I endured the humiliation and humiliation while being besieged by the ghost story elder sister.

After all, the staff sent by Ashe had received some training before coming, so there was no need to worry too much.

A short while later, Yashi arrived at the karaoke bar in front of the address that Nozomi had sent her.

But this bizarre decor startled not only Xi Ling and the others when they first saw it, but even Ba Zi couldn't help but wonder if this karaoke place was legitimate.

However, things had come to this point, and she had no other choice. She couldn't very well slink back to the shop now...

With no other option, she took a deep breath and resolutely walked into the shop in front of her.

Then there were those blatantly explicit posters hanging on the walls, and magazines on the bookshelves, which gave me quite a shock.

"Um... excuse me, is this really a legitimate shop?"

She looked at the shop assistant standing behind the counter with some confusion and asked.

"My esteemed guest... don't you think your question is a little impolite?"

Although she said that, the shop assistant still had that professional smile on her face, showing no sign of annoyance whatsoever.

Seeing this, Hachi had no choice but to slink away from the hall and head towards the private room where Hio and the others were.

Unaware of this, Ami, Arisa, and Honoka took turns holding the microphone, either singing solo in the private room or singing a duet with another person.

As for Nozomi, she said she wasn't feeling well and went to the restroom.

Just as he finished cleaning his clothes, which Fanxia had soiled, and stepped out of the men's restroom, he caught a glimpse of a very tall figure peeking out from outside their private room, seemingly doing something.

However, it seems she hasn't realized what she looks like yet.

Thinking of this, Xi Ling couldn't help but smile with a hint of amusement. She slowed her pace and stealthily walked forward.

Then, he suddenly slapped Sister Ba on the back, which startled her greatly.

As Ba Zi subconsciously turned around to see who was so bold as to ambush her, she unexpectedly saw a figure with light golden hair smiling at her, seemingly quite satisfied with her earlier prank.

"Mio? What are you doing here? Shouldn't you be in the private room?" she couldn't help but ask.

"Well~ I just went to the restroom, and when I came out, I saw you here, Hachiko-nee. What a coincidence~"

After saying that, Xi Ling stepped forward, pushed open the door of the private room, and led Sister Ba into the room.

As a result, as soon as she entered the room, she could hear loud music constantly echoing in the room, along with two cheering listeners, providing excellent emotional value.

"This is?"

"Sister Ba, is this your first time at a karaoke bar? This place is for people to sing. There are also snacks on the table, so you can have some to tide you over."

Nozomi glanced discreetly at the seat she had just been sitting in, which was now occupied by the guilty-looking Honoka.

Seeing this, he subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief, and then sat down on the sofa with Sister Ba.

The others, who hadn't expected that Yashiro would also come over, couldn't help but look at the somewhat bewildered Yashiro after hearing the commotion beside them.

"Oh my, Miss Yasushi, what brings you here too?"

Ashi put down the microphone in her hand with some surprise and spoke to her.

"It was Mio who invited me here~ I didn't even know you guys were here."

Chapter Fifty, Eight Characters

"Phew~ Singing here was so enjoyable! I never expected this place to be so fun. If I had known, I would have often invited my friends here to sing and relieve stress."

After paying for the private room at the front desk, Aunt Ashi couldn't help but stretch and said this to the people following behind her.

"Come on, if you and your friends come to karaoke every day, I'll pretend I don't have a mother like you."

Hearing her mother's outrageous remarks, Arisa said irritably from behind, afraid that her mother would really abandon her and go to karaoke every day.

Just as the mother and daughter were bickering, Ximiao looked at her sister Yashiro beside her and asked with some curiosity.

"Sister Baqi, aren't you going to check on the shop? Are you just planning to come home with us like this?"

"Well, after all, the shop assistants that Asumi introduced are all very reliable, so it shouldn't be a problem if I go home early, right?"

She responded in this way, and although she was inevitably a little worried, she suppressed her desire to go back to the shop and put staying by Ximiao's side first.

Upon hearing what Hachiko said, Himiko didn't press for details, but simply nodded and said...

"In that case, let's go back early, take a shower and rest. It's rare to go back so early."

As soon as Xiling finished speaking, she couldn't help but pause, and glared at Fanxia, ​​who was standing on the other side, with a hint of embarrassment and annoyance.

As for the reason... it all started when, just now, while Ximio and Hachiko were talking, my butt was inexplicably pinched.

However, Fanxia chose to ignore Nozomi's annoyed look and leaned close to the boy's ear to speak softly.

"Want to take a bath with me later, Mio? Ever since that night, I've learned some new tricks that I plan to use in places I haven't tried much yet."

"……don't want."

Ximiao was speechless at first, and then without thinking, she refused Fanxia's invitation and silently moved closer to Yashiro.

Soon, the group returned to the gate of the mansion along the road.

With practiced ease, Ximiao took out the key from under the carpet and opened the door.

After taking off their shoes, they went into the living room, each took a cushion, sat down at the table, and started watching TV.

Even Sister Ba couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, saying she needed to rest for a while before taking a hot bath to relax.

"By the way, now that you don't need to stay in the general store so often, what are your plans?"

Aunt Ashi looked at the tall girl opposite her with some curiosity, wondering what she was going to do next.

Upon hearing Asumi ask her this question, Hachiko didn't think too much and simply replied.

"At least during this summer vacation, I want to spend some quality time with Ximiao and make up for the time he was away from here."

As she said this, she subconsciously looked at the well-behaved boy sitting next to her, her sharp eyes seeming as if she wanted to devour him completely.

Unaware of this, Xi Ling couldn't help but shiver, feeling somewhat bewildered, as if she were being watched by something.

After an unknown amount of time, just as Ximiao was sitting in the living room, feeling drowsy from playing too much, she suddenly felt someone poke her waist.

This made him a little more awake, but only enough for him to barely turn his head to see what the Eighth Sister, who was poking him, wanted to do.

Then he heard Sister Yashiro urging, "Come on, Mio~ Let's go to the bathroom for a hot bath, and you can take a nap while you're soaking in the hot water~"

"Hmm? Oh... I'll go now."

then.

Urged on by Hachi-nee and under the amused gazes of the other three, Hime slowly stood up and followed Hachi-nee into the bathroom.

As Xi Ling slowly removed her clothes one by one, her fair and smooth skin shone brightly under the light.

However, because drowsiness kept creeping into his head, he failed to notice that Sister Ba Zi was still motionless, her beautiful eyes fixed on the boy in front of her.

"Mio~ Has anyone ever told you that your unguarded side is actually quite addictive?"

"Eh?"

Before Xi Ling could understand what Ba Zijie meant, he felt a pair of warm, jade-like hands suddenly climb onto his shoulders.

Then came that soft, yet oppressive ball of flesh, which landed heavily on Ximiao's head, leaving her frozen in place, too afraid to move an inch.

Seeing that Xi Ling did not resist, the corners of Ya Zi's mouth could not help but turn up slightly, and her jade hands, which were wandering on his skin, became more and more audacious.

Just as that slender arm was about to touch something it shouldn't have, Xi Ling suddenly slapped away Ba Zi's hands, took a few steps forward, and then turned around, looking at Ba Zi, who was still standing there in a daze, with a look of lingering fear.

Under her teasing, Xi Ling, who was originally a little drowsy, instantly became clear-headed, and stared at the tall woman in front of him like a frightened fawn.

"Sister Baqi... what were you doing just now?"

"Hmm? Let me check your body, Mio?"

She reached out and stroked her smooth chin, looking at Xi Ling with a playful expression. The feeling she gave Xi Ling was completely different from the kind and amiable Eighth Sister she usually was.

This also sent a chill down Ximiao's spine.

"Isn't this kind of thing... a bit inappropriate?"

"Why? Didn't you start this whole thing, Mio? And if I want to take it to the next level, wasn't that also you pushing me along from behind?"

She suddenly stepped forward, looking down at the boy beneath her. In Ba Zi's eyes, with just a thought from her, Xi Ling would be as powerless as a lamb, completely at her mercy.

But that's not what she really wants. She wants to be like Arisa and Honoka, to make Nozomi willingly... do that kind of thing.

Upon hearing Hachi's question, Hiyo, who was about to say something, suddenly found herself unable to utter the words she was about to say and had to swallow them back down.

"So... what exactly do you want by bringing this up, Hachi-nee?" Himo asked with a hint of helplessness.

"I hope you'll treat me the way you treat Arisa or Hoka, even if it's just this once, okay?"

"..."

As Xi Ling nodded slightly, Ya Zi suppressed her excitement, took off all her clothes, and then eagerly led Xi Ling into the bathroom further inside.

He sat on the small stool, looking somewhat uneasy, his mind constantly preoccupied with what Sister Ba was going to do next.

To his surprise, after hearing Sister Ba walk in barefoot, she sat down on the small stool behind him, turned on the hot water, and let it spray on the two of them.

The moment that warm, jade-like hand touched Xi Ling's body, the boy trembled involuntarily, causing even the Eighth Sister to be momentarily stunned.

"What's wrong?"

"No, it's nothing..."

Ximiao quickly lowered her head, not daring to turn around and look directly into Hachi's eyes.

He didn't know why, but even though he had been honest with Sister Baqi many times before, this time he felt extremely nervous.

Soon, as usual, she squeezed the shower gel into her palm and then evenly applied it to Ximiao's skin. In no time, Ximiao's body was covered with dense foam.

This was just like the usual steps of taking a bath, which made Ximiao a little confused. What was Hachiko up to?

Even after both of them had washed themselves clean, Hachiko still hadn't made a move, making Himiko impatient and restless.

"Sister Baqi... what happened to you..."

“Can’t wait any longer?”

The two stood by the bathtub, and Hachiko, with a hint of amusement, looked at Himeko beside him, who was full of questions, and couldn't help but chuckle mischievously.

"..."
