Kusano Kaoru isn't particularly beautiful.
In terms of looks, she doesn't even rank among female celebrities.
To say nothing of the others, among the four members of the Earth Ladies team, her looks are at the bottom.
Why is Lin Yi willing to pay a high price to get her?
Very simple, Lin Yi is interested in her "bitchy" qualities.
Lin Yi can't do things that are difficult for others; he has to create an image of an interesting and good man.
Because girls like that kind of vibe.
But if he wants to be a good man, he has to be clean and keep his distance from other girls.
But if that's the case, it conflicts with his ultimate goal.
So what should he do?
Since Lin Yi wants to do bad things and be a good person, then he might as well let someone else be the bad guy.
Kusano Kaoru is a very suitable candidate.
Putting aside everything else, Lin Yi needs her assistance with the other two members of the Earth Ladies team.
As for Okino Yoko, Lin Yi doesn't want her to take the blame.
Let Kusano Kaoru be the bad guy.
Besides, you can't be a bad guy just because you want to be.
This time, Lin Yi came to Okino Yoko's place intending to train Okino Yoko's skills in dealing with enemies and, by the way, brush up on his favorability by giving her the original lyrics of the song.
But he didn't expect to get an unexpected harvest, capturing a female wingman on the spot.
Lin Yi wanted to take the opportunity to take down the other two members of the Earth Ladies team as well.
Unfortunately, they had to work and couldn't come.
Lin Yi expressed his regret, and could only plan to find another opportunity next time.
But it doesn't matter, three people can play land grabbers for a whole day!
"Huh? You both have schedules tonight?"
Lin Yi was a little surprised to hear that both of them had things to do.
"We were both invited to a talk show."
Okino Yoko nodded: "We agreed to go together, so Kaoru ran over to my place."
Oh, no wonder she appeared at your house…
Although Lin Yi could force them to stay, he didn't choose to do so. After all, there would be plenty of time in the future, and it wouldn't be good to learn all the moves at once.

Eleven o'clock at night.
Eri Kisaki dragged her tired body to the RDO Qing Bar to have a good drink.
Originally, she had always been drinking at the Hanabi Bar near the office.
But since the last time she had an encounter with that stranger, Eri Kisaki no longer went to that bar.
She didn't want to meet him again.
One was that she was afraid that if she saw him too many times, she wouldn't be able to help but ask his name, and the other was that she was afraid that something would happen again if they met again.
For this reason, she even broke her membership card at that bar.
This Sister Qing Bar is a pretty good bar she has found recently.
This bar is newly opened, and the owners are a pair of beautiful twin sisters who occasionally work as bartenders.
Although their skills are not very good, the music here is attractive enough to her.
Of course, these are not the most important things. The most important thing is that there are security guards standing all over the bar. Although they are not handsome enough, they have strong muscles on their bodies, which makes her feel at ease when she sees them.
Most women come here to get drunk and then be taken away by a man.
But there are also a small number of women who come here just to drown their sorrows.
Obviously, this bar is aimed at the latter group of women.
This has successfully won Eri Kisaki's loyalty.
Eri Kisaki came to a seat at the main bar and put her bag aside.
"Ms. Kisaki, you're here again."
As soon as she sat down, the female bartender walked over: "The usual?"
Eri Kisaki nodded and said, "Yes, please."
She carefully observed the other person and then said, "You're Mina, right?"
The bartender, Mina, smiled and nodded: "That's right."
"You haven't been open for the past few days."
Eri Kisaki said, "Did something happen?"
"Ah... it's because my sister and I went to Hokkaido to play."
Mina said a little embarrassedly while making a cocktail, "We were working too hard, so we wanted to take a break."
"Oh... is that so?"
Eri Kisaki knew that this was their first time opening a shop, so she kindly said a few words: "It's not good for business to suspend operations so soon after opening."
"It doesn't matter."
Mina said indifferently, "Anyway, we opened this bar just to find something to do... It doesn't matter if the business is good or not."
"Is that so..."
Upon hearing this, Eri Kisaki was immediately filled with envy: "I really envy you. I've also thought about living such a free life... working when I want to work, and resting when I'm tired."
Mina smiled and placed the freshly mixed cocktail in front of Eri Kisaki, saying: "Here, your drink is ready."
Eri Kisaki picked up the cocktail and tasted it. She savored it carefully, then smiled and said: "Your technique has improved a lot. Before long, I believe you will become a famous bartender."
"I've been practicing all the time."
Mina was praised and felt a sense of accomplishment.
While the two were chatting, other customers soon sat down at the bar.
Mina whispered to Eri Kisaki with a smile: "They're here again."
Eri Kisaki glanced at the group of drinkers in the distance, especially a few who looked very familiar.
They were the ones who often hit on her.
It's just that they had the desire but not the courage, and even their attempts to flirt seemed timid.
Those few who had the courage to flirt were not outstanding guys.
Either they lacked confidence, didn't know how to chat, or were just lecherous.
They didn't understand any romance.
Compared to the people who flirted with her last time, they were not on the same level at all.
A drinker sat down next to Eri Kisaki and asked Mina for a drink.
"We meet again."
The drinker smiled at Eri Kisaki: "I didn't expect us to be so fated."
"Yes."
Eri Kisaki just smiled and then took a sip of the cocktail, thinking unhappily in her heart: You come here to drink every night, how can we not meet?
"After meeting so many times, you should tell me your name."
The drinker said.
Why should I tell you my name? Do you want to cling to me?
Eri Kisaki gently shook her wine glass and said, "It's not time yet."
"That's a bit unfair."
The drinker said, "You know my name and occupation, but I know nothing about you."
I didn't want to know these things, you told me yourself.
"Really? Sorry, I forgot."
Eri Kisaki showed an awkward but polite smile, constantly hinting to the other party: I'm not interested in you, get lost.
The drinker didn't want to give up, he continued, "It doesn't matter if you don't remember, I can tell you again, a thousand times, ten thousand times."
Before Eri Kisaki could speak, another drinker next to her said, "I say, can't you learn to know when to stop? It's obvious that she's not interested in you. If it were me, I would have shut my mouth and left consciously."
"Heh, it's not like she's interested in you."
"At least she doesn't hate me."
"..."
Eri Kisaki drank her wine, silently listening to the two drinkers arguing for her, and her tired mood immediately improved a lot.
