Go back? There's no going back.

I don't know how much time passed, but the nun's fair cheeks suddenly turned red and she turned her gaze away slightly.

"Is there...something else that needs to be dealt with?"

Chapter 71: Don’t do this in front of the princess...hiss

In the bright bathroom, Su Wei leaned against the bathtub, motionless.

At this moment, his head was full of bubbles and his hair was being rubbed by a pair of gentle hands.

The nun is helping to wash my hair.

Although Su Wei had just made it clear that it was not necessary,... the nun seemed to have not heard her at all.

Instead, she smiled and responded, "How could I let you wash it yourself when I'm here?"

Even for a strong man who is half a step away from reaching the great perfection of the third level, the strength of the fourth level master is still a bit too great.

What's more, Su Wei is currently in a state of being restricted for some reasons.

Moreover, ever since the nun stepped into the bathroom and got closer to him, Su Wei clearly felt... his body was becoming more and more abnormal.

This guy... does he really have a special physique?

Closing his eyes and taking a deep breath silently, this thought gradually emerged in Su Wei's mind.

And soon he became convinced of this idea.

After all, all the abnormalities he encountered today happened almost all after he met this nun.

Moreover, Su Wei has remembered something.

In fact, this situation did not happen today.

Come to think of it, it was about the year before last.

At that time, the maid had not yet been dismissed by the princess, and Su Wei himself was still living in the First Palace.

At that time, after having his first dream in his life, Su Wei noticed that his sight was always inadvertently attracted to the maid at that time.

Some distracting thoughts gradually began to emerge in his mind. Fortunately, the maid at that time did not look as intimidating as she does now, so the impact on Su Wei was not too great.

But, from that time on, Su Wei, realizing the differences between men and women, began to try to keep his distance from the maid.

Even at night, I no longer have to bother the maid to put me to sleep.

Fortunately, perhaps because the maid had done a good job over the past six years, Su Wei no longer had those strange nightmares even after he started sleeping alone again.

However, Su Wei did not expect that until now, after reuniting with the maid... and the nun, this symptom would suddenly become much more severe.

What’s more, what Su Wei couldn’t understand the most now was that this nun was obviously no longer his maid, so why... was she still taking care of him like this?

It’s clear that after he resigned, he didn’t even reply to a single message I sent him for several months?

Thinking of this, Su Wei was silent for a moment, and suddenly asked directly: "At that time...why didn't you respond at all?"

Although he had said before that he didn't care about this matter, at that time, Su Wei had not yet accepted the help of the nun and had already planned to become a stranger in the future.

But now, the other party has helped him a lot, and Su Wei suddenly felt that he should at least ask.

"..."

However, after he finished speaking, the entire bathroom fell into a brief silence.

"I'm sorry, the reason for that incident... probably I won't tell you in this lifetime."

Finally, Su Wei heard the somewhat depressed voice of the nun: "But, at that time, I really wanted to respond to you... I hope you can believe me on this one point."

"……Yeah."

Hearing this, Su Wei was silent for a moment and said nothing more: "I see, sorry, before that... maybe I misunderstood."

The whole room fell silent again.

Swish-

Soon, as the bubbles on the top of his head were washed away, the nun had helped Su Wei rinse his hair clean.

Perhaps because it had been two years since they last did it, the nun's technique was obviously a little unfamiliar compared to what Su Wei remembered.

However, it was still a very comfortable experience.

"...Okay, now, turn around?"

At this moment, Su Wei heard the nun's gentle voice again, as she forced herself to cheer up.

"No, this is really not necessary."

After a moment of silence, Su Wei opened his eyes again and turned his head to look at the nun: "Front, I can wash it myself..."

"Oh...are you shy now?"

However, even though Su Wei had said this, the nun in front of him still had a slightly mocking look on her face: "Do you think there is something else about you that I haven't seen?"

However, if you listen carefully, you can tell that the nun's voice is... a little trembling.

There is no doubt that it is not only Su Wei who feels nervous in the somewhat awkward atmosphere in the room, but also the nun.

Even someone who used to blush when he secretly read study materials under the covers may be even more nervous than Su Wei now.

“…The past was the past, and the present is the present.”

Seeing the nun's weak reaction, Su Wei breathed a sigh of relief.

Although the fire had not yet died down, he still tried to speak in a calm tone: "Really, there is no need."

"..."

The two looked at each other. After a brief silence, the nun, whose face had already turned red, turned her eyes away slightly: "Then... I put the towel here?"

Sure enough, just as Su Wei thought, she was now even more panicked than he was.

"Ah."

Su Wei nodded.

Then he calmed down and watched the nun stand up and leave the bathroom.

Only after the bathroom door was closed again did Su Wei relax.

Taking the towel beside him, Su Wei wiped his body while thinking about what to do next.

Originally, he planned to come back to see the Fox Fairy's condition, take a shower, sleep in the dormitory for a night, and then go back to the first meeting venue tomorrow morning.

But now, having walked out of the venue with the help of the nun, he obviously couldn't do that.

After all, he remembered very clearly that when registering the entry and exit records... the other party used illusion to confuse his identity with that of the sturdy nun.

If he fails to get back before twelve o'clock, and the sturdy nun starts swiping her card to work the night shift... there will be a conflict in the record. At that time, the sturdy nun who has been replaced will not have any trouble, but the nun will definitely be in trouble.

Moreover, even if tomorrow's resurrection match has nothing to do with me as a participant in the main competition.

But considering that the Queen, who had already said that she would help him test the use of her sainthood ability, might come to the room to find him again, Su Wei had to go back as soon as possible.

After all... at this moment, just thinking about how the Queen would react when she found out that he was not in the room or even in the conference hall, Su Wei shuddered inexplicably.

Therefore, next, after taking a shower and waiting for the body's alert state to subside... Su Wei had to go back to the venue.

Thinking of this, Su Wei, who had already wiped his body, staggered out of the bathtub, sighed, looked up at the ceiling, and waited without saying a word.

Time passes quietly.

Perhaps because he was not affected by the nun during this period, Su Wei's condition was resolved smoothly.

After putting on his clothes, Su Wei opened the bathroom door and returned to the living room.

After hesitating for a moment, he decided to let the Fox Fairy continue to hide in the dormitory.

After all, although he also has a residence at the first venue, but... there is no safe suitable for placing the Fox Fairy in the room.

"... Let's go back to the venue first."

Su Wei collected his thoughts and looked at the nun who was sitting on the sofa in the living room, making tea with tea leaves from the dormitory. He was stunned and reminded her.

"Ah, okay."

Hearing the sound, the nun also stood up, poured the steaming hot tea into the thermos, and then followed Su Wei.

Before going out, Su Wei took out Toad Brother to confirm the time.

It is now 11:07 pm.

After putting the toad back into his pocket, Su Wei took the nun out of the training camp and found an "express" beast cart pulled by three bull beasts near the main gate.

If calculated according to the time my mother... and the time when the witch-sama took me from the training camp to the first meeting place, even if I rush there now, it will be past twelve o'clock.

However, considering that it was morning and the traffic was very congested, Su Wei felt that the patient could be rescued.

After getting into the carriage and agreeing on a fare of twenty silver coins with the driver, one of the three cows, which were originally leisurely, was whipped and immediately let out a loud howl and rushed straight forward.

“So fast.”

The beautiful azure eyes blinked gently, and the nun looked at the rapidly receding scenery outside the window with some curiosity.

"…It's OK, worth the four times the fare."

A faint fragrance lingered at the tip of his nose. Sniffing the other person's body, which was probably the most familiar scent to him in the past ten years, Su Wei was a little distracted and turned his head to look out the window.

Then, as if remembering something, he suddenly said, "Speaking of which... after I return to the venue, what are you going to do?"

Suddenly noticing the blind spot, Su Wei asked uncertainly, "Does your disguise illusion have to be activated on others when there is physical contact?"

“No need.”

Hearing this, the nun looked at Su Wei with some doubt and shook her head: "Although you need to shake hands when performing the spell, once it is completed, as long as you are within a certain distance from me, the illusion can be maintained."

“…I see.”

Hearing this, Su Wei breathed a sigh of relief, but quickly turned his head and stared at the nun next to him with a somewhat surprised look: "Then why did you specifically ask me to get closer to you?"

"Hmm? I just want you to be closer to me."

When asked this question, the nun tilted her head and looked at Su Wei with a puzzled look: "No?"

"..."

Their eyes met, and listening to the other party's somewhat straightforward response, Su Wei suddenly felt his heart skip a beat.

"That's not impossible."

After a moment of silence, Su Wei took a deep breath and said, "It's decided then. After you send me to the venue, please cast an illusion on me again. I will then enter the venue as your senior, and you can continue to ride this beast cart back to your residence."

"Thank you so much this time, it's been a great help."

After saying this, Su Wei reached out and lifted the curtain of the carriage in front of him, and was about to pay the nun's return fare in advance.

But at this moment, he suddenly heard the nun's sigh.

The words that were about to come out of his mouth paused slightly, and Su Wei subconsciously turned back to look at the latter.

But he found that the other party was looking at him with somewhat helpless eyes.

"That's too much."

Their eyes met, and she looked at him and whispered.

"…What's too much?"

Su Wei looked confused.

"You...are you planning to let a weak girl go back alone at this time? You are so afraid of the dark..."

As she said this, the nun paused for a moment, and suddenly became extremely depressed: "She used to be a good child who cared about others. When did she become so cold..."

"what?"

Looking at the nun who suddenly started talking nonsense, Su Wei suddenly felt unwell.

...Putting aside other things, are you serious about that "weak girl" you mentioned?

Su Wei couldn't remember ever seeing a weak girl who was so strong that even a strong man who was half a step away from the third level of perfection couldn't struggle free.

However, after thinking about it carefully, Su Wei also felt that what the nun said made sense.

After all, things in the royal city seemed a little uneasy recently.

Even the First Princess has become very busy in recent days because of a new type of corruption that can perfectly avoid all previous detection methods.
