"And you can also resurrect beings?"
"If you were to bring Ei old companions before her, what would she think?"
Yae Miko said with interest after hearing that Qiu Bai could resurrect beings.
"Hehe, I've already prepared to resurrect Lady Saiguu."
"As one of Raiden Ei closest friends, she should be able to strengthen Ei resolve after the Vision Hunt Decree is abolished."
Qiu Bai slowly said to Yae Miko beside him.
"Lady Saiguu..."
Upon hearing this name, Yae Miko looked at the distant sunset and fell silent for a moment.
"Hehe~, the Vision Hunt Decree hasn't even been abolished yet, and you're already thinking about resurrecting Lady Saiguu?"
"But if it really is abolished, Ei would be very happy to see Lady Saiguu again..."
After a while, Yae Miko covered her mouth and chuckled lightly as she looked at Qiu Bai.
"That traveler wants to save the people of Inazuma from the Vision Hunt Decree."
"So do I, but I also want to save this nation, to save Ei as well."
Yae Miko murmured, looking at Inazuma City in the distance.
"The key point is, since the Plane of Euthymia represents Ei inner world..."
"If she's defeated there, there's a possibility of changing the Raiden Shogun will."
Yae Miko stroked her chin as she spoke.
"And only you and the traveler can enter the Plane of Euthymia."
"So..."
Yae Miko looked at Qiu Bai with a hint of sly smile on her lips.
"So, you intend for Lumine and me..."
"To go to the Plane of Euthymia and defeat Raiden Ei?"
Qiu Bai frowned and asked Yae Miko with confusion.
"Sigh, anyway, before Inazuma falls into the darkness of eternity..."
"This is the only method left that can put it back on the right track in time."
Yae Miko stepped forward on her snow-white legs, looking at the sunset and sighing.
"This plan seems a bit unreliable."
"Haven't you heard that I couldn't defeat Raiden Ei, and was even stabbed through the stomach by her?"
Qiu Bai looked at Yae Miko back with some helplessness.
"Hehe..."
"These tricks of yours might fool those two little ones, but they won't work on me, who possesses both beauty and wisdom."
Yae Miko turned around and said slyly to Qiu Bai.
"Hehe~ Do you really think I don't know that you effortlessly eliminated the God of Vortex?"
"And you purified Orobashi divine resentment? All these things?"
Yae Miko covered her mouth and chuckled lightly as she looked at Qiu Bai.
"Someone who can accomplish all these things, how could they possibly be defeated after just a brief exchange with Ei?"
"Even if you can't win, couldn't you at least hold your own against her for a while~"
Yae Miko put her hands on her hips, with the sunset behind her, and looking at Qiu Bai with her eyes slightly closed, she smiled.
"Indeed, the wisdom of a fox."
"To be seen through so easily."
Qiu Bai mouth twitched as he looked at Yae Miko and complained.
"So then?"
"Even if I keep Ei occupied, how can Lumine alone defeat Ei and change her will?"
Qiu Bai asked Yae Miko, though he already knew the answer.
"Hmm..."
"I'll give her a secret weapon, this omamori..."
After saying that, Yae Miko took out a pink omamori charm and murmured.
"Within it are gathered the wishes of many people who came to the Grand Narukami Shrine..."
"Their wishes are all gathered here. Perhaps with its blessing, it might be able to change her will."
Yae Miko explained, looking at the omamori in her hand.
"Not a bad plan. Under the current circumstances..."
"I'm afraid this is the only viable option."
Qiu Bai looked at the omamori in Yae Miko hand and frowned as he murmured.
"Hehe~"
"That's why they say Lady Yae possesses both beauty and wisdom, don't they?"
Yae Miko covered her mouth and laughed without modesty.
"Hahaha... But now you probably need to return to the Grand Narukami Shrine."
"I expect Lumine and Paimon are almost there by now."
Qiu Bai looked at Yae Miko and couldn't help but laugh.
He hadn't realized before how cute this little fox was.
"Oh my~ There's quite a distance from here to the Grand Narukami Shrine~"
"Then I'll have to trouble the great deity to take me there."
Yae Miko looked at Qiu Bai and spoke in a coquettish manner.
"Alright."
"Hold on tight, Miko."
Qiu Bai smiled lightly at Yae Miko.
Then Qiu Bai took Yae Miko and, in an instant, they vanished from where they stood.
When they reappeared, they were already in front of the Sacred Sakura Tree.
"What a convenient ability."
"Could it be that you really are a deity?"
Yae Miko looked at Qiu Bai beside her with some admiration.
"Lady Guuji, are you there~?"
Just as Qiu Bai and Yae Miko arrived, they heard Paimon voice.
Then Lumine and Paimon walked over to where Qiu Bai and Yae Miko were standing.
"It's Qiu Bai!"
"So the 'business' you mentioned was just getting here ahead of us?!"
Paimon stomped her foot angrily as she looked at Qiu Bai.
She wondered why he hadn't taken them along to the Grand Narukami Shrine, making them walk such a long distance.
"Hahaha..."
"I walked here too, if you don't believe me, you can ask Miko."
Qiu Bai looked at Paimon and couldn't help but laugh.
"Hmph, I don't believe you at all."
Paimon turned her head, crossed her arms over her chest, and spoke with a tsundere attitude.
"By the way, you call her Miko?"
"Are you two that close?"
Paimon looked at Qiu Bai and Yae Miko with some confusion.
"Hehe~"
"If the little one wants, you can call me Miko too~"
Yae Miko patted Paimon head and said with a smile.
"Hehe, nice to meet you, Miko."
Paimon put her hands behind her back and looked at Yae Miko happily.
"Qiu Bai, what's our plan?"
Lumine looked at Qiu Bai with curiosity.
"Let me explain it in detail."
Yae Miko smiled as she looked at Lumine.
She then explained the entire plan from beginning to end.
"So that's it!"
"But thankfully Qiu Bai will also help, which should increase our chances of success."
Paimon looked at Qiu Bai happily and stomped her foot.
"With Qiu Bai around, I hope he doesn't pretend this time."
Lumine looked at Qiu Bai beside her and said mischievously.
"Don't worry, this time, I won't be pretending."
"I'll definitely give it my all."
Qiu Bai looked at Lumine and smiled gently.
"That's what you said last time too..."
Paimon looked at the smiling Qiu Bai and spoke with suspicion.
"Haha, it seems he's fooled you two little ones quite a bit."
Yae Miko covered her mouth and looked at Qiu Bai beside her, unable to suppress her laughter.
"Come with me, I'll take you to practice."
"Anti-Raiden Shogun special training..."
Yae Miko crossed her arms over her chest and smiled lightly as she looked at Lumine.
"Hmm..."
"There's no need for such trouble, Miko. I'll be the training partner."
Qiu Bai spoke up, looking at Lumine.
"I'll match my speed to be consistent with Ei."
"And I'll lower my strength to Lumine level, gradually increasing it as she adapts."
Qiu Bai stroked his chin and proposed to Yae Miko beside him.
"Not a bad idea."
"Fighting with a real deity is certainly better than with that puppet."
Yae Miko looked at Qiu Bai beside her, thought for a moment, then nodded with a smile, indicating her agreement.
