You Can't Reason with a Yandere (Continued)

A crude but successful calculation.

"There always needs to be a purpose in doing things..."

At this point Asta was already 80% convinced.

"Why did Elysia have to stir things up..."

Asta leaned back slightly, wanting to lean on him.

Then, Asta bumped into the screen.

--screen!

"... Looking at it this way, it really is her."

To do something like this just to damage the screen, well, that's definitely Elysia's style.

Feixiao's drunkenness isn't actually that dangerous; he's mostly just acting crazy in his head—but it only works on people who can run and buildings that are at least made of stone.

The screen... Feixiao probably could just lift it up and it would open.

We have to stop her!

Asta immediately got up and prepared to go to the mixed bath.

However... Pellervy seemed nonchalant, suddenly stood in front of Asta.

"... Peppy? You?"

"I am not an accomplice," Pellervy spoke first, "But I am happy to see it happen."

"... Then why are you telling me all this?"

The sudden oppressive aura emanating from Pellervy caused Asta to take two steps back, as if facing a formidable enemy.

Fighting naked in a hot spring... that doesn't seem like her profession at all.

"I want to see your expression... after all, you're 'Father's' secretary."

"Ugh... it feels so distorted." Asta assumed an awkward fighting stance. "Jealousy?"

"No, I know very well that both you and Rita are more capable than me," Pellervy admitted. "It's just that your attitude makes me very unhappy."

He followed his father around every day... Liu Bai, yet he always wore an expression that said, "I am the only one who is sober while everyone else is drunk."

It's disgusting.

"... It's even more distorted now," Asta remarked.

At this moment, the others also saw the two confronting each other, but because they were confused and there was also a "quiet" Feixiao watching them intently, no one in the crowd stepped in to stop them.

"This level of distortion is just too desperate for love!"

"Indeed," Pellervy admitted frankly once again.

... His honesty frightened Asta.

"Ah... there's no need to admit it so quickly."

Asta moved back again.

Confronting a yandere is too dangerous!

"Don't worry, I have no intention of targeting you right now, after all, I've already made up my mind..."

Pellervy rubbed her wrist.

"You don't want to stop this either, do you?"

"... I feel like I'm trapped in a weird cycle of yandere talking to herself." Asta, who didn't know how to communicate with Pellervy, could only complain.

But the next moment, Asta's smile vanished.

With Pellervy the hot spring water in front of Feixiao to suddenly begin to swirl.

The next second, the hot spring water burst into a series of crackling sounds.

"...?"

A hint of fighting spirit appeared in Feixiao's dazed eyes.

"... You shouldn't have come."

Who shouldn't have come?!

"... I mean, can someone explain what's going on here?"

Liu Bai held Firefly in his arms and looked at the group of disheveled girls in front of him.

"Could you please put Miss Firefly down before you listen to my explanation?"

Asta looked at Firefly was already sticking out her tongue, and began to complain.

"You can't give up halfway through something, Asta." Bai Yizheng said sternly.

"... Then why don't you let the two people next to you go first? You look like a tyrant indulging in debauchery right now."

"This immortal wouldn't mind being a demon concubine for a while..."

Xianyun whispered something in Liu Bai's ear, clearly trying to seduce him.

"Master, that's vulgar." Shenhe spoke coldly and sharply—if one ignored the fact that this person was now acting the same way as Xianyun.

"... That's true."

After Liu Bai patted them once, he got rid of the two of them.

Then, he made Firefly roll her eyes back and exhaust herself completely, and handed Firefly over to Kafka next to her.

Kafka skillfully began massaging her daughter's abdomen and cleaning her internal organs.

"... BOSS, what is that blue thread tied to your finger?" Asta continued to scrutinize Liu Bai, and then noticed another problem. "Or rather, what is it tied to?"

"Ah, this..." The index finger with the blue thread tied to it moved quickly. Suddenly, Yelan slipped into the water and began to writhe in discomfort.

"... You don't need to demonstrate for me!"

Asta is going crazy.

"Untie it now!"

"This is Yelan wrapped herself around my hand, it wasn't my intention... alright."

Liu Bai ripped the life-binding Lifeline Threads from his fingers.

"Wait a minute, let me tug a few more times~!" Yelan was still acting coquettishly.

However, everyone's eyes are now on Yelan.

Sure.

You bastard, you're really good at this. No wonder Ningguang doesn't like you.

The color of the Lifeline Threads is barely visible in the water unless you look closely, so no one would bother to look closely at that time.

Everyone else is queuing up, and you're secretly having fun, huh?

"Guards! Beat her up!"

Miyuki Chiyo addressed the crowd.

"Alright, can you tell me now?"

"... I don't want to talk about it anymore."

Asta a quiet complaint.

It was already embarrassing enough to force Liu Bai to be completely honest with him, and now Liu Bai is pulling this stunt.

Anyway... Elysia has already achieved her goal.

Asta glanced at Elysia, who was joining in the fun and besieging Yelan.

Never mind.

There's no point in saying anything now.

"I'm leaving. Have fun, BOSS." Asta turned her head away, not wanting to look at Liu Bai even once, and left, clutching her body.

"Hmm... Rita, isn't this a normal reaction?"

"I guess she's the kind of girl who's 'very calm and collected'?"

The conversation between Liu Bai and Rita caused Asta to suddenly stumble.

"Sister, let's go out too." Hanya didn't seem to dislike Liu Bai.

She is the judge who processes all kinds of information, essentially a human computer or a "wet component".

It wouldn't hurt to take a second look; it's nothing compared to gratitude. Hanya even quickly evaluated Liu Bai in his mind.

Going out was simply because the occasion was inappropriate and the experience was disappointing.

"Then, then I'll..."

"Pela, why don't you stay and keep me company?"

"Great, Supreme Guardian?" Pela looked panicked.

Although Liu Bai holds a high position and is the benefactor of the planet, she is not ready to sacrifice herself!

She, she...

"I... I'm still young..."

In order to save herself, Pela had to admit the thing she least wanted to admit.

"What are you thinking? It's not like you have to go up here. Most of the time, it's about learning from experience."

Cocoilia's words were a bit strange, but they were the truth.

For example, this group of people from the Taixu Sword School, such as the shy Fu Hua Chaoyu, the curious Su Yi Sushang, and the disgruntled Shi Bao, are here to study at Zhuo Ai University.

There are also people like her, Jade, and Topaz who are interested but think it's not the right time—though Jade does have the idea of broadening the horizons of her juniors.

"Gurgle..." Pela helplessly.

"Then... this humble general will also take his leave."

Feixiao, who had been pushed into the water by Acheron and regained consciousness, was now blushing red—he was both ashamed and embarrassed.

"Let's go, let's go."

Liu Bai wasn't some kind of pervert. He was already uncomfortable with a group of people staring at him while he waited in line, and now with another group of people around, he was even more uncomfortable.

Liu Bai had just realized that she might be being treated like an animal by these people—even though they would become part of that animal world soon.

After Liu Bai spoke, Beidou withdrew the foot that had been secretly kicking Yelan and ran away.

In the end, only two Peppy, Pela and Pellervy, remained in the women's bath.

"By the way, Kafka, why is Bronya bullying Seele?"

Taking advantage of a brief moment of free time, Liu Bai asked Kafka about Bronya and Seele in the corner.

It's never a bad idea to ask Kafka about interpersonal issues.

"Because someone's mentality collapsed."

Kafka wasn't surprised.

"A protective older sister goes to great lengths and suffers a lot to protect her younger sister who doesn't need protection, only to find that her sister doesn't care about her protection at all, which leads to her turning to the dark side... Hmm, what a very interesting sisterly drama. It's a pity I didn't notice it; I should have made it even more interesting."

For example, saying something like "sisters falling together".

"It feels like you're thinking of some really cheesy ways to play."

Illusion Moon floated out and said "Kafka".

Kafka didn't want to discuss it with Illusion Moon.

"Illusion Moon, why are you still wearing clothes?"

Liu Bai asked provocatively.

"... Do you really want to provoke me so much?" Illusion Moon's expression froze.
