[Danu Military Academy] In front of the Four Seasons Fountain

"I really worry about Little Teresa..."

Lian, coated with a layer of silver yarn by the moonlight, gently brushed the water surface with her index finger, sighing softly, "She’s still a child."

"I worry about her too."

Foster, sitting on a bench, pushed up his glasses while flipping through a book and said calmly, "But Teresa is not a child. She is already an adult and in many domains, she is even more excellent than most adults."

Lian shot Foster a teasing glance, wrinkling her nose, "I know she’s a genius in the military domain, I know she’s read just as many books as you have, I know she’s smarter than Qian Bird, and I know the experimental equipment Caruz stole will be modified by her. But you should also know... I’m not referring to that."

"If you’re referring to matters of love, Lian."

Foster closed the book in his hand, a faint smile appearing at the corners of his mouth, "Actually, we aren’t much more mature than Teresa... At least I don’t think my experience is richer than hers."

Lian blushed slightly, grabbed the romance story book from Foster titled "Remote Records: Seven Hundred and Seventy-Seven Days," and muttered, "I... I’ve never been in love either."

"So we actually don’t have enough grounds to instruct Teresa."

Foster raised an eyebrow, not continuing the topic of romantic experience, just saying lightly, "Only... Teresa does lack enough experience, especially in interpersonal relations, put this on."

Lian took Foster’s coat, amused, and draped it over her shoulders, "Even though it is nighttime, and the fountain is right behind us, with my physical fitness, I won’t feel cold."

"But in many stories, this kind of behavior highlights a man’s thoughtfulness."

"So those stories aren’t realistic."

"But you still put it on."

"Because I’m very thoughtful."

"Haha~"

Foster shook his head in a defeated manner, shrugging after a while, "Many times, stories are unrealistic not due to the creator’s lack of skill, but because the definitions of reality and romance often contradict."

Knowing Foster wouldn’t deliberately say pointless things, Lian squinted, contemplating, "So this is your plan?"

Foster patted the empty spot next to him, asking knowingly, "What plan?"

"Let Teresa use Compound Water Agent to become like you and participate in the [Warfire League]."

Lian sat elegantly beside Foster, staring unblinkingly into his eyes, "Then secretly manipulate the match to let her face off against the Black Vatican Priest in the thirty-two to sixteen match simulation, to make her recognize reality?"

Foster leaned back against the chair, closing his eyes comfortably, "Wrong."

"Eh?"

Thinking she had guessed Foster’s plan, Lian was taken aback and curiously asked, "Then why? You’re not trying to set them up, are you?"

"Of course not. In fact, unless something unexpected happens, someone like the Black Vatican Priest should never end up with Teresa. At least, I personally think they shouldn’t be together."

With his eyes closed, Foster’s emotions were unreadable as he gently breathed out, "Actually, I lied to Teresa. Regardless of what decision she eventually makes, I will not support her desire to become lovers with the Black Vatican Priest."

Lian tightened the jacket Foster draped over her shoulders, smiling wryly, "Yeah, after all, the Black Vatican Priest already has a lover, and it’s said he even reprimanded a student because of the Forget Language Saintess, oh right, that student Richard whom Ramorok met with today. How could he possibly..."

"It has nothing to do with that."

Foster interrupted Lian, then reiterated with emphasis, "Not the slightest bit."

Lian was initially stunned, then quietly nodded, "Then what’s your reason?"

"The reason... I’ll explain later. Let me first tell you my approach."

Foster teased her curiosity, speaking gently, "The main purpose of helping Teresa isn’t to make her recognize reality, but to make her recognize romance."

Lian was dumbfounded for a moment, "Recognize... romance?"

"Exactly, recognize romance. Because, from our perspective, the core reason Teresa has feelings for the Black Vatican Priest is purely based on the battles in Misha County and Sumer... To be precise, it’s merely an understanding from the Battle Reports. Undoubtedly, it’s a kind of romance, a romance only those like Ramollok and Teresa Tarosa can truly appreciate."

Foster slowly opened his eyes, his expression slightly grave, "As for their reactions... you’ve seen it too, Ramorok is almost eager to challenge the Black Vatican Priest, whereas Teresa is..."

Lian sighed deeply, "Whereas Teresa likes him."

"At least she thinks she likes him."

Foster nodded, speaking softly, "That’s why I agreed to Teresa’s request, willing to cheat for her once, allowing her to officially engage with that so-called ’romance’ beyond her subjective speculation."

Lian tilted her head, thinking for a while, then asked uncertainly, "You want her to confrontingly defeat the Black Vatican Priest? Then realize he isn’t as she imagined? Shaking Little Teresa’s emotional foundation from the root?"
