Chapter 27 : Her Home is Inside the Wall

Raijin Corporation?!

Others might have only heard the name in passing, but for Yijinmo and her crew, there was definitely bad blood.

It’s simple.

The girl had stocks in this company from the very beginning, and she bought a whole lot of them, clearly optimistic about its future.

But unexpectedly…

Despite carrying the prestigious name of Raijin, even the god of thunder wouldn’t dare call himself that.

And yet, their stock plummeted with a tragic “failure” written all over it!

At least one-third of the girl’s panties vanished because of their collapse—she’d been set up!

And now, to top it off, they were tangled up again with that same group from yesterday.

Great.

She could finally settle both the grudge over the panties and the grudge with Vita—new debts and old debts all at once!

“Did people from that company come tonight?”

“Of course. Just a moment ago, when Miss Yi was changing, they even came to look for me. But I’m not interested in those people. If you want, I can take you to find them.”

“…Wouldn’t that trouble you?”

“Not at all. It’s a small matter.”

Saying that, Alice leaned in again, casually looping her arm around Yijinmo’s.

It seemed to have become her signature move.

“Let’s go!”

“The cakes are already served, let’s eat some first. I’m not in a hurry.”

“Is that so? Alright, let’s eat first… but!”

“!”

The sudden loud voice from the Western girl startled Yijinmo.

“Miss Yi, can I feed you? Pretty please~”

Guu…

Miss Alice was also an absolute beauty, and compared to the usual Eastern style girls around, she bore many Western features like Madame Serene, making her stand out even more.

Her golden wavy hair paired with those elegant aquamarine eyes—if Alice was considered a blonde, she was definitely top-shelf blonde.

No more cheap ghost fire aesthetics, she had moved on to rolling in a Maybach now.

“Th-then, I guess that’s okay…”

Yesterday she fed Miss Luo, and today it was Alice’s turn to feed her.

This feeling… was quite interesting.

“Ah~”

“Ah—”

These were desserts from this very hotel, not as sweet as when Miss Luo served them before.

…………

Still linked arm in arm with Alice, the two of them headed back downstairs.

“So, the organizer of tonight’s business meeting is Raijin Corporation, right?”

“Yes, after the meeting there’s also a press conference. They say they’ll announce a revolutionary product, all hype no doubt.”

“But I’m not optimistic. Judging from their previous moves, this is probably just a desperate attempt to save their rapidly falling stock price. If it drops further, they’ll go bankrupt.”

“They never released a decent product during their peak. I don’t believe they’ll suddenly pull some magic out of their hat now.”

Alice’s tone was disdainful.

Whether personally or as a member of an old established family, she looked down on these profit-driven businessmen smelling of nothing but copper coins.

“The business meeting is on the second floor, but it hasn’t started yet. We have to wait until our banquet is over. Miss Yi, do you want to attend?”

“Eh, can I go in too?”

“Of course. Who am I, Alice Augustine? I can handle a small meeting like this easily.”

“That’s great!”

Although such meetings were usually boring, the information inside was far richer than any press conference.

Maybe she wouldn’t even have to fish for needles in the sea anymore—she could just get everything sorted right here in Baiye Castle.

Alice, who brought her here, really was a lucky charm!

“Alice, I’m going to the restroom first. Can you wait here for me?”

“Of course, I’ll be right here waiting for you.”

Hands clasped behind her back, Alice smiled and stood where she was, watching Yijinmo turn into the restroom.

Nice.

If Miss Yi went to audit the meeting, she certainly wouldn’t be able to return to the bar tonight.

Just thinking about Luo Shiyun eagerly returning to the bar only to find the maid had already beaten her to it made Alice laugh silently.

Ahahaha!

“What are you laughing at?”

A faint voice sounded next to her ear, but Alice, caught up in her thoughts, didn’t react.

“Just thinking about something funny.”

“Whenever I think of that sourpuss losing face, I want to laugh. Hehe, sister, don’t you think so?”

Alice threw her arm around the other’s neck and turned her head, only to suddenly freeze.

The cold-faced white-haired girl she’d been imagining just moments ago was now staring at her, making Alice’s back chill and legs tremble uncontrollably, even dampening her panties a bit.

“Well, um, ha-lo, the sun’s really strong today, look, it’s already sunrise…”

That was sunset.

Brushing Alice’s hand off her neck, Luo Shiyun stood upright again, her gaze fixed sharply on Alice.

“Where’s Yijinmo?”

“Ah, what Yijinmo? Who’s that? I don’t know her… Luo, you must be mistaken.”

Realizing her poor acting, Alice subtly stepped back half a pace.

“Don’t play dumb. I can smell her scent on you.”

“Tell me the truth, or else…”

“Guh, kill me then! I’d rather die than tell you where Miss Yi is!”

Or she could go find her herself… but Luo Shiyun didn’t get to finish that thought before Alice interrupted.

“This is the first time I’ve ever heard such a demand…”

“Hmph, scared now? You see my resolve to die? If I didn’t have this determination, how would I, Alice Augustine, dare to seduce a proper young lady!!”

“Boom!!”

…………

Raijin Corporation…

Yijinmo stood in front of the mirror, weighing her own face.

It wasn’t because of any flaws, but she was pondering whether to notify Vita and the two little fans she had just recruited.

She tended to assume the worst in situations—a habit that had saved her many times.

The only real failure had been the red spider lily incident… after all, no matter what backup you have, it’s useless against an unstoppable juggernaut.

Yijinmo’s strength now was incomparable to before.

Fighting normal people was fine, but if she met a vicious Majin Shojo or some other strange creature, she’d be in trouble.

After some deliberation, she decided to send a message to Vita.

But just as she hit send, a loud explosion rang out outside.

“Boom!!”

“!!?”

What was that? An earthquake?

Yijinmo rushed out of the restroom, only to bump into an unexpected figure.

“Miss Luo? Why are you here too?!”

Her tone unconsciously held a hint of joy.

“I was invited, much like you… It’s good to see you here; it saves me a lot of trouble.”

With that, Luo Shiyun’s expression softened considerably, her voice turning warm and sweet again, transforming back into a perfectly normal beautiful girl.

“Then, where’s Miss Alice? I thought she was waiting outside?”

“She’s here.”

The white-haired, expressionless girl stepped aside, revealing a golden-haired big dog embedded in the wall.

“Miss Alice! Why are you climbing inside the wall again?!!”

“No idea. Maybe it’s her home; she’s probably a bit of a homebody.”
