Liu Bai Admitted That He Wasn't Quite Enough of a Pervert
"I already said it wasn't a date."
Liu Bai corrected, "As for the relationship... I can only say that the already delicate relationship has become even more delicate."
"Oh... so for some reason, your relationship suddenly went from bad to difficult, right?"
Elysia was surprisingly able to understand what was being said.
Previously, the person who could communicate with Liu Bai without any problems was actually Rita.
During their conversation, they barely exchanged a single word.
However, as for Elysia... it's more like Liu Bai can't keep up with Elysia's pace.
Do you need any help?
Elysia leaned closer again, her smiling gaze meeting Liu Bai's soft eyes.
Hmm... this kind of close-up kill is also unfair.
408
Chapter 408 Liu Bai admits that he wasn't perverted enough.
"Not at the moment... it's not necessary."
Liu Bai thought... instead of waiting for Sparkle to actually eat, should he eat Elysia first?
If we use double arrows to represent the relationship.
Liu Bai estimated that his favorability towards Elysia was around 70%.
... After all, apart from being a bit unconventional, Elysia is otherwise flawless.
As for the part about finding it annoying...
If someone makes a loud noise in public, Liu Bai will solemnly declare that such matters are not to be discussed.
However, if she rode on Liu Bai's back in the middle of the night, Liu Bai wouldn't say anything about it being indecent.
Therefore, Liu Bai is also a tsundere character (not really).
"Alright then, Liu Bai-qin, good luck winning over little Sparkle!"
Elysia enthusiastically encouraged Liu Bai, "If you encounter any trouble, just knock three times!"
"OK."
Although Liu Bai thought that Elysia might just want to have a party.
Elysia waved and went into the room, while Liu Bai remained at Elysia's door, resuming his contemplative state.
Wait another half hour. If they don't come in half an hour, I'll have Elysia for dinner.

"By the way, Peppy, are you having a falling out with your Boss Liu?"
Guinaifen nudged her companion, Pellervy, with her elbow.
"... Don't call me by that name."
Pellervy glared at Guinaifen.
Normally speaking... such a gaze is quite intimidating.
But one day, someone anonymously posted in the group, "Don't you guys think Pellervy's eyes look like mushrooms?"
And now... unless Pellervy Honkai energy to crush people, everyone who sees Pellervy glaring at someone will immediately think of mushrooms.
I can't feel scared at all.
... According to reliable sources, the person who posted this might be Liu Bai.
She really went to great lengths to bridge the gap between her "daughter" and others.
"Oh dear~ I'm just concerned about you, Peppy ~"
Guinaifen casually moved closer, then leaned on Pellervy's shoulder and whispered a few words in her ear.
"How... how did you know?"
Pellervy, like a cat with its fur standing on end, pushed Guinaifen away and looked as if she were facing a formidable enemy.
"Hmph~ Peppy, you don't want the Boss Liu to find out about this, do you? What if I whisper something to the Boss Liu about it someday..."
(Although I think the Boss Liu doesn't really care about this...)
Guinaifen's threat to Pellervy was simple.
—You don't want Liu Bai to know that you used a sickle handle in front of his door, do you?
Guinaifen was betting on Pellervy, who seemed aloof but was actually a bit yandere and had a "father complex," and whose impression of Liu Bai was shrouded in a "halo."
Well, isn't this a common scenario? A girl trapped in hell becomes fiercely loyal to the man who saved her, following him like a madwoman through fire and water...
"Gulp... Well... It's not that I'm still being difficult..."
Pellervy reluctantly began to speak.
She didn't want Liu Bai to think she was a female pervert.
... I did that kind of thing back then... it was just something I couldn't help myself with.
"Strictly speaking, it's that I haven't figured out how to face my father... no, Liu Bai."
"Don't you call him 'Father' anymore?"
Guinaifen looked at Pellervy with a hint of mockery.
"... After all, we have to consider that guy's feelings."
As soon as Guinaifen spoke, Pellervy in a dilemma: she couldn't call him "Father" or Liu Bai.
(... But men generally like this kind of play, right?)
Guinaifen, who had learned a lot during the standby period, thought to herself.
"Excuse me~ Do you guys know where Onii-chan is right now?"
A light and lively voice came from behind, interrupting their conversation.
Sparkle...
Pellervy around and squinted at the girl who greeted her.
She disliked women who looked cunning at first glance.
Especially... he shamelessly calls Liu Bai "Onii-chan".
"Ah... Boss Liu."
Guinaifen didn't have any hostility or prejudice towards Sparkle.
On the one hand, Guinaifen didn't really have a clear impression of the Masked Fool.
On the other hand... beating Firefly is enough! I can't lose to my sisters!
"Let me think... You've been to the Sparkle..."
Pellervy tugged at Guinaifen.
Sparkle looked at this scene with a smile on her face, "I've been to Onii-chan's room, but I only found crumpled paper in the wastebasket."
"A crumpled piece of paper..."
Pellervy's gaze was deep.
"Ahem, it must be scrap paper torn from a document."
Guinaifen felt that Pellervy and Firefly were girls from two different directions.
But they do have some things in common...
Yes, that's right~
Sparkle replied with a smile, "As expected of Guinaifen- neechan, she really knows Onii-chan well~"
Pellervy then realized that she had been tricked by Sparkle.
This guy...
After reminding Pellervy, Guinaifen continued, "If she's not in the room..."
"I heard La Signora. Furina say at the cafeteria counter that Father has returned."
Pellervy said coldly, "They probably went to someone else's room."
"I see~"
Sparkle's smile widened even more.
"Peppy, Sister Peipei!"
Sparkle skipped and hopped away.
... Although it looks like a little rabbit, it might actually be a hunter like a "headhunter rabbit".
Guinaifen was somewhat familiar with Sparkle 'Guinaifen temperament, so her expression showed a hint of confusion.
"... Is it really okay to tell her this?"
"Do you remember what Furina complaining about when we La Signora met La Signora?"
"Let me think... ' Clorinde, am I disliked?... Liu Bai won't even pretend to answer the phone...'"
Guinaifen perfectly mimicked Furina's dejected and frustrated tone.
Pellervy nodded. "Although I think... Liu Bai is lacking in many areas, he would never leave without a reason—except for one particular matter."
"... The Elixir of Love?"
Guinaifen belatedly realized what was happening.
At the same time, Guinaifen blushed a little at her own slowness.
Being lectured by a girl younger than herself made Guinaifen, who was always the older sister at home, feel a little embarrassed.
But in fact, Pellervy envied Guinaifen's slowness in this regard—in her view, this slowness was actually proof of intimacy.
"You think... the person who took the Elixir of Love might be Sparkle?"
With Pellervy the way, Guinaifen's thinking also unfolded in this direction.
"Yes, because Liu Bai can tell who has taken the Elixir of Love, right?"
Pellervy her arms.
If it weren't for this, Pellervy already gone and made her own Elixir of Love.
—Although still young, Pellervy's all-around abilities have already begun to show.
She... still wanted to try her best to attract Liu Bai's attention.
"Wait a minute, wouldn't that be very dangerous?"
Guinaifen thought about it again and realized that something was wrong.
You want someone who's taken the Elixir of Love to see Liu Bai?
Isn't this just setting things up for trouble?
"Father... Liu Bai has come back on his own initiative. Obviously, this means he is not prepared to fight passively... Father can handle that brat."
...Really?
As Liu Bai's wife, Guinaifen had some doubts about his resistance in this regard.
"This is..."
After lingering for a while, Pellervy, who had caught up with Sparkle, looked at the scene before her with a livid expression.
Why did things turn out this way?
Pellervy at the scene before her, her face turning ashen.
