Chapter 261: Chapter 260 Muttering to herself, Yae Miko tried to use her abilities, preparing to leave the Plane of Euthymia.

Muttering to herself, Yae Miko tried to use her abilities, preparing to leave the Plane of Euthymia.

No sooner had she finished speaking than a flash of lightning appeared. The Raiden Shogun was incredibly fast, appearing before Yae Miko in an instant, grabbing her hand, and staring into her eyes.

"Is the Makoto you’re talking about my sister, Miko? Did Durandal go to the shrine to find you today?"

"I thought you weren’t interested in this, Ei. What? Not busy with your own affairs anymore?"

"Matters have different priorities, and you should know that. Don’t joke with me about this, Miko. Speak clearly, or I’ll get angry. And when I get angry, I can’t help but want to greet your face with Musou Isshin."

"Then forget it, I can’t handle that kind of hospitality."

Striking a standard surrender pose, Yae Miko readily told Raiden Ei what had happened at the shrine, and also explained the reason for their visit.

The information about the Sacred Sakura Cleansing and Hanachirusato was all conveyed to Raiden Ei, who listened with a shocked expression.

"Inazuma... Inazuma still has so many problems? Why didn’t you tell me before!? Did you want to see the Tatarasuna God erupt!?"

"Why are you being so fierce? Even if I told you, could you handle those Tatarasuna God? You wouldn’t seriously think that just taking a sword and cutting down the Tatarasuna God would solve everything, would you? If it were really that easy to solve, would I have dragged it out until now?"

This person doesn’t understand anything and is just being fierce. She hid it because she didn’t want her to worry, and also to prevent her from causing trouble.

Not only did she not appreciate her efforts, but she even scolded her. It was too much.

It seems... that is indeed the case. Raiden Ei, as a warrior, truly had no good way to deal with this matter. Given her condition a while ago, she might really have taken Musou Isshin to cut down that miasmic tumor. If that happened, the miasmic tumor would explode, and Inazuma would be finished.

However... "A Shrine Priestess who inherited Kuzuhara’s consciousness... Why didn’t she seek you or me, knowing the specific procedure for the Sacred Sakura Cleansing, but instead sought someone from outside the island to handle it?"

"Because she herself is made of Tatarasuna God. If she came to me, I would only eliminate her as a Ruinous Power. As for you, it would be even more impossible. It’s not that simple to see you. Besides, would you believe someone you’ve never met?"

Think about it. Someone you’ve never met comes to the Raiden Shogun, claiming to have inherited Kuzuhara’s memories, knowing the specific procedure for the Sacred Sakura Cleansing, and needing the Raiden Shogun’s cooperation to deal with the Tatarasuna God of the sacred sakura tree.

Are you sure this isn’t some kind of scam? Would the Raiden Shogun wait for her to finish speaking? Or would she just cut her down with her sword?

"Alright, you don’t need to worry about these things for now. She’s at the shrine right now, you can go find her anytime. I came to see you this time for Makoto’s sake."

Indeed, not just Raiden Ei, Yae Miko was also very concerned about Raiden Makoto.

Now that Raiden Makoto was attached to Durandal, and Durandal was an existence they couldn’t provoke, they had to discuss the subsequent matters carefully.

"Sister? Do you have any good ideas? According to Sister, she came back to life because of Durandal. If she leaves Durandal, she won’t be able to maintain her soul. Could it be that besides consciousness, you’re also involved with souls?"

"I’m not that amazing. It’s just... I’m a little uneasy. Even though everything she’s done in Inazuma hasn’t been bad, still... I’m not comfortable leaving Makoto with her."

This was a lie. Compared to other places, Durandal could provide Raiden Makoto with better protection. Durandal’s place was absolutely safe.

She just wanted to see Raiden Makoto more freely, and to be able to act more spoiled towards Raiden Makoto.

"...I can’t do anything, Miko. I also really want my sister to stay in the Tenshukaku, but you know, she’s already dead, and only her soul remains with Durandal."

"Yes, I know."

The two most powerful people in Inazuma fell silent. On other matters, they had solutions, but on this matter, they were helpless.

Actually, things weren’t as hopeless as they seemed. As long as they maintained a good relationship with Durandal, they would have a chance to meet Raiden Makoto.

Compared to before, when they couldn’t meet at all, they at least had a chance to meet now, didn’t they?

"But... she’s the Traveler from Mondstadt. She’ll eventually leave Inazuma. As soon as she leaves Inazuma, Sister will leave with her."

"Then just make her stay in Inazuma. No matter what, we have to make her stay. This is what you and I need to do now, Ei."

Since they couldn’t force Durandal to stay, they had to think of other ways to make Durandal stay, so that Raiden Makoto would also remain in Inazuma.

"So... what should we do?" Raiden Ei looked at Yae Miko, puzzled. She hadn’t thought as much about this as Yae Miko had. Since Yae Miko brought it up, she must already have a plan.

"Hehehe~"

Facing Raiden Ei’s gaze, Yae Miko just smiled mysteriously.

She... of course had a way.
