"Commander, are you afraid?"

It would be a lie to say I wasn't scared, after all, this is Taihou.

But upon closer reflection, Shen Xin suddenly realized what was going on.

Wait a minute, I don't think I've had much interaction with Taihou.

From the very beginning when I arrived in Sakura Empire, aside from the time I and Taihou were at the home of the four sisters in Kaohsiung, we experienced an attack.

After that, things seemed to go quite smoothly between me and Da Feng, and nothing unpleasant happened.

so.....

Shen Xin composed herself and slowly turned her head to look.

Although the light was dim, Taihou's facial features were still clearly visible.

I thought I would be startled by Da Feng dressed as a ghost, but upon closer inspection I realized that although Da Feng was dressed as a ghost, she did not wear overly exaggerated makeup.

She only symbolically wore a ghostly headdress, and then she was left with only a very thin, even semi-transparent, white robe.

Yes, with only a semi-transparent white long shirt, even if it's called cosplay, it would be criticized as being too perfunctory.

It's hard to say that Taihou's current state is meant to scare him; more accurately, it seems like she wants to have something happen between them.

After her recent encounter with Atago, Shen Xin was mentally prepared.

It's more accurate to call it a physical fitness test than a test of courage.

"So, Commander..."

The giant phoenix slowly approached me in a crawling motion.

Here it comes.........

Shen Xin instinctively gripped the edge of her pants with both hands, ready to draw her sword at any moment.

"Let's...swap items!"

"exchange?"

This sentence left Shen Xin completely bewildered.

What's going on here? What kind of exchange is this?

"Ah, Commander, don't you know? Our Sakura Empire tradition is that loved ones exchange their precious things. However, Taihou doesn't like to keep a diary, and I don't think Commander has the habit of keeping a diary either, so let's make do with this~ It just proves that Commander has passed Taihou's test."

As she spoke, Da Feng quickly stood up, and with a flick of her little finger, deactivated her equipment.

"You, you wear your pantyhose straight on???"

Shen Xin was stunned.

"Yes, do you like it?" Da Feng tilted her head and asked with a smile.

"Ah...this..." Shen Xin took the basic equipment from Da Feng, feeling awkward and unsure of what to say.

"Then~ Commander, give your equipment to Taihou as well~"

"Eh???"

Shen Xin then realized that this was how item exchange worked!

No, in other words, in the end, you still have to take your pants off! There's no difference.

Seeing Da Feng's smile, Shen Xin hesitated for only a second before easily removing her equipment with a push of her hands.

"Ah, okay, okay! Just wait~"

There's not much time or room for hesitation anymore.

Shen Xin knew that Da Feng was being so sincere, so she certainly couldn't let him down.

Da Feng accepted it with great joy, and you could feel her hands trembling slightly.

I really want to, I really want to take a puff right now.

But Da Feng managed to hold back.

That's...that's all?

Shen Xin was both curious and puzzled.

This is completely different from what I imagined! Wait, what happened to the promised perks? What happened to the promised battle scenes? I've already gotten all the gear, and this is what I'm getting?

"Mmm~ That's great~ Oh, by the way~ Taifeng will tell you a little secret~"

Da Feng slowly crawled to Shen Xin's ear and whispered...

"If you attach Taihou's equipment to your face, it can ward off evil spirits~"

“............” Shen Xin frowned, feeling that this woman was deceiving her.

"Are you... are you sure?" Shen Xin asked casually, not intending to take this seriously.

"Believe it or not~ But, the female ghosts of Sakura Empire generally don't attack people who are in relationships, especially men who have a strong feminine scent~"

Shen Xin thought for a moment,

The statement about discovering Taifeng is indeed quite reasonable.

"Okay, I got it. I'll give it a try later."

Shen Xin nodded seriously.

"I should probably head back now. Noshiro is still waiting for me outside. By the way, Taihou, could you tell me the exit of this building?"

"Turn left after you get off the elevator, and it's the third room."

"Thank you~"

Shen Xin lost interest and felt that her most urgent task was to leave this place as soon as possible.

"puff....."

Watching Shen Xin's somewhat dejected figure disappear into the distance, Da Feng smiled knowingly, then pressed the device on her earlobe.

"Alright, dear Commander, that's over. Now, it's your turn to take action~"

Following Da Feng's instructions, Shen Xin opened the door after repeatedly confirming the details.

The moment Shen Xin caught sight of that familiar silhouette, she instinctively turned around and tried to escape.

But the moment the door was kicked shut, a sense of despair immediately overwhelmed him.

His arms were taken away from him, and he was held tightly in a hug.

Then, on her neck and cheek, she felt the nose rubbing against her skin and rapid breathing blowing on her skin.

Akagi was desperately sniffing his own scent.

It seems I'm going to be executed on the spot by Akagi again today.

Shen Xin was actually somewhat relieved that she had just escaped the failed operation; her desire to run away was a subconscious stress response of her body.

After all, he had been imprisoned by Akagi before, so it was inevitable that he would have thoughts of running away when he saw Akagi.

But now that she's truly in Akagi's grasp, Shen Xin is actually starting to look forward to it.

How will Akagi deal with him? With his mouth? His hands? His feet? Or some other method?

The ambiguous, half-hearted interaction between Shen Xin and Da Feng had already made her unhappy, so Chi Cheng's arrival was perfectly timed.

Just as Shen Xin was feeling that she was getting into the swing of things, she suddenly felt the physical distance between herself and Chi Cheng increase.

"That's it? That's it???" Shen Xin was a little curious, and a feeling of disappointment quickly took over her mind.

"You're not getting any more treatments? It's over?"

Wait a minute, she just smelled herself and that was it? Is this really something Akagi would do?

There are some things I don't understand or comprehend; what happened tonight was too strange.

If I had to say something, it would be that these ship girls' behavior is very abnormal. I don't know if they did it on purpose or if it was all required by Noshiro's script.

"Alright~ Level completion reward~"

Chicheng didn't say much, and seemed too lazy to explain. She bent down slightly, pushed with both hands, and smoothly removed the white stockings from her legs, handing them to Shen Xin.

"This...this doesn't taste right?" Shen Xin subconsciously sniffed it and tilted her head curiously.

"You actually smelled it?" Akagi asked in surprise.

"Of course, this is clearly not Chi Cheng's foot smell. I know your smell too well, it's etched into my DNA. I remember this smell, but it's definitely not Chi Cheng's..." Shen Xin frowned seriously and began to search her memory.

"Want to know whose it is?" Akagi suddenly leaned close to Shen Xin's ear and blew a breath.

It was itchy, but very comfortable, which made Shen Xin's heart flutter. She gritted her teeth.

"think......"

"This belongs to Shoukaku~"

"Ah, this... but why?" Shen Xin was somewhat surprised, but ultimately did not ask on the spot.

However, looking at Akagi's smug expression, he could roughly guess seven or eight parts of the truth.

This should be Akagi's act of revenge against Shoukaku.

Since they're after excitement, they might as well go all the way. If Shoukaku knew that Akagi had worn his socks and made them into his collection, he would probably be completely overwhelmed.

"Chicheng hasn't changed at all," Shen Xin couldn't help but sigh.

“Um…Akagi…” Shen Xin stammered, rubbing her hands together.

"Can you tell me how to leave this place?"

"Oh, sure. Once you're outside, walk back and count to the fourth room you reach, and you'll be able to leave."

"You, you're not lying to me, are you?" Shen Xin was somewhat skeptical.

"What do you think?" Chi Cheng lifted Shen Xin's chin with a smile.

Seeing Akagi happily twitching her fox ears, Shen Xin sighed and decided to trust her one more time.

Not daring to linger for too long, Shen Xin immediately rushed out of the room.

"Although I'm very reluctant, there's nothing I can do. After all, I've participated in this project. Rules are rules, and I still have to abide by them."

As Shen Xin's footsteps faded into the distance, Chi Cheng chuckled softly.

"It's up to you now, Shuten-dōji~"

Chapter 130: The Snow Woman's Ring, After Shuten-dōji, It's Hachisakani no Hitoshi.

Dragging her weary body, Shen Xin staggered to the room Akagi had indicated. The moment she opened the door, Shen Xin sighed, overwhelmed by a sense of despair.

This isn't an exit at all; it's a bar counter.

Sure enough, you can't believe a single word the fox says; it's all a lie!

Although the sight of a bar in this dilapidated house seemed absurd, after so much had happened tonight, Shen Xin felt that nothing she saw would seem strange anymore, so she decided to just accept it.

I was really tired, so I sat down on the swivel chair at the bar.

While waiting for the waiter to arrive and mix myself a drink, I initially wanted a glass of milk, but then I suddenly thought that a glass of "water of life" made with oolong tea might not be so bad.

If I pass out drunk, and wake up, I might be safely taken to the school gate, just like before. That would actually be a good thing.

However, there were no waiters, but a cocktail was indeed pushed towards me.

"Have a drink~ It's on me~"

It's a falcon.

Shen Xin didn't bother to think about it anymore, picked up the cup and drank it all in one gulp.

I smacked my lips and found that there was no taste of alcohol, only a faint carbonation and sparkling water flavor, sweet and surprisingly quite delicious.

"Does it taste good? Does it warm you up a bit?"

"Ah..." Shen Xin responded weakly.

Indeed, without that drink, I probably would have frozen to death. After all, I was only wearing shorts on my lower body, and even my undergarments had been taken by Daifeng...

Resting her head on her hand, Shen Xin sighed.
