Miss Player, please don't cast spells on me.

As Hiyomiya Noon spoke, she bent down to bite Kiyono Hai's neck, but just then Kiyono Hai's phone, which had fallen to the side, suddenly rang.

Kiyono Hai and the princess turned their heads to look at the screen of their phones almost simultaneously, and found that someone was trying to call them, and the sender's name on the call notification was 'Takigami Rena'.

When the princess saw the name Takigami Rena, which was clearly a girl's name, she stopped what she was doing and looked up at Kiyono Hai, asking him a question.

"girlfriend?"

"Uh...no, we're work partners." Kiyono Hai didn't bother to hide anything and answered truthfully.

"That…"

None Hiyomiya showed no mercy, and before Kiyono Hai could answer the call, she reached out and hung up the phone from 'Takigami Rena' for him.

Just as the princess was about to get back to her business, two seconds later, Takigami Rena's call notification rang again!

"It seems she needs to see you urgently?"

This time, Noon Hiyomi's voice carried a hint of helplessness as she gestured to Hai Kiyono with her eyes to answer the phone quickly.

"Ms. Yang Gong, shouldn't you let me go first?"

Kiyono felt that his current position, with the princess pinning him to the ground, wasn't suitable for answering the phone.

"It doesn't affect it."

But those three simple words made Qingye Hui instantly understand what the woman meant. Helpless, Qingye Hui had no choice but to take the phone and press the answer button.

"Kiyono-kun! What are you doing right now? Working? Can I talk to you about something?!"

Rena Takigami's impatient voice was almost enough to break the entire receiver of the phone.

"Um, Takigami-senpai, I'm a little busy right now... uh, um..."

As Kiyono was speaking, Yoshimiya Noon mischievously bit Kiyono's neck, and then sucked on it forcefully.

"If you're busy, could you please take a moment to talk to me? It's very important! Right now!"

This fox lady is now completely in a state of being on edge. After hearing what she said, Qingye Hui can probably guess what methods she is using to spy on him!

"Is it necessary... uh, so urgent?" Kiyono asked, forcing a smile.

"Yes!" Takigami Rena said on the phone.

Perhaps she was really anxious... She directly shook Kiyono Gray's clone with her hand in the behind-the-scenes cinema of "Sanctuary of the Labyrinth 2".

"What on earth are you doing with her? She pounced on you and started sucking and licking your neck! Is this some kind of therapy?!"

"It wasn't my choice."

Just as Kiyono Hai withdrew his consciousness and used a clone to answer the fox lady's question...

In reality, Yoshimiya Noon seemed to lose interest as she listened to the constant ringing of the phone.

"It seems your colleague really has something urgent to do, and I haven't eaten much tonight either."

After standing up from Kiyono Hai, Yoshimiya Noon tidied her beautiful long hair and said...

"I'll go order some takeout now. Kiyono-kun, how about having dinner with me? You don't mind, do you?"

"of course."

Kiyono Gray sat up from the yoga mat with a hint of regret, while glancing at the fox lady who had just let out a long sigh.

However, before Takigami Rena could catch her breath, the princess spoke in an extremely matter-of-fact tone.

"I don't want my first time in the real world to end in such a shabby environment. Let's go to my room after dinner; that would be more formal."

So you're not planning to give up after all! And since you cherish your first time, don't give it to a boy you've only known for less than ten minutes!

Although Kiyono Ash couldn't figure out what the princess was thinking, there were probably two possibilities: one was that she wanted to use this ruthless method to make the members of the Black Sword Knights completely give up, but this possibility was relatively small.

Given her twisted personality, it's more likely that she still sees this behavior as a way to relieve her stress.

In the past, this princess had no men she found attractive in the real world. In fact, given her personality, she might even have had a slight case of misogyny.

But Xia Nuoer is different. She has already done DO with Xia Nuoer countless times in the game... so she is used to doing this kind of thing. Therefore, she naturally attributes it to a way to relieve stress and forget all her troubles.

But Miss Fox simply couldn't understand what this woman was thinking!

Moreover, not only was it incomprehensible, but Kiyono Hai also saw Takigami Rena in the movie theater, who was hugging her arm and making "Ummumumumumum!" sounds, while her face was filled with murderous intent, making her look like Niou reincarnated.

At this moment, Kiyono Hai could sense that the Fox Goddess was truly determined to stop him and the princess from their 1v1 real android battle that was about to begin that night, at all costs.

Chapter 64 It's time to start preparing for the Witch's Night.

In the movie theater behind the stage.

How could you accept it so easily?!

After Takigami Rena captured Kiyono Hai's main consciousness and brought it back to the movie theater, the first thing she did was point at Kiyono Hai and ask him this question.

"It's just the most effective strategy. If I had refused in the situation just now, let alone psychological counseling... it would have been difficult to even have a proper conversation with her."

Kiyono Hai carefully analyzed for Takigami Rena the mindset of the woman from the Himegami-no-Miya when she saw him.

"What she wants and craves most right now is a sense of 'possession'. She longs to enjoy the feeling of having Xia Nuoer, or rather, the feeling of having a friend who would never betray her."

"So during this time I will play the role of her 'owner,' and of course I will stop her if she really wants to go to base in the end... After all, in reality, doing something like that would cause more trouble than enjoyment."

Kiyono Hai's explanation calmed the fox lady down considerably, but Takigami Rena still harbored a very subtle sense of dissatisfaction.

"The most effective strategy, if you have other methods, is to comfort that woman in such a despicable and obsequious way."

"Judging from that woman's appearance, having a normal dinner with her and then taking some time to see her and have a heart-to-heart talk might be enough to heal her wounds! In any case, there's no need to resort to...selling your body, is there?"

When Miss Fox said those words, Kiyono Gray instantly understood what she was angry about, or rather, what she was struggling with.

Kiyono Gray always felt a unique kind of pleasure looking at the mixture of anxiety and shyness on her face.

This Miss Fox's current mood is neither based on jealousy or envy in any romantic relationship, though she may feel a little jealous.

But rather than liking Kiyono Hai, her feelings for Kiyono Hai now seem more like... trying to persuade Kiyono Hai to reform himself?

It would be easier to understand if you simply swapped the romantic relationship between Kiyono Gray and this fox lady.

This fox lady resembles a powerful 'daimyo' from ancient times, while Kiyono Hai is a well-known 'court lady'.

Thanks to the wisdom of this 'cougar' from Kiyono Gray, the fox lady's territory successfully withstood the enemy's attack.

Therefore, she has always felt extremely grateful to Kiyono Hai.

But she forgot that Kiyono Hai, as a 'court lady', was required to 'entertain guests'.

On a normal day, the clients that Kiyono Ash takes on are all engaged in "literary plays," such as psychological counseling. In the "performance," he manipulates the ladies who play with him. These are all literary plays where he sells his art but not his body.

But now, Kiyono Hai was suddenly called over by a wealthy female customer and immediately fell to the ground.

Takigami Rena is a guest who appreciates talent, is deeply cared for by Kiyono Hai, and is also impressed by Kiyono Hai's 'talent'.

Seeing this scene would naturally ignite anger and prompt thoughts like, "How could you treat yourself like this? You should cherish your body more!" and the desire to persuade Kiyono Ash to reform herself.

Unfortunately... faced with this fox lady's high regard, the 'cougar queen' Kiyono Hai's response was...

“Takigami-senpai, I may not be as clean as you think.”

Kiyono's words struck a chord with the fox lady's sensitive heart, and the surprise and heartache on her face became even more pronounced.

"Huh? Why do you say that?" Takigami Rena asked, puzzled.

"Do you think I was pushed down by female players countless times when I played as Shanor in 'The Principality of Roses'? I should be used to this by now."

Kiyono Hai's answer was probably the most heartbreaking for a customer like Takigami Rena. It was something like, "The body you made me cherish was gone many years ago."

Or, to put it more bluntly, it means, 'This body you cherish has already been enjoyed by countless female gamers.'

"But that's just in a game, isn't it? It's just for show! In real life, you can't just use such self-degrading methods for the sake of efficiency!"

Rena Takigami was clearly getting impatient as she spoke, and she walked directly to Hai Kiyono and put her hand on his shoulder.

"Unfortunately, I don't have as much free time as my senior, Takigami. The demand for psychological counseling in reality is so high that I have to travel back and forth across Tokyo several times a day. So I have to try to resolve each issue in one go. I don't have the energy to provide that kind of 'long-term companionship' therapy."

Kiyono Hai tried to pull away Takigami Rena's hand from his shoulder and continue speaking.

"In such a chaotic situation, for a weak deity like me to survive, I probably need to win over as many true fans as possible."

"I can protect you!"

After saying those words on impulse, Takigami Rena quickly sensed a slightly suspicious look from Kiyono Hai.

This fox lady quickly realized that she had survived the combined attack of the God of Light and Exploration, as well as the gods of "Dream City," entirely thanks to the protection of Qingye Hui.

Under these circumstances, how could she possibly claim to be able to protect Kiyono Ash?

"Then...then...then I can take care of you!"

After hesitating for a moment, Rena Takigami finally expressed her determination with an even more explosive statement.

"If you ever need to use the power of faith in the future, or if you have any wishes you want to make, I will do my best to help you as much as I can."

"Then I thank Lord Tamekatsu God."

Kiyono Hai did not refuse Takigami Rena's request, because if he did, she would definitely continue to pester him.

"But don't worry about tonight. I still have some professional ethics and would never do anything that crosses the line."

"……Um."

Having mustered all her courage and said all this, Takigami Rena wouldn't stop Kiyono Hai's decision any further. She simply grabbed Kiyono Hai's shoulder once more before he transferred his main consciousness back to the real world and gave him some words of advice.

"In short, don't treat me like an outsider anymore! You not only saved my followers, but you also saved me... So I will do everything I can to repay you, and please stop calling me 'senior' and just call me by my name."

"Then... Reina-mae... Reina-chan?"

Kiyono Hai could read in the fox lady's burning pupils her intense desire to repay him and her wish to protect her.

But it's really hard to say whether Kiyono Hai's feelings are based on... repaying a debt of gratitude, or simply on her possessiveness because she's fallen for Kiyono Hai, the 'court lady,' and doesn't want her to be tainted by other women.

But no matter what kind...

"Yes, from now on I will be your companion who will do anything for you. Gray, no matter what trouble you encounter in the future, remember to ask me for help!"

Rena Takigami spoke very directly, as if afraid that Hai Kiyono wouldn't understand her meaning, without including any riddles or lines based on a girl's sense of shame.

But just like every story about trying to 'redeem' a courtesan, a tragic ending unfolds at the end.

"Of course I will never be polite to you again, Rena-chan."
