Chapter 4: Senior Sister

The place where freshmen handled their enrollment procedures was Bai Zhi Plaza.

It was said that the plaza was named this way to commemorate the pioneer of modern magic, a wise figure who brought both the witch system and magical girl system into this world.

Of course, the most important reason was simply because the required space was too large.

Only a place like this or the sports field could accommodate it properly.

“Your name is Bai Qiqi, right? What an adorable little junior~”

“Yes, Senior Sister. My name is Bai Qiqi.”

Bai Qiqi revealed a sweet smile toward the senior student handling enrollment.

Spy Rule Number Two:

You must maintain good relationships with the people here.

That was extremely important for gathering intelligence.

Seeing Bai Qiqi’s smile, the senior sister felt like her heart was about to melt from cuteness.

Such an adorable little treasure had suddenly appeared right before her eyes.

She almost wanted to directly pick the girl up and play with her properly.

If they were somewhere else, she definitely would have already done it.

Unfortunately, this was a public place…

“You just need to fill out this form according to the instructions.”

While waiting for Bai Qiqi to complete the form, the senior secretly snapped a few photos with her phone, planning to use them as wallpapers later.

Sure enough…

A serious loli was the cutest…

Watching Bai Qiqi carefully filling out the form, she couldn’t help sighing sincerely.

The rest of the process was rather simple…

With the senior sister’s assistance, Bai Qiqi quickly selected a suitable ceremonial uniform, along with a badge…

Or perhaps it should be called a school emblem?

The emblem’s main body had the shape of a six-pointed star combined with a curved metal plate.

Magic runes were engraved across its surface, with a pale blue gemstone embedded in the center.

“Little one, make sure to keep this safe.”

“There’s a small protective magic formation inside this badge.”

“Although its power isn’t anything impressive… it can still save your life during a critical moment.”

Bai Qiqi nodded as she watched the senior pin the badge onto her chest.

Even if the power wasn’t that great…

Free stuff was still better than nothing.

“And this too.”

“You absolutely can’t lose it~”

“This is your student ID.”

“And this is the academy’s specially customized phone.”

“It can only be activated after binding it to your student ID.”

“Since the academy isn’t located in normal space, your original phone won’t have any signal here.”

After helping Bai Qiqi bind the student ID, the senior handed over the phone.

Looking at the large-screen device in her hands, Bai Qiqi became extremely curious.

It was her first time seeing something so novel.

The vampire race didn’t have things like this before!

She held it curiously and fiddled with it a few times.

“Since Qiqi already has a phone now…”

“How about adding each other on Hongxin?”

“If there’s anything you don’t understand in daily life or studies, you can ask your senior sister directly~”

After speaking, she took out her own phone and looked at Bai Qiqi expectantly.

“Okay, pretty Senior Sister…”

“But what’s Hongxin?”

Bai Qiqi scratched her head awkwardly.

It couldn’t be helped.

As a vampire, she truly knew very little about human things.

“Eh?”

“You don’t know what Hongxin is?”

“And don’t call me pretty Senior Sister~”

“Although I do love hearing it…”

“My name is Tian Lili.”

“You can just call me Sister Lili.”

After hearing Bai Qiqi call her “pretty Senior Sister,” Tian Lili felt as though she had eaten honey.

To think she would encounter such a cute and sweet-talking junior sister.

This had to be fate.

But this little girl actually didn’t even know what Hongxin was…

“Okay then, pretty Sister Lili.”

Bai Qiqi blinked and spoke sweetly.

Back in vampire society, she had long mastered the art of sweet talk in order to coax her sisters into helping with homework or taking the blame for her mistakes.

When it came to complimenting people, she could go half an hour without repeating herself.

“But I really don’t know what Hongxin is…”

“No one in my family has ever used it before…”

“Ah…”

“I-I see…”

“Qiqi’s family must be struggling financially too, huh?”

The moment those words left her mouth, Tian Lili immediately wanted to slap herself.

If someone didn’t even know what Hongxin was, wasn’t the answer obvious?!

In modern society, unless someone lived deep in the mountains, practically everyone knew what Hongxin was.

Wasn’t what she just said basically rubbing salt into this adorable junior sister’s wounds?

Her family was struggling financially?

Hearing Tian Lili’s words, Bai Qiqi immediately fell into deep thought…

Her family probably wasn’t that poor, right?

Out of the thirteen domains of the Other Side, her family controlled three domains and one hundred twenty-eight cities.

Though recently, the pressure on the family did seem pretty high…

Even a little freeloader like her had been forced to start working…

From Tian Lili’s perspective, Bai Qiqi lowering her head in thought naturally looked like sadness.

Did her words just stab directly into the girl’s heart?

Would Bai Qiqi end up with a bad impression of her now?

In Tian Lili’s imagination, she even pictured the two of them cutting ties forever.

A sorrowful feeling immediately appeared in her heart…

Worst case scenario, I’ll just support her myself!

That thought suddenly emerged inside Tian Lili’s mind.

After all, she owned her own entertainment establishment on Yuri Street.

Supporting a few extra little girls wouldn’t be difficult at all.

“Oh~ so this is Hongxin~”

After Tian Lili finished setting everything up, Bai Qiqi revealed an enlightened expression filled with curiosity.

So this was Hongxin…

Seeing that Bai Qiqi didn’t seem especially hurt or upset, Tian Lili quietly sighed in relief.

Thankfully, this little one was strong enough mentally.

She wanted to spend more time with Bai Qiqi, but unfortunately the people lining up behind them had already become impatient and began urging her to hurry up.

Reluctantly, she could only hand Bai Qiqi over to someone else…

“Xing Mian, help escort this little junior sister to her dorm!”

“Huh?”

“It’s actually East District, Row One, Building One?!”

Looking at the information on the computer, Tian Lili wore an expression as though she had just seen a ghost.

Her eyes were filled with disbelief.

“Senior Sister, is there some problem?”

Bai Qiqi blinked innocently.

Information was incredibly important.

Sometimes, even the smallest detail could determine life or death.

She would never miss a chance to gather intel.

“Little one, do you know what Row One, Building One represents?”

Tian Lili asked seriously.

“Uh?”

“What does it represent?”

Bai Qiqi genuinely had no idea.

It sounded very important though.

“It means you’re ranked first in your grade!”

“The academy dormitories are assigned from front to back according to ranking within each academy.”

“Each dorm houses four people.”

“In other words, you’re at least within the top four of your entire year~”

“Eh?”

“I have to live with other people?”

Hearing that she would be living together with others, panic flashed across Bai Qiqi’s face.

Living with others would massively increase the possibility of her secret being exposed!

And if dorm assignments were based on strength…

Wouldn’t that mean Su Yanshi might become her roommate too?

That would be troublesome…

“Of course!”

“The academy isn’t luxurious enough to give everyone their own private villa.”

“Right now, having one villa for every four people is already considered extremely generous.”

“Oh right, I forgot to mention.”

“It’s not that all four of you sleep in the same room.”

“You’re just living in the same house.”

“There are plenty of rooms inside the villa.”

“Ah, Xing Mian is here!”

“Little one, hurry and head over with that senior sister.”

“And remember to contact me on Hongxin~”

“Mhm!”

“Goodbye, pretty Senior Sister!”

Bai Qiqi waved at Tian Lili before walking toward the newcomer.
