Chapter 250

Kamisato Ayaka's head was spinning, and, by some mistake, she reached out her hand and caught the teacup in front of her.

After holding the teacup for a few seconds, she looked at Master Tenri helplessly, her voice trembling with embarrassment: "Oh my... Master Tenri... that..."

Oops, why did she grab it just now by some strange coincidence?

How should she handle this now?

Kamisato Ayaka felt her cheeks flush with heat.

Takumi listened to their exchange, chuckling. It was really amusing. They clearly admired each other deeply, but acted shy and reserved, holding back their emotions.

"What are you waiting for? Come over and have dinner together," Takumi urged.

As the eldest daughter raised under strict etiquette, Kamisato Ayaka wasn't very comfortable refusing, especially given her immersion in Inazuma's customs. She said in a strange tone, "Well... if you insist, Master Tenri."

The Butterfly sisters served at the table carefully, tasting the dishes Raiden had prepared. Raiden was clearly delighted. Her guess was correct—Master Tenri had a liking for beautiful company. She quickly offered him a few pieces with her chopsticks.

Takumi gently pinched the soft skin at Raiden's waist and said, "You are so considerate, and I can't say I hate it. You'll see later."

As if struck by a sudden electric current, Raiden responded meekly, "Master Tenri may punish me as he pleases."

As someone who knew what lay ahead, she understood that after the banquet, she would be 'devoured' by Master Tenri. Her violet eyes were warm and full of anticipation.

However, she was slightly annoyed by her sister, who was oblivious to the deeper implications of the conversation. Ying seemed truly clueless about anything outside of martial arts and discipline.

But no matter what Master Tenri desired, it seemed likely he would take Ying as well.

After the banquet concluded, Takumi opened the door to the courtyard of Sky Island.

The 'courtyard' that appeared before everyone looked like a world from a fairy tale, with laughter echoing across the space like music from a distant town.

Klee, seeing so many children her age, ran over happily. As a natural extrovert, she quickly joined in, playing games and laughing with everyone.

Buyer sensed Takumi's return and greeted him eagerly, "My lord, you're back." She exuded a gentle warmth.

Noticing Raiden, the Butterfly Sisters, Alice, and Kamisato Ayaka behind Takumi, she asked softly, "My lord, are you planning to 'partake' in Baal and Beelzebul today, as well as the two sisters who have just arrived in this world, along with Ms. Alice and Lady Kamisato?"

As a god in charge of "the memory of the world," she couldn't perceive the traces of heavenly principles but could glimpse memories from others. She had foreseen Takumi's desires regarding these sisters today and rushed to welcome them.

In fact, she was the first deity to have a relationship with Takumi, yet he had not 'devoured' her.

Lei Qingqiu was confused. She still did not understand why Master Tenri had brought them to the 'courtyard,' but hearing Buyer address Tenri as 'husband' left her bewildered.

Lost in thought, she seemed to grasp something from her sister's actions.

Raiden had already guessed the nature of the relationship between Buyer and Tenri, but she hadn't expected Buyer to be the 'mistress.' Master Tenri clearly held her in high regard...

After all, he took the little Lucky Grass King everywhere they went.

Sensing Buyer's feelings, Takumi smiled, pulling her into his arms. He gave her a gentle smack on the hip, then bit her elfin ear.

"Since that's what you think, I will devour you first."

Buyer's cheeks turned slightly red, but her aura became gentler. "Of course, I will do my best."

To please him, she had intentionally studied the intricacies of romance from the 'World Tree.'

Takumi's golden eyes gleamed. In an instant, the surrounding space shifted, and they found themselves at the temple within the courtyard. It was a 'temple' built as part of the 'courtyard.'

The 'courtyard' itself was inspired by the 'Garden of Eden' from the Bible, and the 'temple' modeled after the palace of 'God.' Anyone familiar with the Bible might easily mistake this place for 'heaven.'

Takumi sat on the 'Throne of Heaven' and pulled Buyer into his arms. Despite being a throne, it was large enough to rival a small palace.

Raiden, the Butterfly Sisters, and the others were well aware of what was about to transpire. Watching Takumi and Buyer, Raiden and Beelzebul, as Archons, remained largely unaffected.

After all, as Archons who had witnessed the rise of human civilization, they had seen countless things across millennia.

It was at that moment that Lei Qingqiu finally understood her sister's unusual behavior: "So, that's what's going on." Her violet eyes reflected what Takumi and Buyer were engaged in.

Raiden turned towards her sister and sighed softly, "You finally understand, silly sister."

In contrast to Raiden's composure, the Butterfly sisters, Kanae and Shinobu, were visibly anxious, their hearts pounding. Despite their mental resilience, human instincts remained hard to overcome.

Kamisato Ayaka was even more overwhelmed, unable to look directly. She covered her eyes with her hands, her neck and ears glowing crimson, her knees inching closer together in embarrassment.

Takumi turned his attention to Raiden, gesturing with his hand. "Ying, come here."

Raiden nodded without hesitation and approached.

Takumi embraced her, resting his head on her shoulder.

Kamisato Ayaka, her face partially hidden, couldn't help but peek between her fingers. Her heart pounded furiously. The general... and Master Tenri...

Like a baby.

Ah! How could she think such things? This was blasphemy against Lord Tenri.

She truly shouldn't.

When Takumi had finished, he looked into Raiden's eyes, which had taken on a different expression.

"Ah, I almost forgot to separate you from Ying," he muttered, glancing at Raiden Makoto.

He then recalled that Raiden Makoto and Raiden Shogun were born from the fragments of "The Archbishop of Life" after the latter was slain by the Nibelungs.

"By the way, the only remaining one among the four shadows in the sky is the 'Ruler of Life.' Perhaps it is time to revive her."

"This way, I could enjoy four times the happiness."
