In the forest guarded by Inazuma, a girl dressed in military uniform and wearing a tengu mask walks through the mountains.
And place the fruits that can be preserved for a long time in the package on the stone where the fox demon often comes.
It was summer, and the cicadas were chirping noisily, but this did not dampen the girl's spirits.
After getting away from the stone, the golden eyes glanced at the demon foxes who were picking up the fruits and couldn't help but reveal a smile, but it was quickly covered up by calm.
"Help! A Hilichurl is killing someone!!" A childish boy's voice suddenly came from somewhere, causing the girl to tremble and transform into a bolt of lightning as she rushed towards the source of the sound.
Meanwhile, on the other side, a cute little boy with tattered clothes but exquisite features gripped a wooden stick, wary of the three Hilichurls in front of him, feeling as if a million Paimons were flying by.
He, Ning You, was an orphan working-class man. He had only worked three nights in a row, so how did he end up transmigrating the moment he closed his eyes?
It's one thing to transmigrate, but how did he, a grown man in his early twenties, become a cute little boy, and one that's irresistibly adorable?
It's okay that he's a cute little boy; at least his brothers are still around, and he can still be used in the future.
But can someone tell him why he suddenly appeared in front of the three Hilichurls?
"Kucha!" one of the fire-stick Hilichurls shouted, about to perform a set of Fire God Rakuro for Ning You with his burning wooden club.
"A thousand bolts of lightning!!" Just as the Hilichurls were about to approach Ning You, a bolt of lightning as thick as a bucket descended from the sky and sent three Hilichurls flying.
After being blasted away, the Hilichurls covered their wounds and fled in a sorry state.
Ning You was left staring blankly at the still-childish girl in front of her.
"Kujou Sara!?" Ning You recognized the girl at a glance.
In her previous life, Ning You often played Genshin Impact, and her favorite character was Kujo Sara, the number one healer in Teyvat.
"Little brother? Are you hurt?" Sara's tone wasn't as serious as usual.
After all, the person in front of her was just a cute little boy, and she couldn't speak to him in the stern tone she usually used in the army, because it would be troublesome if she scared him to tears.
"N-nothing…" Ning You replied timidly, her eyes secretly glancing at the girl's figure in front of her.
From Sara's perspective, this pitiful appearance was so endearing that it stirred up Sara's deep-seated maternal instincts.
Sara's small hand couldn't help but gently stroke Ning You's face, feeling its softness and smoothness, making Sara want to touch it a few more times.
Ning You then understood the general situation: she had transmigrated to Teyvat and encountered Kujo Sara, who had not yet fully grown up.
As a helpless little boy, if he wanted to survive, he could only rely on Kujo Sara in front of him.
Based on Ning You's understanding of Sara, she is a soldier who is cold on the outside but warm on the inside. As long as she is miserable enough, she can definitely cling to Sara's coattails.
"Big sister?" Ning You quickly got into character, blinking her big eyes innocently as she looked at Sha Luo.
Although I don't know what's going on, I'm just a child now, so I'll talk to Sara according to the rules of children. At the very least, I need to leave this forest first.
"What's your name? Where are you from? What are your parents' names? Do you know where you live?" Sara asked patiently, trying her best not to be as cold as usual.
"My name is Ning You, I'm from Liyue, I have no… parents, I… don't know my home anymore…" Ning You said, feigning sadness.
His current appearance is very deceptive; at least Sara has begun to feel sorry for him.
"Is that so…then how about I take you back first, big sister? We can talk about your family matters slowly?" Shaluo comforted her softly, unable to resist gently pulling Ning You into her arms.
The current Saro hasn't fully evolved into the number one milk cap in Teyvat yet, but it's still quite large. Ning You buried her face in it and could only smell the rich milky aroma.
Saro didn't think there was anything wrong with it, taking it as a child being affectionate, and gently carried Ning You away from the Guardian Forest.
Perhaps because her body had shrunk, Ning You quickly fell asleep on Sha Luo's milk foam.
A small hand was still grabbing at the corner, which made Sara's body tremble.
But seeing Ning You's sleeping face, that slight discomfort was dispelled by his adorable appearance.
Even fearing that Ning You wouldn't sleep well, he specially changed to a more comfortable position.
"Having gained Kujo Sara's favor, the Succubus System is activating…"
Suddenly a mechanical voice came, but Ning You was already asleep and didn't know that his cheat had been credited.
Upon returning to Inazuma Castle, many patrolling soldiers greeted Sara. In the army, any unit led by Sara would show respect to this aloof officer.
Unlike other generals who prefer to strategize behind the scenes (and slack off), Sara prefers to do things personally. Whether it's surveying battle routes, formulating training plans, or selecting weapons and armor, Sara will do his best in anything that concerns his subordinates.
During regular martial arts drills, Sara's archery skills are the most dazzling star in the army. Her efforts, which are more than ten times those of ordinary soldiers, have silenced many who had reservations about Sara's female identity and age.
On the battlefield, Sara was often the one at the forefront, leading his men to victory with his heroic bearing and indomitable fighting spirit.
After the storm subsided, she would personally visit the wounded soldiers and reward them according to their merits. Almost nothing she handled was ever flawless.
Every little thing was seen and remembered by his soldiers. To them, Kujo Sara was the soul of the army.
This usually cold-faced boss was now carrying a small child back to the city.
This inevitably made the soldiers a little confused, but the doubts were quickly dispelled.
After all, she's Kujo Sara; how could she possibly do anything illegal?
Sara did not live in the Kujo family's mansion, but in another residence that was bestowed upon her by the shogun.
Perhaps out of concern for Ning You or because she was worried he was hungry, Sha Luo did not immediately arrange accommodation for him, but instead carried him back to her own home.
Sara lived a very simple life, and the servants in her household were only accepted because her adoptive father gave them to her and she couldn't refuse.
However, Sara usually handles chores like cleaning by herself, considering it a form of spiritual practice.
"My lady." The servants in the house were all old servants of the Kujo family, all women, quick and efficient and extremely loyal, and they treated Sara with great respect.
"Go and prepare some food, preferably something the child likes. Oh, and… what does the child like to drink? Buy some of that too." Sara can take care of herself without any problem.
But looking at Ning You, who was fast asleep in his arms, he was in a dilemma. Usually, the children in Hanamizaka would run away when they saw her.
Because of her military duties, Sara didn't have much contact with her children and had no idea what it meant to take care of them!
Ning You, still half asleep, felt a little hungry, so she groped around and found two big steamed buns, then opened her mouth, took a bite, and tore them open.
