と言うように

[zuotengdazuo]

「精霊専門の部隊ってーー具体的には何してるんだよ」
士道が問うと、琴里は当然と言うように眉を上げた。

Hi. What does と言うように mean?
Thank you.

 

[Toritoribe]

と is a quotation particle, and ように means "like/as if".

琴里 raised her eyebrows as if saying his question was understandable/reasonable.

Thank you! I previously thought というように was a set phrase, meaning "for example" here.
