I save a pathological girl with a twisted love story.

The old man just kept drinking his tea, as if he hadn't heard anything.

After Xia Wuzhao finished his bath, he prepared to go to bed. The lights in the house were almost completely dimmed, and it was pitch black.

After opening the door, he lay on the bedding and looked at the sky.

The stars in the countryside are much clearer than those in the city.

"Chiho's grandmother's illness is cured, isn't it?" Ai whispered in Natsugiri Kai's ear; "Wish energy is really powerful. So, Natsugiri-sama, you should work harder. If you catch another monster, you can use the monster seed to increase the wish energy you get every day."

"Then we can do more things."

She kept muttering to herself, and Xia Wuzhao just listened without saying a word.

They whiled away the hours until midnight when Xiao Ai suddenly said, "Lord Xiawu, it seems that Qianchuan Yao is near the courtyard."

Xia Wuzhao didn't want to pay attention to it in the first place, but Xiao Ai urged her, "Maybe something special will happen."

So Xia Wuzhao got dressed and left the room.

Walking barefoot on the wooden floor was slightly chilly. But the only advantage was that it didn't make any noise.

He soon saw Asakawa Yo.

Asakawa Yo sat on the veranda near the courtyard, her feet resting on the white sand of the courtyard landscape.

They looked quite relaxed, as if they were admiring the stars.

Xia Wuzhao didn't approach her, but leaned against a pillar in the corridor and looked at Qianchuan Yao.

"I'm pretty sure that Asakawa Yo has noticed me watching her right now."

However, Asakawa Yo did not make the slightest move.

He just kept his head up like that.

"What is she doing?" Xiao Ai asked Xia Wuzhao in confusion.

"Who knows?" Xia Wuzhao replied with her usual excuse to Xiao Ai, leaving Xiao Ai feeling helpless.

"Hmm, isn't Lady Natsugiri going to do something?" Xiao Ai changed the subject: "If you want to get closer to girls, you have to keep creating events and building bonds."

That makes a lot of sense, but Xia Wuzhao didn't listen to Xiao Ai's method.

She just silently watched Asakawa Yo, occasionally yawning, and sometimes looking up at the sky.

—This is a rather boring thing, but for Xia Wuzhao, it is still quite interesting.

Unfortunately, this situation only lasted for half an hour.

Asakawa Yo stood up, tapping her feet and patting the sand off them.

After both feet were treated, she walked towards her own room.

Even though they passed by Xia Wuzhao, they didn't say a word.

"What a pity," Xiao Ai sighed in Xia Wuzhao's heart. "She missed a good opportunity. If she had greeted her just now, she might have triggered some other events or gained some favor."

"Let's go back."

After saying this, Xia Wuzhao returned to her room.

He took Xiao Ai out of his pocket and placed her beside him.

Although Xiao Ai complained a bit, she reluctantly accepted it.

"Lord Xiawu, please get some sleep. I'll take the night shift myself." She said, "If anything unusual happens, I'll let you know immediately, Lord Xiawu."

"Then please."

Xia Wuzhao said this casually.

The wind was quite cool tonight, making the increasingly warm weather much more comfortable.

The starry sky twinkled as always, but the chirping of insects in the forest outside sounded rather weak, probably because it wasn't yet the height of summer.

Even by the next day, Xiao Ai still hadn't noticed anything amiss.

After getting up and washing up, Xia Wuzhao went to the living room to watch Chiho practice her naginata.

Asakawa Yo was also sitting there; she wasn't interested in this kind of thing.

—But there's probably nowhere else to go.

"What about Asahi?"

Xia Wuzhao walked over and greeted Chiho.

"It's really heartbreaking," Chiho complained in a mocking tone. "They saw my situation first, but they asked Aoi about it."

"It was because I saw you that I asked where Asahi was."

Xia Wuzhao felt that there was nothing wrong with what she said.

"I'm not telling you." Chiho stuck out her tongue and grinned mischievously.

Xia Wuzhao wasn't in a hurry, so she sat down next to Qianchuan Yao.

After exercising for a while, Chiho sat down wearily next to Natsumi.

With a wicked grin, he said, "You're up to no good."

"Hmm?" Xia Wuzhao was a little confused about what Chiho was talking about.

Chiho gave Natsumi a gentle nudge and said with a smile, "Pretending not to understand anything again? This kind of trick is useless against me."

Laughing and joking, Chiho said a lot of strange things again.

"Aren't you going to take a shower?" Xia Wuzhao asked back.

"Huh?" This time it was Chiho who was confused. Then she looked at herself and realized, "You really want to see what I look like after I take a shower? Be careful, or I'll tell Asahi."

She poked Xia Wuzhao, grinning mischievously.

"It's just a bit of a sweaty smell," Xia Wuzhao said bluntly.

"Wow!"

Chiho shouted in dissatisfaction, grabbing Natsume's shoulders and shaking her repeatedly: "Don't say things like that to girls, it's insulting!"

"And shouldn't it be the fragrance?"

Xia Wu was too lazy to reply to the girl's nonsense.

Chiho had no choice but to stand up in dissatisfaction, but then she whispered in Natsumi's ear, "Are you in such a hurry to get rid of me? Are you really looking forward to some time alone together?"

Xia Wuzhao looked at Chiho, but Chiho just blinked.

She hummed a little tune, placed the naginata back in its original spot, and slowly walked towards the bathroom.

Even so, Xia Wuzhao did not say a single word to Qianchuan Yao.

Asakawa Yo wasn't just spacing out; she had seen everything that Chiho and Natsugiri Kai had just done.

"How annoying."

"The complicated relationship between the three of them is really annoying and troublesome."

"And it's all just a facade."

She hugged her legs, burying her face in her knees.

Her hair, like tender branches, cascaded down to the floor, somehow.

She said, "What did she just say to you?"

Xia Wuzhao was taken aback and glanced at Qianchuan Yao: "Are you asking me?"

"Could there be other people here?"

Asakawa Yo asked in return.

"Kirishima didn't say anything just now," Natsuki Kai said calmly. "She just said that after she left, it would just be the two of us here."

Asakawa Yo paused for a moment: "You have no objection?"

“I can’t be bothered with this kind of thing.” Xia Wuzhao answered Qianchuan Yao calmly, then asked her, “Why are you suddenly asking about this? Don’t you find it troublesome?”

"I just find this kind of thing really annoying." Asakawa Yo didn't look up: "Doesn't Kirishima like you? And haven't you been living with Asahi all this time?"

"In that case, wouldn't it be better for you to just refuse Kirishima?"

"If that were the case, we wouldn't have had any dealings with Kirishima, and this wouldn't have happened today."

Xia Wuzhao simply said calmly, "We're just friends."

"Isn't that a lie?"

Asakawa Yo drew circles on the floor with her finger: "You're saying these kinds of lies, but actually you don't want to refuse anyone, so you're just giving them the choice."

"This is disgusting."

Xia Wuzhao stood up, walked to the edge of the reception area, and then sat down again.

It simply faces the large lawn outside the house.

He said, "These are all just your guesses, and haven't you always disliked meddling in other people's business? Why are you suddenly asking these questions today?"

Asakawa Yoshi moved her lips slightly: "I just find it annoying."

Just then, Aoi finally returned.

She was still wearing her archery uniform, with her hair tied in a low ponytail, which gave her a unique look.

"I just went to practice archery."

Asahi Aoi said happily, "I didn't expect there to be an archery range here, and there are so many Japanese bows."

After greeting Asakawa Yo, the girl happily went to Natsugiri Kai's side and told him about the fun she had just learned to shoot arrows.

At that moment, she was probably really happy, and she talked a lot.

Asakawa Yo looked up at the two of them, then lowered her head again.

"I've actually become this kind of despicable person."

Asakawa Yo smoothed her sideburns expressionlessly.

"What does this have to do with me? It has nothing to do with me. So why should I interfere?"

Thinking of this, she frowned slightly.

Suddenly, she stood up, a movement that startled Aoi Asahi.

"Asakawa-san? What's wrong?"

"I just want to go out and get some sun."

Asakawa Yo made up a random excuse and walked outside with her head down.

"Don't go into the mountains," Aoi warned. "The environment here is actually quite complicated."

"Ah."

Asakawa Yo simply gave a casual reply and left.

Neither of them knew that Asakawa Yo was going somewhere else, but they weren't too worried.

—Asakawa Yo wouldn't run around like a child.

At most, it just found a secluded corner to hide in.

"What happened?" Aoi asked curiously.

Xia Wuzhao glanced at her: "They just had a fight."

"Ok?"

Aoi Asahi was puzzled; she didn't quite understand. She had initially thought that Asakawa Yo was just naturally strange, but she hadn't expected this answer.

Does Xia Wu also argue with other people?

“Isn’t that obvious?” Xia Wuzhao retorted.

"What did you argue about?" The girl's curiosity was too obvious, but Xia Wuzhao answered casually, "Just some random things."

"I see."
