But being delicate was just being delicate; in this academy full of rich young ladies, they seemed too ordinary.
Their astonishment only made Roa slightly surprised for a moment; after all, their inexplicable actions were indeed eye-catching.
Ignoring the two, Roa continued to lead Est forward.
Not to mention, the academy truly excelled in terms of food, clothing, and living conditions.
Not only did they put a lot of effort into the food, but even the surrounding scenery was genuinely excellent.
Of course, this was also related to the academy's wealth.
Roa wandered around with Est, secretly observing her preferences.
The girl wasn't as enthusiastic about clothing and decorative items as other girls were. However, if Roa bought something for her, Est would happily accept and wear it.
Est loved sweets, but her favorite food was tofu.
Along the way, they tried various local delicacies, but Est spent the most time at a tofu shop.
Watching Est squint her eyes while tasting the white tofu in her bowl, Roa curiously picked up a piece and took a bite.
The smooth and bouncy tofu melted in his mouth, and the tender sensation touched his taste buds.
It was good, but only just good.
Compared to the many delicious foods before, this dish could only be considered mediocre.
Roa glanced at Est, who had a look of enjoyment on her exquisitely cute face.
Roa looked down at the food in the bowl again, falling into deep thought.
Was it really that delicious?
Roa took another bite, and the taste didn't change.
It seemed that Est really liked this food.
Est ate three large bowls in a row before finally leaving.
Looking at Est's stomach, which showed no signs of fullness, Roa began to wonder where all the food she had eaten was hidden.
Est had eaten a lot along the way, sampling almost everything, yet in the end, there was no sign of fullness at all.
Such a petite body concealed a big eater underneath.
It truly amazed Roa.
Lost in thought, they had already reached the end of the small street.
The small street was large, but after all, it was an academy. Having so many snack shops was enough to surprise Roa, but no matter how big it was, it couldn't compare to a street dedicated to food outside; it would eventually come to an end.
Est looked at the entrance, her footsteps pausing slightly.
She didn't want to leave this street so soon.
But the hand that Roa was holding her with gently pulled, leading Est away from the small street.
Est sighed, revealing a look of regret. Her actions made Roa find it amusing; she looked more like a child who hadn't played enough.
Roa reached out and stroked Est's soft silver hair, and Est responded with an expression of enjoyment.
Est's actions undoubtedly brought great joy to Roa.
Roa made a promise to Est: "Est, after I finish dealing with some matters, how about I take you out for another stroll?"
Est nodded in agreement.
Thus, an afternoon passed by. After Roa had coaxed Est into the Astral Zero, he pondered the prototype of the Purple Lightning alone, trying to develop more Absolute Blade Arts. Before long, it was already late evening.
Greyworth did not teach him any leisure, so Roa returned to his dormitory early to prepare for sleep.
Roa felt that the dream had not yet ended. If nothing unexpected happened tonight, he would be able to know the final outcome of this matter.
After hastily finishing dinner, under Ellis's skeptical gaze, Roa greeted her and dashed straight to his room.
As soon as he covered himself with the blanket, Roa prepared to fall asleep.
Of course, falling asleep is a skill, and Roa could not fall asleep quickly.
Est quietly activated the divine power on Roa, manifesting her white-haired loli form beside him.
Roa glanced at Est, who had somehow stripped off all her clothes, leaving only her black over-the-knee socks.
The black over-the-knee socks always gave Roa a different feeling. He pushed the approaching Est away with annoyance and pointed to the clothes beside him, saying to Est, "Put them on."
Est tilted her head and asked in confusion, "Didn't Master like it this way?"
Roa's mouth twitched slightly, but he repeated to Est, "Est, be obedient, put them on."
Est looked at the academy uniform placed aside, hesitated for a moment, and then put on a white short-sleeved shirt.
After getting dressed, Est once again pounced towards Roa, but this time he ignored her and let her fidget.
Est's skin was very nice, and the gentle touch of her skin against Roa's arm made him feel a bit ticklish.
Pushing Est away, Roa expressed that this version of Est made it hard for him to fall asleep peacefully.
Roa turned over, closed his eyes, and prepared to sleep.
Est reached out, lay on her side next to Roa, and wrapped her arms around his waist.
Roa frowned slightly, feeling a bit strange.
To be honest, Est's affectionate behavior now left Roa feeling somewhat at a loss.
They had not spent much time together, but Est was acting very clingy towards Roa, which made him feel a bit of a headache.
A warm sensation came from his back, and the scent of Est wafted to his nose.
The tickling at his nose made it even harder for Roa to fall asleep.
However, Roa kept his eyes closed; not being able to sleep did not mean he couldn't pretend to be asleep.
But to Roa's surprise, the girl merely leaned against his back and did not make any further moves.
As time passed, Roa's slightly tense feelings faded away. When he turned to look, he found that Est had closed her eyes. Her long eyelashes fluttered slightly, as if she were dreaming of something unpleasant.
The hand that held Roa also tightened slightly.
It seemed she was dreaming of something bad.
Roa covered the cup for Est, closed his eyes, and prepared to sleep.
This time, the duration of entering the dream was not long; in just a moment, Roa had completely fallen asleep.
The darkness before him gradually brightened, and the scene changed.
The battle between Saint Areishia and Solomon.
Having seen the battle once, Roa appeared somewhat distracted.
The scene passed by, feeling like watching a movie, and soon reached a part that Roa had not seen before.
This was the aftermath of the battle.
The holy sword pierced through Solomon's torso, and the head that fell to the ground let out a mournful wail.
The holy sword began to emit a brilliant light, the radiance sweeping around and devouring all the dense darkness.
But at that moment, the light erupting from the holy sword became even more dazzling. However, this time, the light of the holy sword suddenly shattered at the critical point, revealing an intense darkness beneath.
This darkness quickly enveloped Areishia.
