Evan had just reached the bottom of the teaching building. He saw a somewhat familiar, yet unfamiliar figure in the crowd, waiting for him.

Many students rushed into the teaching building with the sound of the morning class bell.

But.

The girl wearing a somewhat loose pure white school uniform had tied her messy brown-gray curly long hair behind her head—but there were still many strands falling in front of her face, making it difficult to see her features.

Aphrotenis stood not far in front of him, seemingly smiling sweetly and waving at him.

Then, Evan heard the girl’s pleasant and light voice.

“Evan, do you still remember Aphrotenis?”

“Huh?”

“Don’t remember? We used to play together often when we were little~”

“???”

Evan thought, what kind of trick is this girl playing? But with the girl’s words, he actually did recall, in his mind, when he was little, when he was assigned to Alexia’s side to be her knight and learn various knowledge.

There was always a young and thin little Aphrotenis with messy brown-gray curly hair, wearing a white dress, who followed him and Alexia...

“Evan often studies with Miss Alexia, he’s really amazing.”

“Aphrotenis doesn’t understand anything, well...”

“Does Evan dislike a clumsy Aphrotenis?”

“But, Aphrotenis will work hard, work hard to keep up with Miss Alexia... and Evan, then, everyone will always always be together...”

Distant memories suddenly surged from the depths of his heart. Evan twitched the corner of his mouth, as if the little loli Aphrotenis in the white dress was right in front of him.

“Evan, you’re not allowed to forget, forget Aphrotenis’s name, you must always always remember it forever.”

“...”

The “ding-a-ling-a-ling” of the class bell suddenly pulled Evan out of his memories.

The Aphrotenis in front of him still smiled sweetly—although he couldn’t completely see her face hidden by her curly hair.

It was only now that Evan realized. Aphrotenis’s long hair before was casually left loose behind her head, making her look somewhat like Sadako, with most of her face covered by her long hair. But now, when she tied her long hair into a ponytail, the brown-gray curly hair in front of her face still covered her features, neither more nor less.

This probably wasn’t due to her hairstyle; it was likely just how she looked as an evil god.

“Let’s go, Evan, it’s time for class~”

Aphrotenis suddenly took his hand and pulled him all the way into the classroom.

Then.

She actually sat down next to him, becoming his deskmate. Evan even heard the surrounding classmates, seeing him and Aphrotenis walk into the classroom together, letting out small sounds of envy.

“Childhood friends have such a good relationship...”

“Two people who grew up together, both got into Seven Gods Academy, and are even in the same class. Isn’t that too lucky?”

“Hmm, Evan and Aphrotenis are so sweet!”

Shipping everything will only harm you, alright!!

Evan, feeling inwardly panicked at this moment, looked at Aphrotenis, who was sitting next to him as his deskmate, thinking, what the heck is this girl?!

Why, overnight, had she changed from the old-fashioned homebody girl she was before, to his childhood friend?!!

???

He didn’t even feel like paying attention in class anymore. When the first morning class ended, Evan hurried to the restroom. Seeing that Aphrotenis finally didn’t follow him.

He took out his phone. After thinking for a moment, he finally sent a message to Alexia.

His chat interface with the woman was still on the message she sent him yesterday, congratulating him on getting first place in the practice test.

Evan hadn’t replied to Alexia yesterday. But that wasn’t important now.

After a little thought, Evan finally sent Alexia a new message, somewhat hesitantly.

【Evan: Alexia, do you still remember Aphrotenis?】

Thinking that the woman would probably take a long time to reply, Evan washed his hands briefly, wiped his face, and prepared to go back to the classroom.

But unexpectedly, Alexia replied instantly this time.

【Alexia: Aphrotenis? Yes, I remember. Wasn’t she the girl you often played with when you were little?】

【Alexia: I remember she also got into Seven Gods Academy and is in the same class as you.】

“???”

Looking at Alexia’s reply, Evan was completely stunned.

Because.

Scrolling up the chat interface between the two of them at this moment, Evan could still see that over a month ago, he had sent Alexia a message asking if she knew who “Aphrotenis” was.

At that time, Alexia replied:

【Not familiar at all.】

And.

【After you get into the academy, you should study hard and stop looking at all sorts of messy books that are completely useless for your studies and grades!!】

“...”

Silence.

What Evan immediately thought was that there shouldn’t be anything wrong with Alexia herself. The source of everything was this girl, Aphrotenis. As an ancient evil god, it wasn’t strange for her to do all sorts of weird things, so was this situation normal?

However...

Was this Aphrotenis’s ability?

Evan carefully recalled, and indeed, in his distant childhood memories, he could find a blurry figure of Aphrotenis. But his memory as a transmigrator clearly told him that all of this was fake, that it was impossible.

So, was Aphrotenis’s ability to add a false memory to others?

Or to disrupt people’s perception?

This...

Isn’t this hypnosis?!!

He took a deep breath.

Erotic game, hypnosis, girl evil god.

When these keywords were combined, what Evan could think of suddenly became a bit difficult to say. Ancient evil gods were indeed very dangerous, and terrifyingly powerful!

Evan pursed his lips. He thought, it’s a good thing Aphrotenis has probably lost all her followers now, her power is very small, and what she can do is very limited.

And... she seems to be not very smart?

After all, with such a powerful ability, why bother with some domestic drama, pretending to be his childhood friend?

But thinking about it, it was quite normal.

Because according to the game setting, at least the three ancient evil gods Alexia had faced were all guys with abnormal minds. So, as fellow evil gods, it would be strange if Aphrotenis’s mind was normal.

After all, they were all considered the seven evil gods of the Ancient Era, opponents of equal standing. Otherwise, there wouldn’t be seven evil gods, there should just be one.

Phew.

Evan shook his head and decided to wait and see for now.

As a result.

As soon as he returned to the classroom and sat down, he saw this girl Aphrotenis, his deskmate, deliberately lying on the desk, turning her head, and looking straight at him.

“Evan~”

The girl’s face was almost completely hidden by her long hair, but vaguely, he could still faintly see the slender, tender white skin peeking out from between the strands.

And, a pair of pink eyes, completely heart-shaped.

“Aphrotenis still has a lot to tell you, why did you run off all of a sudden? Hmph!”

“...”
