Chapter 297: Chapter 254 How Pitiful I Must Be to Have My Heart Stolen by You_2 Chapter 297: Chapter 254 How Pitiful I Must Be to Have My Heart Stolen by You_2 Sonia was taken aback.
“You mentioned that Sound Technique and Performance classes are also there.” Adelle seemed thirsty from talking too much, smacking her lips, and snatching the water bottle from Sonia’s hand to drink: “You said you want to become a Shadow Actress or Songstress because they make a lot of money. That sounds reasonable, but there are so many lucrative professions, why must it be a Songstress or Shadow Actress specifically?”
“You always come up with many complicated reasons, but actually, many things are motivated by simple reasons.”
Adelle reflected, “I’ve seen so many plays, and the biggest impression I’ve got is that many seemingly perfect plans always get overturned by someone’s whimsical motives. This world really does have too many unreasonable whims.”
Sonia: “…Have you ever thought that maybe the scriptwriter was lazy and so they just rushed it?”
“That makes sense.” Adelle pointed to her vibrating bracelet: “Are we rested now? Let’s go, you see, Lois is hurrying us again.”
The two quickly returned to the dormitory, only to see a bunch of girls squeezing inside making a ruckus, the table slowing with various clothes and accessories.
Lois, noticing Sonia’s sweaty smell, couldn’t help but pinch her nose: “Go take a shower! Honestly, suddenly asking us to get your War Dress ready, and then you go off to train by yourself… Do you really think being a Sword Flower means everyone has to revolve around you? Not to mention, you’re not even a Sword Flower yet!”
Sonia apologized, “I’m sorry.”
“Go take a shower.” Lois waved her hand: “You stink to death, I’ll let you use my body wash and shampoo this time, otherwise, I might faint from the smell later.”
When Sonia went into the bathroom, Lois tapped her bracelet: “Has Bolis senior not arrived yet? Is there anyone who can replace her?”
“There are already few in the Wind Magic Department among the girls, let alone that you want a Mage focused on the Fragrant Wind direction,” another girl complained. “Our Wind Magic Department is mainly focused on meteorology, and Bolis only started studying fragrances occasionally after receiving ‘Fragrant Wind’ Technique Spirit from the Void Realm… Real Fragrance Mages are basically part of those few perfume companies. Unless you become their intern Mage, it’s impossible to get their fragrance formulas that have been researched for hundreds of years.”
“Missing Bolis may not be much of an issue,” said Adelle. “And besides, during the fight, no one will focus on Sonia’s scent–”
“Don’t forget, Technique Spirits that enhance senses are everywhere.” Lois interjected: “A perfect performance can’t have any flaws… Oh!”
She opened her cabinet and pulled out a crystal bottle encrusted with star diamonds.
Adelle was surprised: “Isn’t that ‘Meteor Tears’? Lois, you still had such a good thing and didn’t share it with your best friends!”
“You’d use it all up if I shared it.” Lois looked conflicted as she held the perfume bottle while other girls gathered around, asking Lois to allow them to try the fragrance or to reserve a turn to use it.
Ingrid wondered, “Is that perfume very expensive?”
“It’s not about being expensive; it’s a limited edition that money can’t buy,” Adelle explained. “It’s specially formulated by a Fragrance Mage with the power of Miracle. You know how the perfume we normally wear has a lingering charming scent, but that’s just mass-produced common goods with only a bit of Miracle’s power compared to ‘Meteor Tears.'”
“So, is this perfume stronger?”
“Oh no, the focus of Fragrance Magic isn’t on ‘scent’ but on ‘charm.’ It’s said that ladies who use this perfume can become the sole focus of attention even with an imperceptible body scent, and it could even cause people to secrete joyful hormones, making them feel fond of the user,” Adelle stated with longing. “If I could wear this perfume at the school evening party, I’d surely outshine the Star Cluster.”
“However, this Miracle Perfume, because it consumes a lot of Technique Spirit, isn’t sold publicly and is only given as a gift. It seems the Lois family has a really strong connection…”
At that moment, Sonia came out of the shower, and Lois immediately said, “All right, we have 95 minutes until six o’clock, and within these 95 minutes, we must transform Sonia into a work of art!”
Before Village Girl could react, they pulled her over, raised her arms, and the girls quickly stripped her of her clothes — not even sparing her underwear — then they dressed her in new undergarments, followed by a shirt, leggings, then riding pants, a jacket, gloves, boots, decorations, skirts…
Even Sonia was amazed: “Lois, I only asked you to find me a suitable War Dress, didn’t we take it too seriously with all these people?”
“What do you think a real War Dress is? Some pajama dress you can slip into casually?” Lois said irritably, “And if you really wanted to wear a War Dress, you should have told me a few days ago. You only told me this afternoon, giving me just a few hours; it’s even crazier than rushing homework.”
“In the Light Screen, none of the dazzling War Dresses you’ve seen can be worn without several people helping, and some even need Technique Spirits for adjustments–these seniors are all people I asked as favors, you should thank them later.”
“No need,” one senior smiled, “serving the new Sword Flower is our honor. If you really want to thank us, Lois, it’s enough if you thank us–please, I have an important date next week, let me use ‘Meteor Tears’.”
“I have a meeting with my fiance in a few days!”
“I’m attending a very important evening banquet!”
Sonia smiled, “Thank you for your generous help, seniors. Lois, it’s not that I wanted to trouble you, but I only found out this morning that I was responsible for the main fight at the social evening event. If I hadn’t asked, Professor Trozan wouldn’t have told me, so…”
“Professor Trozan really is something…”
While muttering, Lois pressed Sonia onto a stool, “Are you confident you won’t hurt your face? Blood mixed with makeup looks terrible… Or shall we just trim the eyebrows?”
Sonia summoned a Technique Spirit: “I have the ‘Sun Position’ Technique Spirit, help me apply the perfect makeup for the spotlight.”
Lois’s expression softened slightly: “You actually bought the ‘Sun Position’ Technique Spirit, at least you were somewhat prepared.”
She took out a hairband and tied up Village Girl’s red hair, carefully examining her eyes: “Your eyes seem a bit dry… Adelle, pass me my eye wash liquid.”
