Chapter 30: A Bottle of Magic Medicine Causes a Commotion (Part 2)
"So you've turned this pair of disgusting big-headed flies that fell into the flower cluster into lovely little bees, have you?" Mercury Lamp said coldly to Cecilia, "And then carried them back like this?"
Yes, that's right, they carried it back. These two people didn't have outerwear (Ilya did but unfortunately got completely wet) and the girls couldn't lend them their clothes, so they had to learn how to wrap towels around their bodies like real girls. Everyone waited outside for a long time (of course, no one could change clothes with them), but when they didn't come out, they curiously went in to take a look, only to find that... they had already fainted and were bleeding from the nose.
The members of the soy sauce department had to carry two bath towel beauties who were almost naked to the point where they needed to be coded, and carefully returned to their room without being discovered, as if playing a real-life version of Metal Gear. For a moment, Eri was extremely regretful that she hadn't exchanged for an invisibility cloak at the reward points when there were still many left, so that everyone could hide together while walking.
"You guys... don't you think they're too eye-catching? And how are we going to explain the sudden appearance of these two beauties?" Shuǐyín Dēng said with a helpless expression, looking at the still unconscious twin tails and black long straight hair on the bed.
So Eriol told her about her plan.
The mercury lamp thought for a moment and raised its head to remind: "This is actually not a bad idea, but what if someone asks the hotel about their identities? It will be exposed immediately. For example, Batre or Joy..."
"So we have to make up for it quickly." Elisha said, "Wake these two up later and then go outside without being discovered by the people in the inn. Then Sophia, you go to the front desk of the inn to ask if there is any news about your own maid - of course, this is acting - the other party will definitely not know. At that time, let Ilya and others come in, and then both sides recognize each other and explain that they were late because of traffic jams on the road, and then let the inn arrange for the two to be brought to our room."
"This plan isn't perfect, but generally no one pays attention to details." Sophia nodded in agreement. "So let's wait until 8 o'clock when the second batch of students taking baths enter the bathhouse and there are fewer people around, we can avoid some unexpected situations from happening. Now, the most crucial point is..."
"How are we going to get these two out of here without being discovered?" Eriol glanced at the mercury lamp and smiled, "Although there's no teleportation magic, but we do have someone who can fly here."
"After returning to the academy, I'll treat you to a week's worth of sweets from Candy House if you help me." The chairman said expressionlessly to Eriol, "It's quite tiring to fly with people."
At this moment, Xiaoluo felt as if something in her heart had collapsed.
"Hey, if you do this, the fans will cry! Their anger can cross dimensions and directly kill that shameless author! Do you want to end this book now?!" Little Lori shouted frantically.
"Do I have to ask for a certain amount of compensation from the person who asked for help, and is there any necessary connection with this book being too monitoring? And you just said that the author is shameless, so do you think ordinary verbal and keyboard attacks can kill that guy?"
Just as things were heading in an absurd direction, the eight strikes of the wall clock interrupted their daily routine.

After safely spending the first day of the first trial, people welcomed the morning of the second day. They opened up the screen that had been set up (the unfortunate transforming duo wasn't really girls, so naturally they wouldn't sleep in the same room without any cover), and dragged Ilya and Fabiano out to start dressing them up.
"This is too cute!" Li Hua's eyes were heart-shaped, her hands clasped together in front of her chest, and she was screaming with a standard little girl look for some handsome and elegant young man.
Of course her target can't be a handsome guy or a useless guy or a clumsy guy, nor can it be various types of pots. It will only be a beautiful girl.
Alicia rubbed her aching forehead and gritted her teeth, saying: "Although it's very cute, can you explain to me why there is this kind of clothing in the luggage you stuffed into my space ring!?"
"Huh? Doesn't this suit your taste, Little Aili? No worries, I have sailor fuku, miko attire, gym uniform, judo uniform, tennis uniform, festival yukata, and magical girl outfit (Cecilia's eyes sparkled), if none of these satisfy you, then the ultimate wedding dress will definitely be flawless! What are you hesitating about? Hurry up and place your order! Our contact address is [beep], hotline phone number is [beep]. We look forward to and welcome your inquiry!"
"I think what you need now is not advertising, but rather letting the Creation God re-roll."
"Hey, do I really have to wear it like this?" Ilya's small face was as red as a ripe apple, and she used both hands to pull the hem of her short skirt, as if she would be exposed at any moment. Her sweet and shy voice instantly stunned Li Hua Yin. The people around them also had their mouths agape, and even if a bomb were dropped, they wouldn't come back to their senses.
Ilya was wearing a black camisole with beautiful lace trim on top, and a pure black ultra-mini skirt below. Her feet were clad in black leather boots, paired with light black over-knee socks. This mysterious all-black outfit, combined with her long, shiny black hair and her lovely, curious, and natural expression, gave everyone a strong sense of contrast moe. However, Ilya's already rule-breaking cute outfit was further enhanced by Li Hua Yin's addition of another terrifying equipment, directly causing everyone to petrify collectively.
A white satin hair accessory, and a cute white low-neck apron - yes, it's the legendary maid costume that has captivated countless otaku hearts, made famous by Akihabara!!
The little loli who came back to her senses pointed at Ilya and shouted at Li Hua: "Was it necessary for you to make the boy wear a skirt for the first time after transforming and have him debut in an absolute domain!? That guy didn't even notice that he shouldn't be walking around like that, did he?! You're doing this because you want to see it yourself, aren't you?!"
"Ah, I've been found out..."
"At least give me a negative response, you freak with a perverted soul!!"
Sophia fanned herself with her hand and smiled, "Perhaps Ilya was born to be a lovely girl, but the creator god happened to be dozing off at birth, so he made a mistake?"
I think it's more likely that he is playing a moe-style eroge game.
"So, Cecilia, can't you improve that medicine a bit? Let Ilya become a real girl from now on. It's a pity for her to waste this natural beauty as a boy." Sophia started her usual sinister plan with a half-covered mouth, "In this way, Misha and Ilya can develop a loving yuri relationship under Li Hua's leadership. And aren't you three childhood friends? I think it's quite suitable."
Li Hua was the first to raise her hand in approval; Eriol had an expression of crying and laughing at the same time; Shuīyín Dēng leaned against the windowsill, maintaining a calm demeanor, but the corners of his mouth were slightly raised; Jiaxi and Wǎqìsǐ hid far away with red faces; Gélánā was punching the wall on one side; Fǎbǐyànōu wasn't much better off, with a painful expression on her face; Yuègē held a book in her hands, sitting on one side, but her whole body was shaking; as for the crucial pharmacist Cecilía, she had long since disappeared - she laughed so hard that she rolled under the table.
Ilya's face as a party involved was written all over with "I didn't understand" - I guess she doesn't even know what lily means.
Mishelle let out a "hmmph" sound and steam rose from her head: "I, I, that..."
Alicia let out a sigh and patted Sofia's arm (height issue): "Alright, you just stop messing around. Next is Fabiano's turn to change clothes. Huayin, bring out another maid outfit."
"No! I'd rather die than wear that kind of clothes!" Fabiano suddenly retreated backward, waving his hands wildly like a startled little white rabbit.
"Alright, alright, you blonde twin-tailed girl, stop being so proud. Listen obediently." The little loli said with a deliberate show of sharp teeth and claws as she leaned in.
Fabiano took a deep breath, puffed out his chest and said loudly: "It's not for you to say that I'm arrogant!!"
It turns out that the biggest mistake in this world is to scold others for being arrogant with Nagisa's tone. The ORZ-like little loli, who has turned gray and white all over her body, silently thanks her cheap brother in her heart for giving her a good voice line.
Although a violent strike knocked down Eriol, unfortunately her companions were too numerous and Fabiano ultimately could not escape that tragic fate.
So Fabiano was also forced to wear a maid outfit - of course, it's better than Illya's, and after her efforts, she finally wore a sky blue long dress with an apron, which avoided the danger of exposure. But... is it suitable for a noble golden twin-tailed girl to wear a maid outfit? Or are you planning to dedicate yourself to the male lead and stand out among his many concubines (Shinshengumi members), so this episode is the legendary OVA special?
Ran away with the train...
Although the two people who transformed do not look like qualified maids at all, once Sophia's noble and elegant temperament is revealed, this small flaw instantly disappears. The two of them stood respectfully behind Sophia, and under her elegant and gentle gestures, they did not appear abrupt at all.
Alicia suddenly felt that the person behind Sophia would be replaced by Li Hua, who was so shocked and angry that he would immediately change his job to become a gentle and lovely lady who understood people's intentions.
The sentence just now is definitely correct and not mistaken.
The mercury lamp nodded satisfactorily: "En, it's okay to go out like this. Let's go have breakfast."
Then she walked to the door and tiptoed to stretch out her hand to open the door - couldn't reach the door handle.
"You can use the wings of...". Eriol wiped her forehead, which was covered in cold sweat, and reminded him, "And stop being cute, this chapter already has enough of that."

When beauties gather together, their destructive power grows exponentially - this can be testified by the old building near the Hope Garden's rear hill, which was once the stronghold of the Soy Sauce Army, where tree branches were trampled and broken, streetlights were dented at a height equivalent to the average student's head, and a large number of chaotic footprints that would drive even the most diligent cleaning aunt crazy.
So even if it's only been a few dozen days, Eriol has already gotten used to being gazed at by many weird uncles - okay, maybe calling them weird uncles is a bit rude for the young men in their flowering season. So, how does the shameless and demonic Onii-chan feel?
At least little loli was able to remain calm under these fiery gazes.
However, it was clear that Ilya and Fabiano couldn't do this. They both blushed and lowered their heads, carefully following Sofia's footsteps, afraid of being dragged away by their former comrades if they fell behind even a little bit. What made the two even more anxious was that Sofia, this sinister woman, actually treated them as maids, often calling out their pseudonyms to have them do chores.
Fabiano - Fafner; Ilya - Eirinol. Can be said to be the homophonic name of the original name. (Actually, I once considered the silver-haired loli in the moon world for Ilya's pseudonym... but it seems that there is not much difference.)
Fabiana could swear to God that she absolutely saw the idiom "Schadenfreude" on Eriol's face when he came up with the alias for the two of them; then she could continue her oath, swearing that she absolutely saw the words "This is fun" on Sophia's face as she was left stunned and flailing about by the sudden use of that damned alias.
These two, one big and one small, are actually the real BFFs. Look at how well they coordinate with each other, it's so tacitly understood. In comparison, Li Hua is just a troublemaker who tries to be funny.
Fabiano, who was secretly grumbling, was suddenly glared at by both Eriol and Sofia.
As for Ilya, after proving to the world that natural airheads may be cute but are absolutely unsuitable for household chores, this eternal and unchanging truth was sent away by Sophia to serve as a background character. Then she was surrounded by a large group of curious girls who were asking all sorts of questions about hair care, skin care, and maintaining her figure - everyone avoided the sensitive topic of Sophia's true identity - they were so serious that some people even took out paper and pen to take notes.
But at least Eriol didn't intend to adopt the method provided by Ilya - eating well, sleeping well and exercising well, this is a way of nourishing life, not a beauty method, right? - With Rockley's unlimited personality, this heavenly body was crafted, even if it were injected with T-virus, it wouldn't lose its shape, let alone these small things like irregular diet and rest.
The boys around her, with runny noses, were like mosquitoes on a hot summer day, hovering and not leaving — why did they have runny noses? Try running naked in the cold wind of early spring and see. However, the girls saw through their evil intentions and surrounded "Ailane" tightly in the middle, without leaving any gaps. On the other side, "Fafner" was still behind Sophia, only flirting with the maid but ignoring the master, which was also too rude — as for flirting with Sophia... many people had already been defeated under her hands, there was no need to add themselves to the list.
That was what a hungover and headache-ridden Kelsie saw when she arrived at the restaurant.
"You bunch of stinky brats, haven't you seen a maid before?! Not even the quality of a key class student in Hope Garden! You've ruined the image of our college! Sit down and eat quietly for your old mother!"
Before teaching students about image, could you please change out of your pajamas first?
Although they were all sweating bullets, everyone still followed Kriss's words and did as she said. No one wanted to face the teacher who had lost all sense of shame and was capable of coming up with the most outrageous and bizarre punishments.
Rubbing her forehead, Kris walked up to Sophia with a chocolate bar in her mouth: "Your maid?"
"Yes, Master Kris." Sophia wiped her mouth and stood up elegantly to bow, "Don't worry, they won't be participating in my trial starting tomorrow. To be honest, I didn't even know about their arrival beforehand, until I received a letter from home. Otherwise, I wouldn't have bothered them to come all the way here. Hehe, family members always like to worry unnecessarily."
"You're joking, miss. This is our duty." Fabiana naturally understood the importance of acting at this time, and she restrained herself from pouring a wooden cup full of milk on Sophia's head and said with a bow.
"Huh?" Suddenly, Kris took a step forward and stared at Fabiano and Ilya with confusion, "Haven't we met before?"
Oh no! Coach Kris had already seen them in the bathroom before we even checked them in, what if she remembers and also happens to know their exact check-in time? That would be a dead giveaway! Hopefully, nobody will be so annoying as to reveal their check-in time but instead use the vague term "last night".
The little loli wiped away cold sweat while holding her breath and staring at several people, with her heartbeat almost stopping.
Fabiano's face changed dramatically as he hastily denied it, and at the same time, he restrained Ilya, who was about to answer, by twisting his waist. Are you sure this is really an unconscious action of yours and not intentional flirting? Where did that manly demeanor go when you were exchanging sweet nothings with Cecilia (Fabiano: Who said that was flirting!?)
"Ah, forget it. Thinking about it is giving me a headache. Anyway, you can only serve Sofia today, and starting tomorrow, she must complete the trials on her own."
"Of course, don't worry." Fabiano replied with an obvious sigh of relief.

In the morning's notice explanation and after lunch, Joy finally found an opportunity to confess to "Ailane" - yes, you didn't read wrong, it was a confession. This boy who never had any limits simply ignored other people's gazes, no matter if he was misunderstood, despised or ridiculed, he would struggle for his unshakeable ideals and burning fighting spirit! As long as his faith still existed, Joy would stand up again! No matter how many difficulties and formidable enemies lay ahead on the road, they couldn't stop him from advancing forward!
Yes, in fact, Joey is the one who can kill gods with a fruit knife in this book. All reasonable settings are just a waste of paper in front of him, a pig's foot surrounded by tens of millions of halos. Even his good friends Tom and Bart can't be mentioned in the same breath as him.
But he also has an arch-nemesis in his fate despite being such a heaven-defying existence.
A completely shameless and unscrupulous, with a great goal comparable to Joey's, Xiao Qiang spirit is like entering the Spring Brother teaching, hot-blooded and headstrong, even if California Governor can't pull back, no matter what obstacles are encountered, will not retreat, every day being electrocuted without increasing magic resistance, red-haired single ponytail super perverted yuri girl - Li Huayin!
This arch-nemesis in this life also unexpectedly blocked Joie's way again.
Alright, I'm guilty, I shouldn't have run away with the train. The truth is that Joy stopped Elijah, who didn't know the truth and wanted to deceive the naive girl with his glib tongue, while Li Hua Yin jumped out to stop him beside her.
Eriol, Mercury Lamp, Sofia, Fabiano and Cecilia watched the unexpected comedy unfold before their eyes with varying expressions, choosing to remain silent for the time being.
"This is a very reasonable request, you have no right to stop me!" Joey pointed at Li Hua and said loudly.
Li Hua suddenly raised his head: "Of course I can stop you, because this girl is mine!"
"What? Isn't she Sofia's maid?" Joey was stunned, "When did she become yours?"
"Even Sophia herself is mine, let alone her maid?"
At this time, Sophia's forehead flashed a blue vein, then she shook her small fan and covered her mouth, taking a step forward: "Since you all want to get my little maid, let's just have a duel. Whoever wins can pursue this little cutie."
Jiao Yi was taken aback: "Uh, a duel? Isn't that a bit exaggerated?"
Li Hua hummed a laugh, put his hands on his hips and said: "What's wrong, are you afraid? Let me tell you, it's not just Sophia, all the girls in the dormitory will be taken into the Hou Palace (Divine Beast) by me! This girl I won't give to you no matter what!"
Alyssa also saw the point at this moment, she made a very wronged look, pouting her small mouth and walking to Li Hua's side, gently pulling the corner of his clothes, her eyes full of tears twinkling upwards.
"Oh, little Ai Li, don't worry. You will always be my first wife." Li Hua hastily patted the little loli's head to comfort her.
The additional attack of the wicked Lolita finally made Joey's anger value break out, and he roared like a mad lion: "Well, let's duel! We'll meet in the courtyard in ten minutes!" Then he turned around and left, probably to get his equipment.
"Hum, who's afraid of whom! How can I tolerate you disgusting boys setting foot in my backyard!" Li Hua also went back to her room after saying that.
Little loli came to Sophia's side after the two disappeared and asked: "Satisfied?"
"En, very satisfied."
The contempt and horror in the eyes of the rest of the people were almost palpable, as if they could be transformed into dynamic light waves and shot out - although with the thickness of these two's faces, it's probably impossible to even break through their defenses.

Although Li Hua had broken through to 2nd level warrior after the fierce battle with An Qi and on the train, since Joy could enter Class A, he must have some skills. So when Li Hua returned, that tattered beggar-like outfit was not surprising at all.
"Sophia," Li Hua asked as soon as she entered the door and lay down on her own bed, "won't this inexplicable duel today be your doing?"
Sophia covered her face with a fan and smiled secretly, but didn't make a sound. Instead, the mercury lamp disguised as a doll on the windowsill spoke up: "Has your pig brain finally figured it out? I thought you'd never realize this point."
"Uh... so Little Ai Li, were you also intentionally stirring up trouble at that time? Why did you treat me like this?"
Alicia suddenly pulled out a small silk folding fan and half-covered her mouth, smiling: "Because I think it's quite fun this way."
Your role is messed up! Don't go cosplaying as others!
"Anyway, Li Hua is also looking for trouble by speaking out of turn this time. Next time she should be more careful. In any case, the most important thing now is that the transformation time for these two people is almost here. Let's have an early dinner soon and start making preparations." Cecilia said, glancing up at the wall clock.
"Yes, for example, your clothes and all that." Khach suggested, "Fabiano's uniform is hopeless, or we can go out and buy a casual one now?"
Alicia: "No, since we spent a night in the mountains, where did you get clothes from? Just prepare one cloak."
Fabiano: "Do you and I have a grudge?"
Eri: "No, but isn't this kind of fun?"
Sophia: "Yeah, it's indeed quite interesting. So it's settled then."
Fabiano: "Don't ignore me! What about my human rights?!"
After bidding farewell to the crowd in a female attire, Ilya and Fabiano, this pair of difficult brothers, finally ended their arduous transformation journey when they were thrown into the wilderness outside the city by the mercury lamp. Then, they had no choice but to support each other like the closest gay friends and walk back to the hotel for a long distance - what awaited them there was not a warm bed, but the jealous and resentful eyes of the crowd.
Everyone saw them fall into the girls' bathroom. Although they look miserable now (hit by a mercury lamp), at least they're still breathing, right?
"What have I done to offend you!!"
This was Fabiano's last faint cry as he fled like a rabbit from the swift Ilya (who was a warrior) while being swallowed up by a surging crowd that seemed like a sea of zombies.
