Chapter 53: Chiyo feeding him! Saiguu dancing! Raiden Shogun sitting by!

~5 min read 998 words

Inazuma!

Narukami Island! Tenshukaku!

When Luo Li used his spatial teleportation ability to break directly into it, he found that Makoto, who should have been working at her desk for Inazuma, was not on the throne at this moment.

"She couldn't have left already, could she?"

He looked around and found that the tea on the desk was still emitting white mist with residual warmth, knowing that the owner of the room had only just left.

Treating the Raiden Shogun's office as his own living room, Luo Li walked out to search for her whereabouts.

Pushing open the sliding door leading to the corridor, the sounds from the Imperial Garden suddenly grew louder.

"So she's over here."

Without stopping, he headed toward the Imperial Garden that belonged exclusively to the Raiden Shogun; the closer he got, the more Luo Li could hear the laughter of many women intertwined together.

Circling around the garden gate and passing through the screen.

Accompanied by the breeze, a beautiful scene appeared before his eyes.

The Raiden twins were sitting under a cherry blossom tree, Makoto stroking a little fox in her hands, with an opened parasol placed behind her.

Both of them were smiling as they watched the duo dancing in the center of the courtyard.

There, it was the moon-faced Oni girl and the alluring Hakushin kitsune.

The two danced beautifully, weaving through the flying petals, their fluttering ribbons very light.

"You actually abandoned me to enjoy yourselves alone."

Seeing Makoto at that moment, Luo Li relaxed and walked toward them with a smile.

Although he knew it was impossible for them to have left so quickly, he still breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing them.

Hearing the sound, Makoto shifted her gaze to Luo Li and said reproachfully: "You have the nerve to blame us; I don't know who stayed in Liyue and forgot to return, actually taking two months to come back."

This sounded like the resentment of a wife whose husband was out carousing and suddenly remembered to come home.

Carefully examining Makoto's expression and finding nothing amiss, Luo Li explained insincerely.

"Cough, it was mainly Barbatos, dragging me and not letting me leave; you know that guy's personality."

Ei said coldly: "Next time we meet, I'll slash him first."

Muttering that good brothers were meant to block blades, Luo Li didn't mention anything about Rosalyne.

Listening to the explanation, Makoto stared at him meaningfully and ultimately chose not to expose him.

Regardless, it counted as having barely muddled through.

Luo Li came to the side of the Raiden twins, and just as he sat down, Mikoshi Chiyo, who was dancing with Kitsune Saiguu, took the initiative to entangle herself with him.

The tall Oni girl was like a geisha, giggling and hovering around him.

Her crimson skin added a different kind of charm to her, an attraction originating from a non-human species.

Luo Li, being teased, had clear eyes, his gaze flowing over the two with pure appreciation.

Kitsune Saiguu laughed softly: "Chiyo, your charm isn't working anymore, oh."

The fox woman, who had been gone for over a month, hadn't changed at all, as fond of teasing people as ever.

Unable to stand the provocation, Chiyo gave a light snort and decided to let go a bit more.

In order to attract Luo Li's attention, she had secretly consulted the most famous geisha in Inazuma in private, asking what kind of dance could make people unable to look away.

It had to be said, she had learned it well.

After the change in style, even Luo Li couldn't help but stop his gaze on Chiyo multiple times.

"Alright, you win."

Helplessly, Kitsune Saiguu admitted her skills were inferior and stepped down from the center, leaving the stage to Chiyo.

Makoto couldn't help but purse her lips; it was rare to see her good friend get bested.

Leaning against the cherry tree, Luo Li teased: "Ei, aren't you going to try?"

Being able to make the future Raiden Shogun dance for oneself was an achievement almost unprecedented and unlikely to be repeated.

Ei was quite moved by this suggestion.

Kitsune Saiguu enjoyed watching the fun and, from somewhere, produced a plate of pastries, tempting them:

"Let Luo Li be the judge; the winner can get the snacks I made myself."

Luo Li immediately echoed: "I have no problem with that."

Generally, when provoked like this, the highly competitive Ei would usually agree, but this time she fell into hesitation, considering it repeatedly before finally giving up with difficulty.

"I'm not very good at this, so forget it."

The plan to induce Ei to dance failed, and Luo Li felt quite disappointed.

If this could be recorded with a prototype of the Memento Lens and shown in the future, it would definitely be a treasure-like existence.

In the center of the courtyard, Chiyo, who had finished her dance, rushed over impatiently.

"I won! The prize is mine!"

"Alright, alright, it's all yours."

Saiguu couldn't help but laugh, handing the prize to the winner as if coaxing a child.

Taking the snack, Chiyo didn't savor the thrill of victory first, but instead picked up a piece of soft cake and fed it to Luo Li's mouth.

Kitsune Saiguu, seeing this, made a clicking sound and mocked: "Gods as companions, Saiguu dancing, the Oni general fawning; if this got out, all the men in the world would probably envy you."

Luo Li agreed with these words very much, vaguely feeling a sense of floating.

Just kidding, if anyone else were in this situation, they would probably be so happy they wouldn't even know their own name.

But while others could say it, what right did you, who had a favor to ask earlier, have to say it?

Luo Li bit into the cake and asked in a questioning tone: "Hmm? Some people probably forgot who was looking after the Grand Narukami Shrine when they left." ===== CHAPTER 55 =====
