My name is Levi, and I work in anime.

"..."

As a well-traveled and upright gentleman, Li Wei naturally wouldn't make embarrassing "ahhh" sounds like some herbivorous male protagonists, and then desperately cover his private parts to make the other person leave. Instead, he looked at the stupid vampire with a strange expression.

Rather than believing that this person suddenly developed a desire to reproduce with humans, it's more likely that she saw something strange and misunderstood.

"What are you here for?"

"Let me scrub your back!"

Arcueid looked excited: "I've seen it all on the computer you gave me. The post-battle scene should be the male and female protagonists taking a bath together, getting intimate, and then [beep] having sex, right? Shall we go through the motions?"

"..." Tohsaka, Tohsaka, you always manage to come up with something new.

I thought that your arrival at the Clock Tower wouldn't have any impact on Japan, but I never expected that the aura of your failure would be so terrifying, completely affecting the True Ancestor.

Looking at the naive, clueless vampire who hadn't noticed anything amiss, Li Wei remained silent for a few seconds, unsure of what to say.

"In short, watch fewer Japanese movies with only two or three actors; the plots in them are all made up."

"Huh? Does that mean all those NTR-themed novels and movies are fake?" The stupid vampire was shocked.

"of course."

"The plot involves a haughty young lady with twin ponytails using a series of methods to win over the boy she likes from various types of beautiful girls, including a childhood friend with dual personalities, a purple-haired, busty killer, a marriage-obsessed female teacher, and a musical prodigy..."

"It's made up."

"When a girl finds something wrong with a boy, she forces him to submit, and eventually he becomes so depraved that he can't live without her..."

"That's all made up."

"The man, forced by circumstances to supplement his family's income, went to work as a pole vaulter at a well-known women's college..."

"It's all made up."

"The wife made a mistake at work, and the husband, in an attempt to make amends, lost his job as the female boss's secretary and was ultimately 'completely exploited'..."

"It's all made up too."

"The male and female protagonists separated in junior high school, during which time a delinquent girl with blond hair took advantage of them, and in the end, they succumbed to her superior bedroom skills..."

"It's still all made up."

"The female lead loves playing baseball, and the male lead is a baseball manager. To help the female lead, he has no choice but to [censored] with the coach, and in the end, the whole team..."

"Stop reading those nonsense things. In reality, you can't capture a man's heart and make him submit with your body. You've been reading too much Japanese porn!"

"Oh……"

Oh my god, why do you look so disappointed?

"Then, do you still want me to scrub your back?"

That's what idiots are like; their disappointment comes and goes quickly, and they quickly recover from negative emotions.

"……Can."

Li Wei paused for a moment, then made a decision—as a proper gentleman, he absolutely could not let his friend feel embarrassed or disappointed, even if the other person was not human and was an idiot.

"Great!"

Arcueid rallied, then leaped up, flipped over, and jumped into the bathtub, churning the enormous vessel—enough to hold seven or eight people at once—splashing water everywhere.

I don't know if it was because I was too nervous today, or because the floor was a bit slippery, or because there was too much water vapor, which made the landing location unsuitable, and it just happened to hit Li Wei.

Instinctively to prevent injury, Levi reached out and caught Arcueid, a movement that brought the two of them close together as they sank into the water.

It feels very soft to the touch.

Zhen is so cute.

"Hehehe, I'm so cute, right!"

Although he's a bit of a fool, he's very clear about his strengths. In fact, he's not as foolish as people think.

Before Levi could let go after confirming he wasn't injured, Arcueid hugged him back, pressing her entire body against the boy's, both feeling each other's body temperature and heartbeat.

"..."

Li Wei was visibly taken aback by the vampire progenitor's proactive attack; he hadn't expected her to do this at all. But since that's the case…

He tentatively reached out and gently stroked Arcueid's hair. She didn't resist; instead, she made an inviting gesture.

"So cute."

Li Wei confirmed this again, and neither of them wanted to separate from this situation anytime soon.

……

On the other side, the Yukinoshita family.

Just as Li Wei was enjoying the pleasure brought by the battle, the three Yukinoshitas, after the party ended, gathered in their living room, looking at each other in silence.

"How far have you two gotten with him?"

Lady Yukinoshita, sitting upright opposite her two daughters, asked this question seriously, as if it concerned the prosperity of the family.

Chapter 32 The Yukinoshita Family's Life Discussion

This is the umpteenth time the Yukinoshita family has held a family meeting.

Undoubtedly, as a family without male heirs, the responsibility of revitalizing the family business rests on the abilities of these two daughters. Adhering to the traditional philosophy of "holding big meetings for small matters and small meetings for big matters," from the time Yukino entered junior high school, whenever there was a sufficiently important matter, her mother would consult with the two sisters.

However, it seems that one character who should be present is missing from the scene: the father of the two, the son-in-law who married into the Yukino family, and the husband of the super-tall Yukino.

Sadly, she tragically died in a traffic accident a few years ago, which has made the Yukinoshita family's situation increasingly difficult. As a result, Haruno has taken on many extra family tasks to help ease the burden on her mother.

Thinking about it, it's quite a poignant situation.

"...?"

Hearing her mother's question, the larger Yukinoshita was a little slow to react, while the smaller Yukinoshita understood her mother's meaning first.

It's also possible that the shock she experienced today was too great. After all, dancing with a handsome boy on the center stage in front of everyone at one of the most prestigious parties in Japan is practically a modern-day Cinderella fairy tale. No girl could resist such a story.

This has resulted in Hino, who was originally smarter than her younger sister, still feeling dizzy and reacting much slower than usual.

"A friend who's a little better than the average classmate, maybe?"

In front of her mother, Yukino Yukinoshita completely abandoned her usual playful and teasing personality towards Li Wei, and sat up straight as she answered, "After all, I'm exactly three grades older than him. I was already in college when he was in high school."

After this incident, she probably won't dare to tease Li Wei anymore.

Put yourself in their shoes. Imagine you often get the better of a simpleton who looks like Wang Baoqiang, but then he turns around and takes you inside, saying, "I am Feng Yuxiu, here to settle scores and decide life and death." What would you do?

At this point, perhaps all we can do is smile.

"Yukino and he get along quite well; she even rode home on his motorcycle last week," Haruno added.

At this point, both mother and daughter looked at Yukino.

"We have a pretty good relationship?" Yukinoshita's tone wasn't very certain, and she seemed to lack confidence.

What exactly is my relationship with Li Wei?

My classmates' opinions are definitely more than that; I would never casually ride on a boy's vehicle home.

They're definitely not boyfriend and girlfriend. Although seeing Dokushima and him being intimate in the next class makes me uncomfortable, it's not to that extent.

"That's it."

Lady Yukinoshita looked thoughtfully at her two daughters, a hint of helplessness flashing in her eyes.

I had met Li Wei a few years ago. At that time, he was only up to my chest. He would politely call me "big sister" when he saw me. He was very cute.

After the adoption attempt failed, he didn't press the issue further. Had he known things would turn out this way, he should have used some means, at least to get Yukino transferred to another class as his deskmate or something.

The current situation is very awkward.

"Which of you two contacts him more frequently?" Mrs. Yukinoshita pressed. "We usually have more formal exchanges with him, or go out together or do activities together."

We always treated that child like an ordinary person, and only now have we realized the seriousness of the problem.

Fortunately, my daughters are all of high quality, and since we met early on, I have every opportunity.

Just mentioning this, the two sisters sitting opposite their mother exchanged a glance, and then simultaneously looked at the enormous Yukinoshita with very strange eyes.

"Well, it seems like the person he has the most formal conversations with is you, Mom."

Yang Nai said this cautiously, afraid that his mother would get angry: "Don't you remember? The time before last, when a competitor from another company used underhanded tactics, he was the one who somehow managed to handle it."

Lady Yukinoshita: "..."

"The time before last, it was also a meeting, but Dad was sick and couldn't attend, so Mom, you asked him to fill in as a substitute, didn't you?"

Lady Yukinoshita: "..."

“The time before last, my mother was in a car accident. She was in despair, but then he suddenly appeared in front of her and carried her home.”

Lady Yukinoshita: "..."

"The time before last..."

"Alright, let's leave this topic at that." Seeing that his two daughters were looking at him with increasingly strange eyes, the head of the family decisively exercised his authority and ended the conversation.

If we continue, the atmosphere will become even stranger.

"Besides that, are there any rumors about him at school?" the enormous Yukinoshita asked a new question.

Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated. Now that we have seen a possibility that could elevate the Yukino family to the top, and we have a very good chance of seizing it, we cannot let go and must strive for it at all costs.

Just like before, in order to revitalize the family, she decisively chose a husband who seemed talented and easy to control. Rather than for love, it was more about living together for mutual benefit. The Yukinoshita family did indeed achieve some development... but their abilities were still far from what she wanted.

No matter how much they develop, the Yukinoshita family is just stuck in Chiba City, barely managing to get a seat in the council, which is nothing compared to their aspirations when they were young.

It's been twenty years since I got married, and I've gone from a young girl to the mother of two young girls. How many twenty-year periods does a person have? It's like being a stock investor who's stuck with a losing stock.

Thinking about this, Lady Yukinoshita felt inexplicably weary.

I should have listened to my senior; at least I'd be happier now.

"Everyone says that Li Wei is a kind and righteous gentleman who is both polite and courteous. He often helps his classmates and has excellent medical skills. People from outside the school often come to present him with banners of appreciation," Yukino replied thoughtfully.

"I wasn't asking about that; I was asking about matters between men and women."

Lady Yukinoshita was somewhat helpless; Yukino still didn't understand what she meant.

"As for the relationship between men and women? There are quite a few rumors about that." Yukino recalled the rumors on the school forum, filtering out some of the crazy comments from upperclassmen, underclassmen and boys, and gave her answer: "Some say he likes tsundere twin tails, some say he likes long black hair, some say he likes fighting girls, and some say he likes tomboyish types."

"Is that all..." Yukinoshita, who was extremely large, was somewhat disappointed. This information was completely useless.

"However, I once saw him admit that his favorite type of girl was the traditional Yamato Nadeshiko, the kind who wears a kimono and has long hair." Yukinoshita added, recalling the Ryougi who used to often hang out with Li Wei.

Then, she realized that the atmosphere seemed a little off.

To be precise, it was my mother, dressed in a traditional kimono with her long hair tied up at the back of her head, whose expression was unpredictable.

Chapter 33 The reason you died was because you dared to use this face (Bonus chapter with razor blades)

That night, in Li Wei's dream.

Today's dream was different from usual. When the boy opened his eyes, he saw neither Scáthach's stern yet loving face, nor Skadi's loving yet stern expression.

The environment was no longer the familiar land of the dead, the Land of Shadows, but a luxuriously decorated and tastefully furnished room.

The room seemed meticulously designed, with the lighting perfectly adjusted—not too bright, yet offering just the right amount of view of the surrounding scenery, creating a sense of mystery and allure. The overall decor was predominantly pink, with pale pink gauze curtains hanging from the ceiling, completely enveloping the large bed, making the entire environment appear very dreamlike under the dim lighting.

The surrounding decor was equally bizarre. The paintings on the walls depicted the story of Aphrodite's tryst with Ares, the god of war, which was discovered by Hephaestus, the god of fire. The sculptures leaning against the walls were of Babylonian bewitching women dressed in purple and crimson and holding golden cups. The sounds of music and revelry filled the air, making it feel as if one had stepped into an ancient brothel. None of the overall atmosphere conformed to propriety.

A strange fragrance filled the air, as if some odd spices had been added. It entered the body through the nasal cavity and continuously stimulated the brain, making people feel excited but also confused, and somewhat unable to distinguish reality.

Of course, more eye-catching than any of these is the woman of the house, who is resting on the large bed, seemingly completely unsuspecting.

Because of the lighting and the light pink gauze curtains obscuring the bed, Li Wei couldn't see her face clearly. But judging from her figure, she was undoubtedly a beauty rarely seen in the world.

She was wearing only a very thin nightgown, which created a hazy, alluring effect that constantly drew others to come forward and catch a glimpse of her beauty.

"Didn't I just replenish my mana with Scáthach and Skadi just the day before yesterday? Why would I have a dream like this?" Levi wondered.

Clearly, the woman lying on the bed didn't care about the boy's hesitation. Instead, she kept gently beckoning him to come closer and used a soft, sweet voice to entice him:
