the next day.
"You're going back to school today, so make sure you get along well with your classmates. If you have any questions, go ask Eileen; she's quite popular at school."
Lina patiently instructed Fagga, bending down to straighten Fagga's collar: "Also, you should pay attention to your appearance when you're out and about."
"Understood, Lina."
Fagga's eyes darted towards the kitchen, and she whispered, "I still need to give some to Mr. Lykan and the others..."
"Shh!"
Lina put a finger to her lips, closed one eye, and before Fagga could even speak, she continued:
"You can't be distracted when you're getting ready. If you're not attractive enough to get a girl's attention, you're not a good gentleman."
"Alright, with a face like his, how could he not attract girls' attention?"
As Eileen passed by, she rolled her eyes, grabbed Faga's arm, and without turning around, Faga could only see her long, flowing hair. He heard her stammer, "Hey, let's go. I'll be late for class today if I don't drive!"
"And Lina, she didn't even offer to straighten my collar or anything."
Eileen's voice grew softer and softer, which made Lina chuckle gently and say, "Didn't I comb your hair too?"
After saying that, Lina turned back and gently patted Fagga's shoulders with both hands, looked up at the proud child, and smiled with satisfaction: "Go on, have fun at school."
"Eileen, you too, you must study hard at school."
"ah?"
Eileen turned around abruptly, leaned close to Fagar, and poked his face with her fingertip, saying resentfully, "How come he's having so much fun? Lina, you're being unfair!"
"If Ellen can make the area of the hexagon on the report card a little bigger, I wish Ellen a lot of fun."
Lina smiled slightly, but Ellen felt that there was a hint of murderous intent in Lina's narrowed eyes, and she suddenly shivered.
She quickly opened the door, grabbed Fagga's arm, and ran outside, shouting, "Goodbye, Lina! We're off to class!"
Whew~
Eileen moved as fast as the wind; in the time it took for the door to be pulled open and then bounce back off the wall, they were already out of sight at the end of the street.
Lina shook her head and chuckled, then went back inside and closed the door.
Her expression immediately changed, and she looked pleasantly surprised, raising her delicate hands to her chest and clenching them into small fists.
"Hmm, very good. Fagar didn't even have time to make breakfast before Eileen dragged him out!"
"Hmph! Today is the head maid's cooking time... What kind of breakfast should I prepare for Lord Lycan and little Colleen..."
"Hmm... how about making the meat congee I secretly learned from Fagga... but wouldn't just meat be too greasy? Should I add some cauliflower? And for extra nutrition, should I also boil an egg?"
"...How about adding more MSG for seasoning! And finally top it with cheese."
"It's done!"
Lina lifted the pot lid, inhaling the delightful aroma of the potion she had concocted, her hands excitedly clasped together, her captivating eyes brimming with joy.
After a while, she remembered that the fire under the pot hadn't been turned off. She quickly turned it off and clenched her right fist to cheer herself up.
"Go Lina! This time, breakfast will definitely be even more delicious than Fagga's!"
"Sniff... does a new smell suddenly appear in the air?"
...
After getting off the bus and walking a short distance, Ellen and Fagja finally arrived at the school. Following their memory of the place, they turned a few corners and listened to the crickets chirping in the trees from the ground floor to the second floor. Finally, they returned to their classroom.
"Hey, do you mean it'll be a few more days before Fagia and Ellen come back to school?"
"I don't know, there's absolutely no news."
"Open for trading! I'm betting on tomorrow or the day after!"
"Are you so sure?"
"Of course, without Fagga, our class's average score dropped by almost four points in every subject, making us the worst in the entire grade! Yesterday, I passed by the office and saw our homeroom teacher looking at our class's average score, almost crying."
"Really? But how did you confirm the time, class monitor?"
"Oh, because I just saw the homeroom teacher staring blankly at his computer, muttering to himself that if Fagga doesn't come today, he'll make a home visit tonight."
