[The Seven Mysteries: The Plaster Statues in the Art Studio] has been discovered.
Side quest completed (2/7)
Gu Xinghe "personally" experienced being beheaded using the "empathy" function.
At that moment, he finally heard the long-lost mechanical electronic voice in his ears.
As he walked back to the classroom with Rekaya, he touched his neck again with his free hand.
The overly realistic experience even made him feel somewhat uneasy now that he has a normal head and body again.
"Don't stare at that plaster statue in the art room for too long."
According to a popular campus legend, watching it for too long can kill you.
It would be such a waste if they didn't die because we ate them.
"Okay, I'll accept your unique concern."
Nodding, Gu Xinghe calmly agreed to Rekaya's words.
"Speaking of which, besides the plaster statue, are there any other rumors circulating on campus?"
"There must be a lot more, right?"
Lekaya wasn't surprised by Gu Xinghe's seemingly deliberate question; she simply tilted her head and thought about it for a moment.
"After all, this is one of the unique features of our school."
As if she had thought of something funny, Lekaya smiled slightly.
Upon hearing this, Gu Xinghe felt that he completely understood, just like the law-abiding city of Gotham.
If other schools have seven wonders, then Dawn Boarding School should have seventy wonders.
...
Flocks of white doves flew out from the clock tower and landed on the teaching building on the left.
Among them were several pigeons that had separated from their companions, perched on the trees by the pond, behind which stood a small, grand auditorium.
Back in the classroom, Gu Xinghe watched as the beautified Dawn Boarding School gradually took shape under Rekaya's paintbrush.
The white doves on the blackboard even have a dynamic feel of flapping their wings and flying in the air.
Although, based on Gu Xinghe's previous observations, what flew out of the clock tower were not white doves, but black birds.
But at this moment, the gloomy and depressing atmosphere of the campus that appeared before Gu Xinghe was gone, and instead seemed relaxed and comfortable.
Although it makes it seem a bit irresponsible of Rekaya to do everything from wiping away old content to creating new content all by herself.
However, when he asked the other party if they needed help, he received the same negative answer as before.
So now, all Gu Xinghe can do is help hand the girl the paint she needs or clean her paintbrushes.
However, if he really goes forward to help.
The two people's completely different drawing styles may only make this blackboard bulletin board look a bit out of place.
At this moment, the girl, engrossed in painting, seemed completely absorbed in her own creative world.
The last rays of the setting sun shone through the window onto her.
The soft, golden sunlight danced and twirled on her shoulders and hair like little sprites.
This is different from her usual gentle and slightly aloof demeanor.
The girl, who was focused on her painting, now had a rare look of dedication, and her brows were also unusually relaxed.
It's different from the relaxation you get from resting after being tired or eating after being hungry.
This mental relaxation is the joy an author feels when they see their work gradually taking shape and blossoming with their own unique style.
The golden sunlight shone on the blackboard, and the school depicted by Rekaya's drawing seemed to come alive at that moment.
It was a campus filled with fragrant flowers and overflowing sunshine.
The quiet atmosphere did not make Gu Xinghe feel neglected.
I felt a sense of relief, as if the tension I had been feeling since entering this campus instance had finally been released for a moment.
Just then, light footsteps approached from outside the classroom door, and Gu Xinghe turned to look—
"Hey there! Your personal courier Carol has delivered the goods to your door!"
A knock sounded at the door, but Lekaya remained engrossed in her painting.
She put down her paintbrush only after the last stroke was completed.
Then, when she turned around and saw that the person entering the classroom was her older sister, a faint smile appeared on her face.
At that moment, Carol was holding three boxes in her hands.
It looked exactly like the bento box that Chef Camo had been holding in the cafeteria earlier.
"Is the new blackboard bulletin board finished? It's so well drawn, as expected of Lekaya!"
Carol put the food box aside and walked over to pick up Rekaya, who was sitting on the cabinet drawing.
Just like when Rekaya, seemingly frail, could easily jump onto the cabinet.
Although she doesn't look strong, Carol's seemingly thin arms can easily lift her younger sister.
And it seems to be to celebrate Lekaya's creation of another excellent work.
After lifting Rekaya down, Carol even put her arm around Rekaya's waist and started spinning around laughing.
[Carol's boyfriend-like qualities are just too strong!]
Listening to the complaints from the live stream, Gu Xinghe felt like he had lost in some way.
But then he remembered what had just happened.
Compared to the girl who threw herself into his arms, Carol was probably on par with him, or perhaps he was slightly better.
...
After Carol opened the three food boxes in her hands to show that she was bringing food to the two people who were engrossed in their creative work.
Gu Xinghe was not surprised to see Rekaya, who had been doing physical labor for a long time, happily looking at the food in Carol's hands.
The dishes served at dinner were not much different from those served at lunch.
Not only Rekaya, but Carol also stared with shining eyes at the only piece of meat in the lunchbox after opening it.
With Elaine no longer present, the two sisters now had their own share of meat.
Their desire to seize the stewed meat in Gu Xinghe's lunchbox remained almost undisguised.
But perhaps Elaine's usual "prestige" still lingered, because even Carol could only stare longingly at the meat in his food box.
On the other side, although the expression on his face was not obvious.
However, Gu Xinghe could easily see that Rekaya's gaze was almost always moving in sync with the way he forked the meat.
So, quite naturally, Gu Xinghe fed Carol the stewed meat he had forked into her mouth, and began feeding her without hesitation.
"tasty!"
Unsurprisingly, the two carnivorous girls did not resist Gu Xinghe's feeding.
She even moved a little closer to Gu Xinghe to make it easier for him to move around.
Wasting food is naturally not allowed in schools, but without teacher Elaine "keeping an eye on" it...
Gu Xinghe, who is always ready to help others, decided to share the delicious food with those who need it more.
Perhaps as a gesture of reciprocity, the girls also fed Gu Xinghe a lot of the vegetables from their lunchboxes.
Although he felt it was simply because neither of them really liked vegetables.
