"I feel really good right now."
Lucas sighed inwardly. He lay on the bed, staring at the ceiling, not moving, not wanting to move.
Too much had happened recently; he needed to sort out his thoughts properly.
The blood-written words Himeko Murata left on the ground.
The content was very strange.
The Red-haired Onee-san clearly wanted him to escape at first.
Unfortunately, that didn't work.
Then she gave a new solution to the problem—to find something in someone's office?
Lucas had a headache.
It also involved Sirin, Ai Yi, the Headmaster, and others.
Based on the contradictory and smeared text.
The message Himeko Murata left contained both truth and falsehoods.
For a while.
Lucas had no clue.
"What's even more intriguing is... why did Teacher Himeko suddenly become normal?"
When he first saw those words.
Lucas felt that Himeko Murata had suddenly become normal just before her death, but now it seemed that wasn't the case.
After all, the Tsundere Redhead Onee-san hadn't died at all.
Recalling carefully.
Lucas quickly had a new guess.
"Teacher Himeko never had this kind of situation before. This time, I fainted, and she was still fighting Theresa. Is it possible that she managed to trigger the Headmaster's Divine Grace Barrier?"
"The contamination source tends to affect Valkyries with Honkai Energy, and the Divine Grace Barrier nullifies Honkai Energy."
"Therefore, Teacher Himeko temporarily returned to normal and left this message on the ground. That makes sense."
Lucas used his imagination to reconstruct the truth of the event.
While pondering.
A few minutes passed.
Lucas hadn't been lying in bed for long when Kiana came knocking.
Listening to the thumping sound.
Taking a deep breath.
Lucas slowly sat up. Although Himeko Murata's actions had brought him many questions and no small amount of psychological trauma, he still had important things to do now.
He instinctively glanced at the clock hanging on the wall.
It was a little past 2 AM.
The sky outside was very dark, with the thumping sound in the background.
Lucas walked over and locked the door as usual.
After tidying up his room a bit.
Lucas was ready. Just like in the previous loop, he arrived at the center of the Maze Garden and, using his 'Love You Ten Thousand Years' offensive, successfully won over Raiden Mei.
Looking at the perfectly unharmed Cook before him.
Lucas's mood was subtle.
Constantly looping and resurrecting, seeing people who had died reappear safe and sound before his eyes.
It always felt a bit unreal.
But this was also a good thing.
Lucas didn't want to lose Raiden Mei; he didn't want to lose any Valkyrie.
Including Himeko Murata, who had madly imprisoned and humiliated him.
"I will definitely find a way to achieve a perfect clear."
Lucas thought to himself. This matter had long become the belief that sustained his life.
Raiden Mei, dressed in a white kimono, leaned into the man's embrace.
"Binbin, do you really love me?"
Lucas came back to his senses. He affirmed, "Really."
"Really, really?"
"Really, really."
...
It was the same almost unchanging question again.
Lucas had long been accustomed to it; his tone was sincere, and no matter who listened, they couldn't detect any problems, only his genuine feelings.
Holding Raiden Mei tightly.
Lucas didn't want to let go for a while.
The white kimono on the Cook was very familiar.
That's right, in the last loop, Raiden Mei was wearing this white kimono when she died.
Maybe not the exact same one, but definitely the same style.
"Mei."
Lucas suddenly spoke.
Raiden Mei's slender eyelashes fluttered as she said, "What's wrong?"
Having just confirmed the other's feelings.
The Cook was in a very good mood.
Lucas said, "Who in St. Freya Academy do you think is trustworthy?"
"Binbin, besides me, you shouldn't trust anyone else."
Raiden Mei replied, looking up at the man's chiseled face, her large purple eyes filled with seriousness.
Lucas chuckled.
This was indeed the familiar Cook.
Raiden Mei said discontentedly, "What are you laughing at?"
"I remembered something happy."
"What happy thing?"
Lucas didn't speak; he just lowered his head and captured the Purple-haired girl's cherry lips.
Raiden Mei was a little surprised, then closed her eyes.
Their clothes became wrinkled from the embrace.
For a moment, spring light was revealed.
Amidst the clash of lips and tongues...
Lucas couldn't help but wonder again, if Raiden Mei could temporarily return to normal, would she also be able to provide information similar to what Himeko Murata left behind?
Speaking of which.
The lines of blood-written text that Himeko Murata left behind.
They were already very strange.
Although Lucas deduced it was due to the Divine Grace Barrier.
It caused the Tsundere Redhead Onee-san to temporarily return to normal.
But...
What the truth of the matter was.
Still needed to be discussed.
After all, Lucas had already fainted at the time; he couldn't even be sure if Theresa had used the Divine Grace Barrier.
The most crucial part was the content Himeko Murata left behind.
Where to get things from whose office goes without saying.
And the three descriptions about Ai Yi, Theresa, and Sirin were also very noteworthy.
Lucas still remembered those lines of blood-written text.
"Don't trust Ai Yi, don't ## Ai Yi, ###, kill her! Must kill her!"
"The Headmaster is very important, don't get close to her, absolutely ####### her."
"Sirin is #########, she is a traitor, kill her, kill her!"
"Don't trust Ai Yi" and "kill her" could correspond to the Herrscher of Sentience's words.
Mutually corroborating, the probability of Ai Yi being an enemy seemed even greater.
However...
Lucas didn't easily believe it; he just secretly noted this point and didn't have too many other thoughts.
Among the three sentences.
The most contradictory was the second sentence.
Saying the Headmaster was very important while telling Lucas not to get close was very strange.
And about Sirin...
Seemingly noticing Lucas's distraction, Raiden Mei exerted a little force.
A slight pain came from his mouth.
Lucas came back to his senses, and Raiden Mei gently pushed him away, saying, "What are you thinking about?"
"I'm thinking... what to do next."
Lucas's gaze was gentle.
Raiden Mei's expression changed slightly, and she said, "What to do... what are you planning to do? They are all abnormal; if you act recklessly, you will really die..."
"Why don't we just run away together?"
The Cook still couldn't forget about eloping.
Lucas naturally wouldn't agree; he explained, "It's okay, Mei, you don't have to worry, I will find a solution, and we will definitely live happily ever after."
"Really? Can we really live happily ever after?"
Raiden Mei's eyes showed some emotion.
Lucas embraced her waist.
"Yes, definitely, you have to believe me."
"Mmm... I... I believe you, Binbin." Raiden Mei showed a sickly smile on her face, "But... if you dare to lie to me, I will personally kill you."
The Cook's voice was cold.
Lucas didn't mind.
"It's okay, Mei, if you find out I'm lying to you, then boldly kill me."
