a few minor scuffles would erupt between the sweet and savory factions, but it was quite tranquil and peaceful overall.

  Constantine stood at the back of the line, looking around for the woman of his dreams.

  Will Madam Shirley come back for dinner tonight? Constantine was feeling rather concerned. When he had asked Shirley for her contact details earlier in the day, she had completely ignored him and left on a horse-drawn carriage. That was quite a humbling experience for him. He had picked up so many women in the past few years, and it was his first time being ignored like that by one of his targets. That only worked to further fuel his urge for conquest, though.

  However, he had to admit that Shirley gave him a different feeling from the women in the past. He felt as if he had to look up to her and treat her with care.

  That carriage! Right at that moment, a horse-drawn carriage approached Mamy Restaurant, and Constantine’s eyes immediately lit up. He recognized that carriage-it was the very one that Madam Shirley had gotten onto after lunch. He stared at the horse-drawn carriage, thinking about what he could do to capture the heart of this woman of his desires.

  The horse-drawn carriage stopped near Mamy Restaurant, and Blour emerged from within in a graceful manner. He looked at the two lines outside Mamy Restaurant, and faltered at the sight of Constantine.

  This guy again? He sure is stubborn. Blour furrowed his brows. He had been harassed during lunch by the very same man, and was beginning to suspect this guy lived in Mamy Restaurant.

  What?! How did she become a male elf!? Constantine’s eyes widened in shock and incredulity as he stared at Blour. He clearly recalled that Shirley had gotten onto this horse-drawn carriage, so why had she since been replaced by a man?

  This male elf was also very graceful and handsome, but he most definitely wasn’t Shirley.

  He was hoping that perhaps Shirley would also be on the carriage, but it left after the male elf disembarked, leaving Constantine feeling quite disappointed.

  Who is this guy? Why was he on Madam Shirley’s horse-drawn carriage? Constantine surveyed Blour as he approached, and for some reason, his heart rate was beginning to spike.

  Hmm? What’s happening to me? Why is my heart beating faster at the sight of a male elf? He does look more beautiful than some women, but he’s definitely a male elf! No, I must be reacting in this manner due to my disappointment in Shirley’s absence. Constantine took a deep breath to calm himself down before smiling as he turned to Blour, and said, “Greetings, sir, may I ask in what way you’re related to Madam Shirley? I saw you disembarking from her carriage just then, and I was wondering if Madam Shirley would come to dine at this restaurant tonight.”


  “Hmm?” Blour raised an eyebrow in response. He was going to pretend not to recognize this guy, but who would have thought that the latter could remember what his carriage looked like, and was even going as far as asking him about his relationship with Shirley?

  Seeing as Blour appeared to be a little displeased, Constantine immediately added, “I’m merely curious; I bear no ill will.”


  “Shirley is my little sister. She has plans for tonight, so she won’t be able to come,” Blour replied calmly.
