Yi Chen suddenly opened his eyes, wondering if he was hallucinating.

Suddenly, Yae no Miko was standing very close, her face beaming with smiles, calling out in an cloyingly sweet voice:

"Dear~"

Yi Chen: "!!!"

Are you kidding me? !

She agreed?!

Is it that simple?!

How can this be? !

Just as Yi Chen's brain completely shut down and he was utterly unable to comprehend the situation before him, Yae no Miko extended a slender finger and gently touched the location of his heart on his chest.

The icy touch on his fingertips seeped through the fabric, making Yi Chen shudder.

Yae no Miko tilted her head slightly, her face still bearing that captivating smile, but a dangerous glint flashed deep within her eyes.

"What's wrong, darling?"

"The way you look... you didn't just confess your feelings successfully, and you're already planning to... abandon me after taking advantage of me?"

Her voice was soft and seductive, but the subtle pressure from her fingertips and the "you're dead if you dare to say it" look in her eyes sent chills down Yi Chen's spine!

Is this woman serious?!

Or are they playing some scary game again?!

Yi Chen froze on the spot, cold sweat instantly pouring down his face.

My first confession... seems to have been a complete disaster?

And the direction is completely out of control!

Chapter 30 Whose Carnivorous Daughter Is She?

And what's more, starting something and then abandoning it?!

It's unacceptable for a young virgin to be accused of seducing and abandoning someone!

Looking at the Eightfold Divine Child so close to him, Yi Chen could clearly see his own dumbfounded and helpless state reflected in those smiling fox eyes.

"No, it wasn't me..."

Yi Chen tried to explain, but his tongue seemed to be tied in knots, and his usual imposing manner vanished without a trace in front of the smiling woman in front of him.

"...I didn't...mean that...it's just...how could you...have agreed to that?!"

This is completely unpredictable!

Yae no Miko raised her eyebrows even higher, and tightened her fingertips slightly, as if trying to probe into his heart.

"You just said so loudly that you like me, and now you're asking me why I agreed to it?"

"Honey, you wouldn't... really just be toying with my feelings, would you?"

Her tone grew increasingly aggrieved, and her eyes even reddened slightly, as if she were about to burst into tears at any moment, perfectly embodying the image of a vulnerable woman whose feelings had been betrayed by a heartless man.

Yi Chen felt like he was suffocating.

"I'm not! I didn't! Stop talking nonsense!"

Yi Chen hurriedly denied it three times, breaking out in a cold sweat.

"I am...I am..."

He can't exactly say, "I only came to fool you to complete a system task and get a reward, can he?"

"Just what?"

The Eightfold Divine Child pressed closer, leaning forward slightly, until Yi Chen could even count her slightly trembling eyelashes.

The faint, wonderfully sweet aroma, like a blend of cherry blossoms and fried tofu, lingered more clearly around his nose, making his heart race and his head spin.

Yi Chen's face turned bright red as he held back his anger. Finally, in a moment of despair, he closed his eyes and practically roared out the words.

"I never expected you, Lord Chief, to agree so readily! I... I'm flattered! Yes! Flattered!"

Seeing his extremely embarrassed appearance, with even the tips of his ears turning bright red, Yae no Miko finally couldn't help but burst out laughing.

The laughter was as melodious as silver bells, yet it carried a mocking tone that made Yi Chen feel utterly ashamed.

She finally withdrew her finger from his chest, and instead used her cool, delicate fingertips to gently stroke Yi Chen's burning cheek, the gesture ambiguous yet carrying a certain scrutinizing meaning.

"Hehehe... So that's what you're worried about?"

Yae Shenzi laughed so hard that his branches trembled,

"Don't worry, my dear~ I have very high standards. There are only a handful of men in hundreds of years who can catch my eye, right?"

You... well, you're a bit slow, a bit straightforward, and sometimes you like to do stupid things...

Her fingertips rested on Yichen's chin, gently lifting his face and forcing him to look into her unfathomable purple eyes.

"...But considering you're reasonably good-looking, quite brave, and have risked your life for the people of Inazuma...I'll reluctantly accept your kindness~"

Yi Chen: "..."

He felt like a rabbit that had fallen into a fox's den, and everything had been arranged for him.

Yae no Miko leaned close to his ear and whispered, her warm breath spraying onto his earlobe, bringing a fatal tingling sensation.

"From now on, you're mine, okay? Darling~?"

Looking at the smiling Yae no Miko, who was so close yet whose eyes held endless danger, and hearing her declaration, "You are mine now," Yi Chen felt as if his CPU had completely overloaded and burned out!

This isn't right! This development is completely wrong!

Almost instinctively, he looked at Yae no Miko with a panicked expression, as if he were about to cry, attempting a final struggle:

"Wait, wait! Yae... Yae no Miyaji! Um... what you just said... could you... take it back? Just pretend I didn't say it! Okay?"

All he wants now is to immediately, right now, erase that embarrassing history from his past!

I don't need any rewards!

Goodbye to Senbonzakura!

Preserving my life and clearing my name are more important!

However, in the face of his "withdrawal" application, Yae no Miko's smile became even more radiant and charming, yet also more dangerous.

She reached out her finger and gently, yet irresistibly, pressed it against Yichen's lips, which were still trying to explain, stopping him from saying more.

The cool touch on his fingertips and the soft pressure on his lips silenced Yi Chen instantly, his body stiffening, leaving him only able to stare wide-eyed at the magnified, beautiful face before him.

Yae no Miko leaned forward slightly, her red lips almost touching his ear, and whispered, in a sweet, sickeningly soft voice, each word deliberate:

"No, wait a minute, darling~"

"You've got the wrong address."

Her breath was warm, carrying a faint fragrance, which tickled Yichen's sensitive earlobe.

"Call me... Divine Child~"

She dragged out the last syllable long and seductively, as if it had a tiny hook, scratching hard at Yi Chen's heart.

Yi Chen: "!!!"

His face instantly turned bright red, as if it could bleed! His heart was pounding so hard it felt like it would burst out of his chest!

Recall failed!

Not only did they fail, but they were also forced to upgrade their intimate nicknames?!

This is a complete disaster! There's no way to clear my name now!

Seeing Yi Chen's completely petrified, blushing face, and adorable appearance as if struck by lightning, Yae no Miko finally withdrew her finger with satisfaction and chuckled softly, like a little fox who had stolen a bite of fried tofu.

"Okay, I'm very satisfied with my first confession, darling~"

She waved her hand, lay back down in her recliner, picked up her novel, and acted as if nothing had happened.

Looking forward to your next performance!

Yi Chen felt as if he had been granted a pardon, yet also as if he had lost his soul. He stumbled and fumbled as he fled Narukami Shrine, those two words echoing repeatedly in his mind—

Oh no... I'm really caught in the clutches of that dreadful fox now...

Chapter 31 Are you at home?

Yichen practically floated back to the Kamisato House, completely disoriented, with a lingering blush and a profound sense of bewilderment on his face.

He threw himself onto a cushion in the room, put his hands behind his head, and looked restless and questioning his existence.

Divine Child… My Dear…

Oh no, oh no, oh no... I'm completely entangled with that fox now...

She definitely did it on purpose! She's absolutely messing with me!

But... she seemed a little serious at the time?

No, no! That was definitely acting! It was a fox's trap!

It felt like two little people were fighting in Yi Chen's brain. One was screaming "Run!" while the other was furiously lamenting, "But Senbonzakura is so cool!"

Just as he was about to explode from agonizing indecision, that familiar, annoyingly sweet electronic girl voice cheerfully echoed in his mind once again:

[Ding-dong~ Congratulations, host, on successfully completing your first confession mission! (Applause and confetti~)]

Yi Chen: "..."

He can't be happy at all right now.

[Oh dear, Host seems quite troubled.]

[Were you taken aback by Yae no Miko's enthusiasm?]

"That's not enthusiasm at all! That's a blatant threat!"

She actually made me call her 'Goddess'! And 'Darling' too! I can't do this mission anymore!"

【Hey~ why can't I do it anymore?】

The system began to subtly persuade (and fan the flames).

[Host, look, wasn't the first confession a great success? Not only did Yae no Miko agree, but she also took the initiative to upgrade the intimate nickname!]

What does this mean? It means you have boundless charm, host! Even that unfathomable High Priest has been captivated by you!

Yi Chen: "Captured my ass! She's treating me like a new toy! I feel like I'm about to be torn apart and devoured!"

【Relax, relax~】

[Host, you should try to think positively~]

Think about the reward!

【Senbonzakura, oh~ Scatter, Senbonzakura~ How cool! How powerful!】

From now on, you won't have to lift a finger when fighting; the blades will automatically fly out and chop people down. How convenient! How cool!

Isn't it a good deal to sacrifice a little bit of 'appearance' and 'dignity' for such a cool weapon?

Yi Chen: "Is this just a little bit?! The price is way too high!"

Furthermore~

[Host, don't you think it's kind of exciting to be toyed with by a beautiful but dangerous older sister every now and then...?]

Yi Chen: "???"

What kind of outrageous and inappropriate talk is this lousy system spouting?!

So, well~

[For the sake of a cool weapon, for the sake of a man's dignity (?), host, you should forge ahead! So what if you confess twice more? It'll be over in the blink of an eye!]

[Go for it, Host! I believe in you! The worst that can happen is you get teased a few more times! You won't lose anything! ( ̄ ̄?)]
