After eating for a while in the private room, Yae Miko soon returned.
Now, Yae Miko's expression had returned to normal.
"Miko, you should eat quickly too, or the dishes will get cold later."
"Hehe, Little Qian really cares about me." Yae Miko smiled, then sat down unceremoniously and began to enjoy the meal.
Afterward, the two slowly enjoyed their sumptuous dinner.
During this time, Yae Miko also kept teasing Yuuko with dirty jokes.
After finally finishing dinner.
Yuuko also let out a soft sigh: "I'm so full, and the chef's cooking skills at this restaurant are quite good."
Yae Miko said with a smile:
"It's indeed quite good. Although it's not as good as Little Qian's cooking, it's considered high-level in Inazuma. No wonder this restaurant has been so popular recently. I'm even thinking of investing some Mora into it."
Hearing this, Yuuko smiled, then changed the subject:
"By the way, Miko, there's something I need to tell you in advance."
"What is it? It's rare to see Little Qian with such a serious expression."
"It's nothing, it's just that after the Irodori Festival, I'll probably go somewhere else to relax. To put it simply, I'm going on a trip. At that time, all matters regarding the subsequent sales of the new book will have to be fully entrusted to you."
After a pause, Yuuko continued:
"Of course, I've already finished writing the latest volume of the new book, so there's no need to worry about readers rushing for updates."
Hearing this, Yae Miko showed a surprised expression:
"Little Qian is going on a trip?"
Yuuko nodded: "Yes, mainly because there have been too many things recently, so it's good to go out and relax a bit."
In fact, the main reason was that Yuuko was going to Watatsumi Island later, to the hidden nation beneath Watatsumi Island.
To look for the thing that the Tsaritsa mentioned.
The trip was just a pretense.
Yae Miko, uncharacteristically, fell into contemplation, then sighed:
"That's true. Little Qian has been quite tired recently, so it's time to relax both mind and body."
Yae Miko also deeply empathized with all the messy things that had been happening in Inazuma recently.
She also knew that those matters had affected Yuuko, an ordinary citizen.
So, it was understandable that Yuuko wanted to go out and relax now.
Yae Miko would not object.
After all, Yae Miko also felt bad for her 'giegie'.
"May I ask where Little Qian wants to travel? Is it like last time, going to Liyue to play?"
Yae Miko still clearly remembered Yuuko's trip to Liyue more than half a year ago.
At that time, she couldn't go to Liyue with Yuuko because she was busy.
Then, after hearing the news of the Liyue Archon's death and the Vortex God breaking the seal.
She was extremely worried.
She was afraid that Yuuko would be caught up in those major events in Liyue.
But thankfully, Yuuko eventually returned to Inazuma completely unharmed, and Yae Miko was relieved.
However, because of that incident in Liyue, Yae Miko would secretly send people to protect Yuuko whenever anything happened afterward.
For example, during the Vision Hunt Decree, to prevent Yuuko from being affected by it.
Yae Miko sent Sayu to protect Yuuko's safety.
Facing Yae Miko's question, Yuuko shook his head:
"No, I won't go that far this time. This time, I'll go somewhere a bit closer to play, like Watatsumi Island."
"Watatsumi Island, huh..." Yae Miko fell into contemplation again, muttering softly:
"Right now, Watatsumi Island is quite safe. If Little Qian goes there to play, there shouldn't be any problems."
After speaking, Yae Miko sighed slightly:
"I understand. Since Little Qian urgently needs to relax, I won't dissuade you. As for the subsequent sales plan for Little Qian's new book, I will take good care of it, so Little Qian can rest assured."
"I guarantee that when Little Qian returns, you'll receive a huge sum in royalties."
Yuuko showed a grateful expression: "Thank you, Miko."
Yae Miko spread her hands: "Who told me and Little Qian to have such a good relationship? After all, the new book concerns Little Qian's future career development, so of course, I have to manage it well."
Yuuko smiled again, then said in surprise: "Speaking of which, I thought you, Miko, would definitely come along for something like going out to play."
According to Yuuko's understanding of Yae Miko, he thought that a scum woman like Yae Miko.
As long as it involved playing, she would definitely shamelessly follow him.
But Yae Miko didn't seem to have that intention.
Yae Miko sighed:
"Actually, I really want to go play with Little Qian, but unfortunately, there have been too many things recently, and I can't spare the time..."
In fact, Yae Miko really wanted to go play with Yuuko.
However, recent affairs were truly too numerous.
No matter how much of a 'scum woman' she was, she couldn't just dump all her work on her subordinates.
Afterward, Yae Miko looked at Yuuko with a meaningful gaze:
"By the way, Little Qian, if you go out to play, what about your little fox?"
Yuuko pondered for a moment before replying:
"It's fine, I've entrusted someone to take care of it. Even when I'm away, it shouldn't have any problems."
Yae Miko frowned slightly:
"Who did Little Qian entrust it to?"
Yuuko didn't hide it and smiled: "I entrusted the General to take care of the little fox."
For some reason, Yae Miko's body shivered slightly.
As if she had been startled by something.
"Miko? What's wrong?" Yuuko asked worriedly.
"No... nothing..."
"Miko, are you really not coming with me to play?" Yuuko asked again.
Yae Miko sighed: "I really want to go play with Little Qian, but there are just too many things recently..."
"That's not like you, Miko. Usually, wouldn't you just dump all your work on your subordinates and go play yourself?"
"Little Qian, am I really that much of a 'scum woman' in your eyes...?" Yae Miko's face was full of peculiar expressions.
Yuuko spread his hands: "But you've always been like that."
"Cough, cough..." Yae Miko coughed again and explained:
"If it's some minor matters, I do occasionally, um... occasionally dump them on my subordinates, but with Inazuma and Snezhnaya cooperating recently, it wouldn't be good if I wasn't in Inazuma proper at such a critical time."
"Is that so?" Yuuko nodded.
Knowing that Yae Miko wouldn't secretly follow him, Yuuko was relieved.
After all, the things he had to do later were quite complicated, and if Yae Miko came along.
It would be very inconvenient to act.
Just in case, Yuuko asked again: "Miko, you really won't secretly follow me?"
Yae Miko shook her head: "Don't worry, Little Qian, this time I absolutely will not go."
"Is that so?" Yuuko let out a soft breath.
Then he brought up other topics:
"By the way, when I asked the General to help take care of the little fox earlier, the General confidently said she would cook for the little fox."
For some reason, Yae Miko's body shivered again.
As if she had been startled by something.
After a while, she said with a serious expression:
"Hmm, I've decided. This time, I'll finish my tasks early and then go play with Little Qian!"
"Wait... Miko, didn't you just confidently say you absolutely wouldn't go...?"
"Hmm... plans have changed..." Yae Miko explained with a peculiar expression.
