Chapter 593

Three people crowded into one bathtub, unable to lie down, could only sit cross-legged.

Fortunately, the bathtub was fairly deep, and once filled with water, it could reach up to chest level.

Leaning against the tub wall, with the black-haired straight-haired girl's leg beside her, Jino Setsuna felt somewhat dazed.

How long had it been since she last bathed with someone else? Probably around age ten, when she bathed with her younger sister; after that, she had always been alone.

Jubando, an organization defeated in the Forest Elf's Fight, had fallen into the Dark Forces of the underworld; even as the daughter of the organization's Leader, she had no right to choose her own life.

"In the dark world, decisiveness in killing and strength are both necessary. Setsuna, as my daughter, you will be the head of Jubando in the future. You must be stronger than everyone else, colder and more ruthless than everyone else. Take this gun and kill the person before you."

On her eighth birthday, her father's gift was a human life she had to deal with herself, and a small handgun.

From that time on, she was raised by that cold and ruthless father as an assassin; all she could touch was the dark side of the underworld, doing work for the organization, carrying out various missions assigned by her father—either killing someone or disposing of certain spirits.

And in such a life, her younger sister Jingliu was the only comfort. The innocent girl was like a sheet of white paper not yet blackened by the ink of sin, always sweetly calling her elder sister, wrapping her small arms around her neck with a happy smile, acting spoiled in her arms.

If she and her sister had been born into an ordinary family, perhaps they could be like now with the girl beside her, leisurely soaking in the bathtub together, chatting about meaningless topics.

"Setsuna-nee, do you usually just practice with guns all the time? Don't you have any personal hobbies?"

Without the pressure of inheriting the Jianshan Family Head Position, Isayama Huangquan was a girl very good at interpersonal relationships, and after comparing physical appearances, she drew closer to the Jubando girl beside her who was four years older.

"As for hobbies, does killing count?"

"Are you joking?"

"The darkness of the world, the malice between people, is far deeper than you imagine. Our Jubando is an organization that lives off this. Do you think I'm joking with you?"

Jino Setsuna lowered her voice and said in a threatening tone.

"Always talking about killing, never taking anyone else's life seriously. No wonder your Jubando was driven away by Onmyodo and became a vicious dog doing dirty work for money in the underworld!"

Isayama Meifu, sitting to Isayama Huangquan's right, said sarcastically.

"Hmph, it's just a matter of winner and loser. If Onmyodo had lost in the past and been driven from this country, your outcome and choice probably wouldn't be much different."

Jino Setsuna retorted, but she offered no rebuttal to the evaluation of vicious dog, because Jubando in the current era was indeed an organization that often did dirty and filthy things.

【In the last two years, Father seemed to have the idea of cultivating my younger sister. I must take that child away before Jingliu is blackened by Jubando's filth.

Or, after completing this escort commission and connecting with the Isayama Family, through this connection, could Jubando be whitewashed and return to the world above ground under the sunlight?】

Such thoughts arose in her mind, but the next moment Jino Setsuna rejected them. Leaving aside whether arms dealers and mercenary organizations covered in blood and black material could be whitewashed, just considering the past grudges between Jubando and Onmyodo...

Jino Setsuna did not believe the head of Jubando, her cold and ruthless father, could easily forget this blood feud and turn weapons into jade and silk with the Onmyodo Family.

The other side had always been plotting revenge against Onmyodo, and even part of her teaching was to remember those past hatreds.

Rather than thinking about the unrealistic idea of Jubando being whitewashed, she might as well think about reforming and splitting the Jubando organization herself.

【After completing this mission, Father should give me more internal authority in Jubando. Once I master enough power within Jubando, I can realize my plan. Then Jingliu won't have to be raised as an assassin...】

Jubando was not a monolithic organization. There were those obsessed with past hatreds, and there were those tired of it, wanting to forget hatred and start anew, living well elsewhere.

But these people dared not reveal such thoughts, because anyone who revealed such thoughts in the past would be treated as a traitor to the organization and executed by every Jubando Leader.

However, times had changed. She, the future head of Jubando, wanted to reform Jubando and had already secretly gathered a group of Jubando members who wanted to live normal lives.

Presumably, once the time was ripe, with a single call to arms, even if Jubando could not be completely changed, it would be split in two.

And with Father's personality, he would surely fly into a rage and want revenge. But as long as she was strong enough, she need not fear revenge. On the contrary, Father would have to consider the painful losses Jubando might suffer after going to war with her, and thus compromise.

The girl looked forward to the successful split of Jubando in the future, imagining the scene of leisurely bathing with her younger sister, and a smiling expression unconsciously appeared on her face.

"Smiling so treacherously, you Jubando guy. You must be thinking of some bad idea, right?"

Isayama Meifu saw this and sarcastically said a sentence to her.

"Hah, why should I listen to you, a defeated subordinate?"

Jino Setsuna retorted impolitely, and her good mood was not interrupted because of it.

At night, two more people were added to the house, but there was only one guest room left in the Isayama Family home.

"Make me sleep in the same room as this Jubando guy? I'd rather sit in meditation and rest in the living room."

Isayama Meifu directly refused Isayama Huangquan, planning to arrange for her to share a guest room with Jino Setsuna.

"That's best. I'll take the room."

Jino Setsuna also did not want to stay in the same room as Isayama Meifu. She nodded and said to Isayama Huangquan, and as fellow members of the Onmyodo Family, she still preferred the black-haired straight-haired girl who didn't look at her with strange eyes.

"Hah, why do you get to take it? This is my uncle's house!"

Hearing this, Isayama Meifu immediately retorted.

"If anyone takes it, it's me. As for you, a hired bodyguard, you should consciously sleep on a futon on the floor in the living room and keep watch!"

"I am indeed a hired bodyguard, but the person I'm protecting isn't you. And you're also just someone who came to lend a hand. Your status is equivalent to a bodyguard, but your strength is not as good as mine. As the saying goes, good things belong to the strong. I don't think I need to yield to you!"

The two stood close together at a distance of less than ten centimeters, staring eye to eye, neither yielding in aura.

"Uh, Mei-nee, Setsuna-nee, you two don't actually need to argue. Broly and Kagura will sleep with me. His room or Kagura's room, or the empty guest room, can fully satisfy your needs for sleeping alone."

Isayama Huangquan tried to persuade them, and Isayama Meifu and Jino Setsuna looked over in surprise.

"The three of you sleep in one room?"

Isayama Meifu asked. She felt that no matter who slept on the futon, there was a problem. Tsuchimiya Kagura had high status, and Isayama Huangquan was, after all, her uncle's adopted daughter and the hostess. Meanwhile, Broly, who had just become her uncle's adopted son, was still a child.

"To be precise, sleep in one bed."

However, Isayama Huangquan answered like this.

"Can it fit three? If not, I don't mind squeezing with anyone except her."

Jino Setsuna pointed at Isayama Meifu and said.

"Hmph, I feel the same. Anyone except her is fine."

Isayama Meifu also expressed the same attitude.

Both subconsciously looked toward Tsuchimiya Kagura and Broly beside them. They thought it absolutely couldn't be Isayama Huangquan coming to sleep with them.

"No, no need. My bed isn't small. Three people squeezing slightly and hugging each other can still fit."

Isayama Huangquan stepped forward to block these two's line of sight, joking, how could the younger brother and younger sister she herself acknowledged go sleep with others?

Tsuchimiya Kagura is a soft, tender, fragrant younger sister—not worth mentioning, but Broly is a good treasure younger brother; with his special constitution, holding him while sleeping is simply comfortable to death, how could she let others do it?

【This reaction is somewhat strange...】

Isayama Meifu looked at Isayama Huangquan, who was like a hen protecting her chicks, and couldn't help but produce this subtle feeling in her heart.

【As if sleeping together, there's some secret inside.】

Jino Setsuna, who possesses the Bodhi Eye, then detected even more.

【Is it this kid?】

Through Isayama Huangquan's subtle expression, she precisely discovered the abnormal point.

However, since the customer who needs protection has already spoken to this extent, she also doesn't have to sleep with the boy and girl she only met today.

Night passes without a word, but in the middle of the night, Broly drilled out from between Isayama Huangquan and Tsuchimiya Kagura's pincer attack.

Isayama Huangquan was somewhat alert, awakened by the movement of Broly drilling out of her embrace, and murmuringly asked: "Broly, where do you want to go?"

"I want to go to the toilet."

Broly answered in a small voice, but in fact, he planned to sneak over to tell his summoned creature the new rescue script for the assault.

"Then it's perfect, Sister also wants to go, hmm, Kagura, do you want to go to the toilet?"

Tsuchimiya Kagura was also awakened by the noise, and upon being asked this by Isayama Huangquan, she similarly had a bit of a feeling.

"Hmm."

She gently responded with a sound.

"Then let's go together."

The three people left the room, not knowing whether they were sleepy or just didn't care.

Isayama Huangquan held Broly's hand, and together they entered the toilet.

"Come, Broly, you pee first."

The yawning girl squatted down and directly took off the boy's pants, naturally helping him urinate.

Broly: "…"

His own little guy had been helped before, but having him pee like this was truly the first time.

"Eh, you're not peeing?"

Isayama Huangquan waited a while, hearing no sound of peeing, and couldn't help but ask.

"Maybe he's shy and can't pee."

Tsuchimiya Kagura teased from the side.

These days of getting along, she had also been open with the boy and bathed together.

At first, when seeing things only boys have, she was indeed somewhat shy.

But now, she's already used to it.

After all, when sleeping and bathing together, it's not like she hadn't touched them.

Thinking of her shy appearance when they first met, she now also thought the boy was shy.

"Uh, then Broly, you pee yourself?"

Broly didn't answer, but just like refuting the girl's shy evaluation, the sound of splashing urination rang out.

After he finished, he looked straight at Tsuchimiya Kagura, wanting to know who would be shy.

The girl blushed, but still pretended not to be shy and finished her business.

It was Isayama Huangquan's turn, and just as she finished and took out toilet paper to wipe, a surprised voice rang out: "What are you all doing?"

"Uh, solving the urination problem."

Isayama Huangquan subconsciously answered.

"Solving it in front of a boy?"

Isayama Meifu's expression at this moment was very strange; her gaze at Isayama Huangquan was like looking at some dangerous criminal.

And she was also there to urinate; the restroom door wasn't locked, and when she pushed the door open, what she saw was her own female cousin standing up, wiping herself in front of the boy and girl.

Under these circumstances, no matter how you look at it, a female cousin with no blood relation has a big problem; if she called the police now, her own female cousin might be arrested by the police and sentenced to at least three years, thinking the law can't define female molestation of children?

Thinking this way, Isayama Meifu unexpectedly felt somewhat tempted; after all, if Isayama Huangquan were imprisoned for three years, then the Jianshan Family Head position...

Well, it couldn't be hers anyway; not to mention that as a Shadow Family, the Isayama Family has some privileges with the government, but just speaking of her own female cousin being only fourteen years old this year, being an underage girl like this, destined not to be defined as molestation.

"Ah, female cousin, don't misunderstand, I'm not someone with a fetish for urinating in front of children!"

Detecting Isayama Meifu's strange gaze, Isayama Huangquan realized something and hurriedly explained.

"Hmm, I believe you."

【But your eyes aren't saying that; that's clearly the look of treating me as a perverted woman, right?!】

Isayama Huangquan still wanted to explain something, but was interrupted by Isayama Meifu in advance.

"Female cousin, are you done? I'm also in a bit of a hurry."

Having delayed for a while, Isayama Meifu also remembered what she came to do.

And thinking about this kind of thing gives a feeling of being on the verge of bursting.

This made her subconsciously cross her legs in front of the three of them.

"Uh, I'm done, female cousin, please go ahead."

Isayama Huangquan hurriedly wiped clean, stood up, and yielded the toilet throne.

After Isayama Meifu sat down, she was silent for a while, then asked: "Why, why aren't you all going out?"

"Hmm, we haven't washed our hands yet; Broly, Kagura, come over; after using the toilet, hands must be washed clean."

Isayama Huangquan explained like this, and slowly washed her hands by the side.

Broly didn't quite understand at first why he had to wash his hands without using them, but after seeing the white-haired girl blushing red on the toilet, he realized.

Isayama Huangquan discovered she had made a fool of herself and wanted everyone else to do the same, because as long as everyone made a fool of themselves together, she wouldn't count as having done so.

"Cousin, Broly is just a child, you don't need to mind him, aren't you in a hurry, hurry up, shhh shhh shhh……"

Isayama Huangquan said with a smile, even whistling, and she helped wash hands very slowly.

"Isayama Huangquan, you……"

Isayama Meifu did not betray her cool image from their first meeting this morning, blushing and gritting her teeth as she endured.

But the whistling and running water sounds from that side still made her unable to hold back.

"Pfft~"

The sound of a rushing current bursting out of a narrow stream mouth rang out clearly in the restroom.

"Cousin, now I also believe you're not someone with special tastes."

Isayama Huangquan nodded in satisfaction, not going too far, bringing the boy to stay in the restroom, determined to see her own cousin stand up and wipe.

"In the middle of the night, not one of them sleeping, getting up to watch water being conceded, truly sick!"

Jino Setsuna listened to the sounds of footsteps walking past outside the corridor, leaning against the room door, yet she was also clamping her legs tight inside the room.

A bit careless, the soup at night was very tasty, because she had relaxed her vigilance a bit due to the afternoon's events, drank two extra bowls of soup, and hadn't emptied her body before bed, leading to this now.

Jino Setsuna endured, waiting until Isayama Meifu also came out of the restroom and returned to her room before she ran in at top speed, then carefully closed the door.

But on the way, the door was suddenly opened, a group of people standing at the restroom front door, Isayama Meifu looked at her and said with a smile: "Very surprised, right? Your movements are indeed very light, but you still exposed a flaw, and I heard the sound."

Pausing for a moment, the white-haired girl continued: "We've made fools of ourselves, you, a Jubando person, can't be the only one left out!"

"Hmph, being seen won't make me lose a piece of meat, you Onmyodo people are truly boring!"

Broly nodded, very agreeing with her words, because he was indeed called back by Isayama Meifu entering the room after he had already lain back on the bed.

And after Isayama Meifu reached an agreement with Isayama Huangquan, the two pulled him over to watch the current scene, but they didn't know what was interesting about someone conceding.

"Hmph, since you've said it to this extent, then not watching until the end would be disrespecting you, I hope you can be as calm as you said."

Isayama Meifu coldly smiled at her.

Jino Setsuna: "……"

What she said herself, she had to make it happen even tearfully, but she absolutely must not be looked down upon by an Onmyodo person.

Under Broly's bored expression, the Jubando girl completed a shameful performance.

"I said it, this won't make me lose a piece of meat."

"Hmph, when saying this, trouble yourself to look in the mirror first, your face now is as red as a monkey's butt!"

"Sister Huangquan, can I go to sleep now?"
