"Makoto, are you saying you lost your memories? And then that little girl from the Kamisato Clan saved you?" Yae Miko felt, as she conversed with Raiden Makoto, that she was increasingly touching upon the truth of the matter.
"Yes."
"I seem to have been to Mt. Yougou before, and I have some impressions of the sacred sakura tree." Raiden Makoto nodded.
"I only remember now that I have a younger sister... but I don't know what she looks like, nor do I know who she is, but I know, I have a younger sister."
She had heard from Sayu that Yae Miko was the Guuji of the Grand Narukami Shrine and also a familiar of the Raiden Shogun. Given Yae Miko's knowledge, she should know quite a lot.
That was also the reason she did not hide anything in front of Yae Miko; she told those things to Yae Miko to find her sister, even though the Vision Hunt Decree had not yet been resolved, searching for her sister could not stop.
She knew that her sister was very important to her.
"Sister..." If the previous words only aroused Yae Miko's suspicion, then Raiden Makoto's current words were like a large stone thrown into a pool, causing Yae Miko to be completely shocked.
She could already confirm that the gentle and talkative Lady in front of her was that legendary God, that gentle God, Raiden Makoto.
Why Raiden Makoto, who had passed away five hundred years ago, would appear again, she did not know.
"What's wrong? Does Miko know something?" Yae Miko's shock was completely displayed on her face this time, which made Raiden Makoto a little confused; she felt that Yae Miko might know something.
"Have your memories been completely lost?" Yae Miko looked at Raiden Makoto thoughtfully, her expression returning to normal.
"Yes."
"But occasionally, some scenes from the past flash back."
"Miko, do you know if there was a war in Inazuma before? Not the war against the Great Serpent Orobashi, but another war."
"That war, which seemed like the end of the world, with flames filling the sky and a crimson moon rising."
Raiden Makoto's subsequent words made Yae Miko increasingly certain that the Lady in front of her was absolutely that gentle God, Raiden Makoto.
Of course, she had heard of that war—the war that destroyed Khaenri'ah five hundred years ago. It was said that Raiden Makoto had also indirectly passed away because of the Khaenri'ah war.
But why would Raiden Makoto be resurrected?
"Let me tell you a story."
"The story takes place in Inazuma. It is said that thousands of years ago, Inazuma was still desolate, and in a thunderstorm, a pair of Twin Archons were born. They participated in the Archon War together, became the winners of the Archon War, and led the people to establish Inazuma."
"Because the elder sister was weak in combat, the elder sister had always been the one to devise strategies and rule the country, while the younger sister, who was strong in combat, became the elder sister's Shadow Clone, responsible for fighting."
"Five hundred years ago, a huge catastrophe occurred on the continent of Teyvat. The elder sister of the Twin Archons passed away because of that war, and the younger sister completely took over the elder sister's position, becoming the God of Inazuma."
"Miko, the Twin Archons you mentioned... are they the Raiden Shogun? There were two Raiden Shoguns in the past." Raiden Makoto was also very serious when listening to Yae Miko tell the story; she roughly understood.
"The elder sister."
"Her name is Makoto."
Yae Miko's story exploded in Raiden Makoto's heart like a bomb. She... looked so similar to the current Raiden Shogun. Was her sister... the current Raiden Shogun?
And she was the one in the story, the elder sister.
"So Miko means... my sister is the current Raiden Shogun, and I am, Makoto."
"Yes." Yae Miko nodded. "I originally just thought you were too similar to Ei, but now I know, you should be, precisely, Makoto."
"But why you would be resurrected... I don't know."
Yae Miko's words also made Sayu, who was on the side, widen her eyes. She stared blankly at Raiden Makoto, muttering: "So, Sister, you... really are the Raiden Shogun."
"Perhaps you were just born bearing the memories of Makoto." Yae Miko said seriously again, "Similar to the situation with Hanachirusato."
"Hanachirusato?"
"Five hundred years ago, Kitsune Saiguu also passed away because of this, and her memories turned into Hanachirusato."
"However, your situation is completely different from hers." Yae Miko's mind was still somewhat chaotic.
Raiden Makoto was actually the same. She could not imagine that she had turned into the Raiden Shogun. Was she also a God?
"If Ei knew of your existence, she would probably be very happy." After all, she was not a person of that era, so regarding the resurrection of Raiden Makoto, she was more shocked. Of course, she was also happy for her close friend, Ei.
"Ei, is that my sister's name?"
"Yes, Raiden Makoto, Raiden Ei, these are the two Twin Archons, and the names of the Gods are Raiden, Beelzebul."
"However, that person has now completely shut herself in the Plane of Euthymia; it is not so easy to see her."
Raiden Makoto was still accepting her identity at this moment. She had actually become the elder sister among the Twin Archons, Raiden Makoto.
"You mean, the current Raiden Shogun... is not Ei?" Raiden Makoto understood what Yae Miko meant. She finally knew why the Raiden Shogun seemed like a person without any emotions.
"Yes, the current Raiden Shogun is just a puppet, a puppet created by that person to escape reality."
"As for her, she attached her consciousness to the blade and hid in the Plane of Euthymia. No matter what happens outside, she does not know."
"She has it easy, leaving the mess to me." After confirming that Raiden Makoto was indeed Raiden Makoto, Yae Miko completely revealed her true nature in front of Raiden Makoto. At this moment, in Raiden Makoto's eyes, she looked like a little girl mocking her companion.
"Makoto, do you want to see her? If you want to see her, I still have the ability to take you to see her."
Besides, she had heard before that Ei was like an obedient little treasure in front of Makoto. She was very much looking forward to seeing Ei's reaction when she saw Makoto.
"No, governing Inazuma into the ghost town it is now, and she wants me to see her?" For some reason, a strange emotion emerged in her heart, as if she were angry, and as if she were happy.
"Hahahaha." Yae Miko was a bit happy. Watching Raiden Makoto's current appearance, she felt that Ei was doomed.
She had never been able to discipline Ei, but now that the elder sister was back, she would see if Ei dared to cause trouble.
"I think so too. You have just been resurrected, and your memories are all lost. Before knowing the reason, it is best not to go see Ei first." Yae Miko was also joking; she felt that it was not a good decision to see Ei right now.
"Yes."
