The atmosphere was naturally harmonious and loving as good sisters met.
It should have been.
But seeing the crowded corridor that prevented passage, the women's moods took a different turn.
When did Qin Yu start inviting so many girls to the Komore Teahouse?!
Of course, the occasional Yae Publishing House romance consultant was not a problem.
After all, she was their trusted strategist for matters of the heart.
Kokomi: Actually, I'm more skilled in military strategy...
Incidentally, the General and her daughter, Nahida, were also not a problem.
Everyone was still on the same starting line!
"..."
Keqing, holding the white-haired loli, remained silent.
"Master, truly not to be underestimated."
Kamisato Ayaka sighed softly, slowly lowering her paper fan.
Master, with so many people, there won't be enough space.
Just now, she had confidently stated that the Komore Teahouse could host international guests.
For example, dancers from Sumeru, the Secretary of the Liyue Qixing, representatives from the Mondstadt Knights, and priests from the church...
If this continues, they'll have to expand the Komore Teahouse.
Or, Ayaka could ask Master to move into the basement to free up a room...
It's fine.
Ayaka will move in and live with Master.
It's been a while since we've had a chess match...
"Shall we all chat for a while?"
Yoimiya, holding her best friend's hand, proposed.
The emotional master of Hanami Slope, back in action.
Don't forget, she was now the eldest among the women.
Both in terms of seniority and... physique.
Not to mention, she now knew Yae Publishing House's romance consultant, Sister Kokomi.
All that's left is to come up with a group name and debut!
With the lively and cheerful Yoimiya livening things up, the women soon relaxed.
However, they all silently made a note of something.
When Qin Yu returns...
Qin, you're in danger!
"Heh... Sister Ayaka, why are you looking at me like that?"
Sandrone leaned back in her wheelchair, still elegant and composed.
"Were you the one behind Columbia, advising her to get close to Qin Yu?"
Kamisato Ayaka exchanged glances with the women beside her and said seriously.
This was the most suspicious person likely to cause trouble!
"?"
Sandrone chuckled and confidently shook her head.
"Columbia is my best sister, how could she possibly..."
But soon, the elegant and composed puppet lady couldn't laugh anymore.
"Sister Columbia... walking arm-in-arm with my partner?"
Sandrone murmured, her blue eyes losing their sparkle.
How could this be?
Sister, partner, this should be double the happiness, but...
She came first!
The puppet lady, who never lost an argument with the women, was a bit flustered after being "betrayed" by her best friend.
Soon, she regained her composure and looked at Kamisato Ayaka.
"Qin Yu... is in danger."
Sandrone took a deep breath, her small face grave.
With Sister Columbia's curse suppressed, she could indeed do more things.
Suddenly, Sandrone thought of something, her beautiful eyes widening slightly.
No wonder Sister Columbia specifically dressed up and changed into pretty clothes before going out...
She even asked for my opinion!
"Danger?"
Ayaka smiled confidently, "We're different from you, we have the Traveler..."
"Don't you all know yet?"
Sandrone's lips curved slightly. So everyone had been "backstabbed" by their "good sister."
Then no one could mock anyone else.
The women were stunned, what did Sandrone mean?
...
Soon, all the women, except Keqing, learned that Lumine was Qin Yu's maid, Meow-Meow.
"?"
The atmosphere fell silent.
"So, the safest person around Xiao Yu is the Guuji of the Grand Narukami Shrine?"
Kagami Chiriko discovered the loophole and murmured.
Lumine and Columbia were traitors who betrayed the women, was the Guuji a neutral party?
Then what would they do?
Would they grow suspicious of each other and create a balance, or would they team up against Qin Yu...!
Just as the women were about to get dizzy from the complex relationships.
"It's fine, I can contact Sister Columbia."
Sandrone's eyes flickered as she took out her communication device.
"Shall we look for Qin Yu together? Everyone."
"...Yes!"
The women became serious and nodded in unison.
...
Meanwhile.
Narukami Island, a bustling port at night, illuminated by lights.
On the ship, the beautiful dancer girl excitedly waved her hand.
"Miss Yelan, we've finally arrived at Inazuma City!"
Nilou, supporting her light body, bathed in the cool night breeze, showed a satisfied smile.
Inazuma City is so beautiful.
Let's just look at the Tenshukaku in the distance.
"Qin Yu, he's here."
"And that woman... Lord Greater Lord Rukkhadevata."
The soul of the God of Flowers awakened, her tone complex.
She had been resurrected for so long, yet her best friend hadn't come looking for her.
She's probably off researching some forbidden knowledge again.
"Qin Yu, a great hero who can observe ordinary people and change the destiny of a nation...!"
Under the moonlight, the stunningly beautiful Nilou tucked her hair, her eyes shining brightly.
Finally...
"Finally, I can meet the Qin Yu you admire, Miss Nilou."
Yelan, with her elegant and mysterious aura, came to Nilou's side and teased.
She stretched languidly, revealing her perfect mature figure.
The small mole on her chest and her gracefully curved armpits were exceptionally charming.
"Miss Yelan, when did I...!"
Nilou's cheeks flushed, and she turned her face away a little embarrassed.
The innocent girl had been unconsciously mentioning Qin Yu more and more often lately.
"Moo--"
Beside Nilou, a驮兽 (túo shòu, pack animal) tilted its head, as if happy for Nilou.
"Hehe... Thank you, Moo-Moo."
Nilou understood what the pack animal said and crouched down to pet it.
She was actually communicating with animals.
"What a miraculous talent, Miss Nilou."
Yelan leaned against the ship's railing, her eyes shimmering.
She thought of the Bathysmal Vishaps of Liyue.
If this ability of Nilou's could be applied...
"Perhaps I learned the abilities of a forest priest in my dreams."
Nilou smiled, her fingertips blooming with beautiful Padisarahs, which she placed on the pack animal's head.
The authority of the God of Flowers had begun to manifest in the young girl.
This was also one of the reasons Nilou wanted to find Qin Yu.
Perhaps he could help her guide this divine power called "authority."
"Miss Yelan, where will you go after disembarking?"
"Me? First, I'll find a job somewhere..."
To get closer to Qin Yu.
...
Meanwhile.
"Ah-choo!"
Below Mt. Yougou, Qin Yu sneezed several times.
"??"
He looked up, questioning life itself.
With this many sneezes, was the world ending?
Or was he allergic to foxes...
Qin felt like he was on the verge of a mishap at any moment.
"Little one, how do you plan to deal with these monsters?"
Yae Miko glanced at Qin Yu.
"How about using the power of Electro, like the Sacred Sakura?"
Qin Yu smiled.
"Oh? My appearance fee is quite high, you know."
Yae Miko was about to tease Qin Yu when she quickly noticed his meaningful smile.
"Teach me, what if I can learn the secret technique of the Sacred Sakura?"
"Heh, what an interesting proposal, you greedy little thing."
Yae Miko became interested and leaned close to Qin Yu's ear.
"If you can learn the secret technique of the Sacred Sakura, I'll let you do anything you want to me for a day~"
After all, that was impossible.
"But if you can't learn it, you'll have to be my little dog for a day..."
The fox lady was very confident.
But soon, a hint of surprise flashed in her purple eyes.
"Alright, it's a deal."
Qin Yu looked at the fox lady, a triumphant smile on his face.
The competitive fox lady, this is also your weakness.
[Ding, while interacting intimately with Yae Miko, accumulated emotional points have unlocked a new talent, please check carefully]
"..."
The fox lady blinked.
She had become Qin Yu's prey again?
Heh... interesting.
