"What... what do you mean by lighter?" Seeing Raiden Ei's somewhat bashful appearance, Yae Miko was a bit dazed.
Why couldn't she quite understand the conversation between the two sisters?
"It's not..."
Raiden Makoto understood what Raiden Ei meant. She said with a hint of helplessness, "Let's completely resolve the issues in Inazuma first, then I'll educate you properly... After all these years in the Plane of Euthymia, you still haven't learned anything."
"Do you really know nothing about what's happening outside?" She didn't believe that Raiden Ei, staying in the Plane of Euthymia, was truly completely unaware of the problems in the outside world.
"Wasn't I just inside thinking about you the whole time, Sister? Hehehehe..." At this moment, Raiden Ei had an innocent smile on her face, but in Raiden Makoto's eyes, she looked a bit silly.
Speaking of which, she felt that her younger sister's current appearance really was like a silly country girl.
She wondered if it was just her imagination.
"Slick-tongued." Raiden Makoto rolled her eyes at Raiden Ei, then looked seriously at Yae Miko and said, "Little Fox, tell Ei everything that's been happening outside."
She was tired.
The thought that she would have to educate not only her sister but also the Shogun in the future made Raiden Makoto feel truly weary.
However, both she and Raiden Ei had long lives, so there was plenty of time.
Raiden Ei was feeling quite excited inside; she was incredibly happy. She couldn't imagine that her sister had actually returned to life.
Watching Raiden Makoto's helpless expression and listening to her gentle scolding, she couldn't help but daze off.
From now on, she must protect her sister well! She would never be separated from her again.
"So many things happened outside? The people of the Tenryou Commission and the Tenryou Commission..." Listening to Yae Miko recount the actions of the Tenryou Commission and the Tenryou Commission colluding with the Fatui in Inazuma, the smile on Raiden Ei's face gradually vanished.
"They took advantage of the Shogun's loopholes..." Raiden Ei was somewhat angry, but hearing Yae Miko say that Raiden Makoto had already resolved almost everything, her gaze toward Raiden Makoto became even more full of admiration.
As expected of her Elder Sister!
"Sister Makoto, I'll be going now. I need to start the preparations for the Sacred Sakura Cleansing Ritual soon." After speaking with Raiden Makoto, Yae Miko turned and walked out of Tenshukaku.
With Yae Miko gone, only Raiden Makoto and Raiden Ei remained in Tenshukaku.
"Sister..." When Raiden Makoto looked at her with a gentle smile, Raiden Ei shrunk her neck, starting to feel guilty.
While Yae Miko was there, she knew Raiden Makoto wouldn't do anything to her. Now that Yae Miko was gone, she... she was doomed.
"I... I know I was wrong..." Everything in Inazuma now was entirely because she had sealed herself in the Plane of Euthymia, while the Shogun was a puppet acting strictly according to its programming.
Because the Shogun was a puppet, she rarely stepped out of Tenshukaku's territory. Even if she did, she only stayed nearby.
She had no idea what was happening in Inazuma.
Over time, the subordinates developed ulterior motives. Thus, at the root of it all, she was the one at fault.
"Sister... when you hit me... can you be a bit lighter?" Raiden Ei said cautiously. Worst case scenario, she would just enter the Plane of Euthymia, and Raiden Makoto would be hitting the Shogun!
"What do you think?"
What do you do with a disobedient child? A good spanking, of course. Though, she didn't actually intend to beat Raiden Ei.
After all, Raiden Ei looked much more mature than her now, even standing a bit taller.
In front of Raiden Ei, she actually seemed more like the younger sister.
However, to Raiden Makoto's surprise, Raiden Ei actually lay face down right in front of her, sticking up a certain part of her body.
The posture she was lying in was a bit unsightly.
"Sister..."
For some reason, Raiden Ei was very excited at this moment. Being able to get a spanking again after five hundred years seemed like a very happy thing; she would never be separated from Raiden Makoto again.
"..." Raiden Makoto was somewhat speechless, but she still gave her two symbolic swats. Raiden Ei began to pretend to cry in front of her.
"Wuwuwu... Sister... it hurts!"
The next second, Raiden Ei even started rolling around on the floor of Tenshukaku. But then her tears began to flow uncontrollably, and she started wailing for real.
Her sister had truly returned!
"Sister... don't leave me ever again, okay..." Looking at Raiden Ei acting like a bit of a clown, Raiden Makoto sighed softly, her heart aching for her.
"Sister... I will definitely protect you well from now on... We must never, ever be separated."
Her younger sister had stayed in the Plane of Euthymia alone for five hundred years; she must have been incredibly lonely.
Raiden Ei had been protected too well by her. After her death, she stayed in the Plane of Euthymia for another five hundred years, so it was understandable that she still had the temperament of a Little Child in front of her.
"Okay."
"Grand Narukami, everything has been dealt with..."
However, a voice interrupted Raiden Makoto and Raiden Ei. Kujou Sara stood at the entrance of Tenshukaku, looking dumbfounded as she stared blankly at Raiden Ei wailing on the floor.
Was this Raiden Ei wailing on the ground really the Raiden Shogun she had followed? Realizing she had seen something she shouldn't have, she quickly lowered her head, not daring to look directly at Raiden Makoto or Raiden Ei.
"Grand Narukami, your subordinate didn't see anything just now!" But Kujou Sara's words were like a self-incrimination.
Raiden Ei also hurriedly got up from the ground. After coughing twice, she regained her serious expression.
"Kujou Sara? Your Kujou Clan..." Just as Raiden Ei was about to question Kujou Sara, she was interrupted by Raiden Makoto.
"Sara... how do you think Kujou Takayuki should be dealt with?"
Raiden Makoto's question took Kujou Sara aback. She then said seriously, "Kujou Takayuki secretly colluded with the Fatui, causing Inazuma..."
"His crime is punishable by death!"
Kujou Takayuki was her Adoptive Father, but she knew that his current situation was entirely of his own making. Raiden Makoto's question wasn't asking for her opinion, but testing her loyalty.
"En. I order you to form a Purge Squad to arrest everyone involved in colluding with the Fatui alongside Kujou Takayuki."
"Yes."
"Grand Narukami, your subordinate will certainly complete the mission!" After Kujou Sara withdrew, Raiden Ei's face was completely flushed; it seemed she had utterly lost face in front of her subordinate.
No, she had to find a chance to prove to Raiden Makoto and Kujou Sara that the one rolling around and wailing on the floor just now was the Shogun, not her!
"Sister..."
"I just went into the Plane of Euthymia to get something. What were you and Kujou Sara talking about just now?"
