"Senior sister, you..."

Seeing her hard-earned relief undermined by this unscrupulous senior sister, Dorothy felt completely numb.

"We are still students, after all, and a student’s duty is to study well and make progress every day. Senior sister, talking about romance isn’t decent—let’s change the topic."

She firmly refused.

Unfortunately, her objection was utterly useless on her own.

"Oh yes, I love this topic; it’s just what we should discuss in a girl’s gathering."

The previously sharp-eyed Senior Mia quickly switched sides and joined the enemy.

Well, that made it 2 to 1 now.

So, the decision now lay with the others.

"The king’s will is my choice."

Miss Moon Rabbit’s declaration was utterly loyal, which delighted Dorothy.

Great, now it’s 2 to 2.

Since the Angel Witch usually had no interest in such topics, the Homebody Witch didn’t rush to look at her but instead turned her gaze towards the head-bowed Little Fox, Akari.

However...

"I’m sorry, senior sister; I’ve always wanted to have a girls’ gathering like this with friends, so I agree."

Dorothy had never expected her always obedient and adorable junior to betray her, which made her eyes widen.

Audrey, on the other hand, guiltily lowered her head.

For one, she had always been friendless and quite wanted to participate in a gathering like this with friends, but if it were just any general topic, she wasn’t very interested. But romance...

The thought of her first follower, who always treated her like a little sister, stirred something inside Little Fox.

Being friendless, she naturally didn’t know how to talk about love. She had long wanted to muster the courage to confess to her longtime online crush, but she was too nervous to start, and she also didn’t know how to break the ice.

After all, she really didn’t know anything about love.

Unfortunately, she didn’t even have anyone to discuss such matters with; if she told either of her mothers or her sisters, they would probably love to chop her heartthrob into pieces via the internet cable.

Therefore, this unspeakable love could only be buried in Little Fox’s heart in the past, but now, with these friends who weren’t coveting her body and the coincidental girls’ gathering focusing on the topic of romance, how could Audrey refuse?

Thus, to extract the secrets of love from her senior sisters, Little Fox resolutely betrayed her senior sister with tears.

I’m sorry, senior sister. You’ll have to endure today, but I’ll find a way to make it up to you later.

Well, now the score had come to 3 to 2, leaving just Sophia’s final vote.

Dorothy glared hard at her usually well-cared-for White Eye junior sister, thankful she had placed her final hope on the Angel Witch.

Hehe, I’ve lived under the same roof with Sophia for so long; don’t I know her temperament and character? To someone so career-minded, what’s romance to her? She definitely wouldn’t be interested.

So, even though Audrey’s rebellion caught me off guard, with a guaranteed 3 to 3, I still have a chance to save myself.

The Homebody Witch felt utterly confident.

However...

"Hmm, okay."

Although the Pure White Witch still found the Masked Senior Sister somewhat untrustworthy, she knew it was difficult to oppose the young lady’s decision. Moreover, since the other party was the teacher’s disciple, technically her senior, and considering her presence was known to the teacher, she decided not to say more since the teacher hadn’t raised any objections.

But even though they were fellow disciples, she couldn’t fully trust her. There were only two people in the world she could trust unconditionally: her teacher and the young lady.

For someone as cautious and prudent as her, the last thing she wanted was a target with unknown details. With the heavenly-arrived senior sister being such an enigma, she felt it necessary to gather some information about her.

And since it was about observing, it was natural to figure out what the other party really wanted to do, so temporarily going along with her plan seemed like a good choice.

Wasn’t it just the romantic engagement event? Although Sophia had indeed never participated in such an event before, it seemed manageable. Moreover, one could often deduce information about someone’s preferences based on the person they liked.

However, to ensure the authenticity of the information, it was necessary to add some constraints.

"Senior Sister, if it’s just about the romantic engagement event, that would be boring. Let’s do something bigger. I just saw something interesting among the student council juniors—a game called ’Truth or Dare.’

The Angel Witch suddenly pulled out a contract that made Dorothy’s eyelids twitch—a familiar-looking one— and said.

"Uh, the Divine King’s True Word Contract?"

Senior Fanny, being quite knowledgeable, immediately recognized the familiar aura from the contract—it was her God King Teacher’s aura.

This made her slightly nervous; after all, she wasn’t supposed to wreak havoc on the teachers until fifty years later, whereas now, the teachers could wreak havoc on her.

Now she was incapable of resisting the power of the Witch King; the contract was also binding on her, and she had too many secrets that really couldn’t be revealed.

Additionally...

Senior Fanny glanced at Dorothy, whose face had turned dark.

Sigh, she vividly remembered the scene of her master’s social death previously; this thing was clearly a social death contract.

"Junior, it’s just a game; there’s no need to make it this formal," she said, a bit sheepishly.

Wow, this Little Angel is really annoying, a bit difficult to handle.

"Senior Sister, romance is a very serious matter, and I think being extra cautious is not too much. Besides, we will all be part of the same club, family, in fact. I believe such open and honest interaction will help us open up to each other more quickly."

To unveil the true face of this Masked Senior Sister, Sophia also went all out, even pulling in the ’family’ card—the young lady’s favorite.

On this note, Senior Fanny took another look at her master and, with determination, decided to go all in.

Well, no pain, no gain. To contribute to a greater fun today, a bit of sacrifice was needed.

"Alright, but let’s get this straight, we will only discuss topics related to romance," she emphasized again to prevent unexpected questions.

"Naturally."

Seeing her target hooked, Sophia nodded in satisfaction, swiftly drafted the contract, and then circulated it for everyone to read and sign.

Dorothy was the last to sign; the whole situation had left her weary. She still couldn’t understand why Sophia, typically aloof, would agree to such a romantic engagement event, and now to complete this social death contract.

But things had come to this, and her lone opposition was ineffective, so she resignedly signed the contract.

Thinking positively, if today was about social death, she wouldn’t be the only one, right?

...The Homebody Witch shivered...
