When it comes to dealing with a yandere, the best approach is a direct strike.
And when the yandere in question is someone like the Raiden Shogun, whose combat prowess is off the charts, you have to make your move before she pulls out the sword—go all in until she has no desire left to stab you.
The intense battle had come to a halt, and the night around Seirai Island turned silent once more. Only the sound of deep, passionate kisses could be heard beneath the pale-pink sakura tree, where Luo Qing and the Raiden Shogun were locked in an embrace.
At first, the Raiden Shogun resisted, even contemplating biting Luo Qing’s tongue off.
But Luo Qing, who had strategically started with kisses on her neck, then moved to her collarbone, and finally traced the line of her ear, was relentless.
By the time their lips finally met, the effects of his Emotion Cards had long since worn off. Yet, she no longer had the will to resist.
In other words, Luo Qing had effectively… seduced her into compliance.
…
Meanwhile, Inside the Plane of Euthymia
Feeling the sensation that echoed in her mind, Ei’s brow furrowed, and her grip on the light novel in her hands tightened, almost crushing the book.
They’d agreed to slice Luo Qing seventeen times and properly discipline him.
So why was her puppet now completely derailed after just one kiss?
It seemed like she’d have to intervene herself!
When Luo Qing entered the Plane of Euthymia next, she was determined to teach him a lesson he wouldn’t forget.
…
Much Later
The two of them finally parted, both catching their breaths.
The Raiden Shogun’s face was flushed, and she sat on the grass in a duck-like pose, still unsatisfied despite everything. Luo Qing, meanwhile, was almost dizzy with fatigue—his tongue practically numb from overuse.
Yet, the Raiden Shogun seemed unaffected, her inhuman endurance only highlighting the differences between a puppet and a human.
Looking at her, eyes shimmering with adoration, Luo Qing couldn’t help but be amazed.
Thank goodness her affection levels weren’t high enough yet—otherwise, their battle wouldn’t have been confined to mere kisses. If they ever hit an affection level of ninety, he might actually end up dead in bed!
Nervously, Luo Qing pulled up the interface for both the Raiden Shogun and Ei’s affection levels. He noted that the Raiden Shogun’s affection was now at 65, while Ei’s was at 55.
That was fast…
Luo Qing swallowed. It seemed kissing truly was the fastest way to raise a girl’s affection! They’d only shared a few moments together, and already, the affection levels had skyrocketed.
If they kissed a few more times…
Recalling the desperate look the Raiden Shogun had given him moments ago, Luo Qing glanced down at his midsection with a sense of impending doom.
“Alright, Shogun, now that we’re… calm, can you tell me why you tried to slice me up?”
Luo Qing sat across from her, arms crossed, his tone soft.
“Was it just because Ayaka hugged me today?”
“Isn’t that reason enough…?”
The Raiden Shogun’s voice was small, and she couldn’t meet his eyes.
Her furious yandere aura had faded, leaving behind the image of a gentle and somewhat shy wife.
“But she was the one who hugged me!”
Luo Qing protested, bewildered.
“Why didn’t you go after Ayaka instead of chasing me down? What if she was the one who seduced me?”
“…”
【Raiden Shogun’s Frustration Value +1】
【Ei’s Frustration Value +1】
“You definitely made the first move!”
The Raiden Shogun’s tone was firm.
“And besides, the Kamisato Clan has served the Shogunate for generations. There’s no reason to draw swords over such a minor incident.”
“…”
Now it was Luo Qing’s turn to be speechless.
So for Ayaka, it was a small matter, not worth pursuing, but for him, it was unforgivable—a reason to slash him seventeen times?
If they ever witnessed something more provocative, would they chop his head off and keep it as a trophy?
What kind of yandere mother-daughter duo is this…
“Are you… still mad?”
Luo Qing asked cautiously.
“Um…”
The Raiden Shogun hesitated.
To be fair, after that heated exchange, she did feel a lot better…
“Not as much as before…”
“…”
Watching her shy, blushing expression, Luo Qing had mixed feelings.
Crap… is she secretly an M too?
“It’s getting late,”
Luo Qing said, standing up and glancing back toward Inazuma City.
“Shogun, you wouldn’t mind if I stayed over tonight, right?”
“Huh?”
The Raiden Shogun froze for a moment. Her face turned crimson, and she hurriedly lowered her gaze.
“T-That sort of thing… my body… isn’t…”
“What are you thinking? I just need a place to sleep, that’s all.”
Going back now meant Rosalyne would undoubtedly bombard him with endless questions.
And after that intense chase with the Shogun, all Luo Qing wanted was to get a good night’s sleep.
“Oh… alright…”
The Raiden Shogun exhaled softly, standing up. She raised a hand, and the sword that had been stuck in the ground returned to her grip. With a single slash, she tore open a crack in space, a shimmering purple rift appearing.
“That… leads to the Tenshukaku?”
Luo Qing asked, surprised.
“Yes…”
She nodded, gesturing for him to enter.
Luo Qing eyed the glowing rift, thinking to himself that this mother-daughter duo really had some impressive abilities. This spatial teleportation was leagues better than his toilet portal.
Why did his system always give him such oddball tools?
A few seconds later, they stepped through the rift, emerging inside the Tenshukaku.
Luo Qing, without hesitation, sprawled across the familiar tatami mat where the Raiden Shogun usually meditated.
Exhaustion washed over him, and he shut his eyes. But within seconds of dozing off, he felt a piercing gaze on him. Opening his eyes, he turned to find the Raiden Shogun kneeling beside him, staring intently.
“You don’t need to sleep?”
“This body is but a puppet. I don’t require mortal rest to restore my spirit.”
“…”
“Are you just going to… watch me all night?”
“Um…”
The Raiden Shogun hesitated, deep in thought, before shuffling to the top of the mat. She gently patted her lap, her voice tender.
“You could… rest here.”
“…”
Luo Qing swallowed nervously.
He recalled the earlier chase when she’d tried to stab him in the gut. Lying down now seemed… risky. Who knew if she might suddenly draw a knife and stab him from behind?
Sensing his hesitation, the Raiden Shogun blushed slightly. She averted her gaze, avoiding eye contact.
“I… won’t harm you anymore. You can trust me.”
“Really?”
“R-Really.”
“…”
“Well, alright then…”
After weighing his options, Luo Qing slowly lay down, resting his head in her lap.
The familiar softness of her thighs, the scent of sakura and the sea mixed with a hint of sweetness—it was all too familiar.
Sleep overtook him swiftly, and he stopped worrying about what the Raiden Shogun might do.
Slowly, he drifted off into a deep, undisturbed sleep.
