Y/N takes a good look at the mirror before turning their head towards the wonderful view of Inazuma. Currently Y/N resides with the Shogun in Tenshukaku. Y/N is the noble adviser of the shogun, however the past few years Y/N's inactivity caused the Shogun's rash decisions to be placed on.
                          
Not even the lover of the Electro Archon can do something to stop the vision hunt decree, therefore...they fled and locked themselves up in a deep sleep only to be awakened by an unknown traveler.
                          
The door slides open as the electro archon walks inside. 
                          
"It is good to see you back at one piece Y/N." Ei speaks with a soft tone. "I came to personally see you and apologize."
                          
"Shogun there is no need for apologies." Y/N smiles. "If anything It is I whom failed and fled away."
                          
"No...You are correct along with Miko. I should've listened to you all and changed the way I persuit eternity." Ei sighs. "It is.... Who've made a grave mistake."
                          
"Mistake.....Yes we all make them." Y/N frowns a bit. "But we learn."
                          
"I am the shogun, I must not create such rash decisions, If I listened to you the first ti—---"
                          
Y/N pulls Ei for a hug which stunned Ei, although it was uncalled for Ei immediately hugs back, after all she has not felt this exact type of hug for years. She then pulls Y/N closer as Ei buried her face on their shoulder.
                          
"You're still the same as ever, tender and calm....You always knew how to handle the situation." Ei mutters. "Will...you ever leave me again?"
                          
Y/N swallows hard before opening their mouth. They tapped Ei's back to comfort her, they pulled away from Ei as they flicked Ei's forehead.
                          
"I'm not as strong as you, but I'll try my best to stick to you." Y/N laughs. "For as long as I walk in the same path, I will always be the pillar of support that you need Ei."
                          
"When you say that....It makes me sad." Ei admits. "You always said that to me, and yet...I feel that each time you support me the more I cause harm to you."
                          
Y/N laughs briefly before shaking their head. They then kissed the back of Ei's hand to signify their sincerity. Ei felt their cheeks blush from madness. She always knew Y/N's loyalty and love for her, but today they are more touchy....than usual.
                          
"Almighty Shogun, as you know I've recently just woken up therefore my first suggestion is for you to take a break from here and come with me."
                          
"And where will you take me?" 
                          
"The royal hot springs, I'd like to spend some time with you there just like we did before!" Y/N beams. "Wait...Is your body even waterproof?"
                          
"Of course it is, It's not a robotic mechanism Y/N." Ei facepalms. "It's a puppet."
                          
"That's almost the same thing." Y/N rolls their eyes sarcastically. "You literally programmed this, that's alnost similar to the mechanisms that the Hydro archon shows us."
                          
"Don't you dare compare my work to hers." Ei glares. 
                          
"I'm sorry." Y/N apologizes. "So...Do you want to join me at the royal hot springs?" 
                          
"O-Of course, but w-will it not seem weird?" Ei asked looking away.
                          
"You're acting as if I haven't seen anything before." Y/N laughs. "You and I always went to hot springs before."
                          
"It's been a while, okay?!" Ei loudly protests. "Fine, give me some time to prepare and I will join you at the royal hot springs."
                          
"Very well, I'll see you there Ei."
                          
"O-Okay." Ei blushes while looking away. 
                          
After some moment later, Y/N arrives at the royal hotspring. They slowly took their robe off to dip themselves into the heated water. The water is super relaxing plus the sound it made is pleasing to the ears. Y/N then leans their head onto the edge of the tub making sure that they are well rested.
                          
Ei on the other hand just entered the royal hotspring. It was quite awkward for her since she hasn't done this in years, but there is nothing to hid after all, It's not like Y/N is a pervert. Y/N is respectful towards her, and they'd never comment anything about Ei in that matter.
                          
"Y/N, I'm here—--Oh...You seem to have fell asleep." Ei realizes that Y/N was closing their eyes.
                          
Ei then took this opportunity to take her robe off and submerge herself onto the heated water. 
                          
"No wonder you like it here. I forgot how relaxing this was." Ei giggles. "How many years has it been?"
                          
"I can't remember." Y/N answers as they opened their eyes slowly.
                          
"Right, It has been long. Let's have some catching up session then."
                          
"Oh alright." Y/N nods. 
                          
Ei told the entire stories that Y/N missed out and somehow during the storytelling however during this time it seems as if Y/N missed a lot of things. Seems that Miko was the right person to convince Ei otherwise, but somehow Y/N wished that they were there for Ei too.
                          
"Ei." Y/N smiles. "I'm glad you are back in track."
                          
"I have always been rethinking my path towards Eternity, and It reminded me of you at the same time."
                          
"I disliked it when you declared the vision hunt decree, but I had no choice but to follow along. You are the Shogun, and I was an attendant." 
                          
"You were my adviser and my secret lover for the longest time, only Miko knew about us." Ei laughs. "I think it's time I introduced you properly to the new people of this era."
                          
"I am sure that would be great since It seems I missed out on a lot of things." Y/N laughs as well. "But even though I missed out on a lot of things—----You are still radiating the beauty and fierceness of the thunder." 
                          
"S-Stop it." Ei looks away. "With all that sweetness you'll give me cavities."
                          
"Isn't that what you like? Desserts?" Y/N smirks. "Am I not sweet enough for you?" 
                          
"You are!" Ei declares as she puffs her cheeks. 
                          
"Ei." Y/N calls out. "I forgot to tell you something."
                          
"Yes?" Ei tilts her head.
                          
"I love you." Y/N smiles while closing their eyes as they formed a heart with their fingers.
                          
Ei then dips herself under the water blushing madly. She couldn't understand why Y/N is so cute, gentle, but with a mix of mischievousness! Ei really bagged the right person.
