After having my time chatting with Restia and the others, I ended the call after an unwilling parting with them.

    When I realized it, it was already 10.17 pm.

    Man, I was on the phone for more than two hours…?!

    Before going to sleep, there''s one thing I should do…

    "Let''s see…"

    While getting myself in a sitting position, I activated my screen to search for Persia''s contact through the administrative files.

    Come to think of it, she doesn''t have my contact…

    Better find her through the IKAssembly (Imperial Knights Assembly) app instead of email.

    ''Dear Persia Silverlight, this is Lucifer Nightwalker von Nightmare here. Please bring what''s left of your fellow classmates to the White Mansion tomorrow by 10am.''

    Oh, my chat box turned from blue to green. She saw my message.

    ''How''d u get my phone no.?''

    ''It''s a stalker, pervert!''

    ''I''m scared!''

    ''Terrified!''

    ''A sticker of a perverted-looking wolf tearing the clothes of red riding hood.''

    ...I wondered where did she found this kind of sticker.

    ''Who would ever want to stalk you?!'' I typed.

    ''There''s nothing attractive on you!''

    ''Oh. Is that so.'' She replied.

    ''A sticker of a sad carrot.''

    ''A sticker of a depressed rabbit facing the corner of the wall.''

    ''Don''t be sad, Persia'' I typed.

    ''I''m sure there''s someone out there willing to stalk you.''

    ''A sticker of a shocked rabbit.'' She immediately replied.

    ''Stop saying that!''

    ''It''s scary!''

    ''U even added a full stop punctuation''

    ''And besides''

    ''You WERE depressed?'' I typed.

    ''Hmm''

    ''I never knew you were the type to get depressed easily''

    ''Maybe you could consider some plastic surgery''

    ''A sticker of a blonde hair girl pouting with a Hmph.'' She replied.

    ''Meanie!''

    ''Btw''

    ''Did u perhaps come to find me because u missed me?''

    ''Of course not'' I typed.

    ''Because you are the only one in S Class I''m more familiar with'' I texted.

    ''I…'' She replied.

    ''I''m not particularly happy with this, u know?''

    ''A sticker of a girl blushing with her eyes closed, seeming shy.''

    ''Are u perhaps trying to make me happy so u could hope to have the chance to see a photo of me wearing a red lace see-through nightgown?''

    She''s also wearing a nightgown in her sleep…?

    ''U are imagining it, right~''

    ''Nope'' I quickly texted.

    ''Not at all''

    ''What do u mean ''modest''!?'' She texted.

    ''I, have at least a D!''

    ''My dear Persia'' I replied.

    ''I was talking about your height''

    ''Your 166cm height''

    ''Not your bust size''

    ''I''m not short!'' She replied.

    ''Eh?''

    ''How did u know my height?''

    ''Are you perhaps'' Persia quickly typed.

    ''…A siscon?''

    ''Because''

    ''My little brother is a siscon''

    ''A sticker of a rabbit looking half dead.''

    I was utterly surprised.

    ''That''s news to me'' I replied.

    ''Did your little brother say anything about''

    ''Don''t go near to any guy''

    ''Or wanting to take a bath with you whenever he had the chance to''

    ''A surprised emoji.'' Persia replied almost instantly.

    ''Are u perhaps, a psychic?''

    ''Or is it''

    ''That your little sister is a brocon''

    ''Persia, there''s only one thing I could say to you'' I typed.

    ''I understand your pain.''

    ''Again'' Persia quickly replied.

    ''U used a full stop again''

    ''Then again''

    ''I understand your pain as well.''

    ''Then?'' I typed.

    ''Did your little brother stop you from coming here alone?''

    ''Eh'' Persia replied.

    ''It''s the same for u as well?''

    ''It was hard for me''

    ''I had to beat him up myself in order to come here''

    ''A sticker of a rabbit sighing, seeming bewildered.''

    ''Hmm'' I replied.

    ''Perhaps this is the good point of being a big sister''

    ''What do u mean?'' Persia replied.

    ''You could beat him up'' I texted.

    ''I can''t possibly beat up my cute little sister''

    ''It''s just''

    ''Impossible for me''

    ''Maybe this is the privilege of being a girl'' Persia replied.

    ''My little brother wouldn''t dare to lay a hand on me either''

    ''Come to think of it''

    ''U are the first guy I had ever talked to''

    ''I wonder what would my little brother do when he sees u''

    ''Kill me, perhaps?'' I texted.

    ''My little sis has been urging to kill you too''

    ''?'' Persia replied.

    ''How do u know?''

    ''I thought we weren''t allowed to make any contacts outside this island''

    Ah, crap. I messed up.

    ''Through my intuition, of course'' I replied.

    ''If your little brother knows about my existence''

    ''He would be urging to kill me as well''

    ''Without a doubt'' Persia replied.

    ''A sticker of a poker face stickman stabbing a smaller stickman with a knife.''

    ''Also'' I replied.

    ''What do you mean I''m the first guy you talked to''

    ''Are your male classmates dead?''

    ''Erm'' Persia texted.

    ''A sticker of a girl fidgeting her fingers.''

    ''Because u are the only person who came to me without having an ill purpose?''

    ''It makes me feel''

    ''At peace, for once''

    ''I have been greeted by noble families that came to me with a purpose''

    ''Wealth & status''

    ''These are two things etched deeply into the name of Silverlight''

    ''That everyone wants to get their hands on''

    ''After u met with so many types of these people''

    ''U could tell immediately''

    ''This person is here plotting something''

    ''Even if they aren''t at first''

    ''They would eventually succumb to that name''

    ''But u are different''

    ''U don''t care about such trivial matters''

    ''U would look at Persia''

    ''Not Persia Silverlight''

    ''Hehe'' I replied.

    ''Now I''m getting embarrassed, Persia"

    ''I didn''t know you think so highly of me''

    ''Kuroyuki even told me you used to be straight and serious''

    ''When you are working with her at the Student Council''

    ''I used to be?'' Persia replied.

    ''How rude''

    ''A sticker of a blonde girl pouting.''

    ''It''s just that''

    ''It feels better to take off that mask''

    ''It''s because of Kuroyuki that I start to believe that I could make friends here''

    ''I''m really grateful for that''

    ''So that''s how you became friends with Sherry?'' I texted.

    ''What about August, Blaze, Kronos & Rumelia?''

    ''They don''t seem to care about wealth and status''

    ''I know u would talk to them''

    ''Just that''

    ''Not as close as Sherry or Kuroyuki''

    ''A sticker of a rabbit in shock.'' Persia quickly replied.

    ''I see''

    ''No wonder my charm didn''t work on u''

    ''I''M NOT GAY'' I texted before she could continue.

    ''I 100% HAVE A NORMAL SEX PREFERENCE''

    ''But'' Persia replied.

    "But but''

    ''But but but''

    ''ENOUGH WITH THE BUTS ALREADY'' I texted.

    ''But u seem interested in those guys instead of me or Sherry'' Persia finally typed.

    ''It''s okay''

    ''Maybe u are interested in Rumelia?''

    ''I mean''

    ''She had the largest bust''

    ''It''s no wonder that u were interested in her''

    ''Ah''

    ''U might''ve a chance to steal her heart before Kronos, no?''

    ''A sticker of a girl giving thumbs up.''

    ''Persia'' I typed.

    ''You do know it only takes less than 1 second for my hand to slap your face, right?''

    ''Yes'' Persia replied.

    ''Persia knew very clearly''

    ''It''s not like''

    ''U could slap me now~''

    ''You do know I could always do it tomorrow, right?'' I typed.

    ''......'' Persia replied.

    ''Erm''

    ''Please forgive me?''

    ''Can I say no?'' I replied.

    ''…I understand'' Persia typed.

    ''I will bring a marker tomorrow''

    ''My body is all yours''

    ''U could write any ?bs??n? things u want on my body''

    ''Congratulations, Persia'' I replied.

    ''You just earned yourself another slap''

    ''Be prepared tomorrow''

    ''Nooooooooooooooo'' Persia texted.

    ‘I’m sorryyyyyyyyyyyy’

    ‘Please forgive Persiaaaaaaaaaaaa’

    ''A sticker of a cute bear in tears pleading for forgiveness.''

    ''Sure'' I texted.

    ''After the two slaps''

    ''Then you are free to go''

    ''Meanie!'' Persia replied.

    ''A sticker of a blonde girl pouting with a Hmph!''

    ''Anyways, Persia'' I texted.

    ''The small talk aside''

    ''You have something you want to tell me, no?''

    ''…………'' Persia replied.

    ''Did I?''

    "I forgot.''

    ''Is that so?'' I replied.

    ''Then''

    ''See you tomorrow''

    ''Goodnight, Persia''

    ''Goodnight~'' Persia texted.

    ''Ah''

    ''Before u sleep''

    ''Do u perhaps''

    ''Want to see me in my nightgown~?''

    ''Sure'' I replied.

    ''I will be sure''

    ''To keep it safe and sound with me''

    ''Bleh~'' Persia replied.

    ''In your dreams~''

    ''Then''

    ''See you tomorrow.''

    With that, our conversation finally ended.

    Man… really?

    …Persia''s in trouble.

    I hope it was just my guess, but it doesn''t seem like it.

    It seems she knew that her device was hacked, but she had no way to deal with it. So she had to tell me in such a roundabout way.

    Even if I told her I would see her tomorrow, she needed to make another confirmation by asking me again.

    Indeed, the basement is the best place for it.

    Even if her device is hacked— nothing would reach that basement.. Not even magic.
