5. What does a sense of superiority mean~

So many death scripts suddenly emerged, and since they were all still quite vague, I didn’t immediately tell Ke Fei Er, wanting to spare her the unnecessary entanglement and worry. After packing the necessary luggage for this trip, Ke Fei Er and I smoothly entered the capital of the Rosia Empire, home to the most prestigious academy in Rosia—Lubyanka Academy.

After all, Ke Fei Er wasn’t just here for the “treasure.” The idea of obtaining the Thunder Fairy, Zhou Si, was more mine, while Ke Fei Er chose to escape from the Queen’s clutches to the Rosia Empire partly because she held the status of a foreign exchange student at Lubyanka Academy! As the climate in Rosia entered the cold season around December, Lubyanka Academy was also approaching its “finals.” Even though Ke Fei Er was already a favored daughter of heaven, as a third-year student, she still had to complete her final tests at the academy.

As graduation approached at Lubyanka Academy, the students were all busy with their studies, and no one paid much attention to the appearance of Ke Fei Er and me. However, I still underestimated Lei Di’s capabilities. Just as I had accompanied Ke Fei Er to the female dormitory to drop off her luggage, and was heading to my dorm to drop off my own, I opened the door to what should have been my room shared with my good roommate—He Lu Xiaof—only to see…

“Big Brother!”

With golden twin ponytails, the moment I appeared, the Emperor of the Rosia Empire—Ivan Lei Di—came barreling towards me like a little cannonball. As for my good roommate He Lu Xiaof? He was still standing guard in the corner, as stiff as a Siberian wolf cavalryman!

“Ahem… Lei Di, easy there.”

“I remember when I left Rodma! You really came as promised!”

Seeing how excited she was to see me, Lei Di knocked me off balance with her enthusiasm! I took another look at the script…

【Ivan Lei Di had anticipated the whereabouts of Ou Qi Li De and was waiting here!】

So this little midget had been waiting for quite some time, not even giving me a moment to prepare! I didn’t find it troublesome, after all, I didn’t plan to immediately ask Lei Di for the Thunder Fairy, but the situation with Ke Fei Er was a bit more complicated.

“…Tch.”

The next moment, after giving me a hearty Rosia bear hug, Lei Di turned her gaze back and caught sight of Ke Fei Er following behind me, her expression instantly shifting to one of impatience.

“What, you’re here too…”

Ke Fei Er wouldn’t fall for such a provocation… or so I thought.

But today, Ke Fei Er seemed to have suddenly developed a desire to “measure up” against Lei Di. She didn’t immediately respond to Lei Di’s provocation; instead, as she walked into the dorm, she skillfully set down my luggage while deliberately exuding an aura that said, “My relationship with Ou Qi Li De is different now~.”

Then, at the moment when even a little midget like Lei Di began to sense that “something was off,” Ke Fei Er leisurely replied with a hint of pride in her smile, “Emperor Ivan Lei Di, I am also a third-year student at Lubyanka Academy, and I recently received a letter from the academy regarding my final graduation tests~”

She then raised an eyebrow at Lei Di: “I’m here to take my finals and graduate; is there a problem?”

“Gululu… That old coot, the dean, is sending out letters again…”

Leiti, gripping my arm, complained through gritted teeth, then cleared her throat and raised her voice at Kefer, being unreasonable.

“That great emperor has allowed you to graduate directly! Just go pick up your diploma and hurry back to Blet! A-l-o-n-e!”

A powder keg ready to explode! I could almost predict the ensuing scene of Kefer and Leiti clashing like thunder and lightning, with wind and snow raging around them. However, this time, Kefer’s reaction was beyond my expectations!

In the past, the two would have already been at each other’s throats, and I would have had to intervene to separate them. But now, Kefer actually… didn’t take the bait at all!? Rather, her attitude towards Leiti seemed calm and collected from the very beginning, as if there was something Leiti lacked that she possessed, allowing her to remain so composed.

【Kefer doesn’t want to argue with Leiti right now~】

Suddenly, it dawned on me—Kefer felt that the engagement was already in place, and she had won! Would the victor be angered by the complaints of the defeated? Of course not…

That said, Kefer, while you might feel proud of the engagement, don’t flaunt it in front of Leiti! If this little midget gets angry and kicks us out of the Rosia Empire, that would be a minor issue; if she gets mad and doesn’t give us the Thunder Fairy, that would be a big problem!

I quickly signaled to Kefer with my eyes to stop provoking Leiti, and Kefer, sensing the atmosphere, didn’t press further. This time, she didn’t even mind leaving alone, leaving me and Leiti together.

“Emperor Leiti, thank you for your kindness, but I still want to complete the final test normally, to avoid any gossip about me passing through convenience.”

Kefer winked at me, but it was more for Leiti’s benefit, “Oh, I’ll head to the academy to report now, see you later~”

“Oh… oh~”

I didn’t have any other response, just watching Kefer leave with a sense of “triumph,” and… the little midget Leiti beside me, who had been frowning for a while, as if she was starting to “get it.”

“Hmm~ She’s gone to Blet, but why does this emperor still feel a sense of dissatisfaction as if she lost…”

Pouting, Leiti pondered for a while, and suddenly, as if realizing something, she turned around and grabbed both my arms, her attitude becoming impatient!

“Big brother! You didn’t do anything with her during this time, did you!?”

“D-do what!?”

I immediately thought of that night with Kefer! The feeling was so profound that now, with the slightest hint of trouble, I couldn’t help but recall it, as if I were reliving the moment…

But it’s better not to tell Leiti about that, considering the little midget in front of me was already glaring at me with dissatisfaction, like a little bomb ready to explode. No matter how good our relationship is, Leiti is still the BOSS in this story!

“I didn’t do anything… just got engaged, that’s all.”

“Engagement? Didn’t you already have that when you went to Rodma? This emperor saw the ring!”

No, Leiti, the engagement in the Rodma Empire and the one after returning are two completely different concepts. Of course, in this atmosphere, I absolutely couldn’t say that.

After all… Ivan Leiti, this Rosia midget’s way of thinking is just too domineering and unreasonable.

“As long as it’s not marriage, that’s fine~”

After uttering that line, which sent chills down my spine, Leiti hugged my arm and pulled me toward the dormitory, then waved her hand to shoo away Galu, who was still standing there like a wooden post, too scared to move.

I really feel sorry for my roommate.

“Galu, go call Rasputin over, and give this emperor a little disguise. Next, this emperor is taking big brother to the academy!”
