Cornflower Witch

Chapter 357 The Harmonious Trio

Asla District, the new student registration area.

A girl wearing a pink pleated skirt sat in the car, waiting for the maid to bring her her arrival confirmation and arrangements.

"Miss, it's all done." Half an hour later, after helping her queue up and spending a lot of time proving her identity and going through all the hassle, the maid finally got what she needed.

The girl inside fanned herself with a silk folding fan, then took the item from her hand and glanced at it briefly.

"They actually assigned me to Narcissus Street." She frowned unhappily, then threw the thing away.

The maidservant beside her quickly picked up the reply slip and the arrangement letter, not daring to say anything more.

"Take me to my aunt's house, and move my things there too."

"Yes, miss." The driver started the heavy steam locomotive and then turned.

An hour later, the girl arrived at a luxurious mansion surrounded by a group of servants. The mansion had a separate courtyard and the rooms inside were also magnificent.

After finding the lady of the house, she snuggled into her arms and complained about being assigned to a bad place to live.

“I’ve heard about it. Narcissus Street was built fifty years ago. It’s probably crawling with rats and leaking now. And yet they’ve assigned me there.”

"Auntie, I don't want to go. Can I stay at your house?" She shook the plump lady opposite her.

The other party inquired carefully, then took the receipt handed to them by the maid and looked through it.

“No. 109 Narcissus Street…this should be one of the best places for freshmen to stay.” She seemed to know the situation better.

"It's really just average. After all, there are too many new students, and the accommodation costs are covered by the Alliance's finances, so naturally they can't provide very good places."

"It's alright, Hu Tao, you can stay here with your aunt. As for the school, I'll have someone talk to them and get their approval."

"Thank you, Auntie!" the girl immediately cheered.

……

Meanwhile, as darkness fell, Hiltia and her two roommates still hadn't seen their last companion, so they decided to go out for dinner.

According to the dormitory manager, there are many bakeries in the area where you can buy bread to fill your stomach. Of course, if you have money, you can go to a better restaurant to eat.

With the wealthy young lady Luo Wei'er in the party, the three of them chose a restaurant not far from the dormitory building.

Upon entering, they found that many freshmen were already having meals and chatting there, with both the first and second floors packed with people.

"It's so lively." Luo Weier held a folding fan with thin velvet trim in her hand, slightly obscuring her face, and fanning away the various smells of food and people in front of her.

"Are there any seats available upstairs?" she asked a waiter.

"There's more at the very top, but it'll be very expensive," the other person replied respectfully, glancing at the young lady's attire.

"Take us there."

"Okay." The waiter immediately led the three of them up the stairs and to the top floor, the fourth floor.

There are still plenty of empty seats here, and with fewer customers, the air is fresher.

"This is it." The three of them found a seat by the window and sat down. Luo Weier's elaborate and gorgeous dress was spread out on the seat, and the various ornaments on her body were like seashells and starfish on the beach.

Next came the ordering. Lovre seemed curious and excited about all the dishes she hadn't tried before. Aurora ordered only 'Rye Crisps' as a simple main course, while Hiltiya ordered 'Garlic Roasted Porcini Mushrooms' and 'Sweet Bread'. Lovre looked at the menu and ordered 'Honey Roasted Venison' and 'Almond Milk Jelly'.

"There's so much more I want to eat, but Mom says if I don't eat it all, I'll get fat and won't look good." Luo Weier put down the menu with a hint of regret.

Then came the time for the group to wait and chat. "I'm from Ellafendi in the Harp Flower Union. There are lots of beautiful flowers there, and my family runs a flower shop," Luo Wei'er introduced herself.

"Flower shop business?" Xilutiya thought for a moment. If it were just one or two ordinary flower shops, they certainly couldn't afford to support a young lady like Luo Weier. She guessed that Luo Weier's family was probably a local monopolistic wealthy family.

At this moment, Hilti noticed the egg-sized golden gem on Lovir's chest, which was engraved with very fine patterns. Upon closer inspection, it appeared to be a special kind of lily.

"Loveel, the jewel on your chest, is that the family crest?" Hiltiya asked curiously.

“Ah, this is it. That’s right, it’s my family crest. It’s the ‘Radiant Lily,’ a rare flower that emits a halo.” Lowell pressed her finger lightly against the gem, and a soft halo spread from it.

Even without a deep understanding of gemology, Hilti could tell that this was no ordinary object, probably containing the power of a fourth-order elemental aspect. However, she had used excellent methods to conceal its light, suppressing the aura it emitted to below the second order.

In this world, only the royal families of kingdoms are generally allowed to use flowers as their family crest. Even if the Lowell family is not royal, they should still be a powerful and wealthy family of the same level. Even the previous Regas royal family could only use fir trees as their family crest, and could not use flowers.

After talking about Lowell, it's time for Aurora.

“I come from the Greater Ero district. I don’t have any special skills, I just like dolls.” After saying that, Aurora lowered her head and continued to gently stroke the fluffy doll in her arms.

"Did you make this yourself? It's so cute." Luo Weier looked at the doll in her arms with great curiosity.

“No, it was Father who did it.” Aurora shook her head.

“I didn’t do it well,” she replied briefly.

"Hey, it's okay, you'll definitely be able to make cute dolls in the future." Luo Weier cheered her on.

Finally, the conversation turned to Sylvia.

"Hedra, and you?"

“I come from ‘Quebec’ in Meteor Lake, a place with gentle sea breezes and delicious pears,” Hilutia recalled.

“Quebec? I think I’ve heard of him,” Lovel recalled.

"By the way, someone from my family told me before that the port there is developing very well, and that I could consider opening a new store there."

With Lowell's encouragement, the three of them gradually had more to talk about. Even after the meal was served, they didn't stop talking. However, Lowell spoke the most, accounting for 60% of the conversation, while Sylvia spoke for 30% and Aurora for only 10%.

After enjoying the delicious meal, the three of them went downstairs, chatting as they went, and returned to their accommodation.

Although there are hot water pipes in the dormitory, the water is not hot enough, making it somewhat unappealing to step out in the autumn.

“Let me try.” Luo Wei’er took out an amber-gold crystal ball from her suitcase, put it in the water, and soon it began to emit a gentle heat, keeping the water temperature at a suitable level.

"Before I left, my brother specially commissioned an alchemist to make this for me. It's said that it can be used while taking a bath, so the water temperature won't get cold." Luo Wei'er touched the warm water with satisfaction.

"I haven't used it at home because the bathroom is always comfortable."

"In addition, because I am of the 'blazing sun' nature, I can also charge this crystal ball, so there is no need to worry about it running out of energy."

With this treasure, the three of them were finally able to take a hot bath, then change into their pajamas. At Lowell's suggestion, they put the remaining three beds together and slept side by side, with Lowell on the left, Siltiya in the middle, and Aurora on the right.

As night fell, the three of them gradually grew sleepy as they talked. Lowell was the first to fall asleep, clinging to Sylvia's arm. Aurora followed, and after recounting her childhood stories in a half-asleep state, her breathing also gradually calmed down.

Looking at the moonlit ceiling, Hilti looked back on the past and compared it to the present, and finally drifted off to sleep with a faint sense of anticipation.

Although it was their first time living together, the three of them surprisingly had no barriers between them and easily became familiar with and accepted each other, listening to each other's breathing as they spent their first night in the college area.
