"What? You want to go back to Liyue? No! Absolutely not! If you leave, what will happen to the Regent's Office?"
Inside the Regent's Office, Ayaka firmly opposed Yucheng's attempt to throw in the towel. Was he kidding? Given the Regent's Office's current standing and power, no one besides Yucheng could keep it under control-not her, not Kokomi, and not Sara.

Huh? Everyone looked at
