Ying remained unmoved, maintaining her original posture, a sly smile still gracing her lips as she gazed at Ying with eyes full of mischief.
"You think by changing 'sin' to 'guilt,' you can make me change my mind? (^_^)"
"I..."
*Wuwuwu... I'll never flirt with death again... (t^t)*
Seeing the situation worsening, Ying also grew increasingly flustered. On the principle of stalling for time, she said,
"Then... that... we're going to the shrine later... at least wait until night in the room..."
As Ying spoke, she raised her hands to cover her small face, blinking her bright, watery eyes at Ying, attempting to melt her heart.
Of course, her efforts were in vain.
Ying let out a cold laugh, the corner of her lips curling into a devilish arc.
"Heh heh... no rush, there's still time before we go to the shrine, and besides, who was it who wanted to 'execute' me right here just now?"
"Uh..."
"Th-that was you first... Mm?! "
Ying weakly retorted, but before she could finish, she was silenced by Ying, who had been holding back for too long, her lips sealed against hers.
"Mmmph... wait... mm... don't... wuwu..."
Ying struggled slightly, but it was no use.
*Cough cough~ The following is what happened next: Aba aba aba.........*
Afterward, Ying lay weakly in Ying's embrace, completely drained of the strength to even stand, like a lamb awaiting slaughter.
Glancing at Ying's satisfied expression behind her, Ying pouted aggrievedly, looking as if she wanted to cry but dared not.
*Wuwu... Why can't I be the dom even though I can beat Ying? It's like 'ridiculous' itself opened the door to 'ridiculous,' taking 'ridiculous' to the extreme... (t^t)*
Having gotten what she wanted, Ying began the clean-up work, reaching out to stroke Ying's hair and comfort her younger sister, who looked utterly defeated.
"There, there~ Don't be mad at your sister anymore, okay?"
"Hmph!"
Ying snorted and turned her head away, ignoring the wicked girl.
Seeing Ying ignore her, Ying scratched her head awkwardly, her eyes darting around as she thought of a good idea and continued,
"Oh, don't be angry~ Actually, you enjoyed it quite a bit just now~"
Hearing this, Ying's pretty face instantly turned crimson. She glared at Ying furiously and shouted,
"Who enjoyed it?! I was practically suffocating from your kiss!!"
"Ahaha~ You're talking to me again, so you've forgiven me, haven't you? Hehe~ I knew Ying liked me the most~ (^～^)"
"Bah! I was clearly... clearly... clea..."
Ying wanted to retort, but the words caught in her throat. After a long pause, she mumbled dejectedly in a small voice,
"To say something so irrefutable... that's clearly cheating..."
As she spoke, Ying gently pounded Ying's chest with her fair and tender little fists. Because of Ying's words, her exquisitely sculpted face was now flushed, her expression that of a coy woman struggling to speak.
"Hehe~"
Ying chuckled and lowered her head, planting a kiss on Ying's adorable forehead.
"Who told you that your resistance stirred up my competitive spirit? But this time it was a bit too much, I promise I'll be more mindful of my limits next time~"
*Next time...*
Ying rolled her eyes and spoke resignedly,
"Sigh... forget it, just carry me back. Thanks to you, my whole body aches like it's falling apart."
"Hehe~ No problem, just leave it to your sister~ o(*≥▽≤)ツ"
Ying patted her chest and readily agreed. After all, it didn't hurt her, and given Ying's tsundere nature, opportunities to carry her were rare.
Soon, Ying carried Ying's delicate body and arrived at the agreed-upon location with Yae Miko.
"Oh?"
Seeing Ying's lifeless expression, Yae Miko asked with a hint of schadenfreude,
"What happened? Could my puzzles have tired you out to this extent?"
A sharp '!' instantly appeared above Ying's brow. She quickly asked Ying to put her down, then looked at her resentfully,
"Hmph... Thanks to you, Ying had so much time to do as she pleased with me."
"Uh-huh~"
*Ugh...*
Seeing Yae Miko looking at her with an "I understand" expression, Ying quickly turned her head away, sticking out her tongue shyly.
*Cough cough... Honestly, why does my little sister say everything? We're not even real sisters. (￣へ￣)*
*Sigh... If she keeps talking, I'll really go from 'sister complex' to 'yuri.'*
*Ah... I guess there's no difference...*
"Hehehe~ Forget it. Since we have other matters to discuss shortly, I won't press this rather curious matter for now."
Yae Miko waved her hand with a smile and then looked towards the distant road leading to them.
"Hmm~ Judging by the usual timing, it should be about time for them to arrive~"
"Hmm?"
Ying instinctively looked in the direction Yae Miko was gazing. At the same time, a woman with a graceful demeanor slowly appeared within Ying's field of vision.
"Oh my? That person, even though she's a woman, she looks so cool! (✪▽✪)~"
A hint of envy flickered in Ying's eyes. After all, such an aura was something she yearned for but couldn't achieve. She could only be fierce at very rare times.
Yes, especially when facing her host's sister, she truly became a demure, little wife.
"Hmm... hmm?"
*Pah pah pah pah! You're the little wife yourself!!! Σ(|||▽|||)*
*Heh heh~*
Ying's shy expression was noticed by Ying, who, misunderstanding, pouted displeasedly.
*Hmph... Fine, you're openly infatuated with another woman in front of me. It seems I didn't kiss you enough just now!*
Then, she pulled Ying, who was secretly bickering with Paimon, into her embrace, watching the woman approaching them quickly with a vigilant gaze.
"Don't move! How dare you wanted criminals show yourselves so boldly at the shrine? It's one thing to be at the shrine, but to stand your ground and provoke the Shogunate forces when you see them? What? Do you think the Shogunate forces can't handle you?!"
"Mmmph mmmph..."
After struggling, Ying finally managed to free her little head from Ying's chest. She turned to the woman who had just spoken and replied obediently,
"Um, sister, actually, if you want to be precise, aside from the Electro Archon, the rest of the Shogunate forces are indeed no match for me."
"You!"
The woman was taken aback and then retorted angrily,
"Hmph... You're just lucky enough to have had a few opportunities to spar with the General. I advise you not to get too carried away."
