I Won't Live Long Enough to Make It Back / Just Bash Them to Death with a Shield

Mash's expression was calm, but her behavior clearly showed that she was angry.

The children were all very clever; they immediately knew what had happened and guessed that Yuxian must have angered Mash.

They disloyally followed Mash away, ignoring Yuxian's attempts to signal them to Yuxian on his side.

Yuxian pursed his lips helplessly. What a bunch of heartless bastards! I've been so good to you, and you don't even speak up for me. Instead, you're ostracizing me.

The children didn't care what Yuxian thought; they knew perfectly well what to do and had no difficulty in making a choice.

If we're talking about who's more important to them, Yuxian or Mash, then Yuxian is definitely the one.

But if you ask Yuxian and Mash whose side they would take if they argued, they would choose Mash without hesitation.

Don't ask why, the answer is that Yuxian's family status is too low, probably only slightly higher than that of Osakabehime.

Yuxian sighed and looked dejected, inwardly blaming himself for being so easily captivated by Tamamo no Mae's figure; he should have firmly rejected her then and there.

But in that situation, can you really refuse? Can you? Can't you?

This is truly a problem of the century.

Chapter 33, Section 404: I won't live to see the time when I go back.

Playing at the beach in summer is truly fun, and everyone had a great time.

Only Yuxian wasn't happy; he was depressed, but he ignored him.

That night, everyone stayed at a hotel by the sea. This time, Vignette really spent a lot of money; she's probably the kind of person who can't save money even if she has it.

During dinner, everyone was talking about all sorts of things, Yuxian really wanted to join in.

He was isolated. Every time he spoke, the others would turn away and talk about other things, leaving him to eat in silence.

Fortunately, this is a restaurant, so he won't go hungry.

He once again felt the unshakeable position of Mash in the family.

"Let's go to the beach and test our courage in a little while!" Satania suggested.

She wandered around during the day and found a secluded beach and a grove of trees, perfect for playing this game at night.

It was a very quiet place, Satania immediately thought of it, deciding to go there with everyone after dinner.

"Great, great!" Raphael was the first to agree to Satania's proposal.

Satania was completely unaware of Raphael's thoughts and even gave her an approving look.

Others also expressed their desire to participate in the activity. "Let's split into pairs, how about that?"

"I'll team up with Satania!" Raphael immediately raised her hand to indicate that she wanted to team up with Satania.

She would never miss such a fun opportunity. Countless plans had already flashed through her mind, and she was just waiting to put them into action later.

The others then began to form groups.

Yuxian said to Little Jack, "Jack, how about we be a team?"

Little Jack looked troubled. "But... Alice said she was going to be in a group with Jack..."

"Jeanne-chan..."

"I want to be in a group with Abby, otherwise she'll be scared!" Little Jeanne immediately declared that she wanted to be with Abby.

Needless to say, Illya and Kuro were already secretly plotting how to prank the others.

Gabriel and Osakabehime didn't want to go, but Vignette forced them to participate, so they naturally ended up in a group.

Yuxian looked at Mash expectantly.

Mash turned to Vignette and said, "Vignette, let's be a team."

"Okay!" Vignette agreed happily.

So now only Tamamo no Mae hasn't formed a team yet.

Yuxian over, Tamamo no Mae- Mae gazing at him expectantly.

Headache.

This is just adding fuel to the fire!

Sure enough, Mash put down the bowl and left.

The grove of trees isn't far away; it's a short walk away.

It's indeed very quiet here. People might come here during the day, but it's pitch black at night, so most people wouldn't come here looking for thrills.

It means that someone as reckless as Satania was interested in this kind of game and even got everyone's approval.

Yuxian and Tamamo no Mae walked into the woods, and the faint moonlight that had been there was suddenly blocked by the shade of the trees, and the light was completely lost.

"Master, Little Tamamo is scared..."

Tamamo no Mae grabbed Yuxian's arm, and the soft touch made Yuxian's heart flutter.

"Stop it!" Yuxian thought to himself, what are you afraid of? At least make it look convincing.

Yuxian reached out and pushed Tamamo no Mae, but because there was no light, his hand pushed where he shouldn't have.

Tamamo no Mae; instead, she leaned forward, making her contact with Yuxian even closer.

Yuxian hurriedly withdrew his hand, saying repeatedly, "I didn't mean to, I didn't mean to."

Tamamo no Mae Little Tamamo with a smile, "Master, I know what you're thinking!"

She very proactively pinned Yuxian against the tree next to her, lowering her head to his ear; their posture was quite ambiguous.

"Now it's just the two of us, you can do whatever you want, no one will find out."

Yuxian looked bewildered in the darkness, but Tamamo no Mae pressed him tightly against the tree, her body almost entirely against his, leaving him no room to maneuver.

Snap!

A beam of light from a flashlight shone on the two of them.

"Oh dear! Jack, close your eyes right now, you're going blind!" Gretel held a flashlight in one hand and covered Jack's eyes with the other.

Jack, completely oblivious, scrutinized Yuxian and Tamamo no Mae.

"What is Mom playing? Jack wants to play too!"

Gretel quickly pulled Jack away, saying, "You can't look, you can't talk, this is an adult game, children can't learn it!"

"Why? Jack wants to play too!"

"No!"

"Does Alice know? Tell Jack quickly, Jack wants to know too."

As Jack and Gretel's voices faded into the distance, Yuxian sighed and said, "I don't think I'll live to see the time when we get back..."

"Don't say that! Mash isn't as scary as Master imagines!"

After being disturbed by Jack and Gretel, Tamamo no Mae had Yuxian. She seemed very relaxed and showed no embarrassment at being caught.

Yuxian couldn't help but roll her eyes. Of course you don't think it's scary, but I do!

He hurriedly chased after Jack and Gretel in the direction they had left. He had to keep a secret from those two little ones; this matter absolutely could not be told to anyone.

Watching Yuxian leave in a panic, Tamamo no Mae Little Tamamo and muttered to herself, "So Master has this kind of attribute. I'll write it down in my notebook."

On the other side, Abby was terrified. Walking in this dark place, she was extremely nervous.

If Little Jeanne hadn't been encouraging her, she might have already burst into tears.

"Jeanne-chan, shall we go back?" Abby wanted to back out; she really disliked this place.

Little Jeanne held her hand, "Abby, don't be afraid, I've been by your side the whole time, haven't I? There are no bad people here, we're all family here!"

"Let's go look around. We might run into other people. It would be best if we could give them a scare."

Little Jeanne was very brave and didn't feel uncomfortable in such an environment at all; she even thought about scaring others.

"No... no, please..." Abby said, trembling.

Ah!!!

A loud shout suddenly came from the woods, startling Abby so much that she immediately hugged Little Jeanne and trembled.

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, it's Satania's voice," Little Jeanne comforted her.

Abby asked anxiously, "Why is she screaming so loudly? Did something bad happen?"

"Hmph, she looks bold, but she's actually a coward. Someone must have scared her."

Little Jeanne confidently analyzed, "Let's hurry up and set off too, we can't just let them scare us."

He grabbed Abby and rushed toward the direction from which the sound came.

At that moment, Satania was huddled on the ground, trembling with her hands covering her head.

She was the one who came up with the idea of the "test of courage," and she was also the first one to be scared. She was so scared that she almost cried, truly a disgrace to hell.

Chapter 34, Section 405: Just Smash Him with a Shield

Satania crouched on the ground, curled up with her hands covering her head.

Raphael walked up behind her, patted her on the shoulder, and whispered, "Satania..."

Satania heard Raphael's voice, turned around, but didn't see Raphael.

When she turned her head again, Raphael was standing in front of her, shining a flashlight on her face and revealing a terrifying smile.

"Ah!!!"

Satania was startled again, and she crawled backward.

Suddenly she felt herself bump into something. Turning her head, she saw a huge bat with its mouth full of fangs right in front of her.

"Ah!!!"

Satania was startled once again and screamed repeatedly.

You, a demon, are you afraid of bats?

"Satania, don't be afraid, I'm here to save you!"

Gabriel jumped out from the shadows and kicked away the bat next to Satania.

Satania looked at Gabriel with teary eyes, "Thank you, Gabriel..."

Gabriel patted Satania on the shoulder, indicating that she didn't need to be afraid.

Suddenly she reached out and touched Satania's neck, exclaiming, "Satania, you've been bitten!"

Gabriel stretched out her hand in front of Satania, her palm covered in bright red blood.

Satania was startled and quickly wiped her neck with her hand. The damp feeling gave her a bad feeling.

Sure enough, her hands were also covered in blood.

Gabriel asked with concern, "Satania, you got bitten, will you turn into a vampire?"

"Vampires? Bats?" Satania stood there, stunned, unable to process what she was seeing.

Thump!

Satania closed her eyes and fainted from fright.

"Hey, aren't you guys going a bit too far?"

Osakabehime emerged from the shadows. She had just helped Gabriel scare Satania, but she hadn't expected Satania to be so easily frightened and to faint so easily.
