"Come on, you're a soul, where would you get a sense of smell? But this same mischievous personality is exactly like Miko's."
"Ara, you're already calling her Miko directly. Could it be that Brother-in-law has really taken our little fox?"
Saiguu revealed a meaningful smile, her mind racing with thoughts.
If she had to say who she was most worried about after her departure, it would undoubtedly be the silly little Narukami in her eyes, who could be lured away by a piece of fried tofu.
So, after hearing that even Ei had found her beloved, she began to worry about her own little fox.
"It's not about 'taking her down,' but Yae Miko is indeed one of my wives. I love her, and she loves me."
As honest as before, Jack did not hide the existing fact of his polygamy.
Saiguu opened her small folding fan, covering half her face, and said, "You're actually so open about admitting you're a scumbag in front of a beautiful single woman. Hehe, I'm starting to admire you a little, you know?"
"Admiration is one thing, but what do you mean by getting so close?"
Meanwhile, Saiguu, with her delicate steps, had already moved to less than ten centimeters away from Jack.
Their faces were extremely close.
If not for the folding fan, Saiguu would only need to stand on tiptoe to kiss Jack.
"Ei told me you have a special skill that allows you to impart knowledge to others through kissing."
"There is such a thing, but why do you think I would kiss you? Do you think that just because I have many wives, I must be a promiscuous person who can be taken by anyone?"
"Eh? Not even a beautiful maiden like me?"
"Who says they're a beautiful maiden themselves?"
Jack took a step back.
Saiguu was to be taken down sooner or later, but not now.
The other party was merely a memory temporarily extracted from the River of Fate.
If Jack were to infuse knowledge into her, it would easily overload and burst this memory due to the excessive information.
Saiguu pouted a little regretfully.
She really wanted to offer her first kiss.
After all, before her death, she, like Makoto, was a thousand-year-old virgin who had never experienced the taste of being loved by a man.
...
On the other side, the sisters' reunion was complete.
The two walked hand in hand to Jack, one with a gentle and virtuous aura, the other with a cold and somewhat naive demeanor.
Without needing to think, the naive one was his wife Ei... 's sister!
These two were playing a game of "guess who your wife is" with Jack.
"Is this game fun for you two?"
Jack accurately pulled the gentle and virtuous purple-haired woman into a deep kiss in front of the other two.
Their lips parted.
The one in Jack's arms blinked, saying nothing.
The cold and naive Ei, still standing, slowly said, "Husband, you guessed wrong. The one in your arms is my sister."
But Jack wasn't fooled and continued to hold the one he believed to be Ei.
"Alright, sister, Husband's mind-reading is very strong; our tricks won't fool him."
The Ei in his arms spoke, exposing her sister's lie.
"Eh? How can there be such a sneaky skill? What's the point of our being twins then?"
"Is the purpose of your and Ei's being twins to fool your brother-in-law?"
"Isn't it?"
This sister is so mischievous!
Jack, for once, played the role of the straight man, but he didn't expect Raiden Makoto to completely deflect, shamelessly kicking the ball back.
Afterward, Saiguu also joined in.
The two teased Ei together, occasionally pulling Jack in and asking him why he hadn't gotten Ei pregnant with a baby yet, which made the inarticulate Ei's face flush red then pale.
For a time, the mental space was filled with a joyful atmosphere.
However, happy times are always short-lived.
They couldn't keep playing around here; the time and place were inappropriate, and it would also miss the best opportunity to deliver the Maid Charm.
If they missed this time, the next time they could enter here using Starlight Magic would be in another 30 days.
So Jack sternly interrupted everyone.
"That's enough, Ei, let's prepare for the next step of the plan."
"Mm..."
Ei walked out of her sister's and Saiguu's embrace without reluctance and came to Jack's side.
The two opposite also slowly stood up, with relieved smiles on their faces.
"Actually, being able to see you again, sister, is already very satisfying."
"Mm-hmm, me too. Knowing that little Narukami is doing well, I feel light as a feather now and can go to rest peacefully!"
"Why do you sound like a vengeful spirit about to be set free?"
"Hey! Makoto, you were the one who started getting sentimental first, alright!"
The former Narukami duo started arguing again within a few seconds.
Their lively chatter diluted the bitterness of parting.
"Sister... Saiguu..."
Ei dared not look at the two anymore, turning to bury her face in Jack's embrace.
She was afraid that if she continued to look, she would be unable to resist staying for the maximum 72 hours Jack mentioned.
"Then... farewell!"
Jack waved to the former Narukami duo.
They also smiled and waved back.
"Farewell!" x 2
...
In reality.
Jack awoke from his dazed state, opening his eyes to look at the three people staring at him.
"Sorry for making you wait, Yae Miko. Let's start the Kagura Dance ritual now!"
Yae Miko saw Ei still with her eyes closed and wanted to say something, but Jack gave her a look that told her not to ask, so she suppressed the doubts in her heart and proceeded as planned.
Yae Miko picked up the Gohei, walked to the front of the stage, and hummed in a singing-like tune.
"I am the High Priestess of Narukami Shrine, O Sacred Sakura Tree, please listen to my prayers for the people of Inazuma!"
With that, Yae Miko slightly bent her knees, and the Gohei in her hand lightly tapped the empty space.
Ding-a-ling~
The Gohei emitted a clear sound like a wind chime.
Then, the dance symbolizing the miko's communication with the gods began.
There were no spectators. Jack moved Ei, who was still meditating in self-isolation within the mental space, and went to the two maintaining the magic circle.
He kissed each of them on the lips.
This wasn't taking advantage or flirting; it was because they had consumed too much elemental power to maintain this super-standard divination magic, and Jack was acting as a power bank to replenish their energy.
After the replenishment, Jack said to the two, "You've worked hard. I have already contacted the consciousnesses of those two. They should be able to cooperate with my request to send to the Sacred Sakura Tree over there. Now, you just need to maintain the channel for a little longer, and I can deliver the Maid Charm."
"Phew~ Is it finally over?"
"Yes, you two were chatting so passionately in there; Mona was the most anxious among us!"
"I wasn't! Lisa, you were clearly anxious too!"
"Oh dear, who was it just now, pouting with little pearls almost dripping out? Who was it?"
Mona's face was flushed, and she timidly dared not look at Jack anymore.
For a great Astrologer like her to cry because her husband was in danger, it was simply too unsightly!
"Cheer up! The last piece of the puzzle is about to be completed; it's not time for us to relax yet. Also..."
Jack revealed a smile as warm as the sun, shining on Mona as he said, "Crying is a way to vent emotions. Being able to cry shows that Mona is a person with delicate emotions. I don't dislike such people."
