Ye Minghe. | Arknights Enfield.

Yan greeted the guests with a warm breeze and the sound of bustling streets. Traditional buildings towered around them, and small shops and stalls lined the roads. For a first-time visitor, the local atmosphere might have seemed completely unfamiliar. The administrator had come to the region on business for the Hongshan Academy of Sciences. This time, he was accompanied by a girl he had met relatively recently. Their relationship was not yet close, but circumstances had led to her joining him on the journey. The greeter lingered. A tall man in the uniform of the Imperial Guard stood near the appointed place. He leisurely adjusted his fur cape, gently shaking it, as if noticing that the fur had become slightly disheveled in the wind.

• Looks like I kept you waiting a bit.
  Minhe turned to the new arrivals, a barely perceptible welcoming smile appearing on his face.
  — Ye Minghe. Captain of the "Tame Sky." Glad to finally meet you in person, Administrator.
  He exchanged a few words of greeting with him, after which he turned his attention to the girl.
• And you, I suppose, are accompanying him?

His gaze lingered briefly on the stranger. Minhe didn't press her with questions, giving her the opportunity to introduce herself.

"I apologize if this question seems too direct. I just don't recall meeting you before."
The man bowed his head slightly.

"Well, I suppose we'll have another opportunity to get to know each other better. I'll accompany you during your stay in Yan."
He made a small gesture towards the street.
"There are quite a few interesting places here. If you have some free time, you might want to take a little stroll. But first, I suggest you take care of some academy business."
