In the room, the expressions of several women changed.
What did that mean?
"Hmph."
Keqing straightened her upper body, crossing her arms.
Her fair chin was slightly raised, exuding confidence and composure.
"Not to be underestimated,"
Kamisato Ayaka said with a gentle smile.
Shuusen Chiyari frowned slightly, comparing them inwardly.
The gazes of the women eventually converged on Yoimiya.
From any angle, it felt like a violation.
"..."
Yoimiya buried her face, wanting to stare at her feet.
Damn it, something was blocking her line of sight!
"Hm?"
Only Nahida blinked her eyes.
From a rational perspective, she should be the tallest.
But why were everyone looking at that spot?
The little grass god covered her chest.
Did this have anything to do with age?
"Little sister, we were discussing the ranking among sisters."
"Do you want to join too?"
Sandrone's lips curved slightly as she teased.
She was just a child, not a threat.
As she spoke, her azure eyes sparkled as she looked at Kamisato Ayaka.
"Don't you think so, Ayaka-imouto?"
Earlier on the street, Kamisato Ayaka had called Keqing 'Jiejie'.
Unfortunately, Sandrone had overheard.
And Keqing, having lost a bet, had to call Sandrone 'Jiejie'.
Thus, the seniority was established.
"?"
Yoimiya blinked her eyes.
She had won without even trying, becoming the eldest among them?
Then would Qin Yu also have to…
No, no!
The lively girl rubbed her thighs and shook her head secretly.
With her best friend right beside her, she couldn't have strange thoughts!
"Heh..."
Kamisato Ayaka chuckled, her expression calm.
To disrupt her by a mere form of address was too wishful thinking.
She gently pushed the warm teacup towards Keqing.
"A temporary ranking doesn't mean anything."
"Moreover... there's always a matter of who comes first, isn't there?"
Kamisato Ayaka smiled, elegant and poised.
"Since Miss Keqing has just arrived in Inazuma, I naturally need to take more care of you."
She gestured for Keqing to drink the tea she had brewed.
And at the same time, she subtly alluded to Sandrone and Keqing.
*I was the one who stayed by Master's side first!*
The friendly atmosphere among the sisters vanished instantly.
"..."
Keqing's beautiful eyes narrowed, staring at her own exquisite face reflected in the tea.
"Don't you like it?"
Kamisato Ayaka's eyes flickered, her smile becoming even more amiable.
Why wasn't she drinking?
Keqing gently shook her head and picked up the teacup.
Her brows rose slightly.
This tea was a bit hot to hold.
Was she trying to imply she was the newcomer and pressure her to back down?
"Thank you."
Keqing smiled politely, her eyes still calm.
She took a sip of the tea and nodded slightly.
Kamisato Ayaka had an elegant demeanor, and her tea ceremony was excellent.
Indeed, none of the girls around Qin Yu were ordinary…
To put it plainly, none of them were simple opponents.
However, did she think she would retreat?
Keqing looked at Kamisato Ayaka and smiled slightly.
"No need for your care."
"I prefer to actively pursue what I want."
Sorry, she never fell for such tactics.
Keqing the cat was, after all, a thorough action-oriented person.
Of course, when it came to emotions, she was a tsundere.
Fortunately, Keqing encountered Qin Yu's straightforward approach.
That kiss that day was her answer.
She would never let go now.
"Heh… Miss Keqing has great spirit."
Kamisato Ayaka clapped her hands lightly with a smile, seemingly quite impressed.
*Another troublesome girl has appeared, Master.*
*Ayaka is getting anxious…*
"Keqing-imouto is right."
Sandrone gently stirred her teacup and said softly.
"But in a foreign land, one always needs friends."
"..."
Keqing and Sandrone exchanged glances and nodded at each other.
They would form a temporary alliance.
As for their opponents…
They were naturally the two young ladies.
"Miss Keqing, how long have you known Xiao Yu?"
Shuusen Chiyari said softly, her tone gentle.
Keqing did not answer immediately.
She realized that this seemingly harmless young lady was not to be underestimated.
"..."
Sandrone shook her head secretly.
Shuusen Chiyari, as Qin Yu's childhood friend and former fiancée,
Ordinary means would indeed not be able to handle this Kanjō奉行.
The easiest to handle was actually…
"?"
Yoimiya hugged the little angel Nahida, her big eyes darting around.
The relationships were too chaotic, she couldn't keep up with the gossip.
The white-haired loli in her arms was still cute.
"Hmph, time is not important."
Keqing snorted lightly, saying confidently.
"What matters is what has been done."
Upon hearing this, the women realized something was amiss.
Before they could ask.
"Did you and Qin Yu...!"
Yoimiya pouted her lips, pointing with two fingers.
*Kissed?*
Everyone understood what that meant.
"Of course."
Keqing turned her face away haughtily, a slight smile on her lips.
She also deliberately added vaguely:
"He initiated it."
Keqing the cat was also starting to play subtle tricks.
*Can any of you do that?*
*A certain puppet girl doesn't count!*
The atmosphere in the room suddenly froze.
"..."
Kamisato Ayaka took a deep breath and looked at the sword by her leg.
The elegant and polite young lady was slightly flustered.
*Her Master...*
*When did this woman steal him away!*
"Hmph, I've long wanted to experience Inazuma's swordsmanship."
Keqing's legs in black stockings rested on a Yazamune, also not backing down.
If she couldn't win, then they would spar!
"Eh? Wait, wait a moment!"
Yoimiya was startled and quickly spoke to stop them.
*When did you bring weapons in?*
*What happened to friendly conversation!*
As the two women confronted each other, a soft voice rang out.
"Qin Yu-gege... doesn't like this."
Hearing the healing and gentle voice, the women calmed down.
Most importantly, they heard Qin Yu's name.
The tense atmosphere eased slightly.
"Hmph."
Keqing snorted lightly, then looked apologetically at Nahida.
"Sorry, did I scare you?"
Nahida smiled and shook her head.
She blinked her innocent big eyes again and looked at Kamisato Ayaka.
"Can't everyone get along?"
Nahida had endured loneliness for too long.
Imprisoned by the Akademiya and losing her freedom, this was the first time she had met so many kind people.
She genuinely wanted to protect this beauty.
*Everyone's sun is Qin Yu.*
*Why then must they argue with each other?*
"..."
Facing the little angel Nahida, Kamisato Ayaka's gaze softened.
This child was so cute.
In the quietness, the women's attention was drawn to Nahida.
The little angel became everyone's truce.
"Thank you, everyone."
Nahida clapped her little hands, revealing a warm smile.
"?"
Sandrone's heart tensed slightly.
*This child... possesses spiritual power?*
She sensed something extraordinary about the little angel Nahida.
Just as she was about to speak, she finally let out a soft laugh.
"You've arrived just in time."
She had thought the sisters would have plenty of time for casual chat.
But it was ending so quickly.
...
Outside the house, steady footsteps could be heard.
With a swish, the door was pulled open.
"Who?"
Hearing the sound, the women instinctively looked towards the door.
"Qin Yu!"
A delighted voice rang out.
Who else could it be but Qin Yu, appearing before the women's eyes?
"Good evening, everyone."
However, Qin Yu's face was full of seriousness at this moment.
The next second…
He strode between Keqing and Kamisato Ayaka.
Under the astonished gazes of the women, he reached out his hands.
He directly took the swords from the two women and placed them on the table.
"No fighting, understand."
Qin Yu said with a serious expression.
"I...!"
Keqing and Kamisato Ayaka subconsciously wanted to respond.
Before they could speak.
"Slap!"
Two sounds rang out in the room almost simultaneously.
"Yow!"
The faces of the two women flushed red, and they simultaneously covered their behinds.
"Are you listening?"
Qin Yu withdrew his hands from both sides and asked again.
If he didn't assert some authority, there would be trouble sooner or later.
And spanking was undoubtedly the quickest and most effective method!
