While Yukari Yakumo clung to Shiraha, wondering how these usually powerful figures would use their strength in cooking, on the other side, in Eientei, a beautiful woman with white hair was quietly processing medicinal herbs.

It was Yagokoro Eirin who had returned. At this moment, Yagokoro Eirin herself did not know what was wrong, but she felt her heart beating very fast and she could not calm down.

"What's going on...? Why is my heart beating so fast...?"

Eirin Yagokoro put the medicinal herbs aside and walked towards the stove not far away. The water hadn't boiled yet, but Eirin Yagokoro just sat there watching the stove.

Hearing the occasional crackling sound, Yagokoro Eirin's gaze became somewhat lost. She didn't know what she was thinking, but she knew she was spacing out.

Yes, Yagokoro Eirin knew she was spacing out. She didn't want to, but she was spacing out with a clear mind, and she herself felt that this state was very strange.

She felt completely relaxed, a feeling she had never experienced before. It was as if her mind and thinking abilities had been completely emptied.

"Yonglin, in the endless years, anticipation is a rare thing; you must cherish it..."

This is what Kaguya Houraisan said to Eirin Yagokoro when she set off for the Hakurei Shrine today. Eirin Yagokoro still doesn't know what it means, but she feels that this sentence is very important.

Or rather... she didn't know if she was expecting anything, what she was expecting, why she was expecting anything, whether the expectation was good or bad, what the source of the expectation was... and... how her expectation would be fulfilled....

Eirin Yagokoro possesses the wisdom of the moon, yet she still doesn't know what expectation is. She excels at everything she does, and her wisdom and strength give her the right to be proud.

For some reason, Eirin Yagokoro thought of that scene in the kitchen again, and the sudden swelling brought her back to her senses. But when she came to her senses, she realized that the feeling didn't seem to exist.

Eirin Yagokoro sighed and said, "What's wrong with me? Why am I like this...?"

"Ah... the water's boiling..."

Eirin Yagokoro noticed that the kettle on the stove not far away had already boiled. She walked over, picked up the kettle, warmed the teacups with it, and then continued preparing to brew tea.

Just like her appearance, Yagokoro Eirin is noble, elegant, refined, and aloof. Her tea-brewing technique is also like a perfect match for her looks, figure, and temperament—it's a seamless and beautiful process, almost like art.

After setting the teapot down, Yagokoro Eirin breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Yukari should be here soon too..."

"Pfft... Kanako's power is being used to dry vegetables! Hmm... no problem, say one more! Just one! The last one!"

"You just said it was the last one..."

"Oh, this really is the last one. Name one more, and we'll definitely pick a swimsuit that will really catch your eye, okay?"

Hearing that voice, Yagokoro Eirin's heart inexplicably raced. She knew that Shiraha and Yakumo Yukari had arrived. Setting down her teacup and placing a hand on her heart, she said somewhat bewilderedly, "Why is my heart racing... I..."

"anyone there?"

"It's here! Hiss..."

Chapter 140 Yagokoro Eirin Gets Scalded, Eirin's Strange Thoughts (Please Subscribe~)

As Yagokoro Eirin was about to get up to greet him, she accidentally knocked over a cup, spilling steaming hot tea onto her hand.

An ordinary person would at most get a few small blisters from the burn, and Eirin Yagokoro's strength meant she was fine, but her fair skin was still a little red and had a slightly numb feeling.

"Huh? Is nobody here?"

"coming!"

Eirin Yagokoro didn't think too much about it. As a pharmacist, she naturally knew that her hand would be fine in a while. When Eirin Yagokoro walked to the entrance, she saw Yukari Yakumo holding Shiro's arm with a puzzled look on her face.

Upon seeing Eirin Yagokoro, Yukari Yakumo breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Phew... I thought you were drunk too, Eirin. You're still reliable, aren't you!"

Eirin Yagokoro said softly, "After all, there will be other people who might come to buy medicine. Eientei can't be left unattended. Welcome, Mr. Shiraha, to Eientei..."

Bai Yu smiled and said gently, "It's a very antique place, which really suits Miss Penglai Mountain and Miss Yagokoro."

Eirin Yagokoro smiled slightly, turned to the side, and gestured for her to come in, saying gently, "Mr. Shiraha, please come in. Just in time... Eh? Mr. Shiraha... What's wrong?"

Before Yagokoro Eirin could finish speaking, she saw Shiroyu frown and walk over. Yagokoro Eirin thought Shiroyu was going to come in, but Shiroyu grabbed her hand directly.

Even Yukari Yakumo was stunned by this action. What the hell? Did this big jerk know that he brought him here specifically to find Eirin Yagokoro? It can't be that amazing.

Eirin Yagokoro's heart raced, and she stood there, completely bewildered, her eyes filled with panic and embarrassment, but she had no intention of removing her hand.

Bai Yu frowned and said, "A burn?"

It was only then that Yagokoro Eirin realized what had happened. She looked at her fair little hand. Yagokoro Eirin's skin was indeed very fair, so the small patch of skin that had been burned was particularly noticeable.

Yukari Yakumo also came over and said, "Hey? Eirin, how did you get burned?"

"I wasn't paying attention to the teacup, and some tea spilled on my hand. It's alright, my strength will recover in a bit..."

Bai Yu said softly, "But during this time..."

"hiss..."

Bai Yu touched the back of Yagokoro Eirin's hand, and Yagokoro Eirin also felt a little pain. Bai Yu said softly, "Zi, find a clean, absorbent towel, and a basin of water, preferably cool, ice water."

"Oh!"

Yukari Yakumo looked at Eirin Yagokoro and asked, "Eirin, where's the basin?"

"If you keep walking in, you'll see an open door, and there's an empty wooden tub over there..."

"I know, I'm amazed you can still make such a basic mistake..."

After Yakumo Yukari walked over, Shiraha released Yagokoro Eirin's hand and said gently, "Fortunately, Yagokoro-san's strength is very strong and not within the human realm. Suddenly, it should have been enough for you to suffer."

Eirin Yagokoro asked in confusion, "Hmm? Mr. Shiraha, how do you know it will be terrible?"

"Hmm? It's simple. If someone with your strength can get burned red and feel pain, then an ordinary person would probably have to go to the hospital."

Eirin Yagokoro nodded and then said gently, "Mr. Shiraha, please come inside. Just as you said, I had just boiled the water when you arrived. If it were an ordinary person, they would probably need surgery..."

Is this something to brag about?

Eirin Yagokoro also looked away awkwardly and didn't say anything. It was the first time she had been lectured, but she suddenly felt... not bad? She didn't know if she was acting strangely.

After Bai Yu and Yagokoro Eirin entered the room, a faint fragrance mixed with a hint of medicinal scent wafted through it, giving Bai Yu a sense of calm and tranquility.

Bai Yu glanced at the overturned teacup on the floor and said helplessly, "So, Miss Yagokoro, you knocked over the teacup because you were in a hurry when we arrived, right...?"

"Um...."

Bai Yu sighed and said, "There's no need to rush, but as expected of Eientei, it really does have a faint medicinal fragrance..."

Eirin Yagokoro blushed and then said softly, "Um... Mr. Shiraha, don't you find it pungent?"

Bai Yu shook his head and said, "Of course not, quite the opposite. I feel there's a very calming fragrance. You probably know I personally quite like perfume, and this scent is very sophisticated..."

Eirin Yagokoro glanced sideways and whispered, "Um... Mr. Shiraha... this is actually my room..."

Bai Yu paused for a moment before smiling and saying, "That's it then. I was wondering why the smell was so familiar. I thought the whole Eientei area had this faint medicinal and refreshing fragrance... If it's Yagokoro-san's room, then it's normal..."

Eirin Yagokoro paused for a moment before asking in confusion, "Why do you say that?"

"It's probably because...Miss Yagokoro is a successful pharmacist..."

Eirin Yagokoro paused for a moment before smiling, then quickly said, "Mr. Shiraha, let me pour you some tea..."

Bai Yu shook his head and said, "No need, I can do it myself. Miss Yagokoro, please try not to use that hand for now..."

As Bai Yu spoke, he picked up the teacup he had been holding, took out a tissue from his pocket to wipe it, then rinsed it with water before pouring a fresh cup of tea and presenting it to Yagokoro Eirin.

Looking at the fragrant tea in front of her, Yagokoro Eirin suddenly felt a sense of relaxation she had never experienced before, which made her shoulders slowly relax.

“Mr. Bai Yu, you..”

"We're back! Bai Yu, how about this?"

Before Eirin Yagokoro could finish speaking, she saw Yukari Yakumo carrying a basin of cold water with a large chunk of ice floating on top. Shiraha smiled and asked, "Where did you get the ice?"

"A certain bar, I don't know which one, but if it's clean enough, maybe the ice cream would be better..."

"Hmm, quite clever~"

"Of course~"

Chapter 141 If you set aside your identity, you're just a young girl; Yonglin is a little timid (Please subscribe~)

Eirin Yagokoro looked at Yukari Yakumo in front of her and felt a strange feeling for some reason. Before she could say anything, she saw Yukari Yakumo take out a clean white towel from the gap.

After looking at it, Bai Yu nodded, rolled up his sleeves, and pressed a towel into the ice water. Yakumo Yukari and Yagokoro Eirin just watched, while Bai Yu remained expressionless throughout.

After a while, just as Yagokoro Eirin was about to speak, she saw Shiraha take his hands out of the basin, wring out the towel, place it on the ice floating on top, and then say to Yagokoro Eirin, "Miss Yagokoro, give me your hands."

Eirin Yagokoro paused for a moment before quickly saying, "It's alright, Mr. Shiraha, I just got a little burned, it's nothing..."

"hand."

Yagokoro Eirin felt a little inexplicably scared when she saw Shiroha looking so serious, and then she sat down and obediently handed him her hand.

Shiraha held Yagokoro Eirin's scalded hand in one of his hands. Yagokoro Eirin's hand landed in Shiraha's hand again, and the same feeling of her heart racing made Yagokoro Eirin feel confused once more.

Just as she was thinking about it, she sensed something and then, looking somewhat startled, asked, "What's wrong?"

Yagokoro Eirin suddenly felt a cool sensation on the back of her hand, a very comfortable feeling. However, she was still in a daze and didn't react. She was like a frightened little rabbit and immediately tried to pull her hand away.

But Bai Yu caught her immediately, chuckled, and said, "I didn't expect Miss Yagokoro to be so afraid of pain... It's surprisingly cute..."

Yagokoro Eirin was startled for a moment before realizing that Shiraha was scooping up ice water and rinsing her hands with it. The cool water felt very comfortable, and Yagokoro Eirin couldn't help but hum in response before she immediately came to her senses.

Yukari Yakumo had a playful look on her face, but Shiraha remained focused on the red burn on her hand, without a single other thought, just concentrating on rinsing it.

A serious man is handsome, especially someone as handsome as Shiraha. Both Eirin Yagokoro and Yukari Yakumo were somewhat mesmerized, but Eirin Yagokoro didn't know why, she just felt a little uncomfortable.

Am my hands ugly? Don't my hands feel soft? You don't even have any thoughts? You're clearly a complete jerk, yet you have absolutely no thoughts. Don't you know that's discouraging?

For a fleeting moment, Eirin Yagokoro had that thought, but she immediately dismissed it, saying gently, "Rinse it with cool water first; that will temporarily cool it down and help it adjust to the temperature..."

Eirin Yagokoro nodded. As a pharmacist, she naturally knew. After Shiraha took the towel off the ice, she smiled and said, "Miss Yagokoro, do you know what happens if you put an ice pack on your burn?"

"Hmm... umm..."

Before Yagokoro Eirin could finish speaking, the towel was placed on the back of her hand. The instant coolness brought an unprecedented sense of comfort to her scalded skin.

Eirin Yagokoro couldn't help but let out a soft snort, but immediately covered her mouth. This time, Shiroha, like Yukari Yakumo, had a smile on his face. Eirin blushed and whispered, "Um... I'm sorry, Mr. Shiroha, my apologies..."

Bai Yu waved his hand and said, "This is a normal reaction. If there were no reaction or sound at all, it would mean either the temperature isn't high enough or the person is expressionless and has no voice..."

Eirin Yagokoro nodded, hesitated for a moment looking at the towel on the back of her hand, and then said softly, "Mr. Shiraha... I have a question to ask..."

"what?"

Eirin Yagokoro seemed to be cautiously probing as she said, "Mr. Shiraha, why are you so concerned about this? My strength is so weak that it's hardly a burn; I'll be fine in a moment..."

Bai Yu tilted his head and said, "So getting burned hurts a lot?"

Eirin Yagokoro paused for a moment before whispering, "It's alright..."

"fine?"

Eirin Yagokoro whispered, "It hurts a little..."

Eirin Yagokoro didn't know what was wrong with her. She felt a vague sense of fear whenever Shiroha spoke in a slightly harsh tone. She couldn't believe that she would ever be a coward.

Bai Yu smiled and said, "So, Miss Yagokoro, did you find it effective after applying it?"

"have...."

Bai Yu nodded and said, "So, to make it recover faster and more comfortable, and to reduce the pain, why wouldn't we need to?"

Eirin Yagokoro said softly, "But...but I am..."

"A pharmacist? A powerful sage? An immortal being? A member of the formidable Eientei... Which of these are you referring to?"

"I...."

Bai Yu smiled and said, "Miss Yagokoro, there's something I'm not sure if I should say..."

"What? Please speak, it's alright..."

Bai Yu said gently, "Putting aside these identities, whether it's Miss Yagokoro or any other being in Gensokyo, she's just an ordinary girl. Women should treat themselves well; hands are a woman's second face, and so is skin..."

"Miss Yagokoro's skin is quite good, but she has a red mark left from the burn. Although it will heal later, I hope she can be more serious. After all, apart from her identity, Miss Yagokoro is just a serious, meticulous, and beautiful young girl."

Eirin Yagokoro blushed, her heart skipping a beat for no apparent reason. This was the only time in her long life she had ever heard such a compliment, and she felt...it was quite nice...In Eientei, there was a beautiful, quiet girl named...Yagokoro Eirin. She was the only man who had ever made her heart flutter with such a comment, and she liked it very much...

Yukari Yakumo suddenly leaned over and said, "What about us? We're the same, aren't we?"

Bai Yu pinched Yakumo Yukari's cheek before saying gently, "Yes, Yukari, you should also take better care of yourself."

"Isn't it because you're here...? Yonglin, let's go for a walk. You two chat, we haven't seen Eientei yet..."
