It's only natural that Ran Yakumo, as her shikigami, would help her master with her work.
What else would she need a shikigami for?
Yukari Yakumo thought indignantly.
But on the surface, she maintained her smiling demeanor.
"Since Princess Kaguya has everything under control, I can rest assured. I need to continue patrolling Gensokyo, so I won't disturb Princess Kaguya any further."
With that, Yukari Yakumo immediately slipped into a gap.
Kaguya Houraisan pouted.
Yukari Yakumo, that old hag, only knew how to say pretty words.
What do you mean, "continue patrolling"? Isn't she just going to go and spy?
And when she said she wouldn't disturb her, it actually meant she sensed Eirin Yagokoro had returned to the Eientei.
If she stayed here any longer, she'd only be met with a cold shoulder, and might even get beaten up by Eirin Yagokoro and herself working together, which was why she was in such a hurry to leave.
Meanwhile, Eirin Yagokoro, who had just returned, sensed Yukari Yakumo's presence in Kaguya Houraisan's room and immediately rushed in.
After a quick scan, she saw that Yukari Yakumo had left. Eirin Yagokoro then turned her attention to Kaguya Houraisan.
"Your Highness, what was the purpose of that Boundary Youkai coming here?" Eirin Yagokoro inquired.
"Nothing much, my man just came over for a bit and almost scared that old hag Yukari to death," Kaguya Houraisan replied nonchalantly while playing a game.
"Oh, I see..." Eirin Yagokoro nodded slightly, then suddenly sensed something. She whipped her head around to look at Kaguya Houraisan, her pretty face filled with astonishment.
"Your man?! Your Highness, you're in love?!"
"When did this happen?! How come I didn't know?"
Kaguya Houraisan lived a life where she barely left her room, spending her days playing games. She only left her room occasionally when Fujiwara no Mokou came to pick a fight with her.
When did such a homebody meet a man?
And when did men appear in Gensokyo? What kind of man could capture Kaguya Houraisan's heart!?
"It happened just these past few days."
Upon hearing this, Eirin Yagokoro suddenly noticed that Kaguya Houraisan's room had been tidied up.
And judging by her attire, she wasn't in her usual messy state.
She had clearly taken the time to wash up and dress up.
It was evident she was meeting someone important.
These actions all pointed to the fact that Kaguya Houraisan was indeed in love!
Damn it! Which pig managed to sneakily snatch the cabbage she had meticulously cultivated for years!
Upon learning that Kaguya Houraisan was in love, Eirin Yagokoro's heart was filled with a mix of emotions.
Teyvat World.
Su Luo, who was in Mondstadt, sneezed suddenly.
"Achoo!"
"Hmm? Are you catching a cold?"
"You should take better care of yourself. It's the middle of winter where you are, yet you're only wearing a thin long-sleeved shirt. What if you actually catch a cold?" Paimon asked with concern.
"It's nothing, someone's probably just thinking about me," Su Luo's eyes flickered with a hint of thought.
At his level of strength, he didn't believe he would be mistaken or actually be catching a cold.
Someone must be thinking of him.
He just didn't know who it was, or if it was a good thing or a bad thing.
"Your situation here doesn't seem too good. Stormterror hasn't been dealt with yet," Su Luo said, looking at Lumine in surprise.
He had used Clairvoyance to observe Mondstadt's environment for a while.
The elemental energy was chaotic and violent, with fierce winds howling.
The entire city of Mondstadt was enveloped in a hurricane.
It was clear this was due to Dvalin.
However, Lumine had been in the Chat Group for at least two to three months.
How could she not have resolved the Stormterror incident in such a long time?
"Don't even mention it. I deliberately took a long detour to avoid Venti and Dvalin when I first came to Mondstadt, precisely so I wouldn't disturb Venti's efforts to pacify Dvalin's heart."
"Over two months have passed since then, and Mondstadt remained peaceful. I thought Venti had successfully helped Dvalin overcome the Abyss Power's corruption. Who would have thought that a few days ago, Dvalin would still transform into Stormterror and attack Mondstadt."
Speaking of which, Lumine's face turned into a bitter gourd.
"Look on the bright side, this is an opportunity for you to take on a quest and earn some points from the Chat Group," Su Luo comforted her.
"Are you interested in participating?" Lumine asked with anticipation in her eyes.
Putting aside everything else, as long as Su Luo was here, he would basically cover all the food and drink expenses.
Just like this afternoon tea, Su Luo was treating.
And he was a real big spender.
If he could be pleased, even a little bit of treasure leaked from his fingernails would be enough for her and Paimon to squander for a year.
"I'm not interested in fighting Stormterror, but I can come over here to play for a while and find some fun."
While looking for fun, he could also bind some special individuals from Teyvat.
This was a truly significant matter for him.
However, for now, he would first have his collection space record the world coordinates of Teyvat.
With that thought, Su Luo sensed the situation within his space.
Inside, he saw Wolf's Gravestone, Amos' Bow, and even Ruin Guards, all appearing within it.
"Things are getting interesting," Su Luo's face broke into a smile of great interest.
After all, his collection space could automatically replenish items that were consumed.
This meant he could completely use combat machines like Ruin Guards and Ruin Graders as a swarm-like force, similar to a Lich's Cataclysm!
Endless combat machines, flying in the sky, walking on the ground, even crawling underground and swimming in the sea.
It had to be said, the variety of combat machines in Teyvat was quite comprehensive.
After recording Teyvat's world coordinates, Su Luo followed the same procedure, successively traveling to the worlds where Wang Xiaomei, Frieren, and Saeko Busujima were located.
Although the worlds where Wang Xiaomei and Saeko Busujima resided didn't have powerful divine artifacts or spiritual medicines.
However, by recording the world coordinates, when he later obtained the ability or divine artifacts to travel between worlds, he could travel independently through these world coordinates.
Instead of relying on the Chat Group's power.
After completing all this, Su Luo returned to the Type-Moon world.
Just then, there was a knock on Su Luo's door.
"Come in," Su Luo said.
Su Luo sat up.
He knew his grand meal was about to arrive.
As his voice fell, Irisviel pushed the door open and entered.
"Um... I want to join your Familia, what should I do?" Irisviel's cheeks were flushed, and she appeared shy and hesitant.
In reality, she had secretly observed the steps for signing a Familia Contract when Su Luo had signed one with Justicia.
She knew how to sign the contract.
However, her true purpose was not for that.
It was simply because, as a girl, it was difficult for her to speak directly.
Therefore, she thought of other ways to express her intentions to Su Luo.
Signing the Familia Contract was merely a means to achieve her goal.
Seeing the shy Irisviel, Su Luo smiled knowingly.
"Where do you want the contract to be signed?"
"Um... wherever you like."
"Alright then, I'll do it as I see fit."
Time flew by.
It was midnight.
A new day had begun.
Su Luo tucked the sleeping Irisviel beside him into bed, then opened the Chat Group to start his daily sign-in.
[Ding! Congratulations to group member Su Luo for signing in and receiving 69 points.]
"My luck is much worse today, but it doesn't matter. My main method of getting stronger isn't through the Chat Group anyway."
Currently, he had bound a total of 42 special individuals. Even if his luck worsened in the future, he would gain 42 Traits every week.
And this number would only increase linearly.
Once he had more bound special individuals, even if his luck deteriorated, it wouldn't affect his strength progression.
Chapter 47 New Group Member Claudia
Thinking this, Su Luo opened the chat group panel to see how Wang Xiaomei and the others were faring today.
[Ding! Claudia has joined the Chat Group.]
[Su Luo]: Oh wow, a new member joining at this hour.
[Wang Xiaomei]: This time is actually pretty good. Back then, Kaguya Houraisan joined the group at an even more ungodly hour. Three or four in the morning, she spammed the chat right after joining, waking me from my sleep. Thinking about it now still makes me so angry!
[Kaguya Houraisan]: What's wrong? Isn't it normal not to sleep at three or four in the morning? Are you even young, sleeping so early?
[Saeko Busujima]: So, the new member joining at this time is still awake then.
[Lumine]: After being silent for so long, maybe she's observing the situation.
[Kaguya Houraisan]: Isn't that normal? If a chat panel suddenly appears before you, telling you it's a chat group connecting all worlds, any normal person would be suspicious and observe the situation from the shadows. Only someone who believes it immediately would have a problem.
[Wang Xiaomei]: ...
[Su Luo]: ...My apologies, I have a problem.
[Kaguya Houraisan]: Sumimasen! (Kowt.jpg)
Just as Kaguya Houraisan had said.
In the world of The Asterisk War.
Inside the student dormitories of Seidoukan Academy.
A woman with golden hair, purple eyes, and mature charm sat on her bed, observing the panel that had suddenly appeared before her.
"What is this? Has my communication device been hacked?"
"Or perhaps I haven't woken up from a death dream yet." Many doubts swirled in Claudia's mind.
