When Ayaka Kamisato heard Yae no Miko's words, which were clearly teasing and questioning, her cheeks flushed slightly, and she instinctively wanted to explain.

No…it's not what you think…I was helping him…

Yichen-jun... he's sick!

He needs this kind of care!

However, she swallowed the words back down her throat.

How could she possibly say that?

Should she speak to the priest and the shogun's family at Narukami Shrine?

"I'm sorry, but Yichen suffers from a strange condition that's hard to talk about, which causes him to randomly confess his feelings to powerful women. I'm using maternal love therapy to help him complete his condition."

This is even more painful than killing her!

This would not only completely expose Yichenjun's privacy and weaknesses, but also make her "meticulous treatment" seem extremely strange and shameful.

Besides, she was clearly... clearly taking very good care of him!

She consulted numerous psychology classics and carefully analyzed the information Thomas had painstakingly gathered before finally concluding that "lack of love" was the most likely cause of the illness.

She set aside her pride and elegance as the White Egret Princess, personally taking care of his daily needs in every detail, giving him meticulous care, and trying to make up for the warmth he lacked in his childhood...

Everything she did was for his own good!

This is the only way to truly "cure" him!

Why... why can't Yichen understand her good intentions?

Why did you show such a fearful and resistant expression?

He even sought help from the most dangerous Yae no Kōji, who only knew how to tease him.

An indescribable sense of grievance and a faint sadness welled up in Ayaka Kamisato's heart.

However, she could not back down.

This is for Yichenjun's own good.

Ayaka Kamisato straightened her back and met Yae no Miko's probing gaze again. Her smile remained gentle, but it carried an almost stubborn determination.

She selectively ignored Yae no Miko's use of the term "boyfriend-kun," as if she hadn't heard it at all.

"Lord Kyoto is joking."

"Yichen-jun was injured in the previous battle and his vitality was greatly depleted. Now is the time for him to recuperate. Linghua is just doing her best to take care of him as a friend and ensure that he can recover as soon as possible."

She turned slightly to look at Yi Chen, who was hiding behind the Eightfold Divine Child, her tone softening, carrying a coaxing tone, yet also containing a subtle hint of firmness:

"Yichen, don't be stubborn, come here quickly. You haven't finished your lunch yet, it won't be good if it gets cold. After you finish eating, you still need to take your medicine on time."

As she spoke, she took out that daunting rice ball from behind her back and handed it to Yichen.

Yi Chen stared at the rice ball, his face turning deathly pale. He tightened his grip on Yae no Miko's leg and shook his head frantically.

"I don't want to! I really can't eat anymore! Yae no Miko, you have to tell her!"

Yae no Miko looked at Kamisato Ayaka's earnest "I'm doing this for your own good" expression, and then felt the deep fear in the little guy on her lap.

Oh dear, oh dear... so that's how it is...

It seems that some kind of huge cognitive bias led to this ridiculous "care".

Her smile grew even brighter and more alluring. She reached out and gently ruffled Yi Chen's hair, her voice cloyingly sweet:

"Oh dear, it seems my boyfriend is receiving some extraordinary 'special treatment' here~"

"But..."

She abruptly changed the subject, her gaze lightly landing on the rice ball in Ayaka Kamisato's hand.

"Force-feeding isn't a good habit, Miss Ayaka~ Boys are cuter when they're lively and can find their own food when they're a little hungry, don't you think?"
