The next day.
Kamisato Estate.
The sunlight outside the window grew more piercing, becoming scorching.
"Qin Yu! It's bad, wake up!"
Qin Yu furrowed his brow.
Who was shouting in his ear...
Let him sleep until he died on his first day of a leisurely life.
What Vision Hunt Decree, what Raiden Shogun.
What did it have to do with him.
The next moment—
"Something's happened!!"
The quilt was abruptly pulled off, a sudden chill.
Qin Yu's eyes snapped open.
The first thing he saw was the lively Yoimiya, her face full of shock.
Her hair was disheveled, as if she had rushed.
They made eye contact, speechless for a moment.
Yoimiya's small face was suddenly flushed pink by the sunlight.
As her beautiful eyes blinked, her gaze involuntarily shifted downwards.
"Good morning."
Qin Yu hugged himself silently, wanting to cover up more.
He seemed to be still undressed.
"Pervert—!"
The maiden's indignant shriek echoed through the Kamisato Estate.
...
After a period of chaos.
Qin Yu put on his clothes, his face dark.
What was this, so early in the morning.
And most importantly.
"Why did you enter my room!"
"I'm sorry."
Yoimiya pouted and obediently lowered her head.
She looked like she was admitting fault.
Qin Yu couldn't be bothered to say more.
Don't think he didn't see you peeking.
Glad he didn't have a habit of sleeping naked.
"What's wrong, so flustered?"
Yoimiya heard him and quickly looked up, rushing to Qin Yu's side.
For a moment, her eyes seemed to glisten with tears.
"Wuu... Qin Yu... you, you...!"
She tugged at Qin Yu's arm, unable to finish her words.
"Calm down first, what happened?"
Qin Yu's heart skipped a beat.
Could it be that the Raiden Shogun had issued the Vision Hunt Decree?
"Qin Yu... you died so tragically... woo woo woo."
Qin Yu: ...
He'd already gotten hard this early in the morning.
His fists were hard.
"I'm alive and well!"
He couldn't help but punch Yoimiya's little head.
The maiden indeed became quiet again.
"There's good news and bad news, which do you want to hear..."
"Bad news."
Qin Yu interrupted her directly.
Yoimiya said sadly, "Sister Sakura is gone."
Qin Yu stood up abruptly, unable to believe it.
Gone, what did that mean?
"Sister Sakura disappeared last night."
Yoimiya explained.
Qin Yu's expression grew more grim.
Sakura had vanished from the Kamisato Estate out of thin air.
Kamisato Ayaka had sent people to search, but to no avail.
"Why didn't you wake me last night?"
"Ayaka considered that you were being pursued, and also..."
Yoimiya whispered, "She wanted you to rest more."
"..."
Qin Yu remained silent, sitting back down.
Though he was anxious, he didn't blame them.
Having him search wouldn't make much difference.
In fact, moving rashly might cause trouble.
Yoimiya secretly looked at Qin Yu, relieved.
Thank goodness, she wasn't angry at Ayaka.
"Qin Yu, are you alright?"
Qin Yu didn't respond, just stared blankly at the floor.
His mood was complex, feeling a sense of loss.
He wasn't too worried about Sakura's safety.
It was just...
Thinking of that cold, elegant silhouette wearing a fox mask.
And the sweet treat she had given him.
For some reason, Qin Yu felt a void in his heart.
She had still chosen to leave.
Strange, was he reluctant to part?
She was just a country bumpkin.
After this incident, they would have no further contact.
Why did he feel so agitated?
...
"I'm fine."
Qin Yu shook his head, pulling himself together.
Life was like this, constant meetings and partings.
Nothing to be sad about.
He convinced himself.
"By the way, what was the good news?"
Yoimiya stammered, not knowing how to say it.
"Um, Qin Yu."
"Mhm."
"The good news is that the Raiden Shogun wants to summon you."
Qin Yu chuckled.
"Yoimiya, are you not awake yet?"
"Listen to me finish!"
Yoimiya waved her small pink fists, looking serious.
Qin Yu was taken aback.
This girl didn't seem to be joking.
"Hmm, actually, there's some bad news hidden in the good news..."
Yoimiya stammered, not knowing how to start.
"Go on, can she still embed me in a statue?"
Qin Yu laughed, saying it casually.
"Actually... in a way, it's similar."
"?"
Qin Yu's smile vanished. Had the Vision Hunt Decree been enacted?
"She wants to see you, and then use Mugetsu to cut you."
Yoimiya relayed the news she had heard that morning.
She cautiously observed Qin Yu's reaction.
Qin Yu smiled and nodded in agreement.
"You scared me, I thought it was embedding me in a statue."
Then...
His expression stiffened, and he looked at Yoimiya.
A Mugetsu strike.
On him?!
The maiden nodded sorrowfully.
"The Tenryou Commission's official document has been issued."
"The entire Inazuma City is now discussing this matter."
"?"
He had only slept for a while, what had happened to the world.
...
In the Kamisato Estate.
"Qin Yu, wait for me!"
Qin Yu walked quickly, his mind racing.
Something was wrong.
Something had definitely gone wrong.
He had to see Kamisato Ayaka and clarify everything.
"Mhm, it's fine for now."
At the end of the distant corridor, several figures approached.
It was Kamisato Ayato and Kamisato Ayaka.
And, a cold, elegant silhouette.
"Ouch!"
Yoimiya braked suddenly, almost crashing into Qin Yu.
Qin Yu stopped.
"Sakura! Didn't you..." httpδ:/m.kuAisugg.nět
Sakura looked over upon hearing the voice, her expression cold.
She saw Qin Yu's surprised face and turned away again.
"I was bored last night and went to the Tenshukaku."
Her voice was clear and cold, as if she were talking about a trivial matter.
?
Everyone present was stunned.
Are you serious, speaking as if you had just returned from a short trip?
