Qiu Bai looked at the dango milk in his hand, somewhat puzzled.
"Is this thing really that delicious?"
After thinking for a moment, Qiu Bai drank it all in one gulp.
It was chewy, milky, and sweet with a refreshing taste.
"It's quite good."
Qiu Bai looked at the empty dango milk container in his hand and nodded.
Seeing Qiu Bai nod, Raiden Ei, Kamisato Ayaka, Lumine, and Paimon also drank their dango milk.
"Ah... sweet and delicious."
Raiden Ei looked at Tomoki in front of her with some surprise on her face, smiling as she spoke.
"It also has the texture of confectionery."
"It's very novel to drink."
Raiden Ei folded her arms across her chest, savoring the taste and texture from before.
"Yes, it's clearly a drink."
"But it feels like eating something."
Paimon spread her little hands and said with some wonder.
"Like porridge?"
"But obviously they can't be equated..."
Raiden Ei touched her chin thoughtfully upon hearing this.
"No matter what."
"I really like it..."
Raiden Ei placed one hand on her chest, her face showing a smile, looking both cute and gentle.
Looking at Qiu Bai beside her, she said happily.
"Oishii desu ne~"
Qiu Bai looked at the adorable Raiden Ei in front of him and nodded in agreement.
"Mm... it really is delicious."
"I'd like to bring some to my brother."
Kamisato Ayaka looked at the dango milk in her hand and said with some surprise.
"Thank you, Shogun-sama, Qiu Bai-sama, Shirasagi Himegimi, and Traveler!"
"For everyone's approval of the dango milk!"
Tomoki looked at the several people in front of him, raised his hands above his head in prayer position, and said with trepidation.
Just now his heart had nearly jumped to his throat.
He even wondered if he had misheard something.
This Qiu Bai gentleman was actually the deity from Liyue, Morcius.
"Knowing so much..."
"Will I be silenced?"
Tomoki glanced at Qiu Bai and thought fearfully to himself.
"Such delicious dango milk."
"It should sell very well, right?"
Raiden Ei looked at the frightened Tomoki in front of her and asked.
"Uh..."
"Well... to be honest, the sales are quite ordinary."
Tomoki scratched the back of his head and said somewhat awkwardly.
"Eh?"
"It doesn't sell well? Why?"
Raiden Ei looked at Tomoki in front of her, her innocent face full of curiosity.
She didn't understand why something so delicious would have such ordinary sales.
"Because many people are unwilling to try it."
"They think this combination is strange, though those who have tried it give pretty good reviews..."
Tomoki spread his hands and explained helplessly to the people in front of him.
"I, I'm not saying Shogun-sama has strange taste!"
"Please don't blame me!"
Tomoki looked at the contemplating Raiden Ei in front of him and said with trepidation.
His survival instincts were almost maxed out.
"Oh, that's simple. Have the Kamisato Clan Social Pursuits Commission buy several hundred cups."
"Then go door to door giving them out."
Raiden Ei looked at Tomoki in front of her, spread her hands, and said gently.
"Eh?!"
Kamisato Ayaka widened her eyes in disbelief upon hearing this, looking at Raiden Ei.
"Ah, what a coincidence."
"The young lady of the Kamisato Clan is right here. I'll arrange it right now..."
Raiden Ei looked at Kamisato Ayaka beside her with a smile on her face.
"No, no, no, Shogun-sama, that's too exaggerated!"
Tomoki was first startled, then quickly waved his hands.
"Is it exaggerated?"
"I just want them to try it. Not having tried dango milk would be too regrettable."
Raiden Ei looked at the refusing Tomoki with some confusion.
"This..."
Tomoki scratched the back of his head, not knowing what to say.
"Do you like sweets, Ei?"
"Would you like another cup?"
Qiu Bai looked at Raiden Ei beside him and asked with a light smile.
"I want..."
"Never mind... I don't want it. I'm not obsessed to that degree."
Raiden Ei turned around, looked up at Qiu Bai, and shook her head somewhat proudly.
"Hehe..."
"One more cup, Tomoki-san."
Qiu Bai chuckled upon hearing this, then looked at Tomoki in front of him and spoke.
"Right away, Qiu Bai-sama!"
Tomoki quickly handed Qiu Bai a cup, afraid his speed was too slow.
Qiu Bai looked at the dango milk in his hand, then placed it in Raiden Ei hands.
"I already said I don't want it."
"Yet you still force it on me..."
Raiden Ei looked at the dango milk in her hands, then looked up at Qiu Bai with embarrassment.
"Drink it."
"After meditating for so long, have some sweets to relax."
Qiu Bai looked at the adorable Raiden Ei in front of him and said with a smile.
"I..."
"Mm... since you're giving it to me, then I'll drink it."
Raiden Ei lowered her head to look at the dango milk in her hands, hesitated for a moment, then drank it all.
"Sweets really do make one feel relaxed."
"Compared to meditating alone in bitter contemplation, this is much more pleasant."
After finishing her drink, Raiden Ei looked up at Qiu Bai with a smile.
"Is, is this really Shogun?"
"How is she so different from what I remember?"
Kamisato Ayaka looked at the cute and gentle Raiden Shogun in front of her and muttered strangely to herself.
For a moment she thought she was dreaming.
The usually serious and imposing Shogun actually had this side to her?
"Since you're giving it to me?"
"That phrase sounds somehow strange..."
Paimon looked at the happy Ei in front of her, then at Lumine beside her, saying with some confusion.
Could the relationship between Qiu Bai and Ei really be that good?
But they had only met three times, and they were always fighting.
Once Qiu Bai chest was even pierced through.
"Paimon, do you remember what Miko told us?"
"Maybe Miko told Ei about Qiu Bai past."
Lumine looked at the confused Paimon and reminded her.
"I see..."
"No wonder."
Paimon put her hands behind her back, thought for a moment, then said with a smile.
"By the way, Miko mentioned to me."
"She built a place called Yae Publishing House, selling light novels."
Raiden Ei touched her chin with some curiosity.
"She's always bragging to me about it, but I have no concept of what it is."
"Since we have this opportunity, could you take me to see it?"
Raiden Ei looked at Qiu Bai in front of her and asked with curiosity.
"Mm... since Ei is curious, let's go take a look."
"That's not unreasonable."
Qiu Bai nodded upon hearing this.
Then he looked at Kamisato Ayaka beside him, and then at Tomoki nearby.
"Please don't reveal my identity."
"In the eyes of Liyue people now, I should still be sleeping."
Qiu Bai folded his arms across his chest and spoke slowly.
"Don't, don't worry, Qiu Bai-sama."
"I definitely won't tell anyone."
Tomoki looked at Qiu Bai in front of him and quickly spoke up.
