"Alright, I'll keep it for now. Toppa, you can come find me whenever you change your mind."
"...I will absolutely not change my mind."
"Well... let's wait and see?"
Jade felt that the girl was still too young.
Why would someone give up a "manager" position to become a deputy manager?
Alas, youth... Throughout history, there has never been a reason to pass on tasks to superiors in order to shirk responsibility.

"My lord, you've arrived."
"...Lord Fox Palace?"
Sakura was clearly a little startled when she saw Kitsune-no-Miya.
Liu Bai was not surprised to see the Fox Abode Palace.
Instead, her mind involuntarily began to analyze whether Mikoto Chiyo or Yae no Miko had fallen victim to the "poisonous hand" of the Fox Maiden.
It has to be said that if Fox Palace were to join in, this bizarre meal would suddenly become normal.
"why you?"
As Liu Bai asked questions, he began to touch and grope Hu Zhaigong, who, feigning reluctance, nestled into Liu Bai's arms.
There's no Eden lying right next to us, so we don't need to worry about anything.
Furthermore, this wasn't the first or second time he had exchanged words with Fox Palace.
"Why can't it be me?"
Fox Palace complained with a resentful look, but his hands were quick as he unbuckled his belt.
"That girl's gotta be asking for trouble. She's a long shot."
Fox Palace slid down, and the entire garment fell off like a snake shedding its skin.
Fox Abode Palace is now directly facing Liu Bai's...
"Ahem! Um... Lord Fox Abbot, Lord Liu Bai, let's go inside first."
Seeing that Fox Palace was about to start inhaling the drug right there, Sakura couldn't help but remind him.
Just a few steps! We'll be right inside!
"Oh, right! General, there's also this..."
As soon as Sakura took out the box, it was burned to nothing but a small spell by Fox Palace.
"Sakura is so thoughtful. You can keep this box for yourself."
Fox Palace smiled slightly.
What an eyesore! Why wear that?
Sakura opened her mouth—then decisively shut it.
It seems I can't say anything other than joining right now.
Fox Palace glanced at Sakura, but didn't insist. He got up and took Liu Bai into the house.
"My lord, would you like to hear a joke from those two?"
Fox Palace spoke seductively into Liu Bai's ear.
...a sly fox.
Liu Bai pretended to listen attentively.
Just as Hu Zhaigong was caught off guard and was about to begin his lecture, Liu Bai suddenly picked him up and carried him in his arms.
"Eh... Ugh—?"
(...as expected, he couldn't hold out until he got inside.)
Sakura, who was tidying up the clothes for the two of them, blushed and stole a glance at Kozai-gumi, whose eyes rolled back instantly after being picked up by Liu Bai.
"Husband...you...you're being too rough..."
"Perfect for dealing with seductive vixens."
"Well, isn't it because you're my husband...?"
In a few moments, Fox Palace was almost destroyed by Chao. Completely exhausted, it had no strength to struggle and was carried into the house by Liu Bai.
Upon entering the room, Liu Bai stared blankly for a moment, even forgetting to move.
Two “prisoners” bound together with electrified ropes.
They were bound hand and foot, with blindfolds and gags all in place.
As soon as the two struggled, the rope with the talisman attached would generate a slight electric shock.
It's possible that the darkness and the electric current caused both of them to become wet.
Fox Palace then spoke up.
"These two idiots, I made one phone call to them and they all wanted to team up with me... um... to kick me while I'm at it."
Fox Palace is now unusually proactive.
"So... I can only choose a win-win situation~ So... you can only enjoy those two losers after you've enjoyed me, my lord~"

Sakura had a hard time explaining how she managed to get through to the next morning.
"...You're still here after all."
Xin Hai brought water and food with a sympathetic look on her face.
—As someone who was being used, Xin Hai also came to check on the situation last night.
—Then I was so frightened by the loud female chorus inside the room that I fled in panic.
Fortunately, the noise inside finally stopped by morning.
"After all, this is... the subordinate's responsibility."
"Yes."
A sound suddenly rang out from the sky.
Then Kujo Sara flew down from the tree.
"Lord Kujo, when did you arrive?"
Xin Hai was startled.
"last night."
Compared to Sakura, who seemed to be in a slightly bad mental state, Kujo Sara appeared to be quite normal.
"It made you laugh."
Kujo nods slightly.
Shinkai looked at Kujo Sara, seemingly wanting to say something but then stopping herself.
This person... must be Lord Raiden's loyal dog, right?
If our Serpent God's previous intelligence was correct, then those people inside this time could be considered "rebellious," right?
"Lord Kujo...you have no objections?" Shinkai asked cautiously.
"What's your opinion?"
"It is... General."
Xin Hai glanced at the now silent wooden house.
"Didn't you say you had to be a real adult first?"
"It is the General's prerogative to choose which one to favor."
Kujo Sara revealed a serious expression.
"As a subject, one should not interfere in such matters."
"..."
No, I don't understand the logic here at all.
...And your loyalty has been transferred way too quickly, hasn't it?
Shinkai really wanted to complain, but she didn't dare to in the face of Kujo Sara's stern expression.
However, the underlying logic is not actually that difficult to understand.
It's just that Xin Hai hasn't fully integrated into the circle yet.
First, prioritize truth, but this is not a mandatory requirement.
Secondly, putting aside the fact that he was a subject... Kujo Sara, as a wife, or rather, as a concubine or secondary wife, was overstepping her bounds... from a certain perspective, this could be considered a benefit to her.
There are no mandatory requirements and it's a positive development... Moreover, it's related to Liu Bai, her future husband.
Kujo Sara decisively chose to turn a blind eye and guard the gate—she was already very grateful for the fact that she didn't directly join.
And to be honest, Kujo Sara thought that it was already quite moral for Kitsune-no-Kami to only have an affair after returning to Inazuma.
And then again... although many people have a good impression of Zhen, who is a gentle and understanding older sister, even people like Ruan Mei and Mebius, who don't give much face to anyone, will give Zhen face.
But for these former subordinates of Thor...
Well, it's not that it's bad, but the unspoken rule that the boss starts eating first is something everyone else accepts. Because Raiden is really laid-back, they were overtaken by Liyue.
This is very awkward.
Although it's not good to judge others by one's own standards, Kujo Sara felt that if it had been Ayaka who came yesterday instead of her, she would probably have made the same choice as herself.
Breaking this unspoken rule is truly beneficial to them.
Didn't you check on Sakura or inform Shin?
However, well, to be fair, it's not that I'm really dissatisfied.
This unspoken rule was established by them out of morality and gratitude for the true kindness of thunder and lightning.
Raiden Shin himself didn't mind this and offered them a lot of encouragement.
They created their own trap, so it's not like they were really wrong.
...And speaking of which, that high note in the choir yesterday...
It's really worrying whether the body can withstand lightning.
"Hmm... Anyway, shall we go see the General now?"
"Do you want to go in?"
Kujo Sara glanced at the time.
Although it seemed that Liu Bai hadn't gotten up yet, Kujo Sara wouldn't mind giving the newcomer a helping hand if he was willing to.
"I...uh...no! No!"
Xin Hai couldn't even imagine the extent of the mess inside, and shook his head repeatedly.
Seeing this, Kujo Sara did not insist.
If I had encountered this situation a few months ago, I probably would have just been a little calmer than usual.
"Okay, then you can go back first. Sakura and I can handle things here."
"Good, good."
Xin Hai breathed a sigh of relief.
This Heavenly General isn't as scary as the rumors say.
Xin Hai replaced the past with water and rice.
I also took a closer look at Kujo Sara.
