Chương 119: This Trainee Fatui Harbinger is Too Unreliable [119]
Luo Qing looked at the Raiden Shogun, who was kneeling before him, and shook his head slightly. Why did you have to push me this far?
Forcing things like this was too crude.
He preferred to take things slow and steady.
"Alright, my dear General, can we have a proper conversation now?"
Luo Qing squatted down in front of the Raiden Shogun, leveling his gaze with hers. Then, to Teresa's shock, he reached out and patted the Shogun's head.
He petted her as if she were a purple kitten, rather than the cold and fearsome God of Thunder.
"You... I knew it was you..."
The Raiden Shogun's face turned a deep shade of red, her breath hitching softly. There was a hint of shame and anger in her eyes as she looked at Luo Qing.
"Fine, I admit it was me. But who told you to keep attacking without stopping?"
As he spoke, Luo Qing continued to gently ruffle her hair.
"How did you manage this..."
"Because I'm handsome~"
"..."
[Frustration Value +1 from the Raiden Shogun]
Confusion filled the Raiden Shogun's heart. Aren't I just a puppet? How could I have such strange feelings...
She was a being equal to the gods. How had Luo Qing done this to her?
"Luo Qing-sama, she..."
"Go get Natalia and the others. It's fine now."
"O-okay..."
...
Not long after.
The four-member rescue squad gathered in the Tenshukaku, kneeling in a row on the tatami.
Before them, Luo Qing sat on the elevated platform, his gaze complicated as he looked down at the group.
The Raiden Shogun sat beside him, her hands clasped together, looking uncharacteristically docile.
"You all..."
Luo Qing's voice was calm. "Didn't I teach you better than this? How could you be so sloppy with your intel?"
The four knelt, shivering, not daring to make a sound.
"Don't you all know my strength by now? I was eating well, drinking well, and who said I was about to be executed in public?!"
"Um..."
Teresa timidly raised her hand.
"It... it was the eldest daughter of the Yashiro Commission... She said, by Inazuman law, disturbing the Vision Hunt ceremony so severely usually warrants a public execution..."
"Yes, yes, Luo Qing-sama! She's the one who gave us the information, saying that you were being held alone in the Tenshukaku..."
"..."
[Frustration Value +1 from Luo Qing]
Luo Qing was speechless.
He didn't want to use another affection card on the Raiden Shogun.
Those cards increased affection forcibly, with no buildup.
If he used too many, it would definitely turn into a yandere situation.
Moreover, the Raiden Shogun, being a puppet with limited emotions, could react unpredictably if she ever caught him being affectionate with another woman. He did not want to face her wrath.
He could already imagine her chasing him down with a blade.
"Natalia, what did you see me doing in that mirror just now?"
"It... it looked like you were lying down, reading a light novel..."
"And do you think that's what someone about to be executed looks like?"
"Um..."
Natalia lowered her head, nervously fidgeting behind her. Then, she pointed at Teresa to deflect blame.
"My lord... It was Teresa who said... that according to Liyue's traditions, you might have been having a last meal before execution, and that we needed to hurry to rescue you before it was too late..."
"Hmm?"
Luo Qing's gaze turned to Teresa.
"I..."
"My lord... I was just worried... How was I supposed to know you could..."
Teresa looked bashful.
She never imagined that her lord's charm was so immense that he could even win over the legendary Raiden Shogun.
Moments ago, the Shogun was a cold and aloof figure, but now she had transformed into a gentle and compliant woman.
That was the God of Thunder!
"Win over who?"
"Um..."
"Alright, stand up."
Luo Qing sighed softly, his tone lightening.
"Whatever the case, your intentions were good. You can head back for now. I'll reward all of you properly when I return."
No matter what, his subordinates had risked their lives to rescue him, even daring to challenge a deity. That moved him deeply.
Though their efforts had been somewhat misplaced, he still intended to reward their loyalty.
Otherwise, what kind of leader would he be?
"Yes... My lord."
They responded in unison.
Just as they were about to leave, Teresa looked back with a concerned expression.
"What about you, my lord?"
"I have some business to take care of. I'll return later."
"Oh..."
...
After they departed.
Luo Qing turned to the Raiden Shogun, resting his chin on his hand with a playful glint in his eye.
"Thank you for sparing them, my dear General~"
"D-don't call me that..."
The Raiden Shogun's face was bright red as she looked away, casting a brief glance at Luo Qing before quickly averting her eyes.
By now, she had fully absorbed the effects of the latest affection card.
She could no longer pretend to be aloof with Luo Qing. Whenever their eyes met, she couldn't help but want to nestle into his arms.
She was the Raiden Shogun, for goodness' sake! How could she behave like this...
But... it was so hard to resist.
"Then what should I call you? My sweet little darling~?"
"Ugh... don't call me that either..."
"Alright, alright, I'll stop teasing."
Luo Qing chuckled, eager to see just how far this 52.5 affection rating could push the Raiden Shogun.
"Give me your hand."
"Wha...?"
"Your hand..."
"Mhm..."
Suppressing her inner turmoil, the Raiden Shogun slowly extended her right hand.
The moment she did, Luo Qing's fingers interlocked with hers, holding her hand firmly.
"Mmm..."
The Raiden Shogun lowered her head, not resisting at all.
Alright.
Luo Qing studied her expression and, after a moment's thought, decided to push further.
"I'm feeling a bit tired. General, could you give me a lap pillow?"
"Mhm..."
The Raiden Shogun's blush deepened, but she nodded, unable to resist.

Chương 120: This Trainee Fatui Harbinger is Too Unreliable [120]
Her deep purple stockings exposed a glimpse of pale, soft skin—delicate and smooth.
"Well then, I won't hold back~"
Luo Qing chuckled lightly as he leaned back against the Raiden Shogun and slowly lay down.
The next moment, the back of his head met a warm, soft sensation—it was like the best pillow in the world.
"Mmm... Ah..."
The thighs were a sensitive area for any girl, and this was the first time the Raiden Shogun had been touched in such a forbidden, sensitive place by a man. The moment Luo Qing settled in, she couldn't suppress a light moan.
Even though she was a puppet of the God of Thunder, right now, she felt a shudder run through her entire body as if electrified.
"Ah, this is nice..."
Luo Qing closed his eyes and let out a heartfelt sigh.
There was no denying it—a lap pillow was pure bliss.
Sensing eyes on him, Luo Qing opened his own to find the Raiden Shogun looking down at him, her face tinged with a rosy blush.
Caught in the act, she quickly averted her gaze, pretending to admire the scenery around them.
Her shy and flustered expression was worlds apart from the cold and aloof General she usually presented.
"Hey, General, while I had my eyes closed, were you peeking at me just now~?"
Luo Qing teased with a playful grin.
"I..."
The Raiden Shogun glanced away, the blush on her face deepening.
"So, General, can you look at me when you talk?"
"This..."
"Hm?"
"Alright..."
The Raiden Shogun's body was stiff as she slowly lowered her head, meeting Luo Qing's gaze.
At that moment, their eyes locked—her heartbeat quickened, filled with a growing desire.
I want...
...
After lying there for a while.
Seeing that the Raiden Shogun was comfortable with providing a lap pillow, Luo Qing decided it was time to push things further.
After savoring the warmth of her lap for a little longer, he sat up and patted his own thigh.
"Well then, it's my turn to give you a lap pillow now, General~"
"Eh...?!"
The Raiden Shogun looked shocked, glancing at his lap before swallowing nervously.
She had managed Inazuma in place of Ei for centuries, but never before had she experienced such a turbulent surge of emotions.
"Come on, don't be shy~"
Luo Qing patted his thigh again.
He could only enjoy lying down passively, but if she lay down... she'd be entirely at his mercy.
"Mhm..."
With a slightly stiff movement, the Raiden Shogun nodded.
Her body tense, she slowly lay down. From the moment she was created until now, she had never given or received a lap pillow.
As she touched Luo Qing's thigh, her heart raced, and a warmth spread throughout her body.
Luo Qing's thigh wasn't as soft as a woman's, a bit firmer—a poor pillow choice, perhaps.
But as a position...
"A little higher."
"Mhm..."
Following Luo Qing's instructions, the Raiden Shogun adjusted herself, resting her head higher on his thigh.
She had barely settled when, without warning, Luo Qing's hands cupped her cheeks, his fingers gently tracing her soft, pale skin.
"What are you..."
"Shh~ Don't speak~"
"Mmm..."
Luo Qing looked down at the Raiden Shogun, their eyes meeting once again.
But she couldn't hold his gaze for more than a second, immediately looking away, her embarrassment clear.
Ah... that sweet shyness...
Seeing the Raiden Shogun's reaction, Luo Qing's mind began to race.
Physical intimacy between couples usually progresses from light to deep, and since she didn't seem to mind the lap pillow, he considered testing the next step.
After a moment's thought, he held her cheeks firmly, ensuring she couldn't turn away.
Their eyes met once more, and a silent understanding seemed to pass between them.
There's a chance!
Excitement welled up in Luo Qing's chest. He swallowed hard and slowly lowered his head.
Their faces drew closer, and their breaths mingled as they were about to touch.
But just as they were about to kiss, the Raiden Shogun's expression suddenly changed.
She swiftly pulled away from Luo Qing's embrace, a mix of shame and anger flashing in her eyes.
Before he could react, she slapped him hard across the face and retreated several paces, clutching her chest to prevent her robe from slipping off her shoulders.
Luo Qing had tried to undress her without her noticing!
The knot of her sash had almost been untied. Had she not reacted quickly, he might have succeeded.
"You're too much, trying to undress me...!"
The Raiden Shogun glared at Luo Qing, her eyes burning with both fury and embarrassment.
"Ahem... I didn't mean to... It's just a force of habit..."
"A habit?"
"Ahem, well, I'm very skilled at... removing clothes..."
Luo Qing looked a bit sheepish. He wasn't sure why he did it either.
They were supposed to test out a simple kiss, but before he knew it, his hands had slipped to the knot at her back.
I've never undressed a girl in a kimono before...
Why did it feel so familiar?
"..."
[Frustration Value +1 from the Raiden Shogun]
"Leave now."
The Raiden Shogun readjusted her sash and pulled her collar up, turning her back to Luo Qing.
Her purpose was to govern Inazuma, not to engage in this flirtatious behavior with Luo Qing.
If she didn't use her anger now to drive him away, she knew she'd soon be too weak to resist. Then, she'd never be able to leave Tenshukaku, abandoning her responsibilities.
After all, someone was still watching her from the Plane of Euthymia.
"Oh? Sending me away so soon, General~?"
Luo Qing crossed his arms and teased, "Could it be that you can't bear to see me go~?"
"I'm only granting your wish to leave," she murmured, her voice barely above a whisper, still facing away from him.
She couldn't afford to look at him—not now. If she did, she feared her resolve would crumble entirely.
"Alright then, I'll come visit you next time, General~"
Luo Qing gave a lighthearted smile, then turned and leapt from the balcony, heading towards Hanamizaka.
He had stayed in Tenshukaku long enough. While the affection cards had raised the Shogun's and Ei's goodwill to a level where physical contact was possible, he still had concerns.
He wouldn't act recklessly with forced affection while he wasn't strong enough to definitively control both the Shogun and Ei.
Like just now—trying to undress the Raiden Shogun. No one knew if she was wearing anything underneath. If she hadn't been, it might have ended in a lot more than a slap.
After Luo Qing left.
The Raiden Shogun returned to her high seat, glancing briefly at the balcony to confirm that he was truly gone.
A strange sense of loss welled up in her heart.
