Su Han held the Raiden Shogun close as they descended slowly from the sky.
Seeing the puzzled expression on the beauty in his arms, he smiled and explained, "To feel the atmosphere of the festival, you have to walk through it, not just teleport. Take a look at the Inazuma of today. You haven't been out in a long time."
"Okay..."
Su Han didn't see it, but the eyes of the beauty in his arms flickered rapidly. The original coldness flashed with a trace of slyness. But when they landed, she returned to her usual natural state.
Hand in hand, the two walked along the path covered in cherry blossoms.
Under the bright lights, the enthusiasm of the merchants and tourists infected this Electro Archon. She hadn't expected that a simple celebration could make people so happy.
"Hawthorn ice cream..."
"Matcha flavored cake..."
Shouts of hawking came continuously.
Su Han took Ei to a stall and smiled. "Give me a blueberry flavored one..."
"Yes, customer... Ah? You are... Lord Pope!!!"
The shop owner here was a merchant friendly with Jean. Being the first to respond to coming to Inazuma, he naturally gained some benefits. And this geographical location was the best existence.
Seeing Su Han's appearance, the other party was obviously startled. And the people nearby also looked over one after another.
When they found that both Su Han and the Shogun were there, these people exclaimed one after another. Even the people of Inazuma put down their work and wanted to kneel on the ground to salute, but... an invisible wave of air prevented them from kneeling.
Everyone looked up in confusion.
Su Han said to them, "Today is a festive day, and also a day to celebrate Inazuma's rebirth... No etiquette and no Shogun, just enjoy the happiness of the festival to the fullest."
People were stunned on the spot. But when they found that this lord was holding hands with the Shogun, they all understood something.
Thus, people dispersed spontaneously. Although they were incomparably excited in their hearts, they dared not come forward to disturb.
Su Han handed the freshly made blueberry ice cream to the beauty beside him.
She tasted a small bite gently. Surprise revealed in her eyes.
"What is this... icy and cool, something I've never eaten before..."
"It's called ice cream, a little gadget for summer. I'm glad you like it. Let's go to the next stop..."
"Mm."
The two continued forward. Everywhere they went, they caused countless exclamations.
In the past, when the Shogun traveled, she was always accompanied by countless guards and a large number of followers. Of course... the weapon in her hand was naturally indispensable.
But seeing such an easy-going appearance today was a first for everyone.
Su Han was afraid she wouldn't like being watched, so he ordered Kamisato Ayaka to notify those vendors to just receive them normally. If anyone made a fuss, they didn't need to come tomorrow.
Under such a threat, the merchants gradually returned to normal.
And Su Han and Ei also enjoyed a rare warm time.
The desserts along the way were all things Ei hadn't eaten before. For her, a sweets lover, this place was simply heaven.
Most importantly, she enjoyed the time with Su Han very much. That was a feeling of equality and warmth.
The two walked out of Inazuma City and slowly came to the beach, looking at the smoke-filled food stalls.
Raiden Ei asked, "Are these barbecue? Today isn't a festival... why are there these?"
"If it was all sweets, those people would have gotten tired of eating long ago... These are teppanyaki! Inazuma is an island nation... seafood is very abundant, and for other countries, seafood is actually very luxurious. Like grilled fish... and teppanyaki... developing like this will attract more people to eat."
Su Han went over and ordered a portion of teppanyaki.
Spicy sauce. Paired with delicious squid. The taste was simply superb.
Ei fell in love with this taste instantly. It was completely different from the exquisite food she usually ate. She even asked for another portion after finishing. Su Han naturally satisfied her wish.
The sea breeze blew gently.
The two walked along the beach, moving forward all the way. Slowly, they came to a stall.
They saw a familiar figure busy working. Moreover, there were many people nearby. It seemed business was unusually good.
"Venti... why are you setting up a stall?"
Su Han was shocked.
The dignified Anemo Archon was actually setting up a stall like a merchant. It really refreshed his worldview.
And Raiden Ei didn't expect to meet an old friend here either.
The two gods looked at each other. Both were surprised.
Raiden Ei didn't expect the Anemo Archon to be a merchant here. And Barbatos didn't expect the Electro Archon to be holding hands with someone while shopping.
However, Barbatos was Barbatos after all. He reacted quickly.
"It's like this... there are too many fun things today, and the combined Mora isn't enough, so... I saw Inazuma has loans for setting up stalls, so I came to try. I didn't expect my fruit beer and barbecue to be so popular. I earned three thousand Mora in an hour!" Venti said with a grin.
He didn't have the majesty of a god at all.
Raiden Ei frowned slightly. Looking at his lazy appearance, she was a little unhappy. But... remembering that she wasn't pretending to be the Raiden Shogun right now, she didn't say anything.
She just picked up a skewer, left Mora, and continued forward with Su Han.
The surrounding people not only didn't reject this queue-jumping behavior but gathered even more. Because this was a place approved by Lord Raiden!
And Venti, seeing the number of customers surging, quickly laughed, "Everyone, don't rush... there's enough for everyone!!!"
Actually, occasionally guest-starring as a merchant felt pretty good.
In the distance, Su Han took the Electro Archon to a small island.
This place was not yet open. Because it would only become lively in a few days. However, the two of them could experience it in advance.
Arriving at the edge of the island, the two found a place to sit down and snuggled together. The food in their hands was put aside.
"How do you feel about tonight?"
"Very happy... and very glad... Although the people still look at me with fear, but... such an Inazuma is much better than the world I imagined."
When she was ruling, Inazuma was lifeless. The people dared not speak. There weren't many pedestrians on the streets. Like a lifeless cemetery.
But today's tour made Raiden Ei understand.
Such an Inazuma was what she liked. Laughter and joy. Happy people.
The Eternity she pursued was nothing more than this.
At this time, a person wearing white shrine maiden clothes and a mask slowly came near them.
"Eh? You guys came out too... I thought Ei would stay in Tenshukaku."
"I remember you can't come out for long yet..."
Su Han looked at Hanachirusato speechlessly. This adeptus fox really wasn't peaceful at all. Recovering a little strength, she started wanting to come out and play.
The other party took off the mask, smiled slyly, and said, "Of course I want to come to such a fun celebration... Only fools wouldn't want to play! It's just a pity there's no fried tofu today... can only eat some fish balls or something..."
Compared to Ei, who loved sweets, she preferred meatballs and fried tofu.
"I told you it's a dessert festival, how could there be fried tofu... hurry back to the Soul-Box to sleep, otherwise your soul body will have problems..."
"You're afraid I'll disturb you enjoying your two-person world, right? Tch... and you call us good sisters, simply plastic sisters..."
Although she said that, Hanachirusato still left.
Although the other party wouldn't slash her with the Musou Isshin like she slashed Yae Miko. But since Ei had untied the knot in her heart, let her enjoy the taste of love more. She wouldn't disturb them.
After she left, a vortex slowly appeared beside Raiden Ei.
The Raiden Shogun walked out expressionlessly.
She saw that the seat on Su Han's right was empty, so she sat there directly. Then she leaned her head on Su Han's shoulder and slowly closed her eyes.
Raiden Ei snorted lightly and leaned on his left shoulder.
The two didn't argue. But... Su Han could feel the Raiden Shogun's resentment.
That night, Ei pushed her out. She did the things. Now when it was time to enjoy the warmth, she was directly deprived. Can you say the Raiden Shogun felt good?
Su Han patted the Raiden Shogun's small hand. The three people's fingers overlapped, looking into the distance.
Rare warmth. Let's not quarrel over small things.
It seemed his method was very effective for the Raiden Shogun. Her tense body soon softened.
However, warm times were always short.
A night passed just like that.
None of the three spoke. But their hearts were closer. Su Han even encouraged Raiden Ei to come out more.
Like is like. Don't resist your own heart.
But she seemed to still have some scruples now, or was a little embarrassed.
Anyway, at dawn. Before she returned to the Plane of Euthymia, she said to Su Han, "The Shogun is me... I also have those feelings, so... don't worry about these. I remember how good you are to me..."
After speaking, she disappeared.
And Su Han returned to Tenshukaku with the Raiden Shogun. Not sleeping all night naturally didn't make them too sleepy.
While he and the Shogun were enjoying breakfast, Paimon's voice came from outside.
"Su Han, you're too bad! You were clearly going to hold such a grand celebration, why didn't you notify us earlier? It's simply hateful..."
With the voice, Paimon flew in front of him angrily. Her small hands on her hips, her face written with unhappiness.
After all, as the king of children, it was a pity that Paimon couldn't participate in the celebration immediately.
Su Han smiled. "So isn't this calling you back? Today... I'll give you a free experience coupon. Eating anywhere is free."
"Wow... so good! Su Han, I like you..."
Looking at the platinum card, Paimon instantly forgot what she just said.
And Lumine had black lines all over her forehead.
This traitor has really become refined!
