Alice in the Land of Steam

Chapter 1255: Give Him to Me?

"help me?"

Leticia looked at the smiling Princess Haixi with suspicion, not really believing her words: "How do you want to help me?"

If it were anyone else, she wouldn't be so direct even if she had doubts, but Rorona was different. In the eyes of the little bat, this guy was definitely the most dangerous guy on the island besides Xiao Xia. Although she always had a smiling face, no one actually knew what bad ideas she was up to. Even the seemingly ordinary alchemy workshop hid many dangerous and suspicious props. Leticia once worked with Shemi to instigate Metien to attract Rorona's attention, and the two sneaked into the alchemy workshop, hoping to use some props to play pranks, such as playing a trick on the hateful Alice. However, the final result... She didn't want to recall it, but it was very profound.

Especially since this guy is very smart and never suffers any loss. He is being so attentive to me now, so he must want to get something from me!

The little bat became more alert.

"Oh, don't be so cold, little Letty, it will make me sad." Having said that, there was no sign of sadness on her face. She is indeed a woman who can lie with open eyes and is actually very shameless!
Leticia became even more alert and subconsciously took two steps back, intending to retreat. But in order not to appear too timid and let others look down on her, she would never admit defeat: "I don't care if you are hurt or not, I don't need your help anyway! Also, don't call me in such a disgusting way!"

What little Letty? She seems like a little girl who likes to play with dolls!
"Yes, yes, I'm sorry. I apologize to you. To show my sincerity, how about I call you... Lady Leticia?"

Lorena readily changed the name. The little bat felt that her attitude was a bit casual, but the name did suit his preferences, so he reluctantly agreed.

"In that case, Lady Leticia really doesn't need my help?" Princess Umi blinked her eyes, looking like she was sincerely thinking about you: "What I can do for you depends on what you want."

In other words, whatever you want, I can help you.

The little bat was indeed tempted, but her instinct told her to stay calm and not agree easily. She had to at least figure out the other party's true intentions: "Why do you want to help me? Is there any benefit for you?"

"Alas." Hearing this, Rorona sighed and looked very melancholy. "I just couldn't bear to see you worried and sad, so I wanted to do my best to help you. Why are you so alert? Even if we put aside our identities as companions, we are still sisters. Is it strange for a sister to want to help her sister?"

She looked at Leticia with great anticipation. Her eyes were so sincere that one could not bear to look at them directly. They were even clearer than the water in the Lujian Sea - of course, when it was not polluted.

The corner of the little bat's mouth twitched slightly. She remembered that last time, when she and Shemi sneaked into the alchemy workshop to steal props, Lorena was chatting with Medien at the door. At that time, she must have noticed that her workshop had been invaded, but she pretended to be indifferent until the two of them were playing around in the workshop with the alchemy props she left and were about to collapse. Then she came late, saying words of apology, but in fact she was completely mocking and teasing - Oh, I forgot to put the props away. I didn't expect to hurt you by mistake. I'm so sorry. By the way, where did you come from? Medien and I were chatting at the door. How come I didn't see you? Leticia and Shemi were embarrassed and dared not say a word.

Later, I heard from Medien that when she was chatting with Sister Rorona, she found that she always had a smile on her face. It was the kind of creepy, scary smile that made people think she had ulterior motives.

Would a caring sister show such a smile when her sister is suffering? It's clearly gloating!
From that day on, Leticia listed Rorona as the second on the "Ranking of Dangerous People in Yunjing Sky Island", and the first was Xiaoxia (By the way, the second place was originally supposed to be a countess, but under the coercion of an unknown person, the little bat humiliatingly removed her name and listed her as the first on the "Ranking of the Best Grandmas in the World").

(By the way, Alice is ranked third on the list of dangerous people.)
"Don't you believe me?" Rorona sighed in disappointment. "That's all I can do. I was thinking I could help you grow up faster..."

"I believe you!"

At this moment, nothing is more important than becoming an adult, so Leticia agreed without hesitation, staring at Rorona with sharp eyes: "So, how can you help me?"

"Before that, let me confirm one thing first." Rorona asked casually, "Have you already figured out how to become an adult? And that method has something to do with Lingge, right?"

"How could you-"

The little bat was horrified, thinking, I have concealed it very well, how did you know? Rorona's mouth twitched, wanting to laugh but not daring to laugh, thinking, of course, she overheard it just now. But she would not make the low-level mistake of saying what was in her heart, and still looked at Leticia with a smile. The latter's face was uncertain, thinking about it, she felt that her opponent was indeed only Shemi. As for Rorona, she was already an adult, so what could she do even if she knew this method? So she stopped hiding it and honestly told Rorona the method she learned from her grandmother's collection of books.

After hearing this, the latter's eyes flickered: "So, you stayed in Ling'er's room last night?"

"That's right." The little bat crossed his arms, looking depressed. "But I didn't become an adult when the sun rose. Something must have gone wrong. I decided to try a few more times. I hope I can succeed!"

"Haha, if it doesn't work once, try a few more times. That's really your style, little Letty." Lorena praised hypocritically, and then changed the subject: "But how do you know that Ling Ge has the patience to accompany you to try a few more times? Even if he has the patience, I'm afraid he doesn't have the time and energy."

"Who said that?"

The little bat was so angry that he ignored Lorena's address to him for a moment, and repeatedly emphasized: "If he doesn't agree, then... cough cough, anyway, that idiot has already promised me, and he must do what he promised, otherwise I won't let him go! As for time and energy, I see that he is very idle every day, so it's just right to find him something to do!"

It was a close call, as he almost told Lingge about threatening Lingge with his first kiss. Fortunately, even though the little bat was angry, he still kept a trace of rationality and stopped at the last moment, thus avoiding a big mistake.

"Is that right?"

Lorena blinked her eyes with an innocent expression, without any trace of acting: "But I heard that Lingge is very busy every night. In addition to preparing lessons for the students, he also has to accompany Olvera to write manuscripts and coax Yieta to sleep. Even when he falls asleep, he may not be free. Bai Ye is always squatting in his dreams. The two of them must have something important to do, right? He is so busy, it is good enough that he can spare one night a week to accompany you. At this efficiency, how long will it take for you to become an adult? As for Shemy, it may not be the case. As long as she is willing to study fairy magic seriously, Miss Shesta and Miss Shelia will definitely be eager to use 24 hours a day to teach her..."

rub!
A strand of hair on the top of the little bat's head stood up stubbornly, like a warning antenna. Maybe Rorona was just exaggerating, but Leticia would never allow herself to lose to Shemy, not even a one in ten thousand chance! If even that childish Shemy became an adult before her, what qualifications did she have to speak so arrogantly?
Under Rorona's anxious output, she successfully ignited a sense of crisis that did not exist before, and asked hurriedly: "Then what should I do?"

How to do?
You've asked the right person. "It's actually very easy to solve." Rorona gave her a mysterious smile: "Since Lingge is not free, let's make him free."

Leticia was thoughtful.

At the same time, Lingge sneezed inexplicably in the distance, and Xinuo, who was walking beside him, smiled and said, "It seems that you have a cold, Lingge. The weather is indeed a bit cold recently, so you have to exercise more. By the way, do you want to take my physical education class with the students? I will teach you how to play wind flower ball. I believe the students will be very happy if you come to class too."

Ling Ge rubbed his nose and replied: "Maybe I can consider it."

Saint Shallia, who also wanted to care about his health but was a step slower than Shino, looked at the young man who was thinking on the left, and looked at her sister who had a natural look on her right. After a while... she seemed to be thinking about something.

……

At night, after taking a bath, Princess Beman sat at the desk with wet long hair. She wanted to finish the manuscript that she had not finished last time, but she stared at the blank paper for half an hour without writing a single word. Finally, she gave up thinking, walked to the bed irritably, dragged out a pillow that had been there for a long time but had not been used from under the bed, imagined it to be someone, and punched it hard, making a dull sound.

"Damn you!" The princess asked, half complaining and half venting, "Are you coming tonight or not?!"

The pillow slowly fell down, as if giving a negative answer, and Ovella was so angry that she wanted to punch it again, but fortunately she held back.

Her Royal Highness the Princess of Bemang must not be so rude, even if Lingge was at fault first... yes, it was Lingge's fault!
She wanted to ask at the dinner table, but everyone was there, especially Sister Xiao Xia, so Princess Bemang had to hold back for the time being. Although she had a vague feeling that Sister Xiao Xia had discovered her and Ling Ge's bad deeds... ah, it was a good thing... it didn't seem right, it was always that Sister Xiao Xia had discovered the little secret between her and Ling Ge, but for some reason she didn't expose it. Ovella naturally wanted to keep it this way, you know, I know, but if everyone pretends not to know, no one will get hurt.

Either she felt guilty or was afraid, in short, Princess Beimang did not have the courage to challenge her elder sister for the time being, let alone question Lingge in public.

It was possible to hint with her eyes, but unfortunately she was stopped by Alice after winking for a long time. After dinner, the genius player said to her smugly, "No one noticed your hint. Only I am willing to play with you. Now you know who treats you well, right?" The princess was so angry that she didn't talk to her for a long time.

Last time, he missed the appointment for no reason (he went to watch the meteors with Rorona), and he didn't come last night (he was controlled by Leticia). In Olvera's eyes, Ling's laziness is getting worse day by day. If this continues, will he have to ask for leave and skip classes? He is a teacher, but he doesn't even have the most basic concept of punctuality and attendance discipline? How can he teach students and be a good role model for children?
Ovilla is very worried about this and hopes that Lingge can wake up soon and turn back.

It's better to correct it tonight, then it's not too late, and I can consider forgiving you...

At this moment, the door handle clicked and slowly turned.

Eh, is it really coming?
Olvera's wish came true. She was so happy that she didn't forget to smooth out the wrinkles on the pillow, so that Lingge wouldn't find out that someone had punched the innocent pillow. Ahem, a lady should be reserved and calm. She should follow etiquette in everything she does. How could she do something to vent her anger? It must be some inner personality that controlled my body just now. Bai Ye is really scary...

After throwing the pot away without any psychological burden, Princess Beman slowly turned around, trying to put on a leisurely attitude to face the visitor, telling him that, in fact, I am not that anxious, but, seeing that you sincerely admit your mistakes, I can also consider giving you a chance to atone your sins. After all, I am both elegant and full of conscience... Eh?

There was no sight of the young man she had imagined. In fact, there was nothing in front of her except for the door that was slightly opened. Ovella was stunned for a moment. After she came to her senses, she slowly moved her gaze downwards, and finally fixed her gaze on a small white head.

"Leticia?"

The identity of the visitor was beyond Princess Beman's expectations. She was more surprised than disappointed: "Why are you here?"

She wanted to ask if you had found the wrong room. Metien's room was across the room. No, Metien was gone. What was the point of going to her room? Shemi's room was next to Metien's, but it didn't look like the little bat wanted to play with her.

"I'm here to see you, Olvera...sister."

The little bat called out the name reluctantly, of course not because she was polite, but because before coming, Lorena repeatedly emphasized the importance of the name. A suitable name can save a lot of trouble and may even achieve the goal directly.

Sure enough, when she heard the name "sister", Ovella felt a little dizzy. Perhaps she put herself in the role of Xiao Xia's sister. For a moment, she even forgot to condemn the rude behavior of the little bat barging in without knocking. She replied incoherently: "Ah, yes, yes, I am your sister. You, you, you came to see me, there is, ahem! What's the matter? I will try my best to help you solve it?"

She tried to show the aura of Sister Xiao Xia, calm, confident, gentle yet strict, able to tolerate her sisters' mistakes and be a solid support for them... Unfortunately, the final result was obviously a complete failure.

Leticia shuddered, feeling so sick—she almost wanted to shout, but luckily she held it back.

Not wanting to dwell on the sisterhood for too long, she simply tightened her face and got straight to the point: "Sister Aoweila, I want you--"

"kindness?"

"Give me Lingge!"

"Eh!!?"

Give me some meow
