The time between five and six o'clock was very special.
Valkyries would subconsciously return home, and Himeko Murata and Theresa were no exception.
Although there were times when the Tsundere Redhead Onee-san continued to chase him even after five o'clock,
it was clear that…
Today…
Himeko Murata had no such intention.
Deliberately making footsteps was definitely to scare him; her mischievousness… Lucas could understand it, and he didn't pause, quickly moving away.
And just then, Theresa and Himeko Murata met.
The petite white-haired, blue-eyed Headmaster, dressed in a black nun's habit, looked at the Red-haired Onee-san in a black dress, freely displaying her figure in the air, and said, "Himeko, hehehe… did you see… Lucas?"
"That bad student… he stole something from the Headmaster; I… am looking for him."
Theresa tilted her head, scrutinizing the Tsundere Onee-san in front of her.
There was no kindness in her eyes, and they even seemed to carry malice.
"You mean Binbin? I didn't see him just now. I did see him a couple of days ago; I chased him into the Martial Arts Arena."
Himeko Murata pursed her lips and smiled.
Theresa frowned.
The Tsundere Redhead Onee-san continued, "What did he steal?"
"That's none of your business." Theresa turned around and walked away with her short legs, "Anyway… if you see him later, remember to catch Lucas. Hehehe… the Headmaster wants to properly savor him."
"Bad students like him, hehehe… should be deep-fried…"
The clear childish voice coupled with cruel words sent shivers down one's spine.
Himeko Murata didn't speak; she merely showed a playful smile, thinking, "Why… would I give Binbin to you? He belongs to me…"
"However… it seems I also need to speed up, otherwise… the Headmaster might get to him first."
Himeko Murata's smile grew more exaggerated.
Theresa's footsteps stopped, and her soft, boneless body suddenly leaned back, her waist arching like a bridge.
A pair of sky-blue eyes stared intently at Himeko Murata.
"You're lying… right, Himeko? Eh hehehe… the Headmaster smells a lie."
Theresa's small tongue lightly licked her red lips, and she swung her arms, turning around, raising her head like a zombie.
The blue light in her eyes was dazzling.
Himeko Murata still didn't speak.
"Just now… you definitely saw Lucas, right…? Where is he? Where is he?"
Theresa stepped forward, her smile growing more twisted, and her voice began to become sharp and piercing.
Himeko Murata shook her head, denying it.
"I didn't see him."
"Of course, you didn't see him, because you also want to monopolize Lucas, don't you? Hehe… how could the Headmaster not know your little thoughts? Let me guess…"
"He's definitely… behind you, right!"
At this point,
Theresa suddenly sprinted towards Himeko Murata's back, her nun's habit swaying and rustling in the air.
The petite Headmaster's actions were frantic, her expression gradually twisting as she said, "He's over here! He's over here! He's over here!"
Himeko Murata watched Theresa run wildly, a pleased smile on her face.
"The Headmaster is really fun…"
...
Lucas, walking on his way home, heard the sudden sound of running from afar.
At first, he thought he had been discovered by Theresa.
But upon listening closely, he realized the footsteps were actually getting further and further away from him.
In that case…
There was nothing to worry about.
Lucas scratched his head, thinking, "What in the world is Theresa doing…?"
In the vast Schicksal,
there weren't many Valkyries who would rush like that.
Theresa was one of them.
When she ran, the commotion was significant, and if caught in a place with good visibility, it was basically impossible to escape.
"Thanks to the darkness for providing me shelter."
Lucas thought to himself.
If there wasn't endless darkness,
his chances of dying when going out at night would greatly increase.
On the other side…
The frantically running Theresa crashed into Kiana.
"Did you see Lucas? You didn't eat him, did you? But… you don't have any blood on you…"
"Aunt…"
Kiana glanced at the Headmaster, then staggered away again.
The Paramecium was completely uninterested in anyone who wasn't Lucas; calling Theresa 'Aunt' was already quite a gesture.
Theresa just silently watched the white-haired girl's retreating back.
"Ahhh! Not here! He's not here! Not here!"
Theresa clutched her head in pain, squatting on the ground like a small radish.
"Hehe... Bad student... You must be nearby, right... The Headmaster is coming to catch you."
Turning around and randomly aiming in one direction, Theresa charged forward, causing a commotion.
The disturbance here had already caught the attention of the Night Valkyries.
Even though it was five in the morning, it still attracted quite a few Night Valkyries.
"What in the world is Theresa going crazy about?"
Noticing the sound of running approaching him again, Lucas felt his scalp tingle.
Before he stole the hyperion key, Theresa usually just stayed in her bedroom at night, lost in thought.
A month ago, as long as Lucas didn't disturb her, he was basically safe.
But now that he had stolen the Key, the Headmaster had come looking for him for two consecutive days.
Lucas hesitated for a moment, but ultimately decided to hide in a trash can to avoid the limelight.
Perhaps Himeko Murata's appearance just now had stimulated Theresa.
He could only wait for her to calm down.
Otherwise...
Lucas was worried that if Theresa ran into him, it would be terrible.
What's more, the nearby Night Valkyries also seemed to be stimulated.
The risk of action now was slightly too great.
He found a nearby trash can and squatted inside.
Lucas began to wait for the commotion to pass.
Squatting alone inside the trash can, listening to the occasional footsteps around him, Lucas, wearing his round-framed transparent sunglasses, felt a bit lonely.
"If Sirin were here, it would be great; I could pat her head and it wouldn't be so boring. Should I bring my phone next time I go out?"
"Sigh... Forget it."
"I already have enough things on me..."
When going out at night, Lucas wouldn't bring his phone.
Mainly because the Yandere Valkyries basically don't bring those things when they go out.
Even at home, they would turn off their phones at night.
It would be useless for Lucas to bring it; he couldn't contact anyone, he could only play games to pass the time or something.
The phone also took up space.
He had a tranquilizer gun, wolf repellent spray...
And some other miscellaneous things.
There was really no room for a phone.
Amidst his wild thoughts, the commotion quickly subsided.
The time on his watch had already reached 5:28 AM.
Lucas had been squatting in the trash can for almost twenty minutes.
"Let's wait two more minutes..."
He had waited for so long, he didn't care about these last two minutes.
Might as well make it a round number.
At 5:30 AM, Lucas crawled out of the trash can, ready to continue towards the Valkyrie Dormitory.
It was already getting late; he couldn't delay any longer.
Otherwise...
Lucas might not be able to return to his dormitory before six o'clock.
Thinking of that terrifying consequence, he couldn't help but speed up.
The dark world around him was silent, only his own heartbeat thumping.
Then?
Lucas ran into a Night Valkyrie head-on.
The atmosphere was momentarily silent.
