"W-what?!"
Ei's expression turned to shock as she looked up at Luo Qing.
But his expression wasn't joking. He was completely serious, genuinely suggesting here of all places...
"Here? Don't you think that's a bit..."
She hesitated, glancing away.
In their ho, every woman—except for Rosalyne, their loyal maid—had already shared such intimacy with Luo Qing.
Only Ei had held back, clinging to her ideals of restraint.
But living in this house, surrounded by won who openly vied for Luo Qing's attention, her perspective had gradually shifted.
She had even secretly fantasized about Luo Qing sneaking into her room in the dead of night, climbing under her covers, and slipping her yukata off...
But that dream had never co true. Ever since she had turned him down that one night, Luo Qing hadn't approached her again, respecting her boundaries without complaint.
Under her sister Makoto's teasing and her own growing feelings, Ei had eventually sought advice from Theresa.
Theresa, ever the mischief-maker, had shared her wisdom:
"Luo Qing sotis gets up at night. Just wait in the living room for him. Show him a little of what you've got—he's bound to give in eventually!"
The plan had sounded foolproof at the ti...
And now here she was, caught completely off guard.
"Ei..." Luo Qing whispered gently, his breath warm against her neck. "Is it alright?"
Though his words were a question, his actions were anything but tentative. His head rested in the crook of her neck, his hands exploring under her yukata.
"I..."
Ei's mind raced, torn between stopping him and surrendering to her feelings.
If I don't stop him now... I'm basically saying yes. And if I keep quiet much longer, he's going to take this yukata off completely!
Before she could decide, a voice echoed in her mind.
"Are you serious right now? Are you really just going to let this chance slip by?"
"You had one job, and you're ssing it up!"
Raiden Shogun's exasperation was palpable.
She had waited far too long for her chance with Luo Qing, but Ei's stubborn restraint had left them both unfulfilled.
"If you can't handle it, let take over!"
"..."
In an instant, Ei's pride flared. She responded silently, her thoughts resolute.
"Who says I can't? Watch !"
With newfound determination, Ei lifted her gaze.
In one swift motion, she cupped Luo Qing's face and kissed him deeply.
The kiss seed to last an eternity before they finally parted, and Ei gazed into his eyes, her voice soft and unwavering.
"It's okay."
With a flick of her hand, a deep purple barrier of lightning enveloped the two of them, expanding outward to enclose the entire mountaintop.
Outside the barrier, light and sound were completely blocked, rendering them invisible to the outside world. To any onlookers, the area now appeared deserted, a re illusion crafted by Ei's power.
"Mm..."
Luo Qing responded gently, a small smile tugging at his lips.
Without hesitation, he reached for the sash of Ei's yukata, untying it with deliberate care.

Under the sky, upon the earth...
The battle between gods was as intense as it was euphoric.
For the first ti, Luo Qing didn't have to restrain himself.
When he was with his other wives, his divine strength required constant control to avoid harming them. Every encounter left him holding back, unable to fully release his emotions.
But with Ei, everything was different.
Her godly constitution matched his own, allowing him to embrace her fully without worry. For the first ti, he felt truly free to imrse himself in the mont.
In that euphoric freedom, he found a joy so profound he could hardly think of anything else.
By dawn, the citizens of Fontaine stirred from their slumber.
Oddly, many reported feeling as though there had been an earthquake near the base of Mount Montsous during the night. It was as if the mountain itself had been trembling.
Yet, upon investigation, there were no signs of any seismic activity.
"Could it be that the sea level has risen again?"
Theories quickly spread through the city, with the streets abuzz with speculation. Even the Steambird Gazette hastily changed its headline to:
"Shocking! Fontaine Struck by Rare Earthquake—A Sign of Rising Sea Levels?"
The paper sold out across Fontaine, eventually finding its way to the Palais rmonia.
As for the two responsible for the commotion...
Back at Luo Qing's house, in Ei's room, neither she nor Luo Qing had yet fallen asleep.
The intense "battle" had left scars on the mountain, but as gods, they returned ho before dawn, lying side by side on the bed.
They were still basking in the glow of the night's events.
For beings like them, with their godly endurance, they could have continued for days without breaking a sweat.
"Thank you, Ei..." Luo Qing whispered, gently running his fingers through her hair.
The release of all the pressure he'd been carrying left him feeling lighter than he had in months.
"Thank for what..." Ei murmured softly.
Her voice was tinged with sweetness, a playful lilt that made her sound like a spoiled kitten.
Though the events of the night had surpassed her expectations, she was happy with the outco.
Her only concern now was whether Fontaine would notice the damage they had caused to the mountain.
Well, it couldn't be helped...
Two godly beings losing control in the heat of the mont... Breaking a few rocks, scorching the earth—totally normal, right?
"It's morning. We should get up..." Luo Qing exhaled contentedly, sitting up to stretch.
As he moved to dress, Ei suddenly tugged on his arm, her expression shy.
"What is it?" Luo Qing asked, surprised.
Don't tell she's not done yet...
"Not ..." Ei shook her head, her voice soft. "It's her."
"Her?"
Luo Qing blinked in confusion before realization dawned.
Of course. It had been a while since he'd seen the Shogun herself.
"But it's already morning. We're at ho..."
Luo Qing hesitated, not out of embarrassnt but practicality.
In broad daylight? What if the house collapses?
"No..."
Ei shook her head slightly. "Not here..."
"Not here? Then where—"
Before Luo Qing could finish, the air around them cracked open, and a bolt of lightning shaped like a watchful eye enveloped him entirely.
In re seconds, the scenery changed.
---
The Plane of Euthymia.
Beneath the crimson moon and ruined torii gates, Luo Qing stood in awe.
Turning around, he saw Raiden Shogun levitating nearby, her eyes slowly opening.
Behind her, the light novel shelves he rembered had been replaced by two enormous wardrobes.
"Luo Qing..."
Her voice was soft, her gaze filled with tender affection.
As she raised her hand, the wardrobe doors swung open, revealing an array of intricately designed outfits—each more provocative than the last.
"Which one do you like?"
"..."
