I also wanted to ask you that, Nami-chan.
Hugging a pillow at night, could it be that she wanted to...
Nami's cheeks flushed slightly, but she quickly regained her composure:
Stop pretending, aren't you the same?
And you're criticizing me? What about yourself?
The two remained locked in a stalemate at the doorway, neither willing to back down.
Zhou Ye lay in bed, and when he heard the faint noise coming from the doorway, he frowned slightly.
What are you two doing at the door?
His voice rang out in the darkness, carrying the displeasure of having his sleep disturbed.
Nami and Saeko Busujima froze, exchanging a glance and both seeing the panic in each other's eyes.
It's over, it's been discovered.
Boss, we...
Nami stammered as she tried to explain.
Saeko Busujima simply pushed open the door and entered, stating frankly:
Since we've already been discovered, let's just say it directly.
Hey boss, I can't sleep tonight, so I thought I'd come chat with you.
Seeing this, Nami reluctantly followed him inside.
Me too, I'm a little nervous about fighting Honkai Beasts tomorrow.
Zhou Ye sat up, looking at the two women hugging pillows, and didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
Do you need to hug a pillow while chatting?
What do you take me for?
Nami blushed even more and muttered:
Who said you can't hug a pillow while chatting!
Saeko Busujima, on the other hand, was much more generous and went straight to the bedside:
140, boss, the room is so big anyway, two more people won't make it crowded.
and...
She paused for a moment, her eyes becoming serious:
I do have something I want to say to you.
Zhou Ye looked at them and sighed inwardly.
These two women usually seem quite intelligent, how come they've both turned out like this?
Okay, since you're here, don't just stand there.
He moved over to make room for them.
However, it was just chatting.
Nami and Saeko Busujima exchanged a glance and both breathed a sigh of relief.
Nami trotted up to the bed and sat to Zhou Ye's left, hugging a pillow.
Saeko Busujima sat gracefully on the right, with a pillow on her lap.
Boss, actually I wanted to ask about tomorrow's battle...
Nami spoke first, attempting to change the subject.
Do you really think we can defeat the Honkai Beasts?
Zhou Ye turned to look at her:
What's wrong? Losing confidence?
Nami shook her head:
It's not that I lack confidence, it's just that... suddenly facing such a strong opponent, I still feel a little uneasy.
Saeko Busujima continued:
I'm really looking forward to the opportunity to fight a truly powerful enemy; such opportunities are rare.
Excitement shone in her eyes:
But boss, I want to know, what if we fail?
Looking at the two of them, Zhou Ye felt a warm current welling up in his heart.
Both women appear strong on the surface, but deep down they still harbor worries and fears.
failure?
He chuckled:
Then start over until you succeed.
I'm not really going to send you to your deaths.
Nami felt a warmth in her heart upon hearing this and couldn't help but move closer to Zhou Ye.
Saeko Busujima also lowered her head slightly, her long purple hair obscuring her expression.
The atmosphere in the room became warm and peaceful.
The three of them huddled together, and no one spoke again.
Moonlight streamed in through the gaps in the curtains, casting dappled shadows on the bed.
This night was destined to be anything but peaceful.
Chapter 104 Daily Life
The morning sunlight streamed through the gaps in the curtains, casting dappled patterns on the messy bed.
[Beep beep beep—beep beep beep—]
The shrill alarm clock rang precisely at 7:10.
Zhou Ye frowned, swung his arm haphazardly, and groped to swat away the inconsiderate source of noise.
He rubbed his sleepy eyes, feeling like a shipwrecked vessel entangled in seaweed.
On his left, Nami's warm body was pressed tightly against him, with one arm and one leg domineeringly across him, her orange hair scattered on the pillow, and her breathing even.
On the right, Saeko Busujima is relatively more proper, but she also uses her other arm as a pillow, her long purple hair cascading down like a waterfall.
"Nami, Saeko, wake up." Zhou Ye nudged them, his voice hoarse from just waking up. "It's time. It's 7:10 in the morning. Time to get up, wash up, and go to class."
Nami let out a dissatisfied groan, then clung to him even tighter like an octopus, rubbing her head against his chest.
"Going to school..." she mumbled, her eyes still closed. "Big brother, can I not go? I'm so sleepy, I want to sleep a little longer..."
The voice was soft and sweet, with a hint of coquetry.
Helpless, Zhou Ye reached out and gently pinched Nami's smooth and delicate cheek.
"Then let me ask you, can you solve Maxwell's equations?"
Nami mumbled a confused "Hmm?"
Do you know how to solve Faraday's law of electromagnetic induction? Do you know how to calculate electromagnetic conversion efficiency?
Zhou Ye continued, his tone slightly mocking, "In some ways, you're a mage who follows the lightning path, right? You can't even understand these basic physics principles, and you don't want to go to school?"
"Woo..."
Nami reluctantly opened one eye, and upon hearing those dreadful physics terms, her beautiful brows immediately furrowed.
"Boss, what are you talking about... I don't understand, I don't understand at all!"
It wasn't that she didn't want to learn; it was just that those twisted and turned formulas and symbols seemed like gibberish to her.
"Pfft."
Saeko Busujima, who was lying on her side, chuckled softly. She was already awake and watching Nami's discomfiture with interest through her purple eyes.
"Nami, the boss is right."
Saeko sat up and straightened her slightly disheveled pajamas.
"Physics is a required course to become a qualified mage. Even in the mystical world, the use of energy follows certain basic laws. Understanding these laws is essential to better control power."
She stretched, her perfect curves faintly visible in the morning light.
"Get up and wash up, Nami."
Saeko lifted the covers and stood by the bed.
"We're taking Shizuka to the academy today. It's her first day as a school doctor, so we can't be late."
She paused and added:
"Besides, doesn't the boss still have something to give to Gremory and the others?"
Nami pouted, reluctantly climbed off Zhou Ye, and complained sleepily:
"I know, I know... Seriously, I finally don't have to worry about being chased by some weird thing anymore, and now I have to get up early for school. My life is just too hard!"
Zhou Ye looked at her childish complaints and shook his head. This girl.
He threw back the covers and got out of bed, stretching his somewhat stiff body. Although they had only chatted last night, the two of them crammed into one bed had somewhat affected their sleep quality.
"Alright, stop joking around," Zhou Ye urged. "Hurry up and get ready, don't keep Sister Jingxiang waiting."
He then went to the bathroom.
Rias, and Akeno...
The two names flashed through Zhou Ye's mind.
