"It's time to sleep."
Baili stood up and said, "I am Liu Yi, and I am Erzi."
He planned to take another shower.
Then he waited for Mai and Asia in the room.
"That's true. We're going back tomorrow, so get some rest."
"See you tomorrow then."
Rias and Akeno Himejima also stood up.
Because the villa had many bathrooms, the group split up to explore.
Bai Li, who had finished showering first, waited in the room for half an hour before Sakurajima Mai and Asia appeared together.
Sakurajima Mai knocked on the door and entered the house, taking off her bathrobe. The reverse bunny girl outfit she had worn before still fit her perfectly.
Asia, who had been dressed up as a nun again, covered her face with her hands.
"I like Mr. Baili, but... I'm still so shy..."
She has clearly given up her identity as a nun and is now simply a cosplayer.
"That's just the kind of person Baili Jun is."
Mai patted Asia's head.
However, she only complained verbally; otherwise, she was quite honest.
Mai took Asia's hand and led her to Baili's bedside.
"The night is still long."
After Baili finished speaking, he stretched out his hands to the girls.
His and their stories are like the waves and the shore.
Impact and release;
Acceptance and change.
No matter how long it takes, it's hard to calm down.

The next day.
The second floor.
Rias in another room.
Having barely slept all night, she fiddled with her red hair and then left the room.
"Rias?"
Himejima Akeno was standing at the door, preparing to go wash up.
You don't look like you slept well.
"Me? Didn't you hear me? Last night."
"Hmm? Kittens usually sleep very soundly. As for me... I recently found some music I like, so I put on my headphones and listened to it, and eventually fell asleep."
"I listened to it all night too."
"What? Music?"
"It's not..."
Rias denied it, then looked towards Hyakuri's room.
"All night long."
Rias looked away after saying those words.
At this moment, Baili gained another persona in her heart.
To use a game that the kitten once played as an analogy, that's the emperor of the night...!
Why isn't "Spring Shadow" played in Chapter 44?
The next day, early in the morning.
Baili got up, got dressed, and then drew back the curtains.
The second-floor bedroom window overlooks the sunlit sea, its shimmering surface sparkling with dazzling colors.
After stretching and moving his neck and waist, Baili felt refreshed and looked back at the warm bed he had just left.
Bunny girl costumes and rabbit ears were scattered around the bedding.
As the gaze moves, there are also the nun's hats crumpled together and the robes soaked from last night.
Mai Sakurajima and Asia, who were fast asleep due to exhaustion, showed no signs of waking up.
Is it because I didn't replenish my mana enough last night?
or...
Replenishing too much mana, exceeding the body's capacity, is what causes fatigue and exhaustion.
It seems I need to be more restrained in the future.
Just a little restraint.
Reduce overnight hours by half or something.
Baili planned for the future and then left the balcony.
After enjoying the sea breeze, he prepared to take a morning shower to wash away the sweat and other grime.
However, this sweat did not come from Baili.
They all belong to them.
After all, a few hours of exercise isn't enough to make you sweat.
As Baili left the room and headed to the bathroom, he heard noises coming from the first floor.
He walked to the side of the wooden fence and looked down.
Rias and Akeno Himejima were already up, while Koneko Toujou was playing games on the sofa not far away.
Noticing the commotion on the second floor, Himejima Akeno looked up and greeted them gently.
"Oh, I'm finally up, Baili-kun. Would you like something to eat? We have salad and sandwiches for breakfast."
"I'll come right after I take a shower."
"Where are Mai and Aishi, the two neighbors (two), the three sisters (three), and Miss Liuyang? Are they still resting?"
"Yeah, I estimate it will be around noon."
noon?
Himejima Akeno then looked at Rias, who was tasting a salad beside her, and finally understood the meaning of their previous conversation.
One night...
Did Rias actually listen to it all night?
Logically speaking, Rias should also be able to block out sound through some means.
Perhaps it's because she's very interested?
Himejima Akeno didn't say anything, but instead told Hyakuri to go take a bath first, and she asked the female chefs to make another fresh breakfast.
After Baili finished washing up and came to the living room to enjoy breakfast with everyone, Rias gently put down the empty salad plate.
"Bai Li Jun, we still have things to do, so we may have to leave first. I hope you don't mind."
"Is it important?"
"It's related to the matter I mentioned earlier."
Rias did not hide it.
It most likely refers to an engagement.
And it was an engagement with a detestable demon.
Baili took a sip of water and repeated the previous topic.
“I still believe that Miss Rias has a variety of choices, and she can come to me anytime if she makes a decision.”
"I have never forgotten that."
Rias gave a serious answer.
At that moment, the little cat from Tacheng sat down next to Baili.
She handed over the handheld game console.
"Do you know how to play games? Baili, can you help me pass this level?"
"Side-scrolling fighting game? I've played those before."
Seeing this, Zhu Nai reminded the kitten.
"Please don't disturb Mr. Baili's meal."
"fine."
After Baili finished speaking, he took the handheld console and began to operate it.
It seems that Toujou Kōneko chose the story mode of a fighting game, and on the highest difficulty, which made the AI very intelligent.
However, fighting games are essentially games that test your reflexes.
As long as the AI doesn't change its moves, it can be easily defeated with a simple return.
That's why Baili easily helped the kitten complete the challenge.
"Wow...that's amazing."
