Kamisato Ayaka looked at Xiao Gong and Funina who were fighting, and then looked at Fang Yun, with some resentment in her blue eyes.
Volume 3: I will take a day off for the Chinese New Year. Happy New Year to everyone.
happy New Year to all!
I'm very sorry to take a day off. Actually, I wanted to update as usual, but I've been busy most of the day back home. The fireworks and firecrackers were too noisy when I wanted to write at night, and I couldn't fall asleep.

Volume 3: Chapter 13 Linghua: Wake up, Master of Frost
Kamisato Ayaka looked at Fang Yun with a dim gaze, her face showing an extremely complicated expression.
Although there has been news back to the country since Fang Yun and the General left Inazuma, Kamisato Ayaka still hopes that Fang Yun can return soon.
After all, during this period, Inazuma's main work included ensuring people's livelihood, developing tourism on Kaigi Island, and signing arms upgrade orders with Liyue, all of which were basically related to the social magistrate.
If Fang Yun returns to Inazuma, he will definitely summon her and her brother to understand the progress of the work before convening the assessment meeting, and the subsequent summons will definitely not be less frequent.
After realizing this, Kamisato Ayaka let out a "hehehehe" laugh, a sweet sound like wind chimes.
This is undoubtedly a good opportunity for advancement and a key turning point for her to stand out from the “cat, fish, turtle and dog” crowd.
Warm cat Qiliangliang? In bed, she turns into a cat, and out of bed, she turns into a girl, Inazuma shock wave.
Tengu Nine-Joe Sala? The dry bones in the tomb will be captured sooner or later!
The only person she had to worry about was her female secretary, Coral Palace Xinhai.
Therefore, in order to be better prepared for the summons and take the opportunity of promotion... promotion, Kamisato Ayaka worked very hard during this period. In the meantime, her brother also went to Kaigi Island to garrison due to the unusual movements of Fushita Palace.
This made Kamisato Ayaka couldn't help but raise her hands and shout, there has never been such a wonderful start!
She even fantasized about holding the Refining 2 trophy.
However, misfortunes happened one after another.
First of all, General... News came from Liyue one after another, saying that the General and Fang Yun were shopping in Liyue and had visited many places reserved for couples.
There is no doubt that Refining 2 is definitely a failure, but Kamisato Ayaka can still barely comfort herself that it is not shameful to lose to the general.
After all, if the General had entered earlier, the Yae Palace Master whom he admired would not have had the chance to achieve elite level 1.
Even later, when faced with the general's request of "Fang Yun is tired, you guys push him", she and Yae Gongji had the same result. After she "narrowly lost", she regrouped and started aiming for Elite 3.
But the good times did not last long, as news came from Fontaine that Fang Yun had a very good relationship with the water goddess Funina. When the two were talking in front of the gate of Momang Palace, there was an obvious sense of familiarity, and there was a group photo taken by the Steam Bird News as evidence.
Although she didn't know how close the relationship between the water goddess Funina and Fang Yun was, Kamisato Ayaka had a bad feeling again. If she hadn't been unable to put down the work at hand, she might have "flashed to Fontaine". But now she could only prepare to aim for the level 4 sword.
Fortunately, Fang Yun and the General quickly returned to Inazuma and successfully sealed the Forbidden Zone Supreme who had cut himself with a sword, and once again suppressed the life forbidden zone of the Dark Sea.
But Fang Yun has not left the castle tower these days, but has been busy with government affairs.
Kamisato Ayaka could understand this, so she just waited silently for the summons. However, Fang Yun never came to see her, but Coral Palace Xinhai frequently went in and out of the castle tower.
To this day, Fang Yun still did not summon her, but took Yingmei, his newly hired female secretary, out shopping.
idiot!
If this continues, how long will she keep pointing her sword?
If she continues to lose, Princess Egret will lose the lottery!
What happened to the promise to watch the festival together and move on to a new chapter with Inazuma? Why does she always seem to come at the wrong time?
Kamisato Ayaka did not speak, but just stared at Fang Yun quietly, but the resentful aura on her body seemed to turn into substance and dissipate.
"Ahem, Linghua, long time no see." Fang Yun greeted rather awkwardly.
"Yeah, long time no see." Kamisato Ayaka's resentment remained unabated. If she continued like this, she would soon become a silver-haired passerby.
But seeing the resentment in Linghua's eyes seemed to be even heavier, a large number of mathematical formulas appeared in front of him, and his mind was working quickly. Before she could speak, he said: "Actually, this time I brought Ying out just to find you."
"Looking for me?" There was a hint of surprise on Kamisato Ayaka's face. Wasn't Fang Yun taking his female secretary shopping?
But this is a misunderstanding of Fang Yun. He really came here to find Guigui today.
"The mission of the Society has been very heavy recently. Now that I have some free time, I naturally want to come and express my condolences." Fang Yun smiled at Linghua, "Of course, I also want to see you, Linghua."
Kamisato Ayaka heaved a sigh of relief upon hearing this. It turned out that Fang Yun just happened to meet Funina and Xiao Gong.
If she pointed the sword further, she felt like she could turn the sword around like a clock.
The resentment faded away, and Kamisato Ayaka returned to her previous elegant young lady appearance. She nodded to everyone present and even kindly refilled everyone's tea.
During this process, Yingmei inadvertently looked at her, and they could read the meaning of "progress" from each other's eyes.
This made Ying a little alert... Although she had never dealt with Kamisato Ayaka before, she had heard some news about the White Egret Princess from the folk rumors of Inazuma.
At present, the two great magistrates of Inazuma have been deposed, and Kamisato Ayaka is the only remaining magistrate's daughter. Judging from her status, many people in Inazuma believe that she will become the concubine of His Highness Fang Yun, which can be called "half a step to the realm of noble concubine."
If she were to become Imperial Concubine Ying, she would likely be sniped by the other side... Wait, that's not right, why would she become Imperial Concubine Ying?
To take a step back, even if Ying wants to surrender, it must not be now. How can there be a blonde female knight who would fall after being transformed only once? At least she should experience the entire transformation process, right?
Wait until Fang Yun makes her make scissors hands, sticks out her tongue, has hearts in her eyes, and has grass element patterns carved on her, then consider it!
Fang Yun, feel free to use any despicable means you have!
Paimon didn't feel anything. She asked curiously, "Come to think of it, Miss Kamisato, why were you watching the insect battle just now? Uh, according to common sense, shouldn't a lady prefer the elegant atmosphere of the nobility?"
"Gao Ya? Why do you suddenly say that?"
"Ah? I saw the way you made tea just now... well, it felt very impressive. These should be the necessary training for a young lady, right?"
"I have indeed undergone special etiquette training, but interactions between nobles are always dangerous, especially since the Kamisato family was in turmoil in the past. Most people had bad intentions, and being elegant was just to cover up the family's weakness." Kamisato Ayaka recalled the past and shook her head helplessly.
When she was a child, she couldn't understand why her mother Kamisato Kayo was always calm and composed outside, but always looked sad at home. It was not until she took over the affairs of the Kamisato family that she understood the pressure on her mother's shoulders.
Their every move represents the Kamisato family. Not only do they need to be extremely cautious in handling affairs, they also have to constantly worry about affecting the reputation of the Kamisato family due to their own mistakes in etiquette. Therefore, even if they want to participate in the festival, they dare not try.
Just thinking of this, she couldn't help but look at Fang Yun again, with a faint smile on her lips.
For her, the issue of identity was a unique understanding between her and Fang Yun.
She could not forget the loneliness and desolation of the two of them watching the fireworks from Inazuma Castle at the Narugami Taisha Shrine, but she could not forget the joy of being invited by Fang Yun to participate in the festival and to welcome a new chapter with Inazuma.
Kamisato Ayaka will always remember the gorgeous fireworks that night...this fleeting moment of beauty is the eternity she pursues.
Because what is important to her is not the festival, but the people who participate in the festival with her.
Humph, her turtle still has its moments of glory. Even if she can't compare to Yaegong Si, she still has a better chance of being refined than Coral Palace Xinhai or this Ying, right?
How can you escape when it is in your hands?
But Xiao Gong interrupted Kamisato Ayaka's empty cup-raising: "Ayaka, you haven't told me why you came to watch the insect battle. I invited you to the hot springs before, but you didn't want to join me."
Since the company's work is related to people's livelihood, she and Kamisato Ayaka are relatively familiar with each other. Although there is a big gap in their identities, the two are still close friends.
"I'm here for work reasons... The insect fighting competition held by the Arotaki faction these days is very popular. I'm wondering if we can expand the scale of the competition and hold some large-scale events to build Inazuma's [Insect Fighting Culture]." Kamisato Ayaka explained softly, "Well, to put it simply, it's like creating a new Rongcai Festival."
Although Xiao Gong didn't understand the principles of IP, after Kamisato Ayaka's explanation, she roughly understood what it meant.
"So that's how it is. If we can make fighting insects as popular as the Seven Sages Summoning, then everyone can raise some ghost beetles to make money in the future." Xiao Gong analyzed.
Yingmei is looking at the long-term. If a specialized industrial chain can be formed, many new tricks can be done with the beetle in the future, from breeding to character and skill identification. By then, she can set up eight major gyms, and the winners can get medals of honor or something, which will make the players who spend money on the game make a lot of money.
If you are a little more shady, you can change the way of selling, and add a "card drawing" purchase method on the basis of the clearly marked price. There is a chance of drawing the highest quality ghost beetle, and it is guaranteed to come out after 90 shots.
Fang Yun didn't expect such a shady way of drawing cards, but if the fighting insects can be promoted like the Seven Saints Summons, it will indeed be of many benefits to Inazuma.
He asked Yingmei to remember this, and then praised her: "Linghua, you did a good job."
"This is the responsibility of the Kamisato family." Kamisato Ayaka smiled modestly. Although she was eager to be rewarded by Fang Yun, doing practical things for the people of Inazuma was indeed her goal.
"By the way, Your Highness Fang Yun, is there something important that you came to see me about?" Kamisato Ayaka said and looked at Funina again, "Also, Fu...what's going on with Lord Water God?"
Fang Yun had a few words with Funina just now, but she still didn't understand how Fang Yun took the Water God back to Inazuma. If this isn't handled properly, it might lead to an international conflict, right?
Xiaogong and Yingmei were also very curious. There was obviously a water god in Fontaine. Was there going to be a plot about the real and fake Funina?
It would be quite troublesome if a conflict occurred, as Funina is an international superstar!
"The water god in Fontaine is real, too. Well, it's a bit complicated. You can just think of her as Funina's sister. Now Funina has taken off her duties as the water god and is here to vacation in Inazuma." Fang Yun explained simply, "As for coming to see you, Linghua, it's mainly because I have a lot of government affairs to discuss with you."
"Sister?" Xiao Gong looked at Funina, remembering that she had indeed mentioned it to him before, but Xiao Gong didn't expect that she was the water god.
"Yes, I have never hidden anything from you, Xiaogong." Funina smiled at her. She was very frank with her new friend, Xiaogong.
As for how the two met, there was nothing special about it... When Funina left the castle tower and came to the streets of Inazuma Castle, she was very confused at first. Xiao Gong thought she was a tourist who had just arrived in Inazuma and acted as a tour guide enthusiastically.
Alas, Xiaogong is much better than the fake sister Fucarlos.
But it doesn’t matter. After coming to Inazuma, Funina felt that her advantage was further expanded. It was equivalent to having reached a high ground, and she also had the guidance of Sister Ying, a master.
On the other hand, Fucaros was trapped in Fontaine. Even if she was good at stealing towers, she didn't even have a line of soldiers now. How could she steal a daughter?
Although Funina often complained that she was always frightened when she was with Fang Yun, Fucarlos didn't even have the chance to be frightened now.
The advantage is mine!
"Ahem, since Fang Yun, you want to discuss government affairs with Miss Kamisato, you should go and get busy first. Anyway, Xiao Gong and I don't have anything to do here. We are still discussing going to the hot springs." Funina cleared her throat and changed the subject. With her experience, she could naturally see that Inazuma's current work was very busy.
Xiao Gong nodded sensibly. She was always enthusiastic and invited Ying and Kamisato Ayaka: "Yes, I heard that the artificial hot spring on Kaigi Island is about to be built. I plan to go and see it after I finish the fireworks order at home. Why don't we go together?"
Take a hot spring bath together?
Ying was stunned when she heard this, and her expression looked a little hesitant. She also had a schedule to take a hot spring bath, but that was to go with Fang Yun to inspect the project.
Hey, wait.
Yingmei suddenly thought of something, and her eyes lit up immediately as she agreed: "Okay, Fang Yun and I are going there too, and I am in charge of all these projects. I will explain them to you in detail when the time comes."
While speaking, Yingmei gave Fang Yun a smug look.
Yes, Ying was originally worried that there might be something wrong with going to inspect the hot spring with Fang Yun, such as being dragged into the hot spring by Fang Yun's request for mixed bathing, and then being modified because of the special environment of the hot spring.
But now that there are so many teammates, Yingmei is not afraid at all. Even if Fang Yun enters the mixed bathing pool, can he transform her in front of everyone?
Fang Yun seemed to be hesitant to talk, and was confused by Yingmei's pride.
He hadn't even opened his mouth yet, but his girlfriend had already taken the initiative to apply for a wedding party for him? And she even gave him a smug look?
I see. Yingpa will take special care of you, right?
Little Paimeng next to her shuddered, as if he had seen the scene of Ying covering her mouth and not daring to make a sound in the hot spring... But she didn't say anything. If Ying didn't make progress, how could she make progress?
Anyway, Ying herself said that she wanted Fang Yun to use some transformation methods on her.
But unexpectedly, Ying, a stranger, agreed, but Kamisato Ayaka, as a good friend of Xiao Gong, looked hesitant.
Xiao Gong was a little puzzled: "Linghua, do you have any work to do? There is no rush. We still have many opportunities to play together next time."
She knew that Kamisato Ayaka attached great importance to her image as the eldest daughter of the Kamisato family, but since even Fang Yun was there this time, there was no reason for Kamisato Ayaka to still care about her identity.
"It's not a work issue...uh, okay, let's go together." Kamisato Ayaka sighed softly.
After saying that, she and Fang Yun left the room and went to the secret room next door.
Looking at Kamisato Ayaka's helpless back, Paimon stroked his chin thoughtfully: "I always feel like Ayaka seems to have some unspeakable secrets about taking a hot spring bath. Will Ayaka become strange after entering the water?"
Turtle!
She seemed to have discovered some incredible secret!
...
After entering the secret room, Fang Yun and Kamisato Ayaka sat opposite each other.
Shenli Linghua knelt down in front of the coffee table with grace and grace. Her bright blue eyes stayed on Fang Yun for a while, and then she gently brushed aside the silver hair by her ears and took the initiative to say, "Your Highness Fang Yun, long time no see."
Although he had responded to Fang Yun before, there were other people around him at that time, which was completely different from the current environment where the two of them were alone.
Sometimes it's like this, the same words have different meanings in different contexts.
Fang Yun understood the meaning behind Shenli Linghua's words and knew that she was talking to him as Linghua instead of the eldest daughter of the Shenli family, so he smiled and nodded at her: "Linghua, you look much more relaxed than before. You always seemed very restrained before."
"Yeah, in the past, even if I did it for work, I wouldn't watch insect fighting on the street." Kamisato Ayaka was a little emotional. Everyone thought that Princess Shirayuki was perfect, but no one knew how carefully she walked to maintain this image.
In fact, she understood that the people would not reject her participation in festivals and various activities, but she never had the courage to take that step, fearing that her actions would affect other people's views of the Kamisato family. It was not until Fang Yun invited her to participate in the festival that she was able to let go of the burden.
Well, if I have to say something, it’s that there were too many people attending the festival that day.
Fortunately, Nuanmao and Tengu are not a big threat in Kamisato Ayaka's eyes. Now that she has untied her knot, she is no longer the same Kamisato Ayaka.
Wake up, master of frost!
Fang Yun was stunned by the confidence in Kamisato Ayaka's eyes, but he didn't think much about it because he had something important to discuss. He simply told her the reasons why he came to see her this time.
