Yes, Lady Funina!

How hard did you kiss?

Why didn't you handle it gently? What if you broke it?

Yae no Miko felt that Ying's behavior just now was even worse than kissing Richard in front of her. After all, at least seeing it with her own eyes would let her know what the two of them did. But Ying's actions made Yae no Miko's imagination run wild.

But the time spent inside was so short, and the clothes are still intact... there shouldn't be anything wrong, right?

No, it's definitely nothing. After all, Richard is a guy who's hard to judge by common sense.

After all, a normal person would probably surrender long ago and have sex with a woman like Yae no Miko who is relentlessly pursuing them.

But Richard stubbornly stayed true to himself; this man's will was terrifyingly strong.

Originally, Yae no Miko thought that Richard was worried about breaking the balance, for example, that after eating her, she would use this to tie Richard down and prevent other women from getting close to him.

However, even though she relented and said that even if Richard ate her, she would not use it to eliminate dissidents, Richard did not do so.

Based on the current situation, Richard's refusal to eat her food likely has other reasons, rather than concerns about serving her or anything like that.

In fact, Yae no Miko had considered whether it was due to her physical condition, but after that encounter at the shrine, she quietly ruled out that possibility.

This guy... is incredibly hard!

As for the specific reason, Yae no Miko felt that Lynette should know something. It was obvious that the little kitten liked Richard, but although he showed wariness towards her approach, it was not as intense as expected.

Normally, any woman would be on high alert to prevent the other party from taking advantage of her when she sees a stunning beauty like Yae no Miko approaching her beloved and clearly expressing her feelings.

However, although Lynette took precautions, she only took them a little bit. On the day of the night raid, she even agreed to let Yae Miko sleep with her instead of taking Yae Miko back to her room to sleep.

It was as if... Lynette wasn't worried at all that Yae no Miko would preemptively devour Richard.

This discovery made Yae no Miko curious about what had caused Richard to become like this.

Could it be... that mark?

Yae no Miko thought of the contract seal in Richard's hand. On the surface, it was a contract seal, but in reality, it was the Palace Guardian Sand and Locking Yang Seal.

Hiss... those Fontainebleauers are far too despicable.

Why didn't she think of locking Richard up in the first place?

Feeling the awkward atmosphere after coming out, Richard took the Heart of God and slipped away early. Seeing Yae no Miko's absent-minded appearance, Kage couldn't help but worry.

She felt that although the goddess said she didn't care, she must actually care a lot about her relationship with Richard.

Even though he had deliberately taken Richard to the Pure Land of One Heart and didn't show any affection in front of her, she was still so agitated that she was completely distracted.

What would happen if Richard actually did something to her in front of her?

Shadow thought of many things in an instant, but in the end, it all boiled down to one sentence: "Divine Child, are you alright?"

"Huh? What could possibly be wrong with me?" Upon hearing Kage's words, Yae no Miko finally stopped daydreaming about 'how to lock Richard up'.

When Yae no Miko gave her answer, it sounded like she was forcing a smile.

They clearly care a lot, but they have to pretend to be indifferent in front of me.

She really made me cry to death.

However, it's impossible for Kage to directly say to Yae no Miko, "Are you jealous?", as that would inevitably give the impression of someone who has gained an advantage but is still acting innocent.

So all Ying could say was, "It's good that you're alright."

Yae no Miko seemed to sense Kage's worry and asked with a smile, "How did your first kiss feel?"

Ying hesitated for a moment, then remained silent.

"Wait a minute." Yae no Miko realized something seemed wrong, and the smile on her face gradually disappeared. "Kage, why aren't you saying anything? Could it be that that wasn't your first kiss?"

"...No." Ying finally chose to tell the truth, after all, the truth will eventually come out.

Her first kiss was given to Richard a hundred years ago. After all, when teaching martial arts, bumps and bruises are inevitable, and that's how it happened.

"Your first kiss was with Richard, right?"

"Ah."

No other man could get close to her except him.

Yae no Miko felt that Kage had gone a bit too far with his joke, and she couldn't help but ask, "When did this happen?"

"It was during the time I was teaching him martial arts, to be more specific, it was when he received my permission to pass on all the secrets and comprehend all the profound mysteries," Ying replied after thinking for a moment.

She asked Richard what he wanted as a reward, and he asked for this, saying he'd never kissed anyone before and wanted to try...

Once they started trying it, they couldn't stop.

From then on, after each martial arts sparring session, the two would begin to practice their kissing skills.

No, you'd just give it to him if he asked?!

Yae no Miko's beautiful face was somewhat at a loss for what expression to make. She finally understood why Richard's kissing skills were so proficient. So he hadn't practiced them during the time Richard was away?

You had already mastered the art of love before you left, right?

The innocent girl was actually myself?

Shadow, you've been hiding it really well!

Yae no Miko originally thought that because of Ying's obliviousness to emotions, she would need to help Ying get together with Richard. But now she realized that she wasn't needed at all.

I am the one who came from elsewhere!

What's even more ridiculous is that I only realized it today!

Although Richard went to Umijima Island not long after obtaining the 'Kage's 'Gen', he then left.

But quite a bit of time had passed, and during that time, I hadn't discovered anything...

Yae no Miko didn't know if it was because her observation skills were too weak, or because Richard and Kage were acting too well.

Looking back now, there were actually some signs at the time, but Yae no Kamiko attributed it all to the shadow being moved by mortal desires.

This isn't just about having worldly desires; they've already started talking!

It was several versions ahead of its own!

"If that's the case, why didn't you tell me back then? Did Richard ask you to keep it a secret?" Yae no Miko said, wishing she had known back then that Kage had secretly run away.

She certainly wouldn't sit idly by and wait to die; even if it meant forcing herself on him, she would still have to subdue this devilish Richard.

My first kiss is gone, but my first experience is still here, isn't it?

She has to take the first time, right?

If we had done that back then, would things be different now?

Forget it, I won't make these meaningless assumptions.

Yae no Miko now wants to know why Kage didn't tell her back then. Aren't they best friends who can talk about anything?

"...It was my own decision," Ying replied, taking a deep breath.

Richard didn't say anything at the time; he was too busy eating.

The reason why I didn't tell Yae no Miko was my own decision.

After all, during that period, Kage had never heard a man's name mentioned so frequently by the Divine Child. Even if she was slow to understand emotions at the time, she could tell that the Divine Child's feelings for Richard were unusual.

Originally, the decision to teach Richard martial arts was also intended to take this opportunity to test whether his character was suitable for the Divine Child, and to vet him for the Divine Child.

Yes, the results are in. She is indeed a good match for the Divine Child, and also a good match for herself.

If that's the case, wouldn't it be better if everyone just stayed together?

In fact, Ying was also a little worried at the time. If Richard really got together with the Goddess, there would be a rift in the relationship between the three of them.

If all three of them could stay together, wouldn't their relationship be able to last forever?

Surprisingly, wasn't Ying the original advocate of the 'monogamy' system?

In fact, Yae no Miko could more or less guess why Kage would hide this matter. In that case, she couldn't blame Kage even more. In short, it was all Richard's fault. If it weren't for him, she and Kage wouldn't have ended up like this.

Yae no Miko thought to herself, but a question remained in her mind: "If that's the case, then your previous statement about wanting to take Richard from me seems a bit too late, doesn't it?"

"..." Ying fell silent.

Yae no Miko narrowed her eyes and guessed, "You didn't actually intend to tell me the truth back then, but then suddenly changed your mind at the last minute, did you?"

You are right!

Seeing the expression on Kage's face, Yae no Miko knew that her guess was pretty accurate. At that moment, Kage probably wanted to confront her, but didn't know how to say it, and ultimately couldn't bring herself to say it.

It wasn't until she asked about her 'first kiss' just now that Ying finally decided to be honest.

"Feel sorry."

"If it's just an apology, I won't accept it!" Yae no Miko tapped her fingers lightly on the table, and decided after thinking for a moment.

"Tell me everything that happened back then, without holding anything back. Then I'll punish you by making you go shopping with me, and you'll have to pay for everything. Only then will this matter be over!"

"That's all?" Ying looked at Yae no Kamiko in surprise, not expecting that the other party's request would be so simple.

Originally, according to Ying's estimation, it wouldn't be surprising if the other party said they wanted to sit in the general's position for two days. However, Yae no Miko did not make such a request. She only asked Ying to tell her what had happened and accompany her shopping.

"What? You don't actually think your concealment will harm our friendship, do you? You're seriously underestimating my magnanimity," Yae no Miko said.

Although Yae no Miko did feel some frustration, she was mostly relieved.

After all, when she first kissed Richard in Fontainebleau, his skillful kissing technique made the goddess feel extremely threatened.

The case is now solved. It wasn't some stranger who helped Richard improve his skills, but Shadow. Compared to Richard having his first kiss stolen by some unknown woman, Shadow's situation isn't actually unacceptable.

There's an old saying in Liyue: "Don't let the good stuff go to outsiders."

No matter what, the meat rots in our own pot, so this will add a significant chapter to the history of our Inazuma lineage.

After all, no matter what, the identity of the first to arrive has been established. Even when they arrive in Fengdan, the Eighth Divine Son can introduce his best friend in this way in front of the Water God.

Listen carefully, Water God Fukaros. Standing before you is Inazuma Narukami, the supreme ruler of the Shogunate, the one who seeks the lonely path of eternity and the true owner of Richard's first kiss—the Shadow.

After saying that, I felt like I had already won in terms of sheer force!

Chapter 148 Servant's Night Raid on Furina

Kage agreed to all of Yae no Miko's requests, including but not limited to recounting how Kage cleverly gave away her first kiss, how they started a secret relationship without being discovered, and the long-awaited shopping trip with her best friend.

The first two issues are easy to resolve, but there's still a small problem with the shopping trip.

That was the shadow of a god, who had no Mora at all.

This is actually the current situation for most gods in Teyvat: you are either a god or you possess Mora.

However, this was just a minor issue. Ying didn't need to ask her boyfriend Richard for living expenses. The generous editor-in-chief of Yaedo paid Ying a considerable endorsement fee, allowing her to authorize and certify one of Yaedo's bestselling light novels.

After all, Yaedo's latest serialized bestseller, "Reincarnated as the Thunder General, and Then Invincible Under Heaven," actually infringes on the copyright of the film.

Although Raiden is not the same as the film, Raiden is a work of the film, so it is not wrong to say that it is a copyright issue.

This wave, this wave, is taking from the divine child and using it for the divine child.

Incidentally, this book, "Reincarnated as Lei Jun," actually has a sister book called "Please, My Fox Fairy Palace Master." Although it's not by the same author, the flavor is quite similar.

Just from the name, you can probably tell who the protagonist of this story, Yae Masako, is based on.

There is no doubt that Yae no Miko is behind these two of Yae no Miko's best-selling light novels. Without Yae no Miko's approval, these two books would not only fail to become best-selling light novels, but even publication would be a big problem. The author might even be invited to the shogunate for tea.

It's definitely impossible to drink tea. Although these two books are not by the same author, some people speculate that the two authors are actually pseudonyms of Lord Yae no Kamiko.

Even if it wasn't written by Yae no Miko, the outline of the story must have been created by her.

The story's depiction of the daily work of the shrine priest and the Thunder General is so realistic that it doesn't seem fake.

How could an ordinary person possibly know this?

It must be an insider.

What kind of insider could understand both the internal workings of Narukami Taisha and the daily work of Raiden-shogun?

Perhaps the only one who can be a full-fledged indenture is Yae no Miko, who is a member of Narukami's family.

"Have you read the light novel I gave you? What did you think of it?" Yae Miko asked with a smile.

"Interesting. Did you write this?" Shadow wasn't angry that someone else in the light novel reincarnated as her. Well, the one reincarnated in the book wasn't herself either; it was the Thunder General.

You're calling for General Thunder, what does that have to do with my Thunder Movie?
