My and Their Anime-Style Otherworldly Survival Adventure

"Thank you then. Actually, I've been thinking about this for a while. Having a legal identity would definitely make things much easier. But going to school and working is out of the question. Actually, I recently wrote a light novel and I'm planning to submit it for publication." Jiu Xiao scratched his head and gave a shy smile.

P.S.: On a side note, isn't QB's ability to transform human souls into gems somewhat similar to the "Third Law" in "Type-Moon"? After all, both involve the materialization of souls...

Chapter 167 Homura Akemi Outside the Door

A hint of surprise and admiration flashed in Kaname's eyes: "Light novels? I never knew you, Kusho-kun, had such talent! It's truly impressive." She smiled and nodded, continuing, "Since you have such a plan, then Auntie will support you even more. I know a few friends in publishing houses who can introduce you; perhaps they can be of help. If it's convenient, could I take a look first?"

Jiuxiao had planned this all along. He took out a stack of printed manuscripts from his bag and handed them to Kaname Shunko.

Upon receiving the manuscript, a hint of curiosity and anticipation flashed in Kaname's eyes. She gently turned to the first page and began to read carefully. Kusho waited quietly to the side, his heart pounding with trepidation. Although he was confident in the work (after all, it was plagiarized), he couldn't help feeling a little nervous facing his future mother-in-law.

Time passed slowly in silence. Kaname's expression gradually changed from calm to focused, and she would even occasionally show a slight smile or nod.

Madoka and Homura Akemi had just finished showering and were wearing comfortable nightgowns, drying their hair as they walked into the living room. Seeing Kaname Yuuko engrossed in reading something, Madoka curiously approached her: "Mommy, what are you reading?"

Without looking up, Kaname Shunko replied, "Yeah, I'm reading a light novel by Kusho-kun... Don't bother me, I'm just getting to the exciting part." Her tone was somewhat perfunctory, clearly indicating that she was already engrossed in the story.

Xiaoyuan looked surprised and turned to look at Jiuxiao, her eyes sparkling with admiration: "Jiuxiao-kun, you can write light novels? That's amazing!" As she spoke, she moved closer to Kaname Junko, trying to peek at the contents.

Although Homura Akemi didn't speak, her gaze fell on Kyuu, a hint of relief flashing in her eyes. It seemed that Kyuu had listened to her and hadn't chosen to stay at home, wasting his life.

Madoka leaned close to the manuscript in Kaname's hand, a drop of water running down her forehead and landing on the page. Kaname snapped out of her reverie, looked up at Madoka's wet hair, frowned, and said, "Madoka, you're running around with your hair still wet. Be careful not to catch a cold."

Xiaoyuan stuck out her tongue and quickly dried her head with a towel. Seeing this, Kaname raised an eyebrow at Jiuxiao and said, "Jiuxiao-kun, go to the bathroom and help Xiaoyuan dry her hair. This child can be quite a handful sometimes."

Jiuxiao immediately stood up and went to Xiaoyuan's side. At first, the girl was a little shy, after all, in front of so many people. But how could she resist Jiuxiao? She was dragged and pulled into the bathroom. Akemi Homura also followed, standing at the bathroom door with her arms crossed, her eyes filled with vigilance, afraid that he would do something bad to Xiaoyuan.

Amidst the hum of the hairdryer, Xiaoyuan tilted her head slightly, revealing her long, fair neck with a hint of pale pink. Jiuxiao swallowed hard; if it weren't for Akemi Homura's watchful gaze, he would have loved to gently kiss her...

But he restrained himself and focused intently on drying Xiaoyuan's hair. Jiuxiao gently ran his fingers through her hair, his movements tender and meticulous, but his gaze grew increasingly intense, as if he wanted to see right through her (in a physical sense).

Xiao Yuan's cheeks flushed slightly. Girls are always particularly sensitive in this regard. She could feel the burning gaze coming from Jiu Xiao behind her, and her heart involuntarily quickened. Xiao Yuan lowered her eyes, and the blush spread from her face to her ears. The atmosphere in the bathroom became somewhat ambiguous due to the subtle interaction between the two, and even the air seemed to be filled with a faint sweetness.

Homura Akemi wore a cold expression, feeling extremely irritated, unsure of who she was actually envying. Thankfully, her phone rang just in time, giving her an excuse to leave; otherwise, her sour feeling would have been impossible to hide.

Quickly pulling out her phone, Homura glanced at the screen, her brows relaxing, and said softly, "I'm going outside to take this call." Without waiting for the two to hear her, she turned and left the bathroom.

Noticing Homura Akemi's departure, Kyuuyou could no longer suppress his impulse. He gently blew a breath into Madoka's ear, the burning sensation traveling from her earlobe all the way down her spine. Madoka involuntarily shuddered, as if struck by an electric current, her body trembling slightly, and she let out a cute, coquettish cry: "Ah~! Kyuuyou-kun... what are you doing?"

Jiu Xiao's lips curled up slightly, a sly glint in his eyes. He said in a low voice, "Xiao Yuan, do you know? The way you look right now is really tempting." His voice was deep and magnetic, with a hint of seduction, as if he was deliberately teasing Xiao Yuan's senses.

Madoka quickly looked around, afraid that Homura Akemi might suddenly return, or that someone else might barge in.

"I...I'm warning you not to do anything reckless, Xiaoyan might be right at the door, um..."

Before Xiaoyuan could finish speaking, Jiuxiao had already pressed against her. The warm touch made her lose her mind instantly, and she could only collapse into Jiuxiao's arms, letting him do as he pleased.

After a long while, their lips parted, and Jiu Xiao wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth, grinning mischievously, "Xiao Yuan, did you sneak a bite of strawberry cake after dinner? It smelled like cream."

Xiao Yuan was filled with shame and indignation, and the blush on her cheeks deepened. She gently pounded Jiu Xiao's chest, her voice tinged with a hint of coquettishness: "Jiu Xiao Jun, you're so bad! How could you do this..." Her voice grew softer and softer, almost inaudible.

Jiu Xiao laughed heartily, grabbed Xiao Yuan's wrist, pulled her closer, and said softly with a hint of teasing in his eyes, "Xiao Yuan, do you know? The more shy you are, the more I want to tease you." His voice was deep and gentle, as if it carried some kind of irresistible magic.

Xiao Yuan's heart pounded even faster. She felt her cheeks burning hot, almost hot enough to fry an egg, and her ears were as red as if they were about to bleed. She lowered her eyes, not daring to look directly into Jiu Xiao's burning gaze, and whispered, "Jiu Xiao Jun, please don't... Xiao Yan might come back at any time..."

Jiu Xiao didn't seem to mind. Instead, he moved even closer to her, his breath brushing against her ear with a hint of teasing: "Didn't Xiao Yan go to answer the phone? We have plenty of time..." His fingers gently stroked Xiao Yuan's cheek, the warmth of his fingertips making her tremble involuntarily.

Xiaoyuan tried to back away, but found her back pressed against the bathroom wall, with nowhere to retreat. She placed her hands on Jiuxiao's chest, trying to push him away, but her strength was insignificant compared to his. Her voice was tinged with panic and shyness: "Jiuxiao-jun, you...you mustn't do anything rash, I'll really get angry..."

Looking at her flustered and shy appearance, Jiu Xiao's smile deepened. He lowered his head, gently kissed her forehead, and said softly, "Xiao Yuan, do you know? You're also cute when you're angry."

Finding her opportunity, Xiaoyuan shoved Jiuxiao aside, quickly straightened her disheveled clothes, and her face still flushed. She snatched the hairdryer from Jiuxiao's hand, its buzzing sound echoing in the bathroom, as if to bolster her courage. While drying her hair, she kept a wary eye on Jiuxiao, afraid he might do something inappropriate again. Jiuxiao, meanwhile, leaned against the door, arms crossed, an expression of keen interest on his face, his gaze never leaving Xiaoyuan.

"Xiao Yuan, you really don't need to be so nervous," Jiu Xiao said with a smile, his voice tinged with a hint of teasing. "I'm not going to eat you."

Xiao Yuan glared at him, her tone carrying a hint of warning: "Jiuxiao Jun, please keep your distance, or I'll really get angry."

Jiu Xiao shrugged and said innocently, "I just wanted to help you blow-dry your hair. You're reacting so strongly, it makes me sound like a bad guy."

Xiao Yuan snorted, turned her head away, and ignored him, continuing to focus on drying her hair. As she dried, she realized something was wrong; it seemed like she hadn't taken a proper bath... She squeezed her legs together tightly, wishing she could disappear into the ground.

Just then, Homura Akemi pushed open the bathroom door, holding her phone, clearly having just ended a call. Seeing this, Madoka quickly shoved the hairdryer at Kyuu, saying in embarrassment and indignation, "Kyuu, Kyuu-kun, go outside and dry Homura's hair. I, I'll just rinse it off!" Without giving Kyuu a chance to react, Madoka pushed him and Homura out, quickly closing the bathroom door and even locking it.

Homura Akemi was confused. Looking at Kushou, who had been pushed in front of her, she frowned slightly and asked with a hint of doubt, "What happened? Did you do something to Madoka?"

Jiu Xiao shrugged and said dismissively, "What are you talking about? I'm a gentleman, how could I possibly do anything to Xiao Yuan?" Jiu Xiao spread his hands innocently, but his eyes flashed with a hint of cunning that was hard to detect.

Homura Akemi scoffed, clearly not entirely believing Kyuu's words. However, she didn't press further, instead shifting her attention to the hair dryer in Kyuu's hand, her meaning clear.

Jiu Xiao, being a sensible man, immediately understood. With a forceful push, he pressed Akemi Homura onto the chair in the bathroom stall, muttering, "Come, come, let this gentleman serve you, I guarantee you'll be satisfied. Speaking of which, Homura's hair is so soft and smooth, it's truly irresistible." As he spoke, Jiu Xiao gently combed Akemi Homura's hair with his hands, his movements gentle and practiced.

Akemi Homura closed her eyes slightly, enjoying Jiuxiao's service, feeling an indescribable sense of comfort. Her hair was very long, and it took a long time to dry. Jiuxiao's technique was indeed excellent, making her feel relaxed.

Xiaoyuan finished showering again and came out of the bathroom wrapped in a towel. Xiaomeiyan quickly covered Jiuxiao's eyes and chased him out of the changing room.

Jiuxiao was on the verge of tears. Even a gentleman like you would be wary? I really don't understand what you magical women (not really) are thinking about all day long!

Back in the living room, Kaname Shunko had already read most of the manuscript. She looked up at Jiuxiao, her eyes full of admiration: "Jiuxiao-kun, did you really write this? The writing is fluent, the plot is tight, and the character portrayals are very vivid. It's truly a revelation!" Kaname Shunko put down the manuscript, a satisfied smile on her face.

Jiuxiao's eyes darted around, his heart pounding. After all, this was his first time being a "plagiarist," and he couldn't quite accept Kaname's praise. But on the surface, he remained as composed as ever. He smiled humbly and said, "Not at all, it was just something I wrote casually. It's truly an honor to receive your approval."

Kaname nodded and continued, "But why did you make the protagonist have dead fish eyes? Is there a deeper meaning to that?"

Jiuxiao scratched his head. "That's a good question. Don't ask it again. He's not some old scoundrel like Watari; what does he know about 'Oregairu'?"

"Well, please allow me to keep this a secret for now. After all, the charm of a story lies in its suspense." Jiu Xiao smiled awkwardly, trying to evade the question. He couldn't very well say that he had simply copied the setting without considering any deeper meaning, could he?

Kaname Shunko didn't ask any more questions. She smiled and nodded, indicating her understanding of Kyuu's answer.

“Alright, since you put it that way, I’ll look forward to how things develop. In my opinion, this novel has a high commercial value, and publication is definitely not a problem. I’ll contact a few editors I know tomorrow and try my best to secure the best possible publishing terms.” Kaname Shunko stood up, walked over to Jiuxiao, patted him on the shoulder, and spoke with encouragement and anticipation.

Jiu Xiao breathed a sigh of relief, secretly rejoicing that he had successfully fooled them. Xiao Yuan and Xiao Mei Yan also came out of the bathroom. Xiao Yuan's face was still flushed from the shower. When she saw Jiu Xiao, she instinctively looked away and dared not meet his eyes.

Kaname stretched and, after assigning rooms to Kyuu and Akemi Homura, prepared to go back to her room to rest. As she reached the door, she turned back to the others and instructed, "Don't stay out too late, okay? Lack of sleep is the enemy of beauty." Kaname finished speaking half-jokingly and then closed the door.

When it comes to staying overnight at a friend's house, how can you miss playing cards? In Xiaoyuan's boudoir, the three of them sat on the floor. At this moment, the girls' faces were covered with notes, and they were looking at Jiuxiao with resentful expressions.

The three of them were sitting together playing a game of drawing ghost movies. Jiu Xiao was having an exceptionally good run of luck tonight and hadn't lost a single time.

Xiao Yuan glared angrily at Jiu Xiao, the note on her face swaying gently with her movements: "Jiu Xiao Jun, are you cheating? How is it possible that you never draw the Joker card!"

Jiu Xiao glanced at Xiao Yuan, a smug smile playing on his lips. He shook the cards in his hand and said innocently, "Xiao Yuan, you can't blame me for this. Luck is part of skill, you know." He then winked deliberately, looking particularly irritating.

Homura Akemi reached up and tidied the note on her face, sighing helplessly, "Madoka, your thoughts are too easy to guess. Based on your reactions, Kusho can easily avoid the Joker every time."

Hearing Homura's words, Madoka's face showed a defiant expression. She pouted and retorted, "No way! I was already very careful. It's just that Kyuu-kun is too cunning!" As she spoke, she reached out to grab Kyuu-kun's arm, as if trying to wrest some dignity back from him.

Chapter 168 A Real "Catching a Woman in Bed"

Jiuxiao laughed and dodged Xiaoyuan's hand, then glared at Akemi Homura as if she were angry. "Homura, even if you see through me, we can still be good friends. Besides, didn't you use this trait of Xiaoyuan to successfully avoid the Joker several times?"

Madoka looked at Homura Akemi in disbelief, a hint of betrayal in her eyes: "Homura, you did this too!" Her voice rose slightly, clearly dissatisfied with the "coincidence" of her two friends.

Naive Xiaoyuan thought her constant losses were just due to bad luck, never imagining there were so many twists and turns involved. If this were on another set, she'd probably get a couple of bags of sunflower seeds.

Homura Akemi felt a rare hint of embarrassment when Madoka stared at her. She coughed lightly, trying to explain, "Madoka, it's just a game. Look, I have quite a few notes stuck on my face too." She pointed to her "trophies" on her face, attempting to ease the tension.

Seeing this, Jiuxiao quickly chimed in, "Yeah, yeah, Xiaoyuan, it's just a game, don't take it too seriously. If it really doesn't work, we can always find another way to play."

Xiaoyuan hadn't taken the game too seriously; she just felt a little wronged, thinking she'd been "tricked" by her two friends. She glanced at the clock on the wall and realized it was getting late.

Xiaoyuan stood up, patted the wrinkles on her nightgown, and although she still looked a little resentful, her earlier grievances were gone. She looked at Jiuxiao and Xiaomeiyan, a slight smile appearing on her lips: "Alright, it's getting late, everyone should get some rest. I'll let you off the hook for today, but next time it won't be so easy!"

Jiu Xiao's lips twitched. He hadn't expected to hear such a standard villainous declaration from Xiao Yuan. He stood up, stretched, and kept giving Xiao Yuan meaningful glances, his intentions obvious.

Xiao Yuan shook her head repeatedly; she knew all too well what mischief Jiu Xiao was plotting.

Seeing that there was no hope, Jiuxiao had no choice but to make a strategic retreat. But given his SLP-like personality, he certainly wouldn't let such a good opportunity pass him by. The reason he left so decisively was simply to show Homura Akemi, so that she wouldn't keep up the high guard, and at the same time to lull Madoka into a false sense of security, making it easier for her to launch a "night raid" in the middle of the night.

Since she was his girlfriend anyway, Jiu Xiao didn't think there was anything wrong with his plan. He waved to Xiao Yuan and said casually, "Okay, Xiao Yuan, goodnight! See you tomorrow!" After saying that, he turned and walked towards his room, but a sly smile appeared on his lips as he began to plan his "operation" in the middle of the night.

Xiao Yuan watched Jiu Xiao's departing figure, feeling a vague unease in her heart, mainly because he left too decisively this time, which was not like his usual style at all.

Seeing Jiuxiao leave, Homura Akemi also got up to leave, but Madoka stopped her, saying she had a lot to say to Homura. Homura couldn't refuse Madoka's invitation and, still half-asleep, was pulled onto the Simmons mattress...

Jiu Xiao lay alone in bed, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep. He finally made it to the middle of the night, and estimating that it was about time, he quietly got out of bed and crept towards Xiao Yuan's room.

With a gentle push, the door opened. Jiu Xiao breathed a sigh of relief; thankfully, it wasn't locked from the inside, or he would have made a wasted trip. The room was pitch black, so dark you couldn't see your hand in front of your face. Jiu Xiao held his breath, tiptoed to the bedside, and with a somersault, slipped under the covers.

He grabbed the person in front of him and was about to wake them up when he realized something was wrong with the feel of their arms...

Peace, all is well!

Cold sweat trickled down his forehead. After carefully recalling the situation and confirming that he hadn't gone to the wrong room, Jiu Xiao's heart pounded, and countless terrifying thoughts flashed through his mind. He wanted to pull his hand back, pretend nothing had happened, and silently leave the room.

However, just as he was about to quietly slip away, Jiu Xiao felt his hand suddenly being grasped. He panicked and, without thinking, his body moved on its own.

Jiuxiao suddenly pulled her, and Akemi Homura, caught off guard, was flipped over and pressed tightly against his chest. Without giving her a chance to speak, Jiuxiao sealed her lips with a kiss.

Akemi Yan had actually been awake since the moment Jiu Xiao touched her. She thought her house had been burgled and was preparing to fight back. The familiar scent made her realize instantly that it was Jiu Xiao. She wanted to push him away, but Jiu Xiao moved too quickly. The sudden touch on her lips made her freeze for a moment, and her body seemed to be frozen in place, unable to move.

Homura Akemi's pupils dilated instantly, countless thoughts churning in her mind, her breathing becoming rapid, and her heart pounding like a drum in her chest. She had never imagined things would develop this way. The aura of the Nine Heavens was so close, carrying a hint of aggression, yet mixed with a familiar warmth, leaving her momentarily unable to think, even forgetting to resist.

Nine Heavens was getting increasingly outrageous, and its claws were becoming restless...

He finally understood that he was going to die anyway, so he might as well play along and take advantage of the situation first.

Akemi Homura's body stiffened for a moment, but quickly, her reason regained control. She had intended to bite down hard on the foreign object in her mouth to teach Jiuxiao a lesson, but when she actually put her mouth down, the force involuntarily softened.

Even so, Jiuxiao gasped in pain and instinctively released Xiaomei Yan. He covered his mouth, a hint of panic flashing in his eyes, but he didn't choose to sit and wait for his fate. Instead, he asked knowingly, "Oh dear, Xiaoyuan, we're an old married couple, why are you still so shy?"

Jiu Xiao lowered his voice and his acting was very realistic. If the full score was 100, he would give himself 99 points. The remaining 1 point was to prevent himself from becoming arrogant.

To be honest, Homura Akemi was taken aback by Kusho's act of feigning ignorance.

'So, the target wasn't me after all...'

Thinking of this, a complex look flashed in Homura Akemi's eyes, and an inexplicable emotion welled up in her heart. Her tense body relaxed slightly, but deep inside, it felt as if something had gently pricked her, causing a dull pain.

She wanted to expose Jiu Xiao's trick directly and tell him that she wasn't Xiao Yuan, but Akemi Homura. But the words caught in her throat, and she hesitated. She didn't know why she was like this. She should be angry, she should push him away immediately, or even slap him, but she couldn't make up her mind.

Unlike the last time when Jiuxiao forcibly kissed her to save Akemi Homura, she could convince herself that it was an emergency. But this time, Jiuxiao's actions made her realize that she could no longer use any excuse to hide her true feelings.

Homura Akemi was caught in an unprecedented internal conflict. Judging from Madoka's actions, she undoubtedly liked Jiuxiao. Did her current hesitation and indecision mean that she also had feelings for Jiuxiao that went beyond friendship? She dared not think about it too much, nor did she want to admit it.

Homura Akemi's thoughts were a tangled mess, impossible to unravel. The scent of Kyuuhou still lingered around her nose, carrying a temperature that made her uneasy. She pressed her fingertips against Kyuuhou's chest, feeling his strong, powerful heartbeat, as if it were silently telling her something.

This is a complete mess! Continuing to remain silent and pretending not to know anything seems to be the best option.

Jiuxiao noticed that Akemi Homura was hesitating and was secretly pleased, thinking that he had successfully fooled her. However, as expected, an unexpected event soon occurred.

Madoka rubbed her eyes, vaguely sensing someone speaking. She slowly opened her eyes, but all she could see was darkness. However, she could vaguely sense Homura Akemi straightening up.

'Did I have a nightmare?'

Xiao Yuan muttered to herself as she reached out to turn on the light. Her fingers groped in the darkness until she finally touched the light switch by the bedside.

The two, caught in the tug-of-war, were completely unaware that Madoka had awakened, until a "snap" sound filled the room with light. The sudden light startled both Kyuu and Homura Akemi, freezing them in place as if they had been immobilized.

Xiaoyuan blinked, and after her eyes adjusted to the light, she could finally see the scene before her—Jiuxiao and Akemi Homura were standing very close, with Homura's hand resting on Jiuxiao's chest, while Jiuxiao looked bewildered, a hint of panic in his eyes. A subtle atmosphere filled the air, as if even breathing had become cautious.

"What...are you doing?" Xiaoyuan's voice, filled with a mixture of confusion and disbelief, broke the silence in the room.

Jiuxiao was startled, and even "Little Jiuxiao" shrank back. He really didn't expect Xiaoyuan to wake up at this time, let alone that she would witness this scene. He subconsciously moved back, trying to create some distance, but Akemi Homura's fingers were still pressed against his chest, as if silently reminding him how absurd his actions had been.

"I...I just..." Jiu Xiao opened his mouth, but found that he couldn't find a reasonable explanation at all. His mind went blank, and he could only sit awkwardly on the edge of the bed, his eyes darting around, not daring to look Xiao Yuan in the eye.

Homura Akemi quickly withdrew her hand, her face showing panic, and her ears turning slightly red. She hurriedly explained, "Madoka, don't misunderstand, Kushou came to see you, I just... I just..."

At this point, Homura Akemi couldn't continue. She realized how weak and ineffective her explanation sounded, especially in this situation. Her mind was a mess, and she couldn't find a suitable excuse to cover up what had just happened.

Xiaoyuan's gaze darted back and forth between the two, her brows furrowing slightly, as she vaguely guessed the truth of the matter. She hadn't expected Jiuxiao to be so bold; she had clearly rejected his advances before, yet he persisted, and now he had conveniently stumbled into Akemi Homura's arms...

When Madoka noticed Homura's slightly swollen lips and reddened ears, and recalling the scene where the two had been so close just moments before, she immediately understood seven or eight parts of the situation. She had reason to believe... no! She was absolutely certain that Kyuu had realized from the very beginning that he had the wrong person!

But he still made his move—no, it looks like he bit her. Remembering what Jiu Xiao had confessed to her in the kitchen that night, Xiao Yuan's cheeks flushed. She bit her lower lip, feeling both angry and helpless.

Gently pulling Homura Akemi into her arms, Madoka helped her slowly stand up and comforted her, saying, "Homura, you don't need to say anything. I know it must be Jiuxiao-kun's fault." As she spoke, Madoka led Homura Akemi to the other side of the bed, as if to completely separate them from Jiuxiao.

Jiuxiao knelt down on the ground, his forehead pressed against the bed sheet, wishing he could find a crack to crawl into.

"Red bean paste, private Marseille!" Jiu Xiao's voice was muffled by the sheets, his hands clenched tightly, his knuckles white, clearly restraining something.

Akemi Homura breathed a sigh of relief. Thankfully, Madoka didn't press the matter further, otherwise she really wouldn't know how to explain. She lowered her head, concealing her shyness and unease well, and looked down at Jiuxiao's disheveled appearance, feeling a faint sense of guilt in her heart.

She wasn't entirely innocent. In that instant, she didn't push Jiu Xiao away directly, but let him do as he pleased. Although there was an element of surprise involved, deep down, she had to admit that she wasn't that resistant to Jiu Xiao's actions. In fact, at that moment, her heart raced and her breathing became rapid, as if she were being drawn by some inexplicable emotion.

Noticing Homura's silence, Madoka gently patted her shoulder and said softly, "Homura, you don't need to blame yourself. I know you're a victim too. Kushou-kun... he really went too far." Madoka's tone was gentle, but her eyes revealed a hint of jealousy, clearly still bothered by what had just happened.

Jiuxiao remained in his doge (prostration) posture, secretly raising his head to observe the girls' reactions. However, after just one glance, he quickly lowered his head again—it was too exciting! Since they were all wearing nightgowns, his gaze inevitably swept under their skirts…

Putting aside Madoka's teddy bear, what's with Homura Akemi's 0721 outfit? Did she forget to wear it after taking a bath?

Jiu Xiao shook his head, quickly banishing the possibility from his mind. He guessed she was too embarrassed to ask Xiao Yuan for underwear.
