Compared to these guys who only worry about eating, her family's bankruptcy problem is much more serious.
That jerk of a father, why did he have to make such a stupid investment?!
Not only did they lose all their family assets, but they might not even be able to keep their house!
You never want to come home from school one day to find that your house has been registered under someone else's name.
This is not the reality a high school student like me should be facing!!
Feeling increasingly frustrated, Rin Tohsaka scratched her hair in a frantic attempt to pull all her worries out of her head.
But after venting, there is a feeling of powerlessness and emptiness.
I should try to find a job to earn money first. Only when I have savings and can guarantee my livelihood should I consider other things.
Sakura's situation is probably not good either, since the Matou family also went bankrupt due to their investments. I wonder how they are doing now.
I should ask her about it later; I have to consider her feelings no matter what.
While Rin Tohsaka was filled with worry, Jiang Qiu and the others were eating happily without a care in the world.
The four of them devoured the two tables full of snacks in no time, leaving their bellies round and full.
"I've had a great meal. It would be even better if I could take a nap in a bed."
"You're dreaming."
"There are beds in the infirmary, you can go check it out sometime!"
"And there's the club activity room; that big sofa over there looks really comfortable."
"Right! We still have plenty of time before class, why don't we go check it out over there?"
"I think it works!"
Having reached a consensus, the four quickly cleaned up the trash and then hurriedly headed to the club activity room with their milk tea in hand.
Somewhat surprisingly, the four of them had only just arrived at the activity room when they found that there were already people inside.
While Sinon, Kaguya, and Ginrou were engrossed in playing a game, Mokou was lounging lazily on the sofa, yawning contentedly.
Noticing the four people at the door, she immediately greeted them cheerfully.
"I was just wondering if you guys would come, you're pretty quick."
"We weren't comfortable sleeping in the classroom during lunch break, so we thought we'd come here to rest for a while."
"There's still some milk tea left, want a sip?"
"Oh, thank you."
After smilingly accepting the milk tea from Fu Shi, Mohong shifted her position to make room for them on the sofa.
As the four people took their seats and sank into the soft sofa, their eyes involuntarily narrowed.
Club activities are definitely the best!
While enjoying this peaceful moment, Jiang Qiu didn't forget to ask—
"Where's the president?"
"In the student union, after the club recruitment is over, you have to go there to submit reports and files, and you can also receive club funds."
"The equipment in the activity room should be able to be refurbished again soon."
"The former club president even arranged for someone to come and install the gaming equipment this afternoon. You can come and try it out during club activities or after school."
"I've been looking forward to this for a long time!"
Jiang Qiu rubbed his hands together expectantly; this kind of world, constructed from multiple games, was something he had always wanted to experience.
After fidgeting on the sofa for a while, the dog next to me wagged its big, fluffy tail and asked—
"Where's Ah Neng? Qi II San Leng Shi Jiu Qi Chan Li Yi."
"She came over to play games without eating, and her sister took her away."
"This guy's quite addicted."
The dog smacked its lips, already imagining the other person being twisted by the ear by Remiu'an, baring its teeth and begging for mercy.
After lying there for a while, Lappland felt uneasy and quickly rolled over to rest her head on Jiang Qiu's lap.
"Let me lean against you for a bit. This angle is the most comfortable to lie here."
Jiang Qiu didn't mind and casually rubbed the other's furry ears, which felt incredibly nice.
As everyone chatted idly, sleepiness quickly crept in after they had eaten and drunk their fill.
With their eyelids drooping, the clicking of Shino and the others' mouse and keyboard was like a lullaby, completely lulling everyone into a nap.
As the area around the sofa gradually quieted down, Shino, who was closest to the sofa, seemed to notice something while playing the game and couldn't help but sniff the air.
Where is that fragrance coming from? It smells quite nice.
Although she was somewhat curious, her attention was quickly drawn to the intense battle in the game.
Kaguya and Ginrou also noticed the faint fragrance, but they didn't pay much attention to it.
The dog, resting its head on Jiang Qiu's lap, was gradually being affected by the succubus's aura and was starting to react instinctively.
After letting out a few restless hums, it couldn't help but shake its head.
But as Jiang Qiu gently rubbed her head in a soothing gesture, she quickly calmed down, her big tail swaying, clearly in a very pleasant mood.
Just then, Kaguya's phone on the table suddenly vibrated, pulling her attention away from the game.
Upon seeing the notification from Eirin and then smelling the strange fragrance, Kaguya's expression immediately changed.
Under the silver wolf's puzzled gaze, the guy opened the table and rummaged around for a while before lighting incense in the room.
"Why did you suddenly start fiddling with this thing?"
"They look quite tired, let's light some aromatherapy to help them sleep."
Kaguya casually explained, then fanned herself with her hand to make sure the scent of the incense had suppressed the succubus's aura before letting out a sigh of relief.
Chapter 75, Section 76: Lappland's Dream of Self-Sacrifice and Sealing
"Kaguya, why does this scented oil smell a little dizzying?"
Silver Wolf asked somewhat vaguely.
At first, I thought the smell was quite pleasant, but as I kept smelling it, my head inexplicably started to feel dizzy.
A strange sense of excitement stirred within her, driving her instinctively toward the true source of the fragrance.
With her consciousness disrupted, her game controls gradually became distorted, forcing her to temporarily save and stop.
Kaguya remained silent, only glancing warily at Jiang Qiu, who was fast asleep on the sofa.
Damn, did it linger for too long? The fragrance has spread this far.
This guy's a bit weird!
Kaguya shook her head, trying her best to stay awake.
However, she did not sit idly by and wait for her fate. She got up and opened the window of the activity room.
As the breeze from outside blew into the room, dispelling most of the fragrance, Kaguya's consciousness cleared considerably.
Silver Wolf dared not sit in his seat any longer and ran to the window to desperately breathe in the fresh air outside.
Sinon, who was closer to the source of the succubus's breath, felt her legs were about to give way and she almost staggered to the window.
Breathing in the reassuring fresh air, the unnatural blush on her face faded a little.
But while the three of them regained their senses, the dog, clinging to the edge of the abyss, was now practically limp.
Without realizing it, she turned her lap pillow around and, almost instinctively, pressed it against the source of the evil.
Completely dominated by evil thoughts, Lappland slowly opened her small mouth, revealing her deadly fangs.
Nourishes—
The slight sound of the zipper being pulled was instantly drowned out by the sounds coming from outside the window, as if nothing had happened.
However, the succubus aura enveloping Lappland seemed to have thickened slightly, further eroding and sealing off all escape routes.
Under that completely unconscious rubbing, the seals on Jiang Qiu's body showed signs of being broken.
Until the moment the seal was completely broken, before the evil artifact could appear, the great Lord Lappland, driven entirely by instinct, chose to sacrifice himself to seal it.
"Ugh—Ugh? Ugh."
Just as the feeling of suffocation swept over him, the dog almost woke up.
But as she quickly adapted, she pretended it was a dream and fell asleep again, which even deepened the seal.
The powerful adaptability of the seal even affected Jiang Qiu in her sleep, causing her to subconsciously tighten her seal.
While the two were secretly connecting online, Silver Wolf and the others, unaware of the situation, looked suspiciously at the incense burning in the distance.
"Kaguya, did you buy this scented diffuser from a legitimate store? Something feels off about it."
"This is one of the gifts Chaldea gave to Eirin during the previous holidays."
"But Yonglin doesn't usually use this thing, so she left it for me to play with, and it's been sitting here untouched."
"Could it be expired?"
"It shouldn't be that fast."
"After adding the fragrance, I smelled another scent before Kaguya lit the incense, and it was really intoxicating."
Now that you mention it, I think I can smell it too.
Sinon and Silver Wolf whispered to each other, then sniffed carefully again, trying to pinpoint the source of the excitement.
Seeing the two guys' dangerous actions, Kaguya's eyelids twitched, and she quickly stopped them, revealing the information about the Succubus's Breath to the two of them.
Upon learning the truth, both of them had strange expressions and looked at Jiang Qiu in the same direction.
This was the first time they had ever heard of such a constitution.
However, when all three of them noticed Lappland and Jiang Qiu's obviously strange lap pillow posture, their eyes suddenly narrowed.
"Was that just my imagination? I have a feeling that Lappland is there."
"No, it can't be that bad, can it? In broad daylight, that's just too outrageous."
"Don't forget the effect of that aroma. Lappland was resting her head on his lap the whole time, she's practically been marinated in it."
"Hiss—is there any hope? Has the aroma completely clouded my mind?"
The three of them stared intently at the dog's motionless back, their throats tightening inexplicably.
The three of them were startled when a familiar sound of footsteps came from the corridor.
Asuna is back!
"Quickly, quickly, block those two things, they're making a bad impression."
"It's not too late to talk about this after we've explained the situation to her. Anyway, nothing's been done."
"The clothes don't cover it up very well."
"The sofa cover is big enough to make do with, hurry up!"
"We're looking for it!"
As the three of them busied themselves in a hurry, Asuna finally arrived at the door of the activity room.
Hearing the slightly chaotic sounds inside, she couldn't help but pause in surprise.
What are Kaguya and the others up to now?
As she pushed open the door to the activity room with some doubt, she saw Kaguya and the others sitting obediently at their computer desks.
Asuna: "???"
Did I just hallucinate?
Asuna subconsciously turned her head to look at the sofa, and her eyelids suddenly twitched violently.
The sight of a corpse covered in white cloth was extremely striking and gave off an indescribable eerie aura.
Silently gazing at the large, fluffy tail dangling from the white cloth, Asuna immediately recognized the corpse.
