Raiden Shogun is Good to Ship

(Brain storage)

"What evidence do you have to prove what you're saying?"

Ei turned her head and looked at Lin Yiyi.

Honestly, the whole thing was too fantastical. Whoever heard it probably wouldn't believe it right away.

Lin Yiyi sighed and gestured for the two of them to lean closer, but then he suddenly regretted it.

Why did these two older sisters smell so good?!

Especially Yae Miko's cherry blossom scent, which made the boy's ears turn red.

When you're young, you don't know how wonderful older sisters are and mistake young girls for treasures.

Narukami forever!

Lin Yiyi opened Genshin Impact on his phone, slowly pushed open the stone doors, and entered another world.

"This is... Grand Narukami Shrine?"

The last time Lin Yiyi logged off, he had happened to be at the shrine. When he pulled for Chiori, he had thought the shrine might bring him good luck.

So when Yae Miko saw the Sacred Sakura before her, she was slightly surprised as well.

Most absurdly, right in front of them, Lin Yiyi added Raiden Shogun and Yae Miko to his party.

Ei remained silent, while Yae Miko watched with great interest as the boy expertly controlled the two of them through commissions on the screen.

When Ei saw the naginata in her in-game self's hand, she could not help but freeze for a moment.

"It's exactly the same as the weapon I wield."

Then, in a public place like KFC, she was about to summon her naginata out of thin air.

"Hey, hey, hey! Ei, people will think you're a freak if you do that in public!"

Seeing Ei reach out her hand, Lin Yiyi hurriedly stopped her.

"It seems this place is quite different from Inazuma."

Lin Yiyi then opened the character screen.

When the two women looked at their weapons, both were quite astonished.

After getting permission, Ei ultimately summoned her naginata under the table in secret, then made it vanish into thin air again.

It was worth mentioning that perhaps because the dimensions were different, the naginata did not hang behind her back but disappeared completely.

Lin Yiyi switched the naginata to Skyward Spine, then motioned for Ei to take out her weapon again to see whether anything had changed.

This time, to both women's surprise, the weapon beneath Ei's feet was exactly the same as the one equipped in the game: Skyward Spine.

Even Lin Yiyi found it incredible. He had never tried changing weapons before, so this was an eye-opener for him.

After Ei put her weapon away, Lin Yiyi could not help asking:

"How do you two make your weapons appear with a whoosh and disappear into thin air?!"

The two exchanged a smile without saying much.

Then Lin Yiyi showed them the constellations and the other characters.

The remaining four Archons, all sorts of companions under Inazuma, and other friends he did not recognize.

When Ei saw an Anemo character, she visibly froze.

"I know this person very well, but I can't remember who he is."

Lin Yiyi looked at the phone screen and saw that the person wore a kasa hat and had extremely slender legs.

"Him? He named himself Wanderer. Maybe the two of you met once before."

"Perhaps you've met too many important people and simply forgot him."

Ei truly had no memory of him, so she decided not to dwell on it.

Naturally, Lin Yiyi would not tell her that this person was Kunikuzushi—the first-generation puppet she had created to resist erosion, one capable of emotions.

The two continued browsing through the character roster until they saw Lumine among them.

"Oh? It's that little one I like so much."

Yae Miko fiddled with the screen with interest, making Lumine zoom in and out before her eyes.

"You even have the Traveler? How very interesting."

Lin Yiyi shook his head. "No."

"I am the Traveler."

The moment he said that, both women were clearly stunned for a while.

Lin Yiyi explained further, "The Traveler's goal in Teyvat is to journey through the seven nations and search for her blood relative."

"At the beginning of this game, we're allowed to choose either of the two."

"I chose Lumine because she's pretty, ahem—"

Ei nodded thoughtfully. At that moment, she had completely accepted the reality that she was a virtual character created by others.

But the Traveler was fictional too, and she did not think there was anything bad about that.

After all, she was still sitting here alive and well, together with a friend from another dimension.

As for Yae Miko, it seemed she had never taken it seriously in the first place.

"Then between Ei and me, who do you think is prettier?"

Yae Miko looked at Lin Yiyi teasingly and asked.

Without even thinking, Lin Yiyi blurted out:

"Obviously, I'm the prettiest!"

Naturally, Yae Miko and Ei responded with disdainful looks.

"Ahahaha, both of you are gorgeous older sisters. If someone has to choose, then of course I'll take both."

Lin Yiyi laughed and sighed. He had not expected that they truly would not mind hanging out with someone like him, who struggled at the bottom of society.

The two sat on either side of Lin Yiyi, seemingly not treating themselves as outsiders at all as they chatted and laughed naturally.

Sensing the faint cherry blossom fragrance coming from both sides, Lin Yiyi suddenly smiled.

"Why are you suddenly smiling? Did I say something wrong just now?" Yae Miko asked. "Don't you want to see Ei holding this fish fork?"

Ei rolled her eyes at her, then looked back at the phone.

"I'm smiling because people as noble and high-ranking as you are actually willing to hang out with a common nobody like me."

"I must be imposing on you."

After hearing that, Yae Miko smiled too.

"Who is born noble?"

"Besides, you were willing to invite me to visit your world. Shouldn't we be the honored ones?"

"On normal days, we don't even have time to visit other countries, let alone other worlds."

"Little one, if you get the chance, you'll have to invite us over more often, all right?"

Ei nodded and said:

"Once, when the Traveler and I went out shopping together to clear our minds, the people of Inazuma City showed great reverence toward me when they saw me."

"But that day, I only wanted to take a walk. I had no particular intentions."

"There's no need to be constrained by status. Right now, we are your friends. Just be yourself."

Lin Yiyi smiled again, making the Narukami Duo think there was something a little strange about his head.

He had already lost count of how many times it had happened. People like them always gave him the greatest affirmation and comfort.

No wonder so many people wanted to escape into the world of anime. With a world so wonderful, who wouldn't long for it?

The boy smiled and shook his head.

"Let's not talk about that anymore. Since we've come to this place, we should definitely get something to eat first."

"Eat whatever you want today. I'm paying."

It had to be said that the two had a different air from Hu Tao and Zhongli. Hu Tao was lively and adorable, while Zhongli was gentle and refined, making them seem easy to approach.

But these two, whether in their clothing or the aura they gave off from within, made people feel as though they were two icebergs—extremely difficult to get along with.

Besides that, the two seemed like a complementary pair: one steady and reserved, the other skilled at keeping a conversation going.

The Narukami Duo were the absolute best!
