Capítulo 172: This Trainee Fatui Harbinger is Too Unreliable [172]

Yae Miko stood in place, her hand supporting her chin as she watched Luo Qing's figure vanish into the distance.

The moment he raised his hand earlier, the turbulent flow of time she had sensed seemed to abruptly cease.

Moreover, the faint glow that had gathered around the Sacred Sakura Tree emitted an aura that felt both familiar and foreign—similar to Ei's yet distinctly different.

"Could it be..."

Linking together Luo Qing's recent actions, an extraordinarily bold theory emerged in her mind.

"Does he really have such power?"

Yae Miko glanced at the Sacred Sakura Tree.

For reasons she couldn't explain, the tree seemed smaller than before, its cherry blossoms less radiant than usual.

Just as she debated whether to track down Luo Qing and confront him directly, hurried footsteps interrupted her thoughts.

She turned to see Lumine and Paimon waving as they approached, and alongside them was her old friend—Ei.

"You're back already? Seems everything went smoothly," Yae Miko remarked with a soft smile, her eyes scanning Ei from head to toe.

"My, so you've stepped out of your shell. How does embracing the future feel?"

"...It's fine," Ei murmured.

"Lady Miko, you won't believe this!" Paimon exclaimed, her tone exaggerated. "We just met Makoto!"

"Makoto?"

Yae Miko raised an eyebrow. Her voice was calm but carried a hint of curiosity.

"Little Paimon, care to explain in detail?"

"It happened right after Ei defeated the Shogun! Makoto's voice came from within the Musou Isshin sword!"

Paimon animatedly recounted everything that had transpired in the realm of consciousness.

As the story unfolded, Yae Miko's expression grew more thoughtful. By the time Paimon finished, she had pieced the sequence of events together.

"No wonder... So it was you three who calmed the turbulence I sensed earlier."

Yae Miko resumed her contemplative pose, her expression serious.

By now, she realized the truth—Luo Qing had known in advance not only what would transpire within the realm of consciousness but also that Makoto would manifest when Ei's heart truly changed, delivering the Sacred Sakura Tree's seed.

That's why he had said the tree had yet to be planted at that time.

"This man..."

A trace of irritation crossed Yae Miko's face.

It had been a long time since anyone had made her feel like a mere puppet on their strings.

"Lady Miko? Is something wrong?"

Lumine's concern pulled Yae Miko from her thoughts.

"Nothing at all," she replied, her demeanor shifting as a sly smile spread across her face. Her gaze turned toward Ei.

"But you—since you know Luo Qing is still alive, how about meeting him one more time?"

Yae Miko had long been aware of the connection between Luo Qing and Ei.

Although she didn't fully understand why Ei had once sought Luo Qing's life, that didn't stop her from using her friend as an excuse to probe into Luo Qing's secrets.

At the very least, before Luo Qing returned to Snezhnaya, she intended to unearth every last bit of his mystery.

"Him..."

Ei lowered her head, her emotions conflicted.

The name "Luo Qing" stirred something inexplicable within her, a vague sense that they had shared some history, though she couldn't recall what.

"I hear he's heading back to Snezhnaya," Yae Miko teased. "If you don't seize this chance, you might have to chase him all the way there~"

"..."

Ei remained silent, her gaze unfocused as though deep in conversation with the Raiden Shogun.

"I do owe him a proper apology," she finally murmured.

Elsewhere

After slipping away from the Grand Narukami Shrine, Luo Qing quickly returned to his safehouse in Inazuma City.

The place, once lively with Rosalyne and Teresa's presence, now felt noticeably quiet as Luo Qing prepared for his imminent departure to Snezhnaya.

He glanced around at his belongings, recalling that many of his personal items had been taken by Kamisato Ayaka—likely for a cenotaph, though he wasn't entirely sure.

After tidying the room, Luo Qing retrieved a set of light purple women's kimono. With a thought, he summoned the emerald-green Seed of Nirvana from his system inventory.

[Proceed with physical reconstruction?]

Staring at the system prompt, Luo Qing steadied his excitement and selected "Yes."

The Seed of Nirvana immediately emitted a dazzling green light, floating in midair. It began to grow rapidly, the glow intensifying before condensing into the form of a young girl.

As the light faded, pale, snow-like skin gradually came into view.

When the radiance finally dissipated, a girl with long, deep purple hair floated in the air. Slowly, she opened her eyes, her expression dazed as she took in her surroundings.

"Impossible..."

A hint of astonishment flickered through her violet pupils. Before she could say more, the Seed of Nirvana's effects completed, and she plummeted, landing face-first onto Luo Qing's tatami mat.

"Ouch..."

The girl rubbed her knees, noticing Luo Qing nearby. She straightened up and looked directly at him.

"Uh..."

Luo Qing examined her from head to toe.

Her features were nearly identical to Ei's and the Raiden Shogun's—stunningly beautiful, with a figure just as ample. Yet, unlike Ei's mature demeanor, this girl carried an air of youthful innocence.

"It's you..."

Her voice was soft, tinged with disbelief.

"Yes, it's me. But more importantly..." Luo Qing swallowed, pointing first at her chest and then at the purple kimono he had set aside.

"Shouldn't you, uh, put on some clothes first?"

Just like with Rosalyne before, the system's resurrection tool had brought back her body—but not her clothing.

The girl sitting in front of him, Raiden Makoto, was utterly bare, her long purple hair barely concealing her fair skin.

Luo Qing couldn't help but steal a few more glances.

Those legs...

That figure...

...Smooth.

"..."

Makoto looked down at herself and immediately turned crimson. Hugging the kimono to her chest, she glared at Luo Qing with a mix of shame and anger.

"You...!"

"Me what?" Luo Qing asked, feigning innocence.

"Get out! I need to change!"

Makoto's voice was high-pitched, tinged with both embarrassment and frustration.

"There's no one else here. Why not just change? Besides, I've already seen everything..."

"?"

[+1 Frustration Value from Makoto]

Makoto bit her lip, glaring at him with defiant eyes. Unbeknownst to her, this very expression and posture were driving Luo Qing to the brink.

Seeing no sign of him leaving, Makoto let out a small huff, turned away, and began dressing herself.

As she picked up the kimono, she noticed something odd.

"Is this the only piece?"

"Yup. What's the problem?"

"..."

Makoto sighed.

What kind of girl wears just the outer layer of a kimono? At the very least, she should have some undergarments. This felt far too unsafe...

After securing the obi tightly, she finally turned back to face him.

"All done?"

"Yes."

"Good. Now, it's time for answers."

Luo Qing's voice turned serious as he stared at her.

"Earlier, you said 'of course.' You know me, don't you?"

"...Yes."

Makoto's lips curled slightly as she met his gaze.

"I know you, Luo Qing."

"Yes, I know you, Luo Qing."

The unexpected words from Makoto left Luo Qing momentarily stunned.

He had imagined countless scenarios for their reunion but hadn't anticipated this one.

"This..."

Luo Qing furrowed his brow, his gaze filled with disbelief as he stared at Makoto. Subtly, he activated his system and retrieved his final Master Ball, hiding it behind his back—just in case.

After all, he had resurrected Makoto to work for him, not to end up working for her.

"I can see what you're doing," Makoto said softly, glancing toward his concealed hand.

"You don't need to be so tense. I bear you no hostility."

"What else do you know...?" Luo Qing asked cautiously.

"Why don't you guess?"

"..."

"The realm of consciousness... You glimpsed the future from there," Luo Qing muttered.

Only then did it dawn on him.

The realm of consciousness existed outside the constraints of Teyvat's time and space. Lumine and Paimon had seen glimpses of both the past and future during their journey there.

If Makoto had created that space, it stood to reason she might have also seen Inazuma's future—a future that included Luo Qing.

"Something like that," Makoto replied.

"But the future is never set in stone. Your presence is just one thread among countless possibilities; it doesn't guarantee it will come to pass."

She lifted her gaze to Luo Qing, her eyes still carrying a trace of amazement.

"And yet, you happened to witness a future that involved me."

"That's correct."

"..."

Silence hung between them as Luo Qing digested her words.

For some reason, he had the nagging feeling he had made a colossal mistake.

"Then you also know why I brought you back to life?" he finally asked.

"Of course," Makoto nodded.

"You want me to work for you, to become your subordinate. And there's also..."

Her words trailed off, a faint blush creeping onto her cheeks.

"What else?" Luo Qing prompted.

"Nothing, that's it," Makoto replied quickly, avoiding his gaze.

"Well, if that's the case..."

Luo Qing paused, testing the waters.

"Does this mean you've agreed?"

"..."

Makoto hesitated, her expression conflicted.

Suddenly, she leaned forward, grabbing Luo Qing's collar.

"Why did you go after them?" she demanded.

"Huh?"

Luo Qing was caught off guard.

His gaze flickered between her eyes and the plunging neckline of her loose kimono, where a deep valley had formed from the fabric's shift.

Judging by the indignation in her eyes, Makoto knew something... significant.

"..."

After a moment, she released his collar and sat back, lowering her head.

"You... You're such a scumbag," she muttered softly.

Huh?

Luo Qing blinked, dumbfounded.

She had just been resurrected, and already she was calling him a scumbag?

"Come on..." Luo Qing sighed, his tone flat.

"I haven't even done anything to you yet."

"Not yet," Makoto countered sharply.

...Does that mean I can later?

"Can you stop speaking in riddles?" Luo Qing groaned. "Being cryptic is a terrible habit."

Makoto studied him for a moment, then sighed.

"Fine."

She began recounting what she had seen—a single thread of possibility among many, one that featured Luo Qing.

It started when a man named Luo Qing appeared in Inazuma. After resurrecting her, he brought her along as he stirred up chaos everywhere he went.

But the most damning detail was that he left a trail of relationships in his wake, enough that the number of women he had "deeply connected with" couldn't even be counted on one hand.

Even her own sister had...

"Hiss..."

Luo Qing sucked in a sharp breath.

If what Makoto said was true, then he was undeniably a scumbag of the highest order.

After a pause, he asked, "So, after seeing all that, you're still willing to come with me?"

Internally, he felt a flicker of excitement.

If Makoto had seen all of this, did it mean she would eventually...

"Fate cannot be avoided," Makoto replied.

"Once a future begins to take shape, no one can escape it."

She turned to look out the window, her expression growing somber as memories of that timeline's end resurfaced—the unparalleled disaster that lay at its conclusion.

"But before we get to that," Makoto said abruptly, pointing at her chest, "don't you think you should find me something to wear underneath this?"

To be fair, going without undergarments was comfortable, but it also felt incredibly unsafe.

"Oh! Right, one moment," Luo Qing said quickly, leaving the room.

He rummaged through Rosalyne's old wardrobe in the adjacent room, eventually finding a few sets of lingerie hidden in the back. Ignoring the sizes, he returned and handed them to Makoto.

"Here. See if these fit."

"Alright..."

Makoto examined the undergarments, then frowned as she looked back at Luo Qing.

"What are you staring at? Go on, get dressed," he said.

"..."

[+1 Frustration Value from Makoto]

"Hmph."

Turning away, Makoto began the tedious task of slipping the lingerie under her kimono.

It wasn't like the future had arrived yet—she certainly wasn't going to let Luo Qing see more than he already had.

After some effort, she turned back around, fully dressed.

"How is it?" Luo Qing asked.

"It's... a bit tight," she admitted.

"Really? That shouldn't be the case," Luo Qing mused.

Rosalyne's size shouldn't have been much different from Makoto's... Had someone tampered with the fit?

"Why would I lie to you?" Makoto shot back.

"Because comparisons and rivalry are unhealthy," Luo Qing said solemnly.

"?"

Makoto was speechless.

Did he think she cared about competing over something like this?

"Just make do for now," Luo Qing said, studying her face.

"Give me your measurements, and I'll get you some properly fitting clothes later."

"...Okay," Makoto replied, her tone subdued.

"So, I can't meet her yet, can I?"

"You already know the answer," Luo Qing said.

His current strength wasn't enough to contend with Ei or the Raiden Shogun. Since both of them had previously tried to kill him, he didn't plan on reuniting the sisters until he was certain he could handle the consequences.

Makoto fell silent.

Though she had been resurrected, her divinity and authority as a god were gone. She was now just an ordinary girl—without even a Vision to her name.

For now, her only option was to cooperate with Luo Qing to reach that ultimate end.

Even if she didn't want to, she lacked the strength to resist him.

Seeing her quiet, Luo Qing turned to leave.

But just as he stepped outside, Makoto's voice stopped him.

"Come back quickly."

"Huh?"

"And don't get too cozy with that Kamisato girl."

"?"
