50.5 Dorm Room 147115

After ten minutes of watching Xuanmei walk around like a fool, the lady at the counter sighed as she stood up, placing a 'Be right back' sign down. She approached Xuanmei, who was busy looking for a dormitory that had the number seven on it.

"Mister, are you lost?"

"Mist- Oh yeah, I am."

Grasping her masked face, Xuanmei smiled as she laughed loudly. Well, at least it was more than enough to conceal her nervousness.

The lady hummed, signalling with her hand for Xuanmei to follow her.

"Which dormitory?"

"Uh, dorm room number is 147115." (A: I literally had to go back to check. Talk about forgetfulness and the lack of ability to memorise, man...)

"Xuanmei, you can't afford to slip up." Ming said from within her head, reminding her that they were here only for the (A: What the heck was is it, again?) Meriandem

(A: Ohhh, right. But, uh, is that even a real thing? I guess not, looking at how I said nothing at all that chapter.)

"I know, or I'll be kicked out of the school, because no masks are allowed at all, right?" Xuanmei whispered, as the woman took the lead, staying ahead of Xuanmei at least by ten small steps.

"Talk about strict rules."

Xuanmei chuckled to herself as quietly as she possibly could, catching up quickly to the lady in front of her.

"Right, so here we are at dorm room number 147115. Do you have the keys?"

"No."

"Well that's helpful! It's alright, I have a spare key. Thought that the oh so powerful sector leader would forget."

Placing the key into Xuanmei's hands, the lady who worked at the counter smiled warmly and closed Xuanmei's hands, leaving the keys in the palm of her hands.

"Take care of that key, because two out of three of the people inside will definitely not help you open the door."

"Wow, the threat of being locked out is real in this one."

"You're right. With such cruel and savage children, you would've thought the school would've disposed of them earlier." A blonde teenager inserted himself into the conversation, the sarcastic teenager seeming to almost want to sound as dramatic as possible.

"I mean, they tried to, but apparently it didn't work." He said, as his voice went flat and monotonous. Xuanmei stared at him. The teenager coughed lightly.

"Oh hi Beimei, nice to see you helping out our roommate."

The lady, Beimei, ignored the male who jumped into the conversation, turning to face Xuanmei. "I'll be leaving you to it." Facing the opposite direction, walking off, the Beimei kept her cool, pretending to have not seen the blonde.

"Rude." The blonde male whispered to Xuanmei.

"So welcome," The youth said as he opened the door slightly, tempting Xuanmei.

"To our literal hideout."

...Woah. How anticlimactic.

"Don't worry, all three of us are here today so you will forget all our names at the same time and not be inconsistent. Anyway, welcome. Welcome, to dorm room 147115, "
