Take Care of Yourself

Su Ran spent the whole night doing the math and figured out he would have to accompany Sister Qiuqiu ten times to earn the ten thousand yuan.

He knew that you couldn’t get play-along orders every day, and besides, he had hardly ever met a client like Sister Qiuqiu who loved Narukami and was also exceptionally generous.

Ten thousand yuan was the minimum standard for the limited-time special offer.

Clearly, if he really had to wait ten days, he would definitely not make it in time to rescue the imprisoned witch before the public trial.

She might have even been escorted to another place by then.

Waking up, Su Ran followed his routine and logged into the Witch Game first to check on what Isa was doing.

[Update Announcement: This update will provide daily check-in rewards. Please enter the game to check for yourself, Host.]

Su Ran had not expected the Witch Game to update with daily check-ins.

Just yesterday, he had complained about logging in every day with no reward, and now, after the system update, the daily check-in reward had arrived just like that.

Su Ran went in to take a look.

The daily rewards, when listed individually, were all small fry, such as magic scrolls for Isa to use or materials to aid in meditation.

But it was better than nothing at all.

‘So that’s what this update was for. You should have said so earlier!’

As he logged into the game, a magic scroll quietly floated down onto the desk in front of Isa.

Even though it was only a Sequence Two magic scroll, for the current Isa, it was still a considerable help.

The items Su Ran gave to Isa through the Witch Game all had a binding icon on them, restricting them to Isa’s use only.

Even if Isa wanted to exchange them for money, no one would be able to use these scrolls.

Although, given Isa’s faith in her Witch Highness, she would not do such a thing anyway.

In fact, if Isa wanted to convert the scrolls into gold coins, she did have a way: use the magic scrolls to hunt magical beasts, and then sell the magic crystals.

However, the cost of making a Sequence Two magic scroll was often a Sequence Three magic crystal.

Only a magic crystal of a higher sequence could be used to create a scroll.

So even if she sold the magic crystals for gold coins, Isa would consider it a waste.

Besides, magic scrolls were generally a hot commodity with no supply.

Just as Su Ran was checking on Isa’s current status, the familiar sound of a key suddenly came from the room’s door.

This sound of a door opening… Su Ran knew he wasn’t mistaken.

It had to be Eve, back!

It seemed the superhuman school’s training camp was over.

Eve had come back to pack her things, preparing to set off for the border city.

Eve, who had been called back for the training camp, had been gone for about a week.

However, Su Ran panicked at this moment.

His current state was long, flowing hair that cascaded down to his waist.

If Eve saw him, how was he going to explain it?

Was he going to say that in the week she was gone, he had eaten too well, and his hair had grown too long, and he hadn’t had time to cut it?

But a week… that was just too ridiculous.

While Eve was still fumbling with the key outside the door, Su Ran forced himself to calm down and looked around the room, trying to find something that could help him out of this predicament.

Suddenly, Su Ran’s eyes lit up when he saw a large hat in the wardrobe.

Even though wearing a hat indoors looked strange, there was no other suitable solution at the moment.

Continuously rolling up his long hair and placing it on his head, Su Ran gathered his long hair into the hat.

Finally, just before Eve opened the door and walked in, he had managed to tuck all his hair away.

To Su Ran’s relief, the hat had enough space to accommodate all of his hair.

As soon as Eve entered the door, she saw Su Ran sitting on the bed wearing a hat.

Noticing her come in, he spoke up, “Is the training camp over so quickly?”

Being asked by Su Ran, Eve smiled mysteriously, “Actually, the training camp only ends today. Guess why I was able to come back now.”

“You took a leave of absence?”

Seeing Eve being playful, Su Ran, wanting to distract her, followed her lead and began to guess the reason.

“Of course not! Today was the day of the training camp assessment. Before the assessment, I got first place in all subjects, so Teacher Bai told me I didn’t need to take today’s exam.”

Eve mentioned getting first place in all subjects, her fair little face tilted up, looking as if she wanted Su Ran’s praise.

Perhaps it was because this was her last meeting with Su Ran, or perhaps it was because of what her roommate Lily had said.

Before coming back today, Eve had let go of many of her burdens, wanting to spend the last two days with Su Ran before she left.

“Doesn’t that mean you have one more day of vacation than everyone else?”

The slow-to-realize Su Ran gradually understood Eve’s words.

To be able to get first place in all subjects, Eve must have put in a lot of effort.

“Why are you wearing a hat indoors?”

Even though Su Ran wanted to delay Eve’s discovery, after just a few sentences, Eve noticed the hat on Su Ran’s head.

Wearing a hat indoors… Eve couldn’t ignore it even if she wanted to.

She had wanted to ask Su Ran this question the moment she walked in.

“Ah? This?”

Being asked about the hat on his head, Su Ran’s heart jumped violently.

He guiltily touched the hat on his head, feeling the thick hair he had packed inside.

He said with a straight face, “I didn’t wash my hair last night, and it got too greasy, so I found a hat to wear.”

“Really?”

Eve gradually drew out the sound of her question, her lively eyes fixed on Su Ran.

Under Eve’s suspicious gaze, Su Ran nodded heavily, “Yes, that’s right!”

After staring at Su Ran for a while, Eve suddenly sighed and advised, “Don’t get too addicted to games. Pay attention to your rest time.”

“Oh, right, and also, pay attention to a balanced diet when you eat. Remember to tidy up the room every day…”

Su Ran suddenly felt that Eve was being a bit long-winded today, always reminding him to pay attention to trivial details.

She even told him in great detail where the winter quilts were stored.

He gazed at the speaking Eve, as if an insurmountable distance had grown between them.

“What’s wrong? Staring at me?”

Noticing Su Ran’s gaze, Eve turned her head abruptly to ask.

Su Ran shook his head, “No, it just feels like today, you seem a bit far away from me.”

Hearing this, Eve was suddenly lost in thought.

She quickly reacted and chuckled, “I’m going to the border city for a few days, of course I have to explain things clearly to you.

Otherwise, what if I come back and see you haven’t washed your hair again?”

“Is that so?”

Not noticing Eve’s absent-mindedness, Su Ran was completely convinced by her words.

“Of course. So promise me, you’ll take good care of yourself and wait for me to come back, okay?”

Eve said with a serious face, her eyes filled entirely with Su Ran’s reflection.
