428: Chapter 3: Distant Longing (Part 3) 428: Chapter 3: Distant Longing (Part 3) “Wow…” Linai whispered, “Is it that kind of thing?
Like a prince from a fantasy in dreams?”
“Exactly!” Qiluo giggled dreamily, “Don’t you think it’s wonderful?”
This type, from the perspective of most girls, would seem ideal…
but would it be the type to provide a stable day-to-day life?
Born into a traditional family, Linai instinctively wanted to give a negative reply.
However, her grandmother had also said that different people pursue different things, and perhaps for girls who crave adventure and impulsiveness, such a man would also be a great choice.
But not sure if it was an illusion, the gaze of that martial artist lady was rather frightening.
The dreamy Qiluo wasn’t aware of it yet, but Kardesia was already sweating coldly!
There was a bad premonition!
“Such a little girl~” Linai commented playfully to lighten the mood.
“Qiluo is more unbeatable in terms of girliness~” the club president quickly made a judgment without any clear standards, “Next up, Little Qian!”
Was there even a need to ask?
Linai thought to herself, anyone could see from the way she ran to the unconscious Gongsun Ce that she definitely liked him.
If you already liked someone, this was not about shooting arrows at a target but drawing the target after shooting the arrows.
With the uniquely gossipy spirit of a high school girl, Linai looked forward expectantly towards the expressionless girl.
“I like boys who care about ‘me.'”
Qin Qianbai’s statement momentarily plunged everyone into confusion.
“Does it mean, simply ‘he also likes me’ would do?” Qiluo asked, puzzled.
The young lady shook her head.
“Linai, what do you think ‘yourself’ is?”
Such a peculiar way to phrase it…
Does she always speak …
Linai scratched her face, “I am Chuyun Linai.
The granddaughter of the Chuyun family, the witch of Huangquan Shrine, a Divine Communication Mage, and then a high school girl…”
The girl who gave a negative conclusion stayed motionless in her seat.
That muted voice and motionless face made Linai for a moment think she was conversing with an artificial creation, not a living human.
Was she talking to an inorganic life form?
Such an absurd thought lingered in her mind because this person was someone who could leave such a profound impression.
“Witch is an identity.
Heir is a responsibility.
Impermanence Skill is a technique.
Those can’t be called a part of ‘oneself’.”
Her words, as bizarre as her disposition, seemed like a machine defining a human.
“‘I’ is what’s left after stripping everything else away, the few remaining elements.
Therefore, ignoring all power and status, focusing only on my person.
An ordinary body, an ordinary mind, a person who cares about these…
is the man I would fall for.”
The strong non-human feeling suddenly vanished, and the doll-like girl lowered her head, turning into a somewhat shy, ordinary girl.
“Wow…” Qiluo whispered in awe.
Kardesia stood up excitedly, waving her arms, “Ignoring all worldly distractions and focusing only on the small world within one’s heart, that is true girlhood!”
Linai, however, didn’t pay attention to this anymore.
She wondered, should love be considered more idealistic?
Not considering status or responsibilities but focusing on the self that remains after stripping everything away…
That’s too whimsical!
But yet, this simple idea also has its beauty.
With a visage quite unlike a doll, her statement was even more idealistic than Qiluo’s.
Linai somewhat understood why the younger students always called this girl “Miss.”
Linai touched her head, smiling helplessly, “Before anything else, should ‘I’ be the primary focus…
I really learned something today.”
“It’s ‘we’, actually,” Qiluo whispered.
“Don’t mimic me when being serious!!” Linai threatened, mockingly.
At that moment, an indecipherable atmosphere really seemed to take hold in the conference room.
Kardesia tapped on the table, concluding, “Everyone spoke wonderfully!
Now it’s time for the chief—I— to make the final decision—”
“So you all already know.” “No speaking if you have a boyfriend.” “In short, that’s Shiyu Lianyi.”
“Rebellion, you guys!
How dare you not listen to your chief!”
As a tumultuous fight among the women was about to erupt, there came a knocking at the door of the meeting room.
Moments before, they appeared demonic, but within half a second reverted to ladylike demeanor.
“Good afternoon, ladies.” A blonde female knight walked through the door, with Shiyu Ling looking uninterested as she followed behind, discussing something with Orianna.
“Excuse me, but do you ladies have a moment?
I have a personal question to ask…
Orianna instinctively stepped back, sensing the four girls’ gazes to be as fierce as the black iron wolves of Morton mountains.
“Miss Orianna, Alice dear~~~~” The sweet voice of the girl in a hat gave both Creator Realm Mages goosebumps, “Would you like to join our ladies’ gathering?”
