Chapter 98: The State of Mind of Two People
Leaving... a word I've longed for yet find unfamiliar.
Ever since Loki came to Lanoa Magic University, she knew that she would have to leave one day, and that was true even after becoming a teacher's student.
But she never expected that her departure would come so suddenly and so hastily.
Actually, it wasn't that sudden... Thinking about it carefully, it seems that the teacher has been sleeping like this for a while now, but I just subconsciously ignored it.
Sitting in the chair in the room, Luo Qixi couldn't help but purse her lips.
For a fleeting moment, she considered whether to leave... After all, staying here was quite interesting, and she also liked this job... She could also keep her teacher company.
However… she also has an immense love for adventure; it has been a long time since she embarked on a journey, a long time since she explored a labyrinth…
This made her slightly conflicted, but she didn't hesitate for long before she had her answer.
That means leaving.
I don't know how long my teacher will be asleep, and there seems to be no point in me staying here to watch over him... It seems that continuing my dream from many years ago is a better choice now.
Thinking this, Luo Qixi slowly picked up her suitcase, patted off the dust, and then opened it.
She spent almost nine years at La Noa Magic University, and during those nine years she had quite a few things to take with her.
While packing her things, Luo Qixi's thoughts drifted elsewhere.
After I leave, the teacher will probably fall into a deep sleep soon, right?
Who knows how many years will pass before the teacher wakes up again... And will the teacher's appearance change by the time they reach adolescence?
Will I grow taller?
Or will it remain the same as it is now?
Ah… I noticed this book… Luo Qixi subconsciously put a book aside. She had specially taken this book from the library; she had some questions she wanted to ask her teacher…
Ask the teacher...
Luo Qixi suddenly felt a slight sting in her nose, and she twitched her nose and pursed her lips.
I'm leaving tomorrow... how could I possibly have the chance to ask?
Even though I'm about to leave, why is my mind still filled with thoughts of my teacher?
Luo Qixi didn't know, but she really wanted to know... She didn't know when it started... her life seemed to be closely tied to her teacher. She got used to helping her teacher close the coffin lid that wasn't closed properly in the early morning, got used to helping her teacher retrieve various documents when she came back in the afternoon, got used to being taught by her teacher while he bit her neck late at night, and got used to secretly complaining about her teacher's strange behavior in her heart whenever she had nothing to do.
Thinking about it carefully, I've known my teacher for five years, and I've seen her almost every day during those five years... But what about my relationship with my parents?
Luo Qixi left her hometown when she was ten years old, and before that, how many days did she spend communicating with her parents?
Thinking back on it carefully... when I left home back then, my feelings seemed much simpler than they are now... I just felt... that place wasn't my home, and I just wanted to escape...
Now... I feel a little reluctant to leave. Teachers, in theory, aren't as kind as parents... and this isn't really my home...
Looking at the various furnishings in the room, Luo Qixi couldn't help but sigh softly.
Or perhaps this is the place I've come to consider home.
Shaking her head, Luo Qixi hid the bitterness and reluctance in her heart. She didn't want to shed tears when she left. She was an adult now and naturally had to act like one.
The farewell of adults is naturally subtle, with a sense of tranquility.
Thinking this, Luo Qixi put a few more pieces of clothing in her suitcase.
But as she left it there, she couldn't help but slowly raise her head and look at the closed room door.
I'm leaving tomorrow... why doesn't the teacher say anything to me?
Even though this was my last night staying here... the teacher didn't say a word to me.
teacher……
What are you doing?
Thinking of this, Luo Qixi suddenly blushed slightly... Why did she keep thinking about talking to her teacher? This was just a normal farewell...
Just like what I told Lanleta... actually...
To the teacher...
This was the first time Luo Qixi had thought about this matter so deeply, and just thinking about it made her heart clench slightly.
She already knew the answer... when her teacher first rescued her from the maze, when her teacher refused the king's offer to kill her friend for her own sake...
When the teacher says those strange things that always make people blush...
Luo Qixi felt her mind was in a mess. Staring at the locked door, she subconsciously murmured, "Teacher... what... what's wrong with me?"
Sidley sat quietly by the window, looking at the moon outside. Her face was expressionless, but if you looked closely, you could vaguely see a hint of loneliness on her face.
My silly student is leaving tomorrow, and of course I won't miss her... but she's so silly, will she encounter any danger?
And it's not that I'm reluctant to part with her, it's just that if she leaves, whose blood will I drink? Her blood is so delicious and hard to find.
How could I possibly be reluctant to part with an ordinary demon? I'm just lamenting that the raising game was forced to end before it was even finished.
Own……
I do seem to be a little reluctant to part with her.
This surprised Cinderella a bit... She had never felt this way before. She had witnessed too many people's separations and deaths, from her friends and kin in another world a long time ago.
Even Edward, whom she killed with her own hands, was among the closest people she knew... but none of these people gave Cinderella this feeling, as if they were all just passersby in her life.
But Loki seemed a little different... Her blue figure would occasionally linger in Cinderella's mind, making her think for a few seconds.
Perhaps it was because she had never had a student before... Although she wasn't exactly a student... not exactly an obedient one, it was precisely her silly, clumsy appearance that made Sidlin remember her so vividly.
Tonight seems to be her last night here. Should I talk to her? After all, it'll probably be years before we see each other again.
But she's probably busy right now. After all, packing things is a hassle, and it doesn't seem right for her to just go in and chat while she's doing nothing.
And Sidlin, who helped her with chores, was a bit lazy... In the end, she silently shook her head and looked at the moon outside the window.
She shifted her thoughts elsewhere.
After Loki leaves tomorrow, she will fall into a deep sleep. This has been told to those who need to know. Genas already knows that he will be handling affairs alone for the next few years, and Chaos has also informed him.
His mind is still entirely on the dolls, which is fine, because when I wake up I can see his finished product.
There were also other people who wrote letters to Cinderella, such as Astra, who made the staff for Lokishi. He must be almost eighty years old now.
I don't know if he was still alive when I woke up.
He should still be alive, right? That guy's pretty resilient...
"Clatter".
Just then, the door to Loki's room was suddenly pushed open, and Sidlin was startled when she heard the sound.
She looked up and saw Luo Qixi in her pajamas, looking at her with her lips pursed and her face slightly flushed.
