"Infinite water, soil, seeds, and some of the Creator's authority. I never thought that by gathering these things, we could achieve crops that ripen in a few days even in Teyvat. For the common people of Inazuma, this is probably more surprising than the elusive god's eye."
In the official fields of Inazuma City, Kamisato Ayaka expressed this sentiment.
"Ayaka cares so much for the common people; no wonder she has the beautiful reputation of Shirasagi Himegimi. To have such a wife, I've truly hit the jackpot."
"Oh, no, I just did some insignificant things. It's people like Jack who truly contributed to Inazuma, but they don't crave fame or show their faces like me."
"This isn't 'showing your face'? That so-called 'heavenly marriage' Yae Miko arranged is known throughout Inazuma. How am I supposed to… uh, I mean, find reasons to complete the ceremonies with the other girls later?"
Kamisato Ayaka smiled slyly: "Hehe, well, Sister Yae Miko said to let Gong Qu figure that out himself."
"Oh, you! Ayaka, you're starting to tease me too! Take this tickle attack!"
Jack suddenly hugged Kamisato Ayaka from behind, restricting her movements, and immediately began to attack the ticklish spots on both sides of her waist.
The young woman instantly let out bell-like laughter.
"Haha, Gong Qu, no, don't… I'm sorry! I'm really sorry!"
Kamisato Ayaka's pleas for mercy lasted for a minute or two.
As she kept calling out, the mood began to change.
Her clothes became disheveled, her eyes gradually glazed over, and her delicate appearance was simply inviting mischief.
Fortunately, this place was temporarily the most secretive in all of Inazuma, accessible only to those truly trusted by Inazuma's Narukami.
Like a certain big fox who was idle all day.
"Oh dear, this concubine is busy off her feet, yet the groom of the wedding is still flirting with other girls in a sparsely populated area. If Raiden Ei found out, wouldn't it rain heavily for several days straight?"
Jack released Kamisato Ayaka's mouth and looked at the newcomer.
"You repeat that to Raiden Ei, and I guarantee that before it rains heavily in the sky, someone will get a good beating."
"Come on, I didn't say anything bad about her. Why would she hit me?"
"Just because of your annoying tone!" Jack patted Yae Miko's thigh and said, "You know Raiden Ei doesn't really like the way you talk, but you always provoke her nerves like that. So… Yae Miko, are you actually a masochist?"
"Then do you want to be my sadist?"
"Sure, you even know the meaning of those two words?" Jack said with a double meaning.
"That's only because you always bring up those words."
Yae Miko looked at Jack with a resentful gaze.
Although she might, perhaps, have a tiny bit of a masochistic tendency, and felt a somewhat abnormal pleasure when Jack treated her violently.
But this guy always talked about it in front of the other sisters, so now everyone knew about her quirk.
"Alright, alright, little fox, be good. After these last few days, you'll be able to indulge."
"Hmm, but that's still a long time away."
Yae Miko's body softened, and she also fell into Jack's arms, pouting her lips to show her dissatisfaction.
Jack pinched her elastic lips and said.
"Then why did you go to all this trouble to arrange this heavenly marriage? Do our union still need anyone's recognition?"
"It does!"
"Whose?"
Yae Miko quietly looked in the direction of Narukami Shrine.
Jack suddenly realized, the name of that existence was on the tip of his tongue.
Raiden Makoto.
Raiden Ei's sister, the previous Raiden Shogun of Inazuma, an existence that had almost merged with Inazuma's ley lines as if embodying the Dao.
Now that her younger sister was getting married, she should naturally know.
No, perhaps not just Raiden Makoto.
Jack looked at Yae Miko, who was showing a nostalgic expression.
Perhaps, that person like her mother, Fox Saiguu, was also among them.
"Yae Miko!"
"Hmm?"
"I'm going to Mondstadt and Liyue to make this wedding lively!"
Yae Miko looked at him in surprise: "But won't Sister Ganyu and Keqing have objections, since they haven't had similar ceremonies in Teyvat?"
"Don't worry, I'll handle their emotional work!"
...
And so, an hour later.
Mondstadt City, Knights of Favonius.
Inside Acting Grand Master Jean's office.
Jack sat on the reception sofa in Jean's office, quietly drinking black tea.
Lisa waited by his side, pouring tea for Jack.
"You mean you're getting married to the Raiden Shogun of Inazuma?"
"Yes."
"In just seven days?"
"That's right."
Their conversation was very brief.
Lisa couldn't stand it anymore and said directly.
"Jean, if you're uncomfortable saying it, then I will. Is this wedding ceremony your idea or the Raiden Shogun's idea?"
"Neither. It's the High Priestess Yae Miko, a familiar of the Raiden Shogun, who is in charge of organizing it."
Lisa frowned.
If she wasn't mistaken, that High Priestess was also a member of Jack's harem, but why would she facilitate the Raiden Shogun's wedding and cause herself discomfort?
"The emotional matters of a god shouldn't need to be announced to the public, right? Why would that High Priestess come up with the idea of publicizing it?"
"That might involve a rather long story. Would you like to hear it?"
"We'd love to hear the details."
Jean replied curiously.
So Jack beckoned to her, and Jean shyly leaned over, with her and Lisa each occupying one of his arms.
With beauties in his arms, Jack softly said.
"This goes back to the Archon War in Inazuma. At that time, several Archons in Inazuma were vying for power, and those on Narukami Island were a pair of twin Electro Archons, the sisters Baal and Baalzebul."
Next, Jack told the two about ancient Inazuma.
He had asked Raiden Ei and Yae Miko about the details of this matter, so it was much more detailed than the general game text.
Including how Archon Baal, Raiden Makoto, used means to evade the scrutiny of Celestia, allowing Raiden Ei to become her kagemusha, thus avoiding the impact of the Archon War.
After the story was finished, both women were deeply moved.
"I didn't expect Inazuma to have a history ruled by twin gods, and that the previous Raiden Shogun actually perished in the upheaval 500 years ago."
Jean sighed, feeling a bit of sympathy for the sister she had never met.
With friends and family passing away one after another, she must have had a difficult life.
Lisa didn't think as much. She was more concerned about the loopholes in Celestia's scrutiny and why Yae Miko was holding the heavenly marriage ceremony at this critical juncture.
"The structure of the Sacred Sakura Tree should be very different from Sumeru's Irminsul, right? Can I do a little research on this?"
"What, professional habit kicking in?"
Jack teased Lisa.
Lisa smiled: "Don't worry, it won't involve forbidden knowledge. I'm just curious about the operating mechanism of the Sacred Sakura Tree. After all, hearing you say it, it feels like the Sacred Sakura Tree has its own consciousness within it. Perhaps the deceased former Raiden Shogun still has a glimmer of life?"
"Hmm, your guess is not without reason. After all, I met Miss Hanachirusato before, and she is a byproduct born from the operation of the Sacred Sakura Tree."
Jack recalled the short-haired shrine maiden, Miss Hanachirusato. Apart from Inazuma's main storyline, Hanachirusato was the NPC that left the deepest impression on him in all Inazuma quests.
