"Let's go, didn't you say we were heading home?"
Quanxi glanced at Fang Mo and said in a very calm tone, "I'm too tired from today's battle. When we get back, I plan to take a bath first."
"That's my home, big sister."
Fang Mo couldn't help but retort, "What does me going home have to do with you? Can't you just find a hotel or something to stay in like Reze?"
"No."
Quanxi shook her head decisively, "Makima will definitely target me. I don't care about myself, but my woman can't have any more problems, so I must follow you."
"Then you can leave these two women with me."
Fang Mo said without a second thought, "You go find somewhere else to stay."
...
Quanxi didn't speak, just looked at Fang Mo with a melancholic gaze, as if saying 'Do you hear yourself talking?'
"The thing is, it's very inconvenient for you to stay at my place."
Seeing this, Fang Mo spread his hands, "I'm not living alone; I have a little maid here..."
"I promise I won't make a move on your woman."
Quanxi understood and immediately promised.
"It's not about whether you make a move or not, what I mean is..."
"If you're into this sort of thing, I can also serve as your maid," Quanxi calmly said, "And my woman as well, consider it a full board and lodging job, definitely easier than fighting Devils."
...
After hearing this, Fang Mo felt a headache coming on and said with a swipe of his face, "Fine, if you want to come, then come."
After saying that, he walked towards the direction of the villa, while Quanxi nodded to her two Devil sisters and slowly followed behind Fang Mo.
The group didn't speak much along the way.
Soon, Fang Mo returned to his villa.
"Well, Ah Xue, hear me out first."
Seeing Ah Xue seemed somewhat puzzled, Fang Mo took the initiative to explain, "They are the new members recently recruited into the Special Division. However, fearing that they might be sabotaged by their immediate superior, they plan to stay here temporarily. Rest assured, they are all females..."
"No need for the master to explain these things specifically."
Ah Xue, on her part, was very magnanimous. After listening, she directly chuckled and shook her head, "Compared to them, I'm more curious about this little one on your shoulder. It looks somewhat familiar to me."
"Meow!"
The little black cat immediately meowed upon hearing this and then raised one of its front paws to Ah Xue.
"Is it really Shoggoth?"
Seeing this, Ah Xue also smiled and extended a finger to gently tap on the cat's paw pad, "How did this little one turn into a cat?"
"Because there are just too many sycophants in this world."
Fang Mo spread his hands, "So, I thought of getting a cat to balance things out."
"I see."
Ah Xue nodded, not dwelling much on the topic. Instead, she gently suggested, "Let's have dinner first, master. I've already prepared the meal."
"Oh, okay."
Fang Mo responded and then headed towards the dining room, "After all the trouble today, I'm indeed a bit hungry."
"Please, take a seat as well."
After Fang Mo left, Ah Xue turned to Quanxi and the other two, "I'll go get the tableware ready for you."
"That would be trouble for you."
Quanxi slightly bowed and nodded, "Hmm... Madam."
Soon, Quanxi and her Devil sister also sat at the dining table. Fang Mo didn't say much; after all, Ah Xue cooked a lot of dishes every day, so three more mouths to feed wasn't a big deal.
For instance, today, Ah Xue cooked more than ten dishes, like spicy rabbit cubes, beef with double peppers, cumin lamb, crispy fried lotus root boxes, and pork in batter... Fang Mo remarked that his reality was nothing like that of a Snow Queen; this was clearly the Snow Queen in action!
"Is this... stir-fry?"
Even Quanxi, upon sitting down, had a slightly surprised expression on her face. She looked up at Fang Mo, "You... are you really not Japanese?"
"Hello, friend, I am a netizen from the northern part of the mainland."
Fang Mo said with a smile.
"..."
After hearing this, Quanxi seemed to be stunned for a moment, and then, not knowing what she was thinking, suddenly said to Fang Mo, "Is this the reason you're opposing Makima?"
"Don't overthink it, I just simply find her annoying."
Fang Mo waved his hand and then picked up a chopstick-full of shredded potatoes in vinegar and put it into his bowl: "Just focus on being a good worker."
"Speaking of working..."
Quanxi also began to pick up food, eating while calmly asking, "You must be planning something, right? What do I need to do?"
"Just integrate well into the Fourth Special Division, and in a few days, join them in the campaign against the Gun Devil."
"The campaign against the Gun Devil?" Quanxi looked up at Fang Mo upon hearing this: "Forgive my bluntness, but do you not know that the Gun Devil has already..."
"I know the Gun Devil has become a strategic weapon, but do you think with how things are now, they will just sit by and do nothing?"
While eating, Fang Mo explained, "Not to mention other countries, just the behavior of the USA... To be honest, our building here can barely fit a light rail tram through it, but theirs? Their buildings could even have a plane fly through them. Isn't it unsurprising that such a miraculous country could do anything?"
"You..."
After listening, Quanxi's expression was a bit strange: "You seem to have a lot of complaints about them."
"Now, I do have some complaints, but I guess it won't be long before I don't have any, because my good brother is running for the next president, and he plans to hold a concert in the White House. The songs he'll sing include some nauseating ones, 'Sunshine, Rainbows, White Phony,' (AKA: Nae Nae Niga) and so on..." Fang Mo said nonchalantly: "Basic operation, no big deal."
"No big deal."
After thinking, Quanxi finally said.
"Anyway, you don't need to worry too much about other things," Fang Mo said. "Just honestly work. If you're worried about the Devils, I can transfer them to an absolutely safe place."
"Okay, I got it."
Quanxi nodded and then bowed her head to eat without saying anything else.
Soon, dinner was finished. Quanxi, taking the initiative with two Devil sisters, went to the kitchen to help wash dishes and wipe tables, while Ah Xue went upstairs to tidy up their rooms. Originally, she intended to prepare three rooms, but Quanxi said that one room would be enough.
There's not much else to say about what happened next.
After cleaning up, Ah Xue quickly went back to rest, and Quanxi also went back to his room to bathe with the Devil girls.
As for Tekeli... Although it transformed from a sticky mass into a little black cat, it still enjoyed watching TV. Fang Mo, unable to sleep, simply decided to accompany it on the couch and watch TV together.
What Fang Mo didn't expect, however, was that in the middle of the night, someone suddenly knocked on the villa's front door.
Honestly, it was already past two in the morning, so having visitors at this time was indeed strange. Curious, Fang Mo went to open the door, only to find Hayakawa Aki standing outside.
"Hm?"
Seeing the visitor, Fang Mo was even more surprised: "Why is it you?"
"Why can't it be me?"
Hayakawa Aki said: "After all, I'm someone who has signed a contract with you, can't I come to you for matters?"
"It's not that you can't."
As he spoke, Fang Mo stepped aside to make room: "Anyway, come in first."
Hayakawa Aki didn't say much and walked in directly.
The two went to the living room, and Fang Mo invited him to sit on the sofa. Then he turned his head to the little black cat on the side and ordered, "Tekeli, brew two cups of tea."
The little black cat was still watching TV.
Upon hearing Fang Mo's command, a small tentacle sprouted from its body and then it slapped a lump of black liquid onto the floor.
The little black cat remained in its TV-watching posture, but from the shadows on the floor emerged a dazedly cute white-haired maid. She went into the kitchen to fuss around and soon came out with two steaming cups of tea: "Guest, please enjoy the tea."
"Uh... thank you."
Hayakawa Aki was somewhat bewildered as he took the teacup.
"Alright, speak."
Fang Mo seemed unfazed, directly picking up his teacup and asking Hayakawa Aki: "What brought you here so late? Don't tell me you're here to start trouble?"
"Only a Devil like you would think of such disgusting things."
Hayakawa Aki replied with a scowl.
"Nonsense, I'm almost in Sage Mode, okay?" Fang Mo immediately retorted upon hearing this: "I was disgusted by a Devil recently and haven't really wanted to..."
However, before Fang Mo could finish speaking.
Suddenly, a burst of women's cooing voices came from the second floor.
"Ah, Lord Quanxi~~"
Hearing this voice, Hayakawa Aki immediately turned his head to look at Fang Mo, his face revealing an expression that spoke volumes: "If it's inconvenient for you, I can leave."
"Damn... this has nothing to do with me."
Fang Mo hurriedly explained, suddenly slamming the table and saying: "This is all Quanxi and their doing, damn it! These women... are simply lawless! To think they would start a silver mine in my house in broad daylight!"
"The most important thing is that they didn't bring you along, right?"
Hayakawa Aki asked.
"Of course not!" Fang Mo immediately corrected himself: "I've already said I'm a gentleman, enough with this topic, TM, stop harping on it. What do you want, coming here in the middle of the night? Spit it out, or I'll have to ask you to leave."
"The armored warrior you summoned before."
Hearing Fang Mo say this, Hayakawa Aki immediately asked the question on his mind: "She's Himeno-senpai, right?"
"Did Kishibe tell you?"
Fang Mo looked at Hayakawa Aki in surprise: "Or did you guess it yourself?"
"I have a very tacit understanding with Himeno-senpai," Hayakawa Aki said. "From the moment I saw her, I knew something was off. After encountering the Darkness Devil in hell, the armored warrior's hand and arm armor were chopped off. When they regenerated, her hands were exposed... Those hands always steal my cigarettes, so I remember them very clearly."
"Identifying someone by their hands, huh? What is this, Kira Yoshikage..."
After listening, Fang Mo immediately retorted: "I'm already thinking about trying to insert a bug arrow into you to see if you can awaken a big pink cat."
"So that person really was Himeno-senpai?"
Hearing Fang Mo's words, Hayakawa Aki also became somewhat excited: "You... you said before that you had eaten her?"
"I did eat her."
Fang Mo directly said: "But not in the physical sense, it was something else..."
"What did you say!?"
Hayakawa Aki stood up abruptly upon hearing this.
