Qiu Bai stood amidst this sea of flowers, under the blue sky with white clouds.
The sun hung in the sky, and countless flower petals danced in the air as a gentle breeze swept across the floral landscape.
"Is this...?"
"Left behind by Raiden Ei and Raiden Makoto?"
Qiu Bai murmured, looking at the content on the stone tablet before him.
"That's right."
"This is the place they used to visit frequently."
Yae Miko explained with a smile to the confused Qiu Bai beside her.
"My old friend."
"It seems someone has been forgotten."
Yae Miko murmured, gazing at the stone tablet before her.
"Big brother?"
"Who could possibly be the one called 'big brother' by Raiden Ei?"
Qiu Bai curiously examined the content on the stone tablet, asking with confusion.
Because in the original storyline, he had never heard that Ei and Makoto once had a brother.
"Moreover, she seems to have forgotten this person entirely."
"Still, this place is truly beautiful."
After speaking, Qiu Bai turned around to look at the sea of flowers surrounding them and the petals dancing in the sky, smiling as he murmured.
"Hehe, my hopeless friend."
"Let me see about you, the one named 'big brother'."
Yae Miko chuckled softly as she sat down beneath the stone tablet, murmuring with a smile.
"Since Ei determined to walk the path of eternity."
"I've been coming here every spring according to her wishes. It's been over four hundred years now."
Yae Miko gently touched the stone tablet in front of her, murmuring.
"If you were still here."
"I wonder if you could have changed Ei mind."
Yae Miko stood up facing the stone tablet, hands on her hips as she smiled and spoke.
"What kind of person were you, I wonder?"
"To suppress eighteen demon gods while mortally wounded."
Yae Miko looked at the flower petals dancing in the sky, murmuring.
"While mortally wounded..."
"Suppressed eighteen demon gods?"
Upon hearing this, Qiu Bai stroked his chin and spoke with surprise.
Goodness, what a fierce person.
If he were mortally wounded, To suppress eighteen demon gods like Osial, he questioned whether he himself could do it.
"I didn't expect that Makoto and Ei 'big brother' was so powerful."
"But how could someone so strong end up mortally wounded?"
Qiu Bai stroked his chin, thinking with astonishment.
To be so powerful even when mortally wounded, it was hard to imagine how strong that person would be at his peak.
"However, I'm curious."
"If Makoto and Ei used to come here often, why would they suddenly forget this person?"
Qiu Bai looked at the content on the stone tablet, asking with confusion.
"I don't know either."
"But gods have excellent memories. For someone even Ei would forget, I'm afraid..."
Yae Miko looked at the stone tablet before her, stroking her chin in thought for a moment, then frowned and murmured.
"I'm afraid this matter isn't so simple..."
Yae Miko raised her head, looking at Qiu Bai in front of her as she began to explain.
"What kind of explanation is that?"
"Don't I already know this isn't simple?"
Hearing this, Qiu Bai mouth twitched as he looked at Miko and complained.
"Hahaha..."
"I don't know either! Come, let's look over there."
Yae Miko laughed at Qiu Bai's expression, hands on her hips as she spoke.
Then Yae Miko walked toward the other side of the path.
Qiu Bai nodded and followed in Miko footsteps, walking along the long path.
The fragrance of flowers continuously wafted toward the two people's noses.
Finally, they reached a small wooden cabin at the end of the flower sea.
A small stream ran nearby, with cherry blossom trees planted in front and behind.
"Ei says she's forgotten what this cabin was for too."
"But the scenery here is quite nice, perfect for writing light novels."
Yae Miko looked at the small wooden cabin in front of her, chuckling as she spoke.
Hearing this, Qiu Bai mouth twitched as he curiously stepped into the small cabin.
Two dolls hung in the cabin, resembling miniature versions of the Raiden Shogun.
They appeared to be dolls of Makoto and Ei. The cabin had a bed with a book on it.
Qiu Bai looked at the book title, and his mouth twitched.
Wasn't this the book
"The Archon War: Secrets Between the Immortal Lord and the Emperor"?
"Hahaha."
"So you've discovered it."
Yae Miko also entered the cabin, looking at Qiu Bai expression, then at the light novel on the bed, covering her mouth as she laughed.
"This is the novel I conceived here."
"Didn't you annihilate the Vortex Sea God with one sword strike recently?"
Yae Miko explained with a smile to the darkening face of Qiu Bai.
"Your fame has spread all the way to Inazuma."
"I just borrowed your reputation a little and had the people at Yae Publishing House adapt it."
Yae Miko sat on the bed, looking at Qiu Bai in front of her, smiling as she spoke.
"You call that 'a little'?"
"I can see this novel even in Liyue."
Hearing this, Qiu Bai covered his forehead helplessly, spreading his hands as he spoke.
"Hehehe~"
"Doesn't that just prove how charismatic you are?"
Yae Miko covered her mouth, chuckling softly.
"I should have known this was your idea."
"Perhaps only you could come up with such a book title."
Qiu Bai waved his hand helplessly, smiling lightly as he spoke.
"Sigh... according to Ei wishes."
"I still need to stay here for a day."
Yae Miko reclined on the bed, flipping through the light novel with one hand as she complained.
"No fried tofu."
"I really can't bear to stay even for a day."
Yae Miko closed the book, grumbling.
"Fried tofu..."
"Wait a moment."
Qiu Bai looked at Yae Miko in front of him with a smile, then instantly disappeared.
"Sigh, where did he go? Is it that strange ability again?"
"These gods and such, truly puzzling."
Yae Miko looked at the vanished Qiu Bai, speaking with surprise.
Suddenly, Qiu Bai appeared in front of Miko again in an instant.
"Ah!"
Yae Miko was startled by Qiu Bai sudden reappearance, freezing for a moment.
After recognizing who it was, she patted her chest and let out a long breath.
"Guess what this is?"
Qiu Bai opened the large box in his hands, smiling as he asked Miko.
"This is fried tofu!"
Yae Miko looked at the box full of fried tofu, with two skewers stuck in it, exclaiming happily.
"Deity Sir~"
"Did you buy this for me?"
Yae Miko looked at Qiu Bai in front of her, speaking in an exaggerated tone with a coquettish voice.
"Actually, I wanted to try it too."
Qiu Bai looked at Yae Miko in front of him, smiling as he spoke.
He was somewhat curious why Miko liked to eat fried tofu.
"Wonderful!"
Yae Miko took a skewer and pierced a fried tofu, then put it into her mouth.
Finding it delicious, she closed her eyes, her fluffy pink fox ears perking up.
With a satisfied smile at the corner of her mouth, she covered her mouth with one hand as she chewed the fried tofu.
