Genshin Impact: One Hundred Confessions? Just a System Task

Ayaka Kamisato carried out her "motherly love completion plan" in such a meticulous way that it was even... suffocating.

"Yichen-kun~ It's time for your milk, isn't it? The temperature is just right, it was warmed by Linghua herself."

Ayaka Kamisato, holding an exquisite porcelain cup, with a gentle smile that could drown a person, squatted in front of the chibi-style Yichen, her voice sickeningly sweet.

His gaze made it seem as if Yi Chen had committed some heinous crime if he didn't drink the milk.

Yichen stared at the glass of milk, his little face scrunched up.

"...Ayaka, I've said it many times, I don't need..."

Before he could finish speaking, the straw was already gently pressed against his lips.

Ayaka's smile remained unchanged.

"Honey, drinking more milk will help you grow taller~ You need nutrition right now."

In the end, Yi Chen always succumbed to that gentle yet forceful gaze, taking small, resentful sips.

Ayaka would then show an expression of immense satisfaction and gently stroke his hair: "Good boy~"

Chapter 40 Ayaka's Mother

This is just the beginning.

When eating, the food is always cut into small, bite-sized pieces, and Ayaka will even test the temperature herself before feeding it to him.

When dressing him, we layered him up three times, as if we wanted to wrap him up like a little rice ball, afraid that he would catch a cold.

When walking, he had to hold her hand at all times, as if he would trip and fall if he left her sight.

At night, when he went to sleep, Ayaka even insisted on staying by his bedside, citing the reason that "a child would be scared to sleep alone."

Yi Chen felt that something was very wrong, even nine-tenths wrong.

He's an adult!

An adult who has experienced life-and-death struggles and led the reform movement!

Now, however, she is being "cared for" like a real baby!

Finally, when Linghua tried to put a cute bib embroidered with a little turtle on him, Yichen's patience reached its limit.

He suddenly jumped back, waving his short arms, trying to look imposing, and let out a mournful cry in his clear, childlike voice:

"Ayaka! Stop! I'm really not a real child! I don't need this! I'm an adult! An adult!"

However, this resistance was like a stone sinking into the sea.

Ayaka Kamisato simply tilted her head slightly, her smile remaining flawless, even carrying a hint of doting affection that said, "I really can't do anything with you."

She stepped forward, ignoring Yichen's insignificant struggles, and insisted on tying the cute bib around his neck, even carefully tying a pretty bow at the collar.

"Hey~hey~I know, I know, our Yichen is the most mature adult."

Her tone was like that of someone coaxing a sulking three-year-old—even though he did look three years old.

"But then,"

She reached out a finger and gently tapped Yichen's puffed-up nose, her eyes filled with a tenderness bordering on obsession.

"In Mom's... no, in Ayaka's eyes, you will always be a child who needs to be taken care of."

"Come on, open your mouth, ah~ freshly made cherry blossom cake, sweet but not cloying, you'll definitely like it."

"Wait, Ayaka, you just said something outrageous!"

Yichen's protests and struggles were inevitably drowned out by Ayaka Kamisato's vast, impenetrable, and utterly irresistible "motherly love."

He was like a little insect caught in a gentle spider web; the more he struggled, the tighter he was entangled.

However, looking at Yichen, who, despite his aggrieved expression, ultimately obediently allowed her to feed him, dress him up, and lead him for a walk in the courtyard, Ayaka Kamisato felt an immense sense of satisfaction and peace.

The effect is remarkable.

At least, he will never again have the time or energy to go to Narukami Shrine to make some kind of "pathological confession" to that dangerous priest.

In his world now, there is only her meticulous care.

Ayaka Kamisato was very satisfied with this plan.

As for Yichen's insignificant "adult" protest?

Yes, that must be one of the symptoms of the illness, and you need more love and comfort.

About three days later, the chief priest of Narukami Shrine, Yae no Miko, walked out of her quiet and elegant palace with a displeased expression.

Her wide, ornate sleeves were bulging with all sorts of newly made, meticulously crafted amulets, each with different uses.

There were items for calming the mind, warding off evil spirits, and even a few experimental little gadgets with a faintly alluring quality.

These are all works she created on a whim these past few days.

However, these exquisite creations did not bring their owners any joy at this moment.

Yae no Miko narrowed her alluring fox eyes slightly, her gaze sweeping over the empty shrine courtyard before looking down towards Inazuma Castle. Her red lips curled into an extremely displeased smile.

What on earth did that brat go off to do?

That day we clearly agreed that "you have to come to the shrine to report to me once a day from now on, this is a privilege for girlfriends~".

She even "mercifully" gave her a token of their love (although she secretly added a little magic to the amulet that allowed her to sense the wearer's general condition).

And the result? A full three days!

We haven't seen a single person!

She painstakingly prepared so many new toys... uh, new amulets, intending to see his amusing yet shy expression when he was being teased. How could he be so heartless?

Never even once?

Could it be that the topic of "taking responsibility" and "marrying" last time scared him away?

That kid seems pretty oblivious.

Or...did you run into some trouble?

Through the faint senses from the protective charm, that guy seemed to be very lively and energetic, with a stable aura, even... a little too calm?

Yae no Miko let out a soft, enigmatic laugh, her fingertips unconsciously stroking an amulet embroidered with a fox claw mark, while her eyes gradually turned dangerous.

"My disobedient boyfriend... It seems he forgot that foxes hold grudges and really, really hate being stood up."

She had seriously considered taking this "playing house" a little more seriously, but the male lead ran away?

Where does this leave her, the dignified priestess of Narukami Taisha Shrine, with her dignity?

This is even more outrageous than the most clichéd light novel plot!

"That's all,"

Yae no Miko sighed helplessly and stuffed the protective charms in her sleeves even deeper.

"Since the mountain won't come to me, then I'll go to the mountain."

She wanted to see for herself what earth-shattering matter could make that Yi Chen completely forget her "daily meeting" as an eighth-level divine son!

If I really dare to forget...

Yae no Miko's lips curled into a chilling smile.

She wouldn't mind giving him a good reminder about the "sweet" consequences of breaking a promise with a fox, especially one that's starting to get a little serious.

Having made up her mind, she no longer hesitated. Swaying gracefully, she walked down the mountain as if enjoying a spring outing. Her steps seemed slow, but in reality, they were extremely fast. In the blink of an eye, she disappeared outside the torii gate of the shrine.

The air was filled with only a faint fragrance, a blend of cherry blossoms and a hint of danger.

Chapter 41 What kind of play is this?

Following the extremely faint sensation on the protective charm, Yae no Miko searched all the way to the Kamisato Mansion.

She didn't announce her arrival; instead, she silently crossed the high wall like a gentle breeze and landed on a cherry tree in a corner of the courtyard, intending to see what that ungrateful little rascal was up to.

However, the scene before her left this well-informed priestess of Narukami Shrine somewhat bewildered.

In the courtyard, a black-haired boy who looked about seven or eight years old was being chased all over the place by a woman named Ayaka Kamisato, who was holding a rice ball and had a smile that was almost eerily gentle.

The boy's features vaguely resembled Yi Chen's, only smaller.

Yae no Miko knew that this kid could grow back after being struck by lightning and turned to dust, so it wasn't too surprising.

What she truly hadn't expected was—why would the White Heron Princess of the Kamisato family, known for her dignified elegance and graceful demeanor, become like this before her… uh… radiating an excessively strong maternal glow, even bordering on obsessive?!

"Yichen-jun~ Don't run away~ Just one more bite, just a tiny bite~"

Ayaka Kamisato's voice was so sweet it could kill you. Holding up a rice ball almost bigger than Yichen's face, she pressed closer step by step.

"You're in a crucial period of growth, so you need to make sure you get enough nutrition!"

"No! I really can't eat anymore! Ayaka, please let me go!"

Xiao Hao Yichen's voice was filled with obvious despair as he desperately tried to widen the distance with his short legs.

Yae no Miko's fox-like eyes narrowed slightly as her gaze swept back and forth between Yi Chen and Kamisato Ayaka several times.

An absurd yet seemingly the only reasonable explanation suddenly popped into her mind.

...Could this be some new Play that's all the rage in the Inazuma City aristocratic circles, something she's never even heard of before?

Master and servant? No, that's not right.

Yae no Miko was somewhat shocked. Even though she had read extensively (especially various strange and wonderful light novels), she couldn't understand the unimaginable scene in front of her for a moment.

When did this kind of taste become popular in Inazuma's aristocratic circle?

So Ayaka Kamisato had this little-known fetish?

Just as Yae no Miko was lost in deep shock and thought, Yi Chen, who was busy running around, caught a glimpse of a familiar, gorgeous pink figure on the cherry tree out of the corner of his eye!

It’s the Eightfold God Son!

In his despair, he seemed to see a savior!

Forgetting all past grievances, Yi Chen made a sharp turn, bursting forth with unprecedented speed, and like a frightened little beast, he rushed towards the cherry tree, grabbed Yae Miko's dangling leg, hid behind her, and cried out for help in a childish voice trembling with tears:

"Save me! Yae no Miko!"

Yae Shenzi: "???"

She looked down at Xiao Hao Yichen, who was clinging tightly to her leg and trembling with fear, then looked up at Shen Li Linghua, who had stopped abruptly because her target had suddenly found a "backer," and whose gentle smile had frozen instantly.

The atmosphere suddenly became extremely strange.

Ayaka Kamisato was completely unprepared for Yae no Miko to suddenly appear here.

Her perfect smile froze for a moment.

Why is she here?

This is a crucial period for Yichenjun's "motherly love restoration" treatment!

Absolutely must not be interrupted!

Ayaka Kamisato quickly composed herself, hiding the giant rice ball behind her back, as if she wasn't the one who had just chased after Yichen with the rice ball in her hand.

She resumed the elegant demeanor of Princess Egret, nodding slightly, but her face carried a subtle hint of aloofness and a desire to dismiss her:

"So it is Lord Gongsi who has graced us with his presence. I apologize for not being able to greet you properly. May I ask what brings you here today, Lord Gongsi?"

Her gaze swept over Yi Chen, who was hiding tightly behind Yae no Miko, with only half his head showing and his eyes frantically pleading for help.

"As you can see, Yichen is currently in a very important 'rest and recovery' phase, requiring absolute rest and... meticulous care. I'm afraid it's inconvenient for him to entertain guests."

Looking at the two completely different faces before her, and feeling the "cub" hanging on her lap, its fur almost standing on end in fright, the fox's mind worked, and she finally roughly understood what was going on.

Her face instantly lit up with that usual languid yet dangerous bright smile again. She gently patted Yichen's head as if soothing a frightened pet, but her gaze was meaningful as she looked at Ayaka Kamisato.

"Oh dear~ I was wondering why my boyfriend hasn't come to the shrine to see me for three days in a row~"

"So it was because Miss Ayaka was 'taking such good care' that you couldn't get away?"

She drew out her words, her gaze subtly shifting between Ayaka Kamisato and Yichen on her lap.

"This way of 'taking care' has really opened my eyes!"
