The Villain Only Wants To Live a Buddhist Life
chapter-193

With the experience of Halloween, Dark was familiar with this kind of reply.

He took out a spare letter and gave the other party a formal response, telling the other party that he was honored to receive her invitation, but he had already accepted another person’s invitation, so he could only regrettably decline it.

Then the third letter, the fourth letter, and so on...

Amongst those invitations, it was also mixed with one or two letters of confession, but this was also very common, and Dark kindly told them that they should focus on their studies...

Being ignorant as a teenager can lead you to misunderstand feelings you never felt before. However, those feelings might not be love.

A true love should be precious, rare, and sincere. It’s not just a mindless pursuit of a romantic relationship.

Otherwise, it is not uncommon for one to meet a heart-wrenching end.

After all, falling in love with a person can't be just based on what you see on the surface.

...

Near ten o'clock, Dark finished writing fifteen replies.

He beckoned to DemiDevimon and asked it to send the reply letters to the students one by one according to the names on the envelope.

DemiDevimon whined and then flew out, bringing in a gust of cold wind when it went out.

Dark then took Eudora's confession letter again, thinking about how to get this kid back on track.

Both men and women, when they are young, their immature minds are easily influenced by others, and it is difficult to escape the attraction brought by the charm of appearance.

But when you get older, you can easily tell whether you like the person's appearance or the person.

Just like Dark, before he learned more about Pandora-senpai, he only liked her appearance, not her as a person.

He was not a person who would talk about things like "love and live" without knowing more about a person.

So he didn’t really understand why Eudora could produce the kind of ardent emotion expressed in the text.

"Is it possible that she has read too much melodramatic girls' literature?"

Dark poked at his cheek with the end of his pen.

At this time, he should have been seriously studying the problems left by [Fusion] refining.

"Maybe, not give her a response?"

"Although ignoring her is not clever, it is better than having an adverse effect."

"Maybe when she calms down, she can figure it out for herself."

...

"Knock, knock, knock."

Is DemiDevimon back?

Dark turned to look at the door, then got up to open it.

It was indeed DemiDevimon.

But with it came Dianna and Rose.

Both were wearing furry pajamas, one was a bear and the other was a bunny, and both exuded the scent of shower gel.

"Can we go in?" Although Dianna asked, her little head had already moved past Dark's armpit and looked inside.

"Good evening." Rose raised her hand shyly and waved it.

Dark let Dianna in and said helplessly, "Come in."

He didn't close the door again until the little bear, little rabbit, and DemiDevimon were all inside.

"Heh heh."

Since their first visit, Dianna and Rose have been visiting Dark's room more and more frequently, and their previous restraint has gradually disappeared.

Dianna, who entered the room, saw the Christmas gifts piled up in the corner of the room at first sight, and couldn't help but want to check them.

But her attention was soon distracted by the letter on the table.

Dark pulled out two chairs for them to sit down, poured two glasses of juice, and asked, "So, what’s the reason for such a late visit?"

Rose took over the silver cup filled with pear juice and smiled, "If we don't come here, a certain someone won't be able to sleep."

Dianna blushed, her eyes began to glance around in a flustered manner.

Dark nodded slightly, expressing understanding: "Okay."

Dianna muttered, "I just wanted to ask if there are any arrangements for the Christmas ball!"

Dark: "Yes."

Dianna: "Ehhh?"

Dark said helplessly, "I already have a dance partner. It’s Pandora-senpai from the library."

Dianna was stunned, and subconsciously said, "So you like older women?"

Dark couldn't help but chuckle: "She gave me a lot of pointers on research. And, it's just a dance."

"Sigh!" Dianna was upset. "Why is it always like this?"

Rose was also surprised.

She originally thought that Dianna was safe. After all, Dark didn't show any intention of getting close to any girl.

And the two of them were undoubtedly the closest to Dark.

If Dark wanted a dance partner, it should be between the two of them.

It was just that they didn't expect that a female senior would suddenly appear out of nowhere.

But then again, Pandora-senpai was indeed very attractive, and she also had many admirers in the academy.

It was really unexpected that Dark could get Pandora-senpai to be his dance partner without revealing any signs.

This made Rose think of a sentence in the book: "Excellent people are always attracted to each other."

It seems like Dianna is still not good enough.

She sighed slightly, not knowing how to comfort the childish Dianna next.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but look at Dark, seeking for help....

But Dark just shook his head slightly and said to Dianna, "This Christmas ball will be divided into the first half from nine to ten, and the second half from eleven to twelve. If you want, you can be my dance partner in the second half.”

"Eh?!"

Dianna became cheerful almost immediately.

She opened her eyes wide and looked at Dark seriously, "Really?"

Dark couldn't help scratching the bridge of her nose. "Of course it's real."

Just as Dianna was about to let out an excited cheer, she quickly covered her mouth and giggled secretly.

Act like a lady, act like a lady!

...

When Dianna left the Dark dormitory, she was so elated that she couldn’t even walk straight.

She whispered, "Rose, do you say the first half is better, or the second half?"

Rose pondered: "The first half is good, but in the second half, when the clock strikes twelve o'clock, you can spend the last moment of Christmas Eve with your dance partner."

Dianna: "Then I will choose the second half! Hehe!"

Rose: "Okay, okay. Remember to sleep early and maintain an energetic look."

Dianna; "Mhm!"

...

After Dark sent the two away, he sighed lightly.

In the case of a Christmas ball, the first half was actually more important. Although the second half was more meaningful, people’s energy was limited and their interest would gradually diminish. No matter the first half or the second half, it was impossible to keep dancing.

Even if one accepted an invitation from someone else in the middle, it was still quite normal.

By the second half, most of the people would probably no longer be in the banquet hall.

At most, some people would come back to dance to the last song when the clock struck at twelve o'clock.

Fortunately, Dianna is so easy to be appeased.

But I still need to notify Senpai.

"Mhm, it should be fine, right?"

It is just a dance.

Dark didn't really take the dance too seriously.

...

On the other side, in the office.

With the clock pointing to ten o'clock, White and Robert's detention punishment was finally over!

After wishing the Instructor a Merry Christmas, they ran back to the tower of the Knight House as if they were fleeing with their school bags.

"It's finally over, Robert!"

"Yeah, we now have a nine-day holiday! We're finally free!"

In the moonlight, tears welled up in White and Robert's eyes.

But after pushing the door of the tower, the Christmas atmosphere that rushed towards them made them stunned.

The common room at Knight House was no different from Noble House except for some differences in decor.

On the first night of the holiday, Knight House held a small celebration that didn't start until after ten o'clock.

Many even stated that they would stay up all night!

The atmosphere of Knight House was more unrestrained than that of Noble House.

In the corner of the common room, senior couples could be seen everywhere.

The crowd gathered in the middle even had a magic chess battle.

Both White and Robert were interested in Magic Chess.

But the two only truly realized that Christmas was really coming at this moment!

"Hey, Robert, what kind of gift do you want for the Christmas present?" White asked.

Robert shrugged. "How about a turkey leg? Then I'll give you a turkey wing in return."

White: "Okay, I'll think about it then."

The two closed the door to keep the wind from coming in.

And they all deliberately avoided mentioning the Christmas ball on Christmas Eve.

Robert: "Christmas balls and Halloween balls don't feel the same. It seems that it is difficult for juniors to find dance partners."

Hey, what about not mentioning it? ? ?

White hurriedly shifted his attention and said, "Robert, how about a game? I forgot how long ago was the last time I played magic chess!"

Robert also gradually became excited: "How can one game be enough? Let’s fight until dawn!"

...

No matter what happens, everyone has their own way of living.

White actually cared more about the Christmas ball than Robert did, but he was in a weird state of inferiority now that he didn't even dare to mention it.

Thinking of the dance, he could only comfort himself by telling himself that there was still a chance next year.

However, the Christmas presents still had to be prepared.

If he could use this to make a good impression in front of Pandora-senpai, it would definitely be worth it.

But what gifts should I give?

"Forget it, I will have a game of magic chess first!"

...

The next morning.

Perhaps due to the holiday effect, Dark slept a little later.

He picked up the cat grass that was lying on his face licking him, put it back in the sleeping basket, yawned a little, and got out of bed.

The winter sun filtered through the gaps in the curtains, casting a mottled shadow on the floor.

Dark opened the curtains and looked out for a while, then turned around and went to the bathroom.

After he washed his face, he applied his facial mask and arranged his hair.

Dark didn't plan to solve all the problems left over from last semester during the holiday. He picked up a copy of "Claire's Travel Diary" and read it while sitting on the lounge chair on the balcony.

After DemiDevimon had placed the bread, bacon, sausage, eggs, and milk on the stool beside him, he ate while reading.

"It is still this kind of life that suits me better."

It wasn't until after breakfast that Dark put down the "Claire's Travel Diary" after reading a section, and picked up today's "Daily Sage".

Christmas was only two days away.

After the holy church announced that they would hold a super-large mass in conjunction with Holy Mystery Academy, the eldest princess also announced that she would personally pray for the people in the Heroes Square in the capital on Christmas Eve.

There would be a lot of small gifts given out for free on the Heroes Square at that time...

"Faith or free gifts, which one is more attractive?"

Seeing this, Dark couldn't help but smile.

Although the battle between the hawks and the doves has gradually surfaced, the two factions actually had their own concerns, and for now, they just stopped at such petty fights.

If looking at the situation from the perspective of a bystander, it was sometimes quite interesting to watch.

...

After noon.

Dark headed to Traveller Street again.

From this day on, there were suddenly many more people in pairs on the street. There were all kinds of Christmas decorations hanging everywhere, and all the Christmas trees were draped in colorful lights.

Many lovely magical spirits were flying in the air, holding a sign to attract guests.

Dark caught a glimpse of White and Robert passing by in the crowd. Realizing that they had finally escaped from the hell of detention, he couldn't help feeling happy for them.

The Christmas ball was different from the masquerade ball. If one wants to appear at the ball, a formal dress is essential.

Therefore, every clothing store in the clothing area was overcrowded.

Students may not be able to find a fixed dance partner before the ball, but they would still have opportunities after the ball began.

Since the past, there have been many men and women who successfully held hands with the help of the atmosphere of the dance party.

But the premise was still to have a formal dress!

Dark glanced at the crowded crowd where he couldn't find even a crack, and couldn't help but feel grateful that he had bought the night prince suit before Halloween.

One point for Dianna.

Then he went to the small garden in the center of the street, where he watched a magic circus for a while.

The clown in the circus manipulated various magical spirits to perform extremely dexterous performances. The superb manipulation skill made the magical spirits move without delay, just like a completely real life.

Dark watched, fingers crossed involuntarily.

He finally got inspiration!

"I'll just give her that!"

...

After deciding on the Christmas present for Pandora, Dark stopped staying on Traveller Street.

He began to buy some adventure must-haves according to the plan.

During the nine-day holiday, he was not without plans.

Christmas was just secondary.

It was a rare holiday, so he wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to go to the secret passage for a longer adventure!

It was time to find the treasure left by the Valkyrie in the secret passage!

Although his desire for the treasure was not strong, he was curious about what the treasure was.

For this question, he had also asked Claire, but Claire just smiled mysteriously, and told him that the treasure was only treasure when it was full of surprises. If she told him what was hidden in the beginning, wouldn't it reduce the fun by half?

Dark said he didn't mind.

But Claire ignored him.

...

After returning to the dormitory, Dark completely calmed down.

He spent about three hours on the problems left by the [Fusion] refinement, and then started reading the book leisurely.

In the blink of an eye, Saint Marian ushered in the last night before the Christmas ball.

Someone was looking forward to it.

Someone had trouble sleeping.

Someone secretly made up their minds.

The bats that were active all over the castle seemed to have suddenly received some kind of call, and one by one they quietly flew into the upper floors of the castle and disappeared into the entrance of the secret passage.
