Chapter 139

: A Relatively Normal Night

Twirling around in her little flower outfit, Mia ran up to Baiyi and gently shook his shoulders.
Mr. Hope? Please dont get mad~
She cooed.
He looked at Mia dressed up as a flower fairy and then looked at Tisdale who was dressed up as a leaf of some kind and chuckled to himself uncontrollably. Looking at hid little girls dumb and endearing antics, he could only gently pat the twos head.
Its so good to have you two around, 
he thought to himself, feeling contented.
Attie stood at a side, studying the threes expressions.
Her lone shadow seemed to stretch loner as an inexplicable feeling dawned within her.

Alright, go to bed early, all of you. Tomorrow we will head out to shop for some new flowers, okay?
Baiyi eyed the setting sun and the colorful clouds hanging outside as dusk fell. Then as his eyes fell on Attie, he added,
Oh, and also, we need to buy her some new clothes

Not that she didnt look good in that outfit but were not in the Steppe anymore. You gotta wear something from the modern society Sure, modern clothing are getting skimpier but its still nothing compare to what you’re wearing.

N-new clothes!? 
Atties heart raced with joy even though at one corner of her mind, she remembered that it was the demon speaking.
But the clothes! The clothes in the Southern Lands are so Pretty

No! Look at you! The demon almost got you again!Grr, he almost did, didnt he?! I have to be more vigilant!


Tisdale, please give her a room to sleep in,
Baiyi said before heading out to buy them dinner.
The markets were already closing when Baiyi had stepped out. Not contented with letting the girls have breads and desserts for dinner, he went to a nearby restaurant to order some take-out. Using his mana, the Soul Armature levitated the food all the way home.
That evening, the city of Arfin had a new topic about a droll entertainer who performed a variation of the Pipers Song, only that instead of rats, food trailed behind him
Jeez, when can my new servant starts her job for real? 
Baiyi asked no one in particular, his feet finally stepping back into the Aegis residence. He laid down the food on the table and waited for the girls to appear at the alluring scent of food.
But they didnt appear. Baiyi scanned the whole mansion using his psychic energy, eventually locating all three girls in the basement.
What the Why are they collecting dust in the basement instead of bathing? Saw an ancient ghost dressed in a nun outfit down there? 
He started walking down the stairs to where the girls were and finally saw what they were up to.
Both of them were already in their nightgown and their hair were still wet. It was apparent that they just had their bath. The two girls were frantically circling and murmuring at a figure suspended in mid-air
It was Attie, tied up by ropes made out of pure mana like a fish caught in a net but so much tighter.
Her face was flushed in a mildly suggestive manner as if the ropes had tightened around some rather sensitive areas.
Seeing Baiyis return, the three girls heaved a sigh of relief. However, even after freeing her, Attie was still glaring at him in displeasure and suspicion.

Right, there isnt much worth to stealing except for the magical formation behind that door. So yea, I set up a little mousetrap.
He had planned to use that to catch a thief, but turned out Attie was the one who got caught instead.
Attie was caught when she was in the middle of exploring the mansion on her own. It wasnt that she didnt have her own room to return to she was just used to following the warrior instinct within her. Right then it was telling her that if she had to fight that demon at his home turf, she had to familiarize herself with the battlefield first.
The problem was that Tisdale forgot to tell her that there was a trap somewhere. It was an accident, but in Atties mind, This is all a prank, a trap. That demon wanted to embarrass me, that That That vile, wicked jerk!

If only I could stay VigiVigilant Mm Something smells tasty

Too bad that vile, wicked jerk had bought such good food that Attie could not even continue cursing him. The food from the Steppe was nice, too, but Southern cuisine was just so different from what she was used to.
After the meal, while Mia cleaned up, Tisdale had prepared some hot water for Attie to take a bath in. The water was at just the right temperature as it soaked her dark-skinned body, giving her such enjoyment that she unknowingly closed her eyes.
What a great place to stay in! Good food, lovely bath The Southern Land sure is a luxurious place to live in, 
Attie thought to herself. If only that annoying demon wasnt here!

There was not much to do when the sun was down in this world. When the sky had turned black, the girls could only go to bed. Baiyi, finally all by himself, was just about to talk to the Voidwalkers when he heard a knock.
It was Attie. She just had her bath and so her skin was red from the heat of the water. Her short, white hair plastered themselves smoothly at the back of her head as she looked down at the floor bashfully.

What is it?


Am Am I not your servant?


So? Didnt Tisdale just give you a room?

Attie shook her head, stealing a quick glance at the room opposite Baiyis, then slowly said,
Shouldnt Shouldnt servants sleep with their master?


Gods, seriously?
He sighed, then using mana he lifted her up on her neck and tossed her back to her own room, before closing his door.
She was secretly pleased with his reaction. She was really testing the demon to see if he was lusting after her but it seemed that her concern was unnecessary. Still, as she lay on her new, soft mattress, staring at the unfamiliar ceiling, her mind was busy with all her thoughts. The experience she had after meeting him left her perplexed and confused as to what exactly she should do
Baiyi himself was disinterested in figuring out the complex minds of young maidens because a big game was due for a victory celebration. Someone had suggested a massive game, which in turn garnered a lot of support from all the Walkers who werent sleeping.
The decided game was another game from Earth one that relied on logical reasoning and language analysis. The players all took up different roles, such as the werewolf, the witch, the villagers. The objective of the game 1 
was to find out who was the murderer among them.
Personally, Baiyi approved of the game because it eliminated the chances of any R18 comments or scenes. To make the game even grander, Baiyi had constructed an actual mountain village for all the characters to live in.
The game began and the first few rounds went very smoothly and by-the-book. The only exception to that was when someone died during the Night phase and became a Spartoi the next day. Everyone stared at the Lich for a millisecond before overwhelmingly voted to lynch him.
The Charlatan was easily the three-times-champion. And maybe that was the reason why the fourth round started changing…
The werewolves, led by the Engineer and the Painter, had wanted to murder the Caveman. Indignant, the Caveman retaliated so hard the assassination turned into a full-blown kung-fu episode. The Caveman died heroically, but the noises had caused the werewolves identities to be exposed completely. In a fit of vigilantism, the villagers had exterminated the werewolves without mercy
Reminder #1: the villagers cannot retaliate during assassination. Resume game

The Blacksmith, who had the role of the huntsman, was wrongfully accused of being the werewolf by the real 
werewolves, led none other by the Charlatan himself. He was promptly sent for execution by the gullible villagers. But in his protest, the Blacksmith furiously unsheathed his new and improved machine gun with the rate of 400 rounds per shot, and proceeded to massacreabsolutely everyone 
in the village.
Reminder #2: The huntsman could only murder one person at a time

The Archmage, who had the role of the witch, had forcibly chanted a Forbidden Spell in the middle of the Night phase and immediately blew up the entire village to their simulated stratosphere. After that the Alchemist, who took the role of the witch in the next round, had drank his Super-Ultimate Max! Potion ( steroid 
, for short) that he had developed through many Night phases
The next morning, the Hulked-out Alchemist was still fighting the werewolves despite having five daggers stabbed into his chest.
The werewolves were, of course, just as tenacious as the innocent characters. Under the leadership of the Devil and the Thane, they left the village, started a cult and amassed a ton of brainwashed followers. When they returned to massacre the villagers, they were instead met with an army of automatons. A bloody battle ensued as if it was a game of Warcraft.
Seeing their advantage in jeopardy, the werewolves had decided to really 
up the ante and improved themselves. Meanwhile, the villagers had used their village as a homebase and expanded their lands into a goddamned empire. Even the simulated game graphics had started morphing into a game of swords and conquest. Later, the two factions were competing on their scientific advancements the two had developed into Star Wars.
No one even remembered how the bloody game was originally played anymore.
It was a good thing that the day had finally broke, which ended the game. When that happened, the werewolves were just about to send in millions of fake accounts and identities into the villagers empire to muddy their election
That morning, Mia was wearing a beautiful pink skirt while Tisdale put on a slimming white dress. The two dressed-up girls propped the half-asleep Attie before Baiyi, waiting for him to bring them out for an excursion.
In their defense, they had 
been stuck in the wild for a long time, so they really wanted to experience civilization again.
So Baiyi took the girls out just as they had wanted and he instantly became the center of attention. People gave either jealous glances or hostile glares, because the girls were just too attention-grabbing for their own good. Mia was sweet and adorable, Tisdale was elegant and poised, while Attie was mysterious and otherworldly. With their individual charms, Baiyi reflected their radiance like the moon reflected sunlight back on Earth.
Now that, was the reward of grooming good girls!
