After reading the diary, Lu Sheng felt somewhat conflicted.

What turned her into that? Was it Genshin Impact?

That's probably it!

But when he saw the sentence about wanting to eat his mother's braised pork, Lu Sheng's already cold heart was touched.

Me too...

Lu Sheng slowly closed the notebook and set it on fire.

The flames gradually rose, his vision blurred, and the noise from Paimon around him became mesmerizing.

Lu Sheng stood there stunned for a long time, until the diary turned to ashes and even the remaining warmth dissipated, before his vision cleared again, and Paimon's noisy voice reached his ears.

He leaned back in his rocking chair, closed his eyes, and murmured softly:

Sorrowful to see flowers bloom and fade, autumn has come and a year has passed.

Though my body is thousands of miles away, my heart is still with my hometown, where the waters are sweet.

I can't fall asleep in my dreams, and the desolate night keeps me awake.

Many times I've looked up and gazed at the moon, and it's always rounder in my hometown.

After a brief moment of sadness, Rikuo reverted to his carefree self and shouted at Paimon, "Let's go eat hot pot with Yae no Miko tomorrow!"

......

In the tranquility of the Pure Land, Lei Yingdian finally couldn't resist and opened his eyes.

He hasn't come for several days.

Was it because of a few words said that day that you got angry?

He's acting like a child. It seems like he won't come back unless I take the initiative to find him.

Ying sat there blankly for a long time before finally making up her mind to leave her sanctuary and come to a country she hadn't set foot in for a long time.

Having not visited the mortal world for a long time, she wandered through the city like a silly village girl. After the war, Inazuma City gradually recovered its former vitality, but it would take a long time to return to its heyday.

"General... General!!!"

"It really is the General!"

"Long live the General!"

The moment they saw Ying's face, both soldiers and ordinary civilians showed fear. They dared not look directly at the general and all knelt on the ground, trembling.

“I am not General Thunder, I am Thunder Movie. The general is dead.”

Ying explained to the crowd, but how could these people know who was General Thunder and who was Thunder Movie?

The moment that face appeared, their first thought was to kneel down to show submission and loyalty.

Seeing that these people remained unmoved, Ying stopped talking and continued walking forward.

Until she discovered that wherever she went, people became fearful and uneasy, as if she were a plague.

Ying was deeply shocked.

In her mind, the reverence for gods should be one of respect and awe, but now she can only see fear in these people.

Ying seemed to understand what Lu Sheng meant.

She walked up to a vendor, looked at the goods, and asked, "Do you have anything sweet?"

"Yes...yes!" the vendor hurriedly agreed, frantically grabbing a string of three-colored meatballs and handing it over.

Ying took the dumpling and took a small bite. The long-lost taste of the dessert made her very happy.

"It's delicious. How much is it?"

"50 Mora..."

Ying touched herself, finding nothing there. Finally, she took off the pure gold jewelry from her clothes and handed it over, saying, "Here you go."

This action terrified the vendor, who shook his head so hard it was almost twisted into a pretzel. "No, no! How can you pay for food, General? If you like it, this whole cart of meatballs is yours!"

Ying got angry and slammed the gold jewelry onto the vendor's cart. "You have to pay for what you buy! I order you to take it!"

After saying that, she turned and left without looking back.

After the general left, the vendor shakily picked up the gold ornament. The moment he did, his food cart shattered into pieces on the ground.

At Narukami Shrine, Rikuo was enjoying hot pot and sipping sake with the shrine maiden, while shrine maidens danced below. He couldn't have been more carefree.

"Oh dear~ So that's why you've been having so much fun these past few days, you had a fight with her."

The priestess drank a cup of sake, wiped her mouth, and gave an expression that said she had expected this to happen.

Lu Sheng snorted coldly, "Argue? I'm too lazy to argue with her. She's so narrow-minded and can't think straight. Arguing with her is a waste of time."

The goddess wholeheartedly agreed, "Yes, if our Ying were even a little bit smarter, things wouldn't have turned out this way. But getting her to admit her mistakes and apologize is still too difficult, after all, she is a goddess."

"What's wrong with God? Shouldn't we apologize for doing something wrong?"

"So, you're giving her the cold shoulder?" The Divine Child rested her chin on her hands, looking at Rikuo meaningfully. "Really impressive. The time you've spent with her this month is almost equal to the total time I've spent in the last five hundred years of my life. I thought you two were just sparring, but I didn't expect you to be talking about this kind of thing."

The Divine Child understands Rikuo; he would never take the initiative to ask Kage and Inatsume to apologize. This was definitely something Kage started first.

Damn it, how far has their relationship progressed that they're talking about this kind of thing?

I was obviously here first...

Paimon ate his hotpot silently, glancing left and right twice before quickly burying his head again, not daring to speak.

There seems to be a sour smell in the air.

"Ha! You're not jealous, are you?" Lu Sheng took a sip of wine and chuckled cheekily.

"Hmph! How could I have such unnecessary feelings? I just think you're delusional. I've been with Ying for so many years, don't I know her personality? She would never issue a self-reproach edict, not even if she died! If you can get her to apologize publicly, I'll be your pet for five hundred years without a problem."

No sooner had the priestess finished speaking than an uninvited guest suddenly arrived at the shrine.

"He neglects his exercise and actually comes here to seek pleasure! What kind of behavior is this!"

The appearance of the shadow was unexpected by everyone, including Lu Sheng.

The Divine Child was even more incredulous; she had actually left the Pure Land of One Heart and come here on her own initiative!

Ying's gaze swept over the three people eating hot pot. She took a deep breath, her nostrils filled with the aroma, which made her swallow hard.

"Come back with me!" she commanded Lu Sheng.

"I'm not going back." Lu Sheng's attitude was firm. "If you want me to leave and then leave, or if you want me to go back and then go back, wouldn't I lose face?"

Ying squinted, clenched his fist, and gritted his teeth in one swift motion, seemingly about to make a move.

Seeing this, the priestess immediately stepped in front of Rikuo, "Kage, calm down, let's talk this out. This is a shrine, it's not good to resort to violence."

"Who said I was going to use force? Do you think I'm some kind of shrew who'll pull out a knife at the drop of a hat?"

As Shadow's emotions gradually calmed down, she said to the priestesses, "You all go out first."

After the shrine maidens left, Kage looked at Rikuo again, "Come back with me. I promise you, I will apologize to the people of Inazuma."

"Huh?!" The goddess's ears perked up instantly. "Kage, are you kidding me at this moment?"

“My child, I never go back on my word, don’t you know that? I will not only apologize, but also use the influence of Narukami Taisha to issue a decree of self-reproach, so that every Inatsuma person knows that their god was wrong.”

Every word the shadow spoke weighed down on the child's worldview like a mountain until the weight became unbearable, and the child's worldview completely collapsed.

Should the Shadow apologize to humanity? Or should it leverage the influence of Narukami Taisha to do so?

I must be dreaming...

Riku patted the goddess's shoulder, pulling her back from her shock, and heard the devil's whisper in her ear.

"Five hundred years, oh five hundred years! How many five hundred years does a fox demon have in his life?"

After saying that, he turned to Ying and said, "Now that things have come to this, let's have hot pot first. If you have hot pot with me and drink a couple of cups of sake, I'll go back with you."

Ying didn't stand on ceremony and went down the steps, walking straight to the table to sit down.

Do you have sweet dipping sauce?

Inazuma Chapter: Chapter 98: Male Mother

A few days later, Narukami Taisha held a grand festival at Inatsuma Castle.

Yae no Miko, dressed in a pure white shrine maiden's robe, ascended the high platform as the high priestess, while numerous shrine maidens behind her began to perform a ritual dance.

This ceremony is to appease the souls of the dead and to commemorate the soldiers who died in the war. Regardless of which side they were on in life, all those who lost their lives are included in this ceremony.

Many people came to Inatsuma Castle. Some had lost their children, some their lovers, and some their parents. They came to the grand festival to convey their longing for their deceased relatives through the power of Narukami Taisha.

As the funeral music began, the entire audience wept bitterly.

When the ceremony ended, countless people looked up and found that there was another person next to Yae no Kōji – it was the general!

In an instant, the people knelt and bowed their heads in worship.

"Long live the General!!!"

"Rise, all of you." The priest took a scroll of silk from the priestess and said to the people of Inatsuma, "The general is dead. Standing before you now is Mitakenami no Kami, the only god of Inatsuma, the guardian who slew the demon serpent Orobas and the thunderbird, the Thunder God, the Thunder Movie."

The people below looked at each other in bewilderment.

What's going on here? Isn't the person Yae-no-miya mentioned the Thunder General?

The priest slowly unfurled the silk scroll. "Next, I will read the edict of self-reproach personally issued by the Great Lord."

As soon as this statement came out, there was an uproar below.

"Lord Thor's edict of self-reproach, did I hear that right?"

"I must be dreaming!"

"Impossible! Even if you dream of such a scene, you'll be struck by lightning!"

Just as the goddess was about to read the contents of her self-reproach edict, Shadow suddenly stopped her.

"Wait, let me do it myself."

"Shadow...are you sure?" The Divine Child looked at Shadow in surprise.
