"Miss Elysia, may I address you as such?"
The man in black bowed slightly, his voice low and hoarse.
"Of course, Gray Serpent."
Elysia recognized the newcomer at a glance and responded with a smile.
"I apologize for not coming to see you sooner. Those two just now were S-rank Valkyries from Schicksal."
Gray Serpent said, his gaze sweeping in the direction Durandal and Rita had departed.
"Oh, I know that~ Is there anything else? Like inviting me to be the leader of World Serpent?"
Elysia asked with a hint of anticipation, her eyes sparkling with excitement.
She had been thinking about becoming a leader all this time.
"Miss Elysia is joking."
Gray Serpent gently shook his head, "However, given your unique nature, Gray Serpents from all over the world will do their best to assist you."
Saying that, he handed her a communicator with the World Serpent logo. "This is a communication device, please keep it safe."
Looking at the communicator in her hand, Elysia began to fantasize.
She imagined herself giving an order and summoning countless Gray Serpents, how impressive that would be.
"Hmm... that doesn't seem so bad?"
She muttered to herself.
"Since the message has been delivered, I shall not disturb you any further."
With that, Gray Serpent slowly walked into the darkness, as if he had never appeared.
"Alright, then I, Teacher Elysia, should also go back and prepare lessons for my students ♪~"
Elysia put away the communicator and looked at the elf kevin beside her; she seemed to have an even better idea.
Perhaps she could let little Kevin perform a show for the students in class?
Elysia thought to herself, humming a tune, and slowly left, carrying the elf kevin.
Elysia directly teleported back to St. Freya.
Hmm, no one saw me, right? ♪
She looked down at the rewards from this mission; they were really good.
A cute little chibi kevin.
And the communicator given by Gray Serpent, which was... a Gray Serpent summoner!!
She cheerfully walked along the familiar path back to her office.
As soon as she entered, she heard Himeko's voice: "Eh? Teacher Elysia, where did you go this afternoon? I asked a few students, and they all said they didn't see you."
Himeko looked at her with curiosity.
"It's nothing, I just went out to meet an old friend and prepared some things I'll need for tomorrow."
Elysia explained with a smile.
After some training from Ai-chan, elf Kevin had undergone significant changes.
Ahem, saying he had transformed into Elysia's shape might be an exaggeration.
In reality, it just made him more intelligent.
"Oh, is this the... prop you prepared?"
Himeko looked at the elf Kevin in Elysia's hand with interest.
Her gaze scrutinized the doll, trying to find anything special about it.
"That's right, come on, say hello, little Kevin~"
Elysia eagerly said to the doll.
Elf kevin: ...
The elf didn't respond immediately, as if it was sulking with Elysia.
"Hmm...?"
Himeko couldn't help but feel puzzled, raising an eyebrow, looking at the doll, then at Elysia.
Elysia continued, a fawning smile on her face, "Come on, say something, or it'll be rude~"
Only then did he reluctantly say, "I don't want to talk."
His voice was clear and pleasant, a very standard little boy's voice.
"It can talk? Is this some new type of toy?"
Himeko couldn't help but laugh. She thought that the novel item Elysia brought for teaching seemed quite good. "Teacher Elysia is very thoughtful."
"Hehe, he has many more functions~"
Elysia said proudly, as if showing off, "You'll know how amazing he is during class tomorrow~"
"Really? Then I'll have to see for myself tomorrow."
Himeko responded with a smile.
Suddenly, she seemed to remember something important, "Oh, by the way, Teacher Elysia, do you want a separate dorm... or do you want to stay with us...?"
"Of course I want to be with you all, it's livelier with more people ♪~"
Elysia chose the option of staying together almost without thinking, excitedly.
She already liked being with everyone; a lively atmosphere was what she longed for.
"I see, there should still be rooms. I'll take you to tidy up tonight."
Himeko nodded, smiling.
"Okay then~"
Elysia happily agreed, thinking about living with everyone, she couldn't be happier... Soon, night fell.
At St. Freya, most students lived in individual rooms.
However, Kiana, Mei, and Bronya were special cases; they all needed care, so they lived with Theresa, Himeko, and Fu Hua.
"Wow, I didn't expect Teacher Elysia to come and live with us~"
Kiana sat casually on the sofa, and Elysia smiled as she sat beside her.
"I'm very happy too ♪~"
Elysia responded with a smile. Living with so many beautiful and cute girls, in her opinion, was the happiest thing in the world, wasn't it?
"Dinner's ready, everyone."
At this moment, Mei's clear voice came from the kitchen. Today was Mei's day to show off her cooking skills, and a certain white-haired Kiana immediately got excited; it was her happiest day again.
"I'm coming!"
Kiana rushed to the dining table like a gust of wind, her speed faster than a rocket.
Elysia also followed to the dining table and carefully tasted the dishes Mei had made.
After just one bite, her eyes lit up. "Wow~ Mei's cooking is quite excellent~"
Elysia praised without reservation, giving a thumbs up, and said with a sincere expression.
"Exactly, exactly, Mei's cooking is the best!"
Kiana, her mouth full, mumbled in agreement, continuously shoveling food into her mouth, her eating manners utterly unrefined.
"Idiot Kiana is such a glutton. It's Teacher Elysia's first time here today, and she's not even paying attention to her image."
Bronya mercilessly retorted. She sat quietly at the dining table, shaking her head helplessly at Kiana.
"Then Bronya, don't try to snatch it from me!"
Kiana immediately protested, unhappy, and reached out to guard the food in her bowl, afraid Bronya would take it.
This comical scene made everyone around them burst into laughter, and the whole house was filled with joyous sounds... "Himeko~ Can we play games together tonight?"
After dinner, Kiana looked at Himeko pitifully, her eyes full of pleading.
Seeing this, Himeko also felt a little soft-hearted, thinking that since Teacher Elysia had just arrived today, it was a special circumstance, so she said, "Alright, alright, it's special today, but pay attention to the time. We still have class tomorrow. Fu Hua, please help supervise."
"Okay, Teacher Himeko."
Fu Hua nodded, her expression serious, indicating she understood.
She was always like this, diligent and responsible, making people feel at ease.
After dinner, Elysia smiled and said to Fu Hua, "Fu Hua, let's go wash the dishes."
Fu Hua smiled and nodded in response, and the two of them began to clear the dishes and chopsticks together, heading towards the kitchen.
