——
The black curtain dissipated.
Jack and Raiden Ei's figures reappeared in Tenshukaku.
The two had talked for a long time in the mind-space, but only a few seconds had passed in reality.
Under Kujou Sara's bewildered gaze, her Narukami-sama seemed like a different person, her eyes softening from their sharp edge, as she naturally leaned into her partner's embrace.
No, it was into *their* partner's embrace.
Because the next second, Jack pulled her over too.
"With this, the Narukami group (Ei, Yae Miko, Sara) is complete. Also, let's go to Narukami Shrine tonight and complete Sara's ceremony as well."
To prevent the Sacred Sakura Tree from further malignant evolution.
Jack still had to work hard to complete the eight ceremonies as soon as possible.
Because just now, when he took Raiden Ei as his Dependents (kénshǔ), he did not gain the authority of the Electro Archon.
The problem should stem from the moment the two sisters evaded the Heavenly Principles' selection and became twin Electro Archons.
The Electro Archon truly recognized by the current Heavenly Principles was only Raiden Makoto; Raiden Ei coexisted with her as a special Electro Archon's Dependents, and could serve as a substitute for Raiden Makoto's vessel when necessary.
After Raiden Makoto's death, her true spirit transformed into the seed of the Sacred Sakura Tree, protecting the leylines of Inazuma. Therefore, the true authority of Inazuma was not with Raiden Ei, but with the Sacred Sakura Tree.
...
Night, Narukami Shrine.
Jack brought Kujou Sara and Raiden Ei here as promised.
However, somewhat unexpectedly, there were quite a few people checking in here at this time.
"Ayaka-chan, what kind of clothes did he make you wear back then?"
"Eh? Why are you suddenly asking about this? It, it was just ordinary clothes."
"Really? I don't believe it. That bad guy has so many strange clothes! Before, he even made me wear only some very thin bandages!"
Thump!
Jack lightly tapped Yoimiya on the head.
Although it didn't hurt, Yoimiya still covered her forehead with a displeased expression.
"What strange clothes? Those are battle suits! They can increase attack speed!"
Jack shamelessly defined the lingerie, then said, "Why are you all here? Having a big meeting?"
That's right.
Besides Kamisato Ayaka and Yoimiya, even the senior and junior disciples Shen He and Ganyu were there.
"I came to learn. I heard Inazuma has quite a standard in the study of bedroom arts," Shen He stated.
"Miko-chan invited me over, saying she wanted me to help her smooth things over, otherwise she's afraid Raiden-sama will turn her fox fur into a scarf."
Ganyu, holding Yae Miko's hand, looked awkwardly at the displeased Raiden Ei.
"As an Electro Archon's Dependents, not only did you discover my husband's whereabouts immediately, but you also secretly plotted some small schemes behind my back. You deserve a beating!"
"Pfft! How mushy, Ei, even calling him 'husband.' Do you think using a Liyue term will please a certain someone? Wrong! I'm the little fox that my little darling likes the most!"
"(╬ ￣ dish ￣) = ○!"
It must be said, Yae Miko was indeed good at provoking negative emotions.
After her provocation.
Forget about Jack continuing the ceremony, it was questionable whether Narukami Shrine would even remain intact if a fight broke out.
"Alright, alright! You're all good sisters sharing a husband, what kind of decorum is this, arguing? Ei-baobei, Miko has endured for several days waiting for you, so please calm down."
After hearing this, Ei looked at Jack without speaking.
But her eyes were clearly much softer.
After a short gaze, Jack suddenly understood that Ei was asking for "compensation."
So he took out his usual stock of coconut milk for feeding Qiqi from his god's eye space and handed a bottle to Ei.
"What is this?"
"Coconut milk, just like Inazuma milk tea. Just insert a straw and drink. It's sweet."
Following Jack's steps, Ei sipped the coconut milk.
Her lips moved like a kitten's, and her throat made cute swallowing sounds.
"Delicious! This, I want more!!"
"Okay! Tomorrow, I'll prepare ten boxes for your Tenshukaku!"
Upon hearing that there would be so much in stock, Ei showed a small expression of anticipation.
The Inazuma girls watched in astonishment.
Where was the solemn and majestic Raiden-sama, high up in Tenshukaku? She was clearly just a country girl who hadn't seen much of the world!
After greeting the easily appeased Raiden-sama, Jack said.
"Still the previous question, would you all mind excusing yourselves for a moment?"
He roughly counted the number of people.
Besides himself and Kujou Sara, the protagonists of the Ceremony of Love and Marriage, there were no less than 6 idle people present.
"Oh, my little darling, don't you have that barrier thing? Just make one that can be seen from the outside but not from the inside, wouldn't that work?"
Yae Miko, full of tricks, immediately came up with such a bad idea.
Kujou Sara: Hey! Don't suggest this method in front of me! Doesn't that completely expose everything!
Jack read this information from Kujou Sara's flushed face and rejected Yae Miko's proposal.
"Ganyu, you are the most reasonable. Can you please persuade your centuries-old best friend for me?"
"Hmm, why are you bringing up age again?"
As the second oldest person present, Miss Qilin's nerves were quite sensitive. She weakly tugged at Yae Miko's sleeve.
"Miko-chan, let's go somewhere else. Gong Qu is now doing something to save your Inazuma, you know. If you insist on staying here, then I'll..."
"Then what?"
"Then I won't speak up for you. Let Sister Ei teach you a lesson. It's good to rein in that mischievous nature."
Gulp!
Ei opportunely finished a bottle of coconut milk and gave Yae Miko a displeased look: "Excellent!"
Yae Miko was immediately amused to anger.
"Oh, Sister Ganyu! How long has it been, and you've already been corrupted by my little darling! You weren't this scheming before! I can't take it anymore, this little fox is emotional and needs to go to her own bed to calm down."
Perhaps intimidated by the combo attack from Ganyu and Ei, Yae Miko fled towards her room.
Ganyu, pulling Shen He, followed behind her.
"Good luck, Miss Sara!"
Before leaving, Yoimiya energetically cheered on Kujou Sara.
Kujou Sara gave her a wry smile, not knowing how to respond.
Being cheered on for something like this really felt strange.
"Gong Qu, you too, don't overexert yourself."
Little angel Ayaka came over and tidied Jack's collar.
Jack smiled and kissed her on the cheek.
Ayaka said shyly, "I'm very happy that Gong Qu wants to be intimate with me, but tonight's protagonist is Miss Sara~"
"What, they say a short separation makes the heart grow fonder. After only one day apart, Ayaka is already tired of me?"
Ayaka quickly waved her hands.
"N-no! It's mainly that day, um... the amount needed was a bit much, and I haven't fully digested it yet~"
Jack understood what she meant.
The great battle that Yae Miko didn't participate in that day.
Even with his vast amount of elemental energy, nearly 70% was used up.
The ability of these girls to extract the essence of plants was too terrifying. His MC physique could only solve the problems of stamina and satiety; magic and elemental energy still needed to recover naturally.
Therefore, obtaining the elemental energy of the Seven Archons was necessary and had to be done quickly.
