My God, My Love | Eimiko

Intrigue

"Yae Miko said she was placing her god-" starts Lumine, in intrigue before the Guuji's hand is quick to clamp over her mouth with surprising speed and her furry, pink kitsune ears set aflame. "Ahem! Yae Miko said nothing of the sort, and Lumine here has some nerve making up spurious claims about her whilst she is still present. Some words are not to be passed on," interrupts Yae Miko, glaring at Lumine. She steps forward and crouches, whispering, "Trust me, you don't want to know the cost of betraying me. Just think of the things I said to you as our little secret. Understood?"

The dangerous flicker of Electro in the Guuji's eyes is more than enough to send Paimon into a frenzy, yelling, "Alright, alright, we get it! Come on, Lu, let's hurry up and go, Paimon's starving." The fairy is quick to help shove her companion out of the Grand Narukami Shrine - leaving Yae smirking and Ei a confused mess.

"Miko, what was Lumine trying to say?" asks Ei, only to be shushed by her wife. "It's our little secret, Ei~" chuckles Yae, walking over and gently brushing her fingers under her braid, circling the Mitsudomoe symbol tattooed onto the nape of her neck. She then waves at the Archon and vanishes in a flurry of Electro and Sakura petals. Ei was thoughtful - should she pursue the real reason? There had to be something nice for Yae's ears to redden like that!

Ei was quick to teleport behind Lumine and Paimon soon after, startling the two. "Ah! Oh, it's you, Ei. Do you need something from me?" asks Lumine, holding onto the top of her dress as her breathing returns to normal after being startled from the random appearance of the Archon. "Yes. Paimon, do you mind?" responds Ei, as the fairy pouts, saying, "Ugh, fine! Paimon will be going then!"

"Head over to Komore Teahouse and wait there," says Lumine, and Paimon nods, before disappearing in a flurry of stars.

"So, what do you need from me?" questions Lumine, hand on hips with a most peculiar smirk on her face. "I need to know what you and Yae were talking about earlier," mutters Ei. "Unfortunately, I cannot reveal what Yae told me, that is, if I wish to stay alive," chuckles Lumine in response. The Archon is greatly amused by her reply, but she is the Electro Archon after all, and was granted with unbelievable strength and power, which can be used for various little endeavors.

"Lumine... you know what can happen if you don't tell me, right? Do tell, who's scarier - me or Miko?" whispers Ei dangerously, thinking, "Obviously, it's me!"

"Miko," states Lumine simply, and giggling once she sees the traumatized expression on Ei's face. "Ei, you do know how mischievous your wife is. Surely you of all people know the true depths of her nature?" laughs Lumine. "Hmm... is there anything I could bargain to know that information then?" ponders Ei. "I really have nothing to want, to be completely honest. Found Aether, got two lovely girlfriends in Ayaka and Yoimiya and so much more," chortles Lumine. "So is there really nothing I can do to know?" sighs Ei, drooping.

"You could just ask your wife?" questions Lumine, to which the Archon responds with, "She said it was a secret."

"Well, keep your eyes peeled over the next couple of days... perhaps it'll come to you what it is," says Lumine, waving at Ei as she runs off into Inazuma City. "Most peculiar of Lumine to say that, but I'll trust her, I suppose," mutters Ei, teleporting back home.

--------------------------------------

Two days later, Ei is taking a leisurely walk in the more rural parts of Inazuma when a poster flies past her, catching onto her foot due to the heavy winds. She tuts, before bending over and picking it up, before staring at in curiosity. "Find all of life's answers! Come to Megistus' Prophecy, wherein all of your questions will be answered!" reads Ei aloud, and her eyes narrow as she thinks.

"Could Lumine have set up this place as a discreet way for me to find out about Yae's secret?"

Even if that wasn't the reason, there seemed nothing wrong in checking out this supposed astrology booth. She teleports using a nearby Waypoint towards the location, striding forward with purpose as she arrives in front of the booth relatively quickly. "Is this Megistus' Prophecy?" asks Ei, trying to peer under the darkened room, shielded from the outside world via curtains. "Indeed so," singsongs a voice, as a girl with dark purple hair tied into twin tails, pale green eyes and dressed in a leotard of sorts along with a massive witch's hat appears, before gasping, raising a gloved hand as she does so. "The Raiden Shogun!" exclaims the girl, before quickly bowing in respect.
