Chapter 10: Golden-Haired Loli Believes Tablets Are Justice!

“Good morning, Jiang Cha. I’m He Qin from Room No. 2.”

Early the next morning, as the girl stepped out of the dormitory, the first thing she saw was a huge bun hairstyle.

Ah no, it was a witch with a bun.

The bun-girl gracefully gave her a slight bow, her delicate and obedient face wearing the gentlest smile.

Yes, He Qin’s appearance could only be described as obedient — the kind of look that immediately tells you, “This is a well-behaved girl.”

Pretty, pleasant to look at, without any hint of hostility.

Soft, like a calm pond.

“Ah, hello Bun, I’m Jiang Cha.”

The girl was a little stunned, her eyes fixed on He Qin’s relatively small head topped with an unusually huge black bun.

Actually, it should be a Japanese-style “hime” hairstyle, but perhaps due to the sheer volume and length of her hair, the bun became correspondingly huge. If she were human, the weight alone would be enough to strain her neck.

But she was a witch, and her magic power was at the level of a great witch. Her strong physique allowed He Qin to walk and live effortlessly with that enormous bun on her head.

‘My roommates really all have such distinctive personalities…’

Jiang Cha sighed internally. One roommate, from Room No. 1, was a super socially anxious shut-in according to Lina; another was the super talkative energetic girl Lina herself; and then there was He Qin — clearly Chinese by name but completely exuding the vibe of a traditional Japanese Yamato Nadeshiko, with the huge bun hairstyle.

By contrast, Jiang Cha felt she was the one with the most inconspicuous personality.

“Bun…?”

He Qin tilted her head, and as she did, her smooth black hair fluttered slightly. Of course, the most eye-catching thing was still that enormous bun, which made it impossible to look away.

“Nothing, nothing. Hello, He Qin.”

The girl laughed awkwardly, waving her hand to cover up her slip.

“Yesterday Lina told me Jiang Cha is a super beautiful girl. Seeing you today, it’s true.”

“He Qin, you’re very pretty too. Ah, just call me Jiang Cha. We’re roommates now, no need to be so formal.”

“Then I shall respectfully obey, Jiang Cha.”

The two girls got acquainted briefly and then walked out of the dormitory together, holding their books.

It wasn’t until now that Jiang Cha realized the dorm area was surprisingly lively.

Looking at the energetic and unique beautiful girls, her eyes went a little blank.

“Jiang Cha?”

“Ah, nothing. It’s just the first time seeing so many witches at once, so I’m a bit surprised.”

The flood of magical information in the air was too much for the girl’s brain, causing it to glitch for a moment. It was only when He Qin called her in confusion that she snapped back, smiling lightly to explain.

“Jiang Cha, are you an awakened witch?”

“Due to some reasons, I have amnesia. I probably don’t understand many common things now…”

“Eh… sorry.”

“No need to apologize.”

The girl kept smiling, her crimson eyes sparkling with a carefree light as she looked at He Qin. “I might have to trouble you later to introduce many things to me.”

“I’ll do my best!”

Feeling some important mission, He Qin nodded, her expression turning serious, then immediately switched into guide mode.

“Take this commuter bus, and it goes straight to today’s classroom. The first lesson is ‘Introduction to Witch History.’ Have you prepared?”

“Yeah, I looked over some yesterday.”

“That’s good.”

He Qin sighed with relief, then explained as the girl looked puzzled: “Teacher Elivia is a very… well, strict teacher. Students who don’t prepare will be called to stand up during class.”

“That really feels familiar as a teaching style.”

Jiang Cha couldn’t help but chuckle.

“Although I privately criticize the teacher, I have to admit, you’re right. This teaching style does feel familiar.”

Familiar to what exactly?

— The conservative old European aristocrats.

Though it was already the 22nd century, there were still many witches who admired tradition. Many witches were even relics from that era. Witches’ long lifespans allowed them to gradually increase their magical power, and increased magical power granted even longer life.

Though these witches were mostly outmatched by the new generation, time was their capital. The treasures and assets accumulated over their long lives let them live comfortably.

Thus, they became increasingly out of touch and formed the conservative faction in witch society.

This was a classic witch joke.

Especially since Teacher Elivia’s name clearly suggested she was a British noblewoman.

The girls carrying their books went together to the classroom.

Witch society valued punctuality. Especially as students, Jiang Cha even got up half an hour early to avoid being late on the first day of class. So when they arrived at the classroom, only a sparse dozen or so people were chatting in small groups.

“Ah! He Qin~ Qin Bao~ Good morning!”

Just as they were about to casually find seats, a blonde-haired, blue-eyed… loli? Perhaps only “loli” could describe this petite girl, barely 1.3 meters tall.

She was sitting on the desk, happily waving her little feet while chatting with someone.

“I told you, don’t call me Qin Bao, especially not in the classroom…”

He Qin’s cheeks flushed, her soft voice suddenly shy and faint like a mosquito’s buzz. If she weren’t a witch, Jiang Cha really wouldn’t have caught what she was mumbling.

But Lina clearly didn’t care about these “little things.” She jumped off the desk, ran quickly into He Qin’s arms, rubbing hard against her full chest before turning her head to look at the other girl.

“Jiang Cha?”

“Hello Lina, nice to meet you.”

Lina’s bright blue eyes immediately sparkled. She waved her hands excitedly and shouted:

“Sisters! Our class got a super ultra beautiful transfer student! Let’s cheer and celebrate!”

“Oh oh oh oh!!” *n

Perhaps because Lina, this energetic golden-haired loli, was well-liked in class, or maybe because the witches, known to be somewhat pervy, couldn’t resist Jiang Cha’s pretty face.

The sparse dozen or so little witches gave a polite cheer.

“Don’t mind it, Lina is just that kind of kid.”

Amid the cheers, He Qin sighed lightly and whispered in Jiang Cha’s ear.

Not everyone liked being stared at, but obviously excited Lina hadn’t thought that through.

“It’s okay. I actually like Lina’s personality.”

The girl smiled as usual.

Golden-haired flat-chested loli! Still better to be an energetic cheerful kid!

What could you not forgive such a cute girl for?

‘Good pitch, my good pitch just got hit.’

“Hehe~ Okay everyone, let’s quiet down and chat. This is a rare gathering of the d12 dormitory—what? You say Estelle? She won’t show up; she only keeps to herself with the alchemy table.”

Lina clapped her hands, signaling everyone to be quiet.

The classmates were polite and understanding. There would be many new transfer students; no need to embarrass themselves by making a bad impression.

“Can I call you Cha Bao? It’s a nickname, a nickname.”

After calming the restless classmates, Lina turned around and asked seriously.

“Is this some new trend?”

The girl smiled in response.

“Because all beautiful girls in the world are my treasures! So—”

“Alright, alright~ Since you complimented me.”

Jiang Cha really couldn’t do much about this overly lively golden-haired loli. She actually didn’t mind being called some kind of “Bao” (treasure).

Even though she knew the common knowledge in her mind, it was just knowledge—without experience or emotion.

For example, when she saw an apple, the only thing her mind conjured was “[Rosales order, Malus genus, deciduous tree fruit],” not what it actually tasted like.

So she didn’t feel anything about being called Cha Bao. It was just a label.

“Yay~~”

But Lina was very happy, rushing back into the girl’s arms and rubbing affectionately.

“Hmm, compared to Qin Bao you still need to develop more, but the future looks promising, the future looks promising!”

“Compared to me, you’re the one who really has a promising future.”

Jiang Cha found it a little funny. Although her chest wasn’t as big as He Qin’s 32C, she at least had a B+ level, much better than Lina’s AA.

“With my looks and height, flat chest is the best fit! Big-breasted lolis are all heresy, heresy!”

“What about black-haired big-breasted lolis?”

“That’s a little wife! The perfect attribute!”

“Comrade!”

“Relative!”

The two girls hugged each other happily again.

Finding common ground in a random place, the two’s relationship quickly warmed up, chatting enthusiastically about their views on beautiful girls, saying words that He Qin didn’t understand.

It made her feel a little left out.

‘Lina’s amazing, she can be friends with anyone.’

The gentle Yamato Nadeshiko silently admired and felt a little envious.

Suddenly she saw Jiang Cha turn her head, mischievously wink at her, biting her tongue lightly under thin lips, showing a bit of playful pink.

As if to comfort her, telling her she wasn’t left out.

‘…Jiang Cha is impressive too.’

He Qin immediately changed her previous judgment and shyly turned away.

“Qin Bao! Qin Bao!”

After Jiang Cha and He Qin exchanged a subtle glance, Lina noticed she had been left out and looked at her with big blue eyes full of pity.

“Can I borrow your notes?”

“Did you forget to organize your notes again because you were too immersed in battles?”

He Qin sighed with some helplessness, but indulgently pulled a black leather notebook from her robe and handed it over.

“Because battles are super interesting! Qin Bao, you should play a few rounds when you have time! Your magic doll is so strong, you’ll definitely get good results.”

“I’ll pass…”

“Qin Bao, if you’re too gentle you’ll be bullied by the old wolves on the battlefield!”

Maybe He Qin didn’t notice, but Jiang Cha saw clearly.

The proud look on Lina’s face as she sang.

— She purposely hadn’t organized her notes to get closer to He Qin.
