Soft pink hair cascaded over her shoulders, and Ichinose Honami’s sweet scent lingered at the tip of Uesugi Gen’s nose.
It made his heart waver—tempting him to lower his head and steal another kiss on her smooth forehead.
Wait, no!
Uesugi froze for a moment. Something felt off.
He had come here to play games—so how had things escalated to this?
What exactly led to this situation?
Slowly, he lowered his head...

Her sleeping posture was peaceful, a stark contrast to the energetic and lively expression she usually wore. She looked soft and adorable.

Uesugi softly called her name.

Ichinose’s signature sparkling-eye assault. Every time, he ended up surrendering under this move, forced to agree to her demands.

"It’s like he’s the type of immortal Liyue people talk about—distant, aloof… someone who’s hard to approach."
Finally, she added, "Oh! And there’s that whole… ‘untouched by mortal concerns’ vibe!"
