Chapter 81: Things That Make One Strange, Bullet Comments Astonished

Ron casually circled around 32 Red Maple District several times, pretending to be nonchalant, but he found nothing and couldn’t help frowning slightly.

The owner of the house wasn’t present. Had she left?

‘Although it’s not yet certain whether Lily Hicks is connected to the death of the Red Moon Society’s people in Bild City, since she’s the only suspect right now, I can’t let her go. Even capturing her for torture would be acceptable.’

As he thought this, many instruments of interrogation surfaced in Ron’s mind. The Red Moon Society had always been quite adept in this area.

Especially when interrogating females, the variety of usable instruments could be even more numerous. Just thinking about them made Ron involuntarily lick his lips.

‘I, Ron Jopar, will definitely uncover the whole truth.’

With this thought, Ron concealed himself in the shadows, intending to wait for Amelia to return.

==========

White Maple Academy.

Amelia was conversing with Verna.

While talking, Amelia occasionally glanced at the bullet comments. This had become a habit for her, as the bullet comments sometimes mentioned important information.

Right now, Amelia saw information that caught her attention.

‘The scene shifted to another place?’

‘Someone is circling around my previous residence? A Red Moon Society member?’

‘Called Ron Jopar?’

Amelia watched the bullet comments, quickly absorbing the information within them.

As the scene shifted, the viewers could even hear the character’s inner thoughts. When the viewers sent what they heard through bullet comments, Amelia naturally learned everything.

Now, seeing the information presented, Amelia secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, she had already left her original residence. Otherwise, it would be troublesome if the other party discovered the situation.

Although she didn’t know what level of strength this Ron possessed, someone who dared to come investigate the annihilation of the Red Moon Society in Bild City couldn’t be weak.

“It’s getting late. I’ll head back first. Lily, we’ll see each other tomorrow.”

By now, the sky had darkened considerably. Verna glanced at the sky outside the window and said.

“Alright, see you tomorrow.” Amelia didn’t try to keep her.

At this moment, the bullet comments had disappeared. Amelia was experienced with this, knowing that for the viewers, the next scene would likely jump to some time later.

But Amelia’s own time wouldn’t skip. She could only wait until the corresponding time arrived for the bullet comments to reappear. She wanted to use the bullet comments to understand what Ron would do next.

This wait lasted several hours.

When Amelia had finished dinner and was bathing in the bathroom with Eileen, the bullet comments finally appeared.

【This guy cracks me up. Waited forever and didn’t see anyone, only then did he think to sneak inside and check the situation.】

【It’s normal he didn’t dare sneak directly into the house earlier. After all, he didn’t have detailed information about the target’s circumstances.】

【After discovering the homeowner was gone inside the house, the expression on his face was truly something. He also realized he’d waited for so long for nothing.】

【Oh ho, now he finally thinks to go out and ask people?】

【This neighbor is so damn nosy, actually telling him Amelia went to White Maple Academy.】

【A place like White Maple Academy, even if Ron knows, what can he do?】

Seeing the information in the various bullet comments, Amelia fell into thought.

Her location had indeed been discovered by the Red Moon Society people. But it didn’t matter. White Maple Academy was no ordinary place. Coupled with the recent death of Dwight, the security forces at White Maple Academy were stronger than usual. Even Red Moon Society members wouldn’t have an easy solution.

Amelia continued watching the bullet comments, wanting to see if any more news came through.

However, in just the blink of an eye, the tone of the bullet comments changed completely.

【Hehehe, look what I found.】

【Ah… why didn’t the scene switch over earlier? How much footage did I miss?】

【Who wants to watch that middle-aged Red Moon guy? I want to see beautiful girls, I want to see Amelia and Eileen.】

【They’re bathing, slurp slurp.】

【Damn it, why is there always Holy Light!】

【It’s fine, just hearing the sound of running water satisfies me. I can even eat three big bowls of rice with this!】

Amelia: “…”

Forget this bath.

A short while later, Amelia, dressed in her pajamas, came to the bedroom.

Although the student dormitory had a bedroom specifically for the maid’s rest, Eileen still slept together with Amelia.

After lying in bed, Amelia thought about everything since she had crossed over, every bit and piece, until she unknowingly drifted off to sleep.

Beside her, Eileen gently lay down next to Amelia.

At that moment, Eileen recalled the book Self-Cultivation of a Maid she had read. It said that as a maid, one must properly cherish one’s master, and there were many methods of cherishing. When sleeping, it was to hold one’s master tightly.

Thinking of this, Eileen felt somewhat hesitant. Her past common sense told her this didn’t seem like something a maid should do, but that book Self-Cultivation of a Maid indeed said so.

She couldn’t have remembered it wrong, could she?

Looking at Amelia beside her, Eileen reached out and pulled open the drawer of the bedside table, retrieving Self-Cultivation of a Maid, which she had placed inside.

She hadn’t finished reading the entire book yet. She flipped to the latest chapter she’d read and reconfirmed the content.

‘I didn’t misread it after all. A maid truly must properly cherish her master… But why does the book use the title “Master” and not “Young Master” or “Miss”?’

Eileen thought about it but couldn’t figure it out, so she simply stopped thinking.

She placed the book back on the bedside table, then turned over and gently embraced Amelia in her arms.

‘So soft!’

This was Eileen’s sensation upon holding Amelia.

So soft, and so comfortable.

Holding her, Eileen gradually fell asleep.

==========

The next day.

The weather was somewhat gloomy. A cool breeze swept through White Maple Academy, stirring up the fallen leaves on the ground, spinning them twice in the air before letting them slowly settle down again.

When Amelia woke up, she found herself being tightly held by Eileen and couldn’t help blinking.

‘Why is Eileen holding me so tightly today? This never happened before when I woke up. How strange.’

With this thought, Amelia stirred slightly.

Just that simple movement was enough to jolt Eileen awake instantly.

“Miss Lily, you’re awake.”

“Hmm, I’m awake. Good morning, Eileen.”

“Good morning, Miss Lily. I’ll go prepare breakfast right away.”

Upon waking, Eileen naturally let go of Amelia and immediately got out of bed first to prepare breakfast.

Seeing Eileen’s attentive demeanor, Amelia couldn’t help but smile slightly. No matter when, having Eileen by her side always felt reassuring.

Thinking this, Amelia raised her hands and stretched lazily.

“This is…”

Just then, Amelia noticed the book on the bedside table.

Self-Cultivation of a Maid?

Seeing the title on the cover, Amelia couldn’t help but smile slightly. She knew Eileen was constantly studying how to be a good maid. She was truly working hard.

Thinking this, she also picked up the book and flipped through it.

As she read, she began to feel that this book seemed slightly off. Why did the content inside always make her feel it wasn’t something a normal maid should do?

As if something occurred to her, Amelia quickly flipped to the last few pages and read them.

“As a maid, you must please your Master. Occasionally wearing cat ears and a cat tail and meowing can bring joy to Master’s body and mind.”

“As a maid, when facing a Master who isn’t proactive enough, you must learn to take the initiative yourself. At such times, Master will say ‘No, no,’ but you must remember this is not Master’s true wish. Saying no means yes. Therefore, you must be even more proactive and complete the subsequent steps.”

“As a maid…”

After reading a few pages, Amelia’s expression couldn’t help but become dazed.

This… This was the book Eileen was reading?

Amelia flipped back to the book’s cover and looked at it again. Gazing at the line Self-Cultivation of a Maid, a realization dawned in her heart.

This wasn’t some proper maid tutorial at all, but one of those improper, special books. If one continued reading this, it would gradually make a normal person become abnormal.

Eileen buying this book certainly wasn’t because she wanted to become an improper maid. Eileen must have been deceived by the book title, thinking it was a proper book.

‘Should I point out the problem with this book to Eileen? But directly pointing it out would embarrass her, wouldn’t it? It’d be more suitable to let her notice the issue herself, right?’

Amelia pondered.

She thought about Eileen’s behavior all along, and then thought about Eileen’s future achievements, and felt reassured.

Eileen was the future Sword Saint, her heart undoubtedly incredibly steadfast. How could she possibly be shaken by a book like this? When Eileen discovered something was wrong, she would definitely silently dispose of this book. She didn’t need to do anything extra.

With that thought, Amelia placed the book back in its original spot.

==========

After breakfast, Amelia went alone to the teaching building.

She arrived at the classroom specifically for teaching the harp. The classroom was very spacious, with large harps, each as tall as a person, arranged there. At this moment, quite a few students were already gathered, chatting among themselves.

Having just enrolled, Amelia barely knew anyone and didn’t engage in conversation after entering the classroom.

Seeing there was still some time before class began, Amelia stepped out of the classroom and headed to the adjacent Culture Department’s teaching building.

At White Maple Academy, every department had its own separate teaching building. The Culture Department’s building was right next to the Art Department.

Amelia arrived at the Foreign Language Department classroom in the Culture Department building and glanced inside.

Sitting in the classroom, Verna seemed to sense something. She looked up and, seeing it was Amelia, immediately got up and walked over.

As Verna rose, many students’ gazes inevitably fell on her. Even though Verna’s status among the princes and princesses was relatively low, in the eyes of others, she was still the noble Her Highness the Princess.

Seeing Verna walk towards Amelia, many started whispering among themselves.

“I know that person. She’s supposedly a distant relative of the Hicks Family, called Lily Hicks.”

“I heard that when Her Highness the Princess was captured some time ago, it was Lily Hicks who accidentally discovered it and notified the Security Office for the rescue. So it’s not strange that they know each other.”

“That person is so lucky. If only I had been the one to accidentally discover Her Highness back then.”

As Verna approached, Amelia lowered her voice: “Does everyone know about how I saved you back then?”

Verna nodded. “The outside world doesn’t know yet, but you understand—the students at White Maple Academy are all from wealthy or noble backgrounds, so some news reaches them.”

Amelia understood.

She didn’t mind this. It was even better if others knew the reason she and Verna were acquainted. This meant her seeking out Verna wouldn’t cause people to speculate too much.

“What did you want to see me about?” Verna asked quietly.

“There’s news about the Red Moon Society,” Amelia said, glancing around. Her voice was very low, only audible to the two of them.

“What news?” Verna’s expression turned serious.

They walked along the corridor outside. There was no one else around.

Amelia whispered, “My subordinate received word. It’s confirmed that a Red Moon Society member arrived in Bild City yesterday and went to my residence on Red Maple District to look for me. But he didn’t find me, though he learned I’m at White Maple Academy. Oh, and the person’s name is Ron Jopar.”

Hearing this, Verna was somewhat surprised. She hadn’t expected Amelia’s people to discover the Red Moon Society member as soon as he arrived, even figuring out his full name. Wasn’t this efficiency a bit too high?

She had actually also assigned her own people to investigate the Red Moon Society, but no news had come back yet.

‘Those subordinates of Amelia’s that I’ve never seen seem quite formidable. Is this the power of the former Queen? Her forces must have already gathered many people, a true colossus.’

Verna thought secretly, gaining a deeper understanding of the means Amelia possessed.

In her view, Amelia was the type who didn’t act often but stunned everyone when she did. Sooner or later, she would shock all her opponents.

But right now, the most shocked ones were undoubtedly the viewers.

【Strange, how does Amelia know about Ron’s side of things? I don’t recall her having any contact with this matter.】

【Ron only arrived yesterday. What channel could Amelia possibly have to know?】

【She not only knows Ron arrived, but also that he went to her residence, and even knows Ron’s full name?】

【I feel like something’s not quite right here.】

【Did we accidentally overlook something?】

【Don’t tell me Amelia can see the bullet comments.】

Amelia silently watched the bullet comments.

Seeing the confusion revealed in comment after comment, she wasn’t surprised.

In fact, she had done this intentionally.
