Chapter 348 On the Beach, The Women Meet

On the island of Seirai, at a hastily constructed port.

Facing the sea breeze, Qin Yu looked up at the fleet on the water and waved.

A smile inadvertently appeared at the corner of his mouth.

He had already spotted familiar figures on board.

"Hey—Qin Yu—!"

From a distance, an excited voice called out.

It was the energetic, firework-bright, and lively orange-haired girl.

At this moment, she was bent over the railing of the ship, waving her little hands with all her might.

Like a little rabbit about to be let out of its cage, hopping and skipping.

"Really, be careful."

Qin Yu smiled and replied loudly.

You've become more energetic, Yoimiya.

In every sense.

He suddenly felt a surge of motivation.

It was only natural to be infected by the cheerfulness and liveliness of such an energetic girl.

"Hehe… Qin Yu…!"

After receiving Qin Yu's reply from afar, Yoimiya's small face lit up with joy.

She shook her head, her beautiful big eyes curving into lovely crescent moons, shining brightly.

Putting one hand on her hip, she made a victory sign.

She was out on an outing and was about to land on the island, full of excitement.

The gentle sea breeze lifted the girl's soft hair, scattering it in the wind.

She looked incredibly cute.

Just as the two were exchanging glances across the sea.

"…"

A fair hand suddenly reached out from behind Yoimiya and gently patted her.

"Aya, Ayaka…"

Yoimiya's body trembled, and she turned her head with a hint of grievance.

"My dear best friend, what's making you so happy?"

Kamisato Ayaka, with her gentle voice and considerate demeanor, approached her quietly, her smile benevolent.

The paper fan in her hand made an ominous creaking sound.

"Ayaka, why do you walk so silently…!"

"Hehe… why are you hiding…"

"Wuwu."

Miss Yoimiya, once again captured by her best friend.

The little rabbit that had been so lively moments ago could only puff out her cheeks now.

Qin Yu coughed lightly, his expression a little unnatural.

He had already sensed a certain dark and dangerous gaze.

It seemed the entire process of his kissing Keqing had been witnessed.

In short, danger!

"Hmph, keep staring and your eyes will pop out."

Suddenly, the air around him turned cold.

Keqing, with her long, black-stockinged legs, appeared beside Qin Yu.

She snorted, met Ayaka's gaze, and provocatively lifted her chin.

Qin Yu's kissing partner isn't you, the young lady of the Yashiro Commission, but me, Keqing!

"…!"

Ayaka looked at Keqing, who was so imposing and breathtakingly beautiful, her eyes narrowing slightly.

Their gazes met, neither willing to back down.

"Keqing, be good."

Qin Yu, feeling a headache coming on, subtly tugged Keqing's hand.

Before they had even officially met, the air was already thick with tension.

Everyone, let's be harmonious and loving!

"Now you know headaches? You greedy bad boy."

Keqing looked at Qin Yu with a mournful gaze and couldn't help but kick him.

"?"

Qin Yu was slightly taken aback; Keqing was about to bite.

Seeing Keqing about to deliver another kick, Qin Yu decisively acted.

Disobedient cat, today I'll show you your place in the household!

*Slap*!

A crisp sound echoed, accompanied by a shameful, suppressed gasp.

"You!"

Keqing's body trembled, and she immediately bristled.

Her cheeks flushed, and she frantically covered her behind with her hands, biting her trembling lips.

She was actually spanked?!

"If you don't behave, I'll spank you all sooner or later."

Qin Yu dropped his pretense, declaring he had to assert his authority today.

Sooner or later meant from morning to night.

"Qin Yu—!"

On the beach, Keqing chased Qin Yu, hitting him with cat-like punches.

The ship docked, and a large number of samurai formed ranks.

Qin Yu, having tidied his appearance, stood with his hands behind his back, exuding an air of authority.

But soon, he couldn't maintain it.

"Hehe… Sister Keqing, seeing you leave in such a hurry, I knew you'd get here first."

In the sea breeze, Kamisato Ayaka approached Keqing with a benevolent smile.

At this moment, she had shed her usual noble attire and was wearing a simple dress.

But even so, it did not conceal her stunning beauty.

Flowing ribbons outlined her slender waist and her full chest.

Her long, elegant legs were pressed together, smooth and fair, with graceful curves.

Holding a paper fan, she appropriately pressed down her slightly raised skirt, revealing a captivating sight.

Kamisato Ayaka stood there, exuding a purity and elegance like a white egret, her aura beautiful.

And in front of Ayaka, Keqing was not intimidated by the noble lady's presence.

You have bare legs and white socks; I have black stockings and high heels.

Who's afraid of whom?

"Hmph, naturally. After all, if too much time is wasted, many things won't get done."

Keqing smiled slightly and smoothed her hair, which Qin Yu had ruffled.

Then, she inadvertently extended the tip of her pink tongue, like a cat, and licked her lips.

Clearly savoring something.

"…!"

The two women glared at each other, the atmosphere growing more tense.

"Everyone, let's have fun together."

Shuun Sen, blocking the two women, said softly.

As she spoke, she raised her pretty face and looked at Qin Yu with gentle eyes.

As the head of the Kanjou Commission, managing Inazuma's economy, she had become more mature and elegant.

"…"

Qin Yu smiled and silently mouthed a few words.

Rich woman, hungry, hugs.

Shuun Sen's cheeks flushed slightly, and she couldn't help but give him a sideways glance.

In front of her childhood friend, she was still the innocent girl who wanted to count stars with Xiao Yu.

"We're having a lot of fun!"

Unaware of the subtle exchange, Ayaka and Keqing simultaneously raised their voices.

For a moment, the three women crowded together, their chests pressing against each other, deforming with the impact.

The air was thick with unspoken tension.

"…They shouldn't have brought their swords out, right."

Qin Yu coughed lightly and muttered to himself.

If the situation escalated, he'd have to intervene quickly.

Just then.

"Qin Yu—"

The lively Yoimiya, carrying a backpack, ran over from a distance and headbutted him.

"What's so heavy…!"

*Clang*, Qin Yu felt a dull ache in his chest and instinctively took half a step back.

This girl had no sense of proportion.

"Hmph-hmph-hmph… they're all my carefully prepared little toys."

Yoimiya tilted her snow-white neck, propped her chin with her fingers, and said proudly.

After speaking, she winked at Qin Yu.

Her cute pout seemed to ask, why aren't you praising me yet?

"They're not all… fireworks, are they?"

Qin Yu looked at the bulging backpack, from which suspicious fuses were even visible, and his mouth twitched.

As expected of you, Yoimiya.

How did you manage to bring these contraband items onto a Tenryou Commission ship?

"Ahaha… no, no…!"

Yoimiya's gaze flickered, and just as she was about to explain.

Suddenly, a chill ran down her back.

"Miss Yoimiya, I can't pretend I didn't hear what you just said."

A calm voice, with natural dignity and a hint of coldness, spoke.

At the same time, a faint sense of pressure permeated the air.

"Qin Yu… it, it's that woman!"

Yoimiya trembled at the sound and quickly hid behind Qin Yu, reaching out a small hand to point in a direction.

"Everyone here is on our side, what are you afraid of."

Qin Yu smiled helplessly and looked up.

From amidst the military formation, a tall woman walked out, also watching him.

"Lord Qin Yu, we meet again."

Kujou Sara said softly.
