Burn It, Then

Serenitea Pot, enthusiastic applause erupted from below.

However...

Both Guinaifen and Firefly now have a "(??? )" expression.

"It's because of that, Firefly."

"... It's obvious."

They were clearly tempted by things like the red-light district!

Indeed, it seems that eliminating external threats is more important than internal strife right now!

"Lord Liu Bai, you made the right choice! In that case, how about changing Sara's solo striptease show into a striptease party?"

"Hmm... that's not a good idea."

Come on, let's go through the process of three refusal and three concessions.

We're all adults, so it's okay to be a little hypocritical.

"That's right! Lord Kitsune Saiguu! You're not allowed to make a joke that's not funny a second time! Nobody's interested in any striptease party!"

"I don't care," said Miyuki Chiyo, who was petting a cat.

Miyuki Chiyo did not resist showing her body to the men she liked.

"Ah, you don't need to. You're too small for our group, you'd be an eyesore." Kitsune Saiguu waved his hand.

"...?"

Miyuki Chiyo's expression stiffened.

No, I can't get angry... Getting angry now would be a trap.

"...Then I'll also vote against it." Miyuki Chiyo revealed a slightly cruel smile.

Before Kujou Sara could agree, Miyuki Chiyo continued.

"How about the two of us, wearing loincloths, wrestle in front of Lord Liu Bai that day?"

Do you like breast enhancement?

I'll use physical means to make your breasts two sizes bigger!

Kujou Sara, who had originally intended to agree, immediately shut up upon hearing this.

Can't the older generation do something that people can actually do?

... Especially Kujou Sara actually knows a bit of sumo wrestling skills.

Yae Miko looked distressed, while Kamisato Ayaka and Sakura were trembling.

"Sumo wrestling... Sara?" Kage thoughtfully found himself an opponent.

"I refuse—and Lord Liu Bai, please don't look so tempted!"

"..."

This isn't just women fighting, it's women fighting shirtless, and they're all beautiful women.

Ah, I can't think of a reason to refuse.

"Ahem, just to interrupt everyone's wonderful daydreams."

Guinaifen cleared her throat and spoke.

These bastards... They were all so high and mighty when they first arrived, but in less than a month, they've stopped pretending altogether, haven't they!

"However, Boss Liu, I don't think Dr. Mobius will let her beloved lab rat go."

"That's right, and Liu Bai, you've received so much help from Dr. Mobius ... You wouldn't just irresponsibly walk away like this, would you?"

Firefly and Guinaifen were arguing a few days ago, but now they're working together—after all, if they keep fighting amongst themselves, Liu Bai will really be kidnapped!

Didn't their eyes light up when they heard we were going to the Far East?

It was clearly an expression that said, "Once we get to the Far East, I can do whatever I want with Liu Bai."

"Miss Xueyi! You think so too, don't you!"

"Um...?"

Xueyi, who was in the middle of exchanging information with the Herrscher of Dominion about the dolls, belatedly turned around.

"... I second that."

Ah... this feels so perfunctory.

It really only took three days for them to go astray!

When she first arrived, she was such a serious and earnest judge!

You didn't even hear what we were saying! What kind of discussion is this?!

Did you have the same attitude when you worked at Ten-Lords Commission before?

No, it seems we can't rely on Xueyi. She's a very business-oriented person—and the puppets might not even be interested in matters of love.

As for the others... Cocoilia seems to be in cahoots with Inazuma.

Acheron...

To be honest, Guinaifen now also suspects that Acheron stole the food, but she just doesn't have any evidence.

Asking this person for help feels even more inappropriate, and even if I did ask, they probably wouldn't make any significant statement...

Guinaifen was struggling with her decision, but Miyuki Chiyo and Kitsune Saiguu quickly calmed down.

No, we have to bring Liu Bai back to Inazuma no matter what.

Yes, one trip is enough.

It's so convenient to do things on your own turf!

But if it were inside the Serenitea Pot... the balanced atmosphere inside the pot would be difficult to disrupt, and they wouldn't be able to do anything about it.

Kitsune Saiguu had the idea of turning the Serenitea Pot into a brothel, but it was not easy to implement.

Even putting feelings aside, it's impossible to force them, since Liu Bai can throw them out anytime—not to mention that the main person Kitsune Saiguu wants to match them up is Raiden Makoto.

But once outside... Liu Bai can't just come back anytime, anywhere.

Kitsune Saiguu will teach Liu Bai what it means to be "a person in the martial world, whose fate is not his own."

However, if someone breaks the "balanced atmosphere" in the Serenitea Pot, then the Serenitea Pot can be used as a sex den.

Yeah, you only need three days to learn bad habits.

Once you get used to Liu Bai's ways, everyone's thinking will slip along with hers, which is perfectly fine—after all, they're shameless.

If you're worried about disturbing unrelated people like Xueyi, you can build another dedicated floor, or even a separate villa next to it.

The Serenitea Pot is far from being filled to capacity. Let alone creating a dedicated floor or courtyard, even just enclosing two plots of land on the lawn and planting a large group of shrubs would be enough to create an artificial battlefield.

If we can't find Liu Bai at night, we'll all search the bushes together...

However, while we can dream about the future, our main task now is to persuade Liu Bai, otherwise it will all just be wishful thinking.

"Dr. Mobius is a reasonable person, and I believe she will not refuse your offer."

"... If all else fails, why not just invite Dr. Mobius over as well?"

Miyuki Chiyo was clearly more direct in this regard than Kitsune Saiguu.

Since Mobius has no fighting ability anyway, if she really gets in the way, they'll just tie Mobius to the side and let her watch the fight from there.

"Hmm... Chiyo's idea is worth considering."

After thinking about it, it seems that Miyuki Chiyo's idea is the most reliable.

After all, Mobius's desire for dominance has always been quite subtle.

To say she's not as good as Natasha... she pays close attention to every little thing happening around Liu Bai, but if you say she's more controlling than Natasha, she left Liu Bai to Natasha to raise on her own—well, maybe even Mobius didn't expect Natasha to control him.

In any case, we need to show Mobius the right attitude and not let her feel that she is being ignored.

If he hadn't been notified, Liu Bai would have found it infuriating if he had put himself in Liu Bai's shoes.

So all that's left to do is find a reason to get Mobius to come out.

Should they go for a trip to relax? Or should they be more tactful and use scientific research exchanges... Well, I have to admit, personally, Liu Bai also really wants to invite Mobius out.

After all, I've been receiving a lot of care these days.

In addition, Mobius has been very busy lately, and from a friend's perspective, Liu Bai also hopes that Mobius can take a rest.

Although they didn't have much contact, Liu Bai felt that there was a subtle tacit understanding between him and Mobius.

"Mr. Liu, Liu Bai!"

Seeing that Liu Bai was about to be persuaded, Firefly quickly spoke up again.

"Um... instead of asking for an invitation, shouldn't we first get the Fu Xuan you reserved from the Gacha Machine?"

Chapter 162 It's better to burn it.

Fu... Fu Xuan.

Liu Bai felt a little guilty when he heard Firefly mention this.

After all... there's no Fu Xuan, only Kafka.

"Gacha pulls... I don't have enough resources yet."

Although Firefly didn't say it explicitly, Liu Bai felt that if Kafka were actually summoned, Firefly might be quite troubled—of course, this was not a reason to change the character.

It is precisely because Firefly suffer that there is a need to summon them.

Furthermore, Kafka's abilities are not weak either.

It balances XP and practicality.

Change? Change the hammer.

However, at this point, you need to clear yourself of any wrongdoing.

"And on the other hand, it's not like you'll definitely get it just because you smoke it."

For example, I originally wanted to draw Fu Xuan, but I drew the wrong one... I don't care how I ended up with another limited one, since Firefly can't see the system explanation anyway.

Liu Bai reserves the right of final interpretation.

What we need to do now is to subtly give Firefly a heads-up.

"Then we should collect those gashapon coins even more!" Firefly seemed to have found a new topic, her voice rising slightly.

In short, she absolutely had to do everything in her power to delay Liu Bai's trip to Inazuma —even though she knew what home-field advantage meant!

No, it's precisely because it's her that she knows what home-field advantage means!

Love is war!

Betting one's integrity... Ah, it seems unnecessary to be so serious... At least there's no need to be so determined at this time.

And... it's also very embarrassing.

In short, home advantage is very important!

... Although the Firefly could not find any advantage in the Serenitea Pot.

No, and upon closer reflection, I realized that I had never had any advantages in relationships before.

"Let's focus on expanding our combat strength for now! By the way, Liu Bai, how do we obtain gacha coins?"

"Hmm... fighting powerful enemies or something?"

Upon hearing this, Kitsune Saiguu and Miyuki Chiyo showed thoughtful expressions.

Firefly was taken aback for a moment, but then she understood.

No wonder Liu Bai is so keen on sparring... but it seems only winning the first time is useful?

After all, they all knew that the number of gacha coins had not increased, and considering that the last time they drew cards was right after Kamisato Ayaka and Kujou Sara, they easily came to this conclusion.

And... it seems aliens won't work?
