The atmosphere in the room, where a pin drop could be heard, grew increasingly tense.
"..."
Yae Miko raised her eyebrows slightly and slowly sat up straighter.
Her divine being, it seemed, was not in a good mood.
What on earth... could trouble Ei's heart?
"Ei, come sit,"
The fox-eared woman smiled and patted the seat next to her.
Come, let's get closer.
"..."
Ei did not respond.
Yae Miko clicked her tongue inwardly.
My divine being...
Still thinking of other things in my presence?
This is truly intriguing.
For some reason, I sense a hint of crisis.
"Ei?"
"..."
Ei was silent for a moment, then sat down.
Naturally, she ignored the empty seat Yae Miko had made available.
The document she had been holding in her hand was placed on the table.
The sly fox's smile grew even more amiable.
"What's this, you even brought a gift when you came."
"Let me see."
Saying this, she reached out her hand, about to take the document.
Hmm... if her guess was correct.
This document was the key to ending everything.
With it, her identity as Sakura would also come to an end.
*Slap!*
Suddenly, Ei pressed down on the document on the table, holding it firm.
She slowly fixed her gaze on Yae Miko, her eyes filled with warning.
"Oh?"
Now it was the sly fox's turn to be surprised.
What was Ei protecting?
Could it be...
A hint of mischief curved her lips into a wicked arc.
Things were becoming interesting.
"So that's how it is."
With a seductive sway, she moved beside Ei and leaned down.
Yae Miko gazed at Ei's profile and whispered:
"Should I call you Ei... or Sakura?"
She was the most beautiful existence in the world, captivating all who beheld her.
At the same time, she was the most sacred and noble embodiment.
But now, this being seemed to have undergone a change.
A change that annoyed the sly fox somewhat.
"Naturally, Ei."
Ei slowly moved her hand away.
Yae Miko took it and began to read.
The decrypted key was already marked upon it.
As she read, she nonchalantly asked:
"Are you ready to end it?"
"Yes."
"Hmm, when?"
"When I feel like it."
"Have your martial arts improved recently?"
"Yes."
"How about light novels?"
"No good."
"Are sweets delicious?"
"Average."
"How is Qin Yu to you?"
"Very good."
The scene suddenly fell into dead silence.
Ei frowned, looking at the sly fox.
"?"
"?"
The two women stared at each other for a long moment.
Yae Miko's smile slowly faded.
She had finally confirmed the source of this displeasure in her heart.
Well, well, my divine being.
You've been hiding it quite well.
Ei took a deep breath, her purple eyes gathering intensity.
This pink-haired fox was intentionally trying to trick her.
It seemed she would have to spank her again.
Just as Ei raised her hand, preparing to act.
"Oh my, Ei, you're so fierce."
"You're not going to silence me, are you?"
"As your retainer, am I not even as important as Qin Yu?"
Yae Miko clutched her chest, feigning weakness.
"Hmph, who is Qin Yu."
Ei closed her purple eyes, her tone indifferent.
Never heard of him.
"Oh my, such a 'cool and aloof' General."
Yae Miko surprisingly did not expose Ei's lie.
But her tone was full of mockery.
"Say one more word, and I'll cut you."
"Alright, alright, I was wrong."
Yae Miko chuckled, covering her mouth.
Someone was anxious to draw their sword, but she wouldn't say who.
"Ei, it's all coming to an end."
"But you don't seem happy."
She sighed softly, her tone melancholic.
Like a jilted little bride.
"..."
The aloof Ei kept her eyes closed, her expression cold.
"Alas, Ei is truly so indifferent."
Yae Miko shook her head, preparing to leave with the document.
"..."
The aloof Ei did not respond.
A smirk played on the sly fox's lips.
"Oh dear, then I'll go find Qin Yu."
"He even uses the Divine Priestess in the Commissionary Magistrate's Office."
"I'm suddenly quite interested in him..."
The aloof Ei slowly opened her purple eyes.
"Hmm, I'll keep him by my side forever."
"I'm sure playing with him will be quite amusing."
The aloof Ei looked at her, her gaze becoming dangerous.
Yae Miko turned around at the opportune moment, a playful smile on her face.
She slowly said:
"It seems Ei doesn't care."
As soon as the words fell, a purple aura erupted in the room.
*Clang!*
The purple aura around Yae Miko's seductive face dissipated, transforming into a Naginata.
Yae Miko raised her hand with a smile.
Her alluring, narrow eyes flickered, glancing at the blade.
Purple energy condensed on the blade, reflecting Ei's face.
Beautiful, and very serious.
"Qin Yu, I care a great deal about him."
