At this moment, Arcueid's entire focus was fixed on Lin Luo, paying no mind to Altrouge. Caught completely off guard, she was struck in the abdomen by an Altrouge kick, which sent her flying instantly.

Boom!

Even though it was a casual kick, delivered without any killing intent, the sheer force behind it was unimaginable to an ordinary person. Arcueid shot out dozens of meters in a flash, crashing heavily onto the ground, rolling several times before finally coming to a stop.

Had it been a normal person absorbing such a blow, their life would have been forfeit, yet...

"You bastard! How dare you ambush me!"

After taking such a hit completely unprepared, Arcueid shockingly stood up again, completely unharmed, glaring at Altrouge with a face full of fury. As the words left her mouth, she blurred again, surging forward with a speed like an electrical discharge, instantly appearing before Altrouge and unleashing a claw strike.

"Idiot, go die!"

Altrouge sneered, showing no inclination to yield against Arcueid’s attack, and pressed her own assault with full force.

"Hey, I'm talking to you two..." Lin Luo felt speechless. Why were they fighting again?

"Bitch, I'll let you know that I'm not someone you can bully so easily!"

"Little slut, those are the words I should be saying to you!"

As they moved to strike each other, they simultaneously hurled insults without restraint, as if failing to trade barbs would put them at a disadvantage... To Lin Luo, they utterly resembled the Aozaki sisters, only these two were more direct and domineering.

Perhaps that was one of the subtle differences between humans and non-humans.

"Pause for a moment, just pause! Now is not the time to fight." Lin Luo pleaded. These two sisters were far more troublesome than the Aozaki sisters; they paid no heed to the location or the atmosphere. Unfortunately, the little innocent wasn't around, so managing the peace wasn't as smooth for him.

"Look at that idiotic, lovesick expression on your face—it's enough to make me throw up the dinner I had yesterday."

"Hmph, you're clearly an old hag, yet you disguise yourself in the appearance of a little girl. That's what I find disgusting!"

"Fight if you must, argue if you must, but don't resort to personal attacks. It’s unbecoming." Lin Luo continued to mediate, though dark lines were beginning to etch themselves onto his face. The sisters were fighting and cursing, seemingly not noticing him at all... Being completely ignored was a serious blow to his ego.

"That’s hilarious. My small stature is called cute; your intellect, however, is an irreparable flaw."

"I can't see anything cute about you. If you're going to fake it, at least be convincing."

"Haha, just say you're envious."

"Tch, I have no envy for such a childish figure... Watch me tear you apart!"

"That stupid face of yours is nauseating... Go to hell!"

The two fought with relish and cursed with satisfaction—it was a cathartic display. They failed to notice that Lin Luo, watching from the sidelines, had turned ashen-faced. After trying to intervene more than a dozen times to no avail, Lin Luo finally lost his temper. He roared, "Damn it! Are either of you even listening to me?!"

They instantly stopped their attack and both turned to look at Lin Luo, bewildered. "Did you say something?"

"..." Right. They genuinely hadn't heard him.

"Stop fighting, please. It's rare for us to meet; we should try to get along harmoniously," Lin Luo sighed inwardly, saying helplessly.

"Harmonious coexistence?" Altrouge cast a scornful glance at Arcueid and sneered, "Coexisting harmoniously with such an idiot, I'd rather just die!"

"Then hurry up and die. Don't be an eyesore in front of me," Arcueid urged quickly.

"You go first, disgusting creature, disappear immediately!"

As they spoke, their rage levels instantly maxed out again. They flexed their fists and sleeves, ready for another satisfying brawl. Fortunately, Lin Luo stepped between them first, temporarily preventing the resumption of hostilities. He smiled wryly, "What's the point? You're sisters. Born from the same root, why cause such strife between yourselves?"

Altrouge stuck out her tongue and licked her lips. Her delicate face was filled with seductive cruelty, and her crimson eyes fixed on Arcueid as she laughed, "Precisely because she is my sister, killing her brings pleasure."

Arcueid returned the look without yielding, "There's a sense of accomplishment in killing the elder sister who wishes to kill me."

Are you two perverts?

Hearing their maniacal words, Lin Luo felt profoundly embarrassed... These two were completely broken. Even the damaged Second Miss never went this far.

Indeed, the Second Miss never intended to kill Remilia; she only occasionally wanted to mess with her until she broke. The Elder Sister wouldn't harm her sibling either, merely imprisoning Flandre in the basement for a few centuries.

You two starved children, you really should learn a thing or two from them.

"You need a little more love in your hearts; stop fighting all day long," Lin Luo tried again. "Look, it’s getting late. Why not go have a meal together, then get some sleep? Once you're rested, you can drink coffee, listen to music, cultivate your sensibilities, and if you still feel like fighting then, that's fine too."

"Why bother with all that trouble? Let's just tear her apart right here," Altrouge said dismissively. "Eating with someone this idiotic will spoil the food."

Arcueid: "Heh, those are precisely the words I intended to say."

"Then come and try it!" Altrouge glared.

Arcueid raised an eyebrow, "Do you think I’m afraid of you?"

Their gazes were as sharp as blades. Lin Luo stood in the middle, feeling immense pressure... These two sisters were far from harmonious, and both were Hosts. Trying to treat them equally was proving too difficult.

As Lin Luo was contemplating this, Altrouge suddenly leaned closer, linking her arm through his, rubbing her washboard chest against his body in provocation. "Hey, want to team up and take this one out?"

"Shameless!" Before Lin Luo could answer, Arcueid erupted in anger, yanking him away from Altrouge and scolding her.

Altrouge immediately gave a cold laugh. "Who was it that just threw herself into a man's arms the second she saw one? Now you call me shameless? You’re not just mentally deficient, your memory is scrambled too, isn't it?"

"Hmph, a shameless woman is always shameless, always thinking of dirty things. He's my friend; we haven't seen each other in three years. What’s so strange about an embrace when we meet?" Arcueid retorted.

"Um... It wasn't three years, it was ten," Lin Luo couldn't help but interject.

"Oh, ten years?" Arcueid blinked, then, seeing Lin Luo nod, became even more self-righteous. "After ten years, an embrace is even more justified."

"Haha, you can't even distinguish between three years and ten years. Your brain capacity is truly astonishing," Altrouge mocked again, then sharply reached out and pulled Lin Luo to her side. "But, this man is my familiar. If you want an embrace, go find someone else!"

"Don't make jokes. I think you are the one who needs to find someone else!" Before Altrouge could even process the jab, Lin Luo was pulled back by Arcueid.

"Screw you, I bit him ten years ago; the contract was settled long ago. Stop being so shameless, you airhead, and let go!" Altrouge glared, pulling Lin Luo back toward her.

"What’s so special about that? I bit him too, and we have an agreement!" Arcueid sneered, making a move to attack, but instead using the opportunity to pull Lin Luo closer to her.

"Agreements are worthless trifles you dare to bring up... He is my property!" Altrouge quickly countered, then yanked Lin Luo back to her side.

"Hey, I'm not property..." Lin Luo was being yanked back and forth between the two, unable to decide what expression to wear. Wait! What did he just say?

"Dream on. We have a contract and an agreement; he is clearly my property!" Ignoring Lin Luo completely, Arcueid pulled him with both hands, trying to drag him over, but Altrouge was one step ahead, gripping Lin Luo's other hand tightly.

"Let go!" Arcueid pulled hard toward her side but failed to move him, immediately growing angry.

"You should be the one to let go!" Altrouge held tighter. "I bit him first, the contract was mine first! Besides, this man knows my secret place—what right do you have to fight me over him?"

"Go to hell with the whole 'first come, first served' nonsense! What's so important about your secret place? If we're talking rights, he slept with me too!" Arcueid was first contemptuous, then proudly stated her claim.

"..." Lin Luo choked. Please, stop this, I beg you, just stop!

"What? You slept together?" Sure enough, upon hearing this, Altrouge showed a look of shock, instinctively glaring at Lin Luo. But her gaze quickly flickered down to Arcueid’s lower body, followed by a cold laugh. "Heh, you're clearly still a virgin, yet you claim to have slept together? If you’re going to lie, at least use some technique, okay?"

You’re amazing, being able to tell if she’s a virgin just by looking... Lin Luo internally griped.

"A virgin?" Arcueid paused, seemingly unfamiliar with the term, and subconsciously whispered to Lin Luo, "Hey, what’s a virgin? Is it tasty?"

Tasty, in every sense of the word.

Lin Luo nodded internally, refraining from mocking Arcueid’s evident foodie nature. Out loud, however, he explained, "A woman who hasn't been intimate with a man, and still has a membrane between her legs, is a virgin."

"Oh." Arcueid instantly understood, then pointed triumphantly at Altrouge and smiled smugly, "Then this one definitely isn't a virgin."

"How do you know?" Lin Luo was slightly stunned. From his perspective, Altrouge was 100% a virgin.

Arcueid answered as if it were obvious: "During our fight just now, I kicked her down there. No matter how high the quality of the membrane, it must be shattered by now, hahaha."

"..."

Hahaha. Lin Luo felt utterly bewildered, standing in the swirling wind.
