"Huh...?"
Seeing the majestic general nod, the women sitting around the table also let out a soft hum.
They shifted closer.
Curiosity had been piqued by Qin Yu, leaving them itching for more.
Telekinesis was an ability they had never witnessed firsthand.
If anyone else had spoken, they would have simply dismissed it as a pre-arranged magic trick and smiled knowingly.
But... it was Qin Yu, of all people.
They had already seen enough of his many wondrous abilities.
It seemed like adding one more wouldn't be out of the ordinary.
"Wait a moment, don't crowd me."
Qin Yu cleared his throat and looked at the leader, who hadn't spoken yet.
This small room had endured more than it should have.
Speaking of which, his own home had been destroyed by the leader.
Should he consider rebuilding a slightly larger house?
It would be fine to just sleep whenever he felt tired.
"..."
Ei let out a soft huff, about to say something.
"Heh heh... a suitable ability for winning over girls."
Nahida blinked, saying meaningfully.
As she spoke, she turned her head and glanced at Ei.
"To have a good child like Qin Yu accompanying you, even I am starting to envy you."
Ei: "?"
She subtly straightened her posture, her expression outwardly remaining serene.
It was only natural to feel happy when the "cabbage" she had her eyes on received praise from others.
Moreover, it was from one of the Seven Archons, the Dendro Archon.
This inexplicably joyful feeling...
Even the aloof general couldn't escape it.
From a general perspective, wasn't everyone a girl?
It was just that she was a bit older and a bit more violent in fights, wasn't it?
"Just a small trick, good for passing the time."
The aloof Ei crossed her arms, suppressing the urge to curve her lips upwards.
She looked a bit fierce.
Qin Yu: ...
The leader's mood was truly unpredictable.
"Alright, everyone turn your attention to me."
He stopped overthinking, clapped his hands, and smiled.
"Right here?"
Kamisato Ayaka was pulled back to her seat by Qin Yu, her small mouth slightly agape.
The kitchen, where the desserts were, was several rooms away.
In other words, Master was really planning to retrieve items out of thin air.
"If he can really do it... that would be too magical."
Yoimiya puffed out her cheeks, unable to comprehend it no matter how hard she tried.
She blinked, her mind starting to wander.
When would the big idiot Qin Yu also try to please her like this?
Lively girls were easy to charm.
Of course, this applied only to Qin Yu.
...
"Let's begin!"
The women said expectantly.
"Alright, watch this...!"
Qin Yu was full of confidence, smiling assuredly.
With his talent in hand, there was no way he'd mess up.
He slowly extended both hands, forming a " " shape, and aimed in a direction.
At the same time, emerald light flashed from his eyes, as if piercing through everything.
[Combat Talent: Omnipresence]
[After unlocking the corresponding fixed talent, one can interact with gatherable items within range through Omnipresence.]
[Perhaps there are other effects.]
[Such as detecting the inner thoughts of others...]
That's right, after a profound academic exchange with Nahida, Qin Yu had obtained the complete set of the Dendro Archon's talents.
"Qin Yu, can you do it?"
The women watched Qin Yu expectantly, seeming more nervous than him, the person involved.
"Of course, no problem, let me see... Huh?!"
Qin Yu responded confidently and slowly moved his aiming point.
But before he could finish speaking, his expression suddenly changed.
"!"
He quickly turned his hands towards the ceiling.
Clang!
In his haste, Qin almost fell backward, but thankfully Yoimiya caught him.
"What's wrong?"
Ei sensed something was amiss and looked at Qin Yu.
She didn't want Qin Yu to encounter any accidents because of her.
"Cough cough! I'm fine, just a little… situation!"
Qin Yu tilted his head back, his face stiff.
Recalling what had just happened.
While searching for desserts, his aiming point inevitably swept across the curious women.
And then...
Something shocking happened to Qin.
On the women, there were interaction prompts for gatherable items!
What kind of gatherable items could girls have?
Ayaka's socks? Keqing's black stockings?
With a spirit of inquiry, Qin wanted to try...
As if!
Qin Yu: System, are you trying to kill me?!
He had a desire for knowledge, but he wasn't a pervert who stole girls' intimate apparel!
Do you understand what a decent person is!
[Ding, this system does not take the blame.]
[Kindly strengthened the talent, expanding the types of gatherable items.]
[You may or may not want it.]
Qin Yu: ...
Let me thank you.
The women: "?"
"Qin Yu, do you need help?"
As they spoke, they started to gather around again.
What exactly happened? Speak clearly.
"Cough cough, it's fine."
Qin Yu pretended to be calm, shook his head, and gestured for the women to spread out.
If anyone had come closer while he was casting...
"Mhm, be careful."
The women didn't doubt him and moved further away.
Only Yoimiya remained, holding Qin Yu's chair.
She looked at Qin Yu, who was leaning back as if about to lean into her embrace.
The girl's heart began to race.
While activating his talent, Qin Yu's attention was focused within the aiming range, and he didn't notice what was behind him.
This also gave Yoimiya an opportunity.
The lively girl felt a surge of secret delight and excitement.
Surrounded by the other women and her best friend... she succeeded.
The plan to quietly approach the big idiot was successful!
"Let's try again."
Qin Yu breathed a sigh of relief and smiled.
This time, there was absolutely no way he'd mess up.
"..."
He lowered his aiming point and began to move, indeed encountering no further obstacles.
The dessert appeared within his targeting range.
"Good... I see it."
Qin Yu's lips curved upwards.
An emerald confirmation box appeared, locking onto the dessert.
Hmm? Why was there another one placed over there alone?
Never mind, I'll take them all at once, and give the leader a surprise...!
Thinking this, Qin Yu moved his fingertips, confident in his flick shot.
Omnipresence, activate!
However...
"Are you done yet, Qin Yu? Let me see!"
Suddenly, a pretty face squeezed into the aiming range.
The smile on Qin Yu's face froze instantly.
Yoimiya?!
The confirmation box instantly gained another target.
It locked onto the girl's proud chest.
"Wait a moment!"
He wanted to stop the talent, but it was too late.
Swish!
Desserts appeared in Qin Yu's hand.
And a clump of white, hot, and fragrant... !
"?!"
He paused, stunned, and looked up at Yoimiya.
"Yaa!"
Yoimiya let out a cute cry, instinctively hugging herself, too dazed to react.
But that cool, unconstrained feeling...
A delicate blush quietly spread across her stunning face.
Their gazes met and froze.
"Huh?"
In the dim light, before the other women could get a clear look at the situation.
Clang!
Yoimiya tumbled onto the table.
Qin Yu, seizing the moment when everyone's attention was diverted, quickly put away the white bandages.
"Yoimiya, are you feeling unwell?"
Kamisato Ayaka, concerned for her best friend, went to her side.
"I-I'm fine...!"
The lively girl mumbled with her face buried, her tender ear tips particularly enticing.
This round...
The Love Master of Hanamizaka scored big.
