"Wait a moment!"
Qin Yu instinctively reached out, about to grab the retreating figure.
Take me to the Pure Heart Realm, won't you!
"Hmph, this is your punishment for getting close to other girls."
Zhen snorted softly.
As the elder sister, she had to teach Yu a small lesson for her sister.
Of course, there was a bit of personal sentiment involved.
"..."
Zhen left, and Qin Yu stood frozen.
That's right.
He had barely spent time with Zhen, and now he was abandoned.
Even though the moonlight at this moment was so beautiful.
But the reality was...
He stood alone in the evening breeze, a chill running down his spine.
"Cute little guy, stop hiding."
A playful voice came from the small woods in the distance.
Yet, it carried a hint of underlying danger.
Caught red-handed, what excuse can you possibly give?
"That's the Shrine Maiden's voice... and Columbia."
"Why is Lumine joining the fun too!"
This, this isn't right.
Shouldn't the three girls be staying in their own places, waiting for him quietly?
Why did they all gather here!
Qin Yu opened his mouth, looking around instinctively.
At this critical moment, there was no escape route!
Clearly, Mr. Qin had messed up again.
And he had messed up completely.
"Qin Yu, you're surrounded!"
A rustling sound came from the bushes.
The next moment, Lumine, the maid, emerged, hands on her hips.
The anti-Qin Yu cuddling vanguard, reporting for duty!
"Lumine... what are you holding?"
Qin Yu's cold sweat was dripping.
Could it be that she was going to broadcast this live?
This maid is getting more and more disobedient!
"Huh? Why is it offline?"
Lumine instinctively looked at the communication device, frowning.
She vaguely remembered that Sandrone had received some message.
After that, her expression changed.
Who could it be?
...
"Everyone... let's talk this through properly."
Mr. Qin tried to placate the women.
But it was clearly ineffective.
"Who were you on a date with?"
A gentle voice, full of concern.
Yae Miko, Columbia.
The two "bad women" were smiling as they sized him up.
As if choosing which part to claim later.
"I... I just came out to see the moon, and the fireworks."
Qin Yu instinctively hugged himself, slowly backing away.
Please put away your dangerous thoughts!
"Where were you going?"
Lumine pricked up her ears, acutely noticing Qin Yu's small movements.
Was he going to find a fourth girl?!
Qin Yu: ...
How did you know there was a fourth one?
The air fell silent for a moment.
Mr. Qin confessed without being interrogated.
"Qin Yu—!"
The three women walked over, sandwiching Qin Yu between them.
Beneath the harmonious and loving atmosphere, waves of turmoil surged.
Quickly confess who the fourth woman is!
"Wait, I really came here for the fireworks!"
Mr. Qin felt like he was suffocating from the pressure.
He pointed towards Inazuma City, trying to salvage the situation.
The fireworks just now were so beautiful...
"Fireworks?"
The three women glanced over subconsciously.
Under the night sky, Inazuma City was brilliantly prosperous.
But there were no fireworks.
"..."
The women looked at Qin Yu again, their smiles amiable.
"That's it?"
Qin Yu's eyes widened slowly.
Why did they stop at the most crucial moment!
"Heh... what other excuses do you have."
Yae Miko's eyes gleamed playfully as she looked at the speechless Qin Yu.
Perhaps giving up the struggle now might lessen your punishment.
"Too tired, you're even seeing hallucinations."
Columbia smiled meaningfully.
You must have been very tired, going in and out of different girls' rooms all night.
How about we lock you up and let you relax?
"Qin Yu!"
Lumine puffed out her cheeks, pressing forward.
This time, she had won.
She would definitely get revenge for the spanking in the basement!
"Everyone calm down, it's really not what you think."
Qin Yu gave up resisting, a helpless expression on his face.
The atmosphere was already so tense, he definitely couldn't reveal Zhen's involvement.
Stop it, if this continues, it will be a war of the gods!
"Come back with me!"
The three women looked at Qin Yu, who no longer resisted, and spoke in unison.
As soon as they finished speaking, the air fell silent.
"?"
The women exchanged glances.
Yae Miko's lips curled into a playful arc.
She still had some questions about magic she wanted to discuss with Qin Yu.
Columbia's smile remained, and she quietly moved closer to Qin Yu.
Unfortunately, she needed to replenish her energy again.
Lumine blinked her big eyes, full of seriousness.
She had to stop Qin Yu from getting close to other girls.
"..."
The unbreakable alliance instantly showed signs of wavering.
Yes, now was the time to decide who got Qin Yu.
Who goes first?
The women knew it in their hearts.
This wasn't even about who went first.
They had never intended to hand Qin Yu over to another woman from the beginning!
"Do you all want to do it together?"
Mr. Qin realized, looking innocent.
Since the three women had gathered, he wouldn't pretend anymore.
A whole night of mahjong sounded pretty good.
"?"
Just as the three women's auras turned dangerous.
A brilliant radiance illuminated everyone's faces.
"Fireworks?"
Qin Yu was slightly stunned, and instinctively looked up at the night sky.
Inazuma City, which had been silent for a moment, was once again bathed in colorful light.
...
Komore Teahouse.
"Yay, fireworks!"
Nilou looked up at the dazzling night sky, her beautiful eyes sparkling.
She happily stood on her tiptoes, waving a sparkler in her hand.
The beautiful scenery was like a blooming sea of flowers, mesmerizing.
I wonder if Qin Yu has seen them?
And Miss Yelan.
She disappeared somewhere after disembarking.
"I'm glad Miss Nilou likes them."
Ayaka smiled softly beside her.
"There are still many more!"
Yoimiya said triumphantly, hands on her hips.
...
"So beautiful..."
Lumine's small mouth parted, her eyes sparkling.
"There really are fireworks."
Yae Miko seemed a little surprised, looking at Qin Yu.
It felt like a celebration of Inazuma's new life.
Yes...
The little guy from before had grown so much, enough to change Inazuma.
"A very beautiful sight."
Columbia tilted her head back and gently took Qin Yu's arm.
Times like these should be spent with companions.
"It seems everyone likes them."
Qin Yu smiled, feeling content.
This level of fireworks...
It must be from that girl Yoimiya, and everyone else.
So what she said was true.
Fireworks fade easily, but affection endures.
No matter how far apart everyone is,
When we gaze at the fireworks, our hearts are always connected.
Thinking of this, Qin Yu's heart stirred.
"..."
Yae Miko raised an eyebrow as she watched Qin Yu's hand reaching out.
Such a restless fellow.
"Ahem, let's watch the fireworks."
Mr. Qin, with Columbia leaning on him and holding Yae Miko's hand.
He was a proper gentleman, after all.
"What are you doing?"
Lumine reacted, about to separate the three.
No cuddling allowed!
The scene became chaotic for a moment.
Finally...
"Alright, you stand in the middle."
"I, I don't want to!"
"Come on."
Qin Yu held up the recording device, a smile on his face.
In the small frame...
Columbia and Yae Miko leaned against Qin Yu.
And in the middle was a ruffled Lumine, like a cat.
Yes, for the photo, she had to wear cat ears.
"Three, two, one...!"
At this moment, it was recorded.
The fireworks filled the sky, brilliant and beautiful.
And the women surrounding Qin Yu were even more stunning.
...
Qin Yu blinked.
He noticed Columbia's Vision was glowing.
"What's this?"
Silently, an exquisite snowflake landed before him.
Qin Yu instinctively reached out to catch it, feeling a chill in his palm.
The snowflake melted.
As if it had never existed.
"Is this... your gentleness?"
"It's a pity that gentleness only accelerates the passing of beauty."
A voice in his mind whispered.
Like a cold plum blossom blooming in the ice and snow.
