Often, the real danger comes from our own people!
"what happened?"
Rin Tohsaka felt a chill run down her spine from the stare and couldn't help but ask a question.
"Rin, you'll always be on my side, right?"
"Of course, we've been friends for a long time."
Rin Tohsaka responded lazily, yawned, and then spoke again—
"What's wrong with you today? You seem quite insecure."
"Perhaps happiness came too suddenly, and I'm a little anxious about losing it."
"You're living too comfortably. If you were to go bankrupt like my family, then I wouldn't have much to think about. Making money would be my top priority."
Rin Tohsaka offered a subtle reassurance, while silently wondering if the maid outfit could be delivered expedited.
If you're too late, it could result in huge losses!
Alter was somewhat reassured by this coaxing, and her attention quickly returned to her homework.
As for Jiang Qiu and the others on the other side, after finishing their game, they also noticed that Mordred's expression was a little off.
"What's wrong? You look like you're questioning the meaning of life."
Fu Shi asked with some curiosity.
“This guy who used to be really stingy suddenly started giving me a ton of stuff, and now he’s even added some more.”
"Looking at this makes me feel like I'm going to die, or that the other person is about to die."
Mordred explained, looking at the message from Blackie that read, "I'm giving you my entire toy collection, and everything today is a secret," with a look of utter disbelief.
What the hell happened?
Chapter 118, Section 119: Hiroi Kikuri is challenging Hell difficulty.
"Hey, club president, let's play!"
Exusiai's energetic shouts came to an abrupt halt as she stared blankly at the notice posted on the door of the club activity room.
We need to go to Bronya's company for a meeting today, and also discuss ways to improve Lost Paradise.
Today's club activity is temporarily canceled. You can go home first, or play in the activity room for a while. The equipment can still be used as usual.
[Note: Please refrain from misbehaving in the activity room.]
Upon seeing this last warning, Exusiai immediately looked at Jiang Qiu behind her.
"Jiang Qiu, are they talking about you?"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Qiu's face darkened, and for a moment she really didn't know how to refute it.
After all, they were caught red-handed that time, and there were so many eyewitnesses that they couldn't keep it a secret.
Without dwelling on the matter, Jiang Qiu opened the door, glanced around the room, and sighed after confirming that no one was there.
"What are your plans? Are you going to play for a while or head straight home?"
"Nobody's here. I think I'll just go home. I have a lot of homework to do today."
"Let's go back. It just doesn't feel lively without so many people."
"It can only be the."
After discussing it, everyone decided to leave.
After seeing everyone off, Jiang Qiu went to the gym alone.
Unsurprisingly, Little Tiger and his group were nowhere to be seen, each seemingly afflicted with a fear of battle, avoiding direct confrontation.
Left with no other choice, he exercised for a while as usual before returning home all alone.
Today is the day Artoria and Rin start their work, and he wants to see if these two can handle the heavy workload.
Just as she passed the guardhouse, Hong Meiling suddenly opened the window and leaned out—
"Young boss, my family sent over some cured sausages and kimchi. Would you like to take some home and try them?"
"Oh wow, then I'll have to try it out and see what it tastes like."
Jiang Qiu's eyes lit up, and she immediately gathered up (nine) balls VI锍VII and shoved them over.
But the next second, Hong Meiling put a huge string of sausages on the table, so much of it looked like it could kill someone.
The kimchi jar was so big that it almost covered half of Hong Meiling's body, leaving Jiang Qiu stunned.
"So many?"
“Sakuya knows there are a lot of you, so she made a little extra. Let me help you carry it up.”
"Oh, this is troublesome."
After Jiang Qiu scooped up the sausage, Mei Ling followed beside him, carrying a large jar of kimchi.
As she went upstairs, Jiang Qiu didn't forget to remind her—
"There will be another person applying for a housekeeping job today. She's from the same clan as Artoria, so she'll be easy to recognize."
"I've already interviewed her at the school. When you come over later, can you go through the process with her?"
"okay."
Hong Meiling happily agreed, helped carry the kimchi into the house, and then strolled back to the guardhouse.
Hiroi Kikuri, who was slumped in the room watching TV, glanced at him with her drunken head tilted to the side and asked somewhat groggily—
"Hey~ Jiang Qiu, why are you the only one who came back today?"
"Mikasa and the others are still participating in club activities. I had to cancel mine at the last minute, so I had to come back first."
"Where are Sister Shihua and the others?"
"I went to buy groceries and won't be back for a while. We were supposed to have turtle soup today."
Kiku said cheerfully, and didn't forget to gulp down another mouthful of wine.
After putting the sausage in, Jiang Qiu went to the sofa and pushed Ju Li aside.
"Don't lie there like that, you might fall."
"Hehe~ No way."
After groaning in a daze, Kiku-ri numbly nuzzled her head and then rested it directly on Jiang Qiu's lap.
After stretching, he hugged his cushion and tentatively asked—
"Jiang Qiu, are there any more Yongcui fans left?"
"You drank that whole case in one go?!"
"No, no, I've hidden most of them secretly. I have to keep an eye out for Jing."
"There's not much left on the surface as a cover, and Jing will definitely come and snatch it away, so we won't get many sips. Can you give us some more?"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Qiu pinched her pretty face in annoyance. This girl is eating what's in her bowl while eyeing what's in the pot.
"Want to drink? No problem, but you should know the price to pay, right?"
""
Kiku seemed to be stressed, and in an instant, she was sobered up considerably.
But soon, she collapsed back down as if nothing had happened.
It's just a matter of abstaining from alcohol for a few days. I managed to get through three days on my own, so there's nothing to be afraid of!
"I know, how many days will you abstain this time?"
"This time you don't need to quit, you can switch to massage therapy. As long as you can endure the whole massage routine once, I'll give you a bottle."
"Is this the one you used before?"
Seeing Jiang Qiu nod with a smile, Ju Li's eyelids twitched involuntarily. This time the difficulty level was frighteningly high!
I'd rather quit for three more days!
But this time it came quickly, and after hesitating for a moment, Kikuri gritted her teeth and made up her mind—
"Alright! Let's do it once before dinner!"
"you sure?"
Seeing that this guy had the courage to face his fear, Jiang Qiu couldn't help but show a surprised expression.
But the next second, he saw this thing shift the pillow, put it directly in its mouth, and mumble indistinctly—
"Come!"
"For the sake of the Yongcui Fan, I'll go all out today! Ohh ...
"Waaaaaah~~~ How could it start so fast?! It's so intense right from the start, ahhhhhh!!!!"
Kiku's battle cry instantly went out of control and echoed throughout the entire living room.
The huge sofa was instantly soaked with sweat, and the corpse convulsed violently as if electrocuted, its eyes becoming unfocused.
As Jiang Qiu temporarily stopped, she took a deep breath and managed to pull her consciousness back from the brink of dissipation.
Having already endured numerous forms of torture, she had developed a resistance that undoubtedly boosted her confidence.
"Should this be considered passing?"
"What are you thinking? This is just the beginning, the real start is yet."
Kikuri's pupils dilated upon hearing this, and she immediately realized the seriousness of the problem.
"Wait, wait, it's not too late to switch to quitting drinking now...ooh...ohhh...you son of a bitch...ooh...ahhh..."
"Help!! My brain is malfunctioning, it's crashed!!!"
Kiku was like a drowning person, frantically thrashing and struggling, but unable to escape the punishment of the water ghost.
As consciousness gradually faded into chaos, the strength of the struggle weakened until it completely shut down, at which point the head lolled to the side and there was no more movement.
Seeing how useless this guy was, Jiang Qiu stopped what she was doing in a bad mood and found a bottle of Yongcui fan, which she placed on the coffee table next to her.
The moment the soft clinking of the bottle drifted out, Kikuri, as if experiencing a final burst of energy, suddenly perked up again.
Chapter 119, Section 120: It seems she's not just here to steal my job!
"We're back, Kiku. Has Jiang Qiu returned yet?"
、事铃迩二俬吧4?裙“菊里?的人哪儿!
"Is there a strange smell in the room?"
Xingge, who had just returned home, sniffed the air and glanced around the house with some suspicion.
As someone who had been through similar experiences, Shika immediately recognized the source of the scent, and her expression changed slightly.
How long has it been, and there's already a cheating cat in the house?
Although I was somewhat prepared, I didn't expect it to come so soon!
However, since she was already on Jiang Qiu's side, and things had come to this point, she could only help cover for him for now.
"Maybe Jiang Qiu brought back some strange things. Just open the windows to let in some fresh air."
"Really?"
Xingge frowned, feeling that something was not quite right.
Before she could investigate further, Shihua pushed her towards the kitchen—
"You go wash the vegetables first, I'll tidy up and air it out."
"Oh"
After sending Xingge away, Shihua finally breathed a slight sigh of relief.
Just then, Jiang Qiu stepped out of the bedroom, somewhat surprised that Shi Hua and the others had returned so quickly.
The moment their eyes met, Shihua couldn't help but glare at him.
Doing such things in broad daylight at home? Be careful, or you'll get caught and cause a huge uproar!
