Entering the Yashiro Commission headquarters.
By the way, Sayu was also present.
Candlelight illuminated their surroundings, and several figures were already waiting.
"You've finally arrived."
Kamisato Ayato's smile was warm.
"My sister is preparing tea. Please make yourselves comfortable."
He glanced at Sakura as if by chance, then pondered for a moment.
The identity of this mysterious woman was intriguing.
Why wouldn't even the Guuji of the Grand Narukami Shrine reveal it...
As he was thinking,
Sakura sensed something and looked over.
"!"
Kamisato Ayato's pupils contracted, and he averted his gaze.
At that instant, it felt as if thunder boomed in his mind.
"Sakura, are you feeling unwell?"
Qin Yu noticed Sakura's unusual behavior and asked softly.
A country bumpkin, seeing such a grand household for the first time.
It's normal to feel a little unaccustomed.
What do you mean he was too? Then it's nothing.
"I'm fine."
Sakura shook her head gently.
"If anything is wrong, you must tell me, understand?"
"Okay."
Kamisato Ayato watched this, his heart filled with questions.
This mysterious woman...
Although she appeared cold and aloof, ignoring everyone.
Her attitude towards Qin Yu seemed different.
And this attitude was exclusive to him alone.
"..."
The thunder was about to boom in his mind again.
This time it was sharper.
It felt like... a threat!
Kamisato Ayato quickly dismissed his thoughts.
How strange, it happened again.
He looked out the window.
In the distance was Tenshukaku.
Tomorrow was the day the Tri-Commissioners would meet the Shogun.
Was it the Shogun expressing her displeasure?
Had there been any oversight in recent official matters?
Or was it about the Vision Hunt Decree...
"Sister Sakura! Over here!"
Qin Yu was slightly surprised to see Yoimiya was also here.
The lively girl waved enthusiastically, her heart filled with excitement.
She was determined to become friends with a cool and beautiful older sister like Sakura!
Yoimiya couldn't wait and stood up, taking Sakura's hand.
"And Sayu, you come too!"
"Ah... Can I sleep in your arms?"
"Sure!"
Yoimiya, with Sakura on one side and herself on the other, wore a happy smile.
"Hmm..."
Qin Yu felt a bit awkward.
Clearly, the small table arranged was not very large.
This casual arrangement would help everyone get closer.
After all, the people present were the core opposition to the Vision Hunt Decree.
However, Yoimiya had already occupied the seats beside her.
Kamisato Ayato was seated at the head.
The only place left for him was an empty seat on one side.
This meant that later he would have to sit with...
"..."
At this moment, Sakura suddenly looked up at Qin Yu.
Her gaze was indifferent, her meaning unclear.
"Ahem, alright."
Qin Yu's expression remained unchanged as he sat opposite Sakura.
He began to admire the country girl's thick braids.
He didn't know when it started, but he found them more pleasing to the eye the more he looked.
"..."
Sakura showed no reaction, seemingly accustomed to it.
Just then, an elegant and noble young lady arrived.
"Everyone, thank you for waiting."
Kamisato Ayaka served the tea, speaking softly.
She distributed it to everyone present with grace and composure.
Truly worthy of being the Sacred Sakura's daughter, her every move was impeccable.
Earning everyone's favor.
However, Qin Yu sensed a different atmosphere.
Her gentle gaze, subtly, seemed to be directed at him.
With a meaningful implication.
My revered Master has arrived at the Kamisato Estate.
And even wants to sit with Ayaka.
You can't escape anymore...
Do you still intend to keep up this pretense?
"..."
Danger!
...
Qin Yu was the only one who hadn't received tea.
Qin Yu remained silent, a smile on his face.
A delicate fragrance wafted over.
The elegant young lady approached him.
Gently lifting her skirt, revealing a pair of fair calves.
Kamisato Ayaka took her seat.
Qin Yu's gaze did not wander.
He offered a slight smile as a gesture of politeness.
"Are you nervous?"
The young lady knelt beside Qin Yu, her beautiful eyes sparkling.
"Yes, a little."
"Then please, first, savor the tea I brewed myself."
Kamisato Ayaka's eyes twinkled as she offered him a cup of tea.
Qin Yu nodded and was about to take it.
However, his hand, extended halfway, suddenly paused.
This etiquette... was not right.
It was the etiquette for showing respect to a teacher!
Ayaka, this girl, had ulterior motives.
Qin Yu subtly withdrew his hand.
"What is it?"
Kamisato Ayaka's smile became even more enchanting.
"I'm sorry, I was just thinking about something."
"I see..."
Qin Yu raised an eyebrow.
He wasn't sure if it was an illusion.
He felt as if the distance between them had narrowed.
"..."
It's closer again!
"??"
Qin Yu couldn't help but look at Kamisato Ayaka beside him.
"What is it?"
The young lady tilted her head with a smile.
Her smile was sweet.
Qin Yu remained silent and subtly shifted to the other side.
Yoimiya glanced over stealthily.
Watching the distance between them continuously shrink.
The corners of her mouth couldn't help but curl up.
Hold it in, Yoimiya, don't laugh!
Just then, Kamisato Ayato looked up and smiled.
"Since everyone is here... Hmm?"
He let out a soft sound and looked at his beloved sister.
Wait, is this position not quite right?
He felt as if his cute sister was further away from him.
Was it an illusion?
"Then let's begin."
Kamisato Ayaka said softly, her expression as usual.
After the young lady's small, veiled test of affection.
It was time for the Sacred Sakura's daughter's true intentions.
The Yashiro Commission must obtain evidence of the Fatui's infiltration.
Qin Yu nodded slightly and pushed forward the light novel.
"This is the text they used to relay information."
"The patterns within it need to be deciphered by you."
Everyone looked over.
Hmm, becoming the Raiden Shogun's dog...
It felt a bit strange.
As expected of the Fatui, they were skilled at covering their tracks.
"Understood. I will hand it over to the Oniyabugei."
Kamisato Ayato's expression was calm and solemn.
"Anything else?"
Qin Yu shook his head slightly and said gravely:
"You should already know about the shrine matters."
"The Tenryou Commission has received battle reports from Yashiori Island."
"I believe they will be presented to the Shogun soon."
Kamisato Ayato nodded slightly.
"I will dispatch personnel to collect evidence from Yashiori Island."
The Tenryou Commission's actions were too swift, exceeding his expectations.
However, the Oniyabugei had corresponding countermeasures.
"I will contact the various clans of Inazuma for mutual assistance..."
Kamisato Ayaka mused for a moment and then said softly.
"..."
After a discussion,
Qin Yu didn't say much more.
The Kamisato siblings held the power of the Yashiro Commission.
Their arrangements were already orderly and flawless.
The struggle ahead was no longer a matter of individual strength.
He hoped everything would go smoothly and they could catch up...
Hoping to avoid repeating the plot of the previous game.
Qin Yu thought to himself.
"Clan Head, we have a situation!"
Thoma suddenly rushed in, his face anxious.
"What is it!"
Kamisato Ayato felt a sense of foreboding.
Thoma was usually composed and rarely lost his composure like this.
"Phew... It's the other two Commissions."
"They are heading to see the Shogun tonight!"
