Xiao Shi “Kiana!” Raiden Mei cried out upon seeing this scene.
At the same time, Kiana and Bronya, who had heard the commotion, followed her over.
When they saw the older Kiana in the kitchen, Kiana couldn’t help saying, “Oh, it’s you.
You’re awake?” “Kiana, do you know this person?” Bronya analyzed from the side.
“She looks a lot like you.
Could it be that you two…
“…are relatives?” Hearing Bronya’s words, Kiana scratched her head and was just about to explain how the older Kiana had suddenly appeared on her bed.
At that moment, footsteps sounded outside the house.
With a bang, the front door was shoved open.
Theresa stood outside, panting.
After taking a deep breath, she walked in.
After returning to her room earlier, Theresa had only lain down for a little while when she remembered what she had forgotten—the matter concerning the older Kiana.
She had originally planned to wait until Kiana finished school, then find two trustworthy doctors from St.
Freya Academy to examine the older Kiana.
However, the Stigmata Theater had made her completely forget about it.
As soon as she remembered, she hurriedly ran over.
The moment Theresa entered, she walked straight inside and saw Bronya and the other two gathered around the older Kiana.
She immediately guessed what had happened and quickly came up with a plan.
Before Kiana could speak, Theresa directly told everyone, “That’s right.
She’s Kiana’s relative.
“She only arrived at St.
Freya Academy this morning, and she’ll also become a Valkyrie from now on.
“Since she has only just enrolled at St.
Freya Academy and there aren’t any vacant dorm rooms, she’ll be living with all of you for a while.
That won’t be a problem, right?” After hearing this, Kiana understood that Theresa probably didn’t want the truth about the older Kiana to get out.
Although Kiana felt that this was unnecessary, Raiden Mei was definitely trustworthy, and as for that tiny Bronya, she supposed she could trust her for now too.
In any case, no one in this room would casually leak information about the older Kiana.
However, since Theresa had already said so, Kiana could only nod and go along with her explanation.
Bronya seemed to think of something.
Looking at the older Kiana, she said, “So she’s Kiana’s relative, but does she have any other clothes to wear?
“She can’t exactly go to class at the academy dressed like this, can she?
Also, what’s her name?” Those questions immediately left both Theresa and Kiana dumbfounded.
Theresa reluctantly replied, “…She only just arrived at the academy, so it seems she didn’t bring any changes of clothes.
“Kiana, lend her some of yours!
The two of you look like you’re about the same size.” Theresa hadn’t noticed before, but upon taking a closer look, the older Kiana seemed to possess a much more mature air than Kiana.
That was why she looked older.
In reality, however, the two Kianas were almost identical in both figure and appearance.
As for her name, Theresa was just about to make one up to brush the matter aside when the older Kiana, who was sitting on the floor, spoke.
“Xiao Shi.” “Hm?” Hearing this, everyone turned to look at her.
Xiao Shi continued, “My name is Xiao Shi.” Upon hearing this, Raiden Mei helped Xiao Shi up from the floor.
She glanced at the half piece of cake Xiao Shi had just finished eating.
Wasn’t that the piece she had left unfinished earlier?
That small piece of cake wasn’t much at all.
Come to think of it, Xiao Shi had apparently arrived at the academy early this morning, yet she still hadn’t eaten anything until now.
No wonder she had gone to the refrigerator to look for cake on her own.
Raiden Mei said with some sympathy, “Kiana, take Xiao Shi to change her clothes first!
I’ll go cook.
“She probably hasn’t eaten dinner yet, so let’s all eat together later!
Academy Principal, would you like to stay for dinner?” Theresa immediately became delighted upon hearing this.
“All right, then this Academy Principal will stay and have something to eat.
Also, I’d like some Bitter Melon Juice.” Theresa had already intended to stay and observe the situation, and she also had a few things she wanted to say to Xiao Shi in private afterward.
Everyone soon busied themselves.
Bronya went to help Raiden Mei cook, but before leaving, she took one last look at Xiao Shi’s clothes and said nothing.
Kiana brought Xiao Shi into her room and casually found a set of everyday clothes for her to wear.
During the process, Kiana also noticed the strange purple patterns on Xiao Shi’s body.
They didn’t look like tattoos.
Instead, they resembled Stigmata.
Come to think of it, Kiana remembered that when she first saw Xiao Shi, there seemed to be several pairs of pure white wings on her back.
But now, after directly examining Xiao Shi’s smooth back, she found it completely bare and unblemished.
Unable to resist, she reached out and touched it a couple of times.
There truly wasn’t anything resembling the structure of wings.
Could she have seen it wrong that morning?
When she raised her head, she saw Xiao Shi turning slightly and staring at her with a bewildered look.
Kiana smiled awkwardly and stopped what she was doing.
Afterward, she quickly helped Xiao Shi put on the clothes.
Since Xiao Shi might not have eaten for a long time, Raiden Mei cooked quickly, but that didn’t stop her from preparing a lavish meal.
Everyone gathered together and enjoyed a hearty dinner.
After dinner, Theresa found an opportunity to bring Xiao Shi into a corner and quietly said to her, “Xiao Shi, the past is the past.
As long as you’re at St.
Freya Academy, this Academy Principal will definitely protect you.
“From now on, enroll at St.
Freya Academy as a Valkyrie and enjoy a wonderful academy life!” Theresa didn’t ask about Xiao Shi’s past because the two of them hadn’t established any trust yet.
Casually asking about someone else’s past might cause Xiao Shi to become resistant toward her.
In any case, as long as Xiao Shi remained within St.
Freya Academy, Theresa was confident that she could protect her, regardless of whether she had once been an experimental subject or something else.
Now that she had come to the academy, she was Theresa’s student.
Even her grandfather, Otto, wouldn’t be allowed to take Xiao Shi away again.
Theresa had already assumed that Xiao Shi’s appearance was probably inextricably connected to her grandfather, Otto.
After hearing the Academy Principal’s words, Xiao Shi tilted her head slightly, not quite understanding what Theresa meant.
Even so, she nodded to show that she understood.
Theresa was extremely satisfied by this.
Placing both hands on her hips, she said confidently, “Tomorrow, I’ll take you for a few medical examinations.
“For tonight, sleep together with Kiana.
Once morning comes, I’ll have a room prepared for you.” ★ ★ ★ Shilling time!
