The little dancer from Sumeru finally met the young lady from the Yashiro Commission.
Setting aside how harmonious the atmosphere between the two was for now.
Qin, this fellow, felt like he was about to crash and burn.
...
Below Mount Yougou, within a small grove.
"Yu, what are you doing?"
The crisp, clear voice made Qin Yu freeze in place.
Instantly, a giant "Danger" sign materialized above his head.
This voice belonged to the Head Leader.
Why would she suddenly appear here?
"Ei, I..."
Qin Yu opened his mouth, instinctively wanting to turn around.
Head Leader, let me explain first!
However, before he could turn, his entire body stiffened.
Because...
Something hard and unyielding pressed against his flank.
It was a sword hilt.
The Head Leader had actually drawn her Dream Mistake.
Qin, this fellow, immediately became obedient.
"Speak, what punishment do you choose?"
The voice behind him drew closer, its tone lingering.
As she spoke, she seemed to be suppressing something.
"Can I not choose?"
Qin Yu saluted in the Fontaine style, attempting to bargain.
Head Leader, you just became a wife, violence is bad for your health.
We need to think about our future children!
"Hmph, who wants to have children with you?"
The hard object behind him pressed harder, a threat.
Her tone became fierce.
"?"
Qin Yu blinked slightly, keenly sensing something was off.
The Head Leader's tone seemed more lively.
And...
He hadn't even mentioned children, how did Ei know?
Unless there was a soul connection.
Could it be... true?
"..."
The "Head Leader" seemed to realize she'd been exposed and fell silent.
The hardness pressing against Qin Yu's flank retracted slightly.
"Don't move!"
"Okay, I won't."
Qin Yu started trying to get closer.
"Head Leader?"
"What is it?"
"You don't want to have children with me, does that make you sad?"
In this situation, would tattling to older sister work?
"...!"
The voice behind him clearly hadn't expected Qin, this fellow, to deviate from the script.
That's right, the one who suddenly appeared was indeed Raiden Makoto.
Incidentally, the body was Raiden Ei.
Makoto then realized.
Ei was now a married woman.
The matter of preparing for pregnancy should indeed be put on the agenda.
But this kind of thing...
Having children, raising babies, and so on.
Makoto subconsciously touched her flat stomach.
As the elder sister, she had no experience either.
Would the God of Wisdom next door know about such forbidden knowledge?
Moreover...
Makoto felt a sense of unreality for a moment.
This half-joking, half-serious tone.
Was it directed at Ei, or at Makoto?
"Head Leader?"
Qin Yu blinked.
Why had she stopped talking?
"How would I know about such things?"
Makoto snorted softly, evading the question.
Qin Yu: ?
What "such things" was she referring to?
Before he could ponder this, his arm was poked.
"Alright, is Ei that scary?"
Makoto withdrew Dream Mistake and came to Qin Yu's side, teasing him.
It was too tiring to maintain a stern face and pretend to be her sister all the time.
"Respect the Head Leader, never contradict."
Qin Yu scratched his head and started reciting slogans.
Alright, perhaps I can contradict occasionally.
"You've got something on your conscience."
Makoto saw right through Qin, this fellow.
Tell me, which woman is it this time?
As Ei's sister, she naturally hoped for a harmonious future... family.
"Ahem... it's not about which woman."
Qin, this fellow, had arranged to meet three people in one night.
"?"
A bit awkward.
"If you don't want to say, that's fine. Come walk with me."
Makoto shook her head and took Qin Yu deeper into the grove.
Stepping onto Inazuman soil again after centuries.
The sakura tree rejoiced, singing praises.
The darkness that had plagued Inazuma had finally dissipated.
While happy, Makoto naturally wanted to explore more.
With the person who had changed Inazuma's fate.
This was time meant for the two of them alone.
Sister, you won't mind, will you?
"Okay."
Qin Yu smiled and nodded at the eager Makoto.
The fourth person, here she comes.
...
In the grove, Qin Yu and Makoto walked side by side.
Under the gentle moonlight, everything around was draped in a pure white, soft veil, dreamlike and beautiful.
Of course, all this beauty paled in comparison to...
Qin Yu subconsciously looked at the beauty beside him, his gaze soft.
Being with Makoto felt marvelous.
It was an inseparable bond.
Peaceful, comfortable.
It felt as if all the worries in his heart would be forgotten.
"Staring at big sister like that, you're not behaving."
Makoto noticed Qin Yu's gaze and pretended to be stern.
Of course, the slight upturn of her lips betrayed her mood.
She didn't dislike it.
"...Sorry."
Qin Yu snapped back to reality and averted his gaze.
The atmosphere suddenly felt a little off.
Looking at her sister's body in the presence of her sister's consciousness.
Whose fault was it, really?
Hoo... calm down, calm down.
He was a decent person.
So, it might as well be both sisters together.
"An apology requires a gesture of sincerity, doesn't it?"
Makoto's beautiful eyes curved slightly, clearly not planning to let Qin Yu off the hook.
"I'll treat you to Three-Color Dumplings."
Qin Yu decisively produced his ace in the hole for Ei and attempted to bribe the elder sister.
It was extremely effective.
"Alright, I accept."
Makoto took the dumplings and winked playfully.
I mustn't let Ei know.
Big sister secretly eating little sister's boyfriend's... dessert.
"..."
Qin Yu gazed at Makoto as she took the dumplings, his thoughts drifting.
The touch that brushed his fingertips inadvertently was warm and delicate.
It was Ei's body, yet...
The strange stimulation in his heart...
"Daydreaming again."
Makoto bit into Qin Yu's dumpling, her words slightly muffled.
The rich sweetness brought a genuine, relaxed smile to her face.
Big sister also likes little sister's things.
Qin Yu's eyes brightened slightly, he didn't respond.
He was looking at her openly, deserving praise.
"By the way, here's a gift for you."
Qin Yu took out the paper and pen he had "borrowed" from Columbia.
Under the light, he drew a picture and handed it to Makoto.
"Pfft... such a casual art style."
Makoto took it curiously, the corner of her mouth twitching.
Three little figures holding hands, looking quite cute.
Qin Yu and the Raiden sisters.
"Don't discourage me."
Qin Yu looked at Makoto, who was trying to suppress a laugh, and couldn't help but smile.
"Thanks, Yu."
Makoto hugged the drawing to her chest and closed her eyes.
A warmth quietly spread throughout her body.
Her surprised tone and brilliant smile said it all.
She really liked this painting.
"I'm glad you like it."
Qin Yu admired the beauty's smile, feeling content.
Perhaps making up for past regrets was for this very moment.
Simple, yet warm enough.
"Hey, Yu."
"Hmm?"
"What do you think is the most beautiful existence in the world?"
"You and Ei."
"Be serious!"
Qin Yu was playfully punched, showing a helpless expression.
"Serious..."
How should he respond?
Qin Yu looked in the direction of Inazuma City, his gaze drifting slightly.
Suddenly, his eyes widened.
"Yu?"
Makoto came to Qin Yu's side and followed his gaze towards the night sky.
The next moment, she blinked.
Beautiful lights streaked across the night sky.
"Are those... fireworks?"
Makoto murmured.
Distant lights, like shooting stars.
Finally, flowers bloomed, their radiance scattering.
They burst in the night sky, brilliant and beautiful.
"It's so beautiful, Inazuma City."
Qin Yu's hushed words made Makoto's eyes sparkle.
A prosperous Inazuma City.
It was a beauty beyond words.
"Yu."
Makoto turned to Qin Yu, looking at his profile.
It seemed the beauty of Inazuma City held no appeal.
"Makoto?"
Qin Yu and Makoto met each other's eyes.
Under the brilliant night sky, they quietly nuzzled.
Though they didn't know who set off the fireworks,
Thank you.
Just as the atmosphere was heating up.
"Yu, another girl is coming."
"?"
Qin Yu's wide eyes reflected Makoto's playful smile.
"Then I'll hide in the realm of Introspection."
"Have fun."
Qin Yu, now alone, was stunned.
Because he simultaneously sensed...
Columbia, Yae Miko, Lumine.
This, this isn't right!
