The moment Sangonomiya Kokomi said this, Yae Miko instantly became displeased:
"No, why is it that after each of you tastes Little Qian's cooking, you all become so clingy?"
Usually, Sayu, the Tsaritsa, Raiden Ei, and Kamisato Ayaka were enough, and Yae Miko would just tolerate it.
Why did this ornamental fish want to join in too!
"Aren't you the same?" Yuuko complained in his heart, then reached out to stop Yae Miko and looked at Sangonomiya Kokomi:
"Miss Kokomi's eyes reveal quite a bit of fatigue."
Yuuko had noticed it while they were eating.
Sangonomiya Kokomi's eyes always carried a heavy weariness.
However, upon a little thought, it was actually quite normal, after all, Sangonomiya Kokomi was the administrator of Watatsumi Island.
She had to manage a large number of miscellaneous affairs every day.
Basically, all major matters had to go through her.
Sangonomiya Kokomi was still a young fish, taking on so many responsibilities at such a young age.
Recently, Watatsumi Island had also been plagued by Abyssal Monsters, and because of this, Sangonomiya Kokomi must have accumulated considerable pressure.
It was normal for her to appear fatigued.
Hearing this, Sangonomiya Kokomi's mouth slightly opened, and after a moment, she sighed softly:
"Did I really show my fatigue...?"
"However, since Mr. Yuuko has noticed, I won't hide it any longer."
"I have indeed been a bit tired recently, but Mr. Yuuko's cooking can restore my energy, so... I will come to Mr. Yuuko's place more often to replenish my energy..."
"Energy?" Yuuko showed a puzzled expression but quickly understood.
It was probably the ornamental fish's wonderful metaphor, referring to restoring mental clarity as restoring energy.
Because of this, Yuuko pondered for a moment and then agreed: "Miss Kokomi, feel free to come whenever you like. It's nice to have some lively company during meals anyway."
Sangonomiya Kokomi bowed slightly to Yuuko: "Thank you."
Meanwhile, Yae Miko, who couldn't stop them, could only sigh helplessly... That night, Kamisato Ayaka had already returned to her room.
Yuuko was washing dishes.
Outside his house, Yae Miko and Sangonomiya Kokomi, these old rivals, stood together, chatting idly.
At this moment, the two women were not bickering.
"Guuji Yae, I never expected you to be so close to an ordinary person. I didn't realize before that you would value someone so much."
Yae Miko waved her hand helplessly:
"I've always cherished Little Qian, it's just that recently, there have been more and more vixen-like women around Little Qian."
Sangonomiya Kokomi showed a strange expression: "Aren't you a fox yourself?"
Yae Miko coughed dryly and said with slight anger: "I'm referring to *those* vixen-like women!"
Sangonomiya Kokomi shook her head, then smiled slightly:
"However, Mr. Yuuko is indeed an interesting person. Setting everything else aside, his cooking is truly delicious, so delicious that it can make one relax both body and mind."
"You deep-sea tongue sole, don't you dare set your sights on my Little Qian."
Sangonomiya Kokomi didn't get angry; instead, she smiled: "It seems Guuji Yae really likes Mr. Yuuko."
Hearing this, Yae Miko wasn't happy; instead, she sighed helplessly:
"So everyone else can see my feelings for Little Qian, but he just can't, he's like a block of wood... Should I say Little Qian is pure, or that he's made of steel...?"
"Hahaha..." Sangonomiya Kokomi smiled faintly.
Yae Miko waved her hand again, then glanced behind her, at Yuuko's house.
She then looked at Sangonomiya Kokomi helplessly and said:
"So, you suddenly called me out, it can't just be for idle chatter, can it? Is there something you absolutely must discuss away from Little Qian?"
Hearing this, Sangonomiya Kokomi's expression suddenly turned serious:
"Then I'll be brief, Guuji Yae, who exactly is Mr. Yuuko...?"
Hearing such a question, Yae Miko was slightly stunned, then sighed again:
"Why are you all suspecting Little Qian? Ayato was the same before. Well... I'm no exception either, I suspected Little Qian a lot at first and investigated him many times."
"So... who exactly is Mr. Yuuko? Not only does he have such a relationship with you, Guuji Yae, but he also seems to have a considerable relationship with the Raiden Shogun. I don't believe a best-selling writer could have such a network."
Facing such a serious question, Yae Miko smiled slightly:
"Hehe, Little Qian is indeed just an ordinary person."
"Really?" Sangonomiya Kokomi stared at Yae Miko, trying to discern something from her expression.
But Yae Miko was also very cunning, always maintaining a mischievous smile on her face.
Nothing could be seen at all.
"Really, I also suspected Little Qian before, but he is indeed a person with a clean background," Yae Miko said with a smile.
After speaking, Yae Miko smiled again:
"The reason Little Qian is so popular is probably related to his personal charm. It's because of his personal charm that everyone gathers around him."
Hearing this, Sangonomiya Kokomi looked deeply at Yae Miko again before confirming that Yae Miko was not lying.
She could only exclaim: "It seems Mr. Yuuko is truly a very unique person."
"Hehe, after all, he's my Little Qian~" She chuckled, then Yae Miko asked again:
"Kokomi, seeing how tired you looked during dinner, is the situation on Watatsumi Island not very optimistic recently?"
Sangonomiya Kokomi smiled bitterly: "Guuji Yae, to be honest, Abyssal Monsters have also appeared here on Watatsumi Island recently."
"Abyssal Monsters have appeared on Watatsumi Island?" Yae Miko raised an eyebrow, her expression very surprised.
"That's right." Sangonomiya Kokomi nodded: "And the location and number of their appearances are very random. We don't know what the Abyss's intentions are."
"Is that so." Yae Miko's expression gradually became solemn, and she murmured in a low voice:
"They attacked Inazuma not long ago, and after retreating, they came to attack Watatsumi Island...?"
At this moment, Sangonomiya Kokomi spoke again:
"That's actually the case. Watatsumi Island isn't safe recently. Since you value Mr. Yuuko so much, why don't you take him back to Inazuma?"
Facing this question, Yae Miko pondered for a while, then shook her head: "No, this is a rare opportunity for Little Qian to ask me out to play; I can't waste it."
"But what if you encounter Abyssal Monsters... Never mind your own life, what if Mr. Yuuko is in danger?"
"What do you mean 'never mind my own life'..." Yae Miko grumbled.
Sangonomiya Kokomi smiled:
"However, although Guuji Yae is completely unreliable, her strength cannot be questioned. With Guuji Yae around, Mr. Yuuko should be fine."
"Although I know you jellyfish are mocking me, never mind."
With that, Yae Miko waved her hand and walked towards the house behind her:
"I'm going back, no need to see me off."
But after only two steps, her collar was pulled by Sangonomiya Kokomi:
"Guuji Yae, the residence I arranged for you isn't here, is it? This is Mr. Yuuko's residence. Dinner is over, what are you going in for?"
