The Dishonest Asta and Eden on the Attack (Continued)

"Let's see the panties."

"..."

Asta turned her head and glanced at Tingyun.

The message conveyed was very clear—"Let's watch the game, Yi. This strange man is completely unreasonable when things get tough."

"I'm asking a very serious question!"

"I'm answering very seriously... After thinking it over, it seems like the only thing we didn't do today was that you didn't show me your panties."

What are you saying?!

Kiana reached out and pinched Liu Bai.

... This guy really knows how to seduce other women— Asta watched this scene with a forced smile.

"You're really beyond saving."

"Even if it's hopeless, it doesn't mean you can deny that you didn't show me this today. According to our agreement, if you hadn't shown it to me... Ah, what a coincidence, the time is exactly 11:57."

"... Gurgle."

Asta's fair face flushed red, and she reluctantly lifted the hem of her skirt.

"Oh... pink lace, Asta's taste is getting more and more sophisticated."

"Nobody wants to hear your opinions! If you're going to watch something, watch it in a normal, unremarkable way!"

Asta lowered the hem of her skirt and rebuked loudly.

It is clear that Asta is now at a red temperature.

"Forget it! I don't care anymore! Whatever I forget is none of my business!"

"So... I'm looking forward to your results tomorrow?"

"Guh... Tingyun! Let's go!"

Asta turned and left angrily.

"Hey, did you make someone angry?" Kiana scratched her head. "You're even better at making people angry than I am."

"Really? I feel like Asta might not be that angry."

Liu Bai stroked his chin.

"If Asta were really angry, she wouldn't be wearing pink lace today."

"... What does what someone is wearing today have to do with being angry now?"

"Kiana, you're still young. You'll understand when you grow up."

"... Very well, now you've made me angry."

"See! I told you asking that guy was completely useless!"

Asta angrily complained to Tingyun beside her.

"Who cares what he forgot! I'm never going to care again!"

"Hmm... Lord Liu Bai is indeed going a bit too far."

(But could this really be the feeling that Miss Asta forgot?)

Tingyun pondered with a mixture of amusement and exasperation.

Although it's not nice to say it like this, she felt that Asta was obviously a little more relaxed now.

... A businessman's intuition.

"This is more than just a little excessive! Would a normal person let a random girl show him her panties every day? It's utterly absurd! Hopeless!"

"... Then why not just state your objections explicitly?"

Tingyun made the suggestion.

Although she felt that Asta was just being difficult, there was no need for her to keep acting like this.

"Hmm... I strongly object."

Asta hesitated for a moment.

"... Okay, actually Liu Bai didn't have no reason for me to show him my panties..."

"Hmm? There's a backstory?" Tingyun was even more curious.

"The fact that the uniform is now a maid outfit... is probably related to me." Asta's tone gradually softened.

"Hmm... I see. Then the mistake might really be serious."

—Yeah, right.

Tingyun felt that Asta was just finding a reason to keep showing Liu Bai her panties.

It was still a businessman's intuition.

"If that's the case, then there's nothing we can do."

"... So decisive."

Asta always felt that Tingyun's gaze was a little strange.

The gentle swaying of its tail seemed to carry a hint of pleasure.

"After all, it was your own decision." Tingyun said with a polite smile, making a double entendre. "So, are you still going to take me to familiarize myself with the business?"

"... No, never mind, it's so late already, let's just rest."

"Sister, are you hiding something from me?"

"No."

Xueyi, who was cooking a late-night snack, immediately denied her sister's question.

"Why do you ask that, little sister?"

"I feel like my sister has changed."

The Hanya's expression was indifferent.

"Perhaps it's the life of the Ten-Lords Commission that has changed us."

Xueyi shook her head and brought the cooked midnight snack to the table.

"It's been a long time since I've cooked. Little sister, please have a taste."

"...Um."

Hanya stared blankly at the food Xueyi had given him.

Did the Ten-Lords Commission change them...? That certainly is the case.

This mortal world no longer seemed to be Prison of Deep Seclusion for her.

"Let's get used to the world again, little sister," Xueyi said. "I'll take you to rehabilitation again tomorrow."

The most urgent task is to free my sister from her role as judge.

However, Hanya's condition should be much better than hers. At least when they were on the Xianzhou, both of them had free time, and Hanya would happily drag her around.

"... Sister, you've changed so much."

The Hanya was very sensitive to the changes in its sister.

For example, the self-proclaimed "I" is no longer the "I" with a sense of "keep away from strangers", but a very ordinary "I".

Although he had no expression, he was clearly closer to others.

"Because of Lord Liu Bai?"

"... Maybe."

Xueyi was taken aback, but did not deny it.

"Hanya, what do you think of Lord Liu Bai...?"

I shouldn't have asked that.

Xueyi's words were tinged with a hint of regret as soon as they left her mouth.

Her sudden statement seemed rather odd.

"Lord Liu Bai... he must be a very good person."

After a moment's thought, the Hanya offered its own idea.

She genuinely felt nothing about Liu Bai having women on both sides.

"... So it seems I haven't thanked Lord Liu Bai in person yet."

"... I have thanked you on your behalf."

"?"

The Hanya was about to nod when it suddenly realized that something seemed amiss.

"I"?

Why did my sister suddenly become a little nervous?

The Hanya quietly began to eat its midnight snack.

"It was delicious."

"It's good that it suits my taste." Xueyi breathed a slight sigh of relief.

"So, before tomorrow's rehabilitation, may I thank Lord Liu Bai in person again?"

"This... is acceptable."

Sure enough, her sister seemed inexplicably nervous when she mentioned Lord Liu Bai.

Why...?

The Hanya pondered in its heart.

Was it just her sister's change, or was Liu Bai also involved?

... It feels like it's all inextricably linked to Lord Liu Bai.

"Okay, it's a deal."

Knock knock knock.

"Who?"

"It is I, Eden."

"...?"

Liu Bai glanced at the time.

At this time, Eden came to knock on the door... Hmm, something's not quite right, is it?

"... Please come in?"

Why are you so hesitant to say "please come in"?

Wearing his pajamas, Eden forcefully pushed open the door.

"What, you really don't want to see your girlfriend?"

"... I just lay down, didn't I?" Bai Wuyan said.

"Really? Ling, lift the blanket and let me see if there's a vixen under your blanket drinking someone else's boyfriend's things."

"Hey... can't you tell if someone's been sleeping just by how much the blanket is puffed up?"

"Oh, that's hard to say."

Eden was like a demanding girlfriend.
