"Under the Sacred Sakura Tree, combine your caviar and my plant essence, allowing flesh and soul to intertwine, completing the Sacred Sakura Tree's ritual."
"During the process, they will observe the flow of the Sacred Sakura Tree's energy from outside the reverse anti-peeping barrier, using it as a basis for arranging the magic circle and Kagura Dance."
"With these preconditions met, I will deliver Maid Charms to the 'two' who will be revived by the Sacred Sakura Tree in the future, twisting cause and effect. Then, Yae Miko will guide the Sacred Sakura Tree to 'substitute' for the two and agree, using a clever method to subdue the Sacred Sakura Tree, which is an unconventional target for Maid Charm recognition."
"Understood all of that?"
Under the Sacred Sakura Tree.
Jack, Sangonomiya Kokomi, Yae Miko, Mona, Lisa, and a certain uninvited Traveler Lumine.
There were six people in total here.
But tonight's protagonists were only two—Jack and Kokomi.
So, though it seemed like many people, Jack was only speaking to one.
Sangonomiya Kokomi weakly raised her small hand.
"Please speak, Kokomi."
"Um… according to Jack, that means they will observe the entire process of our mating, right?"
"The focus isn't the mating itself, but rather the way the Sacred Sakura Tree draws ritual power during mating, to determine its operational mechanism."
"They are watching, right?!"
"Alright, if you're really too shy, then I'll obscure a part, and let them only observe the Sacred Sakura Tree, how about that?"
"Eh? But this way…"
Mona wanted to say that this way, they couldn't observe from the Sacred Sakura Tree's source of absorption.
She was immediately silenced by Lisa, who covered her mouth and shook her head.
Lisa's eyes signaled: Don't add fuel to the fire; that child is clearly the shy type. What if you scare her away?
"Phew~"
If that's the case…
Kokomi was just about to breathe a sigh of relief.
A character with 1000% unexpectedness appeared!
"What's the big deal? Everyone can accept playing impact together, but now you're hesitating? Kokomi, can you do it? If not, I'll do it!"
With that, Lumine set an example, tearing at her clothes, instantly revealing her sacred and flawless jade body.
"!!!"
Everyone was shocked by her words and actions.
Kokomi also suddenly realized.
Two days ago in the bathhouse, she had intertwined fingers with Barbara while they took turns using a (beep—) to scrub Jack's back.
It's just being watched; as long as everyone is together, then there's nothing to be shy about!
"Thank you, Miss Lumine, that's a very good suggestion!"
Kokomi clasped her hands and looked at Jack, hoping he could persuade the others to also approve of this plan.
Jack covered his twitching mouth and silently gave Lumine a thumbs-up.
Although it was a foolish move.
But if this guy hadn't insisted on coming, the seventh installment of tonight's love and marriage ritual would have collapsed halfway through its inception.
"As expected of my resourceful (cunning) good partner, you immediately hit the nail on the head… So, ladies, what are you waiting for? Why not return to your true selves with your husband and enter your most primitive state?!"
Lisa rolled her eyes at a certain smug individual, and as per usual, complied. Judging by her intensely longing gaze, it seemed inevitable that after the ritual, she would have to expend several tubes of plant essence to satisfy this ripe peach.
Mona was still in a daze, then Lumine suddenly hugged her from behind, pressed her to the ground, and thoroughly took advantage of her, forcing her to join the party.
Seeing this, Yae Miko quickly and consciously returned to her true self, warily looking at Lumine, whose gaze had turned wild.
Now, apart from the two protagonists, everyone else had entered their factory default state.
So Jack looked at Kokomi.
"Everyone is ready. Now, do I still need to set up a reverse shielding barrier?"
"Hmm, since everyone is like this, then blocking or not blocking doesn't really matter, does it?"
"That's true, then let's…"
"Begin!"
The mermaid lady shyly glanced at everyone, then, in front of them, put on the Jinxiu Pavilion's latest white silk alluring outfit.
Did they really think her shyness as the strategist lady was genuine?
What a joke!
It was just to show off this perfectly fitting outfit to her girlfriends! Yes, it must be like that!
In the end, Kokomi convinced herself.
Silently, she placed her hand on Jack's shoulder, needing no pre-battle preparations, and directly, with the superior performance of a god's eye holder of Hydro element, swiftly entered the inner battle!
...
Buzz!
Mount Yougou's sky.
A pink light illuminated, and the previously invisible abstract concept of the Sacred Sakura Tree's energy became undeniable under Lisa's manifestation magic circle. The automatic scribe meticulously recorded its energy flow without a single error.
Seeing this, Lisa folded her arms with satisfaction.
After the shaking of the sea and mountains, confident words emerged.
"Actually, I've long been interested in invisible energies like divine faith, but due to certain unspeakable reasons, my research stalled. So, when you, my dear, mentioned this divine tree, I immediately thought of this topic I had once abandoned."
"Now it seems that it's indeed true; this Sacred Sakura Tree has already become a god. It is absorbing the power of faith generated by you and Kokomi during your mating activity."
Among the Six Darshans of Sumeru, although Lisa had dabbled in every school.
However, it was still the Vahumana Darshan, and thus, subjects related to elements and ley lines were what she excelled at and was most interested in.
Mona nodded, the wind causing the ornaments at the ends of her twin tails to chime softly.
"While the Astrologer cannot tell me the flow of energy, it can be used to determine truth from falsehood."
"I guarantee, on the honor of Mona, the second greatest Astrologer of Teyvat, that Lady Lisa's magical theory is true and trustworthy!"
The two, one after another, seemed to genuinely be engaged in academic research.
This left Lumine and Yae Miko, who had been focusing their attention on the people, speechless.
[Lumine: So… what's up, Yae Miko? Aren't you the High Priestess? Can you offer some professional knowledge? They're all so eloquent, it makes me feel so awkward!]
[Yae Miko: Oh my! Old timer, you flatter me too much. I'm just a little fox demon who was forced into the High Priestess position. How could I have as much professional knowledge as Lady Fox Saiguu and them?]
[Lumine: ?? What's with 'old timer'! Didn't you used to call me 'little one'?!]
[Yae Miko (pouting): It's because I used to be disrespectful. I admit my mistake! I heard from my husband that your true age might be five digits or more, old~ gee~ zer~]
"Hey! Look at my temper!"
Lumine rolled up her sleeves, preparing for a showdown between women with Yae Miko.
However, after rolling for a while, she realized.
She wasn't wearing anything!
"Damn it! What Jack can tolerate, Lumine cannot! You seductive fox demon, take this!"
Lumine purposefully pounced on Yae Miko's ears, revealing a perverted expression, and immediately began to knead them.
"Eek!"
Yae Miko hated anyone touching her ears except Jack, so she grabbed Lumine and directly flung her towards the Sacred Sakura Tree.
However, Lumine was not so easily shaken off.
As Yae Miko exerted force, she also dragged the other party along, and the two, like spinning tops, rotated and crashed towards the MC bed under the Sacred Sakura Tree.
Just as they were about to collide with the two people in the middle of the ritual.
Jack quickly shifted Kokomi into a side embrace, his right hand entwining countless vines, directly binding the two rushing figures together.
Coincidentally, at this moment, a system prompt sounded in his ear.
[Ritual completed]
[Marriage Indicator: Sangonomiya Kokomi]
[Reward issued]
Fortunately, Jack's marksmanship was skilled and controllable, and he completed the indicator ahead of time.
A pair of undisguised malicious eyes swept towards the two troublemakers.
Lumine and Yae Miko huddled together, trembling, both seemingly seeing a large red character above the other's head.
Danger!!
