Crystal Palace from Infinite Anime

But after Lin Zhiyu left, the game could no longer continue, and only a group of women were left glaring at each other.

……

When Lin Zhiyu came out of the bathroom, Aixiu was standing by the sink and looking at Lin Zhiyu with a smile, as if she had known that Lin Zhiyu would follow her, so she was waiting there.

"Why are you outside? Did you finish using the toilet so quickly?" Lin Zhiyu walked up to Aixiu and asked.

Ai Xiu put her hand on Lin Zhiyu's collar and said with a seductive look:

"I didn't even go into the restroom. I'm standing here to prevent some pervert from breaking into the women's restroom. Or can you guess who the pervert I'm talking about is?"

Lin Zhiyu narrowed his eyes, then reached out and pulled Aixiu into his arms. His palms then slapped Aixiu's plump and firm buttocks with a "slap". His five fingers pressed deep into Aixiu's buttocks through her short skirt.

"Hmm~" Ai Xiu hummed softly, keeping a charming smile on her face. She licked her lips with her tongue and said to Lin Zhiyu in a very seductive way, "As expected, someone is a complete villain and pervert. He actually molested women like this in public."

"Haha, I have something even more perverted and exciting here. Do you want to try it?" Lin Zhiyu said as the pair of palms that were pressing on Aixiu's buttocks slid down to the back of Aixiu's thighs that were not covered by the short skirt, and his palms were ready to go up along the skin on the back of Aixiu's thighs and into her skirt at any time.

"There's someone in the toilet next door~!" Ai Xiu put her hand on Lin Zhiyu's chest and separated from Lin Zhiyu.

Lin Zhiyu didn't hold her forcibly.

After breaking away from Lin Zhiyu's embrace, Ai Xiu immediately blinked and said to Lin Zhiyu with a mischievous look:

"Annelorzee is in the girls' room right next door. How about you go in now and ask her to choose between truth and dare?"

Lin Zhiyu did not comment and asked Aixiu:

"Didn't you see Ingrid and her little henchman Lina?"

"No." Ai Xiu shook her head, then restrained the smile on her face and said to Lin Zhiyu in a serious face that although she didn't know how Lin Zhiyu got involved with Ingrid and Astaroth, the two top demon world masters, she hoped that Lin Zhiyu would not have too much contact with these two.

For the same reason, Aixiu didn't realize that Lin Zhiyu had completely changed. In her mind, while Lin Zhiyu was very powerful, he was only on par with Aniloz. Whether it was the renowned "Demon Knight" Ingrid or the mythical demon "Queen of Hellfire" Astaroth, both were far stronger than Aniloz!

Especially Astaroth.

In a situation where women are strong and men are weak, Ai Xiuzhen is worried that one day the Queen of Hellfire will get tired of playing and burn Lin Zhiyu to ashes.

From Lin Zhiyu's perspective, although he felt a bit undervalued by Aixiu, and felt strange, he also knew that Aixiu reminded him out of concern. Of course, Aixiu might have had selfish motives as well, like secretly whispering in Lin Zhiyu's ear to exclude a powerful enemy.

"Okay, enough about that. Are you sure you don't want to go in and find Aniloz? You know, once you've lost your chance, it won't come back, you pervert!" A mischievous smile suddenly returned to Ai Xiu's face. She was deliberately pushing Lin Zhiyu to approach Aniloz because she had noticed that among all the women around Lin Zhiyu, none of them were her allies.

How could she fight like this, isolated and helpless?

She remembered that the woman named Busujima Saeko who was with Lin Zhiyu was supported by another woman named Jin Meiting.

This time, among so many women around Lin Zhiyu, the factional divisions are even more obvious.

Several Taimanin are from the same faction.

Ingrid and Lina are of the same ilk.

As trial-takers of the infinite space, Lani and Bayonetta are essentially different from others and belong to a different faction.

Astaroth is extremely powerful and has no problem forming his own faction.

As for Li Meifeng, who also had no allies... Back then, Li Meifeng lost her virginity to Lin Zhiyu because of Aixiu's drug. Although Li Meifeng was now completely subservient to Lin Zhiyu, it did not mean that she would have good intentions towards Aixiu, who had played a prank on her in the past.

Without the overwhelming strength of Astaroth, Aixiu lacked the confidence to fight alone. She also needed allies, and Anneroze, who grew up with her, was both beautiful and powerful. Wasn't she the perfect ally?

As Aniloz's best friend, Aixiu, who is already having fun, has no qualms about dragging Aniloz into this kind of thing.

Lin Zhiyu didn't know that Aixiu actually thought this way, and thought that Aixiu simply wanted to use him to tease Anneloz.

However, Lin Zhiyu was a little dissatisfied with Aniloz's behavior of running away to the bathroom after drawing the lowest card. Anyway, there were no outsiders in the barbecue restaurant, and Aixiu was helping to keep watch outside the toilet, so Lin Zhiyu thought for a moment and nodded and said to Aixiu:

"Then you have to keep a close eye on me and don't let any strangers, especially the waitresses in the store, in."

The waiters in this barbecue restaurant in Astaro are all young women, with no men. Lin Zhiyu was really worried that as soon as he entered, other female waiters would run to the bathroom.

"Don't worry~ I will stand guard seriously and will never let anyone disturb Mr. Pervert's secret operation in the women's restroom~" Ai Xiu said to Lin Zhiyu with a teasing look.

"If you call me a pervert again, I will fuck you to death." Lin Zhiyu said to Aixiu viciously, and once again with a pia~ sound, he slapped Aixiu on the butt, and pinched Aixiu's plump buttocks wrapped in a short skirt with his palm.

"Oh, it's okay that I was wrong. You should hurry up and take action, or Aniloz will come out!" Ai Xiu said coquettishly, then pushed Lin Zhiyu up.

In this way, under the instigation of the bad woman Aixiu, Lin Zhiyu became a pervert and entered the women's restroom where only Aniloz was.

"I don't know where Ingrid and Lina went to cool off." After entering the women's restroom, Lin Zhiyu sensed that there was indeed only the scent of Anne Lloyds in the restroom.

However, Lin Zhiyu was not worried that Ingrid would run away like this, because Ingrid had the fire he gave her in her body. Through this connection, Lin Zhiyu felt that Ingrid was nearby. She probably pulled Lina to a private room or corner to talk in private.

In the bathroom, Lin Zhiyu and Aixiu did not deliberately lower their voices when they were talking outside.

With Anneloz's hearing ability far beyond that of an ordinary person, she naturally heard most of the conversation between Lin Zhiyu and Aixiu.

So when she heard someone entering the bathroom, she knew it was Lin Zhiyu.

"Squeak~"

In the deepest cubicle of the restroom, without the slightest hesitation, Aniloz immediately opened the door and walked out, holding the unsheathed Vajra Yaksha in her hand. She said to Lin Zhiyu in a cold tone, "What do you want to do? A grown man, actually barging into the women's restroom, what a pervert!"

Lin Zhiyu had temporarily become immune to the word "pervert." He looked at Aniloz with interest, his gaze lingering on the unsheathed katana, Kongo Yasha, in Aniloz's hand. He then jokingly said, "Why would someone carry a weapon in the restroom?"

"Hmph, of course it's to guard against some perverts." Aniloz sneered, and put her thumb on the guard of the weapon, pushing the Vajra Yaksha hidden in the sheath slightly out of the sheath. The subtle movement was full of warning.

Lin Zhiyu continued, "In the truth or dare game just now, you drew the smallest diamond, the 3, right?"

Anneloz raised her chin and said proudly, "So what?"

Lin Zhiyu said seriously, "I just drew the King. I finally drew the biggest card. You can't cheat. At least give others a chance to have fun!"

“…” Anilozzi’s mouth twitched, and her facial muscles instantly became stiff.

Soul pale!

So that's why you chased me into the ladies' room?

Just to ask me: Truth or Dare?

Aniloz roared in her heart, but on the surface, her eyes showed murderous intent. With a "swish", she drew out her katana called Kongo Yasha, pointed the blade at Lin Zhiyu and said:

"The game is invalid! You quit right now, and I won't mind you breaking into the ladies' room!"

After she finished speaking, Aniloz stared at Lin Zhiyu. Lin Zhiyu looked back at her and remained motionless for a while.

Seeing that Lin Zhiyu didn't leave immediately, Aniloz made a "tsk" sound and said:

"If you want to play that, fine. I'll choose truth or dare. But you'll have to pay the price for breaking into the women's restroom. The price is to take my knife with your bare hands. Do you dare?"

"Okay, no problem for me." Lin Zhiyu nodded without thinking.

The next second, a "whoosh" sound was heard, and it turned out to be Aniloz who turned into a black shadow and came over with a knife!

"clang!"

The sound of metal clashing followed.

But Aniloz's Vajra Yaksha did not hit the steel, but hit Lin Zhiyu's right forearm which was raised to protect his head.

If Lin Zhiyu's arm was really made of steel, then Lin Zhiyu's arm would really be chopped off, because Aniloz's Vajra Yaksha is a mythical weapon that can easily cut through gold and jade!

However, Lin Zhiyu's body is a hundred times, or even a thousand times, stronger than ordinary steel!

"Tsk! You came at me with a knife without even saying hello. I thought I told you the truth first and then you attacked me!" Lin Zhiyu said with a relaxed look, his arm against Vajra Yaksha.

However, when Aniloz was about to chop off Lin Zhiyu's arm, she actually held back a bit.

If her own attack hadn't been so incredibly fast, and Lin Zhiyu's sudden, unrelenting hand-blocking movement hadn't been so sudden, she might have managed to forcefully withdraw her attack, preventing the blow from truly slicing Lin Zhiyu. But she couldn't have imagined Lin Zhiyu could be so resilient. Even if she withdrew her strength, it was still absurd for her body to withstand her Vajra Yaksha!

At the same time, Aixiu outside heard the noise and quickly walked into the bathroom.

Noticing that Aniloz was actually in an attacking stance, with her katana pressed against Lin Zhiyu's raised right arm, Aixiu couldn't help but ask in surprise:

"What are you doing!?"

Lin Zhiyu turned around and looked at Aixiu, and said naturally:

"Nothing. Aren't you worried that I can't handle Ingrid and Astaroth? You'll know soon enough whether I can handle them or not."

Then Lin Zhiyu turned his head and looked at Aniloz again, and said to Aniloz, "Hit again! Remember to use all your strength."

"...Are you serious?" Anneloz narrowed her eyes and stared at Lin Zhiyu.

Lin Zhiyu laughed and said, "You don't really think you can hurt me, do you?"

Provoked by Lin Zhiyu, Aniloz frowned and immediately raised her knife to strike again.

"clang!"

Once again, the Vajra Yaksha's sharp blade, shining with cold light, slashed on Lin Zhiyu's arm, but it didn't even break Lin Zhiyu's skin, let alone penetrate the flesh or cut off his arm.

Seeing this, both Aniloz and Aixiu behind her showed surprise on their faces.

"There's an old saying in my home country that goes, 'When you've been away for three days, you should look at them with new eyes.' So, Aixiu, just because Lin Zhiyu couldn't handle Ingrid or Astaroth before doesn't mean that Lin Zhiyu can't handle them now." Lin Zhiyu turned his head again and said slowly to Aixiu, who looked surprised.

Anneloz followed Lin Zhiyu's gaze and looked at Aixiu standing at the entrance of the toilet. Then, she belatedly said to Lin Zhiyu:

"So you went into the bathroom to provoke me to do it, in order to prove to Ai Xiu that you are no longer the same person you used to be!"

Huh? Do I have it?

Lin Zhiyu turned around and looked at Aniloz again. He didn't expect that his sudden impulse was actually premeditated in Aniloz's eyes.

"Ahem, actually I came in to see you because I have two other things to say." Lin Zhiyu said again.

Anneloz put away the Vajra Yaksha and asked with a frown, "Which two things?"

"Well, the first thing is...Truth or Dare?" Lin Zhiyu said excitedly.

“…”Annelozzi’s face was instantly filled with black lines.

"Oh, right, you just said it. Choose the truth."

"Then here's the question! Please answer, have you ever had a bitter dream?"

"Shit... bastard! What kind of questions are you asking? Don't even think about it, of course I didn't do it!" Anneloz was stunned at first after hearing Lin Zhiyu's question, and then she glared at Lin Zhiyu fiercely.

"Don't worry. If you have it, you have it. If you don't have it, you don't have it. This question may not be very serious, but it's actually not difficult." Ai Xiu, who was standing behind them, stepped over to Lin Zhiyu and Aniloz and said to Aniloz, "Lin Zhiyu is obviously just playing with you. Why are you still angry? You really can't play with me at all. No wonder you used going to the bathroom as an excuse to get out of punishment! This Iron Witch is really rubbish~"

"Hmph! It's because of you that this guy ran into the bathroom!" Aniloz glared at Aixiu with dissatisfaction.

Ai Xiushi said to Aniloz confidently, "If you weren't so insolent and used the excuse of going to the bathroom to avoid punishment, we wouldn't have found the bathroom! So in the final analysis, it's not your own fault!"

"Ai Xiu, you...!" Anneloz continued to stare at her "good sister", convinced that their friendship of many years was not as important as Lin Zhiyu's stick.

hateful!

It's just a stick!

Is that thing, and that kind of thing, really so magical that it can make a woman so obsessed?

"Okay, stop arguing. Now let me tell you the last thing, and the most important thing." Lin Zhiyu stepped forward at the right time to stop the quarrel between Aniloz and Aixiu. At this time, he moved slightly and stood between the two witches. His left and right hands went around the back of the necks of the two women and rested on the outer shoulders of the two women.

The scene was a bit like the "No, you came at the right time" meme. However, unlike the two women in the meme, Aixiu and Aniloz, who hadn't yet reacted, were not nestled in Lin Zhiyu's arms.

When they reacted, Aixiu was fine. She even took the initiative to hug one of Lin Zhiyu's arms. After all, she and Lin Zhiyu had done everything before.

But Annie Lorze is different!

"Where are your hands?" she asked Lin Zhiyu with a bad tone.

Then, without waiting for Lin Zhiyu to answer, she pulled away and distanced herself from Lin Zhiyu.

Lin Zhiyu's hand, which was originally on Aniloz's shoulder, was suspended in the air. He then withdrew it to his mouth, covered it with his hands, and coughed twice as he whispered, "Sorry, I couldn't help myself."

"Hmph!" Anneloz snorted coldly, but did not react more violently.

After all, she still had some feelings for Lin Zhiyu. They had fought side by side against Barood Barnett in Amida Plain before, and their friendship had been established long ago, but it had not yet reached the level of ambiguity.

"Okay, let's get down to business. I had Li Meifeng notify you to meet me in Tokyo this time for two main reasons. One is to deal with the powerful organization in the human world, Nomad, founded by the ancestor of the demon world vampires, Edin Black."

"What? You're going to deal with Nomad?"

"Edwin Black...you really know how to pick your opponents!"

After Lin Zhiyu told him what he was going to do next, Aixiu was surprised, while Aniloz sighed, impressed by Lin Zhiyu's plan to challenge Black and Nomad.

"That's not right. If you want to be an enemy of Nomad, then what about Ingrid?" Ai Xiu immediately found something unreasonable and asked Lin Zhiyu.

"Just listen to me first..." Lin Zhiyu then explained the situation in detail to Aixiu and Aniloz, including Ingrid's staying out of the matter, the joining of Taimanin and Astaroth, and so on.

After understanding the situation clearly, Ai Xiu pondered and said:

"First, we took down Ingrid, Nomad's second-in-command. Then we got the support of Goche Academy and the Queen of Hellfire. Plus, we got information from Kiryu Somadou, who, like Ingrid, is a high-ranking Nomad officer... Well, now that I think about it, it seems like defeating Nomad won't be that difficult."

Anneluoz immediately nodded and said:

"Nomad is incredibly powerful. Besides their leader, Black, they also have the rebellious Taimanin named Oboro, the legendary magic doctor Foster, who is taught by Kiryu Somadou and is said to be as powerful as Ingrid's vampire baroness, Maisie Waldeck, and other high-ranking Nomad officers. Every one of them is a tough character, but by comparison, it seems our team is more formidable."
