Emotion points… Ei?!
Qin Mouren's brain began to overload.
Who was he, where was he, and what had he done to Ei?
"..."
The air froze for a moment.
The "Great Leader" covered her mouth, her beautiful violet eyes wide, trembling slightly.
Her face felt so hot.
Her heart pounded so fast.
She instinctively pursed her lips, as if still feeling the residual warmth and flutter.
So this was…
This was the happiness her sister possessed, a happiness she had never experienced.
At the same time, a terrifying thought crystallized in her mind.
Had she been… by Ei's little boyfriend?
"...Good evening."
Qin Yu stiffly raised his hand, attempting to ease the tense atmosphere.
The corners of his mouth twitched.
Damn it, he couldn't smile at all!
This situation had been a catastrophic accident.
It was one thing to secretly take advantage of the Great Leader and get caught.
At worst, one would bravely admit mistakes and try again.
But reality was often more fantastical than light novels.
It turned out that being caught by one's parents while being intimate was not scary.
What was truly terrifying was being intimate directly with the parent!
Qin Mouren gave up thinking.
"Qin… Yu…!"
As soon as he spoke, lightning flashed in Ei's eyes.
She suppressed her breath, her chest heaving, tracing a breathtaking curve.
When was the last time she drew her sword?
"This is all a misunderstanding!"
Qin Yu, seeing Ei draw Musou Shinso and prepare to strike, quickly intervened.
Please, let him explain his side of the story!
"Misunderstanding? You took advantage of my sister while she was asleep, and you have nothing else to say!"
Ei raised her sword, glaring at Qin Yu with a fierce tone.
So this was how it was. She had been caught red-handed.
As her elder sister, she had to stand up and protect her sister.
"Ei, I didn't mean to… Wait, sister?"
Qin Yu, who was about to surrender to Ei, suddenly realized something.
He looked at Ei, who was glaring at him indignantly, and froze.
This protective behavior…
Something was wrong. Had he kissed the wrong person just now?
"I wasn't kissing…"
"Hm?" Ei's voice rose in pitch.
The suicidal Qin Mouren, seeing Musou Shinso swaying, wisely shut his mouth.
He had amnesia; he knew nothing.
This was a dream; it had to be a dream.
The world has forgotten me…
Qin Yu tried to self-hypnotize.
【Ding, watching the four Archons fight, it's just around the corner.】kuAiδugg
The system suddenly popped up, adding insult to injury.
Qin Yu: Get back here!
【Take care, and by the way, for what you did to the Raiden sisters, you've received a check-in reward】
【Reward: Pure Anemo God's Power】
【May Barbatos… protect you, young man】
Qin Yu: …
In just a few sentences, there was so much information.
What was "that thing"? He wished she would explain herself more clearly.
And why Anemo God's power?
It couldn't be because Barbatos was preparing to follow the Mondstadt envoy to Inazuma, could it?
Something was off, very, very off.
The Anemo boy Kaedehara Kazuha had already caused him enough trouble.
If he had to deal with an Anemo God as well?
The scene was simply unimaginable.
…
While Qin Yu was lost in thought, Ei finally calmed down.
"Huuu..."
She pursed her lips and slowly lowered her sword.
Ei was not skilled in combat, and Musou Shinso was merely a deterrent for Qin Yu, not a true threat.
"Qin Yu?"
She blinked, noticing Qin Yu still in a daze.
She tentatively called out again, approached him, and waved her hand.
"Yu, what are you doing?"
Her feigned serious tone was remarkably effective.
Ei was naturally gentle and lively, but as the first Electro Archon, she still possessed considerable authority.
Qin Yu immediately snapped back to reality.
"Great Leader, I didn't do anything, don't swing your sword!"
Qin Mouren, seeing the "Great Leader" holding Musou Shinso and putting on a stern face, was ready to put up his shield.
His flustered appearance was just like a child caught stealing.
"..."
Ei's lips curved slightly, then she suppressed it.
But realizing she had been exposed, she stopped pretending and let out a soft huff.
Qin Yu regained his composure and smiled helplessly.
"I'm sorry."
He scratched his head, unsure of what else to say.
"Don't let me catch you doing anything bad to Ei next time, understand?"
Ei glanced at him, asserting her parental authority.
Yes, it was Ei.
She was the one who had been kissed, so what did it have to do with her as her elder sister?
"..."
But… did it really have nothing to do with her?
Ei pursed her lips, subconsciously recalling Qin Yu's…
So this was the taste that made her sister happy.
Unknowingly, Ei had gained something beautiful that she herself had never possessed.
This comforting yet complicated emotion…
Was it envy?
"..."
"Cough… Ei and I will do bad things sooner or later."
Qin Yu lowered his head in admission, indicating he would dare to do it again.
After all, he had done it several times already.
Kissing, and hugging.
"?"
Ei raised Musou Shinso again, her smile as warm as a spring breeze.
"Qin Yu, you wouldn't want Ei to know about you and the Greater Lord Rukkhadevata…"
Before she finished speaking, Qin Mouren's heart skipped a beat.
This familiar feeling, was he being blackmailed again?
"This… Actually, it was just writing some papers…"
Qin Yu opened his mouth, but then shook his head helplessly.
His leverage was in Ei's hands, and he had completely messed up.
He hadn't expected this on his first day meeting his girlfriend's family.
"..."
Thinking of this, Qin Yu felt something was wrong again.
How did Ei know?
"Those girls with whom you have soul bonds, I can't hide them from me."
Ei winked meaningfully, satisfied with Qin Yu's current demeanor.
Her sister's little boyfriend was not behaving; she had to educate him properly on behalf of her sister.
"So that's how you found out?"
Qin Yu's expression turned strange, and he scrutinized Ei deeply.
Soul bonds…
"?"
Ei seemed to have noticed a blind spot herself, her violet eyes widening slightly.
"In that case…!"
After her soul was captured by the net, an inseparable connection was formed between her and Qin Yu.
In other words, she could no longer leave Qin Yu.
?
Ei finally realized.
Unknowingly, her soul connection with Qin Yu had become even more intimate than Ei's connection with Qin Yu.
Thinking of this, Ei subconsciously looked up at Qin Yu, who was slowly approaching.
The distance between them quietly closed.
"You've finally realized it."
Qin Yu looked at Ei, her eyes twinkling, and a slight smile played on his lips.
At this moment, he smiled like a villain.
"Ei, you wouldn't want Ei to know that her most trusted sister…"
Turning the tables.
"..."
Ei heard the amusement in Qin Yu's voice and let out a soft huff.
Ei's little boyfriend was truly not simple.
"Rest well, Ei is still waiting for you."
Qin Yu smiled, took a step back, and said softly.
Just a joke, stop at the right moment.
"The one who truly needs to rest is Ei."
Ei shook her head, her eyes filled with tenderness.
Her sister's lingering obsession had weighed on Ei for too long.
But fortunately, Qin Yu was by her side.
Everything in Inazuma had become even more beautiful because of him.
She had to thank him properly.
Thinking this, Ei's lips curved into an arc.
She looked at Qin Yu and slowly extended her jade-like hand.
"Take this opportunity and accompany me for a walk."
Cherry blossoms scattered as the gentle Ei invited him, her smile breathtakingly beautiful.
Just the two of us.
"...?"
Qin Yu raised an eyebrow.
Why did he have the feeling that the child had fallen asleep?
