Qin Yu was stunned.
Why did it turn out this way.
Ordered by his brother-in-law... no, Kamisato Ayato, to court his sister.
This thought alone was bizarre.
He was merely hiding in the Kamisato household, seeking a moment of peace.
How did he end up getting involved like this!
"My sister... I entrust her to you."
Kamisato Ayato sighed softly, his expression solemn.
He patted Qin Yu's shoulder, casting him an encouraging glance.
With that, he turned and left for work.
As the head of the Yashiro Commission, he was essentially the ultimate civil servant in Inazuma.
"Wait a moment, Lord Yashiro Commissioner..."
Qin Yu opened his mouth, but couldn't call him back.
Kamisato Ayato waved his hand and walked further away.
"Good luck. There will be a place for you in the Kamisato family in the future."
Qin Yu's face darkened.
What place? He hadn't agreed to anything.
If Kamisato Ayaka were to find out about this.
Wouldn't she immediately banish her brother who sold her out?
He couldn't help but recall that classic line from legend.
"There will be no place for you in this family anymore!"
"..."
On the quiet path, Qin Yu was left alone.
He sighed to the heavens, utterly vexed.
"What is all this."
Dating Kamisato Ayaka...
A shiver ran down Qin Yu's spine.
Under normal circumstances, he would gladly accept.
But now, his heart was filled with question marks.
As for why.
The Kamisato Ayaka in this world might be different.
Although she was usually elegant and charming, thoughtful and gentle.
But...
Qin Yu's gaze trembled.
As her master, Qin Yu could feel it.
Just as Kamisato Ayato had said.
As the young lady gradually grew, her gaze changed.
From her original admiration, it slowly shifted into an abnormal dependence.
This abnormality continued to deepen.
Qin Yu initially didn't pay much attention to it.
He attributed everything to Kamisato Ayaka's respect for her master.
Until one parting...
The young lady grasped Qin Yu's hand, her eyes dim.
"It's enough for Ayaka to accompany you alone."
"If Master were to leave without saying goodbye..."
"Ayaka would be very sad."
The always warm smile quietly vanished.
"..."
Qin Yu took a deep, cold breath.
He wondered, when he revealed his true identity.
What kind of Kamisato Ayaka would greet him.
Why did it have to be like this...
Qin Yu, in his helplessness, reminisced about the dream known as his past life.
Everything had to start with character reruns.
That rerun banner that lasted for 240 days.
The lonely heiress, for her beloved, twisted the rules.
Only to be with him forever...
Suddenly, a chill ran down his spine.
"Who!"
Qin Yu's heart leaped, and he spun around abruptly.
Behind him, an elegant silhouette had been standing for a while.
On the quiet path, a hundred flowers bloomed in vibrant colors.
Emphasizing the young lady's figure, making her even more captivating.
She smiled, her gaze fixed on Qin Yu as she stood there silently.
It was Kamisato Ayaka.
Qin Yu's heart went cold.
How had she arrived here? He hadn't sensed her at all.
Had she been eavesdropping on their conversation just now?
"What are you thinking about?"
The surrounding temperature dropped subtly.
Kamisato Ayaka tilted her head, her smile warm.
"My Master."
"!"
Qin Yu's eyes widened.
Had Kamisato Ayaka confirmed his identity?
"I..."
He opened his mouth, about to respond.
"Hm?"
Kamisato Ayaka's lips curved slightly.
Is she finally going to admit it, my Master.
If so, I can't let you leave the Kamisato household.
After all, you promised.
If you're caught, you'll have to stay with Ayaka forever.
"Master? What is Miss Kamisato saying?"
Qin Yu feigned confusion, looking around.
Close call, almost fell for it!
"..."
Kamisato Ayaka's gaze was disappointed, and she sighed softly.
She had thought she could trick him into speaking.
What a pity, so close.
As expected of Master, his reactions are quick.
"It's nothing, perhaps I was mistaken."
Kamisato Ayaka seemed a little dejected.
She gently picked up a fallen flower, murmuring:
"Ayaka can feel that you are here."
Her pitiable appearance evoked a sense of tenderness.
Qin Yu remained silent.
If this girl weren't staring directly at him.
It would have been even more perfect.
"I believe Miss will surely find Master."
"Mm."
Kamisato Ayaka smiled with relief and tucked the petal into her hair.
Her eyelashes trembled slightly as she gazed at Qin Yu and asked softly:
"Does it look good?"
"Mm, it looks good."
"Is the flower more beautiful, or am I?"
"Of course, Miss is the most beautiful."
This fatal question, Qin Yu knew how to answer.
"Hmph, how straightforward."
The young lady tilted her chin up, in a good mood.
In Inazuma, only Qin Yu could be so close to her.
Clearly, this was a result of her affection.
It remained to be seen if he felt the same way.
"Just speaking the truth."
Qin Yu smiled, inwardly sighing with relief.
He had managed to muddle through, barely.
He had a persistent intuition.
That if he had admitted his identity just now...
He might have been locked up in the Kamisato household's basement by this girl.
"Let's go, Yoimiya will be waiting soon."
"Alright."
Each with their own thoughts, they left together, chatting and laughing.
