(Heartfelt thanks to Youxia Max for the 1,888 reward, and to Hai Dao Zhi Xin, Yume no Shouyou, Lei Xiang, and Shattered Starry Sky for their rewards!)
"Haah..."
As Wu Yan walked out of Xiao Zhu's room and closed the door behind him, he let out a weary sigh and rubbed his aching brow.
In order to secure a place for Yekusaya and Yuzuru to stay, he had spent a full thirty minutes thoroughly brainwashing Xiao Zhu just now!
Of course, this so-called brainwashing did not mean that Wu Yan had directly invaded Xiao Zhu's mind with a spell capable of controlling her spirit. It was simply the power of his glib tongue.
He had sweet-talked the naturally pure, kind, and innocent Xiao Zhu until her head was spinning, then casually brought up the matter while she was still dazed and had her nod in agreement without thinking...
That was roughly how it had gone...
After first spending an entire day amid Tohka, Yekusaya, and Yuzuru's arguments, then enduring an hour that felt like years as the three Spirit girls used curious, innocent eyes to ask about "how to enter the adult world," and finally talking nonsense with Xiao Zhu here for another half hour...
Wu Yan was already completely exhausted...
"I should've just used mental intrusion magic from the start..." Wu Yan gave a bitter smile.
"Though I do feel a little sorry for Xiao Zhu..."
Leaving those words behind, Wu Yan sighed gloomily once more and trudged toward his room.
No matter what, he had at least secured lodging rights for Yekusaya and Yuzuru. He would not have to throw them outside or have them sleep in the same bed as him in his room. That was something worth celebrating.
As for regrets, Wu Yan truly had none...
