Qin Yu's gaze was filled with surprise and uncertainty.
Traveler... Liyue... Archon.
These keywords, when combined, pointed to one thing.
The one who punched Archons and kicked divine remnants.
The person who traversed the entirety of Teyvat.
Sister Lumine, she was coming.
"No, that's not right."
Qin Yu quickly shook his head.
The timeline was already a mess.
Inazuma was still a long way from the Vision Hunt Decree.
How could the main story progress like this?
As Qin Yu pondered, a notification suddenly chimed.
[Ding, Key plot node detected.]
[System upgrade conditions met, upgrading.]
[Version 2.0, launching soon.]
The system, which had been quiet for a while, had reactivated.
Qin Yu's heart filled with anticipation.
He wondered what this system upgrade would bring.
How about an "Imaginary Blade"?
[Ding, Please do not dream.]
Qin Yu: ...
"The Vortex Archon, Osial."
Sakura glanced at the letter's contents and snorted.
Just a sealed, weak Archon, incapable of stirring up trouble.
Qin Yu continued reading:
The Geo Archon has departed.
As expected, no change.
He silently put down the letter and sighed.
From this day on, the world had one less dutiful god.
Replaced by a social outcast.
"Let me see this Archon battle report."
He pulled out an entertainment magazine.
"Shocking: Liyue unilaterally deploys a weapon of mass destruction."
"A mere Archon, shattered with a flick of the wrist."
Qin Yu chuckled.
Was this referring to the Jade Chamber?
It could smash Archons with pinpoint accuracy, but required a year to cool down.
He continued reading.
During the fierce battle with the Archon, Liyue was in grave danger...
The Traveler was about to be swallowed by the deep sea, in an extremely perilous situation.
?
Qin Yu found it strange.
In his previous life, the story hadn't been this difficult.
"At the critical moment, a white-haired woman allegedly appeared."
"The Traveler seized the opportunity to comprehend mysterious power."
"Greatly defeating the Archon and reversing the situation."
???
Qin Yu slowly put down the magazine.
A white-haired woman... speaking as if it were true.
Some emergency food floating in the waves?
This kind of plot, where the protagonist loses at first but suddenly gains mysterious power.
It was like writing a novel.
Qin Yu shook his head; it was too unreliable.
To attract eyeballs, the article must have been embellished.
He would treat it as a story, just for amusement.
After his reading, only one letter remained on hand.
From a tripe noodle vendor in Liyue.
Qin Yu smiled faintly.
If his guess about this person's identity was correct...
"We're back."
A gentle voice drifted from a distance.
The next moment, Kamisato Ayaka and Yoimiya arrived together.
The two women were carrying exquisite food boxes.
The aroma wafted over, making the little tanuki jump with anticipation.
"Nyo! Delicious food! Can I eat it?"
After following Hiiragi Senya, the little tanuki had started to learn politeness.
"Of course, little Sayu, what are you hiding from?"
"Ugh, Sayu doesn't want to talk to the tanuki."
"Nyo! It's a big tanuki!"
...
In short, breakfast ended smoothly.
Apart from the slightly strange atmosphere.
Yoimiya puffed out her cheeks, staring silently at Qin Yu.
Like a little goldfish holding its breath.
"Why do you keep looking at me like that?"
Qin Yu couldn't help but ask.
"Heh heh."
Yoimiya cupped her face with her hands, unwavering.
This time, you won't sneak away from the Kamisato Estate!
"?"
Qin Yu understood something.
This girl had been bought over.
Just then, Kamisato Ayaka looked over.
Their gazes met inadvertently.
Kamisato Ayaka asked softly:
"Does the Kamisato family's cuisine suit your taste?"
Her gentle and thoughtful care made one feel comfortable.
Qin Yu nodded silently.
A meal from a prominent family was indeed delicious.
Not to mention the company of the several young women.
It was practically an ideal life of leisure.
"I have a very important matter to attend to, please excuse me."
Kamisato Ayaka gently rose to take her leave.
Her elegant bow was impeccable.
Qin Yu smiled, watching the graceful maiden depart.
"Lady Ayaka, farewell."
Kamisato Ayaka sensed his gaze and her lips curved slightly.
"Unfortunately, this time it's a bit rushed."
"After all, if someone were to be late..."
She gazed at Qin Yu and winked slyly.
"There would be severe punishment."
"..."
Qin Yu smiled.
This girl dared to threaten her master in secret.
She had calculated that he couldn't leave the Kamisato Estate.
Quite interesting.
He accepted this challenge.
