The magic cards I made are absolutely flawless!

Amidst this great anticipation.

Regardless of how it actually turns out.

They will all be incredibly explosive.

408 Cornelia's Street Chat

A red-haired girl strolled through a narrow alley paved with stone slabs, the ancient buildings and walls made of bluestone casting deep red and pale white shadows on the roadside.

She wore a casual white dress, the hem of which swayed gently with her steps, and paired with her long red hair, she looked both free and relaxed.

When they first established the Happy Group, they spent most of their time at Hevenlitt Academy.

Therefore, when purchasing that mansion, they chose a location not far from the academy.

Even with such a leisurely walk, it only takes about ten minutes to get back to the college.

However, as they walked along, a sweet fragrance wafted over from the street.

"Ice cream that will make your cheeks melt with happiness! Only 10 coins!"

The recorded sound of a magical device echoed through the street, accompanied by the clattering of bells hanging on the shop door.

Cornelia looked in that direction and saw a small shop.

Every now and then, children cheered and ran along the stone-paved road toward the new shop.

Cornelia stopped and seemed to hesitate for a moment before deciding whether to buy one.

But after thinking about it, I decided against it.

I don't know if it's appropriate for a group of children to line up, and I'm not sure if it will delay class time.

I wish someone could buy it for her.

It would be even better if I ate with her.

Unfortunately, it's better to just think about it.

So she ignored the shop's existence and continued walking forward with determination.

She had only walked a few steps past the shop when a voice called out to her again.

Cornelia!

"Cornelia, my sister!"

Perhaps it's because her figure is very distinctive and easily recognized by acquaintances.

Cornelia turned around and saw two figures standing in front of the ice cream shop. She smiled and walked towards them.

It was Icardinos who brought Tata to this newly opened shop to buy ice cream.

They saw Cornelia as soon as they stepped out of the store.

Here, have one!

Icardinos was carrying a foil bag, seemingly intending to take it back to Happy Group.

When she saw Cornelia, she smiled and took out a box of ice cream in a hard cookie tin and handed it to Cornelia.

"Thank you, Icardinos."

Cornelia took the ice cream box and couldn't help but smile.

The feeling of having your wish fulfilled is far more enjoyable than receiving an ice cream in the process.

After receiving Cornelia's thanks, Icardinos chuckled a few times, revealing a shy smile.

The former silver-haired queen now wears an elegant and fitted dress, as if all that remains of her is natural, gentle beauty.

She has now taken over all of Dekan's business at Kaixin Group.

Although Dekan had said before leaving that it was a waste of her talents to have a ninth-level disciple help him manage the company, and that she should do something she wanted to do more.

But Icardinos insists that she is inheriting the family business to make up for regrets from her previous life.

Dekan could only smile helplessly.

Anyway, he couldn't be bothered with Happy Group anymore; as long as Eve was happy, that was all that mattered.

As they spent more time together, Cornelia felt that Icardinos was particularly kind to her.

Cornelia couldn't understand it at first.

It was only later that it was discovered that Icardinos may have extended the respect she had for Dekan to her as well.

It was because of Coraldia's departure during the Holy Kingdom period that Delois remained unmarried for life, which gave Eve the opportunity to become the successor of the legendary demon.

What Eve was most curious about was probably that human girl she had never met, yet who had completely changed her teacher.

"By the way, Icardinos, you gave me this one, and Alice went to Happy Group too. Will anyone not get any ice cream later?"

Cornelia suddenly thought of Alice, whom she had just parted ways with, and asked.

"No, I bought a lot."

Icardinos lifted the foil bag and shook it with a smile.

Actually, there aren't many people living permanently in Kaixin Group's mansion now.

The idol group arrived in Tristan City early to prepare for their final concert.

After this performance ends.

Tristine City is the home of Ice Princess, so she will stay there. Judith will likely go to Kuran Territory, while Flora will return to her hometown in Hanover Territory for a while before coming to the capital to begin her new acting career.

So now even their rooms are empty.

Aside from Icardinos and Tata, only Mier spends most of his time at the Happy Group's mansion conducting research.

Mia became almost Tata's substitute teacher, and Tata also enjoyed learning about the Shadow series of cards.

Back when they were taking the seventh-tier team assessment in the Kingdom of Landil, Tata was quite wary of this dangerous black-haired older sister when she first met Mier.

The two are now completely familiar with each other.

"Besides the ones for Teacher Mir, there are also some for Princess Alice. I'll make sure to eat the rest before they melt!"

Tata, standing next to Icardinos, added, scooping a spoonful of ice cream with a small wooden spoon and bringing it to her mouth, savoring the coolness and sweetness on her tongue while looking at Cornelia and Icardinos.

Suddenly, she seemed to stop caring about Cornelia and Icardinos's conversation, her face beaming with happiness.

Both of them were amused by Tata's reaction.

Although Tata inherited some traits from Taromati and some from Delois, he seems to resemble Taromati more.

That's fine.

Girls shouldn't be like Doloice; they should be like Talomatti to be more ladylike.

"Speaking of Cornelia, the teacher should be back in the next few days, right?"

"Yes, within three days. He said he would be back within six months."

"Hmm...it's not because of the news from the Empire that I'm keeping track of the time, but because of the teacher's promise?"

"Yes, he never breaks his word."

"That's true. Aside from being stubborn, teachers always keep their word."

Because the ice cream would melt quickly once it was taken out of the foil bag, they simply followed Tata's example and ate the ice cream directly, chatting casually at the same time.

Unlike queuing for shopping, where the time is unpredictable, Cornelia estimated that by the time they finished the box of ice cream, she would be back at school, and the time would be just right.

"If the teacher and Mr. Chloeux don't come back in the next day or two, they will miss the concert."

Icardinos sighed.

She had previously spent a lot of time organizing concerts for idol groups.

She originally wanted to postpone it a little longer.

When asked for their opinions, Judith and Flora had no ideas, but Ice Princess clearly stated: This time is fine, no need to change it.

Ikatinos could tell that the Snow Princess had feelings for her teacher.

The reason they don't want to change the time is probably because of the teacher.

The timing is actually quite subtle.

The subtle point is that it feels like there's a 50% chance Dekan and Chloeux will come back, and a 50% chance they won't make it back.

But Ikadinos didn't know whether the Snow Princess wanted her teacher to come back or not.

Reluctantly, Icardinos chose not to intervene rashly.

As the teacher said: given that Clay is missing, we should just start working on the problem directly.

The more you do, the more mistakes you'll make!

409 Cornelia's chance encounter at dusk

Clay went missing a few days ago.

Icardinos was already worried about her teacher.

Previously, when there was no Klay or when Klay was in sight.

When a teacher encounters the emotionally unstable Ice Princess, the probability of triggering a cataclysmic event is 100%.

Before the appearance of the Ice Princess.

The probability of things not going as planned when a teacher encounters Clay is 100%.

But Icardinos had no choice.

Because, as her teacher once said, the more you do, the more mistakes you make. Even though she still has room to maneuver, she worries that she might accidentally send her teacher to his death.

All I can do is pray for my teacher in advance.

I hope the goddess will bless me.

Considering how devout the teacher was.
