"Oh my, Yuuko, good evening~"
Standing outside the door was the embodiment of beauty and scum, the chief priestess of the Grand Narukami Shrine, Yae Miko.
"It's Miko. I thought it was..."
"You thought it was?" Yae Miko frowned, looking slightly displeased.
Yuuko shook his head, "Nothing."
Yae Miko eyed Yuuko suspiciously for several seconds before withdrawing her gaze and flashing her characteristic scum smile again:
"Speaking of which, Yuuko is so mean~ You just left me standing outside and didn't invite me in to sit down~"
"Uh..." Yuuko said helplessly, "Then please come in, Miko."
"That's better~" Yae Miko chuckled.
Before entering, however, Yae Miko first asked, "By the way, Yuuko, inside the house... there shouldn't be anyone else, right?"
For some reason, Yae Miko felt vaguely worried.
Yuuko shook his head without thinking, "No, I'm the only one inside. Why do you ask, Miko?"
Hearing this, Yae Miko slightly let out a breath, then smiled:
"Hehe, it's nothing. I just felt that Yuuko's house has been too lively lately, and now it's finally quiet."
"Indeed." Yuuko nodded in agreement.
"It seems that giving Sara a push and letting her out was a good choice." Yae Miko added in her mind:
Otherwise, at this time, either Ei or the Shogun would definitely come to disturb my and Yuuko's world for two.
Hearing this, Yuuko looked surprised, "Uh, Kujou Sara's sudden release from prison, was that related to you, Miko?"
Yae Miko smiled and explained:
"After all, the child herself is quite innocent. During the Vision Hunt Decree, she was dedicated to Inazuma and doesn't deserve to spend the rest of her life in prison."
"So that's how it is." Yuuko smiled, "Miko, you actually do good deeds sometimes."
"What do you mean'sometimes do good deeds'? You make it sound like I commit evil deeds all day long..." Yae Miko complained helplessly.
After complaining, Yae Miko looked at Yuuko with a strange gaze again:
"Speaking of which, why does your tone, Yuuko, sound like you just met her..."
"Ah, I just saw her today, and I thought it was strange how quickly she got out." Yuuko said.
"Is that so." Yae Miko eyed Yuuko suspiciously again.
After a long pause, she gave up and said, "Forget it, let me come in first."
"Please come in." Yuuko didn't refuse and invited Yae Miko into the house... Arriving in the living room, Yae Miko sat by the table and got down to business:
"Right, for your new book, Yuuko, I've arranged the best release time. Do you want to know when it will be released?"
Yuuko thought for a moment and replied, "Is it during the Irodori Festival?"
After all, the Irodori Festival was approaching, and those were the only days Yuuko could think of.
"Hehe, Yuuko is truly sharp. That's right, I happen to be arranging an event at the Yae Publishing House during the Irodori Festival."
"And we'll start selling Yuuko's new book. Considering those few days, we're bound to sell a lot of copies."
"Many foreign friends will also be visiting during those days. Maybe it will become a smash hit!"
Hearing this, Yuuko gave an embarrassed smile:
"I feel quite embarrassed. Miko, you take care of me everywhere. I really don't know how to repay you."
Actually, it would be great if Yuuko repaid me with his body... Yae Miko said with a smile:
"After all, Yuuko's books are always so innovative. I have to find a way to let the gold shine brightly."
After speaking, Yae Miko seemed to suddenly remember something. She stood up, leaned her face close to Yuuko's, and smiled:
"If Yuuko wants to repay me, how about going shopping with me during the Irodori Festival if you have no other plans?"
"Is something so simple enough?" Yuuko felt a bit surprised.
"Hehe, actually, I have some even more outrageous requests, Yuuko. Do you want to hear them?" Yae Miko wore a scum smile.
"No, no..."
