Chapter 10 : Indeed, not same person
“Thank you for the medicine, and also for your honest confession, Winnie~?” Aesphyra tossed Winnie a sultry yet mischievous glance.
“Honest my ass!” Winnie was nearly driven to roll his eyes by this shameless silver-haired dwarf nut who took everything he offered.
Ugh, aaaaaaah! Seriously, she's driving him crazy, could this damned silver-haired nut actually be his natural nemesis??
“You wicked, evil silver-haired dwarf nut! I help you out of kindness, and you dare play mind games with me?! You're asking for a beating!” Winnie raged. In his fury, he nearly activated his Mental Attack Technique, but froze mid-sentence, suddenly realizing he had no valid target to attack.
Just what, exactly, was he supposed to attack Aesphyra for?
W̄еb.n̂ о̄v̆el Еnum а
Her parents were dead; the entire Carillian family now had only her as its sole surviving member. Even if Winnie wanted to attack her, there was nothing he could target, this silver-haired dwarf nut's tragic backstory was utterly flawless?
Crap. He'd encountered a being capable of thriving unchecked on the internet of his past life.

“You shameless little bun, I should've never saved you!” Winnie pulled out his double-barreled shotgun, pointing it at Aesphyra, but couldn't muster a proper threat. After a long pause, he grumbled, “Fine, forget it.”
“Hmm~ Thanks, Winnie. But most of all, I'm truly grateful to Miss Vanessa. Going this far for me... clearly Miss Vanessa already holds some affection for me, right? Very good, very good. Winnie is indeed very responsible in fulfilling our agreement from the carriage,” Aesphyra said, grinning like a fox that had just stolen oil.
Damn, even Julliana wasn't as fox-like as her!
“What agreement?! Back then I was told the truth, okay?! I'm the last of my family! And I don't even know any Vanessa, got it?!” Winnie snaps. “Stop with this 'agreement' nonsense, I have no other relatives, I can't help you at all!”

“Alright, alright, I know now,” Aesphyra smiled, gazing at Winnie with that cunning, sultry expression that looked unbearably smug to him.
Seriously, if only he could beat this silver-haired little bun, he'd have already struck.
“Know my ass! What do you think you know?! I offer you heart-to-heart connection, and you play mind games with me?! Give back the potion! I regret giving it to you! Return it, I'm not saving you anymore, let this hateful little bun die on her own!” Winnie lunged for the potion, but Aesphyra elegantly dodged aside.
In terms of physical skill, Winnie was no match for Aesphyra. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't catch her as she kept evading, both of them ended up playfully chasing each other around the courtyard, scuffling back and forth without end.

“Huff, huff, huff!” Soon, Winnie was exhausted, panting like a dog in place. Looking up, he saw Aesphyra still standing gracefully, arms cradling the pink potion bottle, smiling sweetly at him.
“This won't do. Since it's a gift from Miss Vanessa, imbued with her deep affection, the 'Blessed Angel's Kiss', I can't possibly let Winnie take it back,” Aesphyra murmured tenderly, gazing at the pale-pink medicine shimmering with faint holy light in her hands.

“Blessed Angel's Kiss... now that I think about it, that name really does suit it~ The blessed Angel's Kiss has descended upon me. How romantic, don't you think, Winnie?~”
“Romantic your nut head!” Winnie, though utterly drained, was still mouthing off.
“You silver-haired little bun, what are you doing?! Can't you act normal?! Is puberty hitting you or something? Why invent these completely fake scenarios?!” Winnie glared at Aesphyra.
“I always thought you were a fairly rational girl, so why are you suddenly acting like someone with love on the brain?? Come on, a beautiful girl rescuing you when you're near death and giving you a love token? That only happens in novels, okay?? Stop imagining these ridiculous scenarios!”
“I'm sorry to burst your lovey-dovey bubble, but this potion wasn't given by some beautiful girl. I'm just a rough guy who went home these past few days and randomly dug it out from some dusty corner of an old warehouse. I just repackaged it in a new bottle.”
“Yeah, this stuff's been sitting in the basement storage for ages, might even be mixed with rat droppings and urine. If you don't mind, go ahead and drink it. Drink it and die, you silver-haired little nut!” Winnie grumbled.

“Oh?~ Is that so?” Aesphyra tilted her head.
“Yeah, go ahead and drink it if you dare! Might taste like piss!” Winnie crossed his arms and huffed.
“Then, I won't be shy?” Aesphyra unscrewed the cap and tilted the bottle slowly. Pale pink liquid poured out, releasing wisps of white, foam-like bubbles resembling angel feathers.
“Tch! Look how eager you are, choke on it,” Winnie stated nearby.
After finishing the entire bottle, Aesphyra capped it, took out a silk handkerchief, and gently wiped her lips. Then, hugging the bottle close, she skillfully tossed the gloves and handkerchief into the trash bin by the door.
Immediately after drinking, Winnie clearly saw a pale pink glow shimmer across Aesphyra's skin. She looked radiant, and faintly, a pair of white wings seemed to manifest behind her, as if an angel had descended at that moment to protect her.

“Since you drank it all, why keep the bottle? Why not throw the bottle away too?” Winnie had expected her to toss the bottle, but instead, she clung to it, clearly unwilling to let go.
“This is the first gift Miss Vanessa ever gave me, the most precious one. Of course I'll keep it~?” Aesphyra smiled sweetly.
“Damn it, I already told you there's no Vanessa! Can't you understand human speech? Or is your nut brain too small to grasp this?!” Winnie couldn't help but snap.
“And what other relatives? I don't even know I have any! What same-age relatives? Why isn't she attending Carillian Academy? If I can get in, why can't she?!”

“Winnie, you don't need to explain. Actually, you don't have to hide it from me, I'm on your side, you know~” Aesphyra laughed.
“Whatever, I don't want to talk to you anymore, bye.” Winnie rolled her eyes. “Anyway, I'm telling you the truth. No matchmaking, I can't do it, because this person simply doesn't exist.”
“Fine, you've drunk the medicine. How do you feel? Any rat taste?” Winnie asked, suddenly realizing his question might be inappropriate.
The potion was made with his own refined blood essence. Saying it tasted like rats would be insulting himself too, wouldn't it?

“Odd tastes? Not at all.”
“Then what does it taste like?” Now Winnie was curious, what did his blood-infused alchemical potion actually taste like? Surely not a bloody aftertaste?
Ѐǹu̇ ḿа
He'd never even tasted it himself. He should've taken a sip to try.
“The scent of white camellia, and... a soft, warm fragrance like bird feathers. Sweet, with hints of sunshine and morning dew,” Aesphyra described.
“? You didn't drink alchemy potion, you drank a rainbow??” Winnie deadpanned.
He had no idea his blood-made potion had such a unique flavor.
And white camellia scent? Really?
He'd specifically removed Vanessa's scent from the bottle, could it have lingered in the potion?
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
No way?? And he definitely hadn't added all those flavorings, right??
Besides, he'd drunk Blessed Angel's Kiss before too, why didn't he taste all that back then?
Oh right, last time he was already unconscious when he drank it. Of course he remembers nothing.
“More than taste, it feels like sensory stimulation. The sensation was so intense that when asked about taste, I honestly can't describe it,” Aesphyra touched her cheek, sharing her experience.
“When you drank Blessed Angel's Kiss last time, did you taste all that?”
“Winnie, if I recall correctly, last time you fed it to me, and I'd already lost consciousness, right?” Aesphyra tilted her head.
É ñ u̇ m̌ a ._і̆ ḋ
Ah, yeah, that was true.
Aesphyra gently touched her chest.

Before, it felt like several deep wounds had torn open, every breath brought icy, sharp shards piercing her heart. Each inhale caused excruciating, bloody pain, just like when she spoke earlier. But Aesphyra had endured it all, maintaining her usual expression.
She was never someone who cried and whined at the first sign of hardship.
After drinking Blessed Angel's Kiss, she clearly felt the widening cracks in her chest being gently stitched together by a warm force. Breathing no longer caused unbearable agony.
Although only a two-wing Blessed Angel's Kiss, due to the high quality of the blessed angel's blood essence and the potent medicinal strength, drinking the entire bottle allows the warmth to gradually heal and repair her wounds.

[Divine Blessings] was a blessing of divine blood, it did not belong to humans. To control it, one must pay a corresponding price.
Misusing this divine power recklessly often leads to life-threatening consequences. These wounds were supposed to be irreversible, yet they had been soothed by the angel's grace and favor.
Aesphyra, already feeling powerless, had completely lost hope. She had always valued her independence, and if she couldn’t manage to help herself, then no one else could possibly do so either. Besides, she had never been the type to rely on or seek help from others.
She'd never depended on anyone outside her family, and after mastering her skills, she hardly depended on her family either. Instead, many of the family's strategies and business decisions rely on her guidance.

This time, she unexpectedly felt the rare sensation of being helped by someone else and escaping danger.
A strong sense of peace welled up in her heart.

So... accepting help from others actually felt quite nice?
“Thank you, Winnie. And also, Miss Vanessa.” Aesphyra sincerely expresses her gratitude.
“Tch, don't thank me. Who knew I'd be so unlucky, now I owe you a favor??” Winnie pouted. “Ugh, owing favors to others is fine, easy to repay. But owing you? You're a walking disaster, every time I repay you, it's nothing but trouble!” he complained.
“Alright, as long as you're okay. I already told Mirexia you've been unwell recently and took a leave for you. Rest well until classes start, don't go to student council duties.” Saying this, Winnie turned and headed toward the gate.
“Winnie is unexpectedly thoughtful. Thank you, and please thank Lady Mirexia~~ for me too,” Aesphyra smiled radiantly.

“Haha, don't thank me yet. I didn't tell Mirexia the real reason you're unwell, so... wanna know what excuse I used to get your leave approved?” Winnie smirked, already thinking of how to get back at her.
“I suppose it was sick leave?”
“Obviously sick leave. But do you know exactly what kind of sick leave I filed for you?” Winnie grinned mischievously.
“Oh? Do tell, Winnie?”
“It's 'cold uterus'~” Winnie said slowly, grinning wickedly. (1)

“...” Aesphyra stared at Winnie with a fake smile. “Winnie, I'm sorry, I didn't quite hear that. Could you please repeat it?”

“The leave slip I filed says 'cold uterus'! Hahahaha!”
“You uterine-cold dwarf nut, don't even think about catching me! Hoho, disaster always lags one step behind me! I'm out of here!” Winnie cackled smugly, afraid Aesphyra might chase him, and bolted out the courtyard gate first.
Perfect! So satisfying!

He'd been tricked by Aesphyra, but now he'd gotten his revenge, and gained so much Virtue from her too!
Today was a great victory for him, the notorious young master of Camella Capital!
Aesphyra stood silently, smiling but saying nothing, staring at the courtyard gate for a long time, until the figure dashing away while laughing wildly was no longer visible.
After a long while, she finally sobbed and shook her head.

“Really... how could I have ever had such an absurd thought?”
“How could the two of them possibly be the same person?” With that, Aesphyra hugged the potion bottle and walked toward her villa.

Not only was such an utterly ridiculous notion, even if she truly believed a boy could become a girl, there was no way to explain why their personalities were so drastically different.

Cold Uterus - It's a blood circulation concept in Traditional Chinese Medicine. Symptoms are a bad digestive system and some problems related to periods. Here it is said as a joke.
