"It actually succeeded, how impressive."
Raiden Ei's plan to win over Durandal actually succeeded, which was quite astonishing. She had thought it would be absolutely impossible for her foolish younger sister to win over Durandal.
That's not quite right. Raiden Ei indeed had no way to win her over, because there was no emotional foundation between them, nor any opportunity to cultivate feelings. It could be said that Raiden Ei was completely at a disadvantage.
Moreover, Durandal also had Shenhe and Lumine watching over her, so it was completely unrealistic for Raiden Ei to find an opportunity to develop feelings.
But... as long as they created time together and continuously extended that time, even a pet would surely develop feelings when it was just the two of them.
This was the case with Raiden Ei and Durandal. No one expected them to actually go to the past Inazuma and live there for decades.
The conditions that were originally impossible to achieve, weren't they met now?
Life... is truly unpredictable. (The Indestructible: Da Chang Bao Xiao Chang. [A little mischief])
Why did Raiden Makoto discover that Raiden Ei had successfully won over Durandal?
As the most important and intimate family member, it was impossible for Raiden Ei to hide things from Raiden Makoto.
Coupled with Raiden Ei's recent abnormal behavior, a little deduction quickly led to this conclusion.
"I say, you've been like this since yesterday. What exactly are you two arguing about?"
Apparently, due to a certain matter, Raiden Ei and the Raiden Shogun were embroiled in some kind of argument. Such a thing was quite rare, as the Raiden Shogun would listen to Raiden Ei's words and act according to her instructions in most matters.
This time, there was a disagreement between her and Raiden Ei. What exactly caused the Raiden Shogun to behave so unusually?
"Listen to me, Big Sister. The Shogun, she... she actually wants Sara to announce to the world that Durandal is my wife."
Ah~ so they were arguing over this matter. How unexpected.
Raiden Makoto looked at the flustered and blushing Raiden Ei with a full smile. It was the first time she had seen her younger sister like this.
That expression, clearly very shy and wanting to reject the Raiden Shogun's proposal, but upon closer thought, the proposal seemed good, and agreeing to it didn't seem to matter, was simply too cute.
Raiden Makoto could also understand why Raiden Ei was so tempted yet still wanted to refuse. The main reason was Durandal, after all, she wasn't the kind of person who liked to attract too much attention.
It was already very difficult for Raiden Ei to win over Durandal. Now that she had finally succeeded, she would absolutely not allow a future where their relationship reset to zero or even worsened due to the Raiden Shogun's command.
(Raiden Ei: Don't do that!)
The Raiden Shogun didn't think so much. In her opinion, Durandal was already hers, so there was nothing wrong with announcing it.
Of course, this sentence could also be rephrased: she was already Durandal's.
But that didn't matter. Regardless of who belonged to whom, it couldn't hinder the fact that they were already together.
As her own, wasn't it only natural for Durandal to enjoy the same status as herself, and to enjoy the respect of the people of Inazuma?
"In any case... Big Sister, you should also persuade the Shogun. No matter how you think about it, this kind of thing is not acceptable, right?"
After speaking, Raiden Ei seemed to have disconnected, her expression paused for a moment, then her emotions quickly receded, becoming indifferent.
Alright, it seemed she had released the Raiden Shogun, hoping that she could make the Raiden Shogun give up on this matter.
"Lady Makoto..."
"No, Shogun. How many times have I told you, you should call me Big Sister, just like Ei."
Raiden Makoto interrupted the Raiden Shogun's words and said with a smile, "Don't treat yourself as a tool. I, Raiden Makoto, have said that I treat you as a younger sister, not a tool. If you do this, I will be sad."
"...I understand, Big Sister."
Indeed, she couldn't disobey her sister's command. She had also heard this during the decades she spent with Durandal.
It was precisely because Durandal didn't treat her like a tool, but like a living person, that she developed feelings for Durandal and couldn't extricate herself, wasn't it?
"Hmm, very good. So, the next thing to discuss is your decision. Do you really want Sara to announce this matter, Shogun?"
"...I don't think there's anything wrong with doing so, Big Sister. I want to tell others about this. I want her to receive the love and respect of the Inazuma people, just like me."
"I see. So, you mainly want to tell others that Miss Delezie is my lover, right?"
The latter part could almost be omitted; this was the most important goal. The Raiden Shogun simply wanted to show off this point.
"Big... Big Sister! What... what are you talking about? Didn't you hear what I just said?"
The Raiden Shogun, whose true thoughts had been exposed, said somewhat awkwardly. Seeing the Raiden Shogun's rare blushing face, Raiden Makoto chuckled softly.
It was truly interesting that the General, who usually appeared so dignified and serious, would also show such a cute expression.
"Hehehe~ Alright, alright, don't be like that. Do you think I can't see your true thoughts? You child, you're really stubborn."
