Chapter 371

Recalling the movements from just a moment ago, even Raiden Ei's expression became a bit flustered, and she hurriedly said, "Practice on your own for a bit, I'm going to get something to eat!"

With that, Raiden Ei walked away quickly.

"Hahaha~~"

Kitsune Saigu laughed until she was doubled over.

Gu Chen put away his katana and looked at her, saying, "Is it that funny, you're laughing until you have tears?"

"Hahaha~"

Kitsune Saigu couldn't stop laughing, and she explained, "It's rare for this blockhead to have a chance to be shy, of course I have to mock her mercilessly!"

Gu Chen clicked his tongue.

As expected of a bad fox, she wouldn't miss any opportunity to mock others.

Fortunately, he was the same kind of person!

Gu Chen laughed along with her, quite uncharitably.

"Damn it..."

A little further away, Raiden Ei poked her head out to take a look.

Her cheeks were puffed up, not sure if it was from the dessert stuffed in her mouth or from shame and anger.

Days passed by.

After that day, Raiden Ei was very restrained.

When she came to teach Gu Chen, she was expressionless.

Dealing with such a Raiden Ei was a piece of cake for Gu Chen.

He only needed to prepare a dessert for Miss Shogun, and she would happily teach Gu Chen martial arts.

At first, Miss Shogun felt uncomfortable due to the occasional close contact, but slowly, she began to get used to it.

【Nilou】: I am watching with my own eyes as Miss Ei falls step by step! (Klee: Yay!)

【Collei】: Warm and happy daily life is the best! (Klee: Yay!)

【Yae Miko】: She has already started to get used to it; I believe that once she gets even more used to it, she won't be able to leave! (Yae Miko: Evil grin)

As the saying goes, a great teacher produces a great student.

In Inazuma, Raiden Ei represents the pinnacle of martial arts, and even looking at the whole world, she is among the very best.

Under her personal guidance, Gu Chen's martial arts could be described as advancing by leaps and bounds.

Without using other powers and only using martial arts, it took less than twenty years for Gu Chen to go from being easily defeated by Sasayuri to gradually becoming evenly matched, and now to defeating her within dozens of moves.

"Twenty years, such progress... if your talent were stronger, I'm afraid I would have had no power to fight back ten years ago," Sasayuri sighed.

"My clumsy talent achieving this today is all thanks to Ei's good teaching," Gu Chen laughed.

Raiden Ei, who was watching from the side, immediately raised her head proudly.

Raiden Makoto praised with a smile: "A-Chen is doing well, and Ei is teaching very well. Sasayuri, you need to practice hard recently, okay?"

"Heh."

Sasayuri shrugged and said, "Alright, alright."

"A-Chen, Ei has taught you so much, shouldn't you show some appreciation?" Raiden Makoto's meaningful gaze fell on Gu Chen.

"I understand!"

Gu Chen nodded and continued: "I've been working on quite a few ways to make pastries recently; today, I'll use them as a gift to thank Ei for her hard work in teaching me during this time!"

"Mhm, it seems we'll be benefiting from Ei's light," Raiden Makoto said, looking at Kitsune Saigu.

Kitsune Saigu nodded and said, "We have to thank Ei for this!"

"Looks like we're in for a treat," Sasayuri laughed.

Raiden Ei crossed her arms, her expression filled with unconcealable joy, and she feigned calmness: "You're thoughtful."

The afternoon tea time that made Raiden Ei happy arrived.

A few more days passed.

Sasayuri went to patrol the territory of Inazuma on behalf of the Raiden Shogun.

While Gu Chen practiced swordplay on Mount Yougou, he also refined his craft.

Whenever he was tired, making something delicious could soothe his mood.

But such leisurely days were broken on this day.

This day.

Gu Chen was practicing swordplay as usual when he suddenly felt a terrifying fluctuation of Electro energy coming from the west.

That was Ei's aura; Gu Chen wouldn't mistake it.

Besides the violent Electro power, there seemed to be faint hissing sounds.

"What happened?" Gu Chen found Kitsune Saigu and asked.

"I don't know either," Kitsune Saigu shook her head with a grave expression.

Just as the two were about to go and investigate, a shrine maiden came to report.

Orobashi launched an eastern expedition, and Sasayuri was killed in battle!

Hearing this, both Gu Chen and Kitsune Saigu were filled with uncontrollable rage.

【Venti】: How many times is this now? Orobashi is gone again! (Funny)

【Kaeya】: I'm so angry I'm shaking; when will Orobashi ever be able to stand up again! (Funny)

【Tartaglia】: What Orobashi wants most now should be for the world to forget him, right? Every time he appears, the outcome is death. (Facepalm)

【Sangonomiya Kokomi】: (Qiqi: Fall)

【Zhongli】: The fall of Orobashi brings a bad signal, meaning the easy and leisurely times are over; the coming time is likely to be tense.

【Nilou】: o(n)o No, I still wanted the leisurely time to last a bit longer! (Klee: Aggrieved)

【Shikanoin Heizou】: Orobashi has been slain; it seems the battle of Khaenri'ah is not far off, which means Miss Makoto will likely fall soon, and then it will be Kitsune Saigu and the others...

【Collei】: Miss Ei's friends and family are starting to pass away; Sasayuri is just the beginning... I can already understand Miss Ei's paranoia! (Klee: Aggrieved)

【Kamisato Ayaka】: Without a strong state of mind, it's hard to accept such a result, right... (Pat)
