Chapter 478 Parting and Recovering Memories
In the autumn of the 408th year of the Konoha calendar, the academy released the results of the semester examinations. Lokishi and Broly both received an A, while Lanleta received a C.
"Sixty points, just one point away from being held back a grade."
At La Noah Magic University, grades are not determined by how long you've studied, but by whether you pass the assessments in each semester.
Those who pass will be promoted, while those who fail will either be held back a year or expelled. Lanleta had been held back a year before this; when Lokishi was in school, she was still a first-year student.
"That was a close call, but we can still be deskmates next semester."
Luo Qixi said with a smile that she was worried about Lanleta's grades, but now she can rest assured.
"I'm sorry, Luo Qixi, I'm about to leave the academy."
However, a few days later, Lanleta made this decision and informed Lokishi of it.
"Huh, why?"
Luo Qixi asked, puzzled. Lanleta's reason was simple: she didn't want to stay in the comfort zone of the academy. She wanted to go out and grow, instead of always being taken care of by her friends and teachers. She wanted to become an independent person.
"So where are you planning to go?"
"The Kingdom of Asura, I will use that as a starting point to begin my new journey."
"What's wrong, Luo Qixi? Will you feel lonely if I leave?"
"A little."
"I thought you only cared about your cute junior."
Lanleta teased, and Loki stepped on her foot. But what Lanleta said was true. When she learned intermediate healing, she almost experienced the death of someone she knew again, which made Loki feel a protective instinct towards the boy that she could hardly explain.
"Luo Qixi".
"Um?"
Take care, see you later.
Lanleta crouched down and opened her arms.
Luo Qixi was stunned for a moment, then stepped forward and hugged her.
When Lokishi escorted Lanleta to the academy gate, she encountered Ga.Feng and Broly there.
"Did you know that Lanleta was leaving, and you came here specifically to see her off?"
Loki asked, and Broly was about to answer when his mouth was covered by Ga.Feng next to him.
"I'm planning to go back to my hometown for a visit, and Lanleta will be coming with me."
"Yes, Jia Feng will take me there."
Lanleta nodded. After all, she was the only daughter in her family, and she would definitely inform her family before leaving the academy.
The reason she went to the Kingdom of Asura, which she gave to her father, was that she wanted to better inherit the family's merchant guild, so she would follow in her father's footsteps and learn business.
"Broly, from now on, you'll be all alone by Loki's side, so you'd better take good care of her."
Lanleta began to give instructions to the Saiyan boy.
"Hey, I'm the older one, why shouldn't I be the one taking care of him?"
Beside her, Luo Qixi immediately asked the question.
"Because Broly is much more meticulous about his lifestyle than you are. Otherwise, given that you can skip lunch while reading in the library, I'm really worried that you might collapse from hunger in the library one day!"
"Woo~"
Luo Qixi had no way to refute it.
"Yes, I will take good care of Luo Qixi."
Broly nodded in agreement.
"If you don't take good care of yourself, I will never forgive you."
Once aboard the carriage, Jia Feng poked his head out and shouted loudly towards Broly before the carriage started moving.
Before Loki and Lanleta arrived, the young master had already entrusted his feelings for Loki to Broly.
"I want to go back and hone my skills so that one day I can become a man who can help my father, so I'm dropping out of school."
I don't know if I'll ever have the chance to see Loki again, so I hope she's happy. Broly, you like Loki too, right?
"Um."
"Then I'll entrust my feelings for Luo Qixi to you as well. I'll cheer you on, and please take good care of Sister Luo Qixi."
Gah Feng's affection for the demon girl was simple, and Broly, who seemed to be a similar friend to him, had shown reliability in previous incidents. Therefore, this young master made such a request, albeit somewhat naive.
With the departure of Lanleta and Jia Feng, the small circle of four that used to gather together in the academy was reduced to just two.
"Senior Luo Qixi, would you like to go out for dessert with me? I know a newly opened dessert shop, their cakes are delicious."
That day, Broly invited the girl out for dessert, and Loki accepted.
She seemed a little listless while eating the cake.
Parting is painful, and that's only natural.
"Senior Luo Qixi, I've been having some troubles lately. Would you be willing to discuss it with me?"
Sitting across from him, Broly finished his juice and asked the question.
"Hey, Broly, you have problems too?"
This question brought Luo Qixi back to her senses, and the demon girl looked over with some curiosity.
"Yes, I have."
"What kind of trouble is it?"
"It's a problem related to marriage."
"ah?!"
Luo Qixi's mouth was slightly open, seemingly not expecting the boy to give such an answer.
"Junior, you're so young, you probably haven't even been in a relationship before, so why are you talking about marriage?"
Luo Qixi thought the boy was joking with her, so she said somewhat irritably.
Actually, I already have a wife.
"Um?"
"One of them is right next to me, but she's been feeling down lately because of the loss of a friend. So, I wanted to ask you for advice on how to cheer her up."
Loki thought about it seriously for a moment, but quickly realized that Broly was targeting her.
"Well, Broly, I didn't expect you little rascal to have ulterior motives towards me."
"Senior Luo Qixi is very beautiful and has taught me so much. Am I not allowed to have feelings for you?"
Even if you praise me like that, I won't fall for a little kid.
Broly's question made Loki blush.
"Anyway, I'm sorry to have worried you. I'll cheer up."
Luo Qixi breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that the boy's words were just to cheer her up, but she assured him.
"That's good. But, Senior Luo Qixi, I have feelings for you and I want you to be my wife. That's true."
"what?"
"And your answer?"
"If I reject you, you won't be angry and break off our friendship, will you?"
"Of course not."
"To be honest, I don't have those feelings for you, junior. I'm attracted to men who look older and more mature than me."
"But I'll grow up too, won't I have that chance then?"
"Then you can ask me when you're older."
"But I want to know now."
"Um……"
Luo Qixi's face turned a little red.
"If you grow taller and more mature than me in the future, that's not impossible."
She said in a low voice.
I don't believe it.
"Hey, how can you not believe it?"
"Of course, unless Senior Luo Qixi, you first give me a rehearsal of your promise."
"Uh, what do you want me to do?"
"I'm going to propose to you later, senior, and you have to say yes, okay?"
Luo Qixi hesitated for a moment, but still agreed.
However, she just felt that this was probably a junior student in front of her who didn't believe she had cheered up, and that's why he wanted to cheer himself up in this way.
"Senior Luo Qixi, would you like to be my wife?"
However, what happened next caught the demon girl off guard. Broly actually took out a pink ring and, in front of the other customers sitting at the dessert shop's outdoor table, knelt down on one knee and asked her.
"Hmm, something seems to be popping into my head. Should I join Crystal Palace? What is that?"
Of course, what surprised Luo Qixi the most was the Crystal Palace invitation message that appeared in her mind, which made her ask a question.
"This is also part of the rehearsal. Hmm, it's one of my little magic tricks. As long as you agree, you'll probably have a lot of intimate memories of being with me in your mind. This will really cheer you up. Senior Luo Qixi, will you agree?"
Broly was also a little nervous. His early attack was to verify that Crystal Palace's criteria for recognition had already deviated from his understanding once. He was not sure if Crystal Palace would encounter other problems in terms of memory recovery.
"I'll agree then. I trust you won't hurt me."
Luo Qixi looked at the boy with gentle eyes, thinking that he was just trying to make her happy.
"Senior Luo Qixi, would you like to be my wife again?"
Broly asked again.
"I do."
This time, Luo Qixi agreed, but the moment she did, her smiling face froze.
Her pupils trembled slightly, and a crimson color, like the sunset, gradually appeared on her delicate face. Finally, she stiffly raised her hands and covered her face.
"Senior Luo Qixi, are you... alright?"
Broly thought there was another problem, so he stood up and leaned closer to ask.
Then, his cheek was pinched by the demon girl's small hand.
"Senior, right? My dear Broly junior, how come I never realized you were such a sweet-talking boy?"
Pretending to be a complete novice in magic, asking for lessons and gradually improving under my careful guidance, your acting skills are truly convincing!
The moment Loki regained her status as a full member of Crystal Palace, memories from the previous game appeared seamlessly in her mind.
That's why, after rewatching the process of how she was once again seduced by the boy in a different way, she felt an overwhelming sense of shame.
The level of shame is no less than that of a loving couple who have been married for many years, when one day the husband suddenly takes out the cheesy love letters his wife wrote to him years ago and reads them aloud.
"You deliberately got seriously injured to trick me into crying; you're really something!"
Broly had already been pulled into Loki's arms, and the demon girl's two small hands pinched his cheeks together, but she was actually kneading them hard.
"You are my husband. Your body belongs not only to you but also to me. How could you hurt yourself?!"
Loki was genuinely angry because she knew perfectly well that Broly's injuries were real when he learned Intermediate Healing in this playthrough, which made her very distressed.
"I'm sorry, I promise I won't do it again."
Broly quickly apologized and made a promise.
"Ahem, tell me, what's going on with your memories, and what about your strength?"
Under the subtle gazes of the customers sitting at the tables outside the dessert shop, Luo Qixi pinched the boy's cheek hard for a while before letting go and sitting up straight in the chair to ask him questions.
"After going back in time, you didn't retain the memories of the previous cycle because Crystal Palace didn't recognize you as a formal member in this cycle. You need to agree to become my wife in this cycle in order to restore them."
Broly explained somewhat embarrassedly, after all, he had confidently assured Loki that everything would be fine in the last playthrough, but some things had gone wrong.
"Well, it's not your fault. It was Crystal Palace that didn't explain things clearly."
Luo Qixi didn't blame her own boy; instead, she shifted the blame to the Crystal Palace, which was difficult to explain.
Fortunately, the Crystal Palace lacks wisdom, otherwise it would definitely have something to say.
"And what's the situation with your abilities?"
Luo Qixi hopes to get a reasonable explanation.
"Well, my strength has always been the same. In the last playthrough, I pretended to be weak and need your protection so that I would have a reason to hire you as my bodyguard and spend more time with you."
Broly answered honestly.
"Like this time, you pretended to be a magic newbie to fool me, your senior, and made me really think of you as a studious junior."
Luo Qixi glanced at him.
"Um."
Broly nodded.
"Broly, you're really infuriating!"
Unable to resist, Loki pulled the Saiyan boy into her arms again and continued to attack his face.
"What a little liar, he lied to me about liking you twice."
"Don't you like me doing this?"
"I feel a little ashamed to always be deceived."
"But your happiness points are increasing."
Broly reminded him.
"Well, as the shame piles up, so does the happiness. I feel like I've experienced being in love with you twice in one lifetime."
Of course, in this playthrough, my feelings for you haven't developed to the point of love yet, but this somewhat naive and hazy feeling of liking is what makes me feel...
Luo Qixi didn't say anything more; her blush spoke louder than words.
If there were a bed next to her now, Luo Qixi felt she could lie down on it, hug the blanket and wrap herself up, wriggling on it like a maggot.
"Luo Qixi, do you want to come back to the dorm with me?"
As they returned to the academy bathed in the glow of the setting sun, Broly asked the demon girl a question just before they reached the dormitory area.
"Although I really want to go with her, Rene has a very sensitive nose, and as a cat-person, she's also very curious. I don't want her to ask me all sorts of questions, like why I smell like you."
After Lanleta left, the dormitory head of the girls' dormitory arranged a new roommate for Loki. This new roommate was Rene, a catgirl who was already a very good friend of Loki when Broly met her last time.
However, the relationship between Loki and Rene is not as good as it was last week. They are just getting to know each other and there are even some conflicts. They are in the roommate adjustment period.
"I promise I won't do anything bad to you."
Broly quickly assured him.
"Of course I know you won't do anything bad to me, but I'm afraid I won't be able to resist asking you to do something bad to me."
Broly's bad deeds can make people feel very comfortable, and Lokishi also enjoys the bad things the boy does to her.
But I remember even more that in the last playthrough, the day after I started to have more intimate interactions with Broly, Rene suddenly came over, sniffed me, and then said, "Ah, Loki, you're in heat."
Now, in this new cycle, Luo Qixi doesn't want to be told the same thing again, especially since they're not that close now.
"Broly, see you tomorrow."
Watching the girl's retreating figure with small, quick steps, Broly smacked his lips.
I think the cake that Luo Qixi ordered tastes better than the cake I ordered.
