Chapter 61

Chapter 61 Listen to Her Explanation! The impact of this scene was tremendous. Ifia suddenly felt a tickle in her nose, just like the itch in her heart. When the warmth surged, she realized that she was unexpectedly hemorrhaging from her nose. Quickly lifting her hand to cover the bleeding, bright red blood dripped through her fingers. Ifia was dumbfounded. There was only one thought in her mind now... Listen to her explanation! She was just stunned by the impact of this beauty, not thinking about anything strange. "Ifia, are you okay?" Not only was Ifia shocked by her own nosebleed, but Amelia also hadn't anticipated this turn of events. She immediately got up from the dining table and quickly picked up a handkerchief from the side to help Ifia wipe away the blood. However, as Amelia approached, Ifia dared not to look and a surge of turbulent waves followed. A large white sea wave swayed. Suddenly, the nosebleed got worse. Ifia felt like she was about to bleed to death. However, when Ifia's nosebleed couldn't be stopped, she didn't know what Amelia did, but the surging nosebleed suddenly stopped. After washing it briefly with water, all the bloodstains were removed. Facing Amelia's concerned gaze, Ifia smiled awkwardly at her and then spoke, "Amelia, I'm fine, let's continue!" Amelia had demonstrated it herself, she also needed to keep up with the progress. Let alone nasal bleeding, even after surgery, she had to continue! "Alright, but don't force yourself." Upon hearing Ifia saying she was fine, Amelia nodded, reminding Ifia not to overexert herself. Later, as Ifia imitated the bound hands pose, like a sacrificial offering, Amelia's mouth curved slightly. Behind Ifia's back, the demon tail once again emerged discreetly, swaying in delight. ... "Ifia, why have you been absent-minded these past few days? What are you thinking about?" In the classroom, because the professor teaching theology had gone out, the class turned into self-study. With no teacher supervising, the classroom immediately turned into a joyful gathering of free activities, and some students couldn't sit still and left their seats. It felt rebellious to walk around during class time. As Ifia sat in her seat absent-mindedly and frequently daydreamed, Lucy, her table mate, immediately asked in confusion. However, before Ifia could snap out of it, Jessina, who deliberately moved her chair over, was the first to speak. "Tsk tsk, are you bewitched by Miss Barren's excellence? I understand that feeling." As she spoke, Jessina also showed an envious look on her face, almost wanting to shout, "Take me with you." But, it was clear that it wasn't possible. Sigh, Miss Barren only gave the invitation to Ifia, and no one else could get close. As Jessina and Lucy chatted, Ifia finally snapped out of it. She met her friends' concerned gazes and simply smiled and shook her head to indicate that she was fine. A painting couldn't possibly be completed in just one day. Therefore, these past few days, as soon as school ended, she went to the art studio... and it was just yesterday that the painting was completed. It was at this moment that Ifia finally witnessed Amelia's versatility. She stood in front of the painting to admire it up close. Perfect composition, delicate brushstrokes. It felt as though she was trapped in the reality of the painting, with skulls and the faint image of demon horns in the background, bearing a fantastical color distinct from reality, leaving a striking and unforgettable impression with just one glance. Due to posture issues in the painting, and with a few additional strokes from Amelia, the nakedness appeared draped in sheer veils, appearing seemingly modest and conservative, with a hint of a blush on the cheeks and a bewildered gaze, leaving a lingering sense of ambiguity. Amelia then explained that the painting was titled "The Girl's Dream". The girl in the painting was immersed in a wondrous dream world, abruptly waking up, still lingering in the confusion and disorientation, unable to distinguish between dream and reality. It sounded poetic and artistic, but the more Ifia looked at it, the more odd it felt. The painting wasn't large in size, but perhaps due to preconceived notions, she always felt it was quite suggestive. Thankfully, Amelia had clarified from the beginning that she had no intention of participating in any internal art society activities and directly took the painting back to her residence for safekeeping. Otherwise, if someone else saw it, she would truly face social death! However, even though the first modeling session had ended, Ifia couldn't immediately recover. She kept thinking about Amelia. She's really beautiful! [System, Amelia is simply an arsonist of hearts. Why is she so good-looking!] While Ifia earnestly listened to her two friends chatting on the surface, in reality, she started to grumble at the system in her mind. She was proud to have made such charming friends! And as the system watched her seemingly worthless appearance, it didn't know what to say. Although, the more favorable Ifia felt towards the villainess, the more convenient it would be to complete the upcoming series of tasks... But every time the system saw Ifia treating a wolf as a sheep, it couldn't help but feel exasperated. [Please complete the new task as soon as possible to obtain a random fragment of the main character's plot x1] [If you can obtain a fragment of the villainess's plot, you can see the original plotline of the villainess] [If you're not curious, Host, about what happens to the villainess in the original storyline and how she became a villain?] As Ifia vented her sighs within, she heard the system luring her once again. Although the system painted a tantalizing picture, piquing her curiosity, she made the regrettable decision to refuse. Poking at someone's sore spot is unethical... Let anyone who wants to do that do it, not her! This time, Ifia unilaterally closed the chat with the system and her thoughts returned to reality. In just a few minutes, she noticed several vaguely familiar classmates next to her desk. ??? What's going on? Perplexed, Ifia turned to Lucy and Jessina, only to see both of them looking completely engrossed and serious. Just as she was pondering over this, one of the classmates spoke up, immediately providing her with an answer. "You should know about the disappearance of young women in the commoner's district of Darwa, right? There's been a shocking new development!" It turned out to be a gossip chat group during self-study class! She loved it! In an instant, Ifia was like a wild boar running wildly in a melon field, eagerly searching for the sweetest melon. "Quick, tell me, don't keep us in suspense!" "The initial missing person in the Darwa commoner's area was one of the noble's beloved mistresses, but suddenly and mysteriously disappeared. After the nobility pressured the Imperial Capital Police Station, they finally began to investigate... However, they didn't know the full extent until the investigation." "The total number of young commoner women who have disappeared in Darwa has now reached fifteen. It's all sudden disappearances, leaving no clues or traces, as if they vanished into thin air." "As the seriousness of the disappearances was realized, the Police Station didn't ignore the situation and formed a special task force to conduct the investigation." "During the investigation, an astonishing discovery was made!"
