Duanmu Ci chuckled, "Looks like I've struck gold?"

“That’s not necessarily true.” Wei Yue’s expression was somewhat strange. “Junior Sister has been at the shrine since she was a child. Even her studies were done by the priests and shrine maidens. She never went to school and had very little contact with the outside world, so her personality… well, how should I put it? In short, it’s very interesting!”

"Is it very interesting?" Duanmu Ci was somewhat skeptical.

Wei Yue nodded firmly, "Of course! I would never lie to you, we're friends, Duanmu-jun!"

Duanmu Ci felt an overwhelming urge to cut ties with someone who had just stabbed him in the back and then turned around and claimed to be his friend...

Friend, you idiot...

Just as Duanmu Ci was silently complaining in his heart, Terashima Moriyoshi returned, followed by a little girl.

Or perhaps, she was a witch.

The girl wore a white undergarment called a "hakuruban," over which she wore a well-fitting white robe embroidered with dark crane and pine patterns. The square white sleeves elegantly reached her knees, and below her waist was a scarlet "himehakama," which was then cinched with a bright red sash tied with a white hemp rope. She wore a pair of red-buttoned straw sandals... She didn't even take off her shoes when she entered the inner palace...

This is the typical attire of shrine maidens.

However, unlike ordinary shrine maidens who mostly carry a small folding fan in gold and silver, this shrine maiden carries a long sword at her waist.

The girl's long, beautiful right hand rested on the hilt of the knife.

Terashima Moriyoshi introduced her, saying, "She is my adopted daughter, Chiba Akishino-miya." This statement was primarily directed at Duanmu Ci.

Then he turned to the girl and introduced, "This is Senior Brother Yuan Weiyue... You know this one. And this one, this is Senior Brother Duanmu Ci, what do you think of him?"

The girl tilted her head and looked Duanmu Ci up and down. She seemed to think he was a bit weak, and her grip on the sword tightened involuntarily. She said in a clear voice, "I don't know, but it looks like I should be able to cut off his head with one stroke."

Duanmu Ci's face darkened.

Terashima Moriyoshi and Miyuki Nana.

Duanmu Ci suddenly felt so tired, so angry, and so eager to break off all ties with someone.

Wei Yue, you come out here! Is this what you meant by "very interesting"? Heh, it really is very interesting!

That's hilarious, my ass!
