There were many guests at the Regents Office today. Since his exclusive interview was published, in just one morning, several groups of people had come by to indirectly probe about his Sharingan. Even Yae Miko, Ei, and Nahida had come to ask about it, their faces full of curiosity.
On the continent of Teyvat, there are many intelligent races. Over the long passage of time, cases of interbreeding have occurred frequently, which naturally led to the emergence of certain hereditary conditions within some families.
Just like Diona of the Kätzlein family in Mondstadt and her father Draff; they are clearly a human family, yet they grow a pair of cat ears and a cat tail. One has to wonder what their ancestors did to cats to cause such a crazy outcome.
Besides that, people like Sucrose from Mondstadt, Tighnari from Sumeru, and Lynette from Fontaine all have similar situations. However, this was the first time they had heard of something like the Uchiha Clan, with a hereditary condition as powerful and dangerous as the Sharingan, so they were naturally very curious about it.
Someone even dragged Kuki Shinobu, the doctor, over, saying they wanted her to examine them to see if there was a way to treat their family's hereditary condition.
This fresh and unique line of thinking left Miyashiro unable to laugh or cry. Good grief, were they trying to make the Uchiha Clan's Sharingan go completely extinct?
Did they really see the Sharingan as a sickness in their eyes? Something that needed to be cured?
Er... although the probability of the Uchiha Clan producing madmen is indeed high enough to suspect there might be some serious illness, it surely shouldn't reach this level, right?
Miyashiro helplessly declined everyone's good intentions, then repeated the same script he had used to handle Ningguang. After that, most of the thin-skinned ones smiled and ran off.
But this tactic was ineffective against thick-skinned people, such as Yae Miko.
After hearing Miyashiro's teasing, she simply smiled wickedly and agreed. Right in front of Shenhe, she said, "Sure. It just so happens that Miyashiro's wedding is in a few days. Little sister Shenhe, I wonder if you could save a spot for me at your wedding? I'll just marry into the Uchiha Clan with you then."
Although everyone knew this was just Yae Miko's joke, the scene still left Miyashiro speechless.
However, Shenhe, standing to the side, heard this and said something shocking with a smile: "It would be an honor for us little sisters if Sister Yae Miko could join our Uchiha Clan. Since you have requested it, Shenhe will naturally comply. I will go make the arrangements right now."
Everyone present heard this and revealed kindly smiles, thinking Shenhe was just playing along with Yae Miko's joke. But Yae Miko's smile gradually froze, because she noticed that there didn't seem to be any hint of a joke in Shenhe's eyes. Furthermore, based on her understanding of Shenhe, she really wasn't the type of person who liked to joke.
This girl isn't actually serious, is she?
Thinking of this, a trace of panic arose in Yae Miko's heart. Although she had over five hundred years of cultivation, having transformed from a naive little fox who could be lured away by fried tofu into the cunning Guuji of the Grand Narukami Shrine, when it came to matters of the heart, she was a giant in theory but a dwarf in reality.
For Yae Miko, who liked to joke and tease others, a stubborn person like Shenhe was her natural enemy, because she would actually take your jokes seriously.
Yae Miko hurriedly stated that she needed to supervise the printing of light novels during the Irodori Festival and left in a rush.
Seeing the panicked expression and hurried pace as Yae Miko left, Miyashiro couldn't help but burst into laughter. This sight was truly satisfying; it seemed that there really was always something to keep everything in check in this world.
After sending away wave after wave of curious people, finally, only Miyashiro and his women remained in the Regents Office. Looking at the curious gazes of Shenhe, Sara, Eula, and Ayaka, Miyashiro thought it over and finally sighed, saying, "Shenhe, you stay. Sara, Eula, Ayaka, you all go back first."
As soon as Miyashiro said this, the expressions of Sara, Eula, and Ayaka changed instantly, as if they had been struck by a bolt from the blue, as if they had suffered a huge blow.
The three women's delicate bodies trembled slightly. Sara's eyes were full of confusion and disappointment, Eula's eyes instantly turned red, and Ayaka wore an expression of wanting to speak but holding back.
This action of Miyashiro undoubtedly widened the gap between Shenhe and the other three to an insurmountable distance. Shenhe was the one among them who had known Miyashiro the longest, was the Matriarch of the Uchiha Clan acknowledged by Miyashiro, and was now pregnant. Sara, Eula, and Ayaka could accept these differences.
However, when it came to secrets regarding the Uchiha Clan, Miyashiro actually still wanted to hide it from them and only let Shenhe know. This was something they found a bit hard to accept.
They were all Miyashiro's women, all members of the Uchiha Clan; this kind of gap was a qualitative change.
However, since Miyashiro had said so, they could only grit their teeth and accept it. It was just that the dejected expressions and feelings of loss on their faces were heartbreaking.
Seeing this, Shenhe also frowned slightly and said, unable to bear it, "Miyashiro, everyone is family now. This behavior of favoring one over the others is detrimental to the internal unity of the family. If there is something, just say it directly."
To Sara, Eula, and Ayaka, Shenhe's words sounded like the voice of heaven. While feeling infinitely grateful to Shenhe, the three of them looked at Miyashiro with faces full of anticipation, hoping he would change his mind.
Miyashiro glanced at Shenhe, then scanned Sara, Eula, and Ayaka. The women before him were all his beloveds, and he truly couldn't bring himself to be cruel. He sighed and said, "I am not favoring one over the other. I just wanted to wait until you have officially joined the family before explaining it to you."
"After all, the matter I am about to discuss concerns the greatest secret of the Uchiha Clan. If you are not truly family, I simply dare not reveal everything to you."
"Shenhe is currently pregnant and is about to walk down the aisle with me. Plus, as the Matriarch of the clan I decided on long ago, she has already completely boarded my pirate ship and cannot leave."
"But as for you three, although I have already been intimate with you, strictly speaking, I am still in the stage of free dating with you all."
"The time you have been with me is still very short, and perhaps your understanding of me is still at a superficial stage. Besides, you know what kind of person I am—very lecherous. In less than a year, I have already been with you all, and perhaps there will be new people joining in the future."
"If in the days to come you cannot stand me, leading to a breakdown of our relationship, you will still be able to have a clean break and part ways amicably if you wish to leave."
"But once you hear my secret, leaving in the future will not be an easy matter. Regarding this point, are you prepared in your hearts?"
