Chapter 377 The Little Game of Truth and Shadow

Qin Yu and Kujou Sara discussed their cultivation experiences, and the atmosphere grew heated.

Thus, the two drunkards became drinking buddies, even starting to hook arms and almost pledging brotherhood on the spot.

Finally, after Kujou Sara made a series of embarrassing remarks about how much she admired the Electro Archon, she passed out.

...

"Let me go, I can still drink!"

Ei took Qin Yu's wine cup away, and he still mumbled indignantly.

As everyone knows, drunk people always insist they are not drunk.

At this moment, the only thing about him that could be "hard" was his mouth.

"Yu, you're even talking nonsense!"

Ei said indignantly, giving him a symbolic punch, and without further ado, pulled him back to Yae Miko's side.

In the process of being pulled, contact was inevitable.

"Mmmph—who turned off the lights—"

Just as Qin Yu was about to struggle, he was softened by the familiar yet unfamiliar presence and calmed down.

It turned out to be a beautiful woman.

He seemed to be quite drunk, even speaking in Inazuman dialect.

"Really... just like a child, and he's going to be a father."

Ei gently hugged Qin Yu, her watery, gentle eyes filled with a mixture of resentment and affection.

Thinking back now, she was also present that day.

Could the child they hadn't met yet be considered the fruit of their labor?

Ei didn't know that in such a short period of time, there would be no signs.

In other words, this was a life conceived by Ei and Qin Yu much earlier.

"He's really drunk like this."

Ei gently held Qin Yu, letting him lie on her lap to rest.

"Mmm... Ei... Ei?"

Qin Yu enjoyed Ei's lap pillow, opened his mouth, and mumbled indistinctly.

Seeing the enigmatic smile on his face, no one knew what he was dreaming about.

"..."

Ei gently caressed his face, her eyes filled with the tenderness of a mature wife.

A gentle breeze blew, and a few strands of hair fell on her exquisite cheeks, adding a touch of beauty.

The man she entrusted her life to, her reunited friend, and her sister.

And an even more beautiful Inazuma.

There was nothing more peaceful than this.

Perhaps, this was also a form of eternity.

"Ei, when do you plan to tell Yu the truth?"

Ei teased from the side.

She was so curious about how Ei would raise a child.

Would they eat sweets and read light novels together every day?

Or would they practice swordsmanship?

They could sleep in the Tenshukaku when they were tired, no problem.

Raiden Makoto, who enjoyed stirring up trouble.

"Let's talk about it later, I'm not ready yet."

Ei blinked her purple eyes, her gaze somewhat evasive.

Even as a god, suddenly becoming a soon-to-be mother would make one flustered.

After all, in the past, when faced with problems, she would just draw her sword and cut them down.

This was clearly not an option now.

What's more...

"Yu still has his mission."

Ei murmured softly and leaned down.

With a soft "chu," she gently kissed Qin Yu's cheek.

It was both an caress and encouragement.

"Yes... this is something Yu must accomplish."

Ei looked up at the distant azure sky and smiled gently.

This time, everything would surely be fine.

...

Time flowed by like falling cherry blossoms.

Finally, Qin Yu slowly woke up.

"Ei, Ei?"

He shook his dizzy head and instinctively tried to sit up.

But the faint fragrance emanating from his side made him give up the idea.

He turned his head to look.

The beauty resting with her eyes closed was exquisite and peaceful in her sleep.

Through the collar of her loose kimono, a hint of fair skin could be seen.

In short, she was beautiful.

Qin Yu honestly reached out and quietly hugged the two women.

"...Yu, you're awake."

Ei and Ei noticed the movement and opened their eyes.

Seeing that they had been sleeping lazily next to Qin Yu, their pretty faces immediately flushed, and they looked at each other.

Sister (Sister), you promised to wake me up later!

They instinctively wanted to push themselves up but were stopped.

"You've been pinning me down for so long, and now you want to leave?"

Qin Yu raised an eyebrow and said meaningfully.

He gazed at the two beauties, whose hair was slightly disheveled, and his heart began to beat faster.

A bold thought that had been suppressed in his heart gradually became clear.

He wanted to eat the rice bowls made by Ei and Ei.

"Do you want to continue the game we were playing earlier?"

This time, it was a dare.

"Yu, no...!"

Ei quickly held Qin Yu's hand, turned her face away unnaturally, and whispered.

"?"

Qin Yu was stunned and stopped his actions.

He could feel Ei's hesitation, as if she was worried about something.

Was this still the same battle-loving leader who sparred with him every day?

"Yu, Ei has been having some insights into her divine power recently, so it's inconvenient."

At a critical moment, Ei stepped in to smooth things over and change the subject.

"So, Ei should rest for now."

After saying this, Ei glanced at Ei, speaking in a way that seemed thoughtful and caring.

"?"

Ei looked at Ei with a lingering gaze and found something strange.

She suddenly felt stabbed in the back.

"Is that so? Then..."

Qin Yu heard this and felt a little regretful but understood.

Although he didn't know what was going on, his health was the priority.

After all, the leader was still in the preparation stage for pregnancy, and he couldn't afford to be careless.

"Don't listen to Ei's nonsense, I can participate."

Ei, unwilling to be outdone, lifted her chin, her long legs in delicate black stockings crossing.

Her watery purple eyes shone with affectionate desire, making one captivated.

Who said sword fighting could only be done in one way?

As an Electro Archon, she had always defended Ei from disasters.

And now, it was time for Ei to take the lead, and for her to assist from behind.

"?"

Qin Yu seemed to understand something and couldn't help but glance at Ei.

Judging by the leader's attitude, she had a new idea today?

Wait a minute, he was a decent person.

"Ei, what do you want to do... Ah!"

Ei didn't react in time before being grabbed by Ei.

This dare would still be conducted in the Serenitheater, it seemed.
