Reincarnated without a job, the vampire lady must show her true abilities.

Chapter 18: The End of 402 Years

The last day of the year 402 of the Ankylion calendar arrived as scheduled. The magical city of Sharia was exceptionally lively today, as students welcomed a holiday of moderate length to celebrate the end of the year.

Naturally, Loki and her friend Lanleta also came to the streets of Sharia.

"Don't you have to go to your teacher's today?" Lanleta asked, circling around Loki. "She actually gave you the day off."

"The teacher probably has something to take care of... What about you?" Luo Qixi looked at her and paused. "Weren't you resting too?"

"Ah... let's not talk about that." Lanleta seemed to have thought of something and covered her head. "My dear teacher, Genus, is finally willing to let me rest for a while..."

Ah, I almost forgot... Lanleta's teacher seems to be Professor Genus, whom I once admired... Not long ago, probably after my conversation with the teacher, Genus invited Lanleta to his office.

After giving her a severe dressing-down for over an hour, he finally accepted her as his apprentice... Without his teacher's help, Luo Qixi wouldn't have believed it.

Although it might seem a bit cruel to say this to Lanleta... Loki was still quite happy to see that Lanleta was finally willing to study hard.

"Let's not talk about these things today!" As if finally free from her teacher, Lanleta waved her hand and said, "Today is the last day of the 402nd year of the Ankylosaurus calendar...we should be happy no matter what!"

Yes, today is the last day of the 402nd year of the Kakuryo calendar. In just six months, the teacher's exam will be coming up... Am I confident that I can pass the exam?

And there's also the shortened chanting... No, no! Today is rest time, I can't think about these things... Luo Qixi slapped her face to wake herself up.

But actually, it's not like that; a gust of cold wind is enough to wake her up.

As expected, it snowed in Sharia today. Although it has lightened considerably, there is still a thick layer of snow on the ground. Loki and Lanleta walked awkwardly on the snowy road, like two chubby penguins wobbling along.

"This is it!" Soon, as if she had discovered something, Lanleta pointed to a shop not far away and said, "We're here!"

The shop was located in a prime location on Sharia's commercial street, and it had a large sign that read "Lanletta Merchant Guild".

That's right, this is one of the shops of the Lanletta Family Merchant Guild. Lanletta's father seems to be a very successful businessman. If Lokixi remembers correctly, the Lanletta Family Merchant Guild was also present at the Rosenberg store she visited with her teacher a few days ago.

"Young Miss? You've arrived?" Upon seeing Lanleta's arrival, the shop owner immediately made way through the crowd.

"Do you and your friends need anything, young lady?" Facing Lanleta, the boss was quite respectful. His bowed head reminded Luo Qixi of the great demons she had seen in the Demon Continent.

I must say, Lanleta is really amazing...

"We're just browsing... Can I see the latest styles this year?" Lanleta said, shrugging. "The newest kind!"

"Ah...this way, please!"

Following behind the boss, Lanleta whispered to Loki, "Take a look and see if there's any clothing you like... and tell me."

"I send you!"

"Ah...isn't this a bit inappropriate?" Luo Qixi subconsciously waved her hand in refusal, "Besides, I...my school uniform is enough for me..."

"Hey!" Hearing Loki's words, Lanleta immediately waved her hand: "It's precisely because you're always like this that no boy has ever pursued you!"

"Male...male?"

"Look, what kind of girls do boys like?" Lanleta said, lowering her voice, "They either come from rich families... or they're wealthy."

"Or it has to be good-looking!"

"And there are many definitions of 'good-looking'!" Lanleta said, looking around at Loki. "Loki, you're still a little lacking in that aspect!"

"So you should dress up nicely!"

"I don't think I need to... attract attention or anything..." Although she said that, Luo Qixi still subconsciously glanced at the clothes here.

It has to be said that the shops of the Lanleta Merchant Guild are indeed very well done... There are many clothing styles here that Loki has never seen before... Of course, it's also possible that she is just too unfamiliar with the world.

After all, she had always lived the life of an adventurer, barely scraping by, spending most of her money on food and lodging... and occasionally using the remaining money to repair equipment and such...

Some of the money even had to be used as an entrance fee to enter the city... In short, for Luo Qixi, buying clothes that were just for decoration was too extravagant.

"What do you think of this one?" After thinking for a moment, Lanleta had already put on a dress. She turned around slightly, then pushed up her glasses and said, "Doesn't it give me the air of a big businesswoman?"

"Well……"

Seeing that Luo Qixi didn't speak, she immediately looked at the shopkeeper and said, "Please give me another one!"

"This one! Or this one would be nice too..."

It seems I don't need to worry about Lanleta anymore... Luo Qixi turned her head slightly to look at the clothes here.

The dazzling array of clothes made her a little dizzy, but no matter how she looked at them, she felt that they weren't quite right for her... They were probably more suitable for more mature people... rather than a child like herself.

When talking about children, Luo Qixi thought of her teacher... Although her teacher wasn't much taller or older than her, she was definitely much more mature than her.

Is it because of her temperament?

Is it because the teacher is very capable?

As she pondered, Luo Qixi's gaze fell upon a rather glamorous black and white long dress. The dress had a beautiful hem and white trim, and it also had a rather exquisite lace shawl...

It would look great on a teacher, right?

Luo Qixi thought about it carefully, and realized that this outfit actually matched her teacher's style quite well... After all, the black dress her teacher always wore was also quite glamorous...

"Loki, do you want this?" Lanleta walked up to her. "But I have to point out that it doesn't really suit your style."

"No...no!" Luo Qixi quickly shook her head. "I was just wondering if the teacher would like this dress..."

"Principal Sylvania..." Lanleta paused before saying, "If you'd like... you could give it to her."

"But..." Luo Qixi subconsciously pursed her lips upon hearing this, "What if the teacher doesn't like it?"

"And the teacher... the teacher might prefer more practical clothes?"

"These clothes can't be used in combat..."

"No, no, no, Miss Loki..." The shop owner chuckled and said, "This dress is made from the hide of a demon sheep from the Demon Continent."

"It has some water resistance, and can also resist a certain degree of magic... and even has a self-drying function."

Self-drying function...that sounds a bit...a bit amazing...

After hesitating for a few seconds, Luo Qixi asked softly, "Then... how much does this dress cost...?"

"Let's not talk about money," Lanleta shook her head and said to the boss, "Take this dress down... and put it in the gift box."

"No...no, Lanleta, this dress must be very expensive!" Loki waved her hand, trying to refuse.

But Lanleta patted his chest and said, "Don't say that! This is for your teacher!"

"Although Professor Genas is very strict, Principal Sylvania helped me out no matter what..."

"I'm so happy to be able to help you deliver a gift to her!"

Is that so...?

Although she felt a little embarrassed... Luo Qixi still felt a warm feeling in her heart.

But what is the teacher doing now?
