By the authority of the Greater Lord Rukkhadevata, Qin Yu could traverse between the World Tree and the real world.
It was like having an incredibly vivid dream.
The flow of time in the two worlds was not the same.
Therefore, when Qin Yu endured a fierce battle in the dream, saving the Greater Lord Rukkhadevata and Teyvat,
Some things had also happened in the real world at the Komore Teahouse.
And they were quite lively things.
Let Paimon rewind the timeline to the very beginning of everything.
…
Deep in the night, within a dark cabin.
With Ei's tacit consent.
Qin Yu fell into the tender embrace of the Greater Lord Rukkhadevata, sleeping soundly.
"Sweet dreams, my sun."
The Greater Lord Rukkhadevata gently held him, like a virtuous mother coaxing a child to sleep.
Moonlight cascaded down, making her appear even more pure and flawless.
She raised a hand, caressing Qin Yu's face, her gaze soft.
"Sweet dreams" were the first words Qin Yu had spoken when he first found her.
At that time, Qin Yu was holding the newly born Nahida and muttering to himself beneath the World Tree.
Perhaps he didn't know.
At that time, the Greater Lord Rukkhadevata's soul was already extremely weak due to the erosion of forbidden knowledge.
After gathering strength to make the leaves sprout, she was on the verge of dissipating at any moment.
But... Qin Yu appeared.
Although they were just some meaningless whispers.
They restored a bit of clarity to her, preventing her soul from scattering.
My sun, you have saved me once already.
"I implore you, Raiden Shogun."
The Greater Lord Rukkhadevata snapped out of her emotions and looked at the cold, elegant silhouette in the darkness.
After all, what was about to happen could not be disturbed.
"I hope you will keep your promise and not make any unexpected moves."
Ei narrowed her purple eyes, her voice cool and clear.
For some reason, she had a bad premonition, her heart filled with unease.
In martial arts, she pursued absolute decisiveness.
But when it came to Qin Yu...
Thinking this, Ei let out a soft sigh.
If her sister were still here, she would surely be able to resolve her confusion.
She shook her head, no longer dwelling on it.
Her sister was gone, and would never return.
Whoosh—!
She suddenly pulled open the closed door.
Thump.
"Ouch, my head!"
Accompanied by a startled cry.
Several dark figures tumbled into the doorway of the cabin, piling on top of each other.
"..."
Ei's gaze flickered, as she stared at the few women at her feet.
Were they all girls related to Qin Yu...
"Who opened the door so suddenly? So inconsiderate!"
The lively girl was the first to sit up, clutching her chest, and raised her face in annoyance.
She had been suddenly knocked to the ground, causing Yoimiya's chest to hurt.
Before she could finish speaking, she locked eyes with the cold, purple gaze in the darkness.
"Raiden... Raiden...!"
Yoimiya trembled, and then quietly lay back down.
She was like an ostrich burying its head in the sand, with its rear end sticking up.
Why would the Raiden Shogun suddenly appear in Qin Yu's room!
Just as Ei was about to speak.
"Wuwuwu..."
Yoimiya covered her ears and had already curled into a ball.
"I'm sorry, General, I'll never set off fireworks in Tenryou Commission territory again!"
"Mm... I already said I'm not interested in eavesdropping on Qin Yu...!"
Keqing covered her head and pushed herself up.
She looked up at Ei, full of hostility.
Here she comes again, a new opponent.
This woman with a great figure actually walked out of Qin Yu's room...
Was she here to deliberately show off that she had successfully "stolen the base"?
In the darkness, Keqing Cat had not yet realized who the woman in front of her was.
"Keqing, you should show some respect to a god."
A faint light appeared in the corridor.
A brown-haired girl in a silk nightgown pushed a wheelchair out, yawning sleepily.
Sandrone looked as if she hadn't woken up.
"?"
Keqing Cat's eyelashes twitched as she looked at the women beside her.
"..."
Ayaka Kamisato and Hiyori Hoshimori were kneeling neatly on the floor, like two well-behaved children.
It really was the Electro Archon of Inazuma, the Raiden Shogun.
The two young ladies who should have been working overtime were caught red-handed by the "great leader."
It was a bit awkward.
"Why are you still blocking the doorway?"
Ei's oppressive aura grew stronger.
The women exchanged furtive glances and retreated.
Who was the one who first suggested eavesdropping at the door!
"?"
Yoimiya opened her mouth, why were they all looking at her.
They all crowded over together; she couldn't take all the blame!
...
With a bang, the door was pulled shut.
At the same time, it blocked the leering eyes of the women.
"And who are you?"
Ei's gaze swept over Keqing and Sandrone.
The women fell silent under the immense pressure.
They were still in a state of surprise and shock.
The stagnant atmosphere did not last long.
"As for me, I'm just Qin Yu's partner."
"It's quite normal for me to be here, isn't it."
Sandrone lightly twirled a strand of her hair, smiling.
Facing Ei's oppressive power, her expression remained unchanged.
Her Fatui Harbinger strength must have been seen through by the Raiden Shogun.
Since that was the case, she stopped pretending and spoke her mind.
"I am Keqing, the Yuheng of Liyue."
"Qin Yu insisted on inviting me to Inazuma... I really can't do anything about him."
After a standard tsundere remark.
Keqing also calmed down, her eyes sparkling.
So what if she was a god?
She herself was not someone who feared gods.
What's more, Keqing Cat's intuition told her that...
This god, the so-called "great leader" Qin Yu...
Had a very strange attitude towards Qin Yu!
He talked about work, pulling him aside for conversations time and again.
And now he was appearing directly in Qin Yu's room.
This time, it couldn't possibly still be about work, right?
There was definitely something fishy.
Keqing was very aware that besides her, no one else would be working overtime with Qin Yu late at night!
"General, we sisters are just here for a gathering to deepen our bonds."
"Moreover, Qin Yu and I are deeply in love, and the Kamisato family will eventually have a place for him."
High EQ: deepening bonds.
Low EQ: fighting over Qin Yu.
Ayaka Kamisato took a deep breath, her pretty face solemn.
As the owner of the Komore Teahouse, she had to step forward.
But vaguely, she felt that the General's gaze was becoming increasingly terrifying.
It was as if she was thinking of demolishing this place.
She wouldn't, would she?
"I am Xiao Yu's fiancée, so it's normal for me to be here."
Hiyori Hoshimori also refused to be outdone, raising her head and saying.
She had wanted to submit a petition to the General long ago, requesting a marriage decree.
She might as well make it clear here!
"Then, then I am Qin Yu's..."
Yoimiya opened her mouth, her gaze seeking help from the other women.
You all have reasons to be close to Qin Yu; what am I supposed to say!
Wuwuwu, you're all bullying me.
And that idiot Qin Yu, what a blockhead!
It's not like he wouldn't let her touch his eight-pack abs, which he got for no reason.
The emotional master of Hanami Slope, her mouth had jutted to the sky.
Ei: "?"
The women had clearly forgotten Ei's feelings.
These somewhat boastful remarks had too obvious an intent.
If this listening host were a neutral party, it would be fine.
But what if...
But, how was that possible?
How could Qin Yu, that guy, even charm a god?
Therefore, the women were completely at ease.
"Sisters? So that's how it is..."
Ei murmured, and began to ponder in her heart.
She suddenly understood something.
"Is this the war of the gods?"
The women: ???
It wasn't *that* cruel, was it...
Besides, which god would be fighting over Qin Yu?
"I understand," Ei closed her eyes and nodded slightly.
General, what do you understand?
"Who is in charge now?" Ei's gaze swept over the women.
The sisters all looked at Yoimiya simultaneously.
"?"
Yoimiya lowered her head, trembling.
What did it have to do with her!
Just as the women exchanged glances, each with their own thoughts.
A playful chuckle sounded.
"So, why are you appearing in Qin Yu's room in the middle of the night?"
Sandrone's lips curved slightly, her sapphire-blue eyes fixed on Ei.
"Could you please explain?"
As soon as she spoke.
A hint of waver finally appeared in Ei's purple eyes.
The women slowly widened their eyes.
As expected of Sandrone, she easily accomplished what they could not!
The women turned their gazes en masse to the silent Ei.
"General, please explain!"
At this moment, the tables had turned.
"I..."
Ei was stunned.
The pressure was now on her.
