Chapter 561

"I'm going to be lonely for the rest of my life. Oh my, what a miserable and pitiful person."

This made Ei widen her eyes.

She was endlessly shocked.

In a moment of agitation, she even stood up.

"Sister, how do you know about this?"

"Besides, I'm doing it for his own good. As long as his swordsmanship continues to advance bit by bit, he will be able to welcome a new world."

"That is why I am honing him."

Raiden Makoto still maintained a look of confidence.

"That is because I don't know who was muttering there late at night, saying that they were doing this to sharpen someone or other."

"Even you yourself are hesitating, aren't you?"

"Hmm, I feel that if things go on like this, such a relationship will be ruined by your own hands."

"So, Sister asks you: do you truly like him?"

"Come, don't be in a rush. Sit down first."

Under Makoto's soothing, Ei pursed her lips and sat down, but she fell into silence regarding this question.

Her face was slightly flushed.

It seemed a bit difficult to put into words.

Looking at this conflicted and stubborn younger sister, Makoto changed her approach.

"Then, do you actually not like him? If that is the case, just answer 'yes'."

As a result, Ei still did not make a sound.

Her cheeks only turned redder.

This left Makoto looking puzzled.

"Hey, you... then what are you hesitating about?"

"Sometimes there is no need to be so serious. Qingming is a human with great potential, but he simply cannot catch up to you in a short time."

"So give him some hope. Since you like him too."

"Inazuma is a nation that pursues eternity; we both have the same understanding of erosion."

"I know you always like to worry about the future, worry about what comes later. You want to plan and think about a more distant future, so are you actually avoiding him because you feel that Qingming's lifespan is not as long as yours?"

"Keeping him on a string?"

As soon as Raiden Ei heard this, she decisively denied it.

Facing her sister's questioning, she even felt a little aggrieved.

"That's not it! I never thought about that!"
