Chapter 366

Yoimiya was also speechless after seeing the fireworks shops in Liyue.

In particular, there were a few merchants who had just bought goods from her and then immediately raised the prices to resell them.

Good grief, the prices were nearly double the factory price.

That was a bit outrageous.

So, instead of letting others profit off her work, she decided to set up shop herself.

She would rent a shop, recruit a few clerks, and arrange for people to regularly bring fireworks from Inazuma.

It wasn't a big problem—she was determined to open a store.

Takumi quickly understood Yoimiya's purpose for coming.

She was here to rent a shop.

"Have you found a shop you like?" he asked curiously.

"Hehe," Yoimiya chuckled. "It's in a remote place, but it's near the pier too."

"It's that shop over in the square."

"But it looks like none of those shops belong to private owners; they're all managed by Liyue's officials."

"So I had to come to you."

Takumi nodded in understanding.

"I see. Go next door and speak to the officials there."

"Just tell them I sent you to rent a shop."

"They'll arrange everything for you."

The shop in question was indeed one that Takumi had kept aside.

He hadn't planned to sell it.

But since Yoimiya was interested, he didn't mind renting it to her.

Those shops were meant for future commercial use or repurposing.

And in remote locations, they had little use otherwise.

Few people would rent them.

Since Yoimiya was selling fireworks, choosing a secluded place was actually ideal.

With Takumi's confirmation, Yoimiya nodded excitedly.

"Alright! I'm heading there now!"

With that, she got up and ran out.

She reached the office next door and made her request.

Once the officials there heard that Takumi had sent her, they processed the rental for her without hesitation.

Meanwhile, Ayaka Kamisato, who had been staying with Takumi for a while, also left.

In the following days, all of Liyue was busy applying for new ID cards.

The entrance to the General Affairs Department was bustling with activity.

As for Takumi, after so much effort, he could finally complete Raiden Makoto's resurrection.

Back at Takumi's home, Ei and Yae Miko were gathered around him.

Even Ayaka Kamisato and Yoimiya had come.

Everyone present took the resurrection of the first generation Electro Archon very seriously.

Takumi glanced at Ei.

"Shall I begin?"

Hearing this, Ei nodded.

"Please, go ahead."

She was eager to see her sister revived.

Seeing this, Takumi wasted no time.

He activated the power of the Herrscher of Reason.

First, he created a body identical to Ei's.

The moment the body took shape, Ei and Yae Miko's eyes lit up.

Ayaka and Yoimiya were also astonished.

They quickly noticed the subtle differences in the new body.

There were no tear moles at the corners of the eyes.

Though they weren't sure what other differences existed.

In reality, Takumi had deliberately followed Ei description.

He even included the distinguishing mole on her chest.

There were also minor adjustments to some details.

This body radiated an unmatched sense of warmth and familiarity.

When Ei and Yae Miko saw it, they immediately felt as though they were truly looking at Raiden Makoto herself.

"Makoto..." Yae Miko whispered subconsciously.

The resemblance was uncanny.

After completing the body, Takumi retrieved the Musou Isshin.

Then, he channeled his power, directly awakening the consciousness within the blade.

As the consciousness emerged, the aura of Raiden Makoto fully erupted.

The overwhelming thunderous energy startled Ayaka and Yoimiya.

While restoring Makoto, even her strength had returned.

She was now a complete soul.

She only lacked a physical body.

As Takumi extracted her soul, Ei and Yae Miko grew excited.

The sheer force of Makoto's energy once again caught the attention of Zhongli and Venti.

Zhongli, who was in the middle of a lecture, suddenly paused.

"She has returned."

If resurrection was truly possible...

He thought of something he had been holding onto.

Perhaps... Takumi could help him as well.

With this thought, Zhongli made up his mind.

If an old friend could be brought back, then perhaps it wasn't such a bad idea.

For now, though, he resumed his lecture.

Back at Takumi's residence.

After fully extracting Makoto's soul, Takumi deepened his connection with her.

Feeling the dormant power within himself, he smiled.

Just a little more.

Once he fully activated the power of the Herrscher of Death, he would then unlock the power of the Herrscher of Knowledge.

Mastering the power of death was the key.

And in doing so, he could fully activate all his abilities.

Makoto's soul stirred at that moment.

She was about to open her eyes when Takumi intervened, guiding her into the body he had created.

"No rush."

"Focus on fusing with this body first."

Takumi's voice echoed in her mind.

Hearing his words, Makoto was momentarily confused.

Then, she felt herself being merged with a new body.

It was just like before, when she had been alive.

At that moment, Ei called out.

"Sister!!"

Ei was overwhelmed with emotion.

Seeing her sister again, she couldn't hold back her tears.

Hearing the familiar voice, Makoto fully regained her awareness.

She began synchronizing with the body Takumi had created.

Meanwhile, Takumi didn't just stand idly by.

He continuously injected life force into the new body, making it stronger and more vibrant.

Makoto seized this opportunity to accelerate her adaptation.

Under the expectant gazes of Yae Miko and Ei, Makoto slowly opened her eyes.

The first thing she saw was Ei face.

"Ei..."

"And... Miko?"

She looked at the two familiar figures before her in confusion.

Why had Yae Miko suddenly grown up?

Hadn't she died?

Countless questions flooded her mind.

"Sister!"

Ei couldn't hold back any longer.

She threw herself into Makoto's arms, crying uncontrollably.

Seeing her sister sobbing, Makoto felt lost.

"Ei!"

"What's going on?"

She desperately wanted to understand the situation.

Takumi watched the touching reunion and smiled.

Then, without saying a word, he quietly left the room.

This was their moment to share.

He would leave it to them.

Yae Miko, Ayaka, and Yoimiya watched Takumi leave but didn't question it.

Instead, they turned their attention back to the reunion before them, full of curiosity about what would happen next.
