Seeing Yuuko agree, Yae Miko felt relieved.
Afterward, Yae Miko continued to eat her meal with a clear conscience.
Thus, the atmosphere of this dinner was quite harmonious.
After a hearty meal, all the dishes on the table were empty, not a single bit left.
Even the bowls of fruit and fresh Milk dessert prepared were almost entirely consumed by Raiden Ei alone.
Looking at the empty plates on the table, Raiden Ei showed an extremely comfortable expression and sighed:
"I never would have thought that ordinary fruit, when cut into pieces and combined with Milk, could be so delicious."
Raiden Ei smiled and looked at Yuuko:
"That dango milk before also seemed to be invented based on your idea, didn't it? You've really created many interesting dishes."
Seeing Raiden Ei's satisfied look, Yuuko smiled, "I'm glad you like it."
Raiden Ei again showed a relaxed expression and smiled gently:
"Indeed, every time I come here, my soul receives considerable solace. Your cooking always makes one feel very relaxed."
Yuuko chuckled and no longer feigned modesty, "Haha, I'm also very happy to be praised."
The atmosphere between the two was slightly warm.
Yae Miko, who was watching from the side, also noticed this unusual atmosphere.
She quickly stepped forward, standing between the two.
She cleared her throat:
"Hmm, Yuuko's cooking skills are indeed top-notch, but I discovered them first."
These words were like an assertion of sovereignty... Raiden Ei also showed a puzzled look, seemingly not understanding why Yae Miko suddenly spoke such words.
But after thinking about it and still not understanding, she shook her head and stopped thinking further.
Afterward, Raiden Ei again turned her gaze to the Tsaritsa, Empress of Snezhnaya:
"Archon of Snezhnaya, for future cooperation, I would like to ask, what do you think of Inazuma's current state?"
The Tsaritsa, Empress of Snezhnaya's expression remained unchanged, and she responded almost without thinking:
"In my opinion, Inazuma is a nation with great potential for development."
High EQ: Great potential for development.
Low EQ: Your country is truly backward.
After hearing the Tsaritsa, Empress of Snezhnaya's words, Raiden Ei pondered for a long time, then nodded:
"Is that so? It seems there are still many matters to discuss in the future."
The Tsaritsa, Empress of Snezhnaya crossed her arms, secretly glanced at Yuuko, and then said, "Indeed."
At this moment, Yae Miko again felt a trace of unease and asked uncertainly:
"Are you planning to discuss things here for many more days?"
Raiden Ei nodded, then cast an inquiring look, "Does Miko not want to?"
Yae Miko's expression stiffened, but after pondering for a long time, she sighed helplessly, "No, please feel free..."
Although she was very unwilling internally.
But considering the major matter of cooperation with Snezhnaya that was about to be reached.
Even a scum woman like Yae Miko would try her best to endure for a while.
At this moment, Yuuko suddenly raised his little hand, "Um, shouldn't these questions be asked of me?"
Raiden Ei was slightly startled, only then realizing she had let something slip. Although her expression remained unchanged, her eyes had already begun to wander slightly.
Just as Raiden Ei was still frantically thinking about how to gloss over it.
The experienced Yae Miko stepped forward, smiling unhurriedly:
"Yuuko, don't mind these details."
After speaking, she casually changed the subject:
"Oh right, it's getting late. Everyone should head back, right? After all, Yuuko is usually quite busy, and it's not good to keep bothering him."
After speaking, Yae Miko intentionally or unintentionally cast her gaze on the Tsaritsa, Empress of Snezhnaya.
Yae Miko's goal now was to drive away the Tsaritsa, Empress of Snezhnaya and Raiden Ei.
Then she could implement her bold plan!
The Tsaritsa, Empress of Snezhnaya's expression was somewhat displeased, clearly unhappy with Yae Miko's attempt to rush them away.
Are you kidding me!
She was, after all, the Archon of Snezhnaya, a revered deity!
Why should she be bullied everywhere after coming to Inazuma?
The Tsaritsa, Empress of Snezhnaya said in a deep voice:
"I just want to rest for a moment. Beelzebul's familiar, isn't it too much for you to rush me away like this...?"
Before she could finish speaking, the Tsaritsa, Empress of Snezhnaya caught sight of Yuuko's glaring eyes.
Her delicate body immediately trembled.
She immediately changed her words: "Hmm... Today's gains are sufficient, and all the matters that needed discussing have been discussed. It is indeed time to leave."
After speaking, the Tsaritsa, Empress of Snezhnaya stood up without changing her expression and patted herself down.
Then she quickly left... Seeing the Tsaritsa, Empress of Snezhnaya leave, Yae Miko breathed a sigh of relief.
Her biggest worry was not being able to drive away that wretched woman.
After all, she was the Archon of Snezhnaya, and Inazuma and Snezhnaya were about to embark on a huge collaboration.
To be honest, Yae Miko really couldn't openly tell her to leave.
Now that the Tsaritsa, Empress of Snezhnaya had left, only Raiden Ei remained... So, Yae Miko turned her gaze to Raiden Ei:
"Ei, since we've eaten and drunk our fill, shouldn't we head back now?"
Raiden Ei pondered, her face showing a hint of reluctance, but she still nodded, "Indeed, it's getting late."
After speaking, Raiden Ei stood up and bowed slightly to Yuuko:
"Then, I shall take my leave. Thank you again for today's hospitality."
Yuuko smiled and waved his hand, "It's nothing, I'm happy when the house is lively anyway."
This scene once again made Yae Miko frown slightly.
She always felt that Raiden Ei's attitude towards Yuuko was too gentle now... When had Ei, that country bumpkin, ever been so gentle to an ordinary person?
Yae Miko, feeling a premonition of something bad, hurriedly pushed Raiden Ei, intending to send her off quickly.
"Hehe, see you next time, Yuuko~"
Before leaving, Yae Miko left such a meaningful sentence, then forcefully pulled Raiden Ei away... After leaving the house, Yae Miko chatted casually with Raiden Ei, walking alongside her.
Seizing the rare opportunity, Yae Miko couldn't help but ask Raiden Ei:
"Ei, you've really changed a lot recently..."
Raiden Ei raised an eyebrow and retorted, "What makes you say that?"
Yae Miko spread her hands helplessly:
"You used to never show such gentle eyes, not even to me."
"But now, with Yuuko..."
"Sigh, sometimes I really don't know whether to envy you or Yuuko..."
Hearing this, Raiden Ei fell into thought, clearly only realizing this point after Yae Miko's reminder.
Yes, thinking back now, she had indeed shown unprecedented gentleness towards Yuuko.
Was she... treating Yuuko as if he were Makoto?
Raiden Ei couldn't help but ponder this.
However, Raiden Ei couldn't figure out why she was like this for the time being.
After a long while, she shook her head:
"Since I've decided to bear the will of the people and lead Inazuma onto a new path, it's normal for my attitude towards the people to improve, isn't it?"
Yae Miko said with a strange expression:
"No... this is completely abnormal... Ei, you would never treat anyone else the way you treat Yuuko..."
