Ethereal slumber- Raiden shogun x Tomo

Chapter 50

The time flew by fast, when Yoimiya and Ei finally arrived to Hanamizaka. The sky was in a shade of maroon with a light pastel of pink brushing through the clouds and a reflection of the moon up above.

"Well~ this is goodbye now, lady Shogun! It was nice having a walk by your side" Yoimiya gave her a sweet smile "Indeed, it was... fun. Becareful on your way home next time, okay?" Ei said with concern and Yoimiya giggled "I'll be okay. Bye bye~" Yoimiya waved goodbye and skipped off inside the city.

Ei also waved goodbye to the festive girl before going to her way to her humble abode. Servants greeted her in the halls, as she flopped down onto her cozy futon, nuzzling her head against the soft pillow.

She sat back up and decides to take a shower, she reek of the saltiness of the ocean and broken wires.

After Ei finished taking a bath, she flopped down herself onto the soft futon with her body getting relaxed by the fluffiness of the bed.

Her eyes felt drowsy and heavy, feeling like drifting off to sleep. Ei accepted her tiredness and closed her eyes. Before Ei could get a taste of sweet slumber, she was then woken up by a knock on her chamber door.

Alerted, Ei sighed and stood up from the futon to answer the door.

"Who is it— before Ei could finish her own sentences, she was then got into an embrace by a pink haired kitsune that made Ei stumble to the floor with her back pressed against the wooden flooring.

Yae was hugging Ei tightly with her body resting on top of Ei's. She showed her fox tail to Ei as it wag every after seconds.

Ei was confused by the pink fox's behavior and tried pulling her out to free herself from the kitsune's embrace.

"Hm~? Why are you pulling away from me, Ei?" Yae looks sad but her voice sounded teasing to Ei "Please get off me, Miko" Ei said with her eyebrows furrowed and questioned after, "Why are you here?" Ei asked while Yae got off of the Bakufu.

"Is it bad to visit an old friend?" Yae asked with a calm face and Ei responded to her by giving her a shook of her head "No, not at all. There's nothing bad with visiting a friend" Ei said making Yae smile.

"Thank you. I was worried that you might've forgotten a close friend of yours" Yae spoke while scooting closer to Ei "Why are you thanking me of all a sudden?" Ei had a confused face making the fox kitsune giggle at the oblivious archon.

"Forget about what I said. The reason why I'm here—is to spend some quality time with you" Yae said and added "I might aswell tell you about what happened in the past hundreds of years in perfect detail" Ei giggled at what she said and asked "And how long would that last?" Yae hummed for a moment and answered "Another hundreds of years, I guess" the two electro women laughed it out in eachother's company.

Yae stood up and extended a hand for Ei to also stand up "Let's have dinner at the memorable place we had spent centuries ago" Yae suggested their favorite place to set their dinner and Ei nodded in agreement with the kitsune, while holding hands with her.

They exited Tenshukaku and walked among the streets of Inazuma City. The city was dazzling with light and scent of freshly cooked takoyaki can be smelled from almost a mile away.

The first time Ei stepped foot onto the real world, her peoples' attention was on her like a single lit candle within the darkness. Ei felt rather awkward, embarrassed, ashamed that her people were so nice to her, even when they were trapped in her fingers under ruling her nation in tyranny. But it wasn't her that done it, the puppet was. Then why does she felt guilty at the time(?)

"Don't you think it's dangerous to wander around at this time of hour?" Ei turned to Yae if she agrees and in return, the kitsune giggled "Fufufu... why do you worry about that when you're like stronger than most mortals living in Teyvat right now?... or perhaps..." Yae Miko ended with a pause and stared at Ei in the eyes "You got it wrong, Miko. I... I'm c-concerned of your safety..." Ei looked away from the pink fox when she spoken her statement.

Yae giggled and pulled Ei closer to her side by her hand above Ei's shoulder "I see~ hmp, You're not so dense afterall" Yae gave her a teasing smile making Ei pout and averts her eyes away from her.

A sigh flee out of Yae's glossy lips and rubbed Ei's shoulder before letting her go of her shoulder "I'll stop teasing you..." Yae mumbled with a tint of sorrow in her tone of voice.

The rest of the stroll out of the city and into the outskirts of Narukami Island was flooded by silence.

The two women were both drowning by the silence and Yae was thinking of a way to resolve the suffocating atmosphere between the two of them, while Ei was thinking deeply in her thoughts if she really have been cold around Yae.

"Ei..." Yae started making Ei drawn out of her own thoughts and her attention was now fully on the kitsune "Is... something troubling you?" Yae asked and Ei was confused why she asked that type of question "Why do you think so?" Ei spoke to her back with a question "We might not be that close now these days but we're still the same people we knew in the past..." Yae paused for a moment with her being still like a stone.

Ei was admiring the fox's beauty under the moonlight, as she was glimmering in gorgeousness. Ei was a bit caught off guard for a few seconds and blinked twice to regain consciousness when she noticed Yae's lips moving as in talking.

Ei didn't heard Yae's words clearly "...So I think that— Yae's sentence was soon cut off by shouting from the distance that caught both women's attention.
