Chapter 486

Because five hundred years ago, the three people's residences were all different, distributed in a triangular formation.

Makoto's bedchamber was at the very back, while Hearing Luo Li and Raiden Ei, who was the Kagemusha at the time, lived on the left and right.

Although he hadn't been back for a long time, the layout here hadn't changed or been reorganized, so Hearing Luo Li didn't have to worry about getting lost or finding the wrong place.

Walking on the route engraved in his bones, he quickly passed through one courtyard after another and arrived at the final back hall.

"Ei has already rested."

Glancing at the hall on the right, Hearing Luo Li found that Ei's residence had already extinguished its lights and was in total darkness.

Thinking that she had drunk nearly two jars of Celestial Drunkenness, it was understandable.

This stuff could make gods drunk; even he, at this moment, felt as if he were in the clouds, walking as if floating.

"Still shouldn't drink too much in the future."

Gently tapping his forehead, Hearing Luo Li lightened his steps, passed between Ei's and his own bedchambers, and arrived at the only place with dim lamplight, "Makoto's" residence.

The dim lamplight seemed to signify something; accompanied by the creaking sound of the door opening, Hearing Luo Li stepped inside.

Completely different from the noble place of a god that ordinary people imagined, Raiden Makoto's residence appeared very simple, to the point of being cold.

There were only a few pots of flowers placed, and except for the floor constructed basically of precious wood, there were almost no overly luxurious materials elsewhere.

The entire bedchamber layout was divided into three parts: the master bedroom, the main hall, and the place for meditation.

Almost without stopping, Hearing Luo Li passed through the main hall and arrived at the master bedroom.

Inside the fluorescent bed curtains, a purple, slender figure lay there with her back to him.

The purple kimono had already been changed, but the braid had not yet been undone and was still in a perfect state.

"Makoto, I'm back! Hmm? Have you already rested?"

Receiving no response, Hearing Luo Li didn't mind; because they hadn't seen each other for many days and were very familiar, he leaned over directly.

Only in the moment of passing near the gauze curtain, he seemed to smell a fragrance similar to gentian flowers.

"Why is the smell of gentian flowers so heavy?"

Because of the Celestial Drunkenness, there was no time to think about the connection.

After all, in the King game not long ago, the floral fragrance of the headpieces worn by the twin sisters had merged together due to the first game, and for a moment, he couldn't even tell them apart.

However, this didn't hinder his subsequent actions.

Yawning, Hearing Luo Li immediately approached the purple, noble, and elegant figure.

On the other side, the cold top of the Tenshukaku.

Raiden Makoto looked out at the quiet courtyard located at the back, and could see the bamboo shadows swaying in the only room with lights on, and occasionally could catch a glimpse of two overlapping shadows.

She smiled gently, not having any thoughts about this.

After all, this was a result she had orchestrated herself.

"The floating world is a hundred scenes, a fleeting moment."

The Raiden Shogun, whispering to herself, had a deeper understanding of the fleeting moment over the five hundred years.

She didn't pursue longevity, but valued the time spent right now.

Being able to be with everyone, what kind of relationship it was didn't matter; what mattered was that everyone wasn't hurt and everyone felt happy.

For this, even if she made a little sacrifice herself, it didn't matter.

Besides...

"I was the one who came later anyway."

Compared to Ei, her budding feelings were much more restrained and quiet; if not for the five hundred years of being alone together, they probably wouldn't have been exposed.

Even if it weren't for this accident, once Ei and Hearing Luo Li were together, she would never have intervened.

Hearing Luo Li had completely guessed wrong; it seemed Raiden Makoto's conquest seemed very simple, but if the order were reversed, it would be impossible to unlock the ultimate achievement of the Raiden sisters in this lifetime.

Just as she was thinking this, a voice from behind interrupted Makoto.

"Isn't it boring to be alone? Let me keep you company."

Raiden Makoto turned to look, only to see Kitsune Saiguu, who should have left with Yae Miko, standing there perfectly fine.

The big fox spirit carried a smile that saw through the world, holding a pot of clear sake and two cups.

It was as if it were exactly the same scene as five hundred years ago when she had the idea to go to Khaenri'ah alone.

This good friend of hers, who had accompanied her for countless years, was always watching her no matter when.

Raiden Makoto couldn't help but laugh: "Alright, I was just worrying that no one would watch the sunrise with me; I don't know if the sunrise five hundred years later is any different from back then."

"Cackle, at a time like this, I'm still the one you can rely on!" ===== CHAPTER 488 =====
