Today, Raiden Makoto wore a long white dress, her beautiful hair falling over her shoulders, swaying with the wind.
Because she was late, Raiden Makoto's tone was apologetic.
In her opinion, making someone wait was a very rude thing to do.
What's more, the person waiting for her was Mr. Faxun.
Seeing Raiden Makoto apologize, Makoto comforted her, saying, "Makoto, you arrived at the agreed time, so there's no such thing as waiting for a long time."
"And also, don't be so formal."
"It doesn't matter if we meet a little later, as long as it's the right person."
Hearing Makoto's words, Raiden Makoto felt a Warmth in her heart, and her pretty face beneath the mask flushed slightly.
Actually, she also wanted to say that Mr. Faxun was the right person.
"Thank you, Mr. Faxun," Raiden Makoto said, her voice filled with joy.
At this moment, the ship's whistle sounded,
meaning the ship was about to depart.
Makoto was about to return to Liyue, but it seemed there was still someone who wanted to speak to him.
Raiden Makoto turned to look at her younger sister, Ei, behind her, and then said, "Ei, didn't you have something to say to Mr. Faxun?"
Ei hummed in affirmation, then looked at Makoto.
"Makoto, this is a souvenir gift from me to you."
Ei took out a box from behind her, which contained dark, solid, round things.
Makoto examined the things that looked like coal balls, and subconsciously asked, "Ei, are these all stones you collected? Are you giving them to me now?"
Makoto didn't know much about the customs in Inazuma.
Do locals always give stones when bidding farewell to friends?
Hearing Makoto's words, Ei shook her head.
She said earnestly, "These are not stones, but tricolor dango that I made."
Makoto:???
He looked at Ei, and then at the dark, hard coal balls.
These are tricolor dango?
The two couldn't be said to be completely similar; they were completely unrelated.
Cook, it really is you.
You've never failed at cooking.
Immediately after, Ei looked at Makoto, with an expectant gaze.
"Try these tricolor dango and see how they taste."
Ei had spent a lot of time and effort on these tricolor dango,
even blowing up a kitchen to successfully make them.
Although they looked a little different from the tricolor dango sold on the market,
the taste should be similar, right?
Ei was very much looking forward to Makoto's evaluation after tasting them.
At this, Makoto became a little unsettled.
To eat or not to eat?
This was a life-threatening question.
It seemed no matter what decision Makoto made, he would be doomed.
"Um... Ei... Thank you very much for the dessert you prepared for me,"
"But I have a toothache recently and can't eat sweets... Can I keep them for now and eat them after my toothache is gone?"
Makoto showed an awkward but polite smile.
Ei responded to Makoto by slowly drawing Musou Isshin.
Makoto:???
Ei, you're no longer that cute country Country bumpkin...
You're actually threatening me with a sword to eat'strange tricolor dango'.
Immediately after, Ei slowly said, "Makoto originally gave me this 'Musou Isshin', hoping I would bring peace to Inazuma."
"And I did not disappoint Makoto's wish, using this sword to slay countless Gods and protect the peace of Inazuma."
Ei handed Musou Isshin to Makoto.
"Now, I choose to give 'Musou Isshin' to you,"
Looking at the Musou Isshin that Ei handed over, Makoto subconsciously raised an eyebrow.
It turned out he had misunderstood.
Ei hadn't threatened him to eat'strange tricolor dango'; she wanted to give him Musou Isshin.
"Makoto is frail and not skilled in combat,"
Ei looked into Makoto's eyes and said very seriously, "Promise me... protect her well."
The Raiden twins grew up together, practically inseparable.
Now that Raiden Makoto was leaving Inazuma, Ei, as her younger sister, naturally felt concern and worry in her heart.
She knew well that Raiden Makoto had no combat ability and was a soft girl who needed protection,
which was why she entrusted Makoto to take good care of Raiden Makoto at their farewell.
Raiden Makoto stood by, quietly watching everything.
Oh, her silly younger sister,
who couldn't even take care of herself, yet constantly thought of everything concerning her older sister.
Raiden Makoto's nose tingled; it turned out that at this moment of separation, her heart was filled with reluctance.
If she could, she didn't want to be separated from Ei either.
But many things are beyond one's control.
Currently, Inazuma cannot have two Raiden Shoguns simultaneously,
as that would bring immense trouble to the sisters, and even to Inazuma.
Left with no choice, Raiden Makoto could only leave and become a wanderer in another land.
Hearing Ei's request, Makoto nodded vigorously and agreed.
"Don't worry, I will protect Makoto well and not let her fall into any danger."
"That's good," Ei felt relieved.
The ship was about to depart, and Makoto boarded with Raiden Makoto.
Little Yoimiya and little Arataki Itto stood on the shore, waving goodbye.
Ei stood there silently, her figure looking somewhat lonely.
Makoto's departure meant that from now on, she would be alone.
There wouldn't even be anyone to talk to.
