"A little fox?"
When Raiden Makoto saw the confident Yae Miko, a look of surprise appeared on her face.
How could she have met Yae Miko in a place that seemed to be the Kujou Clan? And Yae Miko seemed to know everything.
"Makoto... you were captured by that little girl from the Kujou Clan!" Yae Miko smiled, finding the situation truly amusing.
"If that little girl from the Kujou Clan knew that Ei was your sister, I wonder how he would face it."
"Do you also know about the collusion between the Kujou Clan and the Fatui? Among the Three Commissions, the Tenryou Commission and the Tenryou Commission are both in league with those arrogant and ignorant fellows from Snezhnaya." Yae Miko was still unable to suppress a smile; she found everything happening right now very interesting.
"Mm."
"Isn't the Vision Hunt Decree just something the Fatui secretly communicated upwards to the Tenryou Commission and the Tenryou Commission, fueling the flames?"
"The Fatui's goal is the Gnosis, but I don't know what the Tenryou Commission and the Tenryou Commission are after."
"You know the Fatui's goal is the Gnosis?" Yae Miko was slightly surprised. "With so little information, you were able to analyze so much."
"As expected of you."
That deity praised for wisdom and gentleness.
"I originally heard the news of Rex Lapis's passing in Liyue and thought the Fatui had the ability to kill a God, but later I discovered that it was just intentional on Rex Lapis's part, so I wasn't too worried about Ei," Raiden Makoto said, looking slightly serious.
"Look at this." As Yae Miko took the Gnosis out of her pouch, that Gnosis, which looked like a chess piece, emitted a purple light.
"That is... a Gnosis?"
She had memories of what the Anemo Archon's Gnosis looked like, so when Yae Miko took it out, she recognized it as a Gnosis at a glance.
An Electro Gnosis.
"It's not some important object, just a communication device connected to Celestia. Ever since you passed away in that calamity, Ei handed the Gnosis to me."
"He completely shut himself off and has almost no contact with the outside world."
"Even if the Seven lose their Gnosis, aren't they still Gods? Their authority won't disappear."
"It originally belonged to you, so I will give it to you now." After Yae Miko handed the Gnosis to Raiden Makoto, the corners of her mouth curled up slightly. "Makoto, you should have recovered some of your memories, right?"
"Mm, the little fox that used to be in my arms." Raiden Makoto nodded. Because of Lumine's appearance, she had indeed recovered some memories, mostly about Ei.
And there was also a little bit about Yae Miko, the little fox that was once in her arms.
It was a pink fox.
She remembered that afternoon when she held Yae Miko and enjoyed some leisure time with Ei; those images had become completely clear.
"Mm..." A blush appeared on Yae Miko's face, and she felt a bit embarrassed. "Sister Zhen... you remembered..."
She, of course, also remembered things from when she was still a little fox, but the time she spent with Raiden Makoto was too short, and later, because she didn't want to recall that nightmare, she stopped thinking about those things.
But now that Raiden Makoto had returned, those memories surfaced in her mind again, as if it were yesterday.
"It's just that so many years have passed, and the little fox that only knew how to whimper in my arms is now so big, even taller than me." Raiden Makoto had a gentle smile on her face.
That smile from Raiden Makoto made Yae Miko want to find a place to bury herself.
She... she... that was definitely not her! Definitely not!
"Sister Zhen!"
"Please, stop."
How could she be a little fox that only knew how to "whimper"? She was the wise and resourceful Grand Priestess of the Grand Narukami Shrine, the Guuji Yae in the eyes of the world! She was definitely not a little fox that only knew how to "whimper".
"Is Ei still in the Plane of Euthymia he constructed?" Raiden Makoto looked at Yae Miko with some confusion. "He... I suppose I owe him an apology."
"I never thought my passing would bring him such a great blow." Raiden Makoto sighed softly, a look of apology on her beautiful face. "But it will be soon before I see him. Let's meet him after we solve the current problems in Inazuma."
"Your passing didn't just bring him a blow; it was also a heavy blow to Inazuma."
As Raiden Makoto gained a deeper understanding of the true situation in Inazuma, she knew that the obstacles in Inazuma right now were not just the Vision Hunt Decree, but more so the completely corrupt upper echelons of Inazuma, the backward and unbearable Shogunate, and those selfish people who had long since completely rotted away.
These were all obstacles to Inazuma's progress.
Now was the perfect time to let those old, corrupt figures hiding in the shadows fully emerge; once everything was cleared, there would no longer be any obstacles to Inazuma's progress.
"Since the Vision Hunt Decree was issued, all sorts of monsters and demons have emerged. Watatsumi Island is ostensibly fighting under the banner of resisting the Vision Hunt Decree, but in reality, it is also resisting the Shogunate."
"I know Ei could solve those enemies with one slash, but that cannot fundamentally solve the problem. Sometimes force cannot solve problems."
"Yes, yes." Hearing Raiden Makoto say that, Yae Miko agreed very approvingly.
"Mm, I think so too." Yae Miko nodded. She didn't know why, but she didn't really want Ei to meet Raiden Makoto so soon. If the siblings were stuck together, where would she have a chance?
"Sister Zhen, let's work together to clear away all the obstacles to Inazuma's progress!" Yae Miko's expression was exceptionally serious. Her ambition was to become a fox like Kitsune Saiguu.
Now that she could once again start another "war" together with the first Electro Archon, she was, of course, willing.
"Alright."
"The last time you recovered the power you dispersed under the sacred sakura tree, Ei seemed to have discovered something and came out of the Plane of Euthymia."
"That guy is still so stubborn; I really can't change his mind." Yae Miko spread her hands. "I think only you, Sister Zhen, can handle him."
"In Inazuma, you are probably the only one who can beat him."
"Sister Zhen, that little girl from the Kamisato Clan seems to be trying to find a way to rescue you."
"That girl is quite capable; I think she is a good talent," Yae Miko said thoughtfully.
"Mm."
"Among the Three Commissions, only the Yashiro Commission is currently loyal, while the other two have ulterior motives."
"That also has to do with the management by Ayaka and her brother." Raiden Makoto nodded. "Let's wait calmly for a while. Once those monsters and demons in the shadows fully emerge, we will round them all up."
"Mm."
