Chapter 33
33. Nordlin Has No Honor
After helping Gabriel find work, Gabriel was incredibly excited. She paid Meng Lian back three hundred credits and then treated her to a meal.
Afterward, Meng Lian accompanied Gabriel to the lending Witch House. The senior witch was quite disappointed that Gabriel could pay off her debt so quickly. After all, innocent young girls like Gabriel had quite a market.
After paying off the loan, Meng Lian and Gabriel toured many of the Witch Academy's scenic spots. The day passed quickly.
"Meng Lian, thank you so much for today."
Night fell, and Meng Lian and Gabriel parted ways at their respective dormitory doors.
"It's nothing. I'm the Class Monitor. Helping classmates is my duty."
"Mhm. See you tomorrow then."
"See you tomorrow."
Seeing Meng Lian enter Room 404, Gabriel entered Room 403.
Once inside the dormitory, Gabriel couldn't hold back anymore. She hugged her phone and rolled around on the bed, her heart racing with excitement.
Aaaaaah! She actually spent an entire day alone with Meng Lian!
This... wasn't this a date?
Thinking about it, Gabriel's face grew even redder.
Maybe the morning was about finding a job, but in the afternoon they went sightseeing together. Along the way, Gabriel tried holding Meng Lian's hand, and the other didn't reject her. Just like that, they held hands while touring the Witch Academy all afternoon.
Gabriel could no longer suppress the excitement in her heart. She opened her phone.
Lili: "Phoeby, I spent a whole day alone with Meng Lian today! And we held hands! Held hands! Do you think I have a really good chance now?"
Little Phoeby: "Told you, trust me and you can't go wrong. See, isn't this a great start?"
Everything this afternoon had been orchestrated by Phoeby.
Little Phoeby: "But don't get too excited. Holding hands is nothing. Good friends hold hands too. If you interlaced fingers, that's when there's really something there."
Little Phoeby: "But the fact that the Class Monitor didn't reject holding hands with you means she still has good feelings for you. What you need to do next is learn about her preferences and spend more time with her."
Lili: "Mhm, mhm."
Gabriel lay on her bed, her small face filled with determination.
This concerned her happiness. She couldn't afford to be careless.
Next door, Meng Lian didn't know that she was being targeted by multiple parties. She just felt sore in her back and shoulders, extremely exhausted.
How could walking around be so tiring? Fortunately, having a beautiful girl like Gabriel accompanying her made it worth it.
Still, she secretly held Gabriel's hand and wondered if the other had noticed.
Meng Lian felt a bit guilty. This afternoon when they were alone together, somehow she just held the other's hand. Although Gabriel didn't reject her, she still felt like she was harassing the other girl.
After all, Gabriel was such an innocent and understanding girl. Suddenly doing something like that must have put her in a difficult position.
Sigh. Her lust had taken over her brain.
Meng Lian wondered if she had done too much in Nordlin, causing her behavior in reality to become somewhat unrestrained.
She really needed to be careful. Otherwise, with Nordlin's five-times time difference, it would be enough to make Meng Lian unable to distinguish which side was reality and which was the phantom realm.
Thinking of this, Meng Lian suddenly realized the hidden danger of Nordlin.
Because in Nordlin, those five days actually happened. They included eating and sleeping. If this continued for a long time, there would definitely be big problems.
Otherwise, how could she explain her actions this afternoon? After all, she was a very upright person. How could she do something so perverted as secretly holding a girl's hand?
Meng Lian realized the seriousness of the situation, completely failing to consider that it might be her own fault. She opened her private chat with Modu.
Lian (Big Stack Junior Sister): "Senior Sister, Senior Sister, I suddenly thought of a problem."
Meng Lian explained her concerns. Modu replied quickly.
Modu: "This is a very common problem. We generally use mental magic to reinforce cognition and prevent confusion between reality and the phantom realm."
Modu: "You don't need to worry yet. You've only just entered Nordlin. This kind of problem takes a long time to manifest."
Modu: "But you should indeed plan ahead. I've already told the teacher. She'll message you privately in a moment."
Teacher?
Before Meng Lian could react, a notification showed someone adding her as a friend.
It was Ziyan. After adding her as a friend, Ziyan directly sent a voice message.
QQ Space Is A Good Civilization: "Little cutie, I'm your future mentor. Too bad I'm on vacation right now, otherwise I'd really love to meet you~"
QQ Space Is A Good Civilization: "Little cutie, Modu told me about your situation. Don't worry. In a few days when school starts, I'll give you a set of magic. Just follow it and practice, and this problem will naturally resolve itself... hah~"
Where did that water sound come from?
Ziyan's voice was very alluring and seductive. But for some reason, the voice message sounded a bit unsteady. At the end, there was even a soft gasp, and Meng Lian vaguely heard faint sounds of water.
Was the teacher vacationing at the beach?
Meng Lian didn't think much of it.
Lian (Stacked Little Disciple): "I understand, Teacher. Thank you, Teacher!"
QQ Space Is A Good Civilization: "No prb."
Ziyan was now typing text, but for some reason, sent a message with a typo.
"So annoying. My hands are wet and the screen is too slippery."
At a beach, Ziyan sat under a beach umbrella, looking at the typo she accidentally sent because her screen was too slippery, and pursed her lips.
"Sigh, whatever. Little cutie should be able to understand what I mean, right?"
Ziyan didn't bother anymore. She tossed her phone aside and put on the swimsuit that had been lying nearby.
"Thank you so much today~ You two little ones better not fight anymore, okay~"
In front of Ziyan on the sand lay two girls embracing each other. They were panting heavily, their swimsuits scattered in a pile nearby. At this moment, they looked at each other with eyes full of love.
"Alright, QQ Space time is over. I should head back. Ah, such a cute little disciple. I really want to meet her right now."
Ziyan snapped her fingers. The violet glow in the two girls' eyes vanished. In their vision, the surroundings suddenly returned to normal. They hurriedly got up and dressed with flushed faces.
Meng Lian didn't think too much about that typo. She just assumed Ziyan had accidentally typed it wrong.
Just then, someone else messaged her.
Bai Wei: "There's a class meeting tomorrow. As Class Monitor, you should arrive early."
A class meeting?
Meng Lian checked the Year 1 Class 3 group chat. Sure enough, Bai Wei had just sent a message.
Bai Wei: "Tomorrow is the sixth day. Students who haven't succeeded yet really need to hurry up. I'll hold a class meeting tomorrow morning at ten. @AllMembers"
Meng Lian: "Received."
Being Class Monitor really was a lot of work. She just hoped that being diligent would eventually help her successfully join the Student Council.
Meng Lian checked the Year 1 Class 3 Underground Squad group again. She found that she couldn't participate in their topics, so she quietly left the chat.
So boring.
Meng Lian suddenly felt bored. After all, school hadn't started yet and her phone's features weren't unlocked. She could only read group messages.
But everyone in these groups had their own little circles. She couldn't fit in at all.
Was there anything interesting she could do?
Just then, the familiar dizziness came. Nordlin was pulling her in.
Meng Lian: ...
Suddenly she didn't feel bored anymore.
Aaaaaah, you bastard! It's only nine o'clock! She hadn't even bathed yet! Why was it suddenly pulling her in early?
Nordlin, you have no honor!
