Chapter 786: Annoying Fox: Shadow, say

Xieyou Bookstore.

The light inside the shop gradually faded.

"It seems I really came back!"

Gazing at the familiar decor of the manga shop, Yae Miko's eyes flickered with delight.

Although she often visited the Tenshukaku.

But never as herself.

Not to mention, it was Inazuma from five hundred years ago!

So during the soul swap, she felt a faint discomfort.

After returning~, it finally vanished.

"Ah, my own body is so much more comfortable!"

Yae Miko happily stretched her body.

But when Yu Guang saw Raiden Shogun, he froze for a moment.

Why is she here?!

Could it be that,

Something happened during these few hours since I left?

Yae Miko furrowed her brows in thought.

"Could the boss have opened a branch store in Inazuma?"

Recalling the situation in Liyue, Yae Miko suddenly had a theory.

Only this could explain it.

As for why it was Raiden Shogun who came, not Raiden General,

She guessed something must have happened.

She'd ask later.

"Zhen, are you alright?"

At that moment, Raiden Shogun came over, looking worried.

Just now, she saw a brilliant light hovering above her sister's head,

Worried something was wrong, she rushed over.

But was blocked by some mysterious force.

Only when the light vanished did she manage to get through.

"Zhen?"

A hint of mischief flashed in Yae Miko's fox-like eyes.

From this address,

Clearly, the two sisters had recognized each other.

Thinking that her friend hadn't recognized her, Yae Miko's eyes turned.

"Cough, cough, Shadow, we haven't seen each other in so many years—can't you call me 'sister'?"

"Eh?"

Raiden Shogun blinked, momentarily stunned and adorable.

Previously, when she called her sister by name, Zhen never reacted.

Why would she ask her to call her 'sister' now?

"Could it be that seeing me from five hundred years later has made Sister's emotions stronger?"

Raiden Shogun thought inwardly.

But it's just one word—'sister'—

Nothing major.

Thinking this, Raiden Shogun gazed tenderly at Zhen.

"Sister!"

"Aww, good girl!"

Yae Miko smiled and pinched her friend's cheek.

That title made her feel utterly at ease.

It was worth the trip after all.

"Wait—you're not Zhen, you… you're Miko?!"

The sudden shift in her demeanor, and that foxish grin,

Finally made Raiden Shogun realize.

Dammit!

I got tricked!

I was fooled by this thing!

"Shadow, my dear little sister—call me 'sister' one more time?"

Yae Miko leaned in lightly, teasing with a smile.

Getting to take a little advantage over her friend through this identity,

She was in high spirits.

"Don't even think about it—get back quickly! Alice has come to Inazuma!"

Hearing this annoying fox tease her again, Raiden Shogun's face darkened.

Then she walked out of the shop.

As for the term "sister."

She didn't intend to hold it against them.

After all, meeting a sister from five hundred years ago filled Raiden Shogun's heart with deep gratitude.

"What? That witch has actually come?"

Upon hearing this news, Yaoyao furrowed her brows.

Her expression grew unusually serious.

That witch is one of the very few women who even she finds difficult to handle!

As a child, she had been bullied by her often!

Many of her darkest memories are tied to Alice.

But she had once succeeded in getting revenge.

She had simply gotten her drunk with alcohol!

"I must go back and properly confront her!"

A flicker of interest passed over Yaoyao's face.

Back then, she was just a child, so she was bullied by that woman.

But now…

Who's really bullying whom?

Thinking of this, Yaoyao turned and walked toward the counter,

After all, if she wanted to return to Inazuma, she still needed the boss's help.

"Welcome back, Young Lady Yaoyao!"

Looking at the familiar sly fox, Han Feng smiled softly.

"Thank you, Boss, for this opportunity—I am deeply grateful.

If the chance arises, please visit the Kamisato Shrine; I will let you experience the flavors of Inazuma."

Yaoyao bowed respectfully in thanks.

In front of the boss, her demeanor was extremely reverent.

A single reward from him could send her back five hundred years,

One can only imagine how mysterious and powerful the boss is!
