Chapter 95: We Are Still Friends.
With all the sh*ts happening, Ray finally reached the school.
However, he was pretty surprised when he saw the hallway to his classroom was ruined like it was hit by a small meteorite.
??
\' Alice wouldn\'t sneak away and almost blew up the school, wouldn\'t she?\'
He found some students who were still lingering around the school and asked them what happened here.
\' So that\'s what happened. Is this the reason why Jean became a villain in the story? *Sigh* Nevermind, let\'s find Jean first. I hope she\'s okay.\'
After hearing their explanation, Ray rushed towards the school infirmary where Jean was supposed to be treated. But, when he arrived at the infirmary, he was pretty surprised that it was empty.
The infirmary was desolate, and there were no traces of people over there.
Ray searched the whole school for Jean, but it was to no avail. What made it worse was the student\'s attitude when Ray asked them about Jean. They treated Jean like a bloodthirsty murdered and warned Ray to stay away from her.
Now Ray was back to square zero. There was no clue about Jean\'s whereabouts, and asking other students won\'t help him.
\' Think, Ray, there must be a pattern. If this world was based on the Otome game, there must be a secret place that you missed. But where is it…\'
Suddenly Ray got an epiphany. There was no guarantee that Jean would be there, but trying would not hurt. He left the school building and went toward the abandoned building.
……
Behind the abandoned building, a beautiful girl was sitting under the tree. Her skin was paler than snow, and her eyes were lifeless.
[ Cheer up, Jean, you\'ve been like this for the past few hours.]
Vampy has tried to brighten the atmosphere for a while. From silly jokes and puns to some funny stories and school gossip,but Jean didn\'t respond and kept sitting under the tree, gazing at the blue sky.
" I\'m sorry for making you worried, Vampy. It was all my fault, if I were to be more careful, the event wouldn\'t need to happen, and you wouldn\'t need to take over my body. But… *Sigh* I just hope that he wouldn\'t be disgusted at me. I know it is impossible to befriend anymore, but it still hurt a bit thinking that he will be disgusted by me."
The beautiful girl was Jean Adiratna. Nobody knew what she was thinking when she ran away from the school infirmary to this abandoned building, but the sadness in her eyes was crystal clear.
" And who said that it is impossible to befriend anymore?"
Jean was too focused on her thought that she didn\'t notice someone had come behind the tree.
" I feel really sad, hearing that you didn\'t want to befriend me anymore."
Ray appeared from behind the tree, but contrary to his words, his face revealed a hearty smile that eclipse the blue sky\'s beauty.

Ray\'s appearance startled Jean, who was daydreaming. She remembered her words before, and her face turned red in embarrassment.
" I-I…"
" You don\'t need to say anything Jean, to me. We are still friends."
" Yeah, friend…"
[ Jean Adiratna\'s affection +15]
It was a simple sentence, but it has been so long since Jean felt this warm in her heart.
She looked at Ray gratefully. However, she knew that she needed to explain things to Ray. If not, there will be a rift in their friendship.
Jean took a deep breath and started to explain many things, from the accident with George to her ability to absorb other person vitality.
…
" That basically summarized all of it. Do you hate me now?"
Jean lowered her head, not daring to look in Ray\'s direction. She was glad that she could tell Ray everything, but she was also afraid that Ray hated her after listening to her story. After all, who wouldn\'t hate a bloodsucking girl like her.
" Well, that explains everything now, but Jean…"
Ray raised his tone a bit, and Jean, who has lowered her head, was ready to Dogeza and beg for an apology.
Ray came closer to Jean, and swiftly a flick came into Jean\'s forehead.
" You mustn\'t tell your secret to anyone you\'ve just met, you know. But I\'m glad you trust me enough to tell me this."
Ray rubbed Jean\'s head and pull the girl into his embrace.
" You\'ve been through a lot. Good job Jean, I\'m proud of you. I\'m glad you are safe."
Tears started to flow from Jean\'s eyes. Those words were the words she longed to hear. Not an insult and slander. And neither apology nor pity. It was just a simple word of praise and care, but this very sentence has been deep embedded into the heart of the villainess.
Nobody had dared to get close to her before but this man. He came to her when she was in her worst and pulled her up into a warm embrace.
\' If it is this man, I will gladly lay upon my life to him.\'
[ DING!!! Jean\'s affection +50]
The two stayed in that position for almost half an hour, and jean enjoyed the best 30 minutes in her life.
After Jean calmed down, Ray slowly released Jean from his embrace.
" Thanks, Ray."
" No worries, we are friends after all. But now, after you became a bit calmer, let\'s focus on how to solve your issues."
Ray shifted moved his focus on the vitality absorption issues. It might seem to only endanger other people, but on the other side, this also means that Jean\'s body no longer could handle vampire baroness power. If this were to continue, Jean\'s life might be in danger.
He tried his best to think of a solution, but Jean put her hand on his shoulder and shook her head.
" There\'s no need Ray."
" No, Jean, this might be harmful to you, and I wouldn\'t let it be."
" Emm, let me rephrase my sentence then. You have done enough, Ray."
Jean walks away a few steps from Ray, and her body started to shine. The Vampire baroness also appeared from behind her, and the bright light enveloped both Jean and the Vampire Baroness.
[ DING!!! Congratulations to the host for unlocking the hidden scenario. You are the light in my darkness.]
