In the middle of the stream, the maiden lightly tiptoed.
She looked at Qin Yu on the bank and said softly,
"Master, Ayaka wishes for you to play a song."
As the eldest daughter of the Yashiro Commission, she was naturally skilled in song and dance.
But her favorite was still with Qin Yu...
Qin Yu played, and she danced to his music.
In their shared gaze, only each other remained in their hearts.
"Alright."
Qin Yu naturally understood the maiden's thoughts.
He leaned against a tree, took out his instrument,
and gestured for Ayaka to begin whenever she was ready.
"Thank you, Master."
Kamisato Ayaka smiled gently and slowly raised her hand.
The maiden's humming began.
The instrument's melody joined in appropriately, harmonizing with the beautiful song.
The stream splashed water droplets, wetting her skirt.
Kamisato Ayaka danced gracefully, her movements elegant.
Her gentle gaze was always fixed on Qin Yu.
Such a captivating dance, the maiden offered only to one person in her life.
[Ding, Five-Star Talent Unlocked.]
[Kamisato Art: Frostbreaker]
...
The song ended.
Kamisato Ayaka's eyelashes fluttered as she opened her eyes.
The dance concluded, and she had also reached the bank.
"Beautiful."
Qin Yu put down his instrument and smiled.
"Is that all?"
Kamisato Ayaka bit her lip slightly, a hint of dissatisfaction.
Stupid Master, he doesn't even know how to praise a girl.
Since that's the case...
Qin Yu extended his hand, "Come up quickly."
The dance was beautiful, but the dancer was even more so.
It was just a bit hard on the socks.
"Mm."
Kamisato Ayaka blinked, obediently extending her hand.
Just as Qin Yu was about to take it.
"Ah!"
Kamisato Ayaka's foot slipped, as if she had missed her step.
"Be careful."
Qin Yu instinctively reached out to catch her.
But the impact of the maiden's fall was unexpectedly strong.
A powerful force struck, and the world began to spin.
Qin Yu's mind held only one thought.
She did that on purpose, she definitely did it on purpose!
Is she trying to betray her master and defy her ancestors now...
The next moment—
With a splash,
caught off guard, they both tumbled down.
"I..."
Qin Yu's head hit the tree, and his ears buzzed.
Did this girl want to break her Master's neck?
Before he could say anything.
"Master..."
The maiden's soft voice called out to him.
Followed by a ticklish sensation at his neck.
Qin Yu instinctively opened his eyes.
In his sight was Kamisato Ayaka, who had accidentally slipped.
Her silver hair cascaded down, bringing a light, elegant fragrance.
She rested her hands on Qin Yu's shoulders, slowly rising.
"It hurts."
Suddenly, Kamisato Ayaka's brows furrowed.
Her small hand weakened, and she fell onto Qin Yu again.
She even wrapped her arms around him.
"Ugh—"
Qin Yu's vision went dark, he couldn't speak.
He was suffocating!
"Master, Ayaka is injured and can't get up."
The maiden's voice sounded in Qin Yu's ear.
Carrying an undisguised chuckle.
...
After a period of chaos.
Qin Yu finally managed to lift Kamisato Ayaka off him.
"Are you alright?"
Kamisato Ayaka sat beside him, her expression concerned.
But the curve of her lips betrayed her hidden intentions.
Indeed, getting close to Master was the happiest thing.
"Huu... I'm fine."
Qin Yu shook his head, calming his mind.
Why did this girl hug him so tightly!
If she acts like this today,
what will happen in a few days is unimaginable.
Kamisato Ayaka blinked and said softly,
"But Ayaka is not alright."
"?"
This girl, she's really enjoying this act.
"Where are you injured? I'll..."
Before Qin Yu could finish speaking.
"It's here."
Kamisato Ayaka had already pointed to her foot.
She had been waiting for Master to ask this question.
"..."
Qin Yu was speechless.
Kamisato Ayaka twisting her ankle? He didn't believe it.
"I'll take you to see a shrine maiden."
Qin Yu wanted to show some of his Master's authority.
However, Kamisato Ayaka blinked and said softly,
"But, wouldn't that be too tiring for you?"
Master, Ayaka is not satisfied with this answer.
Why don't you think again.
"..."
Qin Yu considered a possibility.
"Shall I massage it for you?"
"Mm! Please do."
...
Qin Yu, with an unidentifiable feeling,
first cautiously extended his hand towards her ankle.
The first step was to remove her wet socks.
"Mmm..."
A vague, soft hum from the maiden.
Qin Yu immediately withdrew his hand.
If this continues, he won't do it anymore!
"Sorry, please continue..."
Kamisato Ayaka blinked her watery eyes and said softly.
Wait a minute, why are you blushing if your foot is injured?
"Don't make any more strange noises."
Qin Yu tapped Kamisato Ayaka's head, warningly.
"Just be gentler, Master..."
"?"
In short.
Qin Yu finally touched the smooth...
After a massage, the effect was remarkable.
Kamisato Ayaka could stand up on her own immediately.
"Master, thank you for your hard work."
"Ayaka is very satisfied."
The maiden smiled contentedly.
