Shh, Be Good [Sentinel and Guide]

[Laid-back, easygoing guide x tsundere, pure-hearted sentinel]

Si Yu first sees the legendary S-rank sentinel on the news. The woman on screen is strikingly beautiful, and her well-tailored sentinel uniform perfectly outlines her tall figure.

She is the most powerful sentinel in the Tower. To Si Yu, their paths should never cross.

Their first meeting is on a chaotic battlefield.

After the fighting, the air is thick with blood and hostility.

"Hello. Do you need guidance?"

The powerful sentinel glances at Si Yu and answers coolly, "No."

Several months later, the same scene unfolds again.

After giving it some thought, Si Yu decides not to approach and risk another rejection. Instead, she goes to ask someone else.

But just as she is about to pass by the other woman, she feels a slight tug at her trouser leg.

A miniature white lion spirit form is huffing as it clings to her pant leg. Its owner's ears are faintly red, and her voice carries a hint of barely perceptible hurt.

"You... aren't going to ask me?"

The sentinel-guide setting is based on one found on Baidu, with some random additions.
