Inazuma, Plane of Euthymia.
As a purple spatial rift opened, Raiden Ei slowly emerged from it.
According to their initial agreement, it was now her sister Raiden Makoto's turn to explore Inazuma.
...
Sensing Raiden Ei's return, Makoto put down her repair tools, looked up, and said softly with a smile, "Welcome back, Ei."
Raiden Ei looked at the puppet in standby mode, then at Raiden Makoto.
Ei couldn't help but ask, "Makoto, are you..."
"Oh, you mean this puppet?"
Raiden Makoto placed her hands behind her back, her eyes curving into a smile.
"After you left, I felt I had nothing to do, so I thought I'd study the puppet."
"I didn't realize until I looked that the internal structure of the puppet is so complex."
"To be able to invent such a puppet, Ei is truly amazing."
Raiden Makoto paused, then continued, "Oh, right, I also added some instructions for you. Now the puppet is more intelligent and can govern perfectly on your behalf."
As she spoke, the Raiden Shogun puppet slowly opened her eyes.
A lightning glow, symbolizing majesty and power, lit up in her eyes.
However, unlike before, this time the puppet Shogun's gaze had less apathy and more liveliness.
This scene touched Raiden Ei's heart.
As expected of Makoto.
She had figured out the puppet's principles and even made adjustments in such a short time.
Immediately after, Raiden Makoto put the puppet back into sleep mode.
She stroked her chin, a thoughtful expression on her face.
"There are still some areas of the puppet that need adjustment, but none of them are major issues."
Raiden Makoto paused, then looked up at her sister.
"Speaking of which, Ei, how did you feel about exploring Inazuma this time? You seem very happy."
"Although Ei's face didn't show any expression, I can feel that Ei is very happy right now."
"Perhaps this trip brought you some insights?"
The sisters grew up together, so they understood each other very well.
Makoto knew that her sister Raiden Ei was not good at showing her emotions on her face.
But whenever Ei was happy, her walking speed would increase, and she would even speak a little more than usual.
Makoto guessed that her sister's happiness was related to her experiences during this outing.
Hearing her sister's words, Raiden Ei pondered for a moment, then nodded gently: "This trip, for me, can be considered fruitful."
"Along the way, Makoto explained many fascinating things to me."
"Thanks to his patience, I have reacquainted myself with present-day Inazuma and have a new definition of 'eternity'."
"Is that so? It seems Ei had a very productive outing."
"Is all of this thanks to Mr. Faxun's help?"
Raiden Makoto softly murmured Makoto's name, and the boy's silhouette subconsciously appeared in her mind.
After a moment of silence, Raiden Makoto suddenly asked, "Ei, what kind of person do you think Mr. Faxun is?"
Upon hearing this, Raiden Ei tried hard to think of how to answer.
She looked up at her sister, her expression exceptionally serious.
"Makoto is very gentle; those children love to cling to him, wishing they could be inseparable."
"If it weren't for the separate restrooms for men and women, I estimate those children would even follow him inside."
"Of course, besides taking care of children, Makoto also has a unique set of personal insights. Some things he says unintentionally give me a feeling of sudden enlightenment."
"My time with Makoto has been quite pleasant; it's an experience I've never had before."
Even Raiden Ei herself didn't notice.
When she mentioned Makoto, there was a light in her eyes.
Different from the fierce light of thunder,
That light was very gentle, like a spring pond, with a gentle breeze.
And all of this, naturally, was fully observed by Raiden Makoto.
She rested her chin on one hand, looking at Ei with a teasing smile, "This is the first time I've heard Ei evaluate someone at such length; it's truly rare."
"I remember when you used to evaluate me, you, little girl, would tilt your head and think for a long time, only to finally blurt out,'Sister is gentle and smart.'"
"Back then, I thought you were at a loss for words, but now it seems you were just too lazy to say more."
"It seems Mr. Faxun holds an important place in Ei's heart, doesn't he?"
Hearing Raiden Makoto's teasing, Ei lowered her head and flusteredly changed the subject: "Makoto, you should go out quickly."
"Present-day Inazuma is very exciting, far more exciting than our era."
"Leave the matter of repairing the Shogun puppet to me."
Watching Ei's flustered, blushing appearance, Makoto smiled and left the Plane of Euthymia.
As she left, she looked at Ei's back and whispered softly, "This girl didn't deny it, does that mean she implicitly agreed?"
"It's the first time I've seen Ei blush and be shy; she's so cute."
"Oh, my silly little sister, she probably doesn't even know what's happening to her."
Soon, the Plane of Euthymia fell silent once more.
Raiden Ei took out the gift box containing the necklace.
Although doing so would affect her ability to draw her sword, she still put the necklace around her neck.
Gently caressing the necklace, Ei discovered a feeling she had never experienced before.
She couldn't quite describe what it was, but it felt very wonderful.
Now, Ei was already looking forward to meeting Makoto the next day.
