"Where... is this?"
"I don't know either, but it should have something to do with Inazuma."
Durandal was cooking nearby. Raiden Ei was a bit weak and needed something to help her recover.
Fortunately, she had put a lot of things in her personal space, otherwise, she would even have to find or make a basic pot, which would be too troublesome.
"Here you go. How do you feel, Raiden Ei?"
"I'm fine, thank you."
Taking the soup Durandal handed her, Raiden Ei drank it while observing her surroundings.
She remembered clearly fighting the Raiden Shogun in the consciousness space. During the final collision with the Raiden Shogun, something seemed to have gone wrong with the consciousness space, and the subsequent events were very blurry.
[Do you know what happened, Shogun?]
[Not quite sure. I lost consciousness with you. I don't know what happened either.]
After a brief pause, Durandal and Raiden Ei walked out of the cave together, observing their surroundings, trying to find some useful clues.
"This is undoubtedly Inazuma, but... it's different from the Inazuma I remember. Could it be..."
A ridiculous thought popped into Raiden Ei's mind. Durandal also reacted, quickly answering, "This is the Inazuma of the past, is that what you mean?"
Raiden Ei nodded, but was this possible? No, they were caught in a strange place at that time. Could it be a temporal turbulence? Did they end up in the past Inazuma because they were caught in it?
How many years ago was this Inazuma? There were no traces of human life at all. This was no longer measured in centuries, but probably in millennia.
"So that's it, is this what you meant by 'understand'?"
Durandal somewhat understood what Raiden Makoto's consciousness had told her. Did she foresee that she and Raiden Ei would come to the past Inazuma, and that's why she gave her the sacred sakura tree seed to plant here?
"Do you know something, Durandal?"
"Yes, while you were unconscious, I..."
She briefly recounted how Raiden Makoto had put part of her consciousness into Musou Isshin and also given her a sacred sakura tree seed.
After listening to Durandal's narration, Raiden Ei's pupils flickered a few times.
"Is that so? Is that how the sacred sakura tree seed was planted?"
"It was originally supposed to be planted by you, but due to an unexpected turn of events, she could only give the seed to me. The sacred sakura tree is very important to Inazuma, so we must plant it. Next, our goal is to find the location of Mt. Yougou. Although the terrain is not quite the same, with a little time, we should still be able to find Mt. Yougou's location."
If they searched from high altitude, they could probably find the location of Mt. Yougou in less than half a day.
So the problem with the seed wasn't a big deal. What bothered Durandal the most was what would happen after the seed was planted.
How... would they return to Inazuma? Could it be that they would have to live here until the time they were transported to the past? How long would that take?
Fortunately, the problem wasn't big. She was a long-lived species, so she didn't have to worry about time. She could also handle Raiden Ei's 'erode' problem. Even in the worst-case scenario, she could handle it.
"Let's rest today. Tomorrow, we'll go find Mt. Yougou and plant the sacred sakura tree seed."
Raiden Ei and the Raiden Shogun had been fighting for such a long time, consuming a lot of mental energy. Now that night had fallen, the matter of the seed could wait until tomorrow. For now, they should get some good rest.
"Hmm, got it."
Is this being alone? There's no one else, just the two of them here.
Although the environment was a bit poor, this was a good opportunity, a good opportunity to get closer to Durandal and cultivate goodwill!
[Our chance has come, Shogun.]
[It seems so. You must cherish this opportunity, you know?]
[You don't have to tell me.]
