Shizuka Marikawa, standing beside her, seemed somewhat at a loss. Her pink lace nightgown made her look like a doll who had wandered into a battlefield. She tugged at Rika Minami's sleeve, as if she wanted to say something, but dared not speak.
In the end, it was Nami who broke the deathly silence.
She lowered her voice, but every word seemed to be squeezed out from between her teeth—full of gunpowder.
"That's going too far!"
"You never come when the boss is resting alone, so you have to come now? You're deliberately trying to cause trouble!"
Upon hearing this, Nan Lixiang chuckled softly, the sound of which was particularly clear and jarring in the quiet corridor.
"Don't say that, Nami."
She slowly straightened up and walked over step by step, her high-heeled, fluffy slippers making a soft "patter" sound on the floor.
"We're not here to cause trouble, we're here to help."
She emphasized the word "help" and walked up to Nami, looking down at her decisive pajamas with a mocking gaze that came from an adult.
"Although you and the boss were the first, you're still young. The boss has a fiery temper, and you... can't handle it all by yourself, can you?"
Nanrika leaned close to Nami's ear and, in a voice only they could hear, uttered the most vicious provocation.
"Shizuka and I are adults, so we can take on more of the damage."
[Output!]
These two words rang in Nami's mind like a thunderclap, and her face instantly turned bright red, not from embarrassment, but from extreme anger!
This is naked humiliation!
"You... what nonsense are you spouting!" Nami trembled with rage. "You dark-skinned bandit!"
"Just cut off anyone who gets in your way."
A cold, indifferent voice came from behind Nami.
Saeko Busujima slowly raised her eyes, her sharp gaze locking onto Rika Minami as if she were looking at an inanimate object. Her hand, resting on the hilt of her sword, had already gently pushed the tsuba aside with her thumb.
A murderous aura spread out in an instant.
Nan Lixiang's smile froze.
She wasn't afraid of arguing, but when faced with Saeko Busujima, a combat maniac who was willing to draw her knife at the slightest provocation, she had to take things seriously.
"Saeko, don't get so angry. We're all doing this for the boss's sake." Nanri Kaori raised her hands in a gesture of surrender, but her tone showed no sign of backing down.
"Wait! Saeko! Don't do it!"
Nami quickly grabbed Saeko's hand.
She knew that Saeko meant what she said, but if a fight broke out here, it would only wake Zhou Ye up, and then everyone's plans would be ruined!
She suppressed her anger and resolved the problem in the way she was best at.
She looked at Nan Lixiang and said through gritted teeth, "Tell me, what do you want for you to leave now?"
"I'll make it up to you two another day!"
"Oh?" Nanri raised an eyebrow, her smile returning. "Compensation? You said it yourself."
She seemed to have been waiting for Nami to say that.
She stretched out her right hand and slowly spread her five fingers in front of Nami.
Nami frowned: "What do you mean?"
"Five million." Nanri Kaori's smile turned into that of a shrewd businesswoman. "US dollars."
"For just five million dollars, Shizuka and I guarantee that we will not interfere with your time together for the next two weeks."
She paused, then added, her tone practically rubbing salt into Nami's wounds.
"Of course, if you can't handle the load halfway and need our support, the price will be different."
Five million dollars?!
Nami's scream nearly pierced the roof; she covered her mouth tightly to keep the sound from escaping. Her eyes widened as she stared at Nanami Rika in disbelief.
"You robbed!"
Nanri Kaori immediately stopped smiling, shook her head innocently, and waved her hands.
"I'm not, I didn't, don't talk nonsense."
That practiced three-part denial nearly made Nami so angry she couldn't breathe.
This woman! She's no different from a bandit!
Five million dollars! That's a treasure she painstakingly accumulated! To spend it on something like this? Impossible! Absolutely impossible!
"No way!" Nami refused decisively.
“Then there’s nothing to talk about.” Nan Lixiang shrugged. “It’ll be a matter of each person having the ability.”
"you……"
Just as the atmosphere in the corridor was tense and a major battle was about to break out.
【Om—】
A slight fluctuation of magical energy rippled outwards between the four of them.
A dark blue magic circle, filled with intricate runes, unfolded unexpectedly on the corridor floor.
The argument between Nami, Saeko, and Nanami Rika came to an abrupt halt, and everyone looked warily at the magic circle.
A flash of light appeared, and two graceful figures, both dressed in revealing pajamas, appeared in the center of the magic circle.
One was Rias Gremory, who wore a wine-red silk nightgown that perfectly accentuated her mature and voluptuous figure.
The other is Himejima Akeno, who is wearing a semi-transparent black lace kimono and exudes a bewitching aura.
The two had clearly just taken a bath, their bodies still damp and fragrant.
Their arrival instantly made the already crowded battlefield even more chaotic.
Himejima Akeno stared at the three opposing forces before her, momentarily stunned, then covered her mouth and revealed her signature cunning yet charming smile.
"Ah la la..."
Her voice sounded particularly alluring in the quiet corridor.
"It seems this place will be quite lively tonight."
Chapter 167 An unexpected encounter
In the narrow corridor, the air almost solidified.
Nami, Saeko Busujima, Rika Minami, and Shizuka Marikawa—four people in two teams—unexpectedly meet on the only path leading to their ultimate goal.
Time seemed to have been paused at this moment.
Nami's pretty face was filled with the anger of her "plan being exposed" and the resentment of "her treasure being coveted." She was grinding her teeth so hard they were almost ground to powder, and she was roaring wildly in her heart.
[Damn it! There are so many philanderers!]
[They all act so proper on ordinary days, but now they've all shown their true colors! Did they have to pick tonight? Are they deliberately trying to cause trouble?!]
Saeko Busujima behind her remained expressionless, but the hand resting on the hilt of her sword said it all. To her, these were merely a few obstacles to be cleared on the road to her goal.
At the other end of the corridor, Nanri Kaori displayed a completely different posture. With her arms crossed, her tall, voluptuous figure leaned against the wall, a smug, self-assured smile playing on her lips, a smile brimming with provocation, as if to say, "What a coincidence, you're here too?"
Shizuka Marikawa, standing beside her, seemed somewhat at a loss. Her pink lace nightgown made her look like a doll who had wandered into a battlefield. She tugged at Rika Minami's sleeve, as if she wanted to say something, but dared not speak.
In the end, it was Nami who broke the deathly silence.
She lowered her voice, but every word seemed to be squeezed out from between her teeth, full of gunpowder.
"That's going too far!"

"Wait! Saeko! Don't do it!"
Nami quickly grabbed Saeko's hand.
