Your Art Style Is All Wrong!
"Mmm~~~"
That evening, Guinaifen stretched out a big yawn as soon as she returned to the pot, and then greeted the newcomers around her.
"The house has suddenly become lively. By the way, did the Boss Liu arrange rooms for you?"
"Not yet." Sara and Guinaifen were relatively more familiar with each other.
"Then I'll make the arrangements for you."
Guinaifen took on this responsibility without hesitation, asking, "How about the rooms on the south side?"
"South?" Sara glanced at the surroundings.
To the south is opposite the general's room.
The rooms, including Liu Bai's, are all on the north side, connected to the first floor in the middle, so you can jump directly to the first floor. Therefore, the south side is completely the other side—although it's not difficult to get there.
"Can't we just stay here?"
As a very large house, there are quite a few rooms on the north side, which is why Kujou Sara asked this question.
"Hmm... it's not impossible, it's just that Miss Acheron... might get lost at any time."
"Lost?" Sara was taken aback by this reason. "Would Miss Acheron get lost?"
"Um..."
But this is clearly not the legitimate reason.
The real reason is that Firefly might do something perverted at any time!
Previously, there were only four people at most, and it wasn't easy for Firefly to be discovered. Now, excluding Raiden Makoto, who can't move around freely, there are five more people!
Who knows, there might be even more people here in the future!
Although my actions may be somewhat "aiding and abetting," it's still better than airing my dirty laundry in public, right?
Kujou Sara was clearly not convinced by this reason.
If you said Liu Bai would get lost, she might consider it, since she knows that men and women shouldn't touch each other.
But what's the big deal about getting lost in Acheron underworld?
So what if I'm confused? It's not like I can't explain myself.
"... Is that really the reason?"
"Real."
Guinaifen tried her best to appear normal. "If all else fails, Miss Kujou, why don't you stay next to the general in your house, and the rest of you go south?"
"...OK."
Although she still had some doubts, Kujou Sara knew that she was a guest and there was no need to be too concerned about accommodations.
"However, Lord Kage can stay here."
"Anything is fine."
Guinaifen nodded repeatedly, these were all minor issues.
"I'll go and tidy up your rooms right away."
The next day
Early morning.
"An unfamiliar ceiling..."
Ying opened her eyes, then turned her head to look at the clock on the bedside table.
Four o'clock.
It seems that her routine was not disrupted by the new environment.
As a martial artist, she was used to this kind of routine.
It feels like a lot of things happened all at once yesterday.
Ying slowly sat up in bed, took off the pajamas that Miss Gui had prepared for her, and changed into the same "general's uniform" that was exactly the same as her sister's.
Why did my sister say so much to me yesterday?
As Ying pondered, she sat in front of the mirror and awkwardly braided her hair.
My sister... doesn't she have the confidence that she can get through this?
She vaguely figured out what her sister was thinking—after all, they were sisters.
Is it because you're worried about yourself that you're learning how to get along with others?
... Ying had to admit that her sister truly understood her.
The very first task—apologizing to Liu Bai —stumped her.
Even though I know where I went wrong, I can't seem to naturally join in the conversation.
Ying pursed her lips, feeling somewhat frustrated by her own incompetence.
Fortunately, Kitsune Saiguu gave her some suggestions yesterday.
"Shadow, you must know that you can never become like your sister."
—But that doesn't mean you're inferior to your sister in every way.
"You are the 'Shadow,' but you also have advantages that your sister can't even come close to."
"Clumsiness isn't necessarily a flaw, especially when combined with your initiative..."
—"Why not try a clumsy way to apologize?"
"You don't want this to affect Liu Bai's attitude towards genuine treatment, do you?"
"... A clumsy method?"
Ying looked at herself in the mirror and murmured to herself.
After tidying himself up, Ying picked up the long knife on the table and went out.
There was no one in the corridor at this time.
Sara didn't wake up either...
Ying, carrying a knife, walked slowly down the corridor.
... Speaking of which, where was Liu Bai's room again?
Suddenly remembering this incident, Ying paused in his actions.
"..."
I really am an idiot.
Since that's the case, we'll have to resort to the brute force method.
If I remember correctly, those people all live here, right?
Ying turned her head to look at the recessed "alley".
Since things have come to this, we can only open the doors one by one to take a look.
Turning the corner, Ying pushed open the door beside her.
Empty.
Another door.
Empty.
Empty.
Null...
"Um... Miss Huang, uh, Miss Ying?"
Seemingly hearing the door open, Guinaifen groggily tried to open her eyes from the bed.
Although it was still blurry, I could barely make out who it was.
"Huh... Is something the matter?"
"... Excuse me, may I ask where Liu Bai's room is?"
"Boss Liu? 207..."
"...grateful."
Ying gently closed the door.
207...
"Hmm... why ask these questions so early in the morning?"
Guinaifen glanced at the time in a daze.
It's only four o'clock... so early in the morning.
Miss Ying got up way too early.
Guinaifen pulled the covers over her head and went back to sleep. The peaceful atmosphere here was perfect for Guinaifen to sleep until she woke up naturally.
Etc--!
Just as she closed her eyes, Guinaifen suddenly woke up with a start.
Was that Miss Ying just now?
She asked...
The Boss Liu's room?
Around 4 a. m., when it was just getting light, she asked the Boss Liu where the room was and what he was doing.
Startled, Guinaifen threw off the covers, sat up abruptly, and glanced at the time.
"...?"
Wait a mininute?
The time currently displayed on the clock is...
6:52
Huh? Was that all a dream?
Chapter 104 Your art style is off!
What's going on... It seems I'm getting a bit neurotic from the Firefly.
Besides, no matter what, dreaming about Miss Ying going to see the Boss Liu is just too absurd.
It's completely nonsensical. If you dreamed of the Acheron or Miss Sara coming to your door, then it would be somewhat explainable.
Even if she's a pervert, this kind of development on the very first day is inexplicable!
It's something that simply can't be explained.
Little Gui, why have you become so sensitive?
Guinaifen patted her chest and pulled the blanket over her head.
Anyway, starting today, she won't have to cook at home, so it won't hurt for her to be lazy a little longer.
—Yeah, right!
Guinaifen suddenly threw off the covers and got up again.
It's precisely because the story is so absurd that it can't be a dream!
What normal person would have such a dream!
Damn it!
It's likely that Ying really did knock on the door around four o'clock.
