When Kamisato Ayato and Kamisato Ayaka arrived, they happened to see everyone walking out of the jail cells.
"I'm very sorry, Ayato-san," Himeko apologized.
It was all because of them that Kamisato Ayato had fainted in the street.
Stelle scratched her head, looking slightly embarrassed.
"It's fine. I didn't suffer any real harm." Kamisato Ayato smiled and shook his head, not taking it to heart.
"I originally came to let you out, but someone else arrived first. That makes my trip seem rather unnecessary."
"What are you thinking about, young lady?"
At some unknown point, Stelle had appeared beside Kamisato Ayaka. She was holding a rose in her mouth, though no one knew where she had gotten it from, and spoke in an extremely flashy manner.
That refined young-lady aura really was something she liked. It made her want to get to know Ayaka.
Himeko and the others: "…"
Kamisato Ayato: "…"
At this moment, the smile on Kamisato Ayato's face vanished. He looked expressionlessly at Stelle, who was harassing his little sister. He really wanted to cut someone down.
Sunday caught sight of Kamisato Ayato's expression and found it very familiar. As a siscon himself, if his own little sister were harassed, he would react the same way.
As fellow siscons, it would not be an exaggeration to call the two of them kindred spirits.
"Not surprising at all," Koji said with a laugh.
So, what kind of reaction would his future brother-in-law show next?
"Hello. My name is Kamisato Ayaka. I am Kamisato Ayato's younger sister."
Kamisato Ayaka was startled and gave three awkward laughs.
This person was a little strange. She felt difficult to handle.
"I'm truly sorry. So it turns out you're my brother-in-law."
Stelle looked at Kamisato Ayato and bowed her head in apology.
"Who are you calling brother-in-law?"
Kamisato Ayato could not hold it in anymore. A blue greatsword was placed against Stelle's neck. This was a weapon he had not used in quite some time: Haran Geppaku Futsu. At this moment, it was unsheathed for the sake of his little sister.
He did not care about being made to drink that kind of coffee.
But anything involving his little sister was like touching his reverse scale.
March 7th and the others had no intention of stepping in to stop him. After all, Stelle had brought this abstract nonsense upon herself, so she could handle it herself.
Maybe suffering a little would help her learn her lesson.
Well, maybe not. It felt like it probably would not work.
Stelle could feel the sharp aura of the greatsword. This was the real thing. Cold sweat rose on her back. Was there really a need to draw an actual blade?
"Hehe… I was just joking. Don't be so serious, please," Stelle said with an awkward dry laugh.
Although with her current strength, there were very few people in Teyvat who could fight her, she was not Homelander. She could not just do whatever she wanted.
"There is no possibility between Ayaka and you," Kamisato Ayato said calmly.
That blond Traveler had not come to Inazuma lately, and now a gray-haired Trailblazer had appeared instead. Was this ever going to end?
"Brother, please don't say things that will make people misunderstand," Kamisato Ayaka said helplessly.
She could tell Stelle had no ill intent. Stelle was simply being abstract. In fact, she had not gone too far.
"What are you all doing here?"
Raiden Ei walked over and looked at these people in confusion.
Standing right in front of the jail entrance like this was truly strange.
"This?!"
Welt's eyes widened. That voice, and that familiar face. His scalp was going numb.
No matter which world he went to, Raiden Shogun was watching him.
"You know me?" Raiden Ei looked at Welt.
The other party's voice sounded a little like Morax's.
"I don't. I just know someone very similar to you," Welt said, shaking his head.
Raiden Mei and Raiden Ei had different auras, so they were probably just counterparts. That Acheron was actually more similar to Raiden Mei.
Although he could not simply lump her together with Mei, this face and that similar voice… if she did not have the surname Raiden, then today he would drink Himeko's coffee like plain water.
"Mm. There is no need for excessive courtesy. You may call this body Raiden Ei," Raiden Ei said with a nod.
Someone very similar to her. It was probably someone like Acheron.
"So, what exactly are you doing here?" Raiden Ei asked.
"Do you all want to try the Electro Archon's cooking?" Koji suggested.
No one noticed the wicked smile hidden in his eyes.
"Your Excellency, I still have matters to attend to, so I will take my leave first," Kamisato Ayato said.
He had once had the honor of eating the Electro Archon's cooking.
The impression was unforgettable.
It was cooking even more terrifying than Himeko's coffee. Even if it did not kill you, it would leave you suffering for several days.
Welt, however, did not think too deeply about it. After all, Raiden Mei was very good at cooking, so how bad could Raiden Ei possibly be?
With a face that looked like it could cook at first glance, her cooking skills had to be decent.
"Let's forget it," Raiden Ei said, shaking her head.
She now had a very deep understanding of her own cooking skills.
She simply could not cook.
It was one thing to torment Miko, but there was no need to persecute anyone else. After all, foxes were very hard to kill, and by now Miko had developed some resistance from eating it.
"Could it be that you can't cook?" Stelle asked.
Raiden Ei nodded and said, "Except for cooking, I can do anything."
Even she herself did not understand it. No matter how she tried to learn cooking, she could never succeed. The food she made simply could not be eaten.
"If you can't cook, then the things you make should still be edible, right?" March 7th was not exactly good at cooking either, but she could still try copying simple dishes.
They might not be delicious, but at least eating them would not ruin someone's stomach.
"Who wants to eat?"
Koji took out a pot of Moment of Judgment. This was something he had kept from earlier. If anyone refused to accept it, then he would invite them to have a taste.
Gloop, gloop—
Inside the pot was a mysterious purple broth. The ingredients had already become impossible to identify. They were indescribable, and purple bubbles kept rising from within.
When those purple bubbles burst, purple smoke formed lifelike skull patterns above the pot. Just looking at it felt terrifying.
Moment of Judgment…
Raiden Shogun's specialty dish.
Among those who had tasted it, not a single person had given it a bad review.
It could make a person stand while eating the dish, and then peacefully lie down afterward.
If even a single drop fell onto the ground, it could make all vegetation within hundreds of miles wither away.
"Can this thing really be eaten?" Stelle swallowed.
It was not because she was craving it, but because her heart was pounding with fear.
It was as if she could see the word "danger" written across the surface. If someone drank it, it would be countless times more terrifying than Himeko's coffee.
Raiden Ei's expression did not change. She had seen this kind of expression so many times that she was already used to it.
Welt pushed up his glasses.
She clearly had a face that looked like it would be good at cooking, yet she had made a dish comparable to a biochemical weapon. Truly, appearances could not be trusted.
He admitted that he had been taking things too much for granted earlier.
This thing definitely could not be eaten.
Compared to Moment of Judgment, even the coffee made by Himeko seemed much more gentle and friendly.
At least that would not be fatal.
Himeko was filled with admiration.
She had never expected to see this kind of dish.
She was utterly impressed.
There was always someone greater out there.
