The Villainous Young Master Just Wants to Live a Laid-Back Life

Chapter 48: Dark Demon Online Caught Eating Melons

Emma left her final ripple and walked away without looking back.

But the atmosphere between Virt and Robert instantly froze!

...

"⊙▽⊙"

Only Dark, transformed into a heartless melon-eating machine, devoured the entire melon.

Combining what he saw on Monday with the many unusual behaviors of the two during this period, Dark more or less guessed the course of events.

But what he couldn't understand was, how did the trio end up in such a fragmented state?

Just because he, the villain, didn't apply pressure?

That couldn't be it, right?

But admittedly, Dark became somewhat interested in the subsequent developments.

Emma completely broke off with Virt and Robert, and the relationship between Virt and Robert also showed cracks due to Emma's final ripple.

Next, would Virt turn to Emma to mend their relationship, or would he remain as steadfast as gold with Robert?

"Tsk~ It's got that drama vibe!"

Thinking that it wouldn't be too late to go to Traveler Street later, Dark continued to eat melons.

...

In any case, Virt did take Emma's last words to heart, especially since Robert's behavior of constantly dragging him down this week made him realize that Emma's reminder wasn't without reason.

Yes, Virt gradually became aware of the root of the problem.

This was also the main reason why the atmosphere was gradually stiffening.

Before the air completely solidified, Robert finally couldn't help but say, "No way? Virt! You're not really going to believe Emma's words and want to..."

Virt gave a dry laugh and patted Robert on the shoulder, "What are you talking about, Robert? We've been good friends since the start of school. So? Since this damn debt doesn't exist at all, shall we go for a stroll on Traveler Street or go back for a game?"

"Ha, don't scare me like that." Robert breathed a sigh of relief, "Of course, back to... the library?"

Virt was stunned, "No way? The library?"

Robert also gave a dry laugh, "We haven't finished the assignments for Arithmetic and Magical History, have we?"

Emma probably never imagined that her last words to Virt would have a greater impact on Robert than on Virt himself!

In the almost stagnant atmosphere, Robert finally realized that if he didn't make a change, he might completely lose this "son of the hero" friend.

...

Watching the two actually head towards the library, Dark's gaze gradually became strange, and he couldn't help but step out from the corner.

"Did they choose the bro route? I wonder how long it will last?"

Once a crack appears in human relationships, it's not something that can be easily repaired.

Dark suddenly felt that the melon had lost its flavor again.

He shook his head and walked in the direction Emma had disappeared.

"Speaking of which, Emma actually thought about attending a ladies' tea party? What's the reason for her change?"

...

Emma Metis, of course, was inspired by Dark's championship speech, thinking to try the so-called "balance between work and leisure."

That is, to use some fun content to alleviate the monotony of study, leaving some rest time for the brain to work more efficiently.

The ladies' tea party on Traveler Street was something she learned about last week when she passed by the Forest Café and was handed a flyer by a maid.

At the time, she threw the flyer away, but her memory was strong enough.

The Forest Café is themed around a "real forest," where customers enter the range of a [Forest Field Card] as soon as they step through the door.

In the tranquil environment of giant tree roots, enjoying the aftertaste of aromatic coffee is a unique experience.

This ladies' tea party was organized by senior students under the guise of a book club, focusing on literary exchanges among the young ladies.

Emma thought such entertainment might suit her well.

Thus, to become better, she stepped out of the cage that confined her, named "thirst for knowledge."

...

Human personality is not innate.

Even characters with initial personalities in a work can change as the story develops.

Whether they fall or grow.

Depends on the character themselves.

...

Dark deeply understood this.

He followed Emma into the lakeside pavilion, chose one of the two free stone tables, and sat on one of the stone stools, giving a slight twist of his hips, luckily transferring.

Exiting the lakeside pavilion again and crossing the garden-style bridge known as the "Changing Bridge," he entered Traveler Street.

A week later, Traveler Street had become slightly unfamiliar again.

Dark was in no hurry to go to that Morgan store, but instead browsed around a shop selling potted plants.

Keeping animals was prohibited in the castle of St. Marian Academy, but no one forbade keeping some flowers and plants. Even Professor Thompson of Potionology occasionally mentioned some interesting potted plants in class, recommending students to try cultivating them.

Among them, for example, the... cat grass in front of Dark!

Just entering this shop, Dark's attention was immediately captured by the cat grass displayed in the most prominent place, almost forgetting his original purpose for coming—the insect tree.

The so-called cat grass is a plant that is completely a cat except for its tail being a stem!

Every spring and autumn, beautiful flowers bloom on the heads of the cat grass.

The academy prohibits keeping cats but allows cat grass, which is undoubtedly a puzzling mystery.

Although the roots of cat grass must be planted in soil, they can drag their pots around if they want...

And they won't wither immediately even if they leave the soil for a short time.

More importantly, they also meow and exhibit most cat behaviors except for excretion and eating.

→ That is to say, keeping cat grass doesn't even require litter scooping or cat food!

Instead, it requires a potion called "cat juice."

Just water the cat grass with "cat juice" every day and take it out for some sun, and that's enough to keep it alive!

As far as Dark knows, after last week's opening of Traveler Street, many girls' dormitories had an extra pot of cat grass.

For example, Rose bought a pot of orange Garfield.

"Cats are really good companions for healing the mind and body."

Dark scratched the chin of a short-eared cat and couldn't help but voice his thoughts.

"Do you think so too?"

A familiar scent suddenly came from behind, and Dark shivered, as if a small cat had encountered a lion, his toes tightening.

The orchid-like fragrance gently brushed the back of his neck, and even without turning around, Dark could feel the heavy pressure!

Maintaining his cat-teasing posture, Dark asked, "Senior, why are you here too?"

Senior Pandora chuckled lightly, "I followed you here."

Dark: "Huh, came to buy cat juice?"

Pandora: "So hard to fool!"
