"It's quite rare, you know. Usually, you hardly ever see anyone passing through this area."
On the way to the Kamisato Estate, Kamisato Ayaka covered her face with a folding fan and spoke softly.
In response, Yuuko gave an awkward laugh, "Mainly, I had something I needed to do at the Shuumatsuban today, and since I've never been there before, I got lost."
"Oh, could it be that this gentleman has an appointment with my elder brother?" Kamisato Ayaka smiled sweetly.
"Not exactly. I went there simply to find the chief priestess of the Grand Narukami Shrine. I heard that Guuji Yae is currently at the Shuumatsuban, so I headed over."
"Guuji Yae..." Kamisato Ayaka showed a momentary look of doubt, then asked tentatively:
"Could it be... that this gentleman is Mr. Yuuko?"
Hearing that Kamisato Ayaka knew him, Yuuko raised an eyebrow. "Miss Kamisato knows me?"
Kamisato Ayaka offered a polite smile:
"Seeing your refined demeanor, sir, I presume you work in a clerical profession. And coincidentally, I heard that Lady Yae is quite close with a light novel creator, so I couldn't help but make the connection."
"Is that so?" Yuuko nodded, not finding it strange.
After all, since he was so close to Yae Miko and was a bestselling writer in Inazuma, having a certain level of fame was normal.
As they walked, Kamisato Ayaka suddenly asked:
"I wonder if I might ask Mr. Yuuko about one thing?"
Yuuko thought for a moment, then nodded. "Ask away. As long as it's not too personal, I'll answer."
"I heard that Lady Yae holds Mr. Yuuko in high regard, so I'm curious: how did Lady Yae first come into contact with Mr. Yuuko?"
Faced with this question, Yuuko pondered for a moment. Instead of rushing to answer, he showed a strange expression.
Kamisato Ayaka noticed this and said, "Was my question inappropriate for the setting?"
Yuuko shook his head. "No, I was just a little surprised that Miss Kamisato would care about something like that."
After that, Yuuko began to answer the previous question:
"I don't remember the details from back then clearly. I just remember that one day while I was cooking, that woman, Yae Miko, walked into my house and shamelessly mooched a meal?"
"After she kept mooching off me, we just got familiar?"
These words first caused Kamisato Ayaka to freeze slightly, and then she couldn't help but chuckle:
"Hahahaha... If Lady Yae knew Mr. Yuuko was describing her like that, I wonder what she would think."
Yuuko waved his hand helplessly. "What could she think? Someone as shameless as her wouldn't care about such a description, right?"
Hearing this, Kamisato Ayaka couldn't help but burst out laughing again.
After all, this was the first time she had ever heard anyone dare to describe Yae Miko in such a way.
However, a Demoiselle is a Demoiselle; even though her amusement was high, she quickly restrained herself and returned to her usual elegant posture.
Afterward, she lamented:
"It truly is rare for Lady Yae to become so close with a citizen of Inazuma."
Yuuko waved his hand. "Honestly, she just has a craving for my cooking."
Kamisato Ayaka smiled, then began to change the subject:
"By the way, since Mr. Yuuko is a light novel creator, I assume you were greatly affected by everything that happened in Inazuma recently?"
Kamisato Ayaka was referring to the Vision Hunt Decree and the appearance of Abyssal Monsters from the previous period.
In her view, given the massive turmoil Inazuma experienced at that time, someone like Yuuko, who makes a living through creation,
should have been greatly affected.
