Dark certainly wouldn't be fooled by it. He looked at Sylveon through narrowed eyes and said in a low voice, "Get up."

"Mi~" Sylveon wriggled its butt.

Dark snorted. "One flower."

Sylveon: "Mi?"

Dark: "Two flowers."

Its ears shot up in an instant, its ribbon-like feelers reflexively stretching taut.

Anyone with half a brain would know it wasn't a reward, so it could only be a punishment!

Sylveon was always running out of little red flowers. The ones it got from painstakingly doing homework everyday had to be exchanged for Miltank's milk bottles, and its stock just kept decreasing. It had long been enshrouded in a halo of poverty.

Each little red flower that was deducted was like a hard blow to its heart, a soul-crushing heartache.

But Dark just kept going on mercilessly, "Three flowers."

Sylveon was still stuck in a dilemma.

Dark: "Four flowers."

Sylveon: "Mi!"

It hastily stood up with panicked eyes, cautiously reaching out its two feelers to curl around its master's wrist.

It was begging for mercy~

"I'll deduct ten flowers." Dark coldly snorted, put down his school bag, and turned around. "Come with me."

"Mi!(Didn't you say it's four flowers? Why did it suddenly become ten!)" Sylveon's heart was breaking apart, its face crumbling with misery.

But in order not to get its little red flowers deducted until it reached a negative number, Sylveon could only bow its head and follow Dark out of room 201.

Coming out of the room meant leaving [Wonderland]'s effect range.

Sylveon could clearly feel its body becoming less agile. However, thanks to magical spirits' inherently superior fundamental strength, it didn't take long for it to get used to it.

……

Ten minutes later, Sylveon was brought to Saint Marian's canteen kitchen.

Dark stood behind it with crossed arms and a stern expression across his face.

Sylveon crouched on the floor and pressed its two front paws together, repeatedly bowing to the halfling chef, begging for help with a miserable look.

The halfling chef looked at this animated magical spirit with a face full of kindness, subconsciously recalling the bat familiar spirit that didn't show up this morning.

She kindly said, "Okay, I'll go make you guys a pot of special sobering soup."

Dark nudged Sylveon's butt with his foot to remind her, "Where's your thanks to auntie."

"Mi!" Sylveon hurriedly bowed its head once more.

The halfling chef went to prepare the soup with a light smile on her face.

After she left, Dark leaned against the wall so as not to disturb the other halfling chefs.

Sylveon gingerly approached him, then climbed on and firmly squeezed her face onto his legs.

Sylveon tried to beg for forgiveness again.

……

"If you make a mistake, you have to pay the price. You'll only be able to gain awareness after you learn from the pain."

There was a trace of coldness in Dark's gaze as he ignored Sylveon's affectionate snuggling.

All the halfling chefs who passed them by curiously looked at this pair of pet and master, but after knowing about what actually happened, most of them looked at Sylveon with indulgent eyes.

It was obvious that they were the type of 'doting mother who spoiled her child astray'.

Dark himself was also 'a failure produced by excessive pampering', so he was particularly prudent about this matter.

Just like the time Devimon misbehaved after evolving from DemiDevimon—although what it did was excusable, Dark couldn't let it go uncorrected.

Sylveon committed this mistake fully knowing that it was wrong, so it was even more necessary to educate it.

Even though each magical spirit was very powerful, they were mentally young and very immature.

As their master, Dark's behavior would be a tremendous influence on the way they shape their minds.

The more obvious cases were in fact DemiDevimon and Gatomon.

DemiDevimon was originally an extremely deceitful and scheming inferior demon whose mouth was full of lies. Yet now, it only occasionally spouted boastful words, becoming as honest as a child.

Well, it was indeed still a child.

As for Gatomon, it was as if its pride and diligence had been passed down directly from Dark.

He could only hope that this incident would be enough to teach Sylveon a lesson.

Next time, regardless of how much it wanted to act up, it shouldn't do such a stupid thing!

……

A quarter of an hour later, Dark received a pot of special sobering soup from the halfling chef.

He had given this thing to Professor Lily before, and it worked pretty well.

In addition, the magical spirits weren't too drunk, so it shouldn't take too long for them to sober up.

Along the way back with Sylveon, Dark gradually noticed that more and more students had gathered outside the castle.

The students were gliding on top of the frozen lake like a group of swans, and everywhere around the lakeside, people were building snowmen and having snowball fights. Everyone was having a great time.

His mood gradually calmed down. In fact, he wasn't actually angry, he was only doing it for show~

When they returned to the dorm, Dark handed over the task of feeding everyone the sobering soup to Sylveon. After that, he sat at the study desk and picked out a book to slowly read.

This afternoon, he wanted to enjoy life to the fullest.

……

It took another half an hour for the magical spirits to finally sober up one by one.

Sylveon, the chief culprit, was driven into a corner, the shadow of revenge slowly encroaching on her.

When he saw that Sylveon was about to perform [Sylveon·miserable], Dark couldn't help amusedly saying, "Alright now, everyone go get ready. At around two o'clock, I'll take you out to see the snow."

As soon as they heard this, the magical spirits instantly stopped what they were doing. Their ears perked up as they looked at him, urgently trying to confirm whether they had heard it correctly.

Dark slowly told them again, "You can bring some snacks and milk, just treat it as the last winter outing for the season… although it's actually already spring. But remember to clean up your trash before returning, we should show good manners as visitors, understand?"

"Moo!"

"Fweet!

"Awoo!"

The magical spirits who were cornering Sylveon dispersed at once, excitedly fetching their own small bags and frantically stuffing snacks into them.

Of course, there was also a magical spirit who decided to bring a drawing board like Shuckle. Dark had given it to Shuckle after noticing its talent for drawing.

Meanwhile, Gatomon flickered its ears and started choosing some picture books that were suitable to be read in the snow scape from its collection of books. It had gradually acquired a literary character.

DemiDevimon was the first to take out its scarf and hat, putting them on even when they were still inside the dorm.

Although the other magical spirits didn't have hats, they all followed suit by carefully wrapping their scarves around themselves.
