The thunderstorm that coerced the entire Narukami Island, and whose momentum even spread to Liyue and Mondstadt, quickly dissipated after Ei initially grasped the Core of the Herrscher of Thunder.
Clear sky.
Looking at the blue sky and white clouds above their heads, if it wasn't for the lingering fear from the previous thunderstorm, people would almost think that what happened before was just an illusion.
However, the Tenryou Commission followed the orders issued next.
It immediately diverted the public's attention from the thunderstorm.
The Sakoku Decree and the Vision Hunt Decree.
These two sudden bans made all the holders of a Vision in Inazuma very overwhelmed.
The Electro Archon wants to recover the Visions.
Once the news came out, there were those who were apprehensive, those who turned them in to avoid disaster, and those who escaped and resisted...
Inazuma's waters were completely stirred by this order.
And the existence that issued the Vision Hunt Decree—Raiden Ei—at this time, was not too concerned about implementation issues.
For years, it was very rare for her to walk out of Tenshukaku.
When the Raiden Shogun travels, she naturally has her own pomp.
However, this trip was not on business.
Ei didn't like these cumbersome etiquettes either.
After a few words, she walked lightly, left Tenshukaku alone, and headed to her destination.
So much so, when Yae Miko of the Grand Narukami Shrine was reviewing a recent light novel in her room, she turned her head and saw Ei behind her. The whole fox was so frightened that she almost suffered a cardiopulmonary arrest.
"Hey! You, you... Are you the Shogun or Ei?"
Yae Miko's pink fox ears almost stood up.
She placed the book she was reading face down.
Then she patted her chest and looked at the Electro Archon in front of her in surprise.
"Miko, I haven't seen you for a long time. Why are you still as timid as before?"
Ei spoke very naturally.
In her heart, Yae Miko has always been the original pink-haired little fox.
Of course, looking at the way she looked now, she had indeed grown up a lot.
"Ei?"
Yae Miko could not help but be a little surprised when she discerned this from her tone.
Didn't this blockhead get into the Plane of Euthymia and never want to come out again?
Why had she not only appeared now but also taken the initiative to find her?
Is this the sun coming out from the west?
She tried to suppress the joy that burst out of her chest, folded her arms across her chest, and complained sarcastically.
"You're a busy person; why are you free to see me?"
"Could it be that you can't stand it after five hundred years, and you feel too lonely, so you came to talk to me?"
"Humph! If you're more sincere, it's not like I can't continue being friends with you!"
If one didn't look at her ears that had been twitching, one really couldn't see how excited Yae Miko was.
"No."
Ei shook her head gently, ignoring Miko's complaint.
Just like a long time ago, she pushed Yae Miko aside without hesitation and flipped through the book that was intentionally hidden on her desk.
—"Reincarnated as the Raiden Shogun, and then became Invincible in the World".
"You really like weird things!"
Ei showed a somewhat speechless look.
Although she knew that Yae Miko had been working on light novels about the Yae Publishing House all these years, she didn't expect it to be of this type.
Fortunately, she didn't care about that either.
After putting the book back, Ei put the food box she brought over on the table.
"Sniff~"
Yae Miko moved her delicate nose slightly and smelled a very tempting scent.
"This is?"
"The food I happened to get; it's just for you."
Ei replied calmly.
A plate of Fried Tofu was brought out of the food box.
This was what she got from the Dimensional Store card. Since the Dimensional Store certified it as Delicious Fried Tofu, the taste should not be bad.
Hearing this, Yae Miko's eyes widened, and she couldn't believe her ears.
This blockhead not only took the initiative to see her but also brought her favorite souvenir?
This... is this really not a dream?
Her wooden block Ei shouldn't have such emotional intelligence!
Under Yae Miko's somewhat skeptical eyes, Ei motioned for the other party to taste it.
Then she stated her intentions.
"Miko, give me the Gnosis. I need to use it."
"Humph! You will come to me only if you have something to do."
Yae Miko complained, but did not refuse.
Anyway, the Gnosis was originally given to her by Ei, and it was useless for her to hold onto it.
She just didn't know if Ei, who once abandoned the Gnosis, had changed her mind now.
Thinking like this, she couldn't hold back, having been greedy for a long time, and picked up a piece of fragrant Fried Tofu with chopsticks.
"For the sake of the Fried Tofu, I promise you!"
Saying so, Miko took a bite of the juicy tofu.
In the next instant, her taste buds burst.
An unimaginable savory sensation slid across her mouth.
The aroma of oil, crispiness, and juice burst out at the same instant.
The delicacy hit the soul directly, so much so that a person like Yae Miko, who was used to eating gourmet food, was completely unable to bear it.
"Wow~!"
Unable to restrain herself, a coquettish cry escaped Yae Miko's mouth.
A translucent tail behind her also appeared uncontrollably.
It could be said that it was so delicious that her fox tail was exposed.
Seeing this scene, even Ei was very surprised.
Unexpectedly, just White-quality food had such an effect?
"Where did you buy this delicious food from?"
After swallowing the Fried Tofu in her mouth, Yae Miko looked at Ei with shining eyes.
She had basically tried all the Fried Tofu restaurants in Inazuma.
She had never tasted anything so delicious.
It literally destroyed all the food she had ever eaten.
Taking a bite not only made people feel happy but even made people feel a kind of blood-pumping sensation.
Of course, with her strength, this Fried Tofu had little effect on her.
But in a happy mood, she still couldn't help showing her fox tail.
Yae Miko had already made a decision: no matter which master made the Fried Tofu, even if she had to spend a lot of money, she must buy the other party's recipe.
And faced with this perfectly normal question, Ei found it a little hard to answer.
It cannot be directly called the Dimensional Store.
Although it was okay to tell her based on the relationship between Miko and herself, she always felt that this guy would take the opportunity to play tricks.
Thinking so, Ei looked at Yae Miko very seriously and said sincerely.
"I can cook this dish."
"..."
You? Cook?
Hearing this, Yae Miko showed an indescribable expression.
She wanted to laugh out loud, but she felt bad.
Finally, she sighed and patted Ei on the shoulder with great pity.
"You don't have to tell me if you don't want to. There's no need to lie to me."
Will Ei cook?
Stop joking with the world!
This is the kitchen killer that even her sister avoided at first!
For a long time, no one dared to let her cook, whether it was the Kitsune Saiguu or Mikoshi Chiyo.
Being so underestimated by Yae Miko, even Ei inevitably felt a little angry.
Therefore, she took Miko into the kitchen on the spot and decided to show her progress.
"Pots and pans, yield to me!"
As the voice of the Kotodama sounded, Yae Miko's worldview was shattered.
