Raiden Ei walked step by step towards Makoto.
During this time, her bright purple eyes stared intently at Makoto, making him feel a bit uncomfortable.
Her delicate face was now filled with seriousness, giving Makoto the feeling that she would draw her Naginata at any second.
The atmosphere became a little tense.
But in reality, Raiden Ei had no hostility; she simply wanted to thank Makoto.
In Ei's view, expressing thanks should be done formally and seriously.
"Makoto, it was fortunate you appeared in Khaenri'ah,"
"What I mean is, thank you for saving my sister."
Back in Khaenri'ah, Makoto had left in a hurry after giving them the potion, so Ei didn't even have a chance to thank him.
Now, she finally managed to speak those belated words of gratitude.
Ei paused, then looked at Makoto and continued, "From now on, Inazuma's doors will forever be open to you."
"As long as you are in Inazuma, the Naginata in my hand will forever protect your safety. This is Raiden Ei's promise."
Ei didn't know how else to express her gratitude; the only thing she seemed capable of doing was protecting Makoto.
Hearing Ei's words, Makoto instinctively raised an eyebrow.
So, Ei was here to express her thanks.
But why did she have such a serious face when doing so?
This could easily lead to misunderstandings.
Why did Ei seem a bit clumsy, as if she wasn't very bright?
However, there was one thing that confused Makoto.
Ei just said… he appeared in Khaenri'ah to save someone?
No, Makoto mused that he hadn't been in Teyvat for very long, and had only recently left Liyue.
The Khaenri'ah war had ended hundreds of years ago.
How could he have saved anyone?
Could it be that he had traveled back in time to save someone?
Or had she mistaken him for someone else?
Makoto didn't understand, but he guessed it was an effect brought about by the Book of History.
At this moment, Raiden Makoto also stepped forward.
"This gentleman, Ei is right. Thank you so much for your help back then."
"I have always kept this life-saving kindness in my heart."
"If there's anything I can help you with, please just say so."
"As long as it's within my power, I will not refuse."
Raiden Makoto knew deeply that if Makoto hadn't helped her back then, she might have been separated from her sister by life and death.
Thinking of this, Makoto's gratitude grew even stronger.
Something within her power?
Didn't that mean it was possible?
Makoto's heart stirred.
He had a bold idea!
Makoto looked at Makoto and then said, "In that case, I would like to ask both of you to be my guides during my visit to Inazuma."
"I'm unfamiliar with Inazuma, so having guides would make things much easier."
He mainly thought that Ei had been staying in the Plane of Euthymia for so long that she had become a shut-in, completely unaware of many changes in Inazuma.
As for Makoto, there was even less to say; she had only recently been revived, so she was naturally unfamiliar with the current Inazuma.
Makoto also took this opportunity to let the two sisters go out and explore.
Of course, to protect Makoto, they couldn't both appear on the streets at the same time; only one person could go out at a time.
Hearing this, Raiden Makoto nodded gently: "Of course, that's fine. I haven't seen what Inazuma looks like these days either, so I'll take a good stroll."
Makoto also knew that it wasn't suitable for her to appear in Inazuma anymore.
She would take a good stroll around Inazuma this time, and then move to another city to live.
As for where to go, she hadn't decided yet; she would make plans after exploring Inazuma.
Makoto looked up at her sister, Ei.
Ei didn't speak, which meant she agreed.
At this moment, the system's voice rang in Makoto's mind.
"Ding, detected Raiden Makoto's friendship has increased by 1 level from 0. Congratulations to the host for obtaining one intertwined fate."
"Additionally, obtained item: Vision (Kujou Sara)."
...
On the boundless sea, a huge black ship stood out—it was the Kamisato Family's ship.
It was now lunchtime.
The ship had chefs hired at a high price by the Kamisato Family, specifically to cook for the Kamisato siblings and the guests from Liyue.
Kamisato Ayato personally served the food to Kamisato Ayaka.
However, Little Ayaka glanced at the food and then gently shook her head.
"Brother, I'm not hungry right now. I don't have an appetite."
Kamisato Ayato knew his sister's temperament, so he set the food aside, sighed helplessly, and left.
Of course, it wasn't just Kamisato Ayaka who had no appetite; the other Little Ones were much the same.
Their condition was very bad.
They basically disregarded everything else and just stayed on the deck, waiting for Makoto to return.
Especially Xiao Qiqi; she didn't even hold her favorite coconut milk in her arms anymore.
She stood quietly on the deck all night, just waiting for Makoto to come back.
During the time Makoto was gone, the Little Ones clearly looked distracted and unhappy.
Because Makoto had been gone for a long time and hadn't returned, they were very worried.
If Yae Miko hadn't repeatedly emphasized that Makoto would return soon, these Little Ones might have already gone to look for him.
At this moment, a void rift slowly appeared, and Makoto walked out of it.
He immediately saw the pitiful Xiao Mengwa.
Before Makoto could speak, the little girls all gathered around him.
"Brother Makoto, we were so worried about you."
"Brother Makoto, how are you? Are you injured?"
"Brother Makoto…"
The Little Cuties all crowded around, their eyes filled with concern and nervousness.
They were afraid that Makoto might have suffered some DMG during his absence.
Looking at the worried Little Ones in front of him, Makoto's heart was filled with Warmth.
"little girls, I'm sorry for making you worry."
Soon, Makoto also recounted what had happened in the Plane of Euthymia.
The Little Ones suddenly understood.
It turned out that Raiden Shogun had only taken Makoto away to study why the two weapons were identical.
Now that it was explained, everything was fine.
Soon, Makoto also learned that the Little Ones hadn't eaten during his absence.
Because of this, Makoto urged everyone to eat quickly and not starve themselves.
Seeing Makoto return, the little girls also obediently began to eat, not being picky at all and eating with great relish.
Makoto sat nearby, quietly watching this scene.
These Little Ones, oh, so clingy now, what would he do in the future?
