After bidding farewell to Sangonomiya Kokomi.
The group finally embarked on their journey back to Inazuma.
Along the way, Paimon looked back at Sangonomiya Kokomi, who was still waving, then looked at Yuuko and asked curiously:
"Qian, is that your friend too?"
"By the way, why are you shamelessly calling me by my name..." Yuuko complained helplessly:
"But just as you said, she's also my friend."
"Hmm..." Paimon showed a thoughtful expression: "You have so many friends!"
After speaking, Paimon floated around again, finally floating in front of Yuuko, giggling:
"Since you have so many friends, one more of me wouldn't hurt, hehe~"
Yuuko grabbed Paimon and tossed her onto his shoulder: "Think what you want."
Given the current situation, Yuuko still didn't intend to form too deep a relationship with Paimon.
After all, it was still uncertain where this fellow came from.
Or if she was an enemy.
Yuuko's answer made Paimon stomp her feet in the air angrily: "What a perfunctory answer!"
"Hehe, Little Qian's friend is very lively," Yae Miko said with a smile.
"No, this guy isn't my friend yet."
"Such a heartless fellow! I'm going to give you a nickname! I'll call you 'Heartless'!" Paimon stomped her little feet angrily again.
Yuuko rolled his eyes at her and ignored her.
At this moment, Kamisato Ayaka, who had been silent, suddenly leaned over and looked at Yuuko with a curious expression:
"Mr. Yuuko, it's about time you explained to us, why the sudden rush back to Inazuma, and why specifically at night?"
At these words, Yae Miko also stopped her mischievous smile and turned her gaze to Yuuko.
Yuuko, however, was not flustered in the slightest and immediately began to ramble:
"These past two days, I've visited many places on Watatsumi Island. I was originally looking for ingredients, but I encountered quite a few monsters..."
"There are too many monsters here... I feel it's quite dangerous to stay here, so I thought it would be better to return to Inazuma quickly."
"And to be honest, I'm starting to miss my little fox at home..."
At these words, Yae Miko's face unconsciously revealed a mischievous smile.
Kamisato Ayaka, on the other hand, cast a worried look:
"Then, Mr. Yuuko, are you alright?"
Yuuko shook his head: "I'm fine, I was very careful and tried my best to avoid those monsters, and... I always feel like someone is secretly protecting me."
Saying this, Yuuko deliberately put on a puzzled expression and looked at Yae Miko:
"Miko, do you have any clues about this?"
Yae Miko choked slightly, but her expression immediately returned to normal: "Cough cough, I'm not too sure about that."
After speaking, she forcibly changed the subject:
"Let's not talk about that for now, Little Qian, since you know there are monsters, don't always go out..."
Yuuko laughed awkwardly: "Hahaha, after all, I'm very interested in the ingredients here."
"You..." Yae Miko looked at Yuuko speechlessly, sighing slightly: "Forget it, as long as Little Qian is fine."
After that round of conversation, most of the doubts in Yae Miko's heart had dissipated.
After all, she had confirmed with Sayu beforehand.
Sayu also said that Yuuko was indeed exploring around Watatsumi Island today and encountered monsters.
There's no way Sayu would lie to her, right?
