"Miss Ayaka,"
Qin Yu quickly got up and greeted her.
"We meet again, what a coincidence."
Kamisato Ayaka's gentle eyes twinkled, and she smiled and nodded.
The feeling in her heart grew clearer.
Perhaps Ayaka's master... was Qin Yu.
"Yes, quite a coincidence..."
Qin Yu sensed her suspicious gaze and thought, "This is bad."
Could it really be such a coincidence to run into her here?
Qin Yu responded, unable to help but glare at Yoimiya.
"The moon is so round tonight, hahaha."
Yoimiya guiltily averted her gaze, trying to pass it off with cuteness.
But it was a dark and windy night, where was the moon?
The lively girl's face blushed, and she buried her face in the table, falling silent.
Alright, she was helping Ayaka find Qin Yu.
And satisfying a little bit of gossip.
But who would have thought that this search would lead to trouble?
This mysterious older sister had a cool and aloof demeanor.
Her figure was enough to make any girl jealous.
Most importantly, she was so close to Qin Yu.
A man and woman alone in a deserted grove...
It looked suspicious no matter how you looked at it!
[Ding, Emotion Points from Yoimiya +1]
[Talent Unlocked: Normal Attack: Yoimiya's Barrage]
[Congratulations.]
Is this the time for congratulations?!
Qin Yu's face darkened.
So the traitor was Yoimiya.
Before he could even pay attention to the system's prompt.
"Crack."
Suddenly, a crisp sound was clearly audible.
They all instinctively looked over.
"..."
A certain country bumpkin who was quietly enjoying her dessert paused.
Then she continued to eat with crunching sounds.
As expected of a cool country bumpkin, her eyes were only on the dessert.
Completely ignoring the gazes around her!
"This beautiful older sister is new to me."
"Are you out on a date with Qin Yu?"
Kamisato Ayaka slowly closed her paper fan, her smile benevolent.
However, her tone was full of hidden meaning.
Another woman who wanted to snatch her master...
The air around them seemed to grow colder.
Qin Yu and Yoimiya shivered.
Why did they have this inexplicable feeling of guilt?
"Date..."
Sakura murmured, pondering in her heart.
Dating, what a foreign word.
But recalling what she had seen on the streets before.
Many people were also talking about boyfriends, girlfriends, and dates.
Could it be that this was the current term used by Inazumans.
Going out on the street together, calling each other boyfriend and girlfriend.
Was that called dating...
As she thought about it, her previous doubts became clear.
Sakura raised her face and looked at Qin Yu, gradually understanding everything.
No wonder he kept signaling her, he must have wanted to say this.
Qin Yu was currently explaining to Kamisato Ayaka:
"She is a guest invited by the Guuji of the Grand Narukami Shrine."
"This is her first time in the city, she's unfamiliar with the surroundings."
"I accepted the task of finding her a place to stay."
Qin Yu's explanation was candid and concise, already dispelling Kamisato Ayaka's worries.
"I see, I was rude of me."
The coldness emanating from her dissipated, and she resumed her gentle smile.
Qin Yu breathed a sigh of relief, finally avoiding a misunderstanding.
If Ayaka were to misunderstand...
Something flashed in his memory, and he shook his head.
Even the Princess of Pure White Lilies had different sides to her.
"Do you need the help of the Yashiro Commission?"
"It would be wonderful if you were willing to help, Miss."
"As I said, you can just call me Ayaka in private."
Kamisato Ayaka's tone carried a hint of displeasure.
"Alright... Ayaka."
Kamisato Ayaka smiled and nodded, then took a seat.
She went directly to Sakura's side.
"..."
Qin Yu and Yoimiya exchanged glances.
They both felt that something bad was about to happen.
"Nice to meet you, my name is Kamisato Ayaka."
Kamisato Ayaka greeted her softly, without any airs of a noble lady.
Upon learning that Sakura was alone in Inazuma City, she wanted to help.
"Sakura, and I am..."
Sakura responded softly, her voice clear and cold.
"You are?"
Kamisato Ayaka followed her gaze towards Qin Yu.
Yoimiya pricked up her ears to eavesdrop.
Only Qin Yu had a sudden bad premonition.
Sakura looked at Qin Yu with a solemn gaze.
If that identity was important, she had to clarify it.
Under everyone's gaze, Sakura said seriously:
"We were just on a date."
"Oh, so it's a date."
Yoimiya said with a grin, nodding in agreement.
Then she suddenly realized something was wrong.
"Huh?!!"
Everyone was stunned by this shocking news.
"Date... Date...!"
Yoimiya's mouth formed an 'o' shape, her little hands flailing wildly.
Did she hear that right? Did she hear that right!
This mysterious and beautiful older sister was on a date with Qin Yu!
She looked at Qin Yu, incredulous:
"You two are actually?!"
Sakura calmly said: "That's right, I'm his girlfriend."
Qin Yu bought her a dessert, so she had to tell the truth.
Now Qin Yu should thank her.
It would be considered settling their accounts.
Kamisato Ayaka looked at Qin Yu, her smile dangerous:
"You didn't say that just now, did you?"
"Stop!"
Qin Yu slammed the table and declared:
"What are you talking about, this is a misunderstanding."
If he didn't step forward now, his reputation would be ruined.
Was this country bumpkin deliberately trying to harm him!
After a round of explanations.
"Pfft, so, so that's how it is."
Yoimiya's cheeks puffed out, and she couldn't hold back any longer.
She threw herself onto the stone table, laughing until she gasped for air.
Qin Yu's face darkened, "I told you not to laugh."
Kamisato Ayaka sighed softly and shook her head helplessly.
Only the country bumpkin from the countryside let out a soft "Hmm?"
"Did I say something wrong?"
