[Genshin Impact] A world where only travelers are alone

It was still early, even though there were still several hours before sunrise. He Que didn't know why she chose to go out at this time. But it was not until the cold wind in the early morning blew on her cheeks that she finally realized how stupid her behavior was.

Even if she went to Kamisato House now, there would be no way anyone would open the door for her.

Fortunately, some vendors were already preparing to open for business at this time, so Heque was not left with nowhere to go.

She stopped at a random snack stand. Coincidentally, Kamisato Ayato had also brought her here to try this before.

He Que didn't react at first, but the stall owner Zhishu recognized her first. He asked casually while busying himself: "Are you out so early? Things haven't been going well lately, so you'd better bring someone with you. By the way, where's the gentleman from before? Didn't he come with you?"

It took He Que a while to realize that he was talking about Kamisato Ayato. He tucked the hair that fell on his face behind his ears uncomfortably and whispered, "I guess... we broke up?"

Tomoki didn't expect such an answer and immediately felt embarrassed. In his heart, he slapped himself for being too talkative, but he still quickly handed over the food she ordered.

He Que picked up a piece and stuffed it into his mouth without much appetite, but he really didn't want to eat the rest. He unconsciously stirred it here and there with chopsticks and just stared at it in a daze.

This scene was really a bit ugly. Even Tomoki, who had just warned himself not to worry about other people's business, couldn't stand it anymore. He pulled the plate back and replaced it with a bottle of dango milk.

"If you can't eat, just drink something. There's no need to force yourself."

He Que smiled at him gratefully.

It happened that another customer arrived at this time. Tomoki no longer paid attention to the situation here and turned to deal with other customers. When he finished his work and remembered it again, He Que still had half a bottle of Tuanzi milk in his hand.

He felt a little helpless and couldn't help asking, "You look quite sad, because of the breakup with that gentleman?"

Before Kazuque could figure out how to respond, Tomoki had already sat across from her in a familiar manner: "If you're so reluctant to let go, why don't you just go find him and talk it out? Isn't that how love works? Someone has to bow down first."

He spoke lightly, but he didn't get to the point at all.

He Que was not good at rejecting other people's kindness, and he had no idea how to tell him the whole story. He had to continue listening anxiously until the sun climbed above the roof and it was the right time.

Given her understanding of Kamisato's family, it wouldn't be too presumptuous to visit at this time.

She breathed a sigh of relief and said goodbye to Zhishu, who had never stopped talking. "Thank you for saying so much, but I have made up my mind."

It was a very difficult decision, so difficult that she barely slept last night and was wandering outside in a confused state this morning.

Thanks to Tomoki's efforts to adjust the atmosphere and persuade her, she is no longer as nervous as she was at the beginning. At least she can knock on the door of Kamisato's house calmly.

——The person who opened the door was Thomas, whom I had just met not long ago.

"Miss Kujo, what are you doing..."

"Please excuse my intrusive visit." He Que hid his suddenly clenched fists behind his back and smiled politely, "I want to see the lord of the club. It doesn't matter if he's not here. I can wait here until he comes back."

Thomas keenly sensed the threatening implication of retreating in these words. After making sure that she was serious, he murmured, "I need to consult the head of the family." The implication was that he could not decide whether Kazuque could meet Kamisato Ayato.

Unfortunately, He Que is not going to sit and wait for death this time.

"Really? It seems that the shrine magistrate is here, that's great. I think given the shrine magistrate's courtesy, he wouldn't refuse to see his fiancée who rarely comes to visit."

Before Thomas could think of a way to refuse, she had already said the answer she had prepared early in the morning and walked in without allowing any room for refusal.

Things have come to this point, and Thomas has no choice but to let her go to Kamisato Ayato's study with a clear goal.

The only thing he could do was to give Kamisato Ayato a heads-up before he and Que actually broke in.

"Master of the house," he knocked on the door first, "Miss Kujo is here to see you."

The people in the room seemed a little surprised, and it was only after a while that He Que heard his answer.

"And Que? What is she doing here?"

He probably didn't expect that Heque was already standing at the door, and he wasn't so particular about addressing her. Thomas immediately coughed as a reminder: "Master, if there are no other questions, I will invite Miss Kujo in."

"No need for that. It's really inappropriate to meet guests in the study. I should take Miss Jiujo to the reception room."

Kamisato Ayato pushed open the door, his gentle eyes fell on Heque's face, and he smiled at her, so gently that it seemed as if the Kamisato family's rejection of her had always been Heque's own illusion.

He Que's breathing stagnated, and he lowered his head in panic: "It's up to the Society Commissioner to decide."

*
The preparations in the reception room were indeed very comprehensive; even the tea and pastries were He Que's favorite flavors.

After preparing all these, Thomas wisely stepped out, leaving the space to the two of them.

After noticing that she had only taken a bite of the Japanese confectionery in her hand, Kamisato Ayato hid the thoughtful look in his eyes and smiled, "Miss Kujo seems to have a poor appetite. Are these cakes not to your liking? If you don't mind, you can tell me the flavor you like, and the Kamisato family will prepare better next time."

He didn't expect to get a rejection.

"No thanks." He Que pushed the cake in front of him a little further away. "Master, don't worry about me. Besides, this is probably the last time I visit you."

"Miss Kujo means..."

"Master, I am here to cancel the engagement."

As soon as these words were spoken, the surroundings immediately became dead silent.
