After introducing the contents of the villa, Rhodes looked at Li Chaoge and asked a question.
"I think it's good. When shall we sign the contract?"
Li Chaoge nodded and smiled, saying that the distance from the city center was indeed a problem. It would take four hours to travel there and back by regular car, which would be quite inconvenient for shopping and other daily activities.
But to be honest, it's unrealistic to expect a perfect replacement. Although he didn't know how Rhodes's father's client acquired such a large plot of land to build houses, it certainly wasn't an easy feat.
There are always trade-offs. If you want your little rascals to be lively and not disturb the neighbors, you really need to live further away from the city center.
Anyway, most of them aren't ordinary people, so at worst we can allow them to use their powers to go to the city to play. He can also go racing with Bronya when he has time.
"Don't worry about the money. You can stay here for now, Brother Chao. My dad said we'll settle the accounts together with the gold payment later."
Rhodes shook her head and repeated what her father had told her.
"Of course I have no problem with that, but didn't you say the owner of this villa is in a hurry to sell it?"
Li Chaoge was quite surprised and said, "There's such a good thing?" He felt that he didn't have enough money. After all, the suburban villa had a large area and good facilities. Even with a 20-30% discount, he still felt that his funds were not enough.
"I am anxious, but a few more days won't make a difference. As long as it can be done within a month, that's fine."
Rhodes explained that the other party didn't expect it to sell quickly anyway, and even her father might not have hoped that Qingge's brother would buy the villa.
"Thank you very much, Rhodes."
Seeing that Rhodes had said so, Li Chaoge naturally agreed happily.
“We can sleep here tonight. Let’s call them now and tell them to move their things over.”
Ayaka Kamisato laughed, saying that it seemed they wouldn't have to worry about housing for a while.
To be honest, the experience of sleeping in the same bed with everyone these past few days has been quite unique. Although it's not that she hates it, it does mean she has less private space, and she still wants to have her own private room as soon as possible.
Otherwise, it would be a bit embarrassing if someone else barged in every time she wanted to do something with Chaoge. If it were her own room, then no one would probably barge in.
"I'll call them and remind them to buy more vegetables and fruits to stock up."
Belfast nodded, took out his phone, thought for a moment, and then called Raiden Mei, who was staying at the villa.
There aren't many reliable people at the villa right now, and even fewer who have the prestige to command others. Raiden Mei can cook and is also a minor leader of the Honkai forces, so she can temporarily keep things in check.
Lucia and Root Style are actually good choices, but one is honest and the other is cunning. If you let them manage things, they will either be played by others or play others.
After thinking it over, only Raiden Mei seems to be relatively serious and won't be influenced by the others.
"Then we won't bother you, Brother Chao... Oh no!"
Seeing this, Rhodes also prepared to take her leave, but she suddenly realized something halfway through her conversation with Li Chaoge, and her expression changed slightly.
"Huh? What's wrong with Rhodes?"
Tamamo-no-Mae, who had been slacking off on the sidelines, was taken aback and asked curiously.
"This place is too remote. Will we be able to hail a taxi here?"
As Rhodes took out his phone, he explained to Tamamo Jinguji with a somewhat anxious expression.
When she booked the ride, she didn't think about her return trip. She also didn't expect that Qingge's brother, who could handle such big business deals, didn't have his own car. Now, even if she shamelessly asked Qingge's brother to send someone to take them back, he wouldn't do it.
I should have left one of the cars that brought them here to take them back.
"Damn it... it seems like we really can't make an appointment here."
After Rhodes placed the order, she found that the nearest vehicles were all far away from her, so how could the other party possibly accept the order under such circumstances?
"Uh......"
Seeing this, Jinguji Tamamo looked at Li Qingge with an embarrassed expression. Li Qingge blinked and looked at her brother without saying a word.
This situation wasn't caused by her, and she didn't have any good solutions.
But it doesn't seem like a bad thing, since we can sleep here.
"Why don't you two, Ms. Jinguji and Ms. Barrett, stay here tonight? Ms. Qingge can also chat with the master."
Belfast, who had finished informing Raiden Mei and put away the phone, was well aware of the current situation and smiled at Rhodes.
"We've already checked, the sheets and blankets are all brand new, we can move in after a little cleaning."
"Wouldn't this... be a bit inappropriate?"
Rhodes was taken aback and turned to look at Tamamo-no-Mae and Li Qingge, wanting to see their opinions, but Tamamo-no-Mae and Li Qingge also looked at her with the same expression.
Jinguji Tamamo is a follower of her heart. Thanks to the imposing aura of Ayaka Kamisato and others, she really didn't dare to say she wanted to leave by force.
Li Qingge goes without saying. As Li Chaoge's sister, she can stay or leave as she pleases. In any case, it's up to Rhodes to decide, and she won't take the blame.
"If you pay extra, we can get a car from the city to pick you up, but this place is so far from the city center, and it will be late by the time the car arrives. It's a bit dangerous for you girls to travel at night."
Seeing that Rhodes did not immediately object, Belfast knew that the other party's resistance was not that strong, and continued, "Why don't you all stay here for the night, and I will arrange a car to take you back first thing tomorrow morning."
"Or are you worried about missing your early class tomorrow morning?"
"No, not really... but won't this cause you trouble?"
Rhodes looked at Li Chaoge apologetically, still not wanting to cause trouble for others.
However, it seems better to stay here for the night, as ride-hailing services are too dangerous at night, especially in the middle of nowhere.
Although the chances of this happening are slim, if it does happen, it will be too late to regret it.
"As long as you trust me and Qingge, there's nothing to worry about."
Li Chaoge glanced helplessly at Belfast and smiled at Rhodes.
"Okay, then let's sleep here for the night."
After making the decision, Rhodes felt a little relieved from his tension.
She wasn't afraid of what Qingge's brother might do to her. With so many beautiful girls around him, he wouldn't dare to lay a hand on someone he'd just met. She didn't trust Li Chaoge, but rather Qingge, and the Li Chaoge whom Qingge had always admired and liked.
However, she still felt a little awkward. Was this considered living together with a boy? Although they weren't living alone, they would be staying in the same villa tonight.
"......" Shinguji Tamamo.
Are we really going to spend the night here?!
The guys from Qingge's villa are coming over soon, right? They all look terrifying!
She wanted to go back to her dorm, but she couldn't bring herself to say no.
She had never met Belfast and Nian before, but they gave her the same feeling as the previous group of guys—they were likely to be seemingly cute on the surface but ruthless on the inside.
Li Qingge could understand this ending, but she just shook her head silently.
It seems that not all the girls around my brother are very jealous of others.
At least for now, Ying is the one who's jealous.
"Then I'll go tidy up the bathroom first, so that everyone can take a shower together later."
Seeing that Rhodes had taken the bait, Belfast smiled with satisfaction and prepared to deal with the bathtub.
The sheets and blankets were all new and ready to use, but the bathroom hadn't been used for a while, so she had to clean it quickly and efficiently so that the commander could properly enjoy the villa's large bathtub.
The original owner of this villa certainly knew how to enjoy life; in addition to the exquisite furnishings, the villa also had a bathroom resembling a large public bathtub.
"One, take a bath together?!"
Upon hearing this, Rhodes's fair face flushed bright red.
Why are they suddenly going to shower together?! This is just unthinkable! They've only just met!
"Yes, it'll be easier if we wash together when our companions arrive; it's too slow to wash one by one."
Belfast seemed puzzled by Rhodes' reaction and instead looked Rhodes up and down.
"No, it's nothing. I just meant that I'm going to shower with Tamamo Seika and the others later."
Upon seeing this, Rhodes immediately realized he had misunderstood and quickly waved his hand to explain.
It turns out she misunderstood. She was wondering why she was suddenly asked to take a bath with Qingge's brother.
"Miss Rhodes, would you like to shower with me? That would be wonderful."
Belfast gave a faint smile, while the ever-vigilant Jinguji Tamamo instinctively sensed danger, but couldn't quite put her finger on what was wrong.
Ayaka Kamisato guessed the trap in Belfast's words, but what could she say? She could only pretend she knew nothing.
Fine, let's just shower together then, it's not like it's the first time.
Chapter 1. Who exactly is giving away freebies?!
As darkness fell, the villa lights came on.
To avoid causing trouble, Jinguji Tamamo and Rose chose to share a room. They had originally wanted to help clean the villa, since they had been "kindly taken in" for the night and it wouldn't be right to just sit there doing nothing.
However, Belfast possessed the pride of a maid and naturally wouldn't allow her guests to do the cleaning.
"Are we really going to stay here...?"
Jinguji Tamamo stood by the window with her arms crossed, occasionally tiptoeing, her head resting against the glass as she looked at the dark night view outside.
She still felt a little unreal. They had agreed that she was just looking at houses, so how did she end up staying at Qingge's brother's place?
"Tamamo, don't you and Qingge's brother have a pretty good relationship?"
Rhodes sat on the edge of the bed and texted Isabella and the others to explain the situation. Hearing Tamamo Jinguji's mutterings, he looked up and asked curiously.
She felt that Tamamo and Qingge had a good relationship, since he called her "Brother Chao," but he seemed even more unwilling than she was.
"It's not a matter of good or bad... You haven't seen how many girls are in Qingge's brother's family. It feels weird for us to live with them."
Jinguji Tamamo turned around and looked at Rhodes with a guilty conscience, explaining.
How could she admit that she was timid and intimidated by their imposing presence? She could only explain her reasons for not wanting to stay by offering other explanations.
Are there really that many people?
Rhodes asked, puzzled. She only knew that Li Chaoge wanted to buy a house that could accommodate many people, but she didn't know exactly how many people.
"Of course, this villa will probably barely be able to accommodate everyone."
Jinguji Tamamo pouted. One reason she didn't plan to get closer to Qingge was that those pretty girls were a bit intimidating, and another was that there were just too many girls around. Even if she didn't have any romantic feelings for them, they might misunderstand her.
"Is that so? Actually, if Qingge's family is a large family, then it's normal to have more people."
Rhodes sighed. Perhaps it was because she had always lived abroad, and although her father didn't have such problems, the environment she was exposed to made her feel that such things were actually very common and normal.
It's just as difficult for wealthy people to control their desires as it is for ordinary people; they just don't usually do it openly.
"It shouldn't be. They have all kinds of hair colors, from white to blonde, and even the red hair that you dyed, Rhodes. They look more natural than yours."
Jinguji Tamamo shook her head. Among those girls, there were few with black hair and black eyes, and they didn't know Qingge very well. They all seemed to be Qingge's girlfriends.
"More natural than mine?"
Upon hearing this, Rhodes subconsciously touched his short red hair.
Her original hair was blonde, just like Bella's, but she dyed it red to give it a more rock and roll feel. Because the dye was done well and she took good care of it, you couldn't tell unless you looked closely.
"Boom boom boom!"
Just then, there was a knock on the door, and Belfast's voice came from outside.
"Miss Barrett, Miss Jinguji, the bathroom has been cleaned and the water is ready."
Rhodes quickly got up to open the door, and thanked Belfast, who had changed into a maid outfit, saying, "Thank you, Miss Belfast. We'll go take a bath now."
"No trouble at all. If there's nothing else, I'm going to prepare dinner now."
Belfast shook his head and smiled.
"Miss Belfast, wait a minute, where are the others? Will they shower with us?"
Rhodes hesitated for a moment, then called out to Belfast and asked.
She was fine with Tamamo and the others, as they were quite familiar with each other, but she would feel shy in front of strangers, even if they were also girls.
"Please don't worry, Miss Barrett, they will bathe with their master later."
"Okay, I understand."
Seeing Belfast's smiling face, Rhodes blushed. Qingge's maid was too direct.
"Wait, what about Qingge?"
Suddenly, the shrine maiden Tamamo behind Rhodes remembered their friend Seika.
