I'm Ornn, and I'm about to be beaten to my knees by the Man-eating Horse Girl!

"Oh no! At this rate, Guanghui will crash into the hotel window! She'll be fine, but the glass will definitely shatter! I'm coming right now..."

Fujimasa immediately ran a few steps forward, preparing to block the brand-new, radiant siege tower.

But the slippery floor made it impossible for him to put any strength into it. The girl started doing a quick street dance routine on the floor, then collapsed to the ground in a rather disheveled state.

"Tch! Looks like the March isn't going to work! Oguri! Let's do it!"

Ornn tossed a hammer, the handle of which had a ribbon attached to it used for tying lanterns.

The hammer got caught in the gap of the ladder, leaving a ribbon several meters long dragging on the ground.

If you can grab that ribbon, you can stop that fast-moving ladder!

Little Chestnut Hat nodded slightly, then took a step forward, stomping heavily on the smooth ground!

Tamamo Cross exclaimed in alarm, "Watch out! Oguri!"

Fujimasa just fell to the ground and hasn't gotten up yet. If Oguri falls too, we're doomed!

But to her surprise, Oguri Hat didn't fall after taking that first step.

On the contrary, she is gliding across the ground at a speed far exceeding that of Radiant Movement!

Komiyayama nodded and said, "I see. It's because the ground is smooth that we can use gliding to get closer quickly!"

"Little Chestnut Hat! Grab that thread on the ground!"

Little Chestnut Hat, who was sliding forward quickly, soon caught up with the ladder. She grabbed the ribbon attached to the handle of Orn's hammer and pulled back forcefully!

The hammer got stuck between two steps of the ladder, and with Oguri's sudden pull, the ladder came to an instant.

Meguro Ardan patted his chest and said, "Phew, that was close, it almost caused a disaster."

"No, it's not over yet,"

Looking at the brand-new radiance soaring at the top of the hall, Orn sighed softly, "Disaster has struck."

Because the rapidly moving ladder suddenly stopped, the newly formed radiance, which was also moving at high speed, was flung away.

And her destination was the group of lanterns hanging high in the sky!

"Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!"

With a series of clanging and clattering sounds, all the lanterns in the lobby were pulled down at once.

The brand-new radiance was bound inside by rings of white lanterns, like eggs entangled by a spider demon, lying fallen near the floor.

The lanterns intertwined, forming a giant net.

Although the newly emerged radiant creature fell from a height of seven or eight meters, it was largely unharmed.

Apart from the elegant table lamps on the floor, the remaining lighting in the lobby is projected from large lampshades on the third floor.

Although the lantern was torn down, at least it did not cause greater damage.

Fujimasa got up from the floor and looked at the mess. She sighed, "Well, at least the good news is we don't have to take the lanterns down one by one."

"The bad news is... we'll probably have to clean the entire lobby all over again."

Chapter 220 Lantern

Inside the hotel lobby, the two teams are working together, dividing tasks.

Orn held the escalator in his hand, and at the top of the six-meter-high escalator sat a brand-new radiance.

She held a new red lantern in her hand and carefully hung it from the top of the lobby.

"Alright, my benefactor! Give me the next lantern!"

"Ah."

Ornn reached out and grabbed the new lantern beside him, throwing it towards the brand-new radiance at the top of the ladder.

A new cluster of lanterns was hung forward from the top of the escalator, taking over the lanterns from the newly illuminated escalator.

Fujimasa, who was unpacking a red lantern nearby, complained, "Orn! Don't throw it too hard. If Glorious pulls the lantern off again, we'll have to start all over again!"

"I don't want to hang them all over again, that would be exhausting. Besides, why do we have to hang all the lanterns in the lobby?! Has everyone else gone to the beach?!"

As Meguro Ardan unpacked the lanterns, he reassured everyone, "Don't worry, everyone must be very busy. There's no other way, so we had to be asked to hang them up..."

Before Aldan could finish speaking, the playful sounds of horse girls drifted from outside the hotel lobby.

"These bastards! I'll see what they're up to!"

"If I find out they're slacking off, I'm definitely going to report them!"

Fujimasa immediately stopped what he was doing, rushed to the hotel entrance, and peered out.

The students, who were supposed to be setting up a stage for the festival performance, were instead playing and fooling around on the beach.

Strange objects kept flying around in the air, and quite a few of them hit the stage.

The stage, which hadn't even been set up yet, collapsed instantly after this commotion, leaving behind a vast, clean expanse of white!

Seeing this scene that seemed so familiar... no, it should be said that it was even more chaotic than what he was seeing on his side, Fujimasa March withdrew his head again and silently went back to unpacking.

Aldan asked curiously, "Hmm? March, what happened outside just now? I think I heard a loud bang, did something collapse?"

"It's nothing, I just suddenly feel quite lucky."

Fujimasa did not answer Aldan's question. After throwing out such a nonsensical remark, she sighed and rubbed the lantern in her hand, as if she had resigned herself to her fate.

Komiyama Komi apparently had to go and organize the hotel management to arrange the festival program, so she took her leave first.

Meanwhile, her role as Tamamo Cross remained in place with Oguri Hat, cleaning up the mess left behind by the new Radiance.

When the newly radiant lanterns were torn down, most of them were damaged to varying degrees, and some were even flattened. Only a few dozen small lantern strings remained intact.

Tamamo picked up a string of white lanterns from her cross-shaped hands; even though it was a small string of lanterns, it was longer than she was tall.

Even when she raised her hands high, the string of lanterns still dragged on the ground. Undeterred, she stood on tiptoe, but the string of lanterns remained on the ground.

"Hmm? Xiaoyu, do you want to pick up the lantern completely?"

The girl in the chestnut hat reached over the head of the Tamamo Cross and picked up the string of lanterns completely.

The tall man with the bushy hair held a lantern in his hand and said with a simple and honest smile, "Here, I've picked it up."

The short man with the bushy hair immediately blushed, and white smoke began to billow from his ears.

It's obvious this isn't shyness, but rather anger.

But seeing the innocent expression on Little Chestnut Hat's face, she couldn't vent her anger; she could only suppress it, letting her heart burn with rage.

She gently patted her chest, taking a deep breath as she thought to herself, 'That's enough! I won't stoop to Xiao Li's level! A step back makes things better; Xiao Li meant well, I don't need to get angry with this fool...'

Oguri Hat held a lantern in her hand. She looked at the Tamamo Cross in front of her, which had suddenly started patting its chest for some reason, with a puzzled expression, and tilted her head slightly.

Oh, right! Ornn once said that this situation must have occurred because he accidentally hurt the other party!

Could it be that Xiaoyu... is actually very concerned about her height?

The clever little chestnut hat nodded in sudden realization. In that case, he should comfort her properly!

Yes! Compliment her height! This will help eliminate her feelings of inferiority about being short! She needs to face her fears with a smile!

"Xiaoyu, I know you're a little self-conscious about your height, but I won't look down on you just because you're short!"

Tamamo Cross looked up in horror. The words that came from the warm mouth of Oguri Hat were like a cold sword piercing through her chest!

And the attack wasn't over yet! Oguri Hat continued, "I heard from Torina that a lot of people like short people! Probably one in a hundred!! So there are actually a lot of people who like Tama's height!"

Poof!

The tall, bushy-haired boy racked his brains and said, "Hmm...hmm...and on the field, Xiaoyu, your height is a big advantage!"

"You're petite, fast, and hard to catch; you can even weave through narrow gaps... You're amazing!"

Drink!

Seeing Tamamo curled up like a shrimp, Oguri felt that the treatment was working; this was what they called treating the symptoms!

Just a few more compliments and Tamamo Cross will overcome his fear!

But what else is there to praise? We praised him on the field, and we praised him in ordinary times, so what's left?

Ideally, it would be something Xiaoyu has that I don't have...

Thinking of this, Oguri looked down at her own high breasts, then at the bare chest of Tamamo Cross, and suddenly came up with a brilliant idea!

Hey! I've got it!

"Xiaoyu! Being short isn't a bad thing! Look how flat your chest is, you must be able to run faster! I'm even envious of you..."

Before Oguri Hat could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Tamamo Cross, who had finally lost her patience.

She clenched her fists, glared fiercely at the two rotten mounds of flesh on Oguri's chest, and said with bloodshot eyes, "Urusai! Oguri! If you don't know how to compliment people, then don't say anything!"

"Go! Squat down there! Let us fight for a while!"

As she spoke, she reached out and gently tapped Little Chestnut Hat's stomach.

"Huh? Oh... okay."

Little Chestnut Hat lowered her head, looking somewhat aggrieved. Confused, she crouched in the corner, huddled among the pile of white lanterns, enduring Tamamo Cross's light, fluttering fists.

After venting her anger, Tamamo Cross lay weakly on the hotel lobby floor. She reached out and pulled Oguri Hat up, sighing, "Oguri, did you think of these words yourself, or did that guy teach you?"

"Before this summer vacation, you didn't seem to be so sharp-tongued, did you?"

Little Chestnut Hat dusted herself off and nodded honestly, "Yes, it was Tuoren Na who taught me."

Tamamo's cross-shaped eye twitched for a moment, then she sighed.

"Forget about that for now, let's continue cleaning the lanterns."

Little Chestnut Hat piled the damaged lanterns onto the trailer, and then pushed the unusable lanterns, one truckload at a time, to the garbage dump.

Ma Niang's stamina was truly extraordinary; she only made three trips back and forth before throwing all the damaged lanterns into the trash can.

When she returned pushing the cart, Shining Radiance and Orn were still setting out new red lanterns, but judging from the number of wrappers around Fujimasa March, they seemed to be almost finished hanging them.

Oguri Hat put the cart aside and looked in the direction where she had been arranging the lanterns. She noticed that Tamamo Cross was still squatting there, seemingly tidying up something.

She asked, "Hmm? Xiaoyu, are there any more lanterns that need to be thrown?"

"Whoa! It's Ooguri! You scared me..."

Tamamo Cross, who was squatting on the ground, almost jumped up when Oguri Hat called out to her. She turned to look at the lanterns on the ground and shook her head, saying, "No, the remaining lanterns are actually still usable, except for being a bit dirty."

"I just don't know... if it's possible..."

"Hehe, little guy, if you want to take it, then take it!"

The hotel lobby manager appeared beside the two of them at some point. Looking at the Tamamo Cross, he nodded and said, "These festival lanterns have been reused for several years. The hotel uses brand new lanterns now, so these old guys should be retired."

"Little one, if you like it, you can take it with you!"

Tamamo-no-Juji rolled her eyes and retorted, "I'm not a kid anymore! I'm already seventeen! I'll be an adult soon!"

"Hmph, so what if you're adults? In my old man's eyes, you're just little kids."

The hotel manager chuckled dismissively, then waved his hand, ignoring Tamamo Cross's protests, and said, "Hey! Trainer over there, you can handle this lantern! You'd better take good care of your own family's responsibilities!"

"Damn it! We're not kids anymore! That guy isn't someone we can rely on!"

"Damn it!! Come back here!!"

Tamamo Cross, her temper flaring, raised her hand. If Oguri Hat hadn't grabbed her collar from behind, she probably would have pounced on the hotel manager.

Ornn watched as the newly lit lantern was hung up, then went to the two people in the chestnut hat.

He looked at the string of lanterns that Tamamo Cross was holding in his hand and asked, "You want to take these back with you?"

Tamamo Cross turned her head away, staring at the smooth marble floor at Orn's feet, and softly hummed in agreement.

Orn looked at the string of lanterns at his feet and suddenly laughed, "Take them back then, after all, the manager agreed."

"However, there's too little space in Komiyama-senpai's old Beetle. You can put it in my car."

"Oguri, Kōki, March, come and lend a hand."

At that moment, Tamamo Cross suddenly reached out to stop Ornn, while also protecting the lantern behind him.

She forced a smile and said, "Haha, no need to trouble everyone. Our car and Tuoleina's car may be small, but they can still fit all these lanterns!"
