He who often walks by the river cannot avoid getting his shoes wet.
Qin Yu silently raised his head and sighed.
He just wanted to have breakfast with the shrine maiden.
But fortunately, a certain young lady passing by spotted him.
Since it was such a coincidence, why not go together?
And then came the delightful and loving breakfast time.
Having a few girls around him was also a kind of enjoyment.
... Not!
Recalling the scene at the time.
Sakura, with her imposing aura, naturally ignored the glances of the other two women.
After finishing her dango, she left directly.
Leaving behind Qin Yu, who was being held by the two young ladies.
Someone was tragically abandoned.
"Alas."
The sound echoed, particularly clear in the quiet room.
This was no longer the breakfast stall.
But do not misunderstand.
Qin Yu had not been locked in a basement.
This was the solemn and majestic Tenshukaku.
The next moment, two gazes fixed on him from the side.
"Tired? I have some freshly brewed tea here."
"Little Yu can also rest by my side."
Qin Yu shook his head silently.
Now he was sandwiched between Shuuya Chiyo and Kamisato Ayaka.
And in front of the Shogun herself.
What happened to focusing on work?
Although the imposing Shogun.
Was leading the charge in slacking off and peeking at romance light novels.
This is not good.
If this continues, the Bakufu's style will be ruined.
[Ding, harvested a large amount of emotional points through hugging this morning]
[The stronger the emotion, the greater the chance of rare rewards]
[Do you wish to open the reward now?]
Qin Yu: ...
Although the system's logic was sound.
He felt something was strange.
Did this large amount of emotion guarantee sweetness?
Qin Yu silently thought: "Open it."
[Ding, 5-star Anemo character talent]
Qin Yu's eyes lit up.
5-star, another 5-star.
His luck was truly good, wonder which character it is?
[Yakshas Guardian: Xiao]
[Combat Talent: Cloud Retainer's Guidance]
It's actually the happiest E skill.
The elegant and swift charge displacement was deeply impressive.
It perfectly suited him, a young man of Anemo.
[Note: This talent can be used in mid-air]
Qin Yu was overjoyed.
This time he had truly drawn an extremely practical talent.
With Xiao's talent, coupled with Keqing's displacement.
Mobility was simply off the charts.
Qin Yu: There's still one more talent.
[Mysterious character to be met soon]
[Unlock by checking in]
Qin Yu: ... Still being coy.
[Because this talent is very strong]
Qin Yu nodded slightly, trusting you this once.
His consciousness withdrew from the system.
Inside the Tenshukaku, it was quiet.
Shuuya Chiyo and Kamisato Ayaka were diligently handling official documents.
The Shogun was reading a light novel.
"..."
He might as well look at the documents that needed processing.
"Hmm..."
Qin Yu pretended to read.
In reality, this slacker was preparing to space out.
Suddenly, elegant handwriting caught his eye.
"It's from Liyue."
Qin Yu was slightly taken aback and continued reading.
Liyue's initiative, hoping for cooperation with Inazuma.
Heard the Sakoku Decree was ending, were they sending a signal?
"Heh."
Qin Yu chuckled.
He dispatched personnel.
And they even came looking for him.
He instinctively looked towards the imposing Shogun in the distance.
This document came into his hands...
It meant Ei did not object.
But it sounded like trouble, which he definitely wouldn't get involved in.
He'd just find someone else.
Thinking so, he read on...
"Yuheng?"
Qin Yu silently stood up.
It was his good pen pal.
Kekeco, who was determined to drag him to Liyue for overtime.
A rare opportunity, should he meet her in person?
If he missed this, she wouldn't have time to come to Inazuma again.
"..."
In the distance, Ei sensed something and looked over.
"Your Excellency, Shogun."
Qin Yu took a deep breath, his gaze meeting hers.
"I wish to set sail."
...
Inazuma City.
After bidding farewell to the few women, Qin Yu left the Tenshukaku.
Next, he headed to the port.
"Hoo."
He gazed at the midday sun and nodded to himself.
The Tenryou Commission's fleet still needed some time to assemble.
Might as well think about what preparations were needed for sailing...
With a plan, there would be one more layer of insurance.
"Hmm, will this be useful?"
On the street, Qin Yu picked up an adventurer's tool.
"The renowned Traveler's standard weapon!"
The adventurer merchant boasted, giving a thumbs-up.
Qin Yu rolled his eyes.
A blunt sword, and he's boasting.
He didn't even know when she would arrive in Inazuma.
After browsing for a long time, he prepared to leave out of boredom.
Nothing novel.
"Wait a moment, big brother!"
Suddenly, a child's cry came from afar.
"?"
Qin Yu looked at the child running over.
"Little one, what's the matter?"
"Hehe, there's a package for Lord Qin Yu."
"Who gave it to you?"
"Mmm, someone whose appearance I couldn't see clearly."
The child handed over the package and ran off.
Qin Yu called out a few times, then shook his head.
He didn't feel any joy at suddenly receiving a package out of nowhere.
Who would give it to him?
He subconsciously looked at the signature on the package.
Qin Yu mumbled and read it out:
"The best toy... manufacturer from Snezhnaya?"
Snezhnaya? Fatui?
Could this be a bomb hidden here?
Just then, the package trembled violently.
"What!"
Qin Yu's eyes flashed, and he was about to use his elemental power.
"Bang!"
Suddenly, the package shattered.
Immediately after, a doll emerged.
It was a lifelike doll girl.
She wore a long dress and her skin was translucent.
The most peculiar thing was her brown hair.
It was real human hair, attached strand by strand...
"You are..."
Qin Yu narrowed his eyes.
The doll girl blinked her azure eyes.
Suddenly, she smiled.
The sweet and adorable doll girl tilted her head.
"I've finally reached you, Qin Yu."
"You can call me by my name, Sandrone."
"Or—"
"'Puppet'."
The polite girl was graceful and composed.
But Qin Yu's gaze flashed with a cold glint.
"A Fatui Harbinger..."
