Chapter 40: Getting Ready to Move

Thinking about how smoothly things had been resolved, a happy Bai Yu hugged her pillow and rolled back and forth on the bed until her head felt a bit dizzy.

It was a pity that she couldn’t open a bottle of champagne, as she was afraid the noise would wake up Loweia sleeping in the next room.

‘I never would have expected this. Things are progressing much more smoothly than I imagined. I thought Mu Yue would press me for details, but she believed me after hearing the story just once.’

It wasn’t just about what had happened to Bai Yu; Mu Yue had even accepted the fabricated backstory for Loweia without questioning it further.

She had agreed to all of Bai Yu’s requests without hesitation, promising to handle everything.

With this, there was no longer a need to worry about Loweia’s identity being exposed.

Of course, that was not the only good news.

For Bai Yu, the most important thing was the Management Bureau’s stance on the death of the Pale Witch.

According to what Mu Yue had said earlier, the Management Bureau believed the Pale Witch had been suppressed and was as dead as she could be.

This meant Bai Yu didn’t have to worry about Loweia’s identity coming to light.

After all, in their eyes, the Pale Witch was already dead.

The Loweia now by Bai Yu’s side was just an ordinary girl.

Even if she displayed powerful strength in the future, it would only be seen as her suddenly awakening her Star Mark power and obtaining a strong Esper Ability.

As long as she successfully moved with Loweia and gained the protection of the Management Bureau, they just had to hide her well.

The Evil Organization searching for Loweia behind the scenes would likely find it difficult to uncover any clues.

Even if they suspected the Management Bureau had recovered Loweia and sent spies to investigate her whereabouts, they would only return empty-handed.

After all, who would have thought that the S+ Rank Pale Witch would end up being picked up by a C-Rank little fry?

Not only was she picked up, but that audacious little fry had no intention of handing the Pale Witch over.

Instead, she had secretly brought her home and even tried to deceive her just to cling to her as a Lover.

“Hum hum~”

Bai Yu lay on the bed humming a lighthearted tune, her two fair little feet kicking up and down against the mattress.

She was incredibly happy.

If Loweia hadn’t been asleep next door, she would have burst out laughing.

Of course, as a gentle Lover, disturbing her partner’s rest was out of the question.

‘I can’t laugh yet. I’ll wait until the plan to cling to her is a total success before I laugh out loud as much as I want.’

Aside from the threat of that Evil Organization, Bai Yu had nothing left to worry about for the moment.

Su Keke’s appearance had also eased some of her concerns.

With that girl investigating nearby, it should interfere with the Evil Organization’s movements.

Once Mu Yue prepared the new residence and she moved with Loweia, they should be safe.

Over time, if they couldn’t find any trace of Loweia, they would likely conclude she was truly dead and abandon the plan.

When that happened, Bai Yu would only need to focus on increasing Loweia’s Favorability.

Once it was maxed out, she would never have to worry about her survival again.

Thinking of this, Bai Yu hugged her pillow and rolled around a few more times.

‘Since I can’t laugh, I’ll just do this instead. *Hum hum*~’

With her worries gone, Bai Yu’s tense mind finally relaxed.

Drowsiness washed over her like a tide.

She stopped rolling and let out a yawn, pulling the quilt over her body.

Soon, she drifted into a deep sleep.

She slept exceptionally well that night.

—

The next day, Bai Yu got out of bed and walked quietly to the door of Loweia’s room.

*Creak.*

She gently pushed the door open.

The lamp on the bedside table was still on, and the white-haired girl’s sleeping face looked very peaceful.

She was sleeping soundly.

‘She must be having a good dream,’ Bai Yu thought, her mood lightening as she watched Loweia’s serene face.

As long as she wasn’t having a nightmare, it was fine.

If she were stimulated by memories of the past and realized Bai Yu had been lying to her, things would turn ugly.

Seeing that Loweia was sleeping peacefully, Bai Yu quietly closed the door without waking her.

After washing up, she went into the kitchen to prepare breakfast.

Just as she was about to call Loweia, the girl pushed her door open and walked out, rubbing her sleepy eyes.

What perfect timing.

“Morning, Wei Ya. How did you sleep last night?”

“I slept very well.”

Loweia gave Bai Yu a sweet smile.

Then, catching the aroma of the noodles in Bai Yu’s hand, her eyes lit up, and she stepped forward.

“Bai Yu, is breakfast ready?”

“Yes, it is. Go wash up and come eat.”

“Okay.”

The girl nodded and turned into the bathroom.

It didn’t feel like an illusion—Loweia seemed a bit more lively today compared to yesterday, with less of that timid feeling.

Perhaps she was finally getting used to Bai Yu? That was certainly good news.

Bai Yu waited at the table for a moment until Loweia finished washing up and sat down.

As soon as she did, Bai Yu spoke.

“Wei Ya, there’s something important I need to tell you.”

“Hmm? What is it?”

Loweia looked up, her ruby-like eyes full of curiosity.

“We might be moving in a few days.”

“Moving?”

“Yes, possibly to Central City.”

“Oh… so suddenly?”

Loweia’s mood instantly dropped.

Although every place was equally strange to her since she had lost her memory, at least this house was where she and Bai Yu had lived together.

If she left the place where they shared a past before she could recover even a single memory, would she ever be able to find them again?

Seeing Loweia’s sudden sadness took Bai Yu by surprise.

‘Does this girl not want to leave?’

“Wei Ya, do you not want to move?”

“Yes…”

Loweia nodded gently.

“This is the place where you and I lived in the past. But I haven’t recovered anything yet. If we leave like this, will those memories really be gone forever?”

Loweia was still very concerned about her lost memories.

However, Bai Yu could tell that what she really cared about was the past she believed she shared with her.

In that case, convincing her would be easy.

“The past is indeed important, but what matters more is the present. As long as we are together, we can keep creating new memories.”

Bai Yu gave her a gentle smile.

“And as long as we stay together, even if we aren’t here, maybe one day you’ll suddenly get your memory back.”

“Okay… then, before we leave, can you take me to keep looking for our past memories? I know it might not work, and we might visit many places without finding anything, but I still want to try.”

Seeing the pleading look in the girl’s eyes, Bai Yu naturally couldn’t refuse.

“All right. After breakfast, we’ll go out and walk around some more.”
