Hearing the system's prompt, Makoto's heart stirred.
The new functions after the system upgrade are already appearing?
Consuming one intertwined fate allows for a small-scale modification of history?
Although there are limitations on the scope of modification,
as long as the Book of History is used reasonably, Raiden Makoto can be made to stay.
Makoto didn't hesitate and immediately consumed one intertwined fate.
Immediately after, an ancient book appeared before him.
Only he could see and use that ancient book.
The ancient book was dark gold overall, looked very heavy, and was covered with a layer of dust.
The pages looked somewhat yellow, and a certain aura wafted from them.
These were all traces left by time.
Makoto opened the ancient book and searched through the historical process.
Finally, he found the sentence: 'Inazuma's first Shogun, Raiden Makoto, unexpectedly passed away during the Khaenri'ah War.'
Makoto picked up a pen and crossed out the original words.
Then he quickly wrote below: 'To the outside world, Raiden Makoto has passed away, but the actual situation is that Raiden Makoto survived after the Khaenri'ah War.'
'After many years of slumber, Raiden Makoto became an ordinary person who no longer cared about worldly affairs or held power.'
Writing it this way shouldn't count as a large-scale change to history, right?
The outside world would only think that Raiden Makoto had left forever, and from then on, there would be an ordinary girl who resembled the Raiden Shogun.
After writing all of this, Makoto stared intently at the Book of History.
Because the Book of History has clear rules: certain trajectories can be changed, but they must not affect Teyvat's historical records to date, otherwise the alteration will be invalid.
But fortunately, the words Makoto wrote remained on the book page and were not deleted.
Immediately after, the Book of History closed its pages.
The entire ancient book emitted a faint golden light, then dissipated.
At that moment, certain histories quietly changed.
...
Raiden Ei looked up, silently watching the sea of cherry blossoms drift into the air and finally disappear.
At this moment, her back seemed very lonely and desolate.
The supreme Raiden Shogun, wielding the authority of thunder, was at times just a girl who feared loneliness and felt sad.
The so-called depending on each other for life,
meant that if one person left, the other would also lose their life.
Raiden Ei silently clutched the Musou Isshin in her hand.
She wanted to follow her sister's will and make Inazuma a peaceful nation.
No sorrow, no pain...
If so, her sister would be able to see it from above, right?
Her sister would definitely see it!
Just as Raiden Ei was thinking this, a soft voice slowly came from behind her:
"Ei..."
Hearing the familiar voice, Raiden Ei almost instinctively turned around quickly.
She saw her sister, Raiden Makoto, standing not far away, looking at her with a smile.
"Ei, I'm back."
"I'm sorry for leaving you alone for so long."
"From now on, I will stay by your side."
Looking at her younger sister in front of her, Raiden Makoto's eyes also welled up with tears.
Before she could finish speaking, Raiden Ei had already run towards Raiden Makoto.
Just like many years ago, Ei tightly embraced Makoto.
Feeling the real warmth from Makoto's body, Ei held her sister even tighter.
Looking at Ei in her arms, Makoto said dotingly, "What's wrong? So afraid I'll disappear?"
"Alright, alright, you win, I won't leave, okay?"
Although her face showed some unaccustomedness to her younger sister's enthusiasm,
Makoto still held Ei tightly.
"Makoto..."
"Am I dreaming?"
After a moment of silence, Raiden Ei looked up at Raiden Makoto and asked softly.
She was really afraid that she would wake up and Makoto would be gone.
If Makoto existed in a dream world, then Ei was willing to stay in this dream world forever.
Looking at the silly Ei in front of her, Makoto chuckled and said, "Silly little sister, how could this be a dream?"
As she spoke, Makoto reached out and pinched Ei's cheek.
"Does it hurt?"
Ei tilted her head, then honestly replied, "It doesn't hurt."
Makoto herself didn't have much strength,
plus Ei pursued extreme martial arts,
this kind of cheek-pinching action had no feeling for her at all.
Makoto:...
So many years had passed, and she had almost forgotten that her younger sister used to be a kagemusha.
Pinching Ei's cheek would certainly not cause her pain.
"Then you pinch yourself."
"Oh."
Ei was also a bit of a simpleton; she did whatever Makoto told her to do.
If there was such a thing as a'sister complex,' Ei was definitely a full-blown one.
"Does it hurt?"
"A little."
"If there's pain, that means it's not a dream."
Ei hummed in acknowledgment and stopped speaking.
A moment later, she spoke again: "Are you really Makoto?"
Ei was still a bit disoriented.
Because even now, she clearly remembered Makoto collapsing in her arms and finally losing her life.
And the Makoto in front of her made her both happy and somewhat dazed.
For a moment, Makoto's eyes became a little resentful: "You don't even recognize your sister anymore?"
"Your right ankle was injured before, and I found medicine for you. Also, your inner thigh and lower abdomen..."
Before Makoto could finish, Ei immediately covered her mouth: "Please don't continue. I believe you are Makoto."
Only Makoto knew these things.
No one else in the world knew besides Makoto.
Because of this, Ei also believed Makoto's words.
What on earth was going on?
At this moment, Ei's memories seemed to have undergone some changes.
When she arrived, Makoto was indeed on her last breath.
At that time, someone seemed to have appeared and given her a potion, which saved Makoto.
The appearance of that savior in her memory became somewhat blurry.
She couldn't see their face clearly.
Ei felt very strange,
because she remembered the events of Khaenri'ah clearly, and it was impossible for her to forget the appearance of her benefactor.
It must have been some kind of force that forcibly interfered, making her memory of her benefactor blurry.
While thinking, Ei suddenly looked up, her gaze fixed on Makoto.
During the Khaenri'ah War, the person who saved Makoto was Makoto!
Although the memory was blurry, connecting it to Makoto standing in front of her, they were the same person.
However, Makoto, standing opposite them, looked confused.
You two sisters can hug each other, why are you suddenly looking at me?
Could it be that you think I'm in the way here?
Should I leave?
