Feini didn’t react at all to everyone’s mocking.
“Wait, Fat Nini, what about your big belly?”
“Did you give birth? Where’s the baby?”
“Can we take a look?”
After class, she was about to leave, but a few ill-intentioned Bully Gyaru blocked her way.
“The baby’s been sent back to my hometown.” Feini casually made up a lie and nimbly slipped around them.
“Fat Nini’s got some nerve now! I wasn’t even done talking—why are you walking off so fast? Can’t we just chat?” One Bully Gyaru suddenly grabbed her shoulder, stopping her from leaving.
They noticed that Qingshamu wasn’t protecting Feini today.
Qingshamu just sat quietly, indifferent to everything happening around her.
“Hehe, Feini and Qingshamu must’ve fallen out.”
“You’re on your own now, nobody’s gonna protect you!”
“I’m still talking to you!”
Another Bully Gyaru grabbed a bucket and dumped it on Feini’s head.
That satisfied them enough—they were pleased with their prank and laughed loudly on the side.
“…” Feini was speechless but took the opportunity to slip away.
Although they were all bloodthirsty Demonic Beasts in their true forms, their bullying methods were rather low-level and lacked any real aggression.
Anyway, Feini didn’t have time to waste on these boring passersby.
She shook her head, wiped her face, her eyes firm, and headed to the back door of the Advanced Beast Restaurant to sign up as a Delivery Worker.
“You? Skinny as a stick—can you even work? Whatever, I’ll give you one chance, but if you mess up, don’t blame us for being ruthless. Next time, you’ll be the one serving the customers’ food!”
The demon in charge of the high-end restaurant gave her a disdainful look but eventually hired Feini anyway—after all, they were short-staffed.
Well, unlike delivery workers in the real world, failing at this job here could be fatal.
Feini went to the changing room, put on her delivery uniform, grabbed the meal box she had to deliver, and set off.
As she left the hall, she ran into Shijietang Simon and Xueyuedai Emma, who were leading a large group of sisters, even including girls from the neighboring classes.
Their Noble Little Circle already numbered dozens, controlling the entire first grade, with spies in every class.
Shijietang still wore her dazzling sunshine smile, but when she saw the delivery girl Feini, the corners of her mouth tightened slightly.
She didn’t understand why her mood turned strange at the sight of Feini. Why would she—someone of the Demon King’s rank—feel this way?
But Feini didn’t glance at her at all, hurrying off to deliver food.
Beside her, Xueyuedai also noticed this subtle emotion, but she thought Shijietang was just pitying Feini.
Still, for the sake of the Noble Little Circle’s future, they couldn’t let this Fat Nini get too close to Shijietang.
That would only drag down their group’s reputation.
Xueyuedai’s slitted eyes quietly opened.
Looks like it was time to play a little dirty.

Meanwhile…
In the Lower-Rank Monster Cafeteria, Qingshamu sat alone in a corner eating.
For some reason—
She ate mechanically, like a robot, chewing on her food as if it were dry, dead meat—tasteless and unappetizing.
It was all just an excuse; Qingshamu knew perfectly well why. She was just surprised to feel such an emotion.
Was she… sympathizing?
That guy was the Parasite Demon Sword who had nearly killed her, who had slaughtered countless Human Heroes. Was she really sympathizing with her enemy?
She was just a bloodthirsty monster disguised as a pregnant woman!
Thinking this, her heart turned cold and sharp.
She must not forget the dangerous mission she risked everything to carry out at the God and Demon Academy—find the Northern Demon King in hiding, and assassinate him.
First step was to find the Northern Demon King; the Parasite Demon Sword was her only lead.
She said she didn’t know, but she was definitely lying.
“Ugh.” Qingshamu finished her meal, reached out to touch the table, but felt nothing, like a fool.
She had wanted to put away her Beast Detector Box, only to realize she hadn’t taken it out today because there was no one needing detection.
This thing was supposed to detect a beast’s true identity, but it didn’t work on Noble Beasts at all. They were easily aware of it, so it was only useful on lower-ranked monsters.
But unexpectedly, the first little monster she scanned turned out to be a hidden big fish.
Still, it didn’t make sense.
Because that meant Feini had almost no power—she was a genuinely terrifying lower-ranked monster.
Could her claim of being expelled by the Northern Demon King be true?
“Acting. It’s all just acting.”
Qingshamu quickly came up with a reason to convince herself.
If she really believed Feini’s nonsense, she’d be the dumbest hero in the world.
After thinking it through, Qingshamu left the Lower-Rank Monster Cafeteria and went to capture Feini.
But she didn’t know where Feini was and could only wander around like a zombie with no target.
……
Just as Qingshamu left the Lower-Rank Monster Cafeteria, Feini happened to be running back to the Advanced Beast Restaurant to pick up another order.
They narrowly missed each other and didn’t meet.
This lousy school had a lot of lazy, big-eating students who ordered delivery from the Advanced Beast Restaurant daily, needing meals brought right to their dorm doors.
It was a glimpse into the bloat of the God and Demon Academy—so many idle people were kept here.
But even so, being a delivery worker in another world was far more comfortable than in reality.
She just had to leave the food at the dorm door, no need to talk or fear complaints. Even someone like her, with social anxiety, could do this job.
So Feini spent the entire lunch break delivering meals, just earning back one lunch.
Then she immediately rushed to the Lower-Rank Monster Cafeteria to buy and pack her own meal, hurrying home to feed her two babies.
She collapsed exhausted in the Utility Room, too tired even to eat her Ruby Burger.
She only managed to sleep for half an hour before having to get ready for class again.
Of course, she was drowsy in class, barely able to keep her eyes open, eventually resting her head on the desk for a nap.
“Ring~ ring~ ring~”
The bell rang at the end of class, and Feini dashed out again to continue her deliveries.
After finishing, she could finally return to the dorm and eat the afternoon Ruby Burger, play with her babies for a while, then head out again to work.
At night, Feini went to the Security Room at the school gate to work as a courier, delivering packages late into the night before finally returning to sleep.
“Ugh… my kidneys…”
The next morning, Feini woke feeling sore all over her waist and back.
“Little White, Little Black, I’m heading out.”
Feini struggled to get up, pain aside, she had to endure it. This kind of pain was nothing compared to a sword piercing her heart. She had to go to school to get her free meal tickets.
“Mother, have a safe journey.”
White Feather Dove sat up on the bed, waving goodbye with her little hand.
