"Pfft, hahahaha, Aunt- Auntie, e-elementary school graduate? Hahahaha, I can't take it anymore."
Kiana was the first to burst out laughing, while Mei covered her mouth and chuckled softly.
Although Bronya remained expressionless, her slightly reddened face showed that she was struggling to hold back her laughter.
Even the usually serious Fu Hua couldn't help but crack a smile.
As for Himeko, she had somehow moved next to Kiana and was also roaring with laughter.
Hearing Kiana's booming laughter, Bella's face instantly turned red, transforming her into a steaming kettle.
Bella wished there was a crack in the ground she could immediately crawl into.
"Hahahaha, hahahaha."
Kiana and Himeko, still laughing heartily beside them, didn't notice that Theresa had arrived in front of them with a dark expression.
"Is it funny?"
Theresa asked through gritted teeth.
"Hahahaha, ha, uh."
Their bodies suddenly froze, and their laughter came to an abrupt halt.
"Bang" "Bang"
Kiana and Himeko, each with a large bump on their heads, expressionlessly arranged the tableware.
Beside them, Theresa faced Bella with a serious expression: "Firstly, I want to emphasize that I am not an elementary school student, and secondly, I am already an adult."
"Yes! School Director!"
Seemingly awed by Theresa's aura, Bella instinctively stood up and saluted Theresa.
"What are you doing? Never mind, sit down and eat."
Theresa couldn't help but laugh and cry at the sight, shaking her head and pulling Bella back to her chair to sit down.
At this point, everyone had finished their tasks and sat down.
"To celebrate Bella's recovery and discharge from the hospital, and Bella's joining St. Freya, cheers!"
Kiana was the first to raise her drink.
"Cheers!"
Seeing this, everyone else also picked up their cups, leaving only Bella.
Seeing everyone looking at her gently, Bella's heart felt warm for some reason.
"Perhaps, a life like this isn't so bad."
Bella's lips uncontrollably curled into a smile. She picked up her cup, filling the gap left by the others.
"Cheers!"
The dining table was lively.
Theresa sniffed, as if smelling something.
"Himeko, did you secretly pour yourself some wine again? Hand me your cup, let me see."
"Eh, how did you find out? I, I just had a tiny bit."
Himeko looked flustered.
It's over, she's been discovered.
"Indeed, I was only suspicious before, but now, hmph hmph."
Theresa looked smug. Indeed, her intelligence was unmatched.
"What, you tricked me."
Himeko gritted her teeth: "A mere Theresa…"
"Stop talking, quickly hand over the wine you've been hiding. I'm confiscating it."
Theresa extended her hand smugly.
Himeko dejectedly took a newly opened bottle of red wine from under the table and placed it in Theresa's hand, tears welling in her eyes.
"My source of life~"
"Whose source of life is wine?!"
Theresa mercilessly retorted.
Beside them, Kiana seemed to want to settle a score with Bronya at the dinner table, as the two rapidly snatched dishes with their chopsticks.
Next to them, the very ladylike Fu Hua and Mei ate quietly, forming a stark contrast with the other two.
Meanwhile, Bella secretly took some chicken drumsticks under the table, quietly opened the entrance to her storage space, and put them inside.
These were Paimon's late-night snacks.
"Don't even mention it, these dishes taste absolutely amazing!"
After transmigrating, Bella finally experienced the feeling of a full stomach.
She once again gave Raiden Mei's cooking a mental thumbs-up.
The dining table was harmonious.
...
After dinner, Kiana and Bronya, both stuffed, lay motionless on the living room sofa, each with a big belly.
"Bronya, I, I can't eat anymore."
"Hiccup~ I can't eat anymore either."
The two patted their big bellies, then weakly let their hands fall.
They didn't want to move at all.
"Oh, you two, never mind. I'll go make you some digestive soup."
Shaking her head helplessly, Raiden Mei got up and walked into the kitchen.
Bella was fine next to them, though she had also eaten a lot. She couldn't help it; it was simply too delicious.
But perhaps because her true form was a dragon, her digestive abilities were very strong, so she recovered after sitting for a while.
At this moment, Fu Hua walked over: "Bella, I'll take you to your room. You've just recovered, so it's better to rest early."
Bella looked outside the villa, and indeed, it was completely dark.
"Okay, Fu Hua, thank you for the trouble."
Fu Hua nodded and led Bella to a room on the second floor.
"I live right next door to you. You can call me if you need anything."
"I won't disturb your rest. Goodnight."
"Okay, goodnight, Fu Hua."
Only after Fu Hua went downstairs and her figure disappeared did Bella retract her gaze.
Opening the door, Bella walked in, turned on the room light, and closed the door behind her.
She turned to survey the room; this would be her little nest for the foreseeable future.
The room had few furnishings, but they were complete.
A chair, a desk, a wardrobe.
On the bed were neatly folded blankets and a set of pajamas, which Raiden Mei and the others must have prepared.
There was also a bookshelf by the wall, but it had few books, only some manga.
In the bathroom, towels, toothbrushes, and other toiletries were all present.
There was also a small balcony outside the room.
On the balcony were a few chairs, a tea table, and a swing chair.
"Bella! Quick, quick, quick!"
Paimon looked at Bella with shining eyes.
This little one had been craving food while watching Bella and the others eat dinner.
As soon as she entered the room, she eagerly urged her.
"Alright, alright."
Bella shook her head helplessly at this little one.
She opened her storage space and took out the chicken drumsticks she had secretly taken, placing them on the table.
Hmm, they were still warm.
Paimon immediately pounced on them and began gnawing, mumbling indistinctly as she ate: "Delicious! Delicious!"
"Slow down, don't choke."
Bella watched Paimon eat, shaking her head.
She took off her clothes by the bed, leaving only her underwear on.
Her waist-length gray hair hung loosely behind her, and her fair skin seemed to shimmer in the moonlight.
She surveyed her body up and down.
Speaking of which, Bella, who had been single for over twenty years in her previous life, hadn't even held a girl's hand.
Let alone seen a girl's body.
Although it was her own body now, looking at her proud figure and fair skin,
Bella couldn't help but blush a little.
She picked up the pajamas from the bed and walked into the bathroom.
Bella hadn't had a proper bath since transmigrating.
Although it seemed that because she was a Honkai Beast, she didn't sweat.
She could also use Honkai energy to clean the dust off her body, so she wouldn't get too dirty.
However, as a beautiful girl in this life, how could she not take a bath?!
Now that she had the chance, of course, she had to wash herself thoroughly and become a fragrant, beautiful girl!
Moreover, ahem.
As the owner of the body, it was only natural to get a good understanding of her own body.
With a hint of shyness and nine parts expectation, Bella walked into the bathroom.
One hour later~
Bella, her face slightly flushed but feeling refreshed, walked out of the bathroom in her pajamas.
Hmm, a girl's body truly is wonderful.
Paimon on the table seemed to have finished her dinner by now.
Ignoring Paimon, who, like the two downstairs, lay motionless on the table with a big belly,
Bella lay down on the bed.
During dinner, Theresa told her that during her treatment back at the academy, they had tested her Honkai energy adaptability strength.
It had surprisingly reached the strength of an S-Rank Valkyrie, and her combat power had also met the standard of a B-Rank Valkyrie.
Well, her stats showed her Honkai energy adaptability was already maxed out.
Therefore, Theresa directly arranged for her to be a transfer student in Kiana's senior class, and she would start attending classes with Kiana and the others tomorrow.
Kiana and Raiden Mei were also very happy to hear this news.
Bella hadn't expected to become classmates with Kiana and the others directly.
But this was good too, as Kiana and her friends were the only ones Bella was familiar with in this academy.
"It seems I'll be here for a while…"
Sleepiness washed over her, and Bella slowly closed her eyes.
Then the night finally returned to its usual stillness.
