Yae Kaslana

"Dong Moxuan... Jun,"

Looking at the young man before her, Yae Sakura forced a smile.

"I don't know what you're talking about, but I have a feeling you're saying something really bad."

Dong Moxuan "..."

"Cough, cough, I was just kidding!"

He chuckled dryly and scratched the back of his head, not wanting to dwell on the topic.

After all, a joke like that is good once or twice, but overdoing it isn't funny.

"I know you, Yae Sakura, my great-great-great-great-great-great... grandmother!"

Yae Sakura "..."

"Great... great-grandmother?"

Yae Sakura's fox ears perked up, startled by Dong Moxuan's words.

What the heck was a great-great-great-great-great-great... grandmother? She was still a maiden herself!

Don't go around claiming relatives!

But to her surprise, the young man before her earnestly began to explain.

"That's right, great-grandmother. I am your descendant. Great-grandmother, you don't know this, but the other great-grandmother, Kallen, already had your child before sealing you away. That child is my ancestor. Dong Moxuan is actually a pseudonym. My real name is Yae Kaslana!"

Looking at the girl before him, Dong Moxuan was earnestly spouting nonsense.

"Great-grandmother, I've finally found you!"

Yae Sakura "..."

The information was too overwhelming. She needed a moment to process.

Kallen was pregnant with her child before sealing her away?

But the most intimate thing she and Kallen had ever done was sleep in the same bed. They hadn't done anything else, so how could...

Wait!

That's not the point at all!

She was a girl herself. Even if she wanted Kallen to get pregnant, she didn't have the necessary equipment!

So...

She looked up at the young man before her, her expression blank.

Dong Moxuan "..."

"Alright, alright, don't look at me like that. Just a joke, just a joke! Grandma Yae Sakura!"

"...I'm not your grandma!"

"It's all the same. My mom taught me to respect elders. Especially centenarian grandmas like you!"

Yae Sakura "..."

What should she do if she suddenly felt like hitting someone?

"Dong Moxuan... Jun,"

Yae Sakura's expression turned grim.

"It's very impolite to casually discuss a girl's age!"

"...Got it, Sister Yae Sakura!"

Feeling a strange chill, Dong Moxuan immediately backed down.

Seeing this, Yae Sakura breathed a sigh of relief.

If this guy continued to be cheeky, she couldn't guarantee she wouldn't lose control and take action.

With that thought, Yae Sakura removed her hand from her sword hilt...

Wait, where was her sword?

Confused, the girl looked down and saw herself dressed in a pure white nightgown.

Yae Sakura "..."

Dong Moxuan "..."

"Xuan... Xuan Jun,"

Realizing what had happened, Yae Sakura's cheeks instantly turned crimson. She instinctively covered her chest like a shy young girl.

"What... what did you do to Sakura?"

"I didn't do anything extra,"

Looking at the girl's embarrassed and angry expression, Dong Moxuan instinctively raised his hands to show his innocence.

"I just changed your clothes. Your original ones were covered in mud and water. I've already washed them for you."

"This one you're wearing, I just changed it for you. I simply changed your clothes, and absolutely didn't do anything extra."

Dong Moxuan said this with absolute certainty.

Yae Sakura: "..."

Looking at the young man before her, Yae Sakura felt a surge of shame and anger so intense she wanted to die.

People from her era, especially those who were Miko, were naturally incredibly conservative. To have her body seen by a boy she'd just met, even with Yae Sakura's gentle nature, ignited a desire to kill.

However, the person in front of her was her savior. Even if he might have just coincidentally picked her up and brought her home, she couldn't repay kindness with enmity.

Besides, she was already a spirit who should have died long ago. Why should she care about such things?

With that thought, the blush on Yae Sakura's face faded, and her eyes held a hint of sadness.

"Then... should I be thanking Jun Xuan...?"

With a soft sigh, Yae Sakura's voice was weak, but she emphasized the words "Jun Xuan" particularly heavily.

"You're welcome, you're welcome!"

Dong Moxuan smiled and scratched his head, completely oblivious to the sarcasm in Yae Sakura's words.

Seeing this, Yae Sakura's expression faltered slightly. She gained a new understanding of this young man's shamelessness.

She didn't dwell on the recent events, but instead looked at Dong Moxuan and asked softly, "Where is this place? And Jun Xuan... why do you know so much about Sakura?"

What Yae Sakura cared about was actually the second question. She clearly didn't know the young man in front of her, yet he seemed to know everything about her, even about her and Kallen... This feeling of being completely seen through made Yae Sakura feel rather uneasy.

"As for where this is... I don't know either. It's probably the room of some girl who's become a death warrior,"

Facing Yae Sakura's question, Dong Moxuan first surveyed the room filled with a girlish aura before answering.

"As for why I know so much about Sakura... just assume I can predict the future and know the past."

After all, concepts like transmigration and games, while Dong Moxuan didn't intend to hide them, were troublesome to explain.

"By the way, Sakura, I remember you're very strong, right? Who beat you up like this?"

Looking at the girl before him, Dong Moxuan finally asked the question that had been lingering in his mind.

Seeing that Dong Moxuan hadn't directly answered her question, Yae Sakura frowned. However, she didn't press the issue further and instead answered his query.

"It was a girl wearing blue and white armor, holding a spear, with golden hair and blue eyes."

As she said this, Yae Sakura couldn't help but recall that battle.

"She... is very strong!"

"Durandal?"

Hearing Yae Sakura's description, Dong Moxuan instantly pictured the figure of a certain person known as Schicksal's strongest, the "呆鹅" (literally "silly goose," a nickname).

"Jun Xuan, you know that person?"

Yae Sakura sounded curious at Dong Moxuan's reaction. She couldn't help but be interested in the girl who had defeated her.

"Yeah, Schicksal's strongest Valkyrie! Who doesn't know her!?"

As Dong Moxuan said this, his expression held a hint of melancholy. After all, she... was also called Schicksal's strongest Valkyrie back then.

"Schicksal's... Valkyrie?"

Hearing this term, Yae Sakura fell into thought. She felt like she had heard this word somewhere before... That's right, it was Kallen. Kallen was also a Valkyrie of Schicksal...

"That's right, no wonder you were beaten so badly! You actually ran into her, you're really unlucky..."

Gently stroking his chin, Dong Moxuan looked at the girl before him and sighed softly.
