Faced with Raiden Ei's sudden return to nature, everyone was caught off guard.
Should one say she lacked common sense, or lacked a sense of shame?
Perhaps she lacked both.
But this was also a manifestation of her innocent heart.
It was this kind of sincerity and unwavering true self that allowed her to achieve such great accomplishments in martial arts.
"I've taken it off. How do I wear this? Do I just put it on?"
Ei looked at the Shiromuku, which was divided into several layers, and gave up on the idea of putting it on herself.
Taking it off was fine, but if she tried to put it on herself, she would definitely tear the clothes by using the wrong force.
"Let me help you with this!"
Komura Mio quickly stepped forward.
This was an opportunity to serve Inazuma's divine being, what a great fortune! The devout Raiden Shogun worshipper, shop owner Komura Mio, naturally would not yield!
And as Ei changed in front of everyone, Yae Miko covered her mouth with a small folding fan and nudged Jack, saying,
"How is it? Although my Ei isn't very bright, her figure is quite good, wouldn't you say?"
"Plump and graceful, a beautiful woman. Ei is impeccable in that regard."
"My little rascal's words are always so pleasant to hear. Then… why don't you touch mine again? Who do you think is better?"
Yae Miko grabbed Jack's hand and placed it in front of herself, raising an eyebrow at Ei.
Clearly, she was stirring up trouble again.
Ei's attention was drawn by their conversation, and she watched Jack without blinking, clearly wanting to hear his answer.
Jack, annoyed, pressed down a bit harder and increased a certain person's sensitivity coefficient.
"Oh!"
Yae Miko felt a lightning-like sensation, covering her heart and retreating repeatedly, her pretty face tinged with a blush.
"Little rascal, you're using so much force~"
"Stop trying to provoke and incite. Miko, you're afraid Ei will go easy on you, aren't you? What will you do when she pulls out her naginata?"
"What of it? This humble one is now the little rascal's. If she wants to hurt me, she'll have to get past you first, won't she?"
Yae Miko entangleled herself around him again, hugging Jack's arm and generously giving him a "benefit."
Ei's fingers audibly cracked as she watched.
"..."
The dresser, Komura Mio, trembled with fear.
No, Raiden Shogun, if you're so stubborn, I can't put the clothes on you at all, can I?
Fifteen minutes later.
Under Yae Miko's interference, the already elaborate clothes took several attempts to put on.
Kamisato Ayaka, acting as a maid, untied Raiden Ei's scorpion braid, and her long hair fanned out like a waterfall.
In that instant, Jack felt a momentary daze.
The Ei who usually appeared somewhat wooden and whose mind was full of thoughts of cutting people down, transformed into a gentle and charming young woman.
Pure white wedding attire draped over her shoulders, her eyes lowered, gazing with affectionate longing—she was someone one could pledge a lifetime to at first sight!
"Excellent, very beautiful, it suits you perfectly!"
Three consecutive praises were given.
Jack walked over, his fingers threading through Ei's hair, gently cupping her cheek.
The two gazed deeply into each other's eyes.
Are they going to kiss? Are they going to kiss?!
Even more excited than the two of them was the kimono shop owner, who had a fan's mentality.
Just as their lips were about to meet, a folding fan suddenly blocked Komura Mio's view.
"The following is paid content, you see~"
Yae Miko smiled alluringly.
Komura Mio was stunned by her universally charming smile, her cheeks flushed: "I'll pay! I'll pay any amount, please, High Priestess, let me see!"
"That won't do. It's fine for us to see, but if the ordinary citizens of Inazuma were to see the Raiden Shogun in such an undignified state... Hehe, someone would be in danger, you see~"
Yae Miko's half-threatening words sent a shiver down Komura Mio's spine.
A chilling coldness rose from her heart.
It was only then that she fully realized.
The one trying on clothes here was no ordinary girl waiting to be priced, but rather the Great The Great Master of the Shrine,, the one with the Musou no Hitotachi, whose martial prowess reached the heavens and shook the earth!
The kiss ended.
Ei seemed to still be savoring it, her eyes still closed.
Jack gently stroked her lips, which were as elastic as jelly, and chuckled.
"Wearing this outfit truly makes a difference. Ei looks much gentler."
"What do you mean? Are you saying I'm not usually gentle?"
"Yes."
Jack's blunt answer made Ei pout, looking a little unhappy, but after Jack added the next sentence, she immediately broke into a smile.
"Because gentleness doesn't suit Ei. The heroic and aloof Ei is the most beautiful."
The couple quietly exchanged sweet nothings.
Kujou Sara watched from the side, feeling deeply gratified.
That person, always aloof and majestic, always sitting alone on her throne, had finally found her heart's true home!
"Oh my, my little troublemaker has quite the high-level game. In just a few moves, she's completely captivated my silly sister."
"Yae Miko, if you don't want your mouth, I can personally forge you a new one!"
Ei swept her with a sharp glance.
Yae Miko awkwardly covered her mouth.
Teasing Ei was fun, but it had to be done in moderation.
However, with Jack by Ei's side, she had reservations; her anger threshold was higher, and according to experience, she could still provoke her a few more times.
A plan forming in her mind, Yae Miko revealed a mischievous smile and playfully winked at Jack.
Then she said to Komura Mio: "Shopkeeper Xiao Cang, your clothes here can be altered on the spot, right?"
"Yes! High Priestess, please tell me if you have any needs. Tailoring clothes is my family's ancestral craft."
"Hehe, that's good. But no rush, it's not too late to sort out mine after my sister has finished trying hers."
Next.
Raiden Ei chose two more outfits to try on.
The three outfits had different styles, which could broadly be seen as a result of the different customs and characteristics of three regions (villages).
There was no real comparison between them.
Ei looked at Jack, who smiled and said, "Follow your feelings. Any of them would be good."
So Ei pointed to the one she was wearing and the two she had tried on and asked.
"Which of these three outfits has the least fabric?"
"Uh... this one?"
Komura Mio pointed to the off-shoulder style Ei was wearing.
"Why is that a question?"
"Huh!"
Komura Mio's heart tightened.
The divine one seems angry, what should I do?
Jack quickly stepped between the two, blocking the invisible pressure Ei was exerting on her subject.
If this continued a few more times, the shop owner would die of fright before they even finished choosing clothes.
Ei tilted her head in confusion.
Jack took the opportunity to pat her head.
"Then the one you're wearing it is. Buy the ones you tried on earlier too. If you want to change, you can switch anytime. Now, let's leave the space for Yae Miko."
"Oh, is my little troublemaker so eager to see me naked? How vulgar~"
"Hmph! As expected, I should just remove this lewd fox's mouth!"
Lightning flashed in Ei's hand, and the blade of her naginata pointed directly at Yae Miko's cherry lips.
"Migu!"
Yae Miko was genuinely startled this time and immediately hid behind Jack.
Jack gently pushed aside the naginata blade with his finger.
"Ei, calm down. Yae Miko is young, not even 1000 years old. It's normal for her to be playful."
Ei raised her eyes and nodded: "You're right. This time, I'll spare you for my husband's sake. If there's a next time, I won't hesitate to strike!"
Kamisato Ayaka's inner monologue: Not... not even 1000 years old is considered young?
"Pfft~"
Yae Miko, typically a fox borrowing a tiger's might, secretly made a funny face at Ei from behind Jack.
Ei acted as if she hadn't seen it and had Komura Mio help her change back into her original loose and elegant clothes.
Next, it was Yae Miko's turn to choose clothes.
