As a general, she cannot be a good daughter of Kage.

"...?"

The next second, a delicate trot came into her ears from far and near. The footsteps were not heavy, but on the contrary, they were very light. Just by listening, she could hear the footsteps of a woman.

She had somewhat guessed the identity of the visitor...

Sure enough... As she looked up, she found that the silver-haired girl with a single ponytail in the distance had opened the door of Shenli Mansion, holding a plate of tea sets in both hands. When she saw her appearance, her beautiful face as pure as ice crystals bloomed. With a sweet smile, he trotted towards her. In the process, the silver ponytail on the back of his head and the bangs on his forehead were floating back and forth cutely, very smartly.

"..."

Looking at the beautiful plain figure running towards her and the smile on her face, she couldn't help but understand why the general always liked to be with him. It was no wonder.

tata~

The footsteps got closer and closer, and finally the other person stood in front of her, with his back to the sun, so the other person's shadow shrouded her body.

"Huh... General, I've been waiting for a long time... the tea set for you."

Ayaka took a breath after standing still, raised her arms and offered the tea set with both hands.

"Thank you... I'm done."

Ying didn't say anything when he saw this, he simply took it and then stood up.

"You're really...I'm at home, why should I ask Thomas to come and get it——"

When Linghua was about to complain to him, her eyes subconsciously met the other person's eyes.

"...!"

However, at that moment she subconsciously stopped talking. She felt something was wrong. This look in her eyes...could it be——

"Um...Is that...Kage-sama?"

She quickly stopped talking and asked blankly.

"Yes, it's me...I haven't been to your house for a long time, Linghua."

Kage didn't pay attention to the little coquettish-like complaints that the other party had just made. She knew that they were the other party's affectionate attitude toward her daughter. When she heard the other party recognize her, she showed a soft smile and chatted with him.

"Well...yeah, it's been a long time since I've been here. The house has changed a lot. It may not be what you're familiar with."

Ayaka resisted the embarrassment of admitting the wrong person, and skillfully suppressed the rosiness on her face. Her tone revealed politeness and respect for the person in front of her, but also a sense of intimacy. The intimacy refers to the fact that the other person is the mother of her childhood sweetheart, and they are each other. It's also quite familiar; and respect refers to the noble god who is the rice wife.

She grasped this degree very well.

"It doesn't matter... things don't stand still, they always change. Maybe this is also a kind of charm, right?"

Ying looked at the beautiful scenery around him and felt inspired.

"...Well, do you...like it? This scene of change."

Linghua gave him a nice smile, and then asked softly.

"…like."

After seeing her smile, Ying understood what the other party meant. He shook his head fondly and followed the other party's intention.

"Hehe... Well, that's good."

Ayaka also smiled with her.

"By the way... where is the General? Are you the only one coming to the mansion?"

Ayaka asked keenly.

"General, she... is feeling a little sick and is going back to the pavilion first."

She hesitated before speaking out. Seeing the other party's concern, she couldn't bear to lie. Although the general might blame her later, it's just that 'return to the pavilion' was a lie. The other party was resting in the Pure Land.

"Is it a headache?"

Ayaka asked.

"...? Why do you know?"

She asked in confusion for a moment.

"Ah...that's right. The General mentioned this symptom to me when she came to the mansion a few days ago."

Linghua lowered her eyes and touched the lines of the folding fan, and said in a low voice.

"That's it... By the way, do you have any clue? Her symptoms..."

Ying's eyes lit up after hearing this, and he hurriedly asked the girl in front of him, as if he was placing his hopes on her.

"Um... I'm sorry... Ayaka doesn't know. The general is a doll and by rights he shouldn't get sick..."

Linghua lowered her eyes and shook her head guiltily, her voice becoming a little weak.

"...Huh, you don't know what to do, what should I do?"

Her hopeful heart dropped and her expression darkened.

"Master Kage...I..."

"It doesn't matter. You don't need to blame yourself. This is not your fault. Besides, even I am a little bit at a loss for this kind of thing."

Shadow sighed and reassured her.

"..."

Linghua didn't answer, and looked at her with her jade lips pursed, her eyes full of worry for the general.

Seeing this, Ying smiled tenderly and raised his hand to touch the other person's head.

"I will convey your feelings to her later."

"……///Um."

After being touched by her, Ayaka's face turned red and she nodded obediently. She put her hands in front of her and held the closed folding fan back and forth, as if instead of the hem of her skirt.

"I will conduct a comprehensive check on her later, so there is no need to worry."

After Ying finished speaking, he planned to turn around and leave, taking the tea set with him of course.

"Um...I'm sorry to trouble you, Master Kage."

Linghua quickly followed her to the gate, looked at her back and bowed.

After the other party left...she slowly stood up, biting her lower lip lightly between her teeth, and her eyes trembled with a certain kind of water.

General...My lord...

She murmured the other person's name in her heart, and tightened her palms holding the folding fan. She took a few steps back and forth in front of the door as she was accustomed to. She felt that at this critical moment, Ayaka Kamali couldn't help her at all, and a flash of light flashed across her face. Unwilling to do so.

"Huh... I can only believe Master Kage."

Such a whisper.

Chapter of the People of the World~Xuyu Baimeng: Chapter 23: Smelly girl, be honest with me!

After bidding farewell to Ayaka, Kage returned to the base of Kamizakura along the original path. At this time, Kage did not immediately return to Furuyama. Instead, he stopped for a moment and focused his attention on the Pure Land Lieutenant General.

"General..."

Called the other party softly.

【…】

But no one answered.

"...General?!"

Her heart trembled, and then she called again, this time her tone became urgent, or better yet, panicked.

[...I'm fine, I just...slept. 】

The general in the Pure Land was kneeling on the ground, looking weak and comforting his mother who was worried about her.

"Hold on..."

Ying pursed her lips and asked the other party to hold on. She originally wanted to take the other party directly back to the castle tower for investigation, but the other party disagreed and still let her concentrate on dealing with the monsters and let her not worry about herself. After arguing for a long time, she couldn't get over the other party. The child's stubborn temper was exactly the same as hers, so she had no choice but to bite the bullet.

[Phew...don't worry about me, Ying...I can still hold on. 】

The general may have sensed what she was thinking at this time, so he spoke to comfort her again.

"...How can I not worry about you like this? Don't force yourself on others, you stinky girl."

When she heard this, she couldn't help but scold him in a warm and angry tone, but not harshly.

[Excessive...I don’t stink. 】

After the general heard this, he couldn't help but retort like a child.

"Huh...you~"

I really convinced her. Only then did she realize how troublesome a stubborn character is. If you don't follow the good ones, you have to follow the bad ones. It's true.

Putting these things behind and getting down to business, he returned to Gushan. However, the old man in front of him was now translucent, as if he would disappear in the next second.

Seeing this, she quickly stepped forward——

"Oh... is the General back?"

The sound of her footsteps reached the other party's ears clearly. After hearing it, Gushan immediately turned his front towards the direction of the shadow. This skill of identifying the position by listening to the sound was considered too proficient.

"Well, it's me...are you okay, Furuyama?"

she asked concerned.

"Uh hehe... I'm sorry, General. I'm in a bad shape right now. I might have to leave."

Gushan touched his body. He didn't feel any fear or even panic. He just smiled with relief and his tone was relaxed.

"It doesn't matter...you still have time, how about you at least have a drink with me before you leave?"

asked Shadow.

"Haha... Since it is your request, how dare I disobey it? Have you brought the tea set?"

This sentence also aroused Gushan's last interest and determination to persist a little longer, so he solemnly nodded and agreed.

"I'm tired, and I want you to make tea."

After Ying saw that he was interested again, the corners of his mouth raised slightly.

"It's okay, it's okay... This is my job. It's my honor to make tea for you."
