“Wife… daughter…”
Keqing blinked, murmuring softly.
Without thinking, she tightened her hold around the little white-haired girl in her arms.
A warm sensation spread from where their skin touched, settling on her cheeks.
Keqing’s face was burning.
If she really became Ren’s wife and had such an adorable daughter…
No, no, no—what was she even thinking?!
It’s not like she wanted to have Ren’s child!
“?”
Nahida’s big, round eyes were full of confusion.
Such complicated emotions—the wise Little Grass God didn’t understand.
Wait… was Ren also Keqing’s sun?
“Fufu… so Kazuha is here as well.”
Kamisato Ayaka smiled lightly and greeted him with elegance.
“Lady Kamisato.”
Kazuha returned a polite smile but sighed internally.
The wind today was particularly noisy.
Ren, my friend, I can’t help you with this one…
This was already the fourth.
Surely, there wouldn’t be more… right?
Kaedehara Kazuha was utterly shocked.
With that thought, he picked up his sword from the table and cupped his hands in a farewell gesture.
“Apologies, I just remembered something important.”
“…You two, please get along well.”
Leaving behind those sincere words, Kazuha swiftly took his leave.
The Anemo swordsman chose to flee the scene.
This was Ren’s family matter, after all.
It was best to let the sister-in-laws handle it themselves!
“Wait…?”
Keqing snapped out of her thoughts, wanting to stop him.
He hadn’t even told her where the Tenryou Commission was yet!
But the wind boy had already vanished in just a few steps, as if he hadn’t heard her at all.
Keqing frowned, puzzled.
She just wanted directions—what’s the worst that could happen?
“It’s alright, please follow me.”
“The Yashiro Commission can assist you.”
Kamisato Ayaka extended her hand, inviting her with a warm smile.
The Komore Teahouse wasn’t far from here.
Besides, she was also looking for Ren, so this was on the way.
“The Yashiro Commission?”
Keqing hesitated for a moment.
Ren rarely mentioned the Yashiro Commission.
But Ayaka’s refined mannerisms and graceful aura made her easy to like.
What a dignified and elegant young lady.
“Alright then.”
Keqing nodded and smiled, extending her hand in return.
“My name is Keqing.”
And just like that, the two beauties formally introduced themselves.
Their eyes met—
The atmosphere was peaceful and harmonious.
—
The group set off.
“This child… who is she?”
On the way, Ayaka’s eyes sparkled as she looked at the quiet and well-behaved Nahida.
Girls were naturally drawn to beautiful things.
And Nahida was practically an angel.
“Um, I’m Nahida!”
Nahida nestled in Keqing’s arms, flashing a warm and healing smile.
Just the thought of seeing Ren soon made her happy.
Ayaka and Keqing both fell silent for a moment, feeling something soft tug at their hearts.
She was just too cute.
Though… one day, she’d grow up and be someone’s treasure.
Which lucky scoundrel will that be?
“By the way, she’s not my daughter.”
“And I’m not married.”
Keqing lightly poked Nahida’s cheek, smiling as she explained.
Of course, if someone were just a little more proactive…
Not that it’d change anything!
Keqing’s inner tsundere side flared up again.
“Apologies, that was careless of me.”
Ayaka’s delicate eyes shimmered with a hint of regret.
Though, she still had questions.
As the Yashiro Commission’s Shirasagi Himegimi, she had handled many such cases before—
Single mothers, carrying their child across great distances to find the father in Inazuma.
She understood.
“Miss Keqing, did you come to Inazuma to find someone?”
Ayaka gently ruffled Nahida’s hair as she asked casually.
“Mm, yes.”
Keqing’s gaze softened slightly as she thought of him.
Though… technically, Ren tricked her into coming here.
But if she had no interest at all, why would she have followed him so willingly?
“Where is this person? I’ll take you to him.”
“I’m not sure. I just have to wait a little longer.”
Keqing’s eyes lowered slightly as she sighed.
Ren had been called away by his big boss again.
Their superior-subordinate relationship sure was close, huh?
“…”
Ayaka smiled faintly.
From Liyue, carrying a child, coming here to find someone…
She’s completely fallen, hasn’t she?
“You must care about him a lot, don’t you?”
Ayaka sighed softly.
Leaving behind such a beautiful wife and adorable daughter…
“H-h-hold on! Care about him? That’s not—!”
Keqing coughed and looked straight ahead, trying to act composed.
But the slight upward curve of her lips betrayed her.
Her earlobes were tinged red—unbelievably tempting.
“You two must have a wonderful bond.”
Ayaka clapped her hands together gently, her voice full of admiration.
Master, I miss you too…
Keqing blinked and looked at Ayaka.
Bathed in the evening glow, her eyes shimmered.
Keqing understood that look.
It was the purest form of longing—
A yearning for someone dear.
“You care about someone too, don’t you?”
Keqing murmured.
She understood this feeling.
“…Mm.”
Ayaka pursed her lips into a soft smile and nodded lightly.
Her master was the most important person to her.
“You too?”
Keqing and Ayaka spoke at the same time.
They exchanged glances—
A moment of shared understanding.
“Sister Keqing.”
“Sister Ayaka.”
They clasped hands again, addressing each other as sisters.
“Wait… are you two in love with the same person?”
Just then, a soft voice asked.
Nahida had sensed their emotions.
The figure she saw in her dreams overlapped in both of their hearts.
It was her sun—Ren.
“As if!”
Keqing smiled and ruffled Nahida’s hair.
She was just a child—she didn’t understand.
“Fufu… little one, you’re too young to know these things.”
Ayaka chuckled behind her fan, unconcerned.
Once you grow up, you’ll understand.
Nahida blinked, then suddenly said—
“I have someone I care about too.”
She understood their feelings.
“?”
The two women exchanged glances before smiling.
Children and their innocent words.
“Let me guess… is it your big brother?”
Keqing teased.
Nahida didn’t hesitate.
She nodded.
He was her sun—her most important existence.
“I want to be with him forever.”
The little white-haired girl spoke with absolute seriousness.
“Then you’ll have to grow up fast.”
Ayaka’s gaze softened, radiating warmth.
So this is what it feels like to have a daughter…
Master, do you want one…?
As they chatted, they turned a street corner.
“Sister Keqing, if we keep going, we’ll—”
Before Ayaka could finish, a familiar voice rang out.
“Sandrone, listen to me!”
Both Ayaka and Keqing froze.
The next moment, an elegant girl in a pristine white dress appeared, sitting in a wheelchair.
She noticed them—her lips curved into a playful smirk.
Behind her, a lively girl was still rambling about something.
And then—
Keqing halted.
Ayaka’s eyes widened slightly.
Yoimiya quickly shut her mouth, her face turning red.
“Heh…”
Only Sandrone lifted her gaze, smiling mischievously at Keqing.
“Keqing, is this a little sister you picked up?”
She deliberately emphasized little sister.
“…!”
Ayaka and Keqing’s smiles disappeared.
“You all…”
A soft, graceful figure stepped onto the street.
Hiiragi Chisato
“Ahaha… wow, there sure are a lot of people here today…”
Yoimiya sensed the suffocating atmosphere and quietly backed away.
This was out of her league.
“?”
Meanwhile, little Nahida blinked in confusion.
If she didn’t count herself, there were five women here.
And all of them…
Their sun was Ren.
The Little Grass God fell into deep thought.
