Before long, Makoto also pulled Raiden Ei to the base of the giant sakura tree on the deserted island.
On the table were tricolor dango, sakura mochi, and dango Milk.
All of them were Raiden Ei's favorite desserts.
"The first step to celebrating a birthday should start with desserts."
"How is it? A surprise, right?"
The reason Makoto didn't go to Tenshukaku to find Raiden Ei immediately was to prepare a surprise.
Raiden Ei looked at the table full of desserts, then at Makoto: "Are all these prepared for me?"
Makoto nodded lightly: "Of course, I hope you like them."
Raiden Ei picked up a tricolor dango and put it in her mouth, her eyes immediately lighting up.
It was even more delicious than the tricolor dango she had eaten at the snack stalls!
Raiden Ei looked up at Makoto and asked curiously: "Why are Makoto's desserts so delicious? At least... they really suit my taste."
Makoto smiled: "Nothing much, just practice makes perfect. If you want to learn, I can teach you."
"Okay, it's a promise."
Raiden Ei nodded vigorously. She also wanted to make such delicious tricolor dango.
But for now, her interest in tasting delicious food outweighed cooking.
"Why are you still like a child, with cream all over your mouth?"
"If those children in kindergarten saw you, they'd probably laugh at you, big sister."
As he spoke, Makoto picked up a tissue and carefully wiped the cream from Raiden Ei's mouth.
Upon hearing this, Raiden Ei immediately explained herself: "If there were other children here, I would definitely pay attention to my image at all times."
"What I mean is... if it's just me alone with Makoto, even if we don't speak, my heart feels at Warmth."
Makoto said with a smile: "Is that so? I have a similar feeling too."
"I cherish the time I spend alone with Ei."
Looking at Makoto's bright, spirited eyes, Raiden Ei felt her pretty face warm slightly.
She said in a voice too faint to hear: "Me too."
Makoto didn't hear this sentence. He stood up and looked back at Raiden Ei.
"So now, how about we go to Yae Publishing House to pick out some interesting light novels?"
Normally, Raiden Ei liked to do two things: enjoy sweets and read light novels.
Giving her a light novel as a birthday gift on Ei's birthday, she should like it.
"What type of light novels does Ei usually like to read?"
On the way to Yae Publishing House, Makoto turned to look at Raiden Ei beside him.
Because she always secretly read books alone, Raiden Ei was a little embarrassed when suddenly asked this question.
However, considering that the person asking the question was Makoto, Raiden Ei also gave her answer.
"I like to read sweet stories, stories where the male and female protagonists get to know and love each other."
Upon hearing Raiden Ei's answer, Makoto couldn't help but laugh.
When it came to reading novels, Raiden Ei and Raiden Makoto shared the same preference; both liked sweet stories.
It could be said that these sisters had a telepathic connection.
"I apologize, Yae Publishing House hasn't been selling sweet romance stories recently."
After learning Makoto's purchasing intentions, the Yae Publishing House editor also regretfully shook his head.
"Current readers prefer heartbreaking stories, even saying they only read 'knife' articles."
"Yae Publishing House has to cater to the market, so... I'm very sorry."
Makoto stroked his chin, falling into contemplation.
These days, sweet stories no longer had much of a market.
Makoto looked at Raiden Ei beside him and said apologetically: "Ei, there aren't the type of stories you want to read on the market right now... I'm sorry."
"It's okay," Raiden Ei shook her head lightly, "I still have many light novels, so it's fine if there aren't any."
Raiden Ei paused, then continued: "Makoto, can you tell me your story? I want to hear it."
"Okay, but the story is too long, where should I start?"
"Just start from your first visit to Inazuma."
