While they busied themselves with my hair, I was struck by a realization: the strands that had vanished under the sun’s rays had grown back.

Perhaps they return with the night?

“Chuye? What are you thinking about?”

“Was my hair this long when you saw it at noon?”

Kelo pulled a black hairpin from a small pouch, clipped it into my bangs, and glanced at the hair Ke Ying was holding.

“I don’t see any difference?”

“Huh? Really?”

Ke Ying tapped Kelo’s head. “Dummy… It’s not longer—no, it’s the same as before. That means it was shorter this morning.”

“Yeah, this morning I was standing in the shade, but sunlight slipped through the leaves and hit me, so part of my hair turned to ash.”

“Hair can turn to ash too?” Kelo always wore that dazed smile—no, whenever you looked at her, she was always smiling.

“Any part of the body will turn to ash.”

I answered seriously, but her attention was entirely on my hair.

I had no choice but to let them finish styling my hair. Weren’t we in a hurry? But once they started, they couldn’t stop.

Still, I seemed to have discovered something not written in any book: things that vanished under sunlight would likely grow back at night.

The two sisters swapped my hairstyle back and forth, never settling on one they deemed perfect. Eventually, they settled on pigtails, and we headed out. I still carried that umbrella.

Today, the first and second floors of the school cafeteria were still packed, but on the third floor, only Xiao Linlin and the Young Master were there, leaning by the window doing homework.

When Xiao Linlin saw us approach, she shot up from her seat. That girl really seemed hungry.

“Finally! I’ll go order. What do you all want?”

“Plain noodles.”

“I want a rice bowl with toppings! With meat!”

“Same as the Young Master, plain noodles.”

“Same as lunch… blood.”

The Young Master rushed over, wrapped her arms around me, and grabbed both my pigtails… she rubbed them gently.

“Did the two of you fix her hair like this? It’s so cute!”

She had been so focused on her homework just moments ago. If I’d known, I would have… but it seemed inevitable.

Kelo pulled out a chair from the table, and the Young Master tugged me to sit down. They chatted about hairstyles, and I felt like a doll.

I drew the curtain. Indeed, the night was mine. Across from the cafeteria was a large lake, and to the right of the lake stood a massive clock tower. My vision was limited during the day, so I couldn’t see it clearly, but at night, I could take it all in.

“Chuye, your dinner.”

Ke Ying handed me that special bottle.

I took it, opened the lid, closed my eyes, and downed it in one gulp… The taste was truly… amazing… No—had even my heart turned into a vampire’s?

I screwed the lid back on and looked up at her. Sure enough, they were all staring at me for some reason.

“What are you looking at me for?”

Fuwelle took the bottle and opened it to check.

“Finished it so quickly? Don’t you like it?”

“Of course not! Actually, it’s fine… I just can’t get used to it.”

Xiao Linlin walked over with a large tray and divided the dishes they had ordered. Was this the dinner of the wealthy? So extravagant!

Kelo speared a piece of strange meat with her fork and held it to my mouth.

“Open wide!”

“Forget it! That shrimp the Young Master gave me at noon still hasn’t digested. If this continues, I’ll surely get indigestion.”

With a disappointed expression, Kelo put the fork into her own mouth.

I remembered there was a promise with that girl from the classroom tonight, right?

“What are you all doing tonight?”

“Going back to sleep in the dorm.”

Suddenly, Fuwelle perked up and turned her head to look at me.

“Chuye, sleep with me~”

“I’ve already slept a while. I can’t fall asleep at night.”

“Then let me take you on a proper tour of the academy. Maybe you’ll come to like it.”

Xiao Linlin, while eating the pork cutlet rice she ordered, turned sideways to look at me.

“Don’t you need to sleep?”

“I do need to sleep, but my sleep time is very short—just one hour…”

To complete the task Magic Box had given me, I had to find a way to refuse her. Though I didn’t know why I couldn’t tell them.

“That won’t do. You can’t skimp on sleep. I want to take a walk alone; later I’ll… go sleep in the Young Master’s room.”

It seemed only words like this could make the Young Master happy.

“Really?”

The Young Master suddenly hugged me.

“Wow! Make sure you come~”
