"Sister?"
"..."
Columbina noticed Sandrone's gaze and shook her head slightly.
The first attempt had clearly yielded nothing.
But Qin Yu's reaction was stiff. Coupled with the unusual atmosphere, a little thought would reveal something. Not many people could "hold Qin Yu hostage."
Could it be...
"Heh."
The women exchanged glances. As everyone knows, "bad women" have telepathic connections. Even with just a few words, they can deduce the general outline of events.
Yae Miko, Gokusai Palace: [Are you all staring at the Cryo Archon?]
Columbina, Sandrone: [Are you all staring at the Raiden Shogun?]
All the women: [So you too...]
Columbina: [How should we proceed?]
Yae Miko: [Heh, at this point, what do you think?]
Through internal voice communication, the first team instantly reached a consensus. This was the Justice League of nosy people watching their superior's gossip!
...
"?"
Qin Yu, surrounded by the women, looked stiff. This wasn't right. He resembled a little boy surrounded by many older sisters. A famous scene from doujinshi: elevator, older sisters, little boy, older sisters.jpg.
"Heh heh... it's rare for everyone to gather. I happen to know a good place, let's go sit for a while." Yae Miko smiled playfully, gently hooking Qin Yu's arm and whispering tenderly. Precious relaxation time should be cherished, don't you think. My cute little one~
"I've prepared snacks." Sandrone jingled the bag in her hand, her smile kind. They're all your favorites, my companion. Even if there's a strange filling inside, it should be fine, right?
"And some alcoholic beverages." Columbina covered her mouth and chuckled, her every move elegant and serene. My travel companion. Warm drinks from Snezhnaya, you'll definitely like them. If you can't finish them, I won't let you leave halfway.
"Heh... heh heh..." Qin Yu, trapped in a fiery abyss, felt a chill run down his spine. True sister, Your Majesty the Tsaritsa. My mission is complete, please come save me!
...
Time slowly passed.
In the Fox's Enchanting House.
"So amazing!"
"Go, go!"
"Three, two, one! —"
Inside the small room, the atmosphere was heated. The joyful laughter and cheers of the women echoed.
Bang!
Qin Yu drained the drink in one gulp. He shook his head, trying to sober up. He raised his still-drunken eyes and was stunned.
"Eh... Columbina... when did you... learn the art of duplication..." He reached out, trying to grab one Columbina. Unfortunately, his hand landed directly on Sandrone's small face. It seemed he was still not quite sober.
"My companion, you can't take advantage of a lady just because you've had a drink." Sandrone gently patted Qin Yu's large hand, her tone playful. He gave Columbina-an-nee-san a strange smile.
"S-sorry." Qin Yu scratched his head sheepishly. On one side, Columbina gently strummed the lyre, her singing melodious. On the other side, Sandrone thoughtfully offered snacks, feeding him. In such a scene, even a decent person would feel overwhelmed. Corrupt, too corrupt.
"Qin Yu-sama, have another drink." Gokusai Palace held a jar of wine with both hands and leaned beside Qin Yu, coaxing him softly. Perhaps it was because it was warm in the room, her pretty face was flushed. She tilted her stunningly beautiful face, her alluring golden eyes blinking, captivating. As expected of Qin Yu's fox, she was naturally skilled at wearing people down.
"No... I really can't drink anymore..." Qin Yu waved his hands repeatedly, his face flushed. Ever since his poor alcohol tolerance was exposed during the last picnic, Miss Fox had secretly kept it in mind. Now, they were starting by getting him drunk one after another. Who could withstand this!
"Heh~ Come on, no refusing." On the other side, Yae Miko also leaned close to Qin Yu, her voice seductive. She directly picked up a bowl and brought it to Qin Yu's lips. Good boy, open wide. Miss Fox sat with her legs crossed, her shrine maiden outfit's hem rather inconvenient, so she lifted it slightly. The scenery of her bare feet, well, those who know, know.
Gulp, gulp, gulp.
"Ugh—" Faced with repeated persuasion, Qin Yu quickly got tipsy. Wait, doesn't this script look familiar? Damn, it's the legendary honey trap. Faced with such an irresistible tender embrace, the double agent was careless. It was a pity that by the time he realized it, it was too late. The room grew increasingly stuffy, Qin Yu's mind was hazy, and he slumped onto the wooden table, throwing up his hands in surrender.
"I... I have a mission... I can't drink anymore." He closed his eyes and mumbled softly. He had directly fallen asleep.
"Qin Yu? Be honest, who gave you the mission?" The women nudged him.
"It... it was..." The women gathered around, heads touching. Hurry up and tell us.
"Heh heh... I can't say..." Qin Yu grinned.
"..." The women snorted softly. So drunk after just a few drinks, truly pathetic. However, the plan went smoothly, saving some trouble.
"Let's send him to his room to sober up first." Yae Miko's lips curved slightly, and a spark of delight flashed in her alluring purple eyes. She looked at Columbina, "The construction of the dream, you and I will join forces." Then she looked at Gokusai Palace, "As for the construction of the rules, that will be up to you." Luring the snake out of its hole. Who is the person hiding in the dark, "coercing" Qin Yu... I believe the answer will be revealed soon.
...
Outside the Enchanting House.
"Yu-didi has been inside for so long, nothing bad happened, right?" Ei murmured, her brows slightly furrowed. This simple cottage could actually block divine perception. It seemed to be a barrier jointly constructed by Yae Miko and Columbina.
"I didn't expect... they would actually unite." Ei, with her keen mind, instinctively sensed something was wrong. If they forced their way in, they would be quickly detected and alert the enemy.
"In my opinion, we should just go in." The Tsaritsa raised her chin, as forceful as ever. Even if they were on guard, could they stir up trouble in front of two gods?
"Are you sure? The aloof Tsaritsa dating Yu behind the backs of the Harbingers?" Ei's casual remark made the Tsaritsa halt. Then what should they do?
"Considering the time, it should be time for Ei to attend the banquet." Ei pondered, a faint smile appearing on her face. If so, why not disguise herself as her sister and go deep within to investigate.
"You alone?"
"If you're not at ease, our spiritual powers can connect briefly."
...
A knock on the door.
"Ei—you're finally here." Footsteps sounded, and the pink-haired fox lady opened the door.
"Mm, I'm here."
"Ei" held a paper umbrella, wearing a pale purple kimono, her soft purple hair cascading down, elegant and graceful. She asked softly, "Where is Yu?"
"He's been waiting for you for a long time, come quickly." Yae Miko pushed Ei into a room.
"Hurry and go in~" A surprise has been prepared for you inside.
