"Marvelous, Lord Guuji's insight is truly sharp."
The sound of clapping hands echoed.
The next moment, a young man walked out slowly.
The young man's smile was gentle, like a big brother from next door.
But his purple eyes were as calm as water, unfathomably deep.
Qin Yu cupped his hands and said, "Lord Kamisato."
That's right, this young man was the current Kamisato, Kamisato Ayato.
At this moment, he was looking at Qin Yu with a look of admiration.
"I never expected to gain so much from observing today."
"It was truly enlightening, truly impressive."
Qin Yu's expression was calm, "I was merely thinking aloud."
If merely thinking aloud could strike at the heart of Inazuma's situation.
Then what was the point of the Shogunate officials?
This brat was putting on an act.
"I heard you protected my sister today."
"She still can't stop thinking about you."
Kamisato Ayato didn't dwell on it, instead chatting about his sister.
Was he truly Inazuma's number one sis-con?
Qin Yu thought to himself with a strange feeling.
When he used to secretly interact with Ayaka, he had spent a lot of time figuring out how to avoid this man.
Every step had to be taken with utmost caution.
If he were discovered, the consequences would be severe.
This feeling of secretly doing something wrong... was quite thrilling.
The atmosphere softened, and Qin Yu smiled slightly:
"It was merely my duty."
"There's no need to be formal, in fact, I should properly thank you."
"My sister is also here, why don't we..."
"Thank you for your consideration, but I'd rather not trouble you."
Qin Yu's smile was a little strained as he quickly refused.
Seeing the two chatting animatedly, Yae Miko let out a soft huff.
"Little one, in your opinion, how should Yae Island be..."
She stared intently at Qin Yu, her gaze expectant.
Being gazed upon by such a seductive woman was truly an ordeal.
A cunning fox that could capture one's soul.
Qin Yu thought to himself, but outwardly, he shook his head:
"I am but a samurai, how would I understand such matters."
"If you tell me, I will grant you any wish, my dear?"
Did Qin Yu truly not know? Not necessarily.
Yae Miko's tone was playful, as she licked her cherry lips.
An interesting little fellow, I want to devour him whole.
Qin Yu shook his head resolutely.
Stop at the right time, know when to quit.
He had, to some extent, already changed the course of events.
Next, it was up to this Grand Shrine Maiden.
As for the wish...
To take advantage of that cunning fox?
One could only say, wash up and go to sleep, you can have any pose in your dreams.
Kamisato Ayato chimed in at the opportune moment:
"Does the Yashiro Commissioner need to take action?"
Yae Miko shook her head, her smile playful.
It was evident that she had already devised a plan to tease him.
And this time, the target was the Tenryou Commission.
Qin Yu listened quietly to the rest.
He was also very curious how Yae Miko would respond.
However, it was highly likely that she would dispatch shrine maidens.
"I happen to have people at hand that I can send."
Just as expected.
Qin Yu was not surprised.
Seeing Qin Yu's calm expression, Yae Miko's lips curved upwards.
She suddenly asked, "Little one, what do you think is the simplest way to resolve this matter?"
Qin Yu was slightly stunned, what a strange question.
After pondering for a moment, he could not fathom her intention.
The cunning fox's thoughts were wild and unpredictable.
Especially when it came to teasing others.
He could only honestly reply:
"In my humble opinion, it would naturally be for the Lord Shogun to take action."
A god's intervention, this answer is not wrong, is it?
But Ei was currently in isolation, so saying it was as good as saying nothing.
Qin Yu was merely responding perfunctorily.
However, as soon as he finished speaking, he felt something was wrong.
"Pfft."
"Lord Guuji, what are you laughing about?"
"I thought of something happy."
"..."
Yae Miko smiled enigmatically, refusing to say.
Want to know? Come and beg me.
Qin Yu chuckled, giving her a middle finger in his heart.
If no one is going to say anything, neither will I.
The best way to deal with a riddle-teller is with riddles.
He smiled, sighed inwardly, though he knew nothing.
Let's see who gets impatient first.
[Ding, Yae Miko's emotional points +1.]
She was getting impatient, that cunning fox was impatient!
Qin Yu had never felt such a satisfying prompt.
As expected, Yae Miko's smile slowly vanished.
She hadn't expected Qin Yu to actually be able to stay calm.
The consecutive setbacks made her gaze turn dangerous.
"Little one, aren't you curious?"
Qin Yu played dumb, "Curious about what?"
Yae Miko smiled sweetly, "Then I'll send you out..."
"That probably wouldn't be appropriate."
Qin Yu's mouth twitched.
This cunning fox wouldn't be so petty, would she?
This was clearly personal revenge!
"Mm-hmm, I think it's perfectly suitable."
"Lord Yashiro Commissioner, what do you say?"
Kamisato Ayato cleared his throat, "I'll do as the Guuji says."
He also glanced at Qin Yu.
His eyes seemed to carry pity.
Poor child.
Just as the atmosphere became tense,
Yae Miko suddenly burst into laughter.
"Oh my, your expression is truly amusing."
"Are you perhaps unwilling to leave my side?"
Qin Yu couldn't be bothered to argue and simply nodded.
At a critical moment, admitting defeat was not shameful.
"That's more like it, keep it up."
Yae Miko finally patted Qin Yu's head with satisfaction.
"Alright, I won't tease you anymore."
She clapped her hands and said with a light laugh:
"The one handling this incident is her."
Qin Yu subconsciously looked up.
"She is..."
Beneath the Sacred Sakura, a graceful figure had appeared at some point.
Dressed in a pale purple dress, it fluttered gently in the breeze.
