"How I draw my sword is my will."
Ei shook her head slightly and turned to leave.
"Then I'll get started,"
Yae Miko said, raising the documents in her hand with a smile.
This farce called the Vision Hunt Decree must end.
Soon, Inazuma would enter a brand new era.
"Mhm."
Ei nodded slightly, her tone indifferent.
"Aren't you going to give Qin Yu a little more time?"
Yae Miko's lips curved upwards.
She seemed to have discovered a way to tease her god.
My divine lord.
You don't want Qin Yu to be in trouble, do you?
"..."
Mentioning Qin Yu, Ei stopped.
After a moment of silence, she said coldly:
"If he can't take it, he's just a fleeting passerby."
"I will show no mercy."
"Absolutely none."
The aloof General spoke with seriousness.
"Alright then."
Yae Miko watched her leave, her smile playful.
No mercy?
The words "favoritism" were practically written all over her face.
...
"P-please, walk slowly!"
At the entrance of Yae Publishing House, Sakura walked out.
The editors followed cautiously beside her.
They had to carefully serve this violent, temperamental young lady.
After all, she really intended to tear down Yae Publishing House!
"..."
Sakura extended her hand.
"Miss Sakura, here are the light novels you requested!"
The editors presented them with both hands, their voices respectful.
Suddenly, they seemed to remember something.
They quickly took out a light novel with a pink cover.
"This one was recommended by the editor-in-chief!"
Sakura took it and looked at the cover.
"When a violent and strong woman falls in love, how does she become cute?"
...
Perhaps she should just tear down Yae Publishing House after all.
"P-please, Miss Sakura, calm your anger!"
The editors of Yae Publishing House trembled.
However, the expected violence did not occur.
Sakura gently stroked the book's cover, noticing the keywords.
"Cute..."
For some reason, she thought of Qin Yu.
Under the warm sunlight, his tone had been so earnest.
"Am I cuter than the Raiden Shogun?"
Sakura's lips curved slightly.
Perhaps she could study this.
The aloof country bumpkin completely ignored the word "love."
She didn't know what love was, of course.
But it clearly had nothing to do with her.
...
Inazuma City.
The sky gradually darkened.
It was the rush hour for commuting, and the streets were bustling with people.
"Boss, how much for this accessory?"
At a stall, an elegant young lady squatted down.
She picked up a style she liked, her eyes filled with joy.
The young lady's sleeves were rolled up, revealing skin as fair as snow.
She carried a small cloth bag, filled with various ingredients.
Her fresh yet virtuous appearance.
Had a bit of a homemaker's charm.
Behind her stood a young man carrying large bags of groceries.
It was Qin Yu and Kamisato Ayaka, out shopping.
The stall owner smiled and said:
"Hey, young lady, you have excellent taste."
"Your boyfriend must really like it!"
Upon hearing this, Kamisato Ayaka's cheeks flushed beneath her mask.
She had to admit the owner had sharp eyes.
"Let's get some more—"
Leaving the stall, the two walked hand in hand along the street.
"Master, are you tired?"
Kamisato Ayaka looked at Qin Yu, her gaze gentle.
Indeed, when they were alone, she preferred calling him "Master."
Qin Yu smiled and shook his head, "I'm fine."
Although holding hands increased the burden on his one free hand carrying groceries.
But it was not important compared to enjoying the girl's warmth.
Besides, Ayaka's small hand was so soft.
Holding it was a pleasure worth savoring.
"Master is so kind."
Kamisato Ayaka leaned gently against Qin Yu's shoulder and said softly.
Just then, they passed by a bubble tea shop.
"Master, please wait here for a moment."
Kamisato Ayaka went to buy Qin Yu some bubble tea.
"Take your time."
Qin Yu shook his head slightly and looked at the pedestrians on the street.
Rush hour, how lively.
...
That's right, it was rush hour.
And also, the closing time for the Inazuma Shogunate.
On the street, Kamisato Ayato and Thoma walked side by side.
"Thoma, where is Ayaka's bubble tea?"
The head of the Yashiro Commission felt a little tired after a day of work.
He hadn't had his sister's bubble tea all afternoon.
"Young Master... the Young Lady has gone to attend to something,"
Thoma walked alongside Kamisato Ayato, speaking tactfully.
This was a lie.
There was no important matter to attend to.
In reality, her date had been disturbed, and she was making a mental note of it.
Still want bubble tea?
Not anymore.
"Is that so?"
Kamisato Ayato chuckled lightly and shook his head.
He had been disliked by his sister again.
It was a pity he hadn't caught that scoundrel who had taken Ayaka away.
Thinking of this, he raised his eyes, his gaze sharp.
"If I ever see Ayaka on a date with someone else again..."
Before he could finish speaking.
Kamisato Ayato's eyes widened.
He saw an elegant young lady wearing a mask in the distance.
She was joyfully running out with two cups of bubble tea.
"It's Ayaka!"
