Miss Witch’s Devotion Has Gone… Twisted

Chapter 311: Birthday Party

"Please come in, Luna is changing clothes right now and will be down soon."

Loren invited everyone into his home. Jessica hadn't called many people, just three or four.

Many people only started talking to Luna after she met Loren. Jessica didn't consider those people friends at all, so naturally, she couldn't invite them.

Loren specifically paid attention to the girl who seemed a bit off. Her hairstyle was somewhat like a mushroom cut, resembling a high school girl in survival mode.

She wasn't good-looking to begin with, and this hairstyle made her look even worse. Of course, if she sat next to Loren during an exam, he'd be quite willing to copy from her.

Loren was all too familiar with this hairstyle. It significantly reduced grooming time, no need to braid hair, freeing up more time for studying.

Magic was also quite difficult. Commoner mages needed to put in much more effort to surpass nobles. However, people in the Gedlan Kingdom also cared quite a bit about appearance, so logically, it was unlikely someone would adopt such a hairstyle just for studying.

So, Loren pulled Jessica aside and quietly asked about that girl's situation:

"Jessica, what's the background of that short-haired girl? I think she's a bit off."

Loren spoke directly. If he said she was off, then she was off. No evidence was needed."Her name is Phoris. She's an orphan. We all care a bit about beauty, but she never cares about such things. Also, her personality is somewhat extreme.

"When she first transferred, she was bullied like Luna. But that very night, she directly blocked that classmate on her way home, beat up both her and her bodyguard together, even knocking out the classmate's tooth..."

Hearing this, Loren was somewhat shocked. How could there be such a spirited person in this world?

"What happened next? Didn't she face retaliation?"

Jessica shook her head and continued:

"Many people bullied her that day. She targeted a minor noble. That minor noble wasn't much stronger than a commoner. She only participated in their actions to fit in, and to get attention, she was the most vicious.

"So, she didn't have the ability to retaliate either, and didn't dare to speak up about this matter. Once it came out, she would become the one being bullied..."

"You think I was too merciful letting Sylvia off like that?"

If Loren were Luna, if even a single living person remained in Sylvia's household, it would mean he had hidden them well. Pushed to the brink, Loren could even use that evil cultivator's method to find people.

Loren let her go for Luna's sake. At least in Luna's eyes, Sylvia's crimes didn't warrant death, and the punishment she received now was enough.

After being dealt with by Loren, Sylvia had come to terms with reality and was now exceptionally well-behaved.

"I think it's enough..."

Jessica had seen how those people were behaving now. One could say Loren had reformed the schools across the entire country.

"Then forget it."

Loren placed his hand on the hilt of Requiem. Since obtaining Requiem, it had rarely left his side, so everyone was already used to it.

Phoris's actions seemed quite reasonable on the surface, and Loren admired her personality too. It's just that her presence in such a place was very unreasonable.

People in this world were very apathetic. Loren had witnessed their apathy more than once. So when someone as principled as Phoris appeared, Loren found it abnormal.

Unfortunately, there wasn't much time now. Otherwise, Loren would definitely have the Church thoroughly investigate Phoris. For now, Loren could only be a bit more vigilant.

The classmates Jessica brought were all marveling at the luxury of Loren's home and the size of the cake in the middle of the living room. These were scenes they would never see in their lifetimes.

Only Phoris remained unmoved. She was just silently observing the layout of Loren's home.

"Luna's here!"

Someone in the crowd suddenly shouted. Loren followed the sound and saw Luna, who had changed clothes, slowly walking down the stairs.

It was her first time wearing high heels, and she was somewhat unaccustomed. Her steps were very slow, her skirt trailing on the stairs. Under the illumination of the lights from Uridia, the gems embedded in her dress reflected dazzling light, making Luna appear extraordinarily radiant.

She was already very beautiful, just her clothing and such made her seem rustic. Now, she had merely changed clothes, not even putting on makeup.

Everyone's gaze was fixed on Luna. Only Anna was staring at the cake. Jessica noticed this too and quickly moved to Anna's side:

"Do you want to eat cake?"

"Yes."

Anna answered truthfully. She glanced at Jessica and guessed her purpose, but still went along with Jessica's words.

"Do you want to eat an even bigger one?"

"Yes."

Anna continued to reply. Actually, due to insufficient preparation time this time, Luna's cake wasn't even as big as the one for Anna's previous birthday. But Anna was still humoring Jessica.

What Jessica didn't know was that she thought she was like a bad aunt trying to coax Anna, but in reality, Anna already considered her a fool.

"Wedding cakes are much bigger than birthday cakes. If Master Mentor gets married, you'll definitely get to eat the biggest cake in the world.

"That way, you'll also gain another mother, have one more person to love you..."

Jessica skillfully guided, continuing:

"Look, Luna is very beautiful now, right? And she's usually very good to you, always sharing food with you. What do you think of Luna?"

"You mean... Luna could become my mother? As long as she marries Master Mentor, I can eat a bigger cake?"

Seeing that Anna had finally been successfully guided by her, Jessica was almost moved to tears by her own efforts. She felt she deserved a separate table at Luna's wedding.

While they were talking, Luna had already arrived next to the cake. After putting on high heels, she couldn't walk steadily. It was Loren who helped her down.

It's just that when being supported by Loren, Luna's walking became even more difficult than before.

The candles were lit, and Luna began to make a wish. It's just that right now, her heart was full of Loren, with no room for anything else.

So, the wishes she made were all related to Loren. The look she gave Loren was practically dripping with affection. Naclis really wanted to block her view, but with so many people present, it wasn't very convenient for her to act.

After the wish-making ended, Anna eagerly pounced on the cake. Before she could touch it, Loren grabbed her by the scruff of her neck, the fateful spot.

"Use utensils to eat."

With so many people here, Loren couldn't get angry easily. Although he maintained a smile, his expression still darkened somewhat.

"Oh."

Anna obediently picked up the large cake-cutting knife. Loren thought she was going to serve cake to everyone and was about to praise her for being sensible when he saw her shove a huge piece of cake she had cut directly into her own mouth.

At the same time, she was also calculating other things in her mind. She could eat a bigger cake if Loren got married, but Anna wasn't satisfied with just eating it once. She calculated that she could probably eat it about ten times.
