Plane of Euthymia.
Raiden Ei held the three Intertwined Fates in her palms, her expression unusually conflicted.
"Resurrection… could it truly be possible?"
One by one, faces from her distant past rose in her mind—
Sasayuri,
Chiyo of the Mikoshi,
Kitsune Saiguu,
—and finally, the one whose loss still tore her heart apart:
Raiden Makoto.
A gentle smile beneath the Sacred Sakura…
A paper umbrella resting lightly on her shoulder…
A warmth Ei had not felt for centuries.
Her fingers tightened around the Fates.
If these items were genuine—
If she could gather ten—
Then she could truly bring Makoto home.
"…I will resurrect you first," Ei whispered to the empty space.
Whether this fan-creation power was real or not, she had decided.
If she needed ten, she would get ten.
No matter how long it took.
Resolved, she turned toward the livestream to discuss it with the creator—
And nearly vomited blood.
Because the stream had just entered its ending segment.
And the ending theme was—
"Deer in Love."
"Thump, thump, thump, my heart's a deer in love~
You're the Lafite of goddesses divine~
Swirl you in my glass, taste like Eden's wine~
Just wanna date you, make you forever mine~"
Ei's expression froze.
Because the person dancing on screen—
Under the fireworks of Grand Narukami Shrine, no less—
Was her.
A flawless model of Raiden Ei, swaying her hips and chest to the rhythm,
black stockings glistening in the moonlight,
legs long and pale,
expressions flirtatious enough to end civilizations.
The austere, untouchable Electro Archon—
Dancing like she was doing a premium night-club performance.
The comments exploded instantly.

[Razor]: M-Master… I— pffft! (collapses from blood loss)
Compared to Barbara or Mona, Ei's mature charm was a full difficulty level higher.
Razor's HP dropped to zero instantly.

Never thought you were that type.

TEMPLE OF THE THOUSAND WINDS
Scaramouche watched the video of his "mother" dancing.
Then he began laughing.
Laughing like a madman.
"Hahaha! SUBARASHII! Worth every single Mora! Hahahaha!"
First the Musou no Hitotachi was blocked.
Then she was renamed the "Milky-Scented Slash."
And now a nightclub dance edit?!
Three humiliation reels in a single day—
True Archon-tier content.
To him, this was divine justice.
Pure, unfiltered schadenfreude.
PUBLIC CHATROOM
[Kujou Takayuki]: Impossible! The Raiden Shogun would never dance something this vulgar! (nosebleed)
[Hiiragi Shinsuke]: This desecrates Her Excellency's dignity! (nosebleed)
[Six-Fingered Joseph]: Damn she's hot though. (nosebleed)
[Furuta]: The Electro Archon… has such a liberated side? (nosebleed)
[Schubert]: THIS is freedom! Praise Lord Barbatos! (nosebleed)
[Albert]: I am faithful to Miss Barbara! ONLY TO MISS BARBARA! (more nosebleed)
[Chef Mao]: THIS?! This is free?! Where's the premium content?! (nosebleed)
[FontaineLSP]: Look! The General looked at me! She totally likes me! Hehheh…
[Hoffmann]: Ahem… I retract all criticism of the Raiden Shogun. (nosebleed)
[Ruhavi]: LONG LIVE THE RAINDEN SHOGUN!!
[NatlanLSP]: Eternal glory to Narukami!
[Fast-Blade Chen]: The morals of the world collapse faster than Mora leaves your wallet!
[Maxim]: So this is a recruitment ad for the Shogunate Army?
[Lawrence]: Wait, what? Two thousand Mora this time!?
[Dongsheng]: Inflation, friend.
[Boli]: Could be worse—last time it was fivefold.
[Old Master Chang]: This streamer… truly yasashii!
They complained.
They cursed.
They pretended to resist.
But their Mora?
Gone. Instantly.
When one of the Seven Archons dances personally for you—
What's two thousand Mora?
A heavenly bargain.
In Bai Hao's backend, the sound of incoming currency had long surpassed "rain."
It was a tsunami.
