"Is that really you, Pipi?"

Thinking back to the face he hadn’t seen in what felt like forever, Pipi was filled with a flood of feelings. Rolling up his sleeves, the purple-haired maid took a moment to look at the ugly scars on her arm, reminders of her sister’s actions.

"Was it right to just agree to work together?"

Doubt began to creep into Pipi’s heart.

The person was her sister, but also the one who tried to kill her and betrayed them all. Although Pipi still had doubts about the time he was seriously injured by his sister, the undeniable fact was that she disappointed their mother and even tried to harm her younger brother several times.

’Maybe, Mom was right; maybe sister couldn’t be trusted..’

’Did I hastily accept her proposal?’

...

...

Lost in thought, Pipi was quickly heading towards Aya’s dorm. Even without using the power of shadows, with his terrifying physical ability and nimble figure, Pipi effortlessly moved through various security measures, easily passing through the dense forest garden, arriving at the outer perimeter of Aya’s Blue Rose Dormitory area.

With a jump, Pipi landed on the rooftop of the dormitory.

Just then, something soft suddenly collided with Pipi’s back, followed by a pleasant ’Oops’ that reached Pipi’s ears.

’?!!’

’Hmm?’

The unexpected impact, accompanied by the little girl’s exclamation, pulled Pipi back from her reverie.

"Huh? Who’s there?"

Although the stranger’s presence felt non-threatening, Pipi cautiously turned his head, a hint of his thunder power subtly gathering in his palm.

But when Pipi faced the intruder, his eyebrows furrowed as colorful, unknown objects rained down in front of him. Out of curiosity, Pipi quickly reached out and caught several of these colorful things.

"What’s this??"

Looking at the delicately wrapped items in his hand, consisting of a small round ball and a stick.

"This is... a lollipop?"

While still puzzled,

Pipi’s gaze settled on the petite figure in front of him.

It was a cute little girl with pink twin tails.

Her curved eyebrows and long eyelashes quivered slightly. Her flawless skin had a soft blush, and her thin lips looked as tender as rose petals. Her unique red and blue heterochromatic eyes shone brilliantly and purely like gems.

The little girl at this moment was wearing a black dress with off-the-shoulder straps. The simple lace wide straps highlighted the girl’s collarbones, making them incredibly captivating. The modest neckline revealed a small portion of her fair skin. Beneath the long black skirt, her slender feet, wrapped in white children’s socks, peeked out now and then.

She looked super cute in that dress, like an angel. If she was in a crowd acting all sweet, many people would find it hard not to smile.

However, right now, this little miss was sitting on the chilly rooftop, rubbing her head while making soft whimpering sounds. Clearly, the one who bumped into Pipi was this adorable little creature. After crashing into the "solid wall" that was Pipi, the pink-haired girl predictably fell on her bottom. The candies she held scattered everywhere.

This caused Pipi, when he turned around, to witness a shower of colorful candies.

Elsewhere,

The pink-haired girl, our little friend Yuan’er, rubbed her head in confusion.

"What... What the heck... Why did someone suddenly pop out?"

Yuan’er grumbled unhappily.

Originally, Yuan’er had planned to carry out her scheme today. She wanted to take advantage of having no classes to blow up the school building so that Mengxi could spend more time with her mother in the future. Of course, since her powers were suppressed by her elder sister, combined with her deliberate concealment, the current Yuan’er couldn’t blow up the heavily guarded and extremely solid school building on her own.

Furthermore, if she took action, her mother would definitely find out.

So, this task naturally fell onto her good friend, Meliora.

However,

Meliora, who had always been obedient to Yuan’er, surprisingly refused to blow up the school, saying it would be too much. This left Yuan’er astounded. Normally, Yuan’er could use her mother’s reputation to intimidate the dragon loli into compliance.

But considering Meliora is her friend, constantly threatening a friend didn’t seem appropriate. As Sebastian always said, threats to "friends" should be moderate. Therefore, after careful consideration, Yuan’er got many delicious candies from Sebastian, planning to use Meliora’s favorite candies to persuade... ahem, not trick... persuade Meliora to help her.

However, beyond Yuan’er’s expectations,

While she was hopping on the roof, heading to the suburban park where Meliora was, a strange figure appeared right in front of her! She had been so engrossed in thinking about how to bribe Meliora that she didn’t notice the anomaly in front of her and inadvertently ran into it.

But regardless,

Jumping around on top of the sky and bumping into someone?

"Running into someone here, isn’t that too freaking coincidental?!"

Yuan’er couldn’t help but grumble to herself.

’Huh?!’

’Wait!’

’That’s not the important!’

Before she could say more, Yuan’er quickly thought,

"Where are my candies?"

Thinking of this, Yuan’er immediately looked around.

When she saw her candies all over the place, she felt really sad. She knew those candies were not tough. They must’ve broken from the fall.

Sob*

"My candies... oh no..."

These were limited edition candies that Sebastian had gone through a lot to get.

Looking at the candies lying broken all over the ground, she felt like crying. Without the candies, how was she going to persuade Meliora? After all, that dragon girl seemed to lose her mind in front of candies.

After a moment of feeling down, Yuan’er puffed up her cheeks and looked straight ahead at the person responsible for this mess.

Even though the purple-haired lady in front of her was pretty and had a familiar vibe like her mom, which made Yuan’er feel weirdly positive about her, she was still mad that the lady caused the loss of all her candies.

With determination, Yuan’er stood up and walked up to the purple-haired lady. She tried to look as fierce as a kitten baring its teeth and claws, pointing her finger accusingly:

"Who are you?! Why did you appear out of nowhere and make me drop all my candies?"

"Huh?"

"What do you mean ’huh’? It’s your fault I fell and all my candies broke! What are you going to do about it? Give me new candies!"

Even though Yuan’er usually acts sweet and cute, she used to be quite the little Young noble lady when she was fully human. Usually, Yumo keeps this side of her in check. But now, with Yumo not around and feeling upset, the old diva attitude shows up.

"If you don’t give me candies, you’ll be sorry!"

On the other side,

The purple-haired lady frowned a bit, clearly annoyed.

’Ugh’

’Who’s this bratty kid, talking to me like this?!’
