Under everyone's anticipation—
The darkened light screen flickered back on.
The scene: Tenshukaku.
Fortunately, Ei and Yae Miko had already stopped their "auntie-level argument."
Otherwise, they'd have been laughed at across the entire chat group.
Then—
Two golden meteors streaked across the sky.
They pierced through the clouds, crossed over Tenshukaku, and descended directly before the two women.
Golden light blossomed.
Warm.
Sacred.
When it faded—
Two objects hovered quietly before them.

Silence.
Even though Zhongli had received something similar yesterday—
Hearing it again still shook everyone.
Resurrection.
A miracle never before seen in Teyvat.
And here—
It was handed out like a "reward."
The weight of the Light Screen felt terrifying.
Extraordinary Chat Group
Venti: Resurrection items again~ Looks like Beelzebul and Lady Guuji are lucky!
Nahida: Similar to Morax's, but different.
Zhongli: Fewer total revivals than mine, but with fewer restrictions.
Zhongli: The coins can directly choose who to revive.
Furina: So… they can revive anyone they want?
That line caused a subtle shift.
Some hearts stirred.
Resurrection.
Who wouldn't want such a thing?
Yesterday, many had entertained thoughts of trade… or worse.
But Morax was Morax.
Too powerful.
Too stable.
Too absolute.
Today?
Ei.
Two coins.
Miko's scroll — three uses.
No randomness.
No target restriction.
Temptation flickered.
Then—
They saw Ei on screen.
And sobered instantly.
This was Beelzebul.
The woman who lost her sister.
Her friends.
Her entire world.
If anyone dared covet those items—
They would be her enemy.
And Inazuma's.
And she had both the power and the stubborn will to follow through.
Greed cooled.
There would be future chances.
No need to court death today.
Inazuma Reacts
Guizhong: As long as they can be revived, that's enough! The original Electro Archon and Lady Kitsune Saiguu can return!
Kujou Sara: Lady Makoto… Lady Saiguu… Lady Chiyo…!
Ayaka: This is… truly wonderful…!
Itto: Celebration! Shinobu, we're partying!
Yoimiya: I'll handle the fireworks!
Sangonomiya Kokomi: It will be the most beautiful sight.
Across Inazuma—
People stopped what they were doing.
A hope five hundred years buried—
Now within reach.
Tenshukaku
"Re… resurrection?"
Ei's hands trembled.
For centuries she had yearned for this.
Yet now—
With it before her—
She was afraid.
What if this was illusion?
What if she was still inside the Plane of Euthymia?
What if erosion had finally driven her mad?
What if this hope shattered?
That fall—
She might not survive it.
Yae Miko stepped forward quietly.
Her teasing tone gone.
"Ei."
"You heard correctly."
"You have it."
"I have it."
"We can correct five hundred years of regret."
"And… perhaps settle accounts too."
Lumine and Paimon stood beside them.
"No illusions."
"It's real."
"Bring Makoto back. Let's celebrate properly."
For once—
No jokes.
No teasing.
They understood the weight of this moment.
Ei closed her eyes.
Breathed deeply.
When she opened them—
Fear was gone.
Only resolve remained.
She stepped forward.
Held the two golden coins.
They were light as feathers—
Yet heavy as destiny.
Five hundred years ago—
Hesitation had cost her everything.
Today—
She would not hesitate.
Her voice trembled slightly.
"Return to me… my dear ones."
"Come back, Makoto."
"Come back… Saiguu."
The coins burst into gentle golden radiance.
The light rose skyward.
Inazuma saw it.
Understood instantly.
Across the nation—
People clasped their hands.
Voices unified.
"常道恢宏,鸣神永恒!"
"Everlasting order, Narukami eternal!"
The chant shook the air.
Inside Tenshukaku—
Two figures slowly formed from light.
Shapes solidified.
Breath returned.
And then—
They stood there.
One clad in white and lavender kimono.
Long indigo gradient hair.
A folding fan at her temple.
Gentle.
Warm.
Radiant.
Raiden Makoto.
The original Electro Archon.
The other—
Red and white shrine maiden attire.
White short hair.
Foxlike elegance.
Kitsune Saiguu.
"…Tenshukaku?"
"I… died in Khaenri'ah."
"I remember being swallowed by calamity…"
Their memories halted at the moment of death.
Confusion clouded their eyes.
Ei's vision blurred.
How long had it been since she saw them—
Not in dreams—
But real?
Her tears fell freely.
Miko too.
For once—
No smirk.
No fox mask.
Just relief.
They rushed forward.
Embraced them tightly.
"Makoto… I finally see you again…"
"Lady Saiguu… you've returned…"
They held on—
As if afraid letting go would shatter reality.
Makoto and Saiguu exchanged a glance.
Though confused—
They understood one thing:
The two in their arms had suffered.
So they gently returned the embrace.
No questions yet.
Just warmth.
Wangsheng Funeral Parlor
Zhongli watched quietly.
"…Good."
"Baal has returned."
Guizhong.
Azhdaha.
Now Makoto.
Old friends resurfacing one by one.
Even Venti smiled softly.
"The next Archon meeting will be lively."
Zhongli chuckled.
"Expense is meaningless before reunion."
"…Besides, if I lack Mora, there is still the Director… or Childe."
Venti's eyes sparkled.
"With those two, even ten more gods wouldn't bankrupt us!"
Hu Tao and the dragons gave simultaneous thumbs-up.
Classic.
Back in Tenshukaku
After a long moment—
Miko straightened.
Professional once more.
"Ei. The Light Screen is still broadcasting."
Ei reluctantly loosened her hold.
Makoto and Saiguu finally spoke.
"What has happened?"
Five centuries compressed into a breath.
Ei hesitated.
Too much to explain.
Miko stepped in smoothly.
"Makoto. Lady Saiguu."
"I am Yae Miko — the little fox you once held."
"This is five hundred years later."
"A great existence granted resurrection."
"There's much to explain."
"But first… we have another matter."
Another matter indeed.
If Saiguu had returned—
Then Hanachirusato must not remain alone.
But to resurrect her properly—
One step would be necessary first.
Miko's eyes gleamed faintly.
Some operations…
Required precision.
