Originally, Yae Miko, that scum woman, had a mischievous smile on her face.
But upon hearing that Raiden Ei wanted to visit Yuuko, her smile immediately froze.
However, Yae Miko quickly recovered, maintaining her mischievous smile and began to cover up:
"Hehe~ He's just a best-selling author under my Yae Publishing House. Ei, where did you hear that I'm very close to him?"
One can only say that she truly lives up to her reputation as an experienced scum woman, able to cover up without a blush or a racing heart in such a situation.
Raiden Ei stared directly at Yae Miko for a while before saying:
"Is that so? Why do I hear that you, Miko, always allocate the Yae Publishing House's biggest resources to him?"
Yae Miko chuckled, unfazed: "He's an excellent author under my wing, of course resources will be used to cultivate him."
Raiden Ei continued to eye Yae Miko with suspicion.
After a moment, she finally looked away and said, "In any case, from now on, I should also face the changes in Inazuma directly."
"Hehe, it seems Yellow Fox has truly changed you a lot, Ei." Yae Miko covered her mouth with a smile, then nonchalantly changed the subject:
"So, Ei, what kind of person do you think Yellow Fox is after that battle with him?"
Raiden Ei pondered for a long time before replying:
"Yellow Fox... is a very peculiar person, and... he's very similar to Makoto..."
Hearing this, Yae Miko's face once again showed a mischievous smile:
"Oh? To be able to pique your interest, Ei, it seems Yellow Fox is quite capable~"
"But indeed, a figure like Yellow Fox, both mysterious and powerful, it's normal for you, Ei, to be interested."
Currently, Yae Miko was subtly trying to shift Raiden Ei's attention to Yellow Fox.
Her goal was to prevent Raiden Ei from contacting Yuuko.
Yae Miko didn't want other women surrounding Yuuko... especially someone of Raiden Ei's caliber. She didn't think she had a hundred percent chance of winning... Raiden Ei just sighed softly:
"Yes... if it weren't for Yellow Fox, perhaps I would have stubbornly continued to defy the wishes of the people, all the way to the end."
"Hehe~ Have you seen Yellow Fox since then, Ei?"
Raiden Ei shook her head: "I haven't seen him since that battle."
After speaking, Raiden Ei seemed to recall something and looked at Yae Miko in surprise:
"Miko, your tone... do you know Yellow Fox's current whereabouts?"
Yae Miko showed a sly smile: "Does Ei want to know~"
Raiden Ei was silent for a moment, then finally nodded.
Yae Miko immediately spread her hands: "Sorry, I don't know either~"
Raiden Ei was stunned for a moment, then glared at Yae Miko. For some reason, she had an urge to hit Yae Miko with a slipper... "Ahem, I can't help it. After all, Yellow Fox is so mysterious, how could I possibly track him down~"
Yae Miko said with a smile:
"I originally thought of giving him the Gnosis to investigate his background, but it turns out it's impossible~"
Hearing this, Raiden Ei was silent for a long time before saying:
"Miko, don't investigate Yellow Fox on your own like that in the future. It will displease him."
"Hehe~ I was just trying it out, don't worry." Yae Miko began to smile charmingly: "I'll dare to do it again in the future~"
Raiden Ei gave the scum woman a helpless look and said nothing more.
Having spent quite some time together, Raiden Ei knew that Yae Miko was just that much of a scum.
It was a case of old habits dying hard, so she didn't bother to lecture her.
At this moment, Yae Miko smiled again:
"Well then, I have things to attend to, so I won't bother you, Ei~"
With that, Yae Miko swayed her hips and strolled out of Tenshukaku.
Leaving Tenshukaku, she arrived at the cliff edge outside Tenshukaku.
Yae Miko gazed at the clear, unobstructed sky and sighed:
"I've completely lost my connection with the Gnosis. I originally wanted to rely on the Gnosis to investigate Yellow Fox, but it seems I underestimated him."
Yae Miko had originally intended to secretly investigate the mysterious Yellow Fox using the Gnosis.
However, she found that ever since the Gnosis fell into Yellow Fox's hands, she had completely lost all connection to it.
The safeguard she had secretly left on the Gnosis had also been erased.
Now, she could only give up.
Afterward, Yae Miko stretched lazily again, a smile gracing her face:
"Well! Since the troublesome matters are all resolved, I won't think about them anymore!"
"It's been a long time since I've replenished my Yuuko energy!"
"Now it's time for a good replenishment!"
Thinking this, Yae Miko headed towards the streets below, preparing to go home for a long-awaited visit and snuggle up.
Yae Miko had endured for a long time for this day!
She was determined to go home and enjoy herself today!
"Huhu, I wonder if Yuuko misses me~"
...On the other side, Yuuko was currently cooking at home.
As for ingredients, it was the usual: vegetables, meat, eggs, to make a simple egg fried rice.
And Yuuko was not the only one at home.
Sayu was also in the living room, waiting obediently.
As Sayu waited, she already smelled the aroma wafting from the kitchen.
"Mmm... the dishes Master Yuuko makes... are truly fragrant..."
Sayu began to swallow, her originally sleepy eyes suddenly becoming alert.
All her sleepiness was gone.
After a while, Yuuko finally emerged from the kitchen, carrying two plates, and came to the living room.
"Sayu, thanks for waiting, the food is ready." Yuuko placed the two plates of fried rice on the table and said with a smile:
"It's really more familiar to use the kitchen at home. So eat it while it's hot, Sayu."
Sayu nodded, a faint light flickering in her dull grey-red eyes.
She picked up a spoon, scooped a small spoonful of fried rice, then gently blew on it twice.
Then slowly put the fried rice into her tiny mouth, chewing slowly.
After finishing one spoonful, Sayu still wanted more, so she scooped another spoonful and slowly savored it.
As she ate, many grains of rice stuck to Sayu's face.
Seeing this, Yuuko was quite helpless: "Sayu, you have a lot of rice grains on your face."
With that, Yuuko reached out, removed the rice grains stuck to Sayu's face, and put them into his mouth.
Afterward, he picked up a towel from the side and wiped Sayu's mouth.
Sayu didn't resist this at all, allowing Yuuko to wipe her small face.
