"Father."
Shiina Chizuru bowed and said in a low voice.
Even though Xiao Yu was by her side, yet...
"Hmph!"
Shiina Shinsuke held back his anger, seeing Shiina Chizuru about to reprimand.
But he noticed Qin Yu's gentle smile.
He finally let out a cold snort and said no more.
This madman, today's matter will not be let go just like that!
"Come back to the Kanjou Bugyo with me."
"Yes, Father."
Shiina Chizuru looked at Qin Yu, her cherry lips trembling slightly.
She had many things to say but could not speak them.
She could only bury her small wish in her heart.
She wanted her smile to look happier.
Today she could leave that suffocating family.
And spend such happy times with Xiao Yu.
She was already content.
What right did she have... to expect more?
"Goodbye."
Shiina Chizuru waved goodbye to the distance.
There, she had made new friends, Princess Kaguya and Yoimiya.
And that aloof Sakura-nee.
Without her help, Xiao Yu would be in danger, right?
Her eyes, as gentle as water, finally fixed on Qin Yu.
Her pretty face bloomed with an exceptionally beautiful smile.
Xiao Yu, thank you.
Having you by my side makes me feel both safe and happy.
She paused for a moment and finally turned to leave.
As she turned, Qin Yu's voice rang out.
"Young lady, goodbye."
His voice was plain and distant.
Shiina Chizuru's delicate body trembled, and she suppressed the urge to turn back.
"...Mm."
The few women in the distance were also waving goodbye.
Finally, the frail silhouette disappeared at the end of the road.
Never looking back again.
"Sigh, silly girl."
Qin Yu silently withdrew his gaze and was about to turn when.
"Qin Yu, you bastard!"
A dark shadow rushed forward.
Yoimiya, with puffed cheeks and a face full of indignation, rushed to Qin Yu's side.
She raised her small fists and punched him in the waist.
"Bang!"
Suddenly suffering a kidney blow, Qin Yu's face darkened.
This girl, where is she hitting?
She's not holding back.
Trembling, he removed Yoimiya's small hand.
"What's gotten into you all of a sudden?"
"You still have the nerve to play dumb, I really misjudged you!"
Yoimiya stomped her foot.
"Why didn't you try to keep Miss Shiina?"
"She clearly... clearly looked at you...!"
Qin Yu was stunned and said helplessly:
"What do you know? When does the fireworks display start?"
Yoimiya's eyes widened in disbelief at his words.
Miss Shiina likes you so much, and you...
"You're still thinking about the fireworks display, are you even a man!"
Qin Yu said irritably, "What else can I think about?"
"Go chase Miss Shiina back!" kuAiδugg
"She's already gone down the mountain, what's there to chase?"
"You!"
The two argued.
Just then, Kamisato Ayaka and Sakura walked over.
The two women looked at Qin Yu quietly.
The atmosphere fell silent for a moment.
Qin Yu raised an eyebrow. Why were they all looking at him like that?
"You all think the same way?"
Kamisato Ayaka nodded slightly.
"The Yashiro Commission naturally hopes that Miss Shiina will stay."
Although she had exchanged subtle probes with Shiina Chizuru many times, she still hoped to help Shiina Chizuru at this moment.
Sakura said coldly, "Letting her go like this feels stifling."
"Let's just beat them all up."
Qin Yu's lips twitched. "That would be a terrorist attack."
He hadn't expected Sakura to still be thinking of giving Shiina Shinsuke a good slap.
He could tell, this country bumpkin was truly violent.
Can't afford to offend, can't afford to offend.
"..."
Facing their scrutinizing gazes, Qin Yu suddenly smiled.
He looked at Yoimiya and asked:
"If we forcibly keep Shiina Chizuru, what will happen with her family?"
Yoimiya froze. This was indeed an unsolvable problem.
They couldn't always stand by Shiina Chizuru's side like this.
Shiina Shinsuke had already suffered a great setback.
If Shiina Chizuru defied him again at this time,
Shiina Shinsuke might very well turn all his anger towards her.
"Damn it!"
The lively girl unhappily tapped her head.
Kamisato Ayaka shook her head regretfully.
Qin Yu was right. Shiina Chizuru's identity was too sensitive.
But with her leaving like this, none of the girls could accept it.
Qin Yu looked at the night sky and said softly:
"Everyone is feeling uncomfortable."
"I won't just swallow this insult either."
Yoimiya was surprised. "Are you going to do something?"
"Or else what?"
Qin Yu shrugged.
If he could, he also hoped to leave some special memories for that silly girl.
"But you were just asking about the fireworks display..."
Yoimiya's words trailed off, her beautiful eyes suddenly lit up.
Suddenly asking about the fireworks display, could it be?
Qin Yu nodded slightly and extended his hand.
"Yoimiya, give me the remaining fireworks you have."
"Okay!"
Yoimiya said excitedly.
Time passed in a tense rush.
Finally, all sorts of fireworks were piled on the ground.
"These are fireworks?"
Sakura picked up a firework curiously.
The country bumpkin was showing strong curiosity again.
Yoimiya placed her hands on her hips and said proudly:
"Hmph, these are all my proud creations."
"Qin Yu, hurry up and choose one!"
Qin Yu pondered for a moment and said softly:
"All of them."
"But...!"
"That girl Shiina Chizuru would probably like them all."
Qin Yu smiled.
Only children make choices.
"Oh."
Yoimiya nodded as if she understood but not really.
"Alright, then let's prepare to send this surprise."
"Wait a minute."
Kamisato Ayaka frowned slightly and said softly:
"How can we make Miss Shiina see them?"
If they were set off directly here,
Shiina Chizuru would never know that these fireworks were for her.
And she had already walked a long distance.
Qin Yu pointed to the cliff.
"It's easy, just throw them down."
"Let these fireworks bloom in the sky above her head."
Yoimiya shook her head. "Are you kidding me?"
How could this whole bag be thrown so far?
Unless...
The few people's gazes converged tacitly.
A certain country bumpkin was still extending her finger, poking at the fireworks.
