"My brother and I came here immediately after we heard you were sick."

Kamisato Ayaka sat on a chair beside the girl's bed, opening a beautiful food box:

"I made some cakes, please try them."

"I'm sorry to have worried you," the girl took the red cherry cake handed to her by Ayaka, and turned her gaze to Ayato standing beside her, "The head of the family who is the magistrate of the community is here too, and I thought you would be very busy."

The girl's tone was formal and a little distant. Kamisato Ayato frowned slightly, but it did not affect his usual gentle expression:

"After all, you are a colleague I value. If you were sick, my work would be very troubled."

Kamisato Ayato put the bag in his hand on the bedside table:

"That store's new product, the Sumire spice flavor, maybe you'd like it."

what……

The girl was not averse to trying new things—it was just that this was a little too new, and she had never tried spices before, of course...

I haven't tried spice flavored milk tea either.

"……Thanks?"

"Well," Kamisato Ayato nodded with a smile, "You're welcome."

Ah, I pretended not to notice the reluctance in the girl's voice.

Kamisato Ayaka looked at Ayato, then at the girl, looking helpless, but in fact she was secretly delighted.

"My brother made a special detour to buy it before he came here. The taste is really unique."

what.

Does this mean it doesn't taste good?

"I heard that your lover is in Inazuma recently," Kamisato Ayato looked around, "Why doesn't he accompany you at a time like this?"

Ayato's words made the girl subconsciously feel that something was wrong, but in this regard, she has never been a person who would delve too deeply into it, so she just shook her head:

"He comes here quite often, but he has his own things to do when he comes to Inazuma, and he can't let me delay him."

"Oh, is it so."

Kamisato Ayato's tone was somewhat nonchalant, as if it was just the most common greeting that didn't need to be taken seriously. However, Ayahua's eyes lit up, and she covered her lips with a half-open folding fan, whispered something softly into the girl's ear.

Obviously, it was time for the girls to have a private chat - probably about love, fortune-telling, or topics like him as their brother.

Kamisato Ayato has always been good at this. Looking at the girls' cheeks turning pink because of the topic, he quietly retreated out of the ward - with a cup of Sumire spice flavored milk tea.

He had always known that his sister and the girl had been keeping in touch through letters - Linghua liked the girl, this was inevitable. After all, it sounded like a free and romantic life, which was exactly what attracted girls of this age.

He had also accidentally seen the letters between the two of them - really accidentally - and he was briefly surprised at the progress of their relationship to the point where they could even talk privately.

In the content, there were even some small complaints from Linghua towards him.

It seems that it is because——

It was the incident in which he casually tricked her into drinking a sip of a strange sour drink in the office. In the girl's reply, she specifically affirmed this part in strong words.

A vengeful little girl.

two.

-

That is……

Kamisato Ayato?

The wanderer had just treated his own wound. Logically, he should have waited until the bloody smell on his body dissipated before looking for the girl. After all, she was always very perceptive.

But inexplicably, perhaps he had a desire to act coquettishly without even realizing it, or perhaps the longing was too disturbing - he just wanted to see her immediately, now, right away.

However, across the long and quiet corridor of the hospital, he saw a person.

Kamisato Ayato.

The wanderer has complicated feelings towards Kamisato Ayato - to be precise, he feels guilty.

However, the time and energy required to trace back this guilt were too far back, there had been too much time in between, and too many things had happened, so when this guilt was projected onto Kamisato Ayato, it became vague and complicated.

If they had not met but only heard about each other, this emotion would not have been overwhelming. However, when they met in a special place today, that feeling suddenly hit him and even briefly aroused his desire to escape.

Obviously, I have done so many things, so why do I still feel that it is not enough when I face it?

The wanderer laughed at himself, hesitated at the intersection for a while, and finally took a step forward.

If you want to stand shoulder to shoulder with the savior, you can't just keep running away.

"You've been dealing with Inazuma's monsters lately, right?"

In the most ordinary and brief exchange of glances, it was Kamisato Ayato who spoke first:

"I've heard a lot about you. And, thank you very much."

“…No need, I just did something I wanted to do.”

This sentence……

Kamisato Ayato raised an eyebrow.

It sounds familiar. I seem to have heard similar words from the girl before.

Should we say they are truly a couple?

For some reason, he felt a little sad when he thought of this, but fortunately it was only a little bit and did not make him lose his social sense.

"My sister is having some private conversation with Miss Suiqiong in there. Perhaps, we can go in later."

"Well," the wanderer looked at the closed door and finally nodded, "The master of the family is so free, why did he come to visit the hospital?"

Kamisato Ayato has always been perceptive, but at this moment he couldn't fully understand the wanderer's emotions. However, it was enough as a response:

"If you are a worthy person, you always need to make time for it."

"What do you think, sir?"

……

"You mean, let me be your agent?"

Kamisato Ayaka's silver-grey pupils slightly dilated. In order to hide her slight uneasiness, she threw away the folding fan in her hand, covering her hibiscus face:

"But, if that happens, others won't know that it's actually your credit. Besides, I have no experience in managing property... But I also have some assets that I can put into the foundation."

The girl smiled and shook her head:

"You don't need to take care of it... I will write to you about the overall direction. However, I am not well-known. If the fund is promoted in your name, it will have a good influence in Inazuma - even in Teyvat."

The girl's eyes curved:

“At that time, I can accomplish what I want to do better.”

"the most important is……"

The girl shook Linghua's hand:

"I believe Linghua can do it. Linghua has wanted to do that for a long time. Linghua will definitely have no problem."

Yes, the girl had mentioned this idea in a letter a long time ago, and at that time she received an extremely enthusiastic response from Linghua. Linghua even found the attachment of the draft she had previously drafted and sent it to her, and expressed her regret in the letter.

"It's just that the affairs of the Society are very busy, and the forces of various families are intertwined. If we really set up a foundation to raise funds from major families, I'm afraid it will become a tool for fighting for power, and will only increase your brother's official duties. I can only provide financial support privately."

These are Linghua’s original words.

"Look, now that I'm the one who finances everything, the source of funds is single and clean. As long as I can make money to support money, the things you're worried about won't happen."
