Your Art Style Is All Wrong! (Continued)

Wait a minute, Little Gui, think back, what happened back then...

It seemed that Ying, dressed in that formal suit, pushed open the door and asked Liu Bai which room he was in.

Hmm... it seems like there's no problem except for the timing?

Starting to prepare breakfast for nearly ten people at four o'clock seems quite reasonable.

Gui Lingnai Mengfen's family also has more than a dozen younger brothers and sisters. She has a general understanding of how busy this kind of thing is.

As for breakfast time... some people eat breakfast between six and eight o'clock without any problem, and if they're feeling lazy, nine o'clock is fine too.

What if Ying is the kind of person who eats breakfast at six or seven o'clock? After all, lazy people don't get up at four o'clock or even put on formal attire.

But...

"Was Miss Ying carrying a knife when she came to ask for directions?"

Guinaifen was a little hesitant—after all, she was clearly not thinking clearly at that time.

I have a vague recollection of the knife, but I can't be sure—after all, there's really no reason for Shadow to be carrying a knife.

Is the younger sister planning to kill her older sister and seize power? Is that why she wants to kill Liu Bai, who is a doctor?

Wait a minute, if he really looked half-dead, he could have just been smothered with a blanket and that would have been the end of it. Why would he want to kill his own Boss Liu?

"... Hmm, it really was a dream?"

It seems to be full of illogical statements.

But... it really doesn't feel like a dream!

Slap! Slap!

"Don't think about it so much, Little Gui. Why don't you go out and see for yourself?"

Guinaifen patted her face.

Afterwards, Guinaifen left the room without even changing her clothes, still wearing her pajamas.

"Good morning, Miss Gui."

"Good morning, Ms. Kujou."

As soon as she opened the door, Guinaifen saw Kujou Sara in front of her.

"You've come to see your general?"

"Hmm." Sara nodded. "The Shogun has woken up... but did you see where Lady Kage went? She's not here... um, sorry."

Seemingly thinking of Guinaifen Naofumi, Kujou Sara gave an apologetic smile.

"..."

Has this person really disappeared?

Guinaifen felt an inexplicable sense of unease growing stronger.

"Perhaps Lady Ying went out to meditate and encountered something that upset her. Lady Ying often does this. I'll go out and look for her."

"Well... have a safe journey?"

"This isn't a long trip."

Kujou Sara was somewhat puzzled.

"By the way, could you please ask Miss Gui to call Liu Bai? He doesn't seem to be up yet, and Lord Kitsune Saiguu has been waiting outside. He must be getting impatient."

Since we are all outsiders, it seems a bit excessive to wake people up so early in the morning.

"... Miss Kitsune Saiguu?"

Guinaifen revealed a slightly subtle expression.

Well... from the perspective of a street performer, Guinaifen felt that this guy didn't seem to be an honest person.

So Guinaifen simply said it directly.

"Is Lord Kitsune Saiguu someone who can stay idle?"

"This..."

Kujou Sara looked speechless.

"After all, it's for the Shogun's health."

If it were for the sake of his own the Shogun, Kitsune Saiguu should be able to control his temper, right?

"..."

Sorry, even Kujou Sara herself doesn't believe that.

"If that's the case, Lord Kitsune Saiguu is always standing there, which might be in the way of others."

Although Kujou Sara also felt that Kitsune Saiguu was usually a bit unreliable, she couldn't say that in front of Guinaifen.

We still need to be more tactful.

"I'll go and take Lord Kitsune Saiguu away... If Liu Bai can't get up, Lord Kitsune Saiguu can help make breakfast."

Although it has no therapeutic effect, it can at least fill your stomach.

The reason for asking Kitsune Saiguu for help was simply because Kitsune Saiguu had the best cooking skills. If we didn't care about cooking skills, she could have rolled up her sleeves and done it herself.

Liu Bai takes care of lunch and dinner, while they are responsible for breakfast; they can actually accept this arrangement.

"Hey, hey, hey, can you guys stop talking badly about other people?"

Kitsune Saiguu, leaning against the innermost wall, looked displeased.

I'm right here!

Who was bothered?

"... Ah, Miss Kitsune Saiguu."

Guinaifen was immediately embarrassed; she hadn't really realized what had happened.

Having just woken up, her mind was already foggy, and with the shadows still lingering, Guinaifen's thoughts were in complete disarray.

"Good morning?"

"Good morning."

Kitsune Saiguu crossed his arms, and the displeasure on his face instantly turned into a smile.

"Now that you're awake, Miss Gui, could you please knock on the door? It would be a bit presumptuous of me to knock."

"Sure?"

Guinaifen's tone carried a hint of doubt.

—This person's smile doesn't seem like that of a good person!

But since things have come to this, we have no choice but to bite the bullet and go for it.

Anyway, this was my original goal.

Knock knock~

"Boss Liu ~ Are you awake yet~!"

Knock knock!

"She's awake! She's awake!"

The answer was full of morning grumpiness.

It was obvious that he had just woken up.

However, just as Guinaifen finished her judgment, Liu Bai's powerful voice, which resounded throughout the entire floor, rang out in the room.

"Holy crap—! What the hell is going on here!?"

"??" Guinaifen had just thought she could breathe a sigh of relief, immediately became anxious again.

But before Guinaifen's brain could give any instructions, Guinaifen was knocked away.

"—Mr. Liu Bai! I've come to save you!!"

Bang--!

Huh...?

Guinaifen looked at the figure that had smashed the door open.

Firefly?

Firefly's delicate figure stood before Liu Bai's door as if a hero had descended.

Then...

"... Mr. Liu Bai?"

The Firefly was the first to emit a sound that was a mixture of confusion, bewilderment, indignation, and fear.

"This is...?"

"I don't know either!"

Liu Bai stared in a daze at the smooth female body sitting on the ground beside his bed.

The other person's clothes were neatly folded in front of their forehead, which was in close contact with the floor, forming a square block, comparable to a quilt in a military camp, and weighed down with a precious sword.

The wood chips and debris from the door that the Firefly had knocked open landed on his smooth body, but they did not shake his fully prostrate posture in the slightest.

"... Miss Ying?"

Firefly recognized the other person immediately.

However, Shadow did not respond to Firefly's calls at all.

"Kage-sama!?"

"As expected..."

Kujou Sara's expression was one of pure panic, unlike Firefly's.

Guinaifen had an expression that said, "I didn't expect this."

"Mmm..."

Then the fox behind him wore a smug smile.

"Um... Miss Ying, what are you doing here?"

The Firefly smiled and bent down to help the shadow up.

To do such a thing in Liu Bai's room... How despicable...

However, it couldn't be lifted.

The other person's posture of bowing deeply was very steady.

"Miss Sara, could you come and lend a hand?"

"...it's useless."

After her initial panic, Kujou Sara quickly calmed down.

Seeing Raiden Ei's indifferent attitude towards the outside world's discussions and the debris falling on her, she already understood.

"This is the steadfast state that allows Master Ying to maintain a meditative posture for several days while being bombarded by a waterfall."

Enduring the impact of a waterfall is not difficult, but the real challenge lies in not being able to withstand it for days without food or water without wavering.

Kujou Sara greatly admired this quality of a warrior.

But this patience and focus...

Why would it be used in such a place?!

For the first time in her Kujou Sara felt an overwhelming urge to make sarcastic remarks.

"This is too cunning... it's outrageous!" Firefly exclaimed indignantly.

Entering a men's room and brazenly stripping naked—where is your shame?!

"Liu Bai! You weren't frightened, were you?"
