A Girl's Burning Heart

Acheron was standing there blankly, holding an empty test tube.

There were two broken test tubes on the ground.

"... Lord Acheron Quan?"

Kujou Sara tentatively spoke to Acheron.

Upon hearing the voice, Acheron turned to look at Kujou Sara, pursing her lips. "... Is there something you need, Sara?"

That's the question I wanted to ask.

Kujou Sara thought to herself.

However, the good news is that Acheron seems to be relatively normal.

"I just came to check on the ranch... What are you doing here?"

Kujou Sara cleverly acknowledged that they had come to the Acheron.

"And those Honkai Pheromones? You drank them?"

"... Hmm, a very strange potion."

Acheron nodded slightly, then reached out and touched his chest.

"It can evoke emotions... I feel like there's a fire burning in my chest right now."

"Is this what they call 'burning love'? This is the first time I've ever known that Miss Acheron has such a girlish heart."

Guinaifen muttered something under her breath behind Kujou Sara —and then Kujou Sara pinched her hand.

At a time like this, you still have the mind to talk nonsense. No wonder your thinking can keep up with Lord Liu Bai!

"If you're back, has Mr. [the Master] also returned?" Acheron then asked in a calm tone.

"No, Lord Liu Bai still has some matters to attend to." Sara shook her head directly.

Even if Liu Bai came back, she would still shake her head!

Although Acheron is behaving normally right now... between Acheron's normalcy and Liu Bai's words, Kujou Sara chose to believe Liu Bai.

This is something that could make Liu Bai lose his composure. Kujou Sara's advantage is that she doesn't get arrogant—being beaten because of stubbornness and being beaten because of arrogance, although the result is the same, the process is two different things, and in other people's eyes, they are also two different things.

"What business do you have with Lord Liu Bai? I can relay your message."

"..." Acheron stared at Kujou Sara and Kujou Sara Guinaifen behind her for a while before shaking his head.

"No, it's nothing."

It's just that my mind... can't calm down.

For Acheron, this feeling was very unfamiliar. She felt that... it was a kind of emotion that she had never had before.

When Acheron drank the first vial, she was just curious—her intuition told her that the potion was harmless, and she had seen Guinaifen take a vial of it when she came out before, not to mention that the Honkai zombie here also drink it every day.

Her physical attributes and special abilities could not possibly be weaker than those of Honkai zombie.

After the first bite, Acheron felt something "ignited" inside her, but in her mind it was just a warm little flame that might be extinguished at any moment.

—In fact, at this moment, Liu Bai had a chance to stop Acheron, since Acheron had a relatively low sensitivity to "unknown" emotions, not to mention that Acheron's sense of taste had not even fully recovered yet.

She felt that this might be because she needed emotional connection and wanted to understand things more in detail, so she drank a second tube.

After the second tube went down, the flame turned into a ball of fire, and Acheron was also analyzing this feeling—it took her a long time, and she gained nothing.

Aside from wanting to see Liu Bai.

She felt that Liu Bai might be able to answer her questions.

So, when Liu Bai returned home, Acheron finished comprehending the second tube and then drank the third tube. He was comprehending the "flame" of his heart when he was interrupted by Kujou Sara and Guinaifen.

"I'm going back now."

Acheron seemed to have lost the desire to continue talking with Kujou Sara and left.

"... It seems pretty normal?"

"Could you please come out from behind me?" Sara sighed.

Guinaifen, have you been using your courage in the wrong way?

She had the courage to take poison to steal a man, but she didn't dare face the Acheron?

"Ahem, sorry, sorry, after all, Miss Acheron is too terrifying from a certain perspective."

Guinaifen apologized repeatedly.

Kujou Sara sighed in response.

You can't possibly understand what terror is better than someone like me who was beaten down by Acheron and even witnessed Acheron drawing his sword.

"Little Gui, your mind is not firm enough."

"Hey—wait a minute, I'm just a street performer, so being mentally unstable doesn't seem like a big problem?"

"You... never mind."

Kujou Sara had actually heard about Guinaifen's heroic figure from Himeko and Seele.

Although Seele is kind-hearted, she is not someone who can be bullied by anyone—and even when she is weak, she will instinctively fight back when she is about to die.

According to Seele, she really thought she was going to die in that situation. In fact, according to Himeko, if Liu Bai had chosen to pursue them with Guinaifen at that time, one of them would most likely have died.

Is someone who can achieve such results on the battlefield now pretending to be cowardly?

I think you just want to sell me out...

However, Kujou Sara was an honest man, and he just sighed.

Fortunately, Acheron's behavior was indeed relatively normal—no, it should be said that he should have been abnormal but behaved normally, which is the biggest abnormality!

"Hmm... So should we call the Boss Liu back now?" Guinaifen asked Kujou Sara.

"Let's observe further," Sara calmly. "After all, Lord Acheron can be very dangerous if he becomes dangerous."

"Hiss... that makes sense. Sara, if Acheron really did 'that' to the Boss Liu, do you think Boss Liu pelvis would break first from sitting on it or from being crushed?"

"... Why ask this?" Sara wasn't very enthusiastic about Guinaifen's dirty jokes.

Aren't you even a little bit curious?

"I'm curious, but are you prepared to let it happen?"

Kujou Sara replied to Guinaifen and then turned and left.

"..."

Well, Kujou Sara was a bit boring, but her answer certainly got straight to the point.

They wouldn't let that happen—after all, even if Firefly did something bad, they could still control her.

If Acheron does something bad... he could beat them all down while riding Liu Bai.

We definitely need to continue observing Acheron.

Guinaifen decided to trust Kujou Sara's judgment.

"Miss Acheron, did you catch any interesting fish today?" Firefly greeted Acheron, who was coming upstairs with her.

"Without."

Acheron's tone was still indifferent, but after living under the same roof for so long, no one cared about Acheron's tone anymore.

At least the people in the Acheron are good people.

"That's a real pity." Firefly smiled, completely unconcerned.

Acheron nodded, and then walked into Liu Bai's room in front of Firefly.

"...Um?"

Still smiling, Firefly uttered a questioning interjection.

Now that the house number is written down, will Acheron still get lost?

"... As expected, we still can't let our guard down."

Guinaifen, who followed behind, was communicating quietly with Kujou Sara.

Even such a soft sound still attracted the Firefly's attention.

"... It's not Mr. Liu's." Acheron, who had just entered Liu Bai's room, quickly noticed something strange.

There are some things that feel out of place in this room.

Acheron glanced around before his gaze settled on the blanket.

"Miss Acheron!"

Suddenly, Firefly pushed open the door and entered.

"Is there something you need?" Acheron asked, looking at Firefly had suddenly entered.

"That skirt... I meant to say, isn't it a bit inappropriate for you, Qi, to just barge into Liu Bai's room like that? For example, regarding privacy?"

... Although Firefly has to admit that she is probably the one who is the least "respectful" of Bai's privacy.

"I don't rummage through things," Acheron said calmly. "However, it seems someone touched your things before I did."

"Huh? There's such a thing? It's really... um, how awful!"

Persuaded by Guinaifen and Kujou Sara, Firefly, who had come to stop Acheron, immediately became weak upon hearing this topic.

"They must have moved the blankets." Acheron glanced at the blankets.

"Is that so, Miss Acheron? Have you found out who did it?"

Firefly's expression grew increasingly stiff.

"Not yet... but it doesn't seem appropriate to leave these in your room, sir."

Acheron now feels that these things are in the way.

"Okay! I'll help you tidy up right away!"

Firefly volunteered to take on the task—mainly because she felt that if Acheron discovered that the item was related to her, something bad would happen.

And why did Acheron suddenly appear in Liu Bai's room today?

"After you've finished tidying up, bring back a set of bedding for Liu Bai from one of the other empty rooms."

"... Then I'll leave it to you, Firefly."

Acheron didn't actually have time to examine it carefully—besides, Acheron didn't know if Liu Bai himself knew about it.

However, Acheron would not refuse if someone was willing to help him now.

Chapter 150 A Burning Girl's Heart

Of course, Firefly was quick and efficient. She wouldn't gamble on whether Acheron could discover the problem, nor would she be so stubborn as to wonder what Acheron's reaction would be after he found out.

Well... after all, when it comes to smells, we see each other all the time—even though Firefly knows that Acheron's senses are very dull, and he can only vaguely taste the flavors of food.

What if Acheron took the blanket and asked someone else? Especially since she has two canines and Kujou Sara, whose name doesn't reveal anything, but seems to be a canine that can fly.

At the same time, Firefly realized that she had been tricked.

—Besides Liu Bai, is there anyone in this family who can persuade Acheron to stop doing anything?

Those two guys... no, it should be Little Gui's bad idea.

... But it's alright, at least she can clean up the mess.

Although it was only for one day, at least Liu Bai slept in this quilt for a day.

If we take it back... well, that would be considered sharing a bed, right?

Including last night, well, this probably counts as the second time we've shared a bed?

Although I feel like I'm acting weird... it's really exciting.

As she thought about it, Firefly quickly packed everything up and took it all out.
