Problem Girls Strategy

"Ok?"

"Jiang Zao...you're not really interested in me, are you?"

"...What are you talking about? We are all brothers!"

"Oh."

The conversation between the two ended here, and only the music was left echoing in the space. Huihui opened her eyes and looked at the starry night sky with a calm face, and no one knew what she was thinking about.

Jiang Zao closed his eyes, breathing slowly and leisurely, as if he had fallen asleep in a hot spring.

Amid the music and the sound of breathing, Huihui's tired eyelids began to fight each other. She glanced at Jiang Zao who was sleeping soundly, leaned on his shoulder as a pillow, and fell asleep on her side.

When the two woke up again, they found Pekorim, Kokoro, and Kailu standing by the open-air bath, watching them. Huihui quickly sat up from the hot spring and greeted them awkwardly: "Oh, oh, you...you're back."

Pekorim pinched her chin and acted like a detective: "As I recall... you wanted to take a hot spring bath alone, right?"

"Why did she take a bath with Jiang Zao instead, and even fell asleep on his shoulder." Kailu kept scanning the two of them with a scrutinizing gaze.

Kokoro pretended to be about to cry: "Why did you secretly take a hot spring bath with the master without telling me?"

After a series of punches, Huihui's scalp was numb, and she anxiously explained to her companions: "No... It's not what you think... I just happened to meet him when I came back. He didn't want to go to the public hot spring, so I changed into a swimsuit and took a bath together... Don't guess!"

"puff!"

No one knew who couldn't hold back their laughter first, and then the three of them, who could no longer hold back, started laughing. In fact, they had no objection to the two of them taking a hot spring bath together, they just wanted to see how she would react when she woke up, so they did this.

"It's all your fault! The others have also developed the bad habit of playing pranks on others!" Huihui glared at Jiang Zao.

He was innocently caught in the crossfire and said, "Is it my fault?"

“Ah! Huihui, don’t rush out. We need to change into our swimsuits and soak in the hot spring together!”

"Okay, I'll just soak for a little while and then I'll be out. You guys hurry up."

"Well, we'll be back soon."

After a while, three people came out wearing swimsuits of different styles. Jiang Zao admired the beautiful view openly and applauded: "Everyone's swimsuits fit well! Mm, they are simply perfect!"

"Hmph, I'll accept the compliment reluctantly." Unlike Huihui, Kaede was wearing a dark blue main body, crimson suspender bikini with lace, which matched her tsundere personality of being cold on the outside but warm on the inside.

Kokoro was wearing a white one-piece swimsuit. The white pleated skirt at her hips and the light green tulle gave her a light and ethereal look. Her face turned slightly red when she heard the compliments and she walked into the hot spring silently.

Pekolim stood by the hot spring with her hands on her waist. She wore a blue pearl bracelet on her left hand and a chiffon swimsuit that was mainly white with light blue and gold embellishments on the edges. There was also a red bow tied on her chest to represent passion. She accepted the compliments with a smile, and then said that Huihui's swimsuit also suited her well.

The only thing I don't want to hear is this from your mouth!

Huihui pinched Jiang Zao, whose eyes were still fixed on Pekolim, with her right hand hidden in the water, and responded with a fake smile: “Thank you for the compliment, Jiang Zao said the same thing.”

"What did you guys talk about in the hot spring?"

"We didn't talk about anything, just a few words about the situation at home."

"?"

Jiang Zao didn't know why Huihui lied about this, but he didn't expose her. Pekolim swam flexibly in the wide hot spring like a mermaid. The splashes of water caused by the resistance of her chest made Huihui very jealous, and her eyes literally glowed red.

Maybe she was tired of playing in the public hot springs before, so she stopped after swimming two laps and said with her usual bright smile: "I didn't expect that I would be able to take a hot spring bath with so many friends one day, it's great!"

"Did Pekolim have no friends before?"

"Because I've been studying and training hard, and then I went out on adventures, I really don't have many friends... Kokoro, how about you?"

"My word...if the animals of the forest don't count as friends, then neither do I."

After a discussion, the girls found out that none of them had many friends. In contrast, Huihui had someone who was called her archenemy, but no one knew where he was now. Kaede had been proud to say that she had more than a dozen friends, but in the end it was revealed that she was talking about cats.

Seeing their eyes shifted to him, Jiang Zao proudly folded his arms and made a tactical backward move: "I have a lot of friends."

He didn't lie. A girlfriend is also a kind of friend.

Hui Hui's eyes flashed: "Is the friend male or female?"

"Well... they are all women."

"Don't you have a boyfriend?"

"Only a fool would have a boyfriend! I'm a man!" Jiang Zao glared at the middle school magician who had no idea what was going on in his mind.

“Could it be that all those female friends are your girlfriends?” Huihui muttered in a voice that only he could hear. Seeing him shake his head first and then nod, she pinched him twice with her right hand hidden under the water.

"Sure enough, Jiang Zao is also very popular in the original world."

"It's only natural that the master is so outstanding!"

"If he puts away his bad character...it's really nice in the senses."

Everyone chatted in the hot spring for a while before leaving the open-air hot spring, changing their clothes, having dinner, and then making their beds to sleep.

Chapter 283: It's really common and familiar

The light accompanied by soft music awakens everyone who is still sleeping one by one.

It’s so heavy... What’s pressing on me?

Kael opened her eyes, her consciousness not yet completely pulled out of the dream. The wooden ceiling was no different from what she saw before going to bed, and her hands and feet could move normally. The only difference was that her stomach felt heavy.

She raised her head and looked at her abdomen. The bulge in the quilt blocked her view, as if something was hidden inside.

This big belly looks like a pregnant cat...

and many more? !

"Pregnant!?"

Kailu's shrill scream startled the others, and they immediately sat up from the bed, and then they all saw her round belly, which was more exaggerated than that of a ten-month pregnancy.

"What, what, what... What's going on, why... Kael is suddenly pregnant?" Pekolin knelt beside her at a loss, wanting to touch her with her hands but not daring to.

Kokoro's hands trembled as she tried to find relevant information about the Orcs' sudden pregnancy in the books: "This is the 'Orcs Encyclopedia', this is the 'Orcs' Customs and Stories'..."

Compared to the flustered girls, Hui Hui was exceptionally calm. She had a clear goal in mind. She walked straight to Jiang Zao, who was staring blankly at the quilt, grabbed his collar and asked, "Did you secretly get up and kiss Kailu last night while we were asleep?"

"Huh? What weird things are you talking about? Does this have anything to do with her current situation?"

"How can it be okay?" Her voice suddenly rose: "It's common sense that kissing can lead to pregnancy. Don't you want to admit what you did? I really misjudged you!"

"..."

The room fell into deathly silence. The panicked Pekorim and Kokoro turned around and stared at Huihui with incredulous eyes. Kaede also looked at her as if she was an idiot.

Jiang Zao took a deep breath.

I actually scolded Xingyu for such an idiot who couldn't even understand basic physiological knowledge...

"What's with that look on your face? Did I say something wrong just now?"

"No, you're not wrong, it's my fault..." Jiang Zao put his hands on Hui Hui's shoulders, his face full of regret: "We'll talk about common sense about pregnancy later. The most important thing now is to give my daughter a name."

"I'm the best at naming things!"

“Very good! Team member Huihui, the very important task of naming is now left to you.”

"give it to me!"

Huihui took the paper and pen and was tricked into writing quickly. From time to time, she muttered names such as "Jiang Jiang", "Piaopiao" and "Meimei" that were full of unique aesthetics.

“Master... Huihui’s common sense... is it necessary to correct it?”

"It's not appropriate for a boy like me to talk to her about this, so why don't you guys go?"

Seeing them blushing and shaking their heads, Jiang Zao sighed helplessly: "Okay, let's put this problem aside for now. I'll think of a solution later. Now let's focus on Kailu's abnormality."

"But... it's unheard of for an orc to get pregnant overnight."

"I have heard of hot springs that can change genders, but that's a story made up by others. Is there really a hot spring on the continent of Astraea where you can get pregnant just by soaking in it?"

"Even if that's the case, why is Kailu the only one who's pregnant? Kokoro and I also took a hot spring bath with her yesterday."

"If I woke up in the morning and saw the three of you all with big bellies, I would be scared to death."

When Kailu heard them talking about pregnancy one after another, it seemed like the fact had been confirmed. She couldn't stand the fact that she was inexplicably going to be a mother, so she pulled the quilt open to see what was on her belly.

As she moved, a round, snow-white egg as big as an ostrich egg appeared in front of everyone.

"Ah...it's a hot spring egg."

"I said that orcs couldn't get pregnant overnight..." Kokoro wiped the cold sweat from her forehead. She almost doubted whether she had read all the books for more than a hundred years in vain.

"Who on earth said I was pregnant? That's too much!"

Kailu complained indignantly, and then realized that it was she who shouted out the word "pregnant" while unconscious, which led to the current embarrassing situation. Her fur-ridden tail instantly wilted in anger.

The clown is me!

"Ahem... Now that we know it's a hot spring egg, I'll go contact the hotel staff. By the way, how do you choose to cook the hot spring egg, boiled or fried?"

"Let's make fried hot spring eggs. Everyone has tried boiled eggs, but no one seems to have tried fried eggs."

"it is good."

On the other side, Hui Hui finally thought of a name for Jiang Zao's daughter. She came over excitedly, waving the note in her hand: "Jiang Zao! Hey, where is he?"

"He went to ask the hotel staff to come and get the hot spring eggs."

"What? Hot spring eggs?"

After Pekolim explained the misunderstanding to her, Huihui put down the note in disappointment: "What... It's so rare that I came up with a great name, but now I can't use it."

"Ahahaha... good names can be used later, it's okay."

The rest of the people in the Gourmet Hall knew that Huihui... no, it should be said that the Crimson Demons had a unique personal style, which was far beyond the aesthetics of the time, and had their own opinions on naming. They could never come up with a good name. The handsomeness that came out of their mouths was very different from what ordinary people perceived.

There is a saying circulating on the continent of Astraea: If you come across something with a strange name, it is most likely created by the Crimson Demons.

Jiang Zao and the maid returned to the room together. She took the hot spring eggs away with her people and said that the fried hot spring eggs would be delivered in half an hour.

When Hui Hui saw the real owner coming back, she jumped in front of him, stood on tiptoes and waved the note in her hand: "Jiang Zao, I have thought of a name for your daughter. Do you want to know?"

"Hmm... It's really attractive. So... what's the price, Megumin?"

She stuffed the note into his arms and smiled mysteriously: "Don't tell anyone else."

"It's so simple... Let me see if it's a name like 'Goudan' or 'Erzhuzi'."

"Pfft! What a weird name! She's your daughter after all, I wouldn't give her such a name."

Jiang Zao opened the note, his eyes narrowed slightly, and then he pretended to be calm and put it into the storage space: "It can be seen that you are really attentive. After eating the hot spring eggs, let's go to Maple Sugar Valley."

Although the other girls were very curious about the name written on the note, the two parties involved chose to keep silent and could only pretend that they had never heard of it.

Huihui approached Kailu with a smile and asked her how it felt to almost become a mother, which made Kailu so ashamed and angry that she chased her around the house and beat her.

Chapter 284: You kid, you’ll be punished!

Jiang Zao was attacked. To be more precise, Hui Hui dragged him into the bedroom and pressed him down on the bed.

He was very sure that he had not teased her, played tricks on her, or touched her feet recently.

"So...what are you doing now?"

Huihui was silent for a while, and tears as big as beans fell like a rainstorm, drowning him in the blink of an eye.

"Hey, hey, hey, what's wrong with you?"

"Jiang...Jiang Zao~"

The girl's aggrieved sobs were like a sharp blade, easily cutting through his defenses.

"Don't cry, tell me what happened."

"I...I might be dying."

Jiang Zao sat up suddenly, held her in his arms and carefully sensed the fluctuations of magic power on her body: "Are you cursed? Or are you still injured from before?"

Hui Hui's slender fingers tightly grasped his clothes, as if only this could temporarily dispel the uneasiness in her heart. She sniffed twice and said in a muffled voice: "I... I don't know why there is so much blood on my body. This has never happened before."
