Time rewinds to the moment the concert ended.

Adele was probably discussing with her wings where to go for a late-night snack.

And in the dressing room where Miss Cha Keke was alone after her successful performance, a beautiful and petite figure appeared.

She was wearing a white dress, her long silver hair cascading down her back, almost ethereal, just like her delicate face, as beautiful as a doll from a fantasy.

She looked at the woman’s back with her eyes, bluer and deeper than the sea.

Coldly, as if she wanted to kill.

But surprisingly, there were no strong emotional fluctuations.

 

What was even more surprising was that a pair of snow-white wings appeared behind her, faintly flapping, stirring the air.

Although this mysterious girl didn’t make any sound, no footsteps, no words, Cha Keke still sensed her presence and turned around with a smile.

Before the girl could react, Cha Keke was already beside her, hugging her shoulders.

“Long time no see, Seraph~”

“So you finally found a girl you’re willing to take human form for?”

Seraph froze for a moment, she didn’t know if it was because she didn’t like this woman touching her, or because of the words the woman had just spoken.

But when she tried to break free, she found that a great force was pressing down on this weak body.

 

If she forced herself to break free, it would only destroy this body she had specifically created for Adele.

Although with Seraph’s power, she could recreate such a body at any time, and it would be no different from the original, with no visible difference in appearance, perhaps she had spent too much time in the human world.

Seraph, the angel who was supposed to be the most ruthless and impartial, actually started to feel attached to this body that still carried many traces of Adele.

So unexpectedly, she endured the urge to push the woman in front of her away with all her might.

She let the woman hug her neck intimately, just like in the distant past.

Cha Keke narrowed her eyes, hugging the expressionless girl, rubbing her cheek against Seraph’s long silver hair.

Although she had fallen and become a fallen angel, she didn’t seem to have any ill will towards Seraph, who stood on the side of righteousness.

 

It was unclear if it was because of their past friendship or some other reason.

But as former friends, now enemies with opposing stances, their reunion was truly bizarre.

“Let go of me.”

Seraph wasn’t good at dealing with this kind of “enthusiasm,” her request was straightforward.

To Cha Keke’s ears, it sounded incredibly cute.

“You haven’t changed at all, Seraph.”

“But you have strayed far from the righteous path.” Seraph said coldly.

 

“Righteous path? Perhaps.”

Cha Keke chuckled disdainfully and shook her head.

She wanted to continue hugging Seraph, who felt like a plush toy, but the word “righteous path” suddenly made her feel a little nauseous.

So she let go, which made Seraph relax a little. At least the strong desire to destroy and break free began to subside.

Then, she took a few steps back, keeping a safe distance.

Cha Keke tilted her head, looked at the expressionless Seraph, and chuckled again.

“Did you watch my performance? How was it?”

 

She still spoke in the tone of an old friend.

Seraph said flatly,

“Not bad.”

Even though she hated the current Cha Keke, she wouldn’t give a dishonest assessment.

“But you’re too bold, to openly reveal your true form.”

“Humans are very powerful now.”

If these words hadn’t come from Seraph, perhaps the people from the Dongdu Ability Enforcement Bureau would have been happy.

 

But hearing them from this angel… they could only feel sarcasm and mockery.

Because recently, they had used all their high-level power, and apart from Principal Winona of Cromwell Academy briefly detecting the angel’s energy signature, they had found nothing.

In other words, Seraph had made their plan to capture the angel a complete failure.

And seeing that so many resources had been wasted without achieving the mission objective, and thinking that it was already so difficult to even find her, if they were to actually face her and fight, it would probably result in heavy casualties.

After weighing the pros and cons, they issued an order to postpone the mission of capturing the angel.

But everyone knew that this meant giving up on the operation.

It could only be said that they had wasted a lot of resources for nothing.

 

Cha Keke raised her eyebrows, neither agreeing nor disagreeing with Seraph’s reminder.

“You shouldn’t be the one saying that, considering you just woke up not long ago.”

“…” Seraph then realized that Cha Keke had been awake and playing around in the human world for who knows how long.

In terms of familiarity with modern society and human power, she was just a novice compared to Cha Keke.

“You don’t seem to have awakened naturally.” Cha Keke continued.

Because if Seraph had awakened naturally, it meant that the being Cha Keke once devoutly believed in, “He,” was about to descend.

In that case, when Seraph met Cha Keke, it wouldn’t be possible for them to interact normally like this, let alone chat.

 

They would start fighting within five seconds of meeting, a fight to the death.

“What happened?”

Cha Keke leaned back against her vanity table. On the surface, she looked perfectly normal, but the mirror behind her reflected a dark shadow with black wings.

“Some people… broke in.”

“It seems like an accident then.”

“…Is there any awakening that isn’t an accident?”

A sharp glint flashed in Seraph’s eyes. Obviously, she realized something from Cha Keke’s words.

 

Cha Keke also looked at her with a mysterious smile.

“It seems your intuition hasn’t dulled after thousands of years of slumber.”

“That’s right, the revival of the mythical era has been brought forward, for some unknown reason.”

Seraph’s pupils dilated, her eyes like a stormy sea, waves crashing against the shore.

“But I can sense the aura of many people who were buried along with that era, they are reviving, they are returning.”

Cha Keke took a deep breath, as if intoxicated, and then turned her gaze back to Seraph.

“So, Seraph, your awakening is just in time.”

 

………………

The timeline rewinds back to the moment when Adele was in the library.

She had just finished reading “Victoria’s Secret ①” and was about to borrow the second book when she looked up and noticed the approaching storm outside the window.

Even in winter, there would be rainy days.

Adele hurriedly put the novel back on the shelf and returned to Sharon, who had been awakened from her studies, and started packing her backpack and textbooks.

“Sharon, let’s go back, it’s going to rain soon!”

“O-okay.”

 

“I forgot to check the weather forecast and didn’t bring an umbrella, what a blunder!”

Almost instantly, the rain started pouring down.

Even in the quiet library, there was a commotion.

Some looked out the window with worried expressions, while others just glanced up and continued reading.

It was just a little rain, they just needed to extend their study time by a few hours, wouldn’t it be over then?

Cromwell Academy’s library had dedicated study rooms that could be used for resting, like the one Adele and Sharon were currently occupying.

Therefore, it was not uncommon for students to stay overnight in the library if they studied too late.

 

The library had free air conditioning and internet, and you could even get pillows and blankets from the librarian, it was indeed a good place to spend the night.

If this were a university in Adele’s previous world, this place would have been packed.

But Cromwell Academy was basically a prestigious school. The human students who entered here were almost all elites, and the vampires had prominent families or astonishing wealth.

So they wouldn’t even consider staying in the library.

After all, even an ordinary Sequence Five student like Adele, with no money or power, could live in a two-story apartment in the academy.

Although it wasn’t a single room, it was a double room with a roommate (Sharon), but the conditions of the two-story apartment were good, with a living room, a balcony, a bathroom, and a kitchen.

This would make countless college students in Adele’s previous world envious.

 

Not to mention that Adele was actually living alone now, because Sharon had already accepted reality and was no longer living in a virtual dream, so there was no need for her to play the role of Adele’s mysterious roommate anymore.

Adele didn’t know if Sharon would keep this secret in her heart or confess to her one day.

But no matter what Sharon chose, Adele understood and respected her.

Hearing Adele’s worried voice, Sharon’s eyes suddenly lit up.

Then, the girl turned around, picked up her bag, and started rummaging through it.

Soon, a short umbrella appeared in her hand.

“Adele, here, I brought one.”

 

Sharon was so thoughtful and considerate!

But Adele didn’t take Sharon’s umbrella, instead, she said,

“If I take it, what about you, Sharon?”

“Let’s go back together~”

“But… the umbrella is a bit small.”

It was a common problem with single-person umbrellas, but at least Sharon remembered to bring an umbrella, not a parasol.

“It’s fine, we can squeeze together!”

 

Adele hugged Sharon without hesitation, rubbing her cheek against Sharon’s, and said with a giggle,

“Let’s cuddle~”

Sharon’s face instantly turned red, feeling a warm flush.

“I… I also like cuddling with Adele.”

Her voice was very soft, and she didn’t know if Adele heard it.

But this didn’t stop them from packing their things and getting ready to brave the rain and go back to the dormitory.

As for whether to go to Adele’s dormitory or Sharon’s, Sharon lowered her head and suggested first,

 

“I… I’ll take Adele home.”

Adele thought for a moment, her eyes rolling, and then agreed with a smile,

“Okay!”

She linked her arm with Sharon’s. Sharon held the umbrella, her backpack on her back, while Adele’s bag was casually slung over her other shoulder.

They walked with light steps, towards the wet road where puddles had already formed, splashing water droplets that stained their white silk stockings.

They would change when they got home anyway, so it wasn’t a big deal.

On the contrary, Adele enjoyed the feeling of holding Sharon’s arm and being hugged tightly by Sharon’s waist, the feeling of being cared for and loved.

 

And she looked forward to the… “rainy day story” that might unfold later~
