Chapter 730: The Guqin's Sense of Crisis: I Was Clearly Here First, Yet Keqing Beat Me to It

~3 min read 518 words

"An ordinary manga shop owner…"

Even Raiden Ei, who had weathered great storms and was always composed, couldn't help but twitch at the corner of her mouth.

Could an ordinary manga shop owner know her true identity?

Could an ordinary manga shop owner possess a means to make her elemental power vanish?

He could.

Boss, you've redefined what "ordinary" means!

Also, what exactly is this manga shop?

Raiden Ei gazed at the black-haired youth before her, her eyes full of curiosity.

Though it was only their first meeting, she somehow felt he was hiding many secrets.

Even knowing the other party might be an eternal enemy,

she still couldn't help wanting to approach him.

This feeling struck her as very strange.

Han Feng was unaware of Raiden Ei's thoughts. Seeing Raiden Makoto walking over,

he gave a faint smile.

"Time is running short. Spend it well reuniting with your sister — we'll meet again at 'nine-five-three'."

"What do you mean time is running short? And what do you mean by 'sister'?"

Hearing Han Feng's words, Raiden Ei's body gave a sudden, sharp shudder.

She wanted to go over and ask him something.

But Han Feng's figure gradually faded before her eyes.

As if he had never existed at all.

If Raiden Ei couldn't clearly sense the lingering touch on her body,

she would have thought it was all just an illusion.

"The 'sister' he mentioned — could he be referring to the Divine Child?"

Raiden Ei's heart stirred.

She had harbored such a guess before.

But she quickly grew puzzled again.

Wasn't the Divine Child once her sister's pet?

How could they possibly be the same person?

"Or perhaps they really are the same person? Is the Divine Child truly a transformed wisp of soul?

In fact, there never was anyone called Yae Miko at all??"

Raiden Ei's mind suddenly began to spin wild fantasies.

Otherwise, there was no way to explain all of this.

Actually, this wasn't really her fault —

after all, who in their right mind could imagine that Yae Miko could swap souls with Raiden Makoto from five hundred years ago?

"Ei, what are you thinking about?"

While Raiden Ei was lost in thought, a familiar voice drifted over.

Raiden Ei followed the sound with her gaze.

She saw "Yae Miko" twirling a pink wooden parasol as she came to her side.

Smiling brightly at her.

Apart from the difference in appearance,

that expression, that bearing, that personality — it was simply identical to Raiden Makoto.

This made Raiden Ei all the more certain of her guess.

"Makoto — so Yae Miko really is you!"

Stepping forward to grasp Raiden Makoto's hand, Raiden Ei's heart was a tangle of emotions.

There was excitement, there was joy, and there was a touch of grievance.

If she'd known earlier that her sister was fine, she wouldn't have buried herself in the Plane of Euthymia.

All these years, Makoto must have been silently laughing at her.

Raiden Makoto: (⊙_⊙)

What on earth is this clingy little sister of mine saying?

Why can't I understand any of it?
