Chapter 21: Roommate

The next moment, what caught her eye first was a tuft of white, fluffy fur.

A pair of white and pink wolf ears twitched, lips slightly parted, revealing small fangs.

She wore a look of disdain, arms crossed, and behind her, a big tail swayed gently.

“Why is it this dumb dog?”

Vellandelle couldn’t help but feel a bit speechless, but at the same time, she felt relieved in her heart.

If it was a normal roommate, it might be hard to get along, but if it was this airheaded heroine, Kelosha, things would be much simpler.

Kelosha didn’t hear Vellandelle’s grumbling.

Instead, she suddenly darted over as if she’d caught a scent, coming right next to Vellandelle.

“Your scent is so familiar…”

With Kelosha’s words, Vellandelle’s heart also trembled.

This dumb dog’s nose was very sharp.

Could it be she remembered her scent?

“It’s the Strong One’s Aura!”

With Kelosha’s next words, Vellandelle breathed a sigh of relief.

Thank goodness.

“Hello, classmate, I’m your roommate, Vellandelle Mello.”

“Kelosha, Princess of the Beastman Wolf Tribe!”

Kelosha patted her chest proudly, because this not only represented her status as a Princess, but also that as a Throne, she was the strongest wolf warrior of the young generation.

“My name is Rosasys Pamé.”

Rosasys also introduced herself from the side.

Kelosha looked at Vellandelle, then at Vellandelle again, and after looking back and forth several times, she rubbed her head in confusion.

“This lady doesn’t get it. Why are there two roommates? Did I go to the wrong place?”

“Ah, it’s like this, Miss Kelosha. I’m Vellandelle’s friend. I’m not her roommate yet.”

“Oh, I see! Now this lady understands!”

Kelosha nodded, suddenly enlightened.

“Um, Miss Kelosha, I have a favor to ask you.”

Rosasys was about to bring up the matter of exchanging apartments.

“What? Go ahead.”

“You see, I’m friends with Vellandelle, but we’re not in the same apartment… so I wanted to ask if you’d swap apartments with me. Mine is a single room and very convenient to live in.”

“Swap apartments?”

Kelosha looked at the two again.

“Yes, yes, according to the rules, if both students agree, the Academy allows changing apartments.”

“No, this lady refuses!”

Just as Rosasys was full of hope, Kelosha shook her head firmly.

“Why? Mine’s a single room, it’s really convenient.”

“Because my roommate has the Strong One’s Aura. This lady is very interested in my roommate. It’s rare for this lady to leave her scent on others, but my memory isn’t so good. I can’t remember which strong person my roommate is.”

Kelosha explained, and Vellandelle finally recalled.

In the plot, Kelosha did indeed have an ability to leave her scent on others to remember them.

Her memory was also not great, but Vellandelle remembered that it was due to her own Pale Blood.

“But there are more strong people in my place. My area is ranked in the top three…”

“No swap!”

Kelosha shook her head again, determined.

To her, other than that Banshee, the rest of the top three weren’t that impressive.

But it was said that Banshee wasn’t even on the rankings.

Still, since birth, anyone who could make her remember their scent was definitely strong.

Only such strong ones were Kelosha’s direction forward.

After a heated debate between the two, Rosasys still couldn’t convince Kelosha to swap apartments, and could only lower her head in defeat.

“It’s fine… it’s not such a big deal anyway. We’re always together, right?”

Rosasys threw herself into Vellandelle’s arms.

Vellandelle comforted her patiently, while Kelosha stood by observing carefully.

“But…”

“No more buts. Just take it as training yourself.”

“Okay.”

Looking at the gentle Vellandelle, Rosasys could only give in in her heart.

Indeed, as long as she stayed with her sister, that was enough.

Thinking this, Rosasys felt a little better.

Besides, since sister wanted her to train, she really should try harder.

She couldn’t let her sister down.

“Since we can’t swap apartments, why don’t we go check out your place, little sister? Let’s find the location first, then go explore the Academy.”

“Mm, sister, but I want to go see my apartment alone first. Can you wait here for me?”

“Oh? Why not let sister go with you?”

“I just think there’s no need to trouble sister for something like going to my apartment, and besides, you have your own roommate.”

Rosasys spoke considerately.

For some reason, Vellandelle felt Rosasys had grown up.

“Alright, go ahead, bro…sister will wait here for you.”

Perhaps unaccustomed, Vellandelle instinctively started to say “brother”, but Rosasys didn’t notice anything wrong, nodded, and prepared to leave.

Before going, she glanced at the dumbfounded Kelosha and felt such a person wouldn’t pose any threat to her sister.

Vellandelle watched Rosasys go, then turned to Kelosha.

“Uh, Miss Kelosha, from now on, we’re roommates. I made you some coffee—want to try it?”

“Thank you.”

When Vellandelle called her name, Kelosha finally snapped back, quickly taking the cup Vellandelle handed over.

“Roommate, you don’t need to call me ‘miss’ or anything. Just call this lady Kelosha!”

Kelosha grinned.

“Okay.”

Who knew, the moment she finished, a scream rang out.

“Ah… what is this stuff!”

As a Beastman, Kelosha drank vigorously.

Though she hesitated at the color, since her roommate offered it, she gulped it down like water.

But after swallowing, she tasted an unparalleled bitterness.

“Is this poison? It’s so hard to drink! Ptooey, ptooey!”

Vellandelle smiled awkwardly.

She really had forgotten—neither the country girl Rosasys nor the wolf cub Kelosha could handle the taste of coffee.

“Sorry, Kelosha. This is coffee. It’s a bit bitter. Looks like you don’t like it. Then don’t drink it.”

Vellandelle set the cup on the table for Kelosha.

“Coffee?”

Kelosha thought for a moment after recovering.

She remembered there was such a thing.

Old men would drink some.

So it was an old man’s drink.

No wonder it tasted so bitter.

“Oh, I get it. I thought my roommate was trying to poison me.”

Kelosha’s words made black lines run down Vellandelle’s face.

How could that be…

The next moment, Kelosha suddenly dove into Vellandelle’s arms.

Vellandelle froze.

“Kelosha, what are you doing?”

“My mouth’s a little bitter now, so this lady wants to smell something fragrant. Roommate, you smell good. This lady likes it!”

With that, Kelosha pressed her nose against Vellandelle’s neck.

The feeling of her breath made Vellandelle’s skin tingle and her face flush with embarrassment.

“This dumb dog…”

But Vellandelle said nothing.

She knew Kelosha was just simple-minded.

Still, what did having a bitter mouth have to do with sniffing someone’s scent?

Yet in the next moment—

Vellandelle’s whole body trembled.

Kelosha had started licking her neck.

As a Beastman, Kelosha’s tongue had tiny barbs, making it both painful and ticklish for Vellandelle.

“What are you doing…”

“Roommate, you smell so good… become this lady’s prey, okay?”

Kelosha’s eyes sparkled as she looked at her.
