Guuji Yae's Terrible Idea Sales Pitch (Part 2)

It was concise and to the point, and clearly conveyed the intention that "I don't want to continue the conversation."

... Are you really okay?

Liu Bai returned to his room, somewhat bewildered.

As soon as Liu Bai changed into his pajamas and lay down, he noticed something was wrong.

This blanket doesn't seem to belong to me.

No, even the pajamas seem a bit strange.

This isn't like when Liu Bai first moved here. After living here for so long, Liu Bai has developed a habitual feeling about his blankets and everything else.

Um...

Liu Bai checked and found that the blankets and pajamas were very clean and even had a faint fragrance.

Okay, it's not a problem for pretty girls to smell a little sweet— Liu Bai even suspected that all the Thunderfly Brute smelled sweet—in fact, the Thunderfly Brute were indeed the most obviously sweet.

Who did this?

The blankets, sheets, pillowcases, and pajamas were all changed for him.

Hmm... although it seems like they've all been replaced with pretty girls.

In a sense, this isn't a loss?

—But it's scary!

If you can change the sheets and blankets today, can you change the toothbrush and cup tomorrow, and then move yourself into her room the day after tomorrow?

Everyone has so many mass-produced items sold by Xiao Ai in their rooms! It's just that most of the time they're in their own rooms, so it's impossible to mix them up.

But if you're aiming to use these things in a haphazard, forceful way...

This is absolutely a shocking case involving the Serenitea Pot!

In an instant, Liu Bai thought of Xueyi, who had looked like she wanted to say something but couldn't.

Maybe she knows something?

Liu Bai realized that the only thing that seemed to be related to the evidence was Xueyi.

Liu Bai got out of bed and went out again. Xueyi was about to go back to her room, Sara had finished tidying up the tableware and was going upstairs.

"Xueyi, wait a moment."

Liu Bai called out to Xueyi.

"What are your orders?" Xueyi's expression remained blank, completely at odds with the slightly respectful tone she used.

"... Did you see something?"

Liu Bai walked halfway around from the side and came to Xueyi's side.

"For example, coming in and out of me..."

"Hmm? Good evening, Liu Bai, you're still awake?"

Before Liu Bai could finish speaking, the door next to him opened, and Kitsune Saiguu, dressed in a thin nightgown, smiled at Liu Bai.

"What brings you here?" This place is mainly for those who arrived later, such as Inazuma and the others, as well as Cocoilia and Xueyi.

Although they appear to be divided into sections, they are actually all on the same floor.

There is a sense of alienation, but since we see each other all the time, this sense of alienation becomes a sense of "distance".

For example, Xueyi's room is relatively far from Inazuma and the others.

"You haven't slept either... I want to talk to Xueyi."

At another time, Liu Bai wouldn't mind chatting with Kitsune Saiguu, but for now, it's better to leave it at that.

"You mean to ask about the bedding in the room, right?"

Kitsune Saiguu's smiling words startled Liu Bai.

You know?

"Uh-huh..."

The source of Little Gui and Firefly's argument... Anyway, since Kitsune Saiguu had nothing better to do, he naturally paid special attention to this matter.

Do you have a suspect in mind?

Instead of revealing the answer, Kitsune Saiguu asked a question in return.

These words made Liu Bai fall into deep thought.

"..."

The suspect... You know, people who are capable of doing this kind of thing are usually either yandere or extreme.

Um...

"Doesn't seem like it?"

Perhaps... it's Firefly?

Ever since she called out to me while lying on the bed last time, she's been avoiding me for the past few days, and her innate level of affection for me is the highest.

It's... quite suspicious.

But Firefly shouldn't metamorphose, right?

—Although there wasn't actually anyone in this family who wore their perversion on their sleeve.

At most, they're just troublemakers like Kitsune Saiguu, people who like to stir up trouble and have fun.

"Hmm~ So what are you going to do if you find a clue?"

Kitsune Saiguu continued to press for answers.

This question made Liu Bai continue to ponder.

... If it really is Firefly, no, even if it is Firefly, going there would just be like a lamb entering a tiger's den.

If you push them too far, they'll probably pin them to the bed and squeeze them dry!

And what punishment could I possibly impose on them?

Once Liu Bai realized this, he suddenly understood why Xueyi had hesitated to speak—because it would be pointless to say anything, and would only cause more trouble.

"See, that's the problem. So what you need now is not 'who did it,' but 'how to prevent the same thing from happening again.'"

Kitsune Saiguu's white downy ears twitched playfully, and a confident expression appeared on its face.

"Oh, I'll think about it when I get back. Goodnight." Bai nodded, then turned and left.

"Lord Liu Bai ~~"

As expected, Kitsune Saiguu grabbed Liu Bai's arm.

"You really have no sense of romance! Before you stands the foremost strategist of Inazuma! The beautiful and wise Kitsune Saiguu!"

Knock knock.

A knocking sound came from the wall next to the Kitsune Saiguu.

Next door... is Miyuki Chiyo.

Yes, one historical reason why Kitsune Saiguu wore a mask was that she lost a beauty contest to Miyuki Chiyo.

"Alright, alright, Kitsune Saiguu, who possesses both wisdom and a great figure." Kitsune Saiguu puffed out his chest and pursed his lips.

Then the knocking from next door got even louder.

If the building weren't indestructible, Liu Bai would have suspected that Miyuki Chiyo might have punched through the wall and then grabbed Kitsune Saiguu by the tail and given Kitsune Saiguu a good beating.

"Ignore that guy next door— Liu Bai, are you really not going to listen to my advice?"

"Generally speaking, people who say this are preparing to sell their bad ideas."

Liu Bai's expression, as if to say "we don't know each other," left Kitsune Saiguu speechless.

"You're such an unromantic man!"

[Kitsune Saiguu's Favorability: 4244]

Kitsune Saiguu seems to be in a pretty good mood.

"If you won't listen, I'll have to offer advice to someone else... I think she'll be very interested in my plan?"

"Alright, let me hear your terrible idea." Bai wasn't intimidated by Kitsune Saiguu's suggestion, but instead crossed his arms and showed a curious expression.

"What do you mean by a bad idea?" Kitsune Saiguu covered his face and chuckled. "Since you're too weak to be easily taken advantage of, let's find a bodyguard who can protect you—or at least buy you some time, for example..."

"The Acheron?"

"Ah, I meant Shadow."

Kitsune Saiguu's smile twitched slightly as he corrected her.

"Don't you think the beast within Miss Acheron is slowly awakening?"

"..."

Liu Bai thought about it for a moment and felt that there seemed to be some truth to it.

Ever since Acheron fed Liu Bai half a peach last time, Acheron has started asking Liu Bai what kind of food he wants to eat.

Even when meeting others in the morning, the faint nod has become a nod with a barely perceptible smile.

Just like what Acheron said to Liu Bai during their last night's chat, she didn't stop in the void, so what reason would she have to stop outside of the void?

Acheron has officially begun to change his mindset and accept this world.

"If Ying crosses the line, Miss Acheron can stop her. But if Miss Acheron crosses the line... we can only condemn Miss Acheron."

Hey, you bastard, stop peddling anxiety here.

"So what do you think? So how about considering Ei? My Ei is a well-behaved girl, she won't get into your bed or bother you, you just need to give her some space to meditate in the room."

"... I think it's all nonsense, and couldn't she have stayed outside the door?"

"What about the little Sara?" Kitsune Saiguu pointed to the Kujou Sara at the top of the stairs.

Kujou Sara: "..."

Has she finally been implicated?

It was because she sensed that the conversation between Liu Bai and Kitsune Saiguu had become strange that Kujou Sara chose to stay at the top of the stairs instead of going over to pass.

So how did this end up involving her?

—Although Kujou Sara wasn't surprised that it was Kitsune Saiguu who started the conversation.

After all, it is the Kitsune Saiguu.

"Don't let Sara- chan's taciturn and serious demeanor fool you, you've probably noticed that Sara- chan is a very family-oriented girl."

"Eh? Kitsune Saiguu?"

Kitsune Saiguu's words caused Kujou Sara to slip and nearly fall down the stairs.

Liu Bai nodded... He couldn't deny that.

But...

Are you sure this is to protect me?

Your words clearly sound like a brothel owner trying to sell her own girls.

"Yin Qun is another matter, y lacquer, and wife can/attach private dance...)... um jiu, left (three right four door god) four, you long eight look at the other one, is it Ying or Ayaka?"

"You can rest now!"

Liu Bai rolled his eyes at Kitsune Saiguu. Although he knew Kitsune Saiguu was promoting a bad idea, the idea turned out to be even worse than he had imagined.

However, Kitsune Saiguu himself didn't seem to care about it.

How can you get away with something like this without being a little shameless?

To put it bluntly, this isn't something that requires a rational decision—it's not an important matter.

After rolling his eyes, Liu Bai said goodnight to the group.

Well, since the investigation here is pointless, he might as well go back to sleep.
