Inside the house, Yuuko had just finished tidying up the dishes and was about to call Sayu out of the room for dinner.
He heard a series of crackling sounds from outside.
The commotion was quite loud.
"What's happening outside..." Feeling helpless, Yuuko decided to let Sayu stay on his bed for a bit longer.
Then he walked to the door of the house, opened it, and looked outside.
Just then, dazzling lightning flashed outside.
Yuuko shielded his eyes with his hand before he could clearly see what was going on.
It turned out that the Raiden Shogun had just drawn her naginata outside... and now, the Raiden Shogun was holding a pink fox.
It was the one Yuuko usually kept at home.
Its fur was a bit curly, as if it had enjoyed some electro-therapy.
Seeing this, Yuuko immediately understood the situation.
Yuuko's expression changed drastically, and he hurried over, saying:
"General! That's my little fox! That's my pet, not anything suspicious!"
The Raiden Shogun looked at the fox in her hand, a strange expression on her face:
"Your... pet?"
Yuuko quickly said, "Yes, don't hurt it by mistake."
After speaking, Yuuko took the little fox from the Raiden Shogun's hand and held it to his chest.
He only let out a slight sigh of relief after realizing that the little fox was fine, apart from its fur being a bit curly from the electricity.
At this moment, the Raiden Shogun still had a very strange expression on her face.
Now, a strange feeling always arose in the Raiden Shogun's heart, and the corners of her mouth would uncontrollably curl up.
But she didn't understand what kind of emotion it was, so she could only forcefully suppress it.
Because of this, the Raiden Shogun's expression seemed quite comical.
"Your expression is so strange... Is something wrong?" Yuuko asked.
The Raiden Shogun shook her head: "Nothing, I'm just marveling at how human relationships are far more complex than I imagined..."
After speaking, she sighed again:
"I originally thought I had a sufficient understanding of humans, but it seems today that my cultivation is still lacking."
The Raiden Shogun's face was filled with an expression of defeat.
Yuuko scratched his head, completely clueless about what the Raiden Shogun was blabbering about.
At this moment, the Raiden Shogun solemnly bowed her head to Yuuko again:
"My apologies, it was my oversight, I seem to have caused DMG to your... pet."
Yuuko sighed: "It's fine, it's partly my fault. If I hadn't forgotten about it, this misunderstanding wouldn't have happened."
"Is that so." The Raiden Shogun glanced at Yuuko, then at the little fox in his arms.
For a moment, she didn't know how to respond.
After that, the atmosphere became silent, and the Raiden Shogun also remained silent for a long time.
Only then did she helplessly shake her head and sigh:
"I heard that complex human social interactions are a great test of language ability. Although I usually don't speak much, I'm generally not stumped for words."
"Now it seems human social interactions are indeed very complex..."
"I still need to cultivate and understand more about human social relationships."
Hearing this, Yuuko laughed:
"Hahaha, it's fine, take your time. After all, everyone has slight social anxiety symptoms at first. Slowly but surely, it will get better."
As an experienced Transmigrator.
Yuuko also knew that the Raiden Shogun's symptoms were those of social anxiety arising from a person who had been isolated for a long time re-entering society.
Hearing this, the Raiden Shogun nodded thoughtfully: "I see, I've learned something new."
After speaking, she lowered her head again:
"Since that's the case, I won't bother you anymore. I'm truly sorry for accepting your help and then causing you trouble."
Yuuko smiled: "It's fine, it's getting late, you should head back early too."
The Raiden Shogun nodded, then took her books and slowly walked away.
Watching the Raiden Shogun depart, Yuuko let out a soft sigh, then reached out to stroke the little fox in his arms.
"Are you alright?"
The little fox turned its head away, seemingly in a huff.
"Hahaha, sorry, sorry, I should have noticed earlier. It's mainly because you haven't been home much lately, I completely forgot. But it's good that nothing serious happened. Oh, you must be hungry, right? I still have some food left, come in and eat."
The little fox was silent for a long time, finally letting out a helpless cry.
Although she was utterly vexed, she had been seen by Yuuko in this form, so what else could she do?
She couldn't possibly transform into her human form with a "pong" sound right in front of Yuuko, could she?
That would be too embarrassing; Yae Miko couldn't bear it.
Tonight's plan could only be put on hold for now.
"Are you still angry? How about this, tonight I'll give you a full body massage all night as an apology, how does that sound?"
Hearing this, the little fox let out another displeased cry, but still gave in.
What else could she do now?
She could only comply.
Besides, enjoying a night of massage wasn't really a loss.
After all, Yuuko's massage techniques were indeed impressive.
Every time Yae Miko enjoyed it, she would become completely immersed and unable to extricate herself.
Thinking this, Yae Miko's heart calmed down, and she no longer felt as vexed as before.
Forget it, the plan can be delayed a bit; tonight I'll just enjoy Yuuko's massage... the little fox sighed in her heart, then let out a cry.
Seeing that the little fox was no longer throwing a tantrum like before, Yuuko also laughed heartily.
"Then let's go, let's go in and eat first."
And so, Yuuko carried the little fox into the house.
The little fox lay on Yuuko's chest, her mind filled with countless thoughts.
Recalling all the things that happened today.
First, she discovered that the house had long been occupied by Raiden Ei and the Tsaritsa.
Then, she was blocked outside by the unreasonable Raiden Shogun's puppet and even subjected to an electric shock... Even now, a thousand Cocogoats still galloped through her heart... "Forget it, being able to enjoy Yuuko's massage for a whole night after so long, today wasn't entirely unlucky."
Thinking this, the little fox's expression also softened.
Afterward, she comfortably lay on Yuuko's chest, slowly awaiting the full body massage.
Are you kidding me! After encountering so many frustrating things today, how could her mood calm down without a good enjoyment afterward!
And looking at it another way, even though she was in the form of a little fox, she was still alone with Yuuko!
You see, recently, with the intervention of Sayu, Raiden Ei, and the Tsaritsa.
This led to a lot of things she had to deal with, often unable to return home at night.
Even the opportunities to interact with Yuuko in her little fox form had become very rare.
Now that she had finally returned to the previous state of being alone, just one person and one fox, it was actually not bad!
Anyway, as long as they could be alone!
However, just as the little fox settled down... she noticed Yuuko carrying her towards the room.
"Hmm? Didn't he say we were going to eat? Shouldn't we go directly to the living room? Why is Yuuko taking me to the room?"
The little fox felt very confused.
Then, Yuuko carried her to the door of the room and, pointing to the bulging part on the bed, said with a smile:
"Sayu, everyone's gone, you can come out for dinner."
Little fox: "???"
PS: A note on the follow-up to this book.
After I probably finish writing about the Irodori Festival, I'll go to Enkanomiya to write a relatively important main story arc.
After some daily life chapters, it will probably conclude.
As for The Chasm, I'm considering whether to write an arc about it (but there isn't much worth writing about in The Chasm, so I might not).
The main reason is that miHoYo has released too little information currently, so there isn't much to write about later.
If I keep writing daily life, it won't last long.
And the income is low. Don't let the steady and not-low numbers for urging updates and readership fool you.
But actually, on a site like Fanqie, without recommendations to bring in new readers, relying solely on old readers for continued reading basically generates very little income.
Old readers reading the book contribute very little to the author's earnings.
Unless everyone stops freeloading and is willing to spend some time watching videos (whispering...)
Also, to answer a question many of you are concerned about: when will the relationship between the protagonist and Yae Miko be exposed?
I can only say that once it's exposed, this book will end.
This is the ultimate theme of this book.
Perhaps my synopsis wasn't very clear, but the theme of this book has never changed.
Once their identities are exposed, it will be impossible to write interesting content later.
Conan hasn't been exposed in over a thousand episodes, how can I expose it so early?
If Conan were exposed, he probably wouldn't have made so many episodes.
Furthermore, the protagonist doesn't have much emotion for Yae Miko yet, still only at the level of gratitude; exposing it would be completely meaningless.
After all, Yae Miko is the true female lead! (Dog head for self-preservation.JPG)
Of course, the most important factor is that if it's exposed too early, this book won't be long, probably ending after just over a hundred thousand words.
This actually involves writing techniques, so I won't elaborate too much.
So please stop urging.
Hmm, that's all.
I'm truly sorry.
