Protagonist:

Xuan Ge

"How did you get here?"

Raiden Makoto looked at the Raiden Shogun wearing the Divine Garment, her brows furrowing slightly.

"Why can't I come?" The Raiden Shogun crossed her arms, looking at Shadow defiantly. "I also have feelings for Xuan Ge."

"That was so you could better fulfill Eternity and manage Inazuma well."

Hearing this, the Raiden Shogun did not rebut, because this was indeed Shadow's original intent.

But she was wholehearted; from the very beginning, she had a heart brimming with Xuan Ge.

"The Divine Child sent me, and told me a surefire reason."

"So it's the Divine Child..." Shadow nodded. That explained it; it wasn't strange anymore. Then she looked at the Raiden Shogun and asked, "What reason is surefire?"

"The Three Raiden Sisters."

Finishing speaking, the Raiden Shogun gave Shadow a meaningful glance.

"Huh? I only have an older sister, no younger sister." Shadow didn't quite turn around what these words meant.

Raiden Shogun: "......"

Seeing Shadow's silly look, the Raiden Shogun didn't get angry.

She wouldn't think this was Shadow not treating her as one of her own, but that Shadow really... was very silly.

From the memories, Shadow was either training in martial arts or on the way to train in martial arts.

Even if Raiden Makoto and Yae Miko taught her with care, Shadow still only thought about how to master martial arts well, to protect her sister well.

Until that day, the high-spirited Divine Might General ascended the Tenshukaku and crushed Shadow with pure martial arts; afterward, Raiden Makoto said not another word and just wanted to keep Xuan Ge in Inazuma.

But the Geo Archon wasn't a pushover; Morax's pressure vibrated to Inazuma, reminding them that Xuan Ge was his person.

The unconvinced Raiden Makoto came up with a reason that even the Geo Archon Morax had to acknowledge; she utilized the duel between Xuan Ge and Shadow, and forcibly turned it into a rule.

Raiden Makoto made Shadow the loser, and used Xuan Ge's impolite preference for large ones.

And then there was that engagement which made the Geo Archon fall silent and let the Anemo Archon seize the opportunity.

"Shadow, Xuan Ge likes large ones, and all three of us are large." The Raiden Shogun explained to the silly Shadow just who the Three Raiden Sisters were.

Shadow blanked for a moment, then looked at the Raiden Shogun happily and smiled: "Then that means... Sister will come back?"

She understood the Raiden Shogun's meaning; the Three Raiden Sisters referred to Raiden Makoto, her, and the Raiden Shogun.

If Sister could come back, she would definitely win.

"This depends on Xuan Ge; I can't give you a guarantee."

The Raiden Shogun shook her head slightly; she didn't give Shadow full hope.

She actually hoped Raiden Makoto would come back, but... if she really did come back, could she and Shadow really snatch him away?

Shadow perhaps still didn't know; back when Raiden Makoto joked about letting Shadow marry Xuan Ge, her expression actually wasn't that beautiful.

Because it wasn't her who lost to Xuan Ge, but Shadow who lost to Xuan Ge; that duel could only be done by Shadow, otherwise they couldn't have convinced the Geo Archon Morax.

"Mm...." Shadow nodded, didn't continue pressing, and didn't think about making Xuan Ge definitely go save Sister.

Resurrecting the dead is too heaven-defying; even if Xuan Ge is stronger, could he even return to the past...?

"It's getting late, all the Gods are here, let's go in quickly too." The Raiden Shogun looked at that little restaurant and reminded Shadow it was time to act.

She saw the dishes on the table were almost all served; Xuan Ge was still waiting.

"Mhm~" Shadow nodded.

Then the two walked side by side into that very down-to-earth restaurant.

The moment Shadow and the Raiden Shogun entered, both frowned in unison.

On Xuan Ge's left and right sides respectively were a blue-and-white-haired girl, and... the Ice God.

The Ice God perceived Shadow's hostile gaze; she looked back and did not move her seat.

"Yo... you can sit here," Furina scooted closer to Neuvillette, gesturing for this... uh, these two Raiden Gods to sit in her spot.

She had seen Shadow before, seen her during the siege of the Divine Might, but she wasn't clear on this woman beside her wearing the Divine Garment...

But these two people both had the same face, and both were large, so she just defaulted to assuming they were both the Divine Might's women.

"Many thanks." Raiden Makoto nodded, then brought the Raiden Shogun to sit in Furina's seat.

"Who is this?" Xuan Ge looked past Raiden Makoto at the person who looked exactly like Raiden Makoto.

"She is my older sister, I am the Raiden Shogun." The Raiden Shogun finished speaking, carefully observing Xuan Ge's expression.

"Sisters, nice." Xuan Ge nodded.

Sisters are good, sisters are really good.

As these words fell, the Raiden Shogun smiled in satisfaction, while Shadow was a bit puzzled why Xuan Ge was this happy.

"Food's here~" Xiangling brought up the last dish, Poached Black-Backed Sea Bass, and smiled: "Quick, have a taste, how is it?"

Xuan Ge, interrupted by Xiangling, also recovered. Just now, because of the term 'sisters', he had associated it with Xia Die and Bo Lv Qian Ya.

Xuan Ge picked up his chopsticks, still choosing the Xietie Doufu Tang.

Seeing Xuan Ge eat the tofu delightfully, Xiangling asked curiously: "Didn't expect you'd eat this dish first; Xuan Ge, could you be the Divine Might General reincarnated?"

"Ate pickled veggies rolled in tofu~ Xianzhou Tablet cannot compare to me." Xuan Ge didn't respond, and sang a little tune.

=Hearing this familiar tune, Xiangling scratched her head: "Shouldn't it be 'Ate pickled veggies rolled in tofu~ Rock King Dad cannot compare to me'?"

"Cough cough, no need to mind." Xuan Ge coughed lightly; just now he almost blurted out his ID. "Very delicious, taste is the same, truly worthy of being called Wanmin Hall."

Xuan Ge finished speaking, nodded in praise, and immediately threw himself into the dry-rice-man dry-rice-spirit.

"Hehe, then you guys eat first." Xiangling smiled happily, then returned to the counter to continue researching the Recipe.

Xuan Ge moved his Chopsticks, Zhongli also started eating; just now he and Childe were only Drinking Alcohol, it was all Venti wolfing down the food given with disdain.

Neuvillette saw Furina somewhat at a loss; he soothed her with a sentence: "Things have come to this, let's eat first."

"O... okay." Seeing everyone start moving, Furina also picked up her Chopsticks.

Although hard to use, the former Divine Might General taught her, so now she still knows how to use some, just a bit clumsily.

The Raiden Shogun and Shadow ate rice symbolically, and constantly observed the rice in Xuan Ge's Bowl.

Just as Xuan Ge swallowed the meat, the two women simultaneously reached out wanting to pick up a cold dish, but an unexpected person made a move.

"Heard you really like eating tofu."

The Ice Empress used a condensed Bing Chou to scoop a spoonful of cold tofu salad for Xuan Ge.

Xuan Ge didn't hesitate, nodded; no matter what this tofu is, it's tofu anyway.

Just as Xuan Ge was eating with the rice, lightning jumped once on the dining Table/Banquet.

Although fleeting, Xuan Ge saw it.

"Shadow, Xuan Ge is eating, please be a bit quieter."

The Ice Empress spoke calmly, signaling Shadow not to mind it too much, she did it on purpose.

Xuan Ge is the one she must secure; this is her purpose for coming here.

She knew, from the moment Divine Might fell she knew Xuan Ge would definitely return, because he said so himself.

"Ice God, are you not somewhat overstepping?"

The Raiden Shogun also calmly retorted; this woman absolutely wants Xuan Ge to go Deal With the Death Archon.

"I don't think so, because Xuan Ge has also overstepped with me."

The Ice God smiled faintly, ignoring Shadow's suppressed anger.

Since we must compete, we cannot Hide things away.

Moreover she clearly knows Shadow and Xuan Ge's engagement has no contract, no Geo Archon presided, no written signature.
