"Now she's planning to revive Makoto, revive her! No one has ever been able to do this, but she succeeded, and has already achieved initial success. But what happened? What did you, the biggest beneficiary, do?! Look at all the good things you've done!?"
By the end, Yae Miko was practically shouting at Raiden Ei. Even she, who was just recounting it, felt a surge of anger, her blood pressure rising rapidly.
Yae Miko felt that Durandal still had a good temper. If it were someone with a bad temper, being targeted by Raiden Ei like that would have led to a direct fight, without so much consideration.
Raiden Ei also realized how excessive her behavior had just been. She hunched her head, like a Child who had made a mistake, and remained silent.
She had said those things in a moment of hot-headedness. Thinking about it now, it was indeed very inappropriate, but she had already done it. Was there any chance to remedy it? Was she supposed to find a time machine?
"What should I do now, Miko? She said she wouldn't come to Tenshukaku anymore. Does this... does this mean she's given up on helping my sister? Will I never be able to see my sister again?"
"ε=(´ο｀*))) Alas~ I don't know either. If it were anyone else, I might be able to guess a little, but she's different from ordinary people. I don't dare treat her with my usual attitude, not even dare to subtly probe. Now, it can truly be said that all hope is lost."
Yae Miko also had a headache. She had come this time intending to improve her relationship with Durandal. She should have been happy to see Raiden Makoto truly alive again. Why did the plot develop in this direction?
Raiden Ei and Yae Miko were quite distressed. Where had the other party involved gone? She was currently on the shore near Inazuma City, sitting on the edge, quietly gazing at the sea.
Shenhe, not far away, didn't know how to comfort Durandal, and Raiden Makoto also felt that she shouldn't go over, lest Durandal think she was biased towards Raiden Ei.
The situation thus fell into a dilemma. Just as Shenhe was about to go find Lumine, Durandal stretched out her hand, and a ball of energy condensed in her palm.
Then a familiar, somewhat drunken voice came from within the energy.
"Hey, this is Venti (*^▽^*)! Durandal, what are you doing right now? How's Inazuma? Is it a mess?"
That's right, it was Venti. The reason she could contact him was because Durandal had given him a necklace at the end of the Lantern Rite Festival.
That necklace had the same function as Klee's Diko, allowing for long-distance communication with Durandal and hearing her voice.
Durandal originally wanted to chat with Klee, but before she could call Klee, Venti's communication came through, so she could only change her target.
"You've been drinking again? How much did you drink this time?"
Durandal frowned. She didn't mind Venti drinking; this drunken bard had maintained this state for thousands of years, making it almost impossible for him to change.
But to send her a message while drunk, did she only look for her when drunk? Did she only think of her when drunk? As soon as Durandal thought of this, her mood became even worse.
"Hehe~ Not much. I missed you so much today, I wanted to see you. But I know I can't go disturb you right now, so I can only go to the Angels Share to drown my sorrows. But no matter how much I drink, that feeling doesn't go away. Finally, I could only contact you, to hear your voice."
At this moment, Venti, who was lying sideways on the bed in the cozy little nest Durandal had bought for them, asked the necklace, "You still haven't told me what the situation is like on your side. The current situation in Inazuma must be quite bad, right?"
The implementation of the Vision Hunt Decree and the sakoku decree in Inazuma was known to every nation. Inazuma, under such circumstances, was far from peaceful. Even if Durandal and her companions weren't ordinary people, they would surely encounter some trouble.
"It's fine, the problems are all easy to solve. It's just... I'm a little unhappy and want to vent properly, but I don't have anyone to vent on."
As she said this, a terrifying aura emanated from Durandal, scaring away the small animals that had gathered around. Raiden Makoto, though in spirit form, was also intimidated by this aura, fearing that Durandal might turn around and run to Tenshukaku to fight Raiden Ei.
"Vent? No, you won't just lash out. How about we try a different way to vent? Say what you want to say most right now. This is also a way to release stress, and I happen to want to hear what you want to say most."
"What I want to say most..."
Durandal blinked, looking at the ocean in front of her, unsure how to express herself.
She closed her eyes, and in the darkness, a scene gradually appeared: Venti in her flower field, smiling and waving at her.
Perhaps it was because she was talking to him, or perhaps it was because they hadn't seen each other for a while, but after this image appeared, Durandal, as if possessed, blurted out:
"I... I miss you, Venti."
"..."
The other side didn't answer directly. Durandal tilted her head in confusion, thinking her ability had malfunctioned. Then she heard strange noises from the other end.
It sounded like someone rolling around on a bed, followed by a rather strange whimper. What in the world was that guy doing?
"Venti?"
"No, no, I'm fine, Durandal. Heh... Heheheh~ I'm very happy right now, extremely happy."
"Hmm, I can tell."
For some reason, her mood suddenly lightened, and the irritable emotions caused by Raiden Ei also significantly eased.
Although this drunken bard usually liked to slack off, he was still useful at critical moments.
"Once the problems in Inazuma are dealt with, return to Mondstadt and meet him."
