"Because you haven't left this forest for three hundred years, and hadn't spoken to anyone in three hundred years," Dubian Che said with a hint of laughter in his voice.

"If it's possible, please tell me the way to the end of the world, I can agree to any conditions!" Jiutiao Meijie said loudly and firmly to Xiaoquan Aonai.

"I only have one-third of the path," Xiaoquan Aonai withdrew her gaze from the demon and looked at Jiutiao Meijie.

"Did Mr. Demon play dirty?" Jiutiao Meijie asked.

"I sacrificed 'death' and became an immortal witch."

"'Death'? Isn't that a good thing?"

"It is a good thing, but those who traded their death all ended up dying in the end," Xiaoquan Aonai said indifferently.

"The demon deceived you?!"

Dubian Che shrugged his shoulders on the side.

"No," Xiaoquan Aonai explained, "People fear the demon, afraid of the death and deceit he brings, but when they learn that 'death' can be traded, almost nobody can resist such a temptation."

"Losing 'death' in exchange for immortality, as well as power and wealth," the girl nodded. Such a temptation was indeed irresistible.

"But," the witch said, "once humans gain immortality, their desires expand endlessly. Most who are determined to only trade once in the beginning end up losing themselves, becoming complete slaves to the demon."

"You're quite the demon, Mr. Demon," Jiutiao Meijie said with a smile, as if praising a cunning friend.

"Thirty million years ago, I came up with a brilliant idea," Dubian Che said, appearing rather proud.

The girl ignored the demon and continued to ask the witch, "If so, why still trade 'death' for only one-third of the map?"

"Because I didn't specify beforehand how much of the map could be traded," the demon explained in place of the witch.

"Do you hate the demon? Want to destroy him with me?" the girl asked the witch.

"Hey, hey," the demon pretended to be startled.

"No," the witch's response surprised the girl, "whether demon or human, I think we should understand each other. In the trade, I was the one who was negligent, and it was my willing decision, so I can't blame the demon. Those who traded with the demon did so because they wanted to…"

"Exactly, exactly!" The demon nodded vigorously, "Humans really are unreasonable. It was their own decision to trade with me, but in the end, it was as if I tempted them, tarnishing my reputation. You should know, gods might work one day in tens of thousands of years, and recently they don't even work at all, yet I am out doing business every day. Humans should worship me, as I am diligent…"

Ignoring the incessant demon, the girl stared blankly at the witch.

A person willing to understand even demons, someone who would not blame others for their faults.

Perhaps, only such people could resist the temptation to continue trading with the demon.

"Congratulations, you are the first person to ask me for the map and receive it," Xiaoquan Aonai suddenly said.

"What?" Jiutiao Meijie looked puzzled, not understanding what she meant.

Xiaoquan Aonai didn't explain further: "Maybe you can really find 'the end of the world'. When you do, please also tell me its location."

"Wait, I haven't received the map yet..."

Jiutiao Meijie hadn't finished speaking when Xiaoquan Aonai exited the scene.

"What exactly is going on?" She was left alone, muttering to herself.

"Do you need me to tell you? You could trade 'death' like the witch," the demon whispered into her ear, getting close.

"Thanks, but no thanks," the girl pushed the demon's handsome face away without courtesy and kept moving forward.

After passing by the witch, the girl, who never got a map, found the second Secret Keeper - the Shrine Maiden.

After talking with the Shrine Maiden, who also gave no actual map, she found the third Secret Keeper.

Finally arriving at the Immortal Realm, she saw a fairy in a white tulle dress. The girl's villager clothes were also replaced with a white tulle dress.

When the girl left the Immortal Realm to go back to where the witch - the first Secret Keeper - was, she planned to tell her the address of the Immortal Realm through a message.

But she accidentally communicated with someone, drawing the demon's attention.

The demon followed the girl to the Immortal Realm, and the girl was expelled by the fairy, and mankind had no more Immortal Realm.

Rehearsing over and over again, perfecting every detail.

"Uh—" After finishing rehearsal, back in the clubroom, Ichiki Aoi exaggeratedly leaned back, "I'm tired!"

"It's 10 o'clock, time for a bath," Xiaoquan Aonai took out the bedding, ready to lay it on the floor.

"Bath~ bath~"

"Wait a minute," Dubian Che called out to her.

"Ah— you're so annoying!"

"Mr. Xiaoquan, why don't you take a bath, and I'll make the beds." Dubian Che took the quilt from Xiaoquan Aonai's hands.

Xiaoquan Aonai didn't insist, "That would be great, thanks."

Ichiki Aoi and Dubian Che stayed behind while everyone else took their change of clothes and went to the bathhouse.

"It's really surprising," Kiyono Lin said, carrying a basket of clothes, "that you would actually bathe with us."

"Since I've already slept with Dubian, taking a bath together isn't a big deal," Jiutiao Meiji said nonchalantly.

"Um, Jiutiao," Xiaoquan Aonai began awkwardly.

Jiutiao Meiji turned around and gave her a glance, "You haven't slept with him yet, huh?"

"Considering the teacher-student relationship, we should at least wait until graduation," Xiaoquan Aonai explained in a low voice.

"You've liked him since you were sixteen, why care so much? Never mind, it's your business," said Jiutiao Meiji before turning to Mayi Asuka, "You've slept with him already, right?"

"Mhm."

"When was the first time?" asked Jiutiao Meiji.

"Last year's school trip."

"Tell me about that night when we're soaking later, I know the lead-up but not what followed."

"Do we have to talk about that stuff..." Xiaoquan Aonai hesitated as she asked.

"I want to know about Che's first time," Mayi Asuka said, staring intently at Jiutiao Meiji.

"It's a fair trade, sounds reasonable," said Jiutiao Meiji, quoting a line from a drama.

"We have to talk about this too..." Xiaoquan Aonai looked back and forth between the two.

"If you're not interested, you don't have to listen," Jiutiao Meiji said to Xiaoquan Aonai and then turned to Kiyono Lin with a smile.

"Such tedious matters," said Kiyono Lin expressionlessly.

Once in the changing room, the four of them undressed, removing t-shirts, shorts, and underwear.

Four bodies, pale and glistening, were exposed to the air.

Xiaoquan Aonai covered her chest and lower abdomen with a towel while inevitably comparing herself to the other three.

Her bust was the largest, followed by Jiutiao Meiji and Mayi Asuka, and Kiyono Lin... had more than it seemed, although it was still pretty small.

Her own, although the largest, didn't hold a candle to Jiutiao Meiji's, which were perky, white, and large—very enticing.

And Mayi Asuka's looked soft and squishy, like marshmallows begging to be bitten into.

Even if Kiyono Lin squeezed hers, it was hard to make a crease, but they were beautifully shaped, like two clean peaches.

It wasn't just the busts, but also the waists, buttocks, and legs—each person had their own features, but all were very tempting and left one's gaze unsure where to rest.

"Mr. Xiaoquan, you have quite a large chest," said Jiutiao Meiji, soaking comfortably in the pool.

"Ah, thank you. Jiutiao's looks even better, mine seem a bit too big," Xiaoquan Aonai replied while hugging her knees inside the pool.

"Che once said," Mayi Asuka lifted her own bust, "he likes them big but just right."

"Does that mean mine are too big?" Xiaoquan Aonai quickly asked.

"Better too big than too small," Jiutiao Meiji suggested with a glance at Kiyono Lin, who had her eyes closed, "But it's not like you can choose your size, and you shouldn't worry about your body for his sake—Che would say that too."

The three of them chatted about various topics related to Dubian Che while soaking.

Mayi Asuka talked about what happened the night of the school trip.

The story was full of twists, starting with a murder-like rejection scene, followed by Mayi Asuka's first time.

"I was kneeling at the entryway, and he pulled on my left hand..."

"That's his habit."

"Then..."

'This is too detailed! You don't need to be so detailed!' Xiaoquan Aonai submerged her mouth in the water, blowing bubbles with a burble.

'He's amazing... the training, it's amazing...' she thought with a blushing face.
