Chapter 21 - A Sweet Girl Won’t Be Fooled By The Villainess

Chapter 21 Ha Ha Ha Ha Should I sleep with Amelia? Ifia hesitated. Despite her earlier enthusiasm, as soon as it came down to action, she felt hesitant! Even though she was in a girl's body now, Ifia knew her situation. She wasn't entirely a girl. Spending the night with another girl made her feel like she would tarnish Amelia's reputation. Ah, her strong sense of morality! In the end, Ifia felt that she wasn't a despicable person. So, she firmly rejected Amelia's offer to share the bed. Instead, she was led to her own room by a maid. Politely seeing off the maid, Ifia closed the door behind her and immediately relaxed. She collapsed onto the soft big bed, letting out a satisfied sigh. This is the life! Now with some free time, Ifia remembered the recent abnormality of the system and, turning over on the bed, she began to interrogate the system. [System, why did you just glitch? Did you watch any inappropriate content and get infected with a virus?] […] [Please don’t slander the system!] The system spoke up to confirm its intact state, easing Ifia's worries. Although the system was sometimes very unreliable, it could be a source of conversation and help her with the upcoming exams. After all, her livelihood depended on the system! [Since it wasn’t infected, why did you give a warning earlier and then go silent? What happened?] [Temporary bug, now fixed.] The system was truly annoyed. Ever since being bound to Ifia as its host, it had experienced all kinds of things. It had initially thought that Ifia, this clueless lamb, could appease the villainess within a short period. However, it turned out that it was because of Ifia that the villainess almost wiped out the main group! Though there was no concrete evidence, in the records of this world's numerous collapses, each time the villainess killed the main character prematurely, the speed of the world's collapse accelerated. Therefore, as a precaution, the main group must be preserved. Fortunately, with Ifia, the system’s host, being foolishly lucky, it still had some wit at crucial moments, preventing the villainess from harming the main group. Otherwise, it would have been too late to regret. If this world were to collapse again, both the system and Ifia would be done for. As for why it suddenly went silent in front of the villainess… The system had sensed a special psychic power enveloping the entire room. If it had continued to speak in Ifia’s mind, it would have definitely been caught by the villainess. So, sensing the danger, it slipped away directly. It was also fortunate that the villainess had a favorable attitude towards Ifia and didn't want to harm her. Otherwise, after forcibly scanning Ifia's memories, it could have discovered the system. Everyone who had their memories searched by the villainess would either feel dizzy and nauseous for a few days or, in serious cases, become a mentally impaired fool... Looking at it this way, the host wasn't so bad. At least after being close to the villainess, she didn't immediately go offline like the previous hosts just after encountering the villainess. Thinking about this, the system felt a weird sense of satisfaction. Surely it was because it had been with Ifia for so long that it had become stupid too! [Haha, system, you really have a bug. Come on, tell me, let me enjoy this!] The other party refused to respond, and Ifia mocked the system's failure. After that, Ifia didn’t continue to bother the system. It had been quite an eventful day, and she was exhausted. It’s time to rest! Contentedly, Ifia nuzzled the soft pillow with her cheek. As drowsiness overcame her, her eyelids slowly closed, and her consciousness gradually sank into darkness, quickly falling asleep. "Hehehe, who is this human that the Great Lord actually cares about so much!" "Goodness, could it be that our Great Lord has developed human sentiments? There are rumors everywhere that the Great Lord has turned a human girl into a cat just to please her. He has truly lost face as a devil!" "Upon careful observation, this girl is indeed beautiful, so fair and tender." "Who would have thought that the Great Lord likes someone like her. Sigh, I wanted to flirt with her a bit too, but it looks like that's off the table now." Amidst the noisy conversation, Ifia subconsciously furrowed her brows. She felt like a lot of frogs were croaking in her ears, preventing her from sleeping well, but her eyelids were too heavy to open, so she struggled briefly and quickly fell asleep again. Meanwhile, a surge of magic suddenly swept through, and it instantly became quiet. Then, Amelia's voice rang out: "If you don't want to live, then continue." ... The next day, after Ifia woke up, she had a luxurious breakfast. After patting her satisfied stomach, she rode in a luxurious carriage with Amelia to go to the classroom. Yes, it was a carriage! Ifia sat in the luxurious carriage. Despite the strong white horses running, the carriage was smooth inside, with a faint fragrance of spices emanating from a spice box, and soft leather blankets that made her feel completely relaxed. It had been a while since she last enjoyed such convenient privileges, and Ifia couldn't help but feel a little sentimental. Amelia offered her a cup of fine Longjing tea from the Eastern Kingdom, which Ifia tasted and found to be unexpectedly good. She hadn't expected to drink such good tea in the Sis Empire! "Ifia, after signing up for the art club in the afternoon, do you want to meet with other club members?" Amelia suddenly brought up the topic of the club while Ifia was feeling sentimental. Ifia was momentarily taken aback, but soon realized and hurriedly shook her head. As a commoner able to enter the art club through connections, and not in any official position, she preferred to keep a low profile. More importantly, Ifia was worried that once Amelia was gone, the noble club members might bully her! Just as Amelia had invited her to attend a noble afternoon tea, Ifia's reason for refusal was the same, not wanting much interaction with other noble ladies. Even though being friends with a duchess’s daughter could elevate her, she herself didn’t possess anything to overshadow them. Flattery worked alright; it's the underhandedness she was wary of. For now, keep hiding. If she couldn't hide it, she'd deal with it when the time came. Due to the influences of her family's wealth, Ifia, though not very clever, had some understanding of the pros and cons under such exposure. It’s really complicated! "Amelia, I'm going to be busy studying for the upcoming exams. I'd better not meet for now," Ifia evasively declined, feeling embarrassed. Luckily, Amelia didn't push further upon seeing Ifia's refusal and, instead of continuing, changed the subject, putting Ifia at ease once more. However, the quiet and happy moment was short-lived. With the carriage speeding, they soon arrived at their destination. After getting off the carriage and saying goodbye to Amelia, Ifia immediately hurried to the classroom. With the exams three days away, she had to pretend to be a diligent student and avoid being discovered. However, as soon as Ifia pushed open the classroom door, she was immediately met with several strong glares. Looking over, she saw Irene and Fiona. Then, Fiona's eyes lit up, and she took the lead in walking towards her. Irene and George followed closely behind, their imposing demeanor making Ifia feel speechless. Here they come, the female lead and her group troublemakers!
