"Hey buddy, guess who I just saw at Narukami Shrine?"

"Columbia and Yae no Miko".

"what?"

D'Artagnan's enthusiasm was suddenly extinguished by a single sentence.

"Hey buddy, are you... are you clairvoyant? Or were you there but got shot down by those two?"

"..."

Is it possible that after I've been beaten by those two, I might not be able to stand here and talk to you properly?

"I just found out too, oh well, there's nothing I can do about it."

Qin Ye gave a wry smile: "The best option now is..."

"I understand, buddy! I'll protect you. Let's go up the mountain. I might not be able to win a fight, but I can definitely break it up!"

"...Tell me, what's our record in our sparring match?"

Dadalia blurted out: "It's 1368 games, 27 wins, 71 draws, and 1270 losses!"

He was clearly very proud of his memory.

"Those wins were back when we first met, and you even used that crappy weapon in the end. I didn't dare go, so why did you dare..."

"partner!"

The young master, somewhat indignant, said, "But you are now..."

Looking around to make sure no one else was around, he lowered his voice and said, "You now have two God Eyes and one Evil Eye. The Empress herself said that if you go all out, you can be in the top five. Are you afraid of her being only in the third seat?"

Five is greater than three, which is reasonable.

but...

Qin Ye had calmed down and finished thinking.

"When did I tell you I was afraid of Columbia? I'm afraid of dying, I'm going back to eat noodles."

The young master frowned, feeling that such indifference was not in the character of a partner; no matter what obstacles lay ahead, they should never abandon or give up.

He tried to continue persuading him.

"Didn't I tell you that the Evil Eye has the Queen's protection and has no side effects?"

Qin Ye smiled at him.

“That’s easy. I’ll give you the Evil Eye, and you can go up and mediate the fight. I’ll cheer you on. But let me give you a piece of advice: if you don’t see Columbia but instead see General Thunder, don’t say you’re the executor, and don’t expose me either. I’ll arrange the highest-level, most prominent seat for you at the banquet.”

"Hey buddy, how's the noodles?"

"Come and have a taste."

"okay!"

At the top of the mountain

A pink tail appeared and disappeared in the mist as Yae no Miko appeared beneath the torii gate.

"Oh dear~ I didn't expect to really anger the little girl."

However...

She dusted herself off and was basically unharmed.

If this level of strength isn't that of an executive officer, then the people of Zhidong have really poor judgment.

Was it a backup plan left by Qin Ye?

There's no need to worry about her doing anything reckless...

After all, that "maid" must have held back against me.

When the smoke and dust cleared, that petite and lovely figure was no longer there.

Keen senses, able to see the big picture, understand the overall situation, and know when to advance and retreat...

The most important thing is to care about Qin Ye...

In other words, he listens to him very much.

Then there's no need to worry about her suddenly doing something outrageous.

Moreover, that kid probably also vaguely guessed that Inazuma had other forces stirring up trouble.

They took advantage of the girl's moment to catch the mastermind off guard.

She gazed at the flattened mountaintop, a smile playing on her lips.

These days, I shouldn't be disturbed from my sleep anymore. After all, such a battle has already taken place, and even the most audacious person behind the scenes would have to think twice before acting.

The most important thing now is...

A bolt of lightning flashed and arrived.

"Yae no Miko, what happened here?"

The fox composed himself, put on a business-like smile, and spoke with a hint of grievance in his voice.

"Oh my, isn't this General? What brings you here today to visit this forgotten palace attendant?"

"I'm asking you a question."

Yae no Miko narrowed her eyes.

"I want to know, did she tell you to talk to me like that?"

The two began to clash.

The goddess suddenly covered her mouth and chuckled: "Oh dear~ Don't always wear that face, your rare cute appearance has become terrifying."

Seeing that the other person was frowning and silent, her interest suddenly vanished, and she sighed.

"I encountered some annoying little bugs, fought them, and ended up like this. As for who my opponent was..."

The divine child appeared beside the general in a flash, a strange smile on his face: "Why don't you ask those people who secretly gave you advice? And while you're at it, warn them not to bother me, how about that?"

"Humph..."

The general turned his back: "I will naturally investigate this matter thoroughly, but if I find that you have become an eternal obstacle... even you..."

"You don't need to worry about that. She wouldn't have the heart to kill a naive, cute, hardworking, and dutiful little fox like me."

"Humph."

As the lightning disappeared into the distance towards Inazuma Castle, the divine child silently breathed a sigh of relief.

But her gaze grew increasingly fierce.

It doesn't matter that you deceived her, because Inazuma still has me.

As long as I am here, I will never let Ying fall into a more painful situation again.

But if you want to hide, you'd better stay in the dark, know your place as mice, and never, ever let me find a trace of you...

otherwise...

I will show you what cruelty is.

Society magistrate

partner!

The young master gritted his teeth and waved his fists in the air.

He looked at Columbia, who was lying on Qin Ye's lap, and felt a surge of anger.

I can tolerate causing trouble for my partner, but why are you making him so worried too?

The bowl of noodles was pushed in front of the young master.

"It's okay, let's have some noodles."

Although D'Artagnan couldn't see the girl's eyes, he could clearly sense it from the slight tilt of her head...

How awful! She's showing off!

"Won't you blame me?" A slightly worried voice drifted out.

Qin Ye shook his head: "Don't worry, if you really did something wrong, given Yae no Miko's personality, she would have come to me for compensation long ago. Besides, she left in a hurry after the conversation that day, so the shrine must have had something that kept her busy. Maybe you even helped her."

"No overnight stay?"

"Overnight stay?" Tatiana, who was standing respectfully to the side, turned her head and looked over.

"What overnight stay? With Yae no Miko? Come on, I haven't lived enough yet..."

Qin Ye frowned.

Where did this brand new version come from?

"That's good."

"Phew... I'm alright."

"...Ahem, in short, what I want is to tie her to the same warship as me, so that she can't leave me, and then my goal will be completely achieved."

"It's us."

Columbia reminded her softly.

"Yes, they can't leave us..."

Qin Ye reacted for a moment and blinked.

Is there any difference?

"..."

Dude, you're usually so smart, but when it comes to this kind of thing, you're such a blockhead.

The young master picked up the bowl of noodles with great satisfaction and slurped down a large mouthful.
