Chapter 45

He just wanted to try to figure out the state inside, but he didn't expect to create a Stigmata.

However, on the Teyvat continent, this thing didn't seem to be of much use.

Seeming to get nourishment from him, the baby girl instinctively emitted a desire to be close.

Before Luo Li could react, just at this time, someone came to notify that the Watatsumi Island side had considered and made a decision.

Watatsumi stopped her introduction and turned to say, "Lord, let's go back then."

"No, I'm not needed anymore. You can talk to the people I brought later."

Since a decision had been made, no matter what happened later, Luo Li didn't need to come forward.

Whether the Watatsumi Island side agreed or refused had nothing to do with him.

But according to his guess, the probability of the Watatsumi Island side agreeing was very high, and the specific details later would probably be the conditions that both sides needed to pay and obtain through negotiation.

Watatsumi was stunned for a moment, then agreed.

"Okay, then where does the Lord want to go? I can have someone act as a guide."

"No need, I will return to Narukami Island directly."

Refusing Watatsumi's proposal, Luo Li intended to go back immediately.

There was no reason to stay, she nodded silently, "Then I will send someone to see the Lord off."

For a period of time after that, just as Luo Li thought, Watatsumi Island reached a certain consensus with the Shogunate army.

If they were willing to pay a certain price to ask the Shogunate to send troops to help when the disaster broke out.

Correspondingly, the people of Watatsumi must try to accept and integrate into the Shogunate's rule and need to offer a certain jurisdiction.

With this first step, Luo Li believed that the stalemate should be eased in the future.

It was also fortunate that this generation of Watatsumi Divine Priestess was sensible; if they changed to someone who couldn't listen to words, it probably wouldn't be so easy to achieve the goal.

The only trouble was that the process of trying to grind and fit caused a lot of small conflicts, which was also something that couldn't be helped; unless it was after a few generations, it was possible for them to completely accept each other.

This lasted for a full half a year before the friction gradually decreased.

Because the problem of monsters became more and more obvious, even if it wasn't exposed to the public, they learned about it through various channels.

For example, merchants constantly traveling to various places, the number of attack cases increased, and the number of injured people rose day by day.

Documents submitted every day were like snowflakes being sent to Tenshukaku.

But the only difference was that the person handling these things became Raiden Ei.

"Makoto, don't let me handle affairs anymore. I don't know what to do with so many things."

Finishing a day of hard work at the desk, Ei almost collapsed on the table, staring at the thick stack of documents that she had to solve, feeling exhausted.

Even if she had a big battle with an Archon, it probably wouldn't be as powerless as it was now.

The person who should have been sitting at the main desk was now staying on the side, enjoying the scenery and drinking tea.

"Don't you feel a sense of accomplishment seeing Inazuma become better under your own efforts bit by bit?"

Raiden Makoto pointed to a newly built street near Hanamizaka and then whispered, "Look, that place was originally desolate, but under your authorization, it gradually became prosperous, and people settled down to trade. Don't you think it's wonderful?"

Looking in the direction her sister pointed, it was impossible for Ei not to be happy.

Why do so many people like cultivation games? Isn't it because they can get an extraordinary sense of satisfaction when they harvest?

It's also really tiring.

Ei hesitated, "But it's too inefficient for me to do it. If it were you, you could save at least half the time."

Half-leaning on the window, Luo Li comforted her, "You'll get used to it. Makoto wasn't very capable at the beginning either; proficiency is all trained."

Perhaps reminded of some memories by the latter sentence, Raiden Makoto just wanted to agree, but then glared at him fiercely for no reason.

Luo Li was a little baffled at first, but then remembered the reason for the problem.

That was after he went to Watatsumi Island and returned to Narukami Island in a hurry, he immediately asked Raiden Makoto to fulfill the agreement and honor the promise they made at the beginning.

The General naturally couldn't go back on her word, so she had to do it under the witness of everyone, giving away the first kiss that had been hidden for who knows how many thousands of years.

Luo Li felt regretful; if it weren't for the public, he probably wouldn't have been able to control his hands, and might even have accelerated the favorability process by a large margin.

Half-pushed and half-yielding, with Raiden Makoto's gentleness and tolerance, she might have followed him a little bit too much.

It's a pity the opportunity was wasted.

Sighing, facing Makoto's angry but non-threatening eyes, Luo Li smacked his lips as if savoring it.

Simply ignoring him, Makoto continued to gently feed her sister chicken soup.

"Over the past few months, your methods of handling affairs have matured a lot, and your speed has also improved. Everything that should be taught has been taught. Even if I am not here or retire in the future, you can sit well in the position of the Raiden Shogun."

Not understanding the deep meaning of planning ahead in the words, Ei's face turned bitter. Thinking that this life would continue, she suddenly felt life was hopeless.

A martial artist, forced to do clerical work, just thinking about it felt tragic.

Occasionally, she would be squeezed and teased by Mikoshi Chiyo, who came to slack off, but she couldn't refute it.

"Just be the Raiden Shogun, I can't do it."

Raiden Makoto smiled slightly without refuting.

In the past six months, the revelations from Celestia have gradually increased, and it is possible that they will break out any day.

Before that, she tried her best to teach her wisdom to Ei and tried her best to reverse her sister's way of treating Inazuma.

Let her understand that the so-called eternity is by no means unchanging.

If they lose the motivation to move forward, humans are just animals raised in a pen, waiting to die.

True eternity belongs to the courage to constantly pursue the future.

No matter what Inazuma becomes in the future, only keeping the original intention is the standard for fixing everything.

For thousands of years, the vicissitudes of life have changed, and Inazuma has changed into several appearances and still exists today, which is the most powerful evidence.

"Ei still doesn't understand this truth and needs time to correct it. I really hope I can wait until that time." Raiden Makoto sighed softly.

The more important the moment, the more she felt that time was not enough.

At first, she thought that with Luo Li's help, even without her, Ei should be able to face the future and walk on the right path.

But according to his statement, he would never let himself act alone.

In this way, the only ones who can comfort Ei are Saiguu and the others. In case of an accident, Inazuma's future doesn't feel so bright.

Raiden Makoto worried about Inazuma and her sister all day long, wanting to find a way to have the best of both worlds.

But before she could think it through, the thing she had been worried about for a long time broke out as expected.
