Ying turned around in silence, no longer wishing to speak further with the Divine Maiden.
She leaned lightly against the railing, gazing into the distance.
Ripples appeared in her purple eyes as she watched Inazuma City.
At what stage has it progressed…?
“Yuzhen has changed you a lot.”
The Divine Maiden approached Ying, looking at her with concern.
In the past, Ying would not have cared what others thought.
But now…
She would subconsciously defend Qin Yu.
“?”
A purple glint flashed in Ying’s eyes as she stared directly at Yae Miko, who wore a playful smile.
“That name is not for you to say.”
Ying narrowed her eyes slightly, her tone peculiar.
Should disobedient dependents be spanked?
“Alright, it was just a joke.”
Yae Miko chuckled, covering her mouth and raising her hands to signal she had no other intentions.
“Hmph, what do you need me for?”
Ying finally withdrew her gaze and walked towards the Tenshukaku.
She knew her lazy dependent all too well.
Something must have happened.
“As expected, nothing gets past Ying.”
Yae Miko smiled and followed Ying back to the main hall, observing her surroundings.
Her gaze was eventually drawn to a pink book.
“Eh… you’re still reading that romance light novel from before.”
Yae Miko seemed to have discovered something new, leaning closer to Ying and whispering.
She deliberately emphasized the word “romance.”
“Do you have something to say?”
Ying remained unfazed, maintaining her aloof demeanor.
She gave off the impression that it had nothing to do with her, and that Qin Yu had left it there after finishing it.
Qin’s person: ?
“I thought you wouldn’t be able to accept the multi-female lead setting of this book.”
Yae Miko smiled, her words also carrying a hint.
You should have known already, right?
The troublesome girls around Qin Yu are increasing, aren’t they?
“…”
Ying’s expression remained calm, but she picked up the light novel and traced the cover with her fingertip.
“For the sake of this ending, I went to Yae Publishing House.”
She suddenly said.
That’s right, as a reader, it’s only reasonable to go to the author’s house to urge them to update, isn’t it?
Yae Miko was somewhat surprised by this.
So, the multi-female lead ending was what Ying…
“Choice is the root of suffering and contradiction.”
Ying said softly, her gaze softening slightly.
She had already experienced enough regret and pain.
Naturally, she didn’t want Yu to experience the same.
Besides, no matter how many more women appeared, they wouldn’t make any waves in front of her.
Because she was the Seven Archons of the world, the most sacred and noble being.
This was Ying’s confidence and power.
No matter how diverse the identities of the women around Qin Yu were, none of them could become a second deity.
In every sense, she was the greatest.
The advantage is mine.
“So you intend to resolve the root of suffering?”
A mischievous smile played on Yae Miko’s lips as she made a throat-slitting gesture.
Just get rid of them.
In the distance, Qin’s person suddenly felt a chill down his spine.
“…”
Ying let out a soft hum, her gaze growing colder.
If anyone dared to touch Qin Yu, she wouldn’t hesitate to strike them down.
“Alright, it seems you’ve made up your mind.”
Yae Miko shrugged, not pressing the matter further.
Her expression turned more serious.
What she was about to say next was the real issue.
“Ying, the corruption of the Divine Sakura is coming again.”
In the empty hall, the air suddenly froze.
Yae Miko felt immense pressure.
After a long silence.
“Sister…”
Ying finally sighed.
This was an unavoidable problem that had to be faced.
The Grand Sakura Ritual.
“If necessary, I will take action.”
She gently closed her eyes and waved her hand casually.
She seemed a little tired.
What was the point of slaying countless monsters and protecting Inazuma for thousands of years?
In the end, the only one by her side now was Yu.
Well, that pink pet didn’t count as a person.
Ying’s lips curved slightly.
Sister…
If possible, she wanted to hold Yu’s hand and introduce him to Raiden Makoto.
It wasn’t that she had thoughts of meeting the parents.
“With Ying’s words, I can finally relax.”
Yae Miko wore a genuine smile of relief, feeling a sense of emotion.
That little guy Qin Yu had pulled Ying out of her self-imposed gloom.
Not only had he pulled her out, but now he was trying to abduct her completely.
What a greedy fellow.
“You may leave now.”
Ying said indifferently, beginning to usher her out.
She still had to wait for Qin Yu to return to the Tenshukaku.
That pink fox shouldn’t come to cause trouble.
Yae Miko’s lips curved slightly, as she naturally saw through Ying’s thoughts.
“Oh right, Ying.”
“Is there any possibility… that Qin Yu could stay overnight at Komore Teahouse?”
The lazy, enchanting voice made Ying instinctively narrow her purple eyes.
“Komore Teahouse?”
Ying slowly closed the light novel in her hand, finally realizing the gravity of the situation.
She had forgotten to dismantle that place as well.
“If you don’t act soon, your home will be infiltrated!”
The fox-eared woman analyzed.
The majestic General listened intently.
…
Inazuma City, on the night market street.
Amidst the bustling crowd, pure white moonlight wandered.
“Finally, finally…!”
The golden-haired girl, clad in a pristine white cloak, carefully counted the coins in her purse.
Although it was only a few hundred Mora, it was an absolute fortune for her, who was penniless!
This meant she could live…
Under a bridge outside Inazuma City.
“Paimon, I’m so hungry.”
Paimon, perched on Lumine’s head, gazed at the food stalls with watering eyes.
“No hunger.”
Lumine huffed, flicking Paimon off her head.
“Ugh! That’s so mean!”
Little Paimon tumbled in the air for a few moments before steadying herself, stomping her feet in anger.
“Why did it turn out like this!”
They had wandered around Inazuma City for half the day, only to find nothing.
Contrary to the rumors of unrest, the area around Inazuma City had excellent security.
They heard it was all cleared out by someone named Qin Yu.
Someone was stealing their work…
They better not meet him!
Otherwise, they would have to catch him and freeload a meal.
“Hehe… food…”
Little Paimon, who had been sulking, broke into a foolish grin at the thought of food.
“Let’s go to the Adventurers’ Guild to check for commissions.”
Lumine shook her head, looking a little helpless.
Life was not easy, Lumine sighed.
With no money, all she could do was make a small quilt under a bridge.
No, she didn’t even have a small quilt now.
It had all sunk into the sea.
So miserable.
…
Adventurers’ Guild.
“To the stars…”
“Miss Katheryne, would you like to go on a date with me?”
Lumine leaned on the desk, interrupting Katheryne’s formal greeting.
She was feeling very sad right now and needed the gentle comfort of a beautiful girl!
“Perhaps you’d like to look at the new commissions instead.”
Katheryne’s smile remained unchanged, but she shook her head.
It seemed she was already accustomed to Lumine’s advances towards various beautiful girls.
“Become a personal maid? Please forgive me for refusing.”
Lumine glanced at the first two lines, then calmly raised her face, refusing with confidence.
She would not sell herself out.
“It only involves transporting materials, assisting with experiments, and preparing three meals a day.”
“And, there are sixty Primogems every day.”
“Indefinitely.”
Katheryne smiled.
“!”
Lumine’s golden pupils widened.
“So… so many Primogems!”
Paimon’s little face showed anxiety as she tugged at Lumine’s hand.
It was as if she could already see delicious giant chicken legs.
