Chapter 253: Rehearsal before seeing Raiden Ei!

~7 min read 1,260 words

Yae Miko was well-versed in the way of spies.

During this period, she didn't do her best for Luo Li, and would appropriately make some small requests halfway to prove her own purity.

Half-true and half-false, because of the asymmetry of information, Luo Li's trust in her rose rapidly.

Raiden Makoto nodded seriously: "I think Saiguu's proposal is good."

"Sister, even you..."

Ei was anxious, inevitably revealing a look of reproach.

"Giggle, what's wrong with it? Anyway, your thoughts were so obvious before, did they change in five hundred years?"

Facing her sister's teasing eyes, Ei subconsciously looked away and remained silent.

Seeing this scene, Yae Miko's eyes became soft.

The god she believed in finally began to recover.

Sure enough, the only thing that could heal the heart was the source. For five hundred years, she had never seen Raiden Ei's smile.

Raiden Makoto had only been back for a few days, and the cold Ei-dianxia had gradually melted, revealing her past posture.

Saiguu-sama also no longer sighed, appearing and disappearing, talking and laughing with the Raiden twin sisters all day, talking about her interesting stories over the years.

Clearly, it was a lonely and bitter memory, but sharing it with friends had a different flavor.

The only remaining problem was Luo Li-dianxia on Watatsumi Island.

As long as he returned, the Tenshukaku 003 would restore laughter, and the five hundred years would turn into a long nightmare.

When the dream woke up, everything remained unchanged.

The kingdom of eternity, as if it lived up to its name.

"Then I will reply according to the Matriarch's words." Yae Miko asked tentatively.

The three people's eyes fell on Raiden Ei, as if they were seeking her answer.

"What are you looking at me for? It's... it's all okay."

Once it came to Luo Li, Ei would stammer.

Don't look at her being angry now, but after the anger, she loved Luo Li more than anyone else.

On this point, the three people present had no doubt.

Yae Miko nodded gently: "If there is no problem, then I will set off."

Confirming that the three had nothing to add, she turned and prepared to go to Watatsumi Island.

For some time, she had perfectly acted as a mouthpiece for both sides.

However, according to Luo Li's statement, he hadn't found him, and had only been working in the dark, without showing his figure, only passing messages.

Coupled with his own unspeakable difficulties, because there were still some sequelae from leaving the Abyss that hadn't been solved.

(cbfh) So he couldn't return to Narukami Island to see Raiden Ei for the time being.

Although the excuse was a bit bad, under the acting of a group of women in the Tenshukaku, Luo Li, although he sensed that something was wrong, it seemed that everything was going too smoothly.

But Yae Miko, the actor, had always performed well, letting him erase all his doubts.

Watatsumi Island!

When Yae Miko came here for the umpteenth time, the Sangonomiya soldiers were already familiar with her.

Although both sides were in different positions, they still invited her to the Sangonomiya properly.

Having been here several times, Miko passed through the corridor to the main hall with ease, and the first time she saw no one inside, she turned and came to the outer beach belonging to the side of the Sangonomiya without hesitation.

This place could be considered the area with the most coral reefs, filled with embellishments of seashells and pearls.

Cyan-blue plants swayed with the breeze, and combined with the mist and vapor from the waterfall, it was set off to look like a fairyland.

Looking out, the outer beach was several miles wide, and the surroundings were completely deserted.

However, if one looked closely, they would discover a few figures swimming in the pool beneath the waterfall.

When Yae Miko approached, a sharp water arrow suddenly shot out from the crystal-clear surface of the pool.

Its force was astonishing; if one hadn't been paying attention, they might have suffered a small setback.

Yae Miko merely paused her steps with unusual composure, slightly turning her body to dodge the water arrow, and then looked toward the pool.

"Miko, you've come just in time. Come on down; we're playing a game."

Within her line of sight, Mikoshi Chiyo was dressed only in light gauze, drifting back and forth in the cool waterfall like a fish. Seeing her arrive, she couldn't help but extend an invitation.

"That's right, Lady Guuji Yae. There are three of us now, so you've arrived just in time to make it a full group." The one echoing this was Sangonomiya Kokomi.

Yae Miko stared at Kokomi with a half-smile and refused: "I still have matters to report to His Highness, so I'll pass. I hope Lady Chiyo has a good time."

The one who had just ambushed her with the water arrow was Kokomi. Although it was an ambush, her control over the force was excellent.

It was certainly not enough to injure her, but a bit of embarrassment would have been unavoidable.

Mikoshi Chiyo had no choice but to give up, calling out: "Then come over later!"

"I will."

Under Kokomi's pouting gaze, Miko walked with a provocative smile to the only lounge chair above the outer beach.

There, having shed his dark green ceremonial robes, Luo Li was rarely seen in such a relaxed state.

He was shirtless, wearing only a pair of shorts to cover his lower body, and was holding a book to read. If he had a parasol and sunglasses, he would look exactly like a modern person at the beach.

"His Highness Luo Li is truly in high spirits, admiring several beautiful young ladies playing in the water while reading a novel himself."

The stinging words made Luo Li put down the book in his hand and slightly turn to look at Miko.

"You're a bit late compared to last time. Did you run into something?"

"Nothing, just that the Matriarch kept me for a few extra words."

She spoke the truth, though Miko did not mention the specific content.

"I see. Come and sit down. What good news do you have this time?"

Seeing Luo Li sit up slightly to make some room, Miko didn't mind and came to sit beside his chair with her legs crossed.

After silently apologizing to him in her heart, she began to answer.

"According to what Your Highness said last time, I have already informed the Shogun. The Shogun was stunned at the time; she looked very moved. Although her expression didn't change much, but..."

As if she had experienced it herself, Miko didn't even blink while telling lies.

She vividly described how Raiden Ei was moved, and the shaken look on her face seemed as if it were right before one's eyes.

Yae Miko even deceived herself, a hint of compassion flashing in her eyes.

Sure enough, a true actor must enter the role themselves, otherwise how could they deceive others?

Although Luo Li felt a bit uneasy, Miko's superb acting completely deceived him.

"Are you sure Ei didn't have any other reaction?"

Miko hesitated for a moment and said slowly: "Perhaps there was some resentment, but I think it should be within a controllable range. As long as Your Highness says a few soft words and offers an apology when the time comes, it should be fine."

Luo Li began to ponder, combining the news Miko had brought earlier to try and fathom Raiden Ei's psychology.
