Chapter 162

At that time, she would just take their daughter and the family of three would return to Inazuma.

Giving her sister a massive surprise directly.

She wondered what kind of expression Ei would make then.

Thinking of the prank with amusement, Raiden Makoto then shook her head and dismissed such a wicked thought.

Raiden Ei had already suffered a great blow; if she were to be backstabbed by her most beloved sister and man, she might turn dark on the spot.

Once Mo Na was seated, Raiden Makoto finally explained.

"You've mistaken me for someone else; I am not Alice. However, Klee does come over to play often. Do you have business with her?"

She apologized quickly for her mistake.

Afterward, a shamed Mo Na explained the purpose of her visit and described the situation she had encountered over the past two days.

She recounted it in such a fragmented way for a full quarter of an hour.

Raiden Makoto sat with her legs crossed, listening patiently, giving off a sense of gentle reassurance while maintaining a cold, unreachable distance.

"So, you are acting on your teacher's instructions to come here and fulfill a promise made decades ago with Alice's daughter? But because of various misunderstandings, you had no choice but to find your way here?"

The various causes and effects could be summarized in one sentence; Raiden Makoto was thoughtful.

"117 That's about it, though I might have been played by that girl."

Seeing Mo Na believe her astrology had been debunked, Makoto smiled and didn't make her leave to find Klee's real address, but instead made arrangements for her to stay.

"That little girl Klee doesn't know astrology at all. I think I understand why you couldn't divine her location and ended up here instead."

"Stay here for now; I think I can give you an answer later."

With Raiden Makoto's wisdom, she analyzed the situation in just a few sentences.

The only person in Mondstadt who could achieve anything in astrology was Lisa, but she wouldn't go against a stranger for no reason.

And she wouldn't necessarily be able to suppress Mo Na to this extent and perform such inductive behavior.

The mastermind could only be Luo Li.

Mo Na, however, didn't understand at all and pressed: "You said Klee doesn't know astrology at all? But my experience..."

Raiden Makoto was speechless: "Perhaps it was just a joke played on you by the one in my house."

"???"

…………

Not mentioning Mo Na's confusion, on the other side, at the Favonius Church, Luo Li was still holding Klee and confirming the final details with Barbara.

As far as the Holy Lyre der Himmel incident was concerned, it could at most be considered "a close call."

"Then that's all for today; I should head back, as there was a guest at home earlier."

Hearing Luo Li say this, Barbara couldn't very well ask him to stay.

The young deaconess looked at him with reluctance and instructed: "Then when I'm on break in a few days, can I go find Sister Makoto?"

She didn't dare to be as direct as Eula, and even when looking for an excuse to get close, she had to seek out Raiden Makoto.

Luo Li was well aware of this and agreed immediately.

"Makoto quite likes having you young girls together. She got used to being quiet before, with only a few friends, but now that things are lively, it has a unique flavor."

Not quite understanding the meaning behind the second half of his sentence, Barbara pouted slightly and denied it in a low voice.

"I'm not little."

As for whether she was referring to her age or something else, Luo Li wisely didn't press the issue.

All he could say was that compared to her sister, her thick-skinnedness and boldness were slightly lacking.

Jean dared to attack head-on, while Barbara was still playing these crazy mind games; sure enough, a younger sister is just a younger sister.

Just like Makoto and Ei.

The older sister enjoys the happiness and freedom of a world for two, while the younger sister is lonely and on the verge of turning dark in Inazuma.

Muttering, until Barbara saw Luo Li and Klee to the outside of the church, the two then slowly strolled around the plaza back to the manor area.

Before they even approached the door, they heard the conversation between Raiden Makoto and a strange female voice inside.

Luo Li was not surprised in the slightest; with a normal expression, he brought Klee and pushed open the front door.

The sound suddenly grew much louder.

Hearing Makoto's voice, Klee immediately jumped down from Luo Li's hand and ran inside quickly.

Having acted as a "stretcher" for half the day, he was unhurried; when he finished changing into indoor shoes and entered the inner hall, this was the scene he saw.

Klee leaned against Raiden Makoto, curiously watching the strange sister who was staring at her with a complex gaze.

"Brother Luo Li, she was the one chasing me today!"

Seeing Luo Li enter, the little loli quickly complained, fearing he didn't understand.

Nodding slightly, Luo Li scanned the strange girl sitting opposite her.

Exactly as he had guessed, it was the astrologist Mo Na, who insisted on her principles even while poor and starving.

Only, this outfit looked even more risqué than he had imagined.

The person who advised Mo Na on her fashion sense was on par with Cloud Retainer; in all of Mondstadt, perhaps only Rosaria could put up a fight.

Not asking about Mo Na's business for the moment, Luo Li first looked at Raiden Makoto.

"Where are Eula and Noelle?"

"They went to the Knights' training grounds to practice swordsmanship and haven't returned yet."

The two girls practiced dancing in the manor, but for physical training and swordsmanship, they would go to the Knights' training grounds.

Precisely because of this, Noelle had no time to fulfill her maid duties today.

But as a result of her efforts, the battle maid had barely learned the "Godspeed" of the Hiten Mitsurugi-ryu and the basic Iaijutsu.

Although her speed and strength were still insufficient, it could be considered an entry into the craft.
