"Uh, hey Zayd." Kari spoke out as she spammed the controller.
"Yes, Kari?" Zayd said, turning to look at Kari with questioning eyes.
"Well, I won't be able to visit you as often anymore." Zayd's body stiffened and became rigid.
His eyebrows furrowed as his face darkened, "Is that so? May I know the reason?"
"Yea, school is starting again. So annoying..." Kari mumbled with annoyance as she focused on the TV screen.
Zayd, however, was currently thinking.
'Should I just destroy the school? I mean, Kari won't mind right... Who knows who she's gonna meet there...' Zayd bit his bottom lip in uneasiness as he took a side glance at Kari.
Seeing her beautiful, side profile. Zayd slightly flushes and look away.
Silently, Zayd took out his phone and texted Sugo.
_____________💬_____________
Zayd: Sugo, Kari is going back to her school soon. I need solutions. Should I burn the school down?
Sugo: What!? No! What the heck Zayd! You will never get her like this if you burn her school down!
Zayd: Then what should you suggest I do?
Sugo: Enroll at her school as a student duh! Geez.
Zayd: Thanks
.
Sugo: No problem.
_______________💬_______________
Zayd kept his phone and took out his laptop, he started to type, bringing up the school's website.
He then took the entrance exam and filled out a form.
After all, that to register in Kari's school, he kept his phone and focused on looking at Kari.
A silly grin appeared on his face. He really was foolishly in love with her.

Kari bend down as she looked at Sazuki and Cyox. Looking into both of their eyes, she gave a gentle smile and ruffled her hair. "I'm going to have to go to school now. I will leave you here to stay with Henrik. Do you mind?"
Sazuki grinned and shook his head, along with Cyox who also did as well.
"Nope! We would love to stay here! Older sister, don't worry about us and focus on your studies Okay!" Kari smiled helplessly as she promised Sazuki so.
She then stood up, "Alright then, I have to go now. Remember, you can communicate with me on the phone I gave you. Stay safe, you two." She patted their heads.
"Don't worry! Henrik is so strong! He will definitely protect us if we're in danger."
Kari chuckled, "I see, I see. Well, I better get going now. See you." She then looks up to see Sugo and Henrik standing a few metres behind Sazuki and Cyox.
She waved at them and then waved her hand and a teleportation spell was cast and she disappeared into thin air.
...
Arriving at her dorm, Kari immediately got a call from Amelia who phoned her, telling her that they had arrived and were currently on their way to school.
Kari nodded and sent a reply back, indicating that she would be waiting for them at the spot where Amelia and she had found their spirit pets.
Amelia smiled as she look at Kari's text.
Squealing and squirming slightly as she hugged the phone. Damon cast helpless looks at his fiancee who was simping for another person.
Kari's charms are more effective than his...
Kari had also texted the other princes to check up on them and their replies seem rather weird. She didn't brush it off and informed them to follow Amelia when they got off the plane.
They nodded and listened to her instructions.
Kari then went into her space room, surprisingly she saw no one. She spotted a note on the living room table and realised that Shadi had taken the pets off to some vacation place.

Kari POV
~~~~~
I pursued my lips, well, I do trust Shadi. I'm positive they will be in good hands.
Walking to the kitchen and strapping my apron on, I started preparing some picnic food.
Once I was done, I then got a basket and stuff in the picnic blanket, the snacks and food and some carton drinks.
I checked the time and toss the basket into my space storage. I still had approximately about 2 hours left before their planes landed.
I decided to go on Netflix and watch Season 4 of Food Wars. It has been a while since I did so after all. I do hope Netlfix purchases Season 5 soon.
I'm desperate to watch it.
~2 hours later~
Getting up from the sofa, I stretched and cracked some joints in my body. Exiting my space room, I took out the basket from the storage and jump out of the window, landing on some roof tiles, I slowly off them and landed on the dirt ground with two feet.
-----
Kari proceeded to walk to the location where she had asked to meet up.
Arriving there, Kari saw no one and hurriedly began to set up the picnic. She laid out the blanket and got some recyclable paper plates and paper cups ready at the side, all stacked up.
Kari took out the Nintendo switch she had recently ordered from the internet and opened Animal Crossing as she waited for their arrival.
Soon, she heard chatters and footsteps, Kari put away my Nintendo Switch and then saw Amelia and the boys. Grinning, she waved at them.
"Heyy! How have you all been?"
"Great! How about you Kari?" Immediately, Amelia tackled me and Kari could see Damon sulking. Chuckling, she whispered into Amelia's ear. "How about you go accompany that lonely dear fiancee of yours?" Amelia blushed heavily at the word, Fiancee.
She nodded and meekly made her way over to Damon as she set on her knees and avoided Damon's intense stare.
Kari look away from them to see the boys who were acting rather different. Tilting her head, Kari asked curiously, "What's up? You all look rather conflicted."
Xlec sighed and shot Kari a troubled look," Something... happened."
She raised an eyebrow curiously, "Well? Aren't you going to elaborate or do you not feel comfortable in telling?"
Xlec hesitated before opening his mouth, "We three, just got fiancees.."
Blink. Blink.
Kari looked confusedly at them, "So? Aren't you princes? Did you not expect engagements? Besides, you don't even know them yet, don't judge them without even meeting them!"
They opened their mouth to refute only to close them back again when they realised what she said was true, correct.
Kari sighed, "I thought it was some intense drama or something. Anyways, when can I meet your fiancee?"
"Well, they're coming here tomorrow," Kain said.
"And they didn't come with you?"
"... Yea."
"Okay, I see."
Kain looks away uncomfortably.
The atmosphere was rather tense.
"Let's eat. This atmosphere is what I would not like to see when we met again after a few months."
Everyone agreed to her words and decided to forget what had happened before. Laying out the plates and food, they dug in and chatted with each other.
Updating on their current events. Everyone smiled and laughed and the atmosphere had turned cheerful.
...
"I can't believe you're my roommates," Kari said as she led the three, princes' fiancees to their respective rooms.
"You guys can go unpack first. I will meet you in the living room, yea? Then let's chat and get to know each other more!"
The girls nodded at her words and quickly went into their rooms.
Preparing some snacks and drinks on the table, Kari sat down on the sofa and wrapped herself with a blanket.
She waited for the girls to arrive and they soon did.
"So, what're your names? I'm Kari." She said, eyeing three of them.
As expected, the three girls were beauties.
The first girl, who was the fiancee of Xlec; Had raven, black hair. Amethyst eyes and she had a confident and elegant aura around her. Yona Ohia.
"Hello, my name is Yona. It's a pleasure to meet you." She greeted.
The second girl had brunette hair and emerald eyes with a hint of blue in them. She had a cheerful and shy aura around her. She is the fiancee of Kain. Megumi Jasmi.
"H-hello! I'm Megumi... It's nice to meet you all!"
The third girl had faded light blue hair, and cyan eyes. She had a serious and fierce aura. She was the fiancee of Arties as you know. Reina Katsuko.
"Hello."
Kari smiled as she greeted the girls warmly. "Let's have a chat, shall we?"
...
Kari noticed their uncomfortable and uneasy behaviour.
"Is something the matter?" She asked.
Megumi widened her eyes in fear and shake her head vigorously, "N-No!"
After that, she had also said in a hushed whisper to the other girls, "She isn't acting like Kari Dim Vol at all in the original game!"
Kari grinned, ah, it was rather unexpected to meet people who had also transmigrated/ reincarnated along with her.
"Did you guys die too?" She then asked. They all look at her in alarm when she asked that question.
"I didn't expect to meet people who had the same situation as me." She continued as she waved her hand and got her Nintendo Switch and started playing on it.
They look at her in shock when they understood what she was saying.
Yona covered her mouth with her hand, "You... are also from the original world. Am I correct?"
Kari put down her switch and clapped her hands.
"Congrats! You finally found out!"
Megumi started blinking rapidly before shakingly lifting up her finger and pointing at me, "Yo-You also..."
Kari chuckled and nodded, "Yup! Now, that we know about this. Let's talk about our past lives if you don't mind?"
Everyone kept silent so Kari took it as a yes.
Smiling, Kari started first, "I was an assassin in my past life. I died from getting struck by lighting. How about you?"
Megumi gasped at her profession, wow, it was like she's really a protagonist!
Yona went next, "I was a lawyer in my past life. I died because an admirer of mine went insane and stabbed me while I was walking back home." She rubbed at her waist, frowning.
Megumi played with her fingers, "Uhm, well... I was a bookstore employee... I died because of an earthquake and a whole bookshelf fell and crushed me." Scratching the back of her head with embarrassment.
"I was a police officer. Died in a bank robbery attack." Reina said next. Kari's mouth formed an 'o' at their interesting jobs.
"Cool! Would you mind telling me how it feels like to work as one of them?" With bright sparkling eyes, she asked them.
The corner of Yona's lips curled up. Giving a closed-eye smile, "Sure."
Megumi raised her hand eagerly, "I won't mind either!"
Reina kept silent before turning away with the tip of her ears red. "..."
"I would love to."
Kari grinned, cheering she immediately readied herself for a nice, good story of their jobs. She also snapped her fingers and several blankets and pillows appeared next to the girls.
"Storytelling time!"
