Cecilia looked at Lady Hilfalia with a puzzled expression, then glanced at Qiu Bi a few times, a hint of surprise and uncertainty flashing in her eyes.
During the group's visit to Fogsea Manor, something seems to have happened between Qiu Bi and Lady Hilfaria.
Cecilia keenly noticed this, and her gaze toward Qiu Bi suddenly became very sharp, almost scrutinizing.
Lady Hilfalia unfolded her folding fan and then replied softly, "Ms. Cecilia, I was indeed not wearing this outfit just now—I accidentally got the other outfit dirty, so I changed into another one."
"Did you get it dirty?"
Cecilia seemed to be thinking of something, and gave Qiu Bi a meaningful look.
Qiu Bi ignored it and subtly looked away.
"Now that you've decided on your accommodation, I'll be going now—there are still many things to take care of at the academy."
Theresa, aren't you going to sit for a while?
"No need. Cecilia, what have you thought about what I mentioned to you before?"
"Of course, no problem. When can I come and help you?"
"Let's wait a few days. You can stay at St. Freya Academy for a few days and get used to life here before coming to help me."
sound off.
Theresa waved and then left gracefully.
However, not long after, Theresa awkwardly returned the way she came.
"Um...where is the exit?"
Lady Hilfalia smiled slightly, then instructed a mist maid to lead Theresa away from the Fog Sea Manor.
After Theresa left, Lady Hilfalia personally led everyone to choose rooms.
Apart from Shigure Kira, the other three members of the Snow Wolf Squad chose to stay away from Qiu Bi and the others' bedroom.
As for why they should stay away from Qiu Bi and the others' bedrooms...
The main reason was that they didn't want to be woken up in the middle of the night by the sounds and noises coming from Qiu Bi's bedroom.
Patrick, Shub, and Salome didn't understand Shigure Kira's thoughts at first, but after realizing that Shigure Kira liked Qiu Bi, they suddenly understood.
"What's that expression on your face?"
Shigure Kira realized something was wrong and looked at Patrick, Shub, and Salome with a puzzled expression.
The three seemed unable to look directly at Shigure Kira, and as Shigure Kira shifted her gaze, they also looked elsewhere.
In an instant, Shiyu Qiluo became certain of her inner guess.
Patrick, Shub, and Salome must be hiding something from her.
Unfortunately, no matter how much Shigure Kira pressed, Patrick, Shub, and Salome all claimed to know nothing.
……
With their daughters all staying at St. Freya Academy, Qiu Bi and the others' lives became much easier and more mundane, not to mention the many mist maids who took care of them.
At first, Bella had some competitive thoughts, but after discovering that Fogsea Manor was very large, she gave up the idea of continuing to work as a maid.
Rather than wasting time on "maid work," she would rather spend more time with Qiu Bi and only reclaim her "maid" identity at night.
Therefore, Qiu Bi and others began a leisurely "retirement life", spending their days either sunbathing on the beach or enjoying the natural scenery in the forest.
This is an uninhabited island, and few boats pass by nearby, so Qiu Bi and his group don't need to worry about being seen.
In contrast, the girls living at St. Freya Academy are faced with a cram school life that can only be described as "hellish".
Every new student takes an entrance exam at the beginning of the semester. While the score of this exam does not affect whether or not they are admitted, it serves as a way for teachers to get to know the new students.
It is worth mentioning that the "entrance exam" not only includes a "written test" but also a "practical test".
Girls often have some degree of "unevenness" in their studies, whether it's a lack of "practical skills," a lack of "written tests," or a lack of proficiency in both.
And so, the girls began their intense "exam preparation".
A few girls not only excelled academically but also possessed considerable combat abilities, so there was no need to worry about the St. Freya Academy's "entrance exam".
—For example, Raiden Mei, Anne, Kiana, and Bianca.
Penglai Temple Jiuxiao's results are quite good, so there's no need to worry about the "written test"; instead, they need to consider the "practical test."
Therefore, Hōraiji Kyushō decisively chose to sign a magical girl contract and become a magical girl.
In addition, Hōraiji Kyushō naturally gave herself the title of "Savior Magical Girl".
Considering that Penglai Temple Nine Sou had displayed exceptional talent, Xilin did not refute anything and chose to accept Penglai Temple Nine Sou's self-proclaimed title.
Rosalia is the only one who is not good at either, and receives academic tutoring from Kiana and practical training from Bianca.
As for Lilia, Bronya, and Seele...
These three girls have excellent grades, so they don't need to worry about the "written test," but they do need to worry about the "real test."
Therefore, Angeline and Raiden Mei were responsible for training these three girls.
Before the formal tutoring sessions began, Sirin took the girls to the small island where the Fog Sea Manor was located, mainly so that Qiu Bi could endow the girls with suitable abilities so that they could achieve good results in the "entrance exam".
Wow! This is my new home? It's huge!
This was Rosalia's first sentence upon seeing the Fogsea Manor.
Upon hearing this, Lilia feigned disdain and said, "Silly Rosalia, don't make a fuss. It makes you seem like you've never seen anything like this before."
Chapter 162 Rosalia is studying diligently
Faced with Lilia's feigned disdain, Rosalia was naturally not to be outdone and immediately retorted with sharp words.
"Lilia is the biggest idiot! She's never even lived in a house this big herself, yet she says I'm ignorant!"
"Fool."
"Lilia, you're the big idiot!"
"Idiot. Idiot who failed the exam."
"I...I'm not an idiot who failed the exam! I...I deliberately failed so you would feel accomplished and not end up at the bottom of the class!"
At this point, Rosalia seemed to have convinced herself, and her expression suddenly became very proud, as if it were truly the case.
Lilia didn't say much to this, only calling out "idiot" as always.
Rosalia was annoyed, but she stopped arguing.
"Rosalia, Lilia, come here quickly!"
Sirin placed her hands around her mouth, making a megaphone shape, and called out loudly for Rosalia and Lilia.
Upon hearing this, Rosalia and Lilia quickly followed the others and ran into the Mist Sea Manor.
Qiu Bi did not show favoritism and treated each girl equally, endowing them with the physical attributes equivalent to a C-rank Valkyrie.
This "getting something for nothing" behavior immediately made Rosalia arrogant, to the point that she began to believe that she was a "genius beauty" who was one in a million.
"Hmph~ Lilia, Rosalia is a genius!"
“You idiot Rosalia, all your sisters received abilities from Daddy. This isn’t a special privilege just for you.”
"But according to my parents, Rosalia is now a C-rank Valkyrie!"
"Rosalia is such a big idiot. Apart from Bronya, all her other sisters have become C-rank Valkyries."
"Huh? So... everyone gets the same treatment?"
"Of course, only a fool like Rosalia would think she's a 'genius'."
Hearing Lilia's words, Rosalia was deeply hurt and became very depressed.
Seeing this, Lilia gently patted Rosalia's shoulder, as if reminding her, or perhaps comforting her, and whispered, "Rosalia, didn't Daddy say that if you can get good grades in the 'entrance exam,' you can ask Daddy for a 'gift,' so..."
Lilia chuckled encouragingly at Rosalia, "Rosalia, you have to do your best!"
"Huh? Lilia, you...don't you want Daddy's present?"
“Of course I want it, but compared to me, silly Rosalia obviously needs Daddy’s gift more.” Lilia continued with a smile, “At least Rosalia should become a little smarter after receiving Daddy’s gift.”
Rosalia is Lilia's "older sister," so naturally Lilia wouldn't compete with Rosalia for these things.
Not to mention, Lilia is very satisfied with her current life and would not fight over Qiu Bi's "gift".
If Lilia was like this, the other girls were the same.
Whenever Rosalia explicitly expresses her desire for Qiu Bi's "gift," the other girls will "go easy" on her, thus helping Rosalia achieve good results.
The girls wouldn't help Rosalia casually; Rosalia needed to prove that she genuinely wanted Qiu Bi's "gift," which was for her to work hard to improve her grades.
When Rosalia proves she's willing to study hard for the "gift," the girls don't mind lending her a hand.
……
Lilia's words seemed to inspire Rosalia, causing her to begin studying frantically.
Rosalia studied very diligently, whether it was academic tutoring or practical training.
All of this was observed by the other girls.
However, although Rosalia studied very hard, her efficiency was not very high, resulting in slow progress.
"You idiot Rosalia, don't bury yourself in your studies all the time. Taking a break is essential."
Lilia gently placed a cup of milk tea on Rosalia's desk.
Rosalia didn't look up; she was diligently working on her problems.
"Lilia, don't disturb me—I'm afraid that if I start to rest, I might find it difficult to continue studying diligently."
"But your efficiency in studying so hard is too low, and it will affect your schedule."
"Hmph! Rosalia is a C-rank Valkyrie, so staying up late occasionally won't affect her health."
Rosalia let out a smug sound and started working on the problem a few points faster.
Lilia glanced at her discreetly. Rosalia was fast at solving problems, but her accuracy was less than impressive.
"Rosalia, I suggest you rest for a while, otherwise I'll have to get Sister Sirin to come and punish you."
