The atmosphere in the living room was extremely awkward.

The brother and sister did not sit together, and there was no communication between them, making the atmosphere not only awkward but also a bit dull.

In fact, Ayato really wanted to talk, but after trying several times to find a topic but getting no response, he stopped talking.

Kamisato Ayaka deliberately sat on the other side of the living room to distance herself from her brother.

At this moment, she still couldn't accept the fact that the little fox was Yae Shenzi.

Strictly speaking, if you hug me, you hug me, and it’s not a serious matter.

Shenzi's fox form is really cute, and with her smooth and soft pale pink fur, people can't help but want to get close to her, just like the miko Emi.

But whenever Ayaka thinks about the various interactions with the little fox, and then thinks that the person she is holding in her arms is actually Yae Shenzi, she instinctively feels a little uncomfortable.

It's not that she hates the other person, it's just that she feels a little resistant to holding someone in her arms.

On the other side, seeing that his sister refused to communicate, Ayato turned to Emi and asked, "Where is Mr. Ouyang? Haven't you come out today?"

"No..." Emei shook her head in distress and continued, "Since we arrived, only the lady named Shen He hurriedly took us to visit the villa and informed us of our bedroom.

, and then returned to the villa on the second floor."

"Before I left, I said, 'Don't disturb me,' and I haven't seen anyone since."

After saying that, Emei asked in a low voice again: "Sir, Mr. Ouyang, doesn't he like our visit? Why don't we let Miss Kamisato go back?"

Ayato looked at Emi slightly in surprise, but he didn't get angry.

He said in a calm tone: "This was agreed before. Don't say similar things in the future. Just do your own thing."

"Yes!" She received almost the same answers from the brother and sister, which made her realize that she was indeed talking too much.

Generally speaking, when a guest comes to visit, it will naturally offend the host to be so negligent.

Emi is a shrine maiden worshiped by the society and is also responsible for the daily life of Miss Kamisato, so she doesn't have so many crooked thoughts.

I just feel that what Ouyang is doing now is almost insulting.

In any case, as the eldest lady of the society, she shouldn't be treated like this.

So she made this proposal twice out of loyalty.

This is why Ayato didn't blame her for saying "you're teaching me how to do things".

But Emei doesn't know the whole story.

The status of social ethics is indeed very high in Inazuma.

But in fact, it was Ayato who came to ask for cooperation.

Especially after today's regular meeting, Ouyang has already surpassed them in the upper circle of Daozhu.

The living room was quiet for a while. Just when Ayato decided to communicate with his sister first, the temperature in the living room suddenly dropped a few degrees.

The sudden situation was naturally noticed by Ayato and Ayaka, and they looked up at the same time.

I saw a translucent ghost-like humanoid spirit suddenly appeared in the sky above the living room.

"Ghost!

!”

Emi and Kawano Rina were also aware of it, but when they saw the spirit body, they were frightened out of their wits and ran away with their heads in their hands.

She doesn't have any of the professional qualities that a miko should have.

Ayato didn't care about them either. He was looking at the spirit body and thinking about which one of the Inazuma ghosts it was.

After floating down, the spirit placed a piece of paper on the table in the living room without saying a word, and then disappeared again.

Soon, except for the remaining traces of the lowered temperature in the living room, the presence of the spirit body was no longer noticeable.

Is this...Liyue's method?

Ayato looked towards the bedroom on the second floor with all his thoughts, then came to the table and picked up the paper.

"I'm sorry, but Ouyang is in retreat, and I need to accompany and protect him, so I can't receive you at the moment."

"Except for this master bedroom, you can do whatever you want with it."

"Feel sorry."

Retreat?

After reading the words on the paper, Ayato was quite surprised.

He really didn't expect that the person who looked at him so casually yesterday turned out to be so self-disciplined to improve his strength?

However, considering Ouyang's possible strength, seclusion seems very logical.

But after all, this is Ouyang's own private matter, and he is blameless.

So he said to Linghua, who had also read the text on the paper: "As you can see, since Ouyang is in retreat, let's go out to have a meal."

"It just so happens that I still need to explain things to you. There are too many things that happened today."

Ayaka looked at her brother strangely when she heard this, but she didn't lose her temper anymore and nodded obediently.

"Okay. Let's go."

The group of people left the villa.

In the master bedroom, Ouyang sat with his upper body exposed and cross-legged on the bed.

Shen He, who was protecting him, was also meditating.

Except for not much movement, everything looked like they were really in retreat seeking a breakthrough.

But in fact, it was delayed by a "phone call".

Time came last night.

Liyue, Dihuazhou, Wangshu Inn.

In the kitchen of Wangshu Inn, there is a small private room separated by a screen, which is used by the chef Yanxiao when he "starts a small stove" for others.

After a busy day, you can have a drink here to relieve your fatigue.

It's a relatively private place, a secret base.

But recently this place has been occupied by two people and one cat.

His secret base was occupied, but Yan Xiao was not angry. Instead, he was served delicious food and drinks.

The beginning of all this was a conversation between the shopkeeper Huaian and him when two people and a cat came to Wangshu Inn a few days ago.

"No matter what, no matter what the reason, no matter what difficulties, as long as that young man named Gui Chuanyu makes a request, you will satisfy him!"

"If you can solve it, solve it yourself. If you can't solve it, tell me and I will find a way to solve it."

"Do you understand?!"

Seeing the shopkeeper's solemnity, Yan Xiao was naturally very curious. He pointed at the small box of Mo La in Huai'an's hand and asked.

"Shopkeeper, this is a place I worked hard to build for my own use. Isn't it just Maura who gave me a big tip? It's not like this, right?"

"What do you know?" Huaian felt the weight of the box in his hand, looked at Yan Xiao with a bit of disgust, but immediately whispered seriously and mysteriously, "Anyway, you can do as I say, and you can forget about the rest.

.”

After saying that, seeing Yan Xiao's obviously unhappy look, Huaian added helplessly: "Don't mess around with me. I'll just remind you that the youngest child's surname is Gui!"

"I don't care whether his surname is Gui or Ma, anyway, I'm... uh... Gui?!"

Yanxiao, who was still not convinced, wanted to be tough, but he slowly came to his senses.

Your surname is expensive?!

Yan Xiao opened his eyes wide and looked at his shopkeeper in disbelief.

He already had a terrifying guess in his mind, so he looked at the shopkeeper to confirm it again.

Huai'an nodded mysteriously and said nothing.

hiss--

That child is actually a child of the Qixing noble family?!

Even if he still didn't believe it, Yan Xiao had to accept the fact after the shopkeeper nodded.

Therefore, two people and one cat occupied his place, and he did not dare to complain at all.

Not only that, but we are on call 24/7.

As long as the other party is in need, he will get up and prepare a table of meals even in the middle of the night and bring it to them.

The relationship between the senior and the junior should be master and apprentice, and they are quite easy to talk to.

The more annoying thing is the cat.

The taste is a bit picky, so you have to put some effort into serving it every time.

Fortunately, there are not many things that bother people. The two of them go out early and the cat comes home late, so they only bother him once or twice a day, which is not bad.
