"(Ei's) Husband, do you have any other interesting stories about Ei you can tell me? Or if not Ei, talking about yourself is fine too."
Raiden Makoto rested her chin on her hand, smiling like a flower as she looked at Jack.
If there were a third party present, they would never guess that these two were sister and brother-in-law.
Compared to the aforementioned relationship, they seemed more like a sweet young couple.
"Miss Makoto, your intention is too obvious. Are you trying to test your husband's loyalty for Ei?"
"Ehehe, was I found out?"
"You don't need to test that."
Jack said very directly, "Ei is not my only wife."
"Uh... You actually said it so frankly. Normally, shouldn't you pretend to be deeply affectionate and say something like, 'Sister, please rest assured, I only love your sister, and I will definitely take good care of her'?"
"Whether she is my only wife and whether I will definitely take good care of her are not in conflict."
"Eh? But isn't that being a playboy?"
"You can say it's being a playboy, but I prefer to call it the responsibility of bearing everything for them. The bond between us, besides affection, also has an inseparable connection like Creator and his eternal companion. This is a bond that transcends ordinary emotions."
"Creator... This is not the first time you've mentioned this word. What exactly does it mean?"
Raiden Makoto was very curious.
Was Jack's so-called Creator truly, as the literal meaning suggests, the master of all creation, the originator, the God of Creation to whom all things return as one?
"This question is very abstract, and I can't answer it for you right away."
Jack shook his head, "And this is not a suitable place for a long discussion. Your true spirits cannot be preserved for too long, and I cannot keep the people outside waiting for too long either."
"I see. It seems that the conversation with (Ei's) Husband is coming to an end here. It's a bit of a shame."
Raiden Makoto looked at the desserts on the table with reluctance.
She didn't know whether she was regretting the snacks or Jack, her brother-in-law, with whom she had chatted so happily (and who had caught her eye).
"When will we meet next?"
Raiden Makoto asked.
"Soon."
Suddenly, Jack looked at a rift torn by lightning in the distance. "Let's not talk about this for now. It seems I've been in here for too long, making them worried. Before we say goodbye, why don't you see your sister whom you haven't seen in 500 years?"
As soon as he finished speaking.
The violent lightning intensified, tearing a narrow rift more than ten meters long.
Two figures appeared, one after the other.
"Husband!!"
Ei immediately saw the person who occupied 99% of her mind and body, and instantly rushed over like a swallow returning to its nest.
Jack opened his arms and embraced her tightly.
"How did you get in here?"
"I waited outside for a while, afraid you'd get lost in the memories of the Ley Line."
"Don't worry, I'm someone who has seen the World Tree with Nahida. This amount of memory won't overwhelm my brain. However, it is my fault for making you wait so long."
Jack cupped Ei's face and kissed her on the forehead.
"I'm sorry for making you worry."
...
"Uwah! That's too bold! By the way, now that Ei has a man, she's even starting to ignore you, her sister~"
"That's good. I, as her older sister, am very pleased that she can find her own home."
"Hehe, are you pleased? Why do I feel it's - jea - lou - sy?"
Saiguu revealed the mischievous smile inherited from the High Priestess of Narukami Shrine, patting Raiden Makoto's shoulder and saying, "Anyway, you and Ei are twin sisters, you look exactly alike, and your other hardware facilities are pretty much the same. Why don't you also follow that man? Wouldn't it be wonderful for sisters to serve one husband?"
However, the scene Saiguu had envisioned, of Raiden Makoto looking at her with angry shame, did not appear.
The other party first thought seriously about such a scenario with shyness, then became dejected.
The resourceful Saiguu immediately guessed her best friend's thoughts.
Firstly, before she and Ei arrived, something must have happened between Makoto and this man, causing her to develop a considerable liking for him in such a short time, actually seriously considering the feasibility of sharing a husband with her younger sister.
Secondly, Makoto remembered her status as a "dead person," regretting that she had lost the right to pursue and receive love, and what she thought in her heart was nothing more than a fleeting, fragile dream.
She truly was a sensitive and fragile woman!
Saiguu shook her head and pulled out a folding fan from somewhere to cover her face.
A sigh of emotion, speaking of both Makoto and herself.
...
Jack released Ei and led her, fingers intertwined, to the two former Narukami group members.
"Ei, introduce them to me, your family."
Ei looked dazedly at her sister and Saiguu.
The scene of birdsong and fragrant flowers around her gave her the illusion that she was still in the past 500 years.
"Sis... Sister..."
She could only murmur the long-unfamiliar address, all thoughts draining from her mind, only the hand holding Jack's tightening more and more.
"Ara, is Ei so shy just introducing her husband to her family?"
Saiguu teased from the side.
"Alright, Saiguu, it's a rare reunion, don't tease Ei anymore."
Raiden Makoto, as always, acted as the peacemaker between the two, then looked at Jack, who had not appeared in the scene from centuries ago.
"Brother-in-law, how much time do we have left?"
Jack closed his eyes and sensed the situation outside.
Then his eyes glowed with Grass Elemental Power, enveloping the four of them, acting as a filter layer for energy loss.
"Originally only 5 minutes, now... you have 72 hours."
"Hiss! With such a huge amount of Grass Elemental Power, I'd believe you if you said you were The Greater Lord Rukkhadevata."
"??" Ei looked at Saiguu in confusion, "The Greater Lord Rukkhadevata, who is that?"
Raiden Makoto's pupils contracted, and she looked at Jack.
Jack silently nodded.
Then Raiden Makoto shook her head bitterly, "I see, it seems Buer also sacrificed herself, and was also swallowed by the World Tree... Never mind, as a deceased person, I shouldn't care so much. Brother-in-law, can you let Ei and me have some alone time?"
"No problem."
Jack pushed Ei's back, pushing her towards her sister.
Ei stood awkwardly in front of Raiden Makoto.
The two clearly had no difference in appearance, but an astute person could immediately distinguish who was the elder sister and who was the younger sister.
While the sisters were catching up.
Saiguu, full of curiosity about Jack, came closer, looking him up and down, circling around him, and even leaning in to fan her hand at him to smell him.
"Eww~ Why is there a foxy smell? Sir, do you also have an unusual relationship with our little fox?"
She was practically saying: You scumbag, you already have Ei, and you're even going after our little fox!
