Ningguang looked at Ei with a warm smile.
"Miss Ei, we meet again."
"Welcome to Liyue once more!"
Hearing this, Ei also responded with a gentle smile:
"Yes, it's been a while since we last met."
"This time, I came specifically to experience the joy of the Chinese New Year."
"Consider it a little vacation for myself."
She didn't hide her reason for coming.
This time, she came simply because she wanted to experience the new festival in Liyue.
Ningguang nodded.
"You're always welcome!"
The two exchanged greetings.
Then Ei turned to look at her sister.
"Ei, what were you doing just now?"
"Were you fighting with the Anemo Archon?"
If Ei didn't provide a proper explanation today, Ei might actually scold her.
Why on earth was she fighting with Mondstadt's Anemo Archon for no apparent reason?
This was too childish.
Hearing her sister's inquiry, Ei suddenly hesitated.
She didn't know what to say.
But!!
A certain fox didn't care.
Seeing Ei expression, Yae Miko chuckled and said:
"Because someone lost to Barbatos in a game."
"Then she became angry out of embarrassment."
"Rushed out and started slashing..."
Before she could finish, Ei shot her a murderous glare.
Hearing Yae Miko's words, Ei was speechless.
Did she still not understand?
Because she couldn't win the game, she had resorted to brute force.
Ei knew her sister too well.
Despite her usual stern demeanor, her personality was akin to a child's.
She had a sweet tooth and enjoyed fun activities.
She must have found something interesting but then couldn't keep up with others.
So, she tried to settle it privately...
Poof.
Ei couldn't hold back her laughter.
"Haha~~!"
"Ei, why are you so childish?"
The ruthless mockery from her own sister made Ei face completely darken.
She was very upset.
Extremely upset!
But there was nothing she could do!
So frustrating!!
After all, this was her sister!!
"That's right, it's childish!"
"Really, she asked me for a million moras just to play the game."
"At first, I didn't want to give it, but this brute wanted to chop me up."
"Poor me~~!"
"I'm just a little fox; how could I resist this rough treatment!!"
"Sob, sob..."
Seeing the exaggerated performance of this mischievous fox, Ei really wanted to kill her on the spot.
And then make a coat out of her fur!!
"Alright, let's go inside!"
Seeing her sister's murderous gaze, Ei quickly grabbed the fox and ushered everyone indoors.
Otherwise, even she couldn't stop Ei if she truly lost her temper.
After all, among the three sisters, Ei had the highest combat power.
Next was the General.
She was the weakest among them.
Glancing at Yae Miko, Ei couldn't help but think this fox had a knack for stirring trouble.
Shaking her head, she decided not to dwell on it.
Instead, she led everyone into Takumi's manor.
At this time, Takumi had already prepared tea.
When Klee and the others saw Ei arrive, they eagerly greeted her.
Seeing the adorable Klee, Ei's face lit up with a smile.
Then her gaze turned to Takumi.
"Takumi!"
Hearing Ei call out, Takumi nodded.
"Please, have a seat!"
He gestured for Ei to sit down and then poured tea for everyone.
Seeing this, Ei glanced at Kujou Sara standing behind her and said:
"Sara, have a seat too."
After saying this, Ei was the first to sit down.
Kujou Sara, hearing the command, didn't hesitate.
She sat down obediently.
It had been a while since Ei returned to Inazuma.
Kujou Sara had been by her side all this time.
She naturally understood Ei's character.
Though Ei usually appeared gentle, she was also quite firm.
Sometimes, Ei would even invite Kujou Sara to meals.
When there were many people, refusal wasn't an option.
If Kujou Sara hesitated, Ei would give a direct order.
Over time, Kujou Sara learned not to refuse anything Ei said.
She had become accustomed to it.
So, as soon as Ei spoke, Kujou Sara sat down without a word.
Then, Ei took out the gifts she had brought.
Everyone received something, all of them Inazuma's specialties.
After distributing the gifts, Ei began chatting with Takumi.
"Aside from experiencing the festival, I also came with a request."
She looked at Takumi and spoke directly.
Hearing this, Takumi was a bit surprised.
"What is it?"
"Is there something I can help with?"
Ei smiled and took out two items.
A mask and a sword.
Seeing these two items, everyone was stunned.
Yae Miko and Ei also focused their attention on them immediately.
"Is this... the mask of Lady Huu Tao?"
"And... Master Chiyo's dart..."
Yae Miko was visibly shocked.
But soon, she seemed to realize something.
Her eyes shifted to Takumi.
"Please, help us!"
"As long as you can revive Lady Huu Tao, I'll do anything you ask!"
At this moment, Yae Miko was entirely serious.
Hearing this, Ei also looked at Takumi curiously.
To be honest, Ei was a bit confused.
She never expected her sister to bring these relics over.
Takumi looked at Yae Miko with interest.
"Anything?"
"Are you sure?"
Having said that, Takumi turned his gaze to Keqing, who was already frowning.
And, that look of a cat ready to pounce.
Yae Miko also realized she might have misspoken!
However, she quickly became resolute.
Yes, if Takumi could bring back Lady Huu Tao, no request would be too much.
At this moment, Ei finally spoke up.
"Takumi, can you do it?"
"If you can, please help us."
She looked at Takumi with hopeful eyes.
Hearing her plea, Takumi nodded.
"Sure, it's not difficult."
"It's much easier than resurrecting those Yakshas."
The memories of Lady Huu Tao were still present.
Gathering her soul was even simpler.
And... the flowers...
Well, might as well do it together.
Thinking of this, Takumi began to act.
With the power of the Herrscher of Death, the items floated up.
Powerful life force began to gather.
Three phantoms slowly emerged.
Seeing this, Ei nudged Yae Miko.
Ei was genuinely surprised, but quickly accepted it.
The witch...
Thinking back to when she found the mask, Ei understood everything.
Ningguang and the others also watched closely.
It was their first time witnessing Takumi's resurrection ability so closely.
