"That's too easy," Tsukihime Yagami said nonchalantly. "My teammate is my brother, of course."

"But you're still missing one."

"Hmph, it's simple. We'll just find anyone. Anyway, with my brother's and my strength, we're more than capable of handling all of you," Yagami Tsukihime said confidently.

"Oh! Very well, then I'll wait and see." Shen Ye nodded to Yagami Tsukihime with an expression of complete understanding. In fact, if it weren't for his appearance, Yagami Iori and Yagami Tsukihime would indeed be qualified to compete for the top three.

"Then you'll just have to wait and see." As she spoke, Tsukihime Yagami put away the invitation, then turned and walked out of the dojo. She couldn't wait to tell her brother, Iori Yagami, about this.

However, just as she reached the door, Shen Ye's voice came.

"Miss Tsukihime, you still have something you haven't taken with you."

"What is that... Damn it, get your filthy hands off me and don't touch my clothes."

Hearing Shen Ye's words, Yagami Tsukihime turned around in confusion and saw Shen Ye grabbing her school uniform top and shaking it at her. She immediately rushed in front of Shen Ye and snatched the top back.

Clutching the clothes to her chest, Yagami Tsukihime glared fiercely at Shen Ye again before turning and running out of the dojo.

With Yagami Tsukihime's departure, the dojo finally quieted down.

Then, Shen Ye returned to the small tea table under the tree to drink tea, while the three women, including Mai Shiranui, continued their cultivation.

They worked even harder this time, after all, Yagami Tsukihime was also participating in the competition, and they wanted to defeat her in the tournament and avenge their previous defeat.

……

At night, at Yata Shrine.

During dinner, Shen Ye told the Kagura sisters about Rugal starting to send out invitations again.

But the Kagura sisters didn't show any surprise, because they had already received the news.

"Kyo Kusanagi and the others received the invitation this morning," Chizuru Kagura said as she poured wine for Shen Ye. "However, it was his father who received it. After his girlfriend's health improved, Kyo Kusanagi went to Mount Fuji for training and hasn't come down the mountain for almost a month."

“He must be feeling the pressure to work so hard.” Kagura Manki, sitting opposite Shen Ye, continued her sister’s words: “Shen-kun is putting a lot of pressure on him. Hmm, and there’s also that heir of the Yagami family. They fought last time and the outcome was not decided. I guess he’s probably practicing the Kusanagi family’s ultimate technique, Musou.”

Kagura Chizuru showed a very interested expression: "Mushiki, I heard that the ancestors of the Kusanagi family used Mushiki to injure Orochi. It is a powerful move. Unfortunately, since then, the successors of the Kusanagi family have become weaker and weaker. There are not many people who know this move. Even the current head of the Kusanagi family, Kusanagi Shizuru, does not know it. I wonder if Kusanagi Kyo can learn it."

“With his talent, he definitely can,” Shen Ye said, putting down his wine glass.

Chizuru Kagura continued to pour him more drinks, saying, "It'll be troublesome if we run into him again next time."

“He’s not much of a problem,” Shen Ye said, shaking his head. “The real problem is Rugal. You know, he was scared away after witnessing my strength last time, but just over two months later, he’s holding another King of Fighters tournament. I guess he must have completely mastered the power of Orochi, otherwise he wouldn’t be so confident.”

“But I remember that mortals are simply unable to withstand the power of Orochi, let alone control it.” Kagura Manki frowned and said, “Even the Eight Orochi Generals only mastered a portion of Orochi’s special abilities.”

"Who knows! Maybe NESTS helped him with special means, or maybe he modified himself and is no longer human." Shen Ye shrugged casually, but his face was full of interest: "Actually, I really want to see how strong Rugal, who has mastered the power of Orochi, is, and how many moves he can exchange with me?"

According to the original storyline, even after Rugal mastered the power of Orochi and gained the special ability to control gravity, he still couldn't defeat Kyo Kusanagi. Moreover, due to overuse of Orochi's power, his body couldn't withstand it and he exploded and died. But now the storyline has become so chaotic, and considering what Rugal said before, Shen Ye estimated that Rugal has become a non-human being. After all, every time he enters a story world, various unpredictable situations always arise for various reasons.

So he's really looking forward to meeting Rugal, wanting to see just how strong he really is...

Although the Kagura sisters no longer doubted Shen Ye's strength, they still shook their heads slightly upon hearing his words.

Kagura Manki continued, "If Rugal really has control over the power of Orochi, then let us deal with him. I heard that Iori Yagami also received an invitation this time, apparently he snatched it from someone else. So, together with Kyo Kusanagi and us, the three sacred treasure families are now all assembled for this tournament. We are the best at dealing with Orochi and those who possess the power of Orochi."

"Alright, I won't steal your thunder." After thinking for a moment, Shen Ye nodded, but felt a pang of regret.

However, he didn't say anything more.

I just had a feeling that things might not be that simple, since all sorts of unexpected things always happen in King of Fighters.

However, if an unexpected event really occurs, that would be exactly what he would like to see. What's the point of a dull and uninteresting match?

……

(Okay, I'm getting writer's block again...)

Chapter 733! Harem Team Number One, Two, and Three

……

Just like the previous competition, there is a month of preparation time from the issuance of invitations to the official competition, which allows those who receive invitations to make various preparations, especially to find teammates.

Although Shen Ye has not yet received an invitation, it is only a matter of time, and his teammates will naturally remain the Kagura sisters.

Actually, some time ago, Shermie had told him that if there was another King of Fighters tournament, she would like to be his teammate. But the problem is, Shen Ye would agree, but the Kagura sisters would definitely not.

Even though the relationship between the Kagura sisters, Shermie, Mature, and Vice has improved slightly during this time, and they no longer exchange sarcastic remarks upon meeting, they still rarely interact, let alone give Shen Ye away.

However, this problem was quickly resolved.

The next day, when Shen Ye went to take Shermie and Huan to work, he heard Shermie, who was touching up her makeup, say, "Mature and Weiss received invitations last night. A little girl gave them to them."

“Little girl, oh, it should be Rose, Rugal’s daughter.” Shen Ye wasn’t surprised that Mature and Vice received invitations. After all, they were quite capable. Without awakening their powers, they might be a bit weak against the Three Sacred Treasures families, but they could handle ordinary fighters.

However, there's another reason why they received the invitation...

Now that Rugal's strength has increased so much, he probably wants to gather them all together and wipe them out in one fell swoop, staging a thrilling one-against-many battle.

So confident!

But that's just Rugal, the "simple" Rugal.

There is only one goal: to defeat all fighters and become the world's number one.

Thinking this was perfectly natural, Shen Ye then heard Shermie say, "That is indeed her name. That's what Mature and Vice call her."

She's very pretty, and although she's still young, she'll definitely be a great beauty when she grows up. But I don't like her. The first time I saw her, I thought she was... well, very cunning and scheming, even though she seems polite and well-mannered.

"Scheming bitch!"

Of course she's scheming!

Shen Ye had read Rose's background information. Besides being a "scheming bitch" and having a sharp tongue, she also had very peculiar romantic fetishes. That's probably the best way to put it!

In any case, if we're talking about villains, Rose is far more qualified than her "pure" father.

While Shen Ye was pondering, Sharm continued, "Besides me, Mature and Vice don't like her either. It's rare that those two cunning women would hate a young girl so much... Oh, right, Shen, I'm also participating in the competition this time, with Mature and Vice. We've even thought of a team name: 'A Certain Man's Harem Team.' What do you think? Actually, I don't think that'll work. It should be called 'Mr. Shen's Harem Team,' but that seems a bit inappropriate and might attract hatred... Hey, look at that face."

Shen Ye glared at her irritably: "You guys came up with this kind of team name, how can I be expected to give you a pleasant look?"

“We were just telling the truth, and we even changed it because we felt it was inappropriate. We didn’t even mention your name, not even to a certain man.” Sharmie rested her chin on her hand, looking at him. “Besides, we are indeed your harem, aren’t we? Don’t you want to admit it?”

Shen Ye couldn't possibly deny it, so he could only nod helplessly: "Then it's up to you."

“Then it’s decided.” Shermie chuckled, then sighed. “It’s a pity that we can only form a team of three, otherwise we could have Tamaki join us. More people would be more in line with the name of a harem team… And Nyotengu, she said she wanted to join last time. Hmm, we could also add Helena, she’s pretty good too. Hey, the three of them could form a team, if we had extra invitations.”

At this point, Sharmie turned to look at Huan, who was quietly listening to her and Shen Ye's conversation, and said, "How about you guys go and snatch an invitation, then form a team to participate? I've already thought of a team name for you: 'Some Man's Second Harem Team,' and we'll change our name to 'First Harem Team'..."

Shen Ye felt that what she was saying was getting more and more outrageous. Before she could open her mouth with a look of interest, he said irritably, "Then should we also rename Xiao Wu and the others to the Third Harem Team?"

“Okay…” Sharmy nodded.

"What a load of rubbish." Shen Ye's lips twitched; he felt this was too outrageous.

However, Shen Ye then thought, if there were more women, could he organize an internal harem competition?

And the prize is yourself?

No, this is even more outrageous, but... it seems quite interesting...

……

After watching Shermie and Huan enter the company, Shen Ye returned to his apartment to keep Mature and Weiss company, who were now completely staying at home.

To be honest, these two women don't have any special skills other than fighting. As for their hobbies... Vice might be more interested in food, while Mature's hobby is skiing, but in this season in Japan, unless she goes to Mount Fuji, there's nowhere for her to ski.

However, that was their old hobby. Now, influenced by Sharmi, they have become interested in electronic products.

It's actually a game console.

If Shermie weren't influenced by the Orochi's will, she would normally be a homebody who could stay home all day playing games. Under her influence, Mature and Vice also became fond of this novel toy and often played until very late before going to sleep.

When Shen Ye arrived at the apartment, the two of them were still asleep.

Shen Ye glanced at the invitations that they had carelessly tossed on the sofa, mixed in with a pile of colorful underwear, and shook his head. In the first month, Mai Zhuo and Wei Si would tidy up their rooms every day, but as they were assimilated by Shermi, they also became lazy. They would never tidy up unless the house was so messy that they couldn't stand it anymore, or unless Shen Ye criticized them in dissatisfaction. Even when Shermi, as the eldest sister, ordered them, it was still no use.

"It's really...it's so hard to learn good things, but it's so easy for them to go astray!"

With a sigh, Shen Ye began to help them tidy up the room and living room.

Now he doesn't spend all day with Mai Shiranui anymore. A few mornings a week, he spends time at the apartment with Vice and Mature, having lunch with them before going to Mai Shiranui's place, or to see Athena. With so many people, he has to treat them all equally.

It's only because he's full of energy right now. If it were an ordinary person, who could keep up with running around like that every day?

However, sometimes he would take leave to go out alone. After all, his body could handle it, but the mental pressure was still quite high. Taking care of each woman's emotions was not as simple as just talking to them.

……

(A mix of everyday life and plot-driven elements)

Chapter 734! The New Hell Band

……

After tidying up the living room, Shen Ye went into Shermie's room, spent some time tidying it up, and then went into Mature and Vice's room.

The curtains in the room were tightly closed, and not a single ray of light could get in. However, even though it was daytime, Shen Ye had no intention of opening the curtains, because Mai Zhuo and Wei Si sometimes slept naked.
