Chapter 3066: Red Moon Under the Moon

This answer obviously couldn't satisfy her, and the stubborn young lady made a request:

"Since you say so, then call me 'Teacher' now."

"She" continued to laugh gently, and Xia De pursed his lips:

"Alright then—Teacher Daniste."

He thought that since she had made the request, it was nothing for him to address her this way. But obviously, the girl, whose emotions were particularly agitated tonight, didn't expect to hear this address so easily. She looked at his face in a daze, and then suddenly leaned up and kissed Xia De directly.

This was not a wanton kiss like the elf girl's; the two just had their lips touching, and neither of them closed their eyes, but looked at each other instead.

Since autumn began, when the time curse turned Daniste Gustav into an eighteen-year-old, the relationship between the two had progressed by leaps and bounds in story after story. But until this kiss, the last layer of candy wrapper was completely licked away by the cat.

He saw himself in her eyes, and she also saw herself at this moment in his eyes. Xia De suddenly felt that he understood the real reason for tonight's invitation. It was not just a simple reason; perhaps she just wanted to get some kind of answer from him.

After a moment of contact, the young lady took the initiative to separate, but she didn't say anything, instead kissing Xia De's neck gently and biting his neck lightly.

Although it hurt a little, Xia De didn't object. The young lady sucked on the warm skin, feeling the taste of blood, but this was like simply venting her dissatisfaction and grievance. Xia De continued to hug her, and after this excessive act, she seemed to understand what she had done. A soft touch appeared on Xia De's neck, which made Xia De shudder suddenly.

She whispered:

"Sorry... I just wanted you to remember me."

"That's a strange thing to say. Why would I forget you?"

"Because soon you will return to Tobesk, and I will return to the academy in the Far North with Emilia. Your life is in that northern capital, and there are many girls around you who are enough to make you forget me, those witches, those girls who know you better than I do... and I, am just someone who occasionally appears in your life."

Xia De understood her worries:

"If you are worried about this, I have good news—I have found a way to appear at St. Byrons at any time. Although this method hasn't been tried yet, I think in the future, if I want to see you, it shouldn't be more difficult than me taking Little Mia out for a meal."

He was referring to the fourth wish made to the Tree Father, which was knowing the entrance to the "Space Labyrinth" near St. Byrons Comprehensive Academy.

【This wish seems to have been made for Emilia Senod.】

"She" reminded him softly, and Xia De pretended not to hear.

The girl held by Xia De gave a light "Hmm~" and then whispered:

"Then Xia De, you passed this test. I admit that you are qualified as my student, and you can continue to learn and progress under my name."

Xia De then asked with a smile:

"So for a short time, you won't drive me away again, right?"

"Yes... can you let me go? I want to get up and walk around."

"Sorry."

After the two got up, Xia De realized that the vicinity seemed very familiar, and when he turned around and saw the silver light not far away, he realized that this was the "Moon Sanctuary"—so this situation was really very familiar.

He wanted to ask how they got here, but the red-haired young lady, who had made up her mind, was already holding his hand and walking toward the glowing hot spring.

It stood to reason that there should be followers of the witch guarding here, but the great war had just ended, and most people were very tired or recovering from injuries, so the "Moon Sanctuary" was temporarily empty, and no one disturbed them at this moment.

Before long, the two came to the side of the hot spring. The defensive ritual set up by the witches was easily unlocked by the red-haired young lady. She looked at the hot spring and asked Xia De softly:

"Speaking of which, although you explained the reason for Miss Orlanod's promotion to demigod this morning, I know that was fake."

The memory carried by this hot spring immediately jumped before Xia De's eyes, and Xia De tentatively asked:

"I remember you shouldn't have been in that space-time at that time. When Blaney was promoted, there were only me and her, as well as Luvia and Little Mia... you weren't there, right?"

The red-haired girl turned to look at him. Although her emotions were so agitated just now, she was frighteningly calm at this moment:

"After she was promoted, you called her 'Blaney' instead of 'Miss Orlanod'; when we rushed from this hot spring to the Throne Land together, her eyes were almost like silk when she looked at your back. And do you know what? I inexplicably felt a kind of... feeling that belongs to you from her."

Xia De was really a bit embarrassed this time, but she didn't continue to chat about this topic, but stood on tiptoe and kissed Xia De's lips lightly again:

"Xia De, I don't want to interrogate you, I just want you to know that tomorrow's me is not tonight's me.

I must get rid of the shackles of the time curse. Since you admitted before the banquet that you prefer the eighteen-year-old me, then as a reward for you completing the teacher's test, before I completely end my eighteen-year-old age..."

She didn't continue, pursing her lips and looking at Xia De with rose-red eyes. Xia De opened his mouth slightly, very suspicious that he had misunderstood.

【No, you didn't misunderstand, it should mean exactly that.】

"But..."

"What, you actually don't like an eighteen-year-old youthful and beautiful girl, and really only like mature ladies like Galina Cavendish?"

"No, no, of course not. Also, don't use the word 'mature' in front of Galina."

"Then are you going to refuse? Or are you willing to give me this dream, and let this sudden dream called eighteen have a romantic ending?"

She asked. Although the Outlander had always been cautious when facing such things, this time he thought about it carefully and found that he had no reason to refuse. The two had already expressed their feelings in the snow under the moon just now.

However, he wanted to confirm again:

"Miss Daniste, Emilia told me not long ago that the academy seems to prohibit campus romance between students."

The red-haired young lady finally showed a smile:

"Consider yourself lucky. From the beginning of the academy's establishment, there has been no clause prohibiting 【adult】 students... this loophole wouldn't have been left specifically for you by those ladies, would it?"

"This... is very likely. Then Miss Daniste..."

"Call me Daniste."

"Okay, Daniste, confirm one last time, do you really want me to leave a beautiful dream for the end of your eighteen years?"

"If you continue to nag, I will use my privilege as a teacher to forcibly order my apprentice to play a role."

She placed her hand on Xia De's chest, and the silver light of the hot spring illuminated every detail on her face:

"Eighteen years old, a flower-like age. Xia De, I am willing to treat everything that happens after tonight as a dream, as a dream to make up for the regrets in life. So, don't have any worries."

"Wait a minute, how does this sound like a one-night..."

Before he finished speaking, he was kissed by the red-haired young lady again, but this time there was a scrutinizing look in those rose-red eyes; she obviously didn't like this vocabulary.

After a kiss ended, she didn't give Xia De a chance to speak again to ruin the atmosphere, and pushed Xia De into the hot spring with force.

"Although it is indeed the meaning you understand, your way of saying it is very impolite. This is just a dream, a dream that belongs to you and me starting from autumn. Before waking up, don't ruin the atmosphere. Is this how you treat other girls?"

"I need to emphasize that it was impolite for you to push me into the water."

Xia De, who poked his head out of the hot spring, said unhappily, and was then covered in the eyes by the dress belt thrown by the young lady.

By the time Xia De took away the belt decorated with red broken diamonds and inlaid with metal rings and let it float in the water, the eighteen-year-old red-haired young lady had already taken off her long boots and stood on the shore looking down at Xia De.

At this moment, she no longer had the depression and grievance just now, and looked quite excited, and her face was red:

"Xia De, do you want me to take off my clothes here, or do you want me to do it after entering the water?"

The Outlander was just thinking that he definitely didn't want to experience things like a "one-night dream":

"Either is fine."

The girl by the pool then said with a smile:

"Do you know? I get along very well with the witches, and Emma Sylvia gave me many gifts."

As she spoke, she lifted the hem of her skirt slightly, revealing the legs covered by the red long dress. The fabric covering her legs was not red, but black, but the black was quite sheer. This should be the top-level product produced by Sylvia.

She still looked down at Xia De, smiled, raised her right leg, and stretched her right foot toward him. Xia De asked hesitantly:

"Daniste, does this mean you want me to pull you into the water?"

The red-haired young lady bit her lip, her rose-red eyes looking at him and saying:

"I saw it in a book, many men like..."

"No, no."

Xia De immediately stated that he had absolutely no such hobby, so the eighteen-year-old girl kept her balance and shook her right foot, with a playful smile on her face:

"Then do you need me to step it on your face... oh!"

Xia De grabbed the thing that was shaking back and forth and pulled her into the water as well.

"Ah, what are you doing?"

"Do I look like that kind of person? This joke is not funny at all."

"But you looked quite ex... mm~"

This time it was Xia De who kissed her, and both of their faces were stained with water. After separating, she tapped Xia De's chest with her finger, and then put both hands on her wet skirt:

"I don't know your preferences very well. Xia De, be honest and take a multiple-choice question: do you like me wearing a skirt, or do you want me to take off this skirt?"

She felt that the look in Xia De's eyes looking at her now was already a bit scary:

"The skirt is not needed... you can keep Sylvia's gift."

The rose-red eyes curved in the steaming water mist:

"You still say you don't like it!"

Then the silver moon overwhelmed the red moon. Before long, in the rippling hot spring water, the red long dress drifted to the side of the pool with the young lady's other clothes, but those stockings did not appear.

The eighteen-year-old girl laughed, complained, and acted like a spoiled child. She was really enjoying the last night of being eighteen, letting herself wander in the dream woven with Xia De. Tonight, she was no longer the respected library manager of the academy, nor was she Xia De's nominal teacher.

She was just a girl saying goodbye to eighteen, saying goodbye to youth, saying goodbye to this hazy autumn dream. She couldn't bear the end of all this, but time would not stop for anyone.

So she gave herself and Xia De a dream, hoping to use this dream to draw a period to this relationship... but she obviously hadn't realized the greed and gluttony of her "student".

"Xia De~ can you tell me why you prefer the right side? They are clearly both the color of the red moon."

The Outlander felt that his memory of the "Moon Sanctuary" would probably never fade, or rather, his impression of this place was becoming more and more strange.

【Why strange?】

"We have an agreement, we can't talk at times like this."

"She" smiled gently, the light of the red moon shone on the forest, the shackles were broken, and the girl who was forever eighteen grew up tonight. ===== CHAPTER 3067 =====
