Raiden Ei looked at Sara in front of her, then at the necklace.
"Honestly, I don't have a habit of wearing necklaces."
"Because it feels a bit uncomfortable, and it might affect the speed of my blade."
"Does General Ei not like this necklace?"
Sara's eyes were brimming with tears, on the verge of crying at any moment.
She had painfully given up her Crowfeather Bow for the silver necklace.
If Raiden Ei refused, Sara would probably cry uncontrollably.
It would be a huge loss.
Looking at Sara's teary-eyed expression, and then at Makoto in the distance,
Raiden Ei was silent for a moment, then said, "Occasionally trying a change won't affect my pursuit of eternity."
"Little girl, thank you for bringing the gift box, and thank you, Makoto, for giving me a gift."
"I'll accept this necklace, thank you."
In the end, Raiden Ei still accepted the necklace.
She lowered her head and glanced at the gift box in her hand, still feeling a bit uncomfortable.
Because she was used to fighting and killing every day,
Suddenly being asked to dress up felt unaccustomed to Ei.
It was like a girl who only ever wore canvas shoes was suddenly asked to wear high heels; she would definitely feel uncomfortable.
However, all of this was Makoto's kind intention.
After much consideration, Raiden Ei still accepted the necklace.
However, she didn't put on the necklace immediately, as she felt it would be too embarrassing.
She would try it on when she returned to the Plane of Euthymia, when no one was around.
Just then, a whoosh sound came from the sky.
Everyone almost instinctively looked up and saw a red flame shooting straight into the sky.
Immediately after, brilliant fireworks exploded in the sky.
Those were the fireworks Yoimiya had prepared for Sara.
While everyone was quietly enjoying the fireworks,
Only Raiden Ei's heart tightened, and her pretty face became serious.
What was that appearing in the sky?
Was it an attack from a monster?
Attacking while the people were out for the festival?
It seemed to be aimed at Makoto!
Without time to think, Ei's wrist flipped, gripping her Naginata.
Intense lightning erupted around her, and the world grew dim due to the powerful element of thunder.
Before the surrounding people could react, Raiden Ei, holding her Naginata, shielded Makoto.
Looking at Ei's back, Makoto was a bit at a loss: "Ei, what are you..."
Raiden Ei turned her face and said to Makoto, "No need to worry, I will protect you completely."
"As long as I am here, no monster will cause you DMG."
Upon hearing this, Makoto was stunned for a moment.
It turned out Raiden Ei had mistaken the fireworks for a monster attack.
So Ei had never even seen fireworks before.
She really was a Country bumpkin from the countryside.
Looking at Ei's serious expression, Makoto found her very cute.
He quickly explained to Ei: "Ei, you misunderstood."
"Those in the sky are fireworks, not a monster's sneak attack."
"There are actually no monsters appearing, don't be nervous."
Upon hearing Makoto's explanation, it was Raiden Ei's turn to be stunned.
"No monsters? Fireworks? What are those things?"
Makoto immediately explained to Ei that fireworks were something for people to enjoy.
After confirming there was no danger, Ei then retracted her thunder element power.
She looked at the blooming fireworks in the sky and said confusedly, "Fireworks are fleeting, even more so than flowers. Why do so many people like them?"
"Could it be that this is also a way to express affection for lovers?"
Raiden Ei tilted her head, her purple eyes filled with confusion.
During her time in the Plane of Euthymia, she seemed to understand Inazuma's changes less and less.
Given this, it was indeed best to frequently check on Inazuma's situation, as her older sister had suggested.
Upon hearing Raiden Ei's question, Makoto replied, "Although fireworks are fleeting, this moment can remain in people's hearts, forming past memories."
"Memories are beautiful things; they should belong to the 'eternity' you pursue."
Raiden Ei remained silent, pondering Makoto's words.
Just then, a man wearing a baseball cap and holding a paintbrush walked towards the two of them.
"Excuse me for interrupting, but I unintentionally captured a very loving moment between the two of you, so I couldn't help but record it."
"Now I want to give you the painting and wish your love to last forever."
Makoto and Ei exchanged glances, knowing the painter had misunderstood.
However, Makoto still accepted the oil painting from the painter's hand.
What met his eyes was a sky full of lightning.
Raiden Ei wore a fox mask, her long purple hair dancing in the wind.
She held her Naginata, standing in the center of the lightning, exuding an indescribable heroic aura.
And Makoto and the Little Cuties were protected behind her.
If an uninformed person saw this painting, they would truly believe it was a family,
And it was clear the wife was a doting protector of her husband.
