More than a year ago, humanity was burned down, "Mother" also had problems, and then Uruk became a singularity.

Of course, the big event I'm referring to isn't this one, but rather something that happened not long ago.

Two young girls barged into Uruk, and then the golden, aloof, and arrogant king was beaten!

I heard it's because they were unwilling to submit.

That's terrifying! They actually managed to make that king submit!?

I don't know what happened after that, but I know what became of my allies—

The three of us made a pact to form a Three Goddess Alliance and watch over each other (big lie~), and then that girl made her move!

His move was extraordinary; all three of them were finished!

What? Why the three of them? Because there's also that annoying Ishtar. Three goddesses isn't too much to ask, is it?

Fortunately, he hid in the underworld and didn't use that body, and then Ishtar took the blame for him.

My dearest sister, this time it's your turn to go to hell. I will miss you.

puff~

No, you can't cry! It's bad for your health to be too sad!

puff puff~

Mother, please bless me with a new little sister to comfort my wounded heart!

Hmm? Is there a place that's summoning heroic spirits?

That aura?

It's a "younger sister"!

A gentle "younger sister"!

boom--!

"Ereshkigal, I've come to play with you~"

A strange voice echoed in the underworld, along with the voice of a bratty little sister.

"Master, this way, please come this way, the gloomy woman is right here!"

Pah! You brat!

Without a second thought, Ereshkigal responded to the summons, following the connection she felt.

In the basement of the Matou family's house, the summoning circle lit up again, and the wind began to blow once more.

A lithe young woman wielding a twisted spear emerged from the magic circle. "Servant Lancer Ereshkigal, summoned here. Are you my master? (in a low voice) Is that what you say?"

Seeing Eresh emerge from the magic circle, Sakura narrowed her eyes, then suddenly ran over with a smile, "Sister!"

"Eh!? What are you calling for!?" Ereshkigal looked at Sakura, who was hugging her, completely bewildered.

“My sister looks just like my sister, no, my sister is definitely my sister, right?” Sakura looked at Ereshkigal expectantly. “I haven’t seen my sister since Father and Mother sent her away…”

"I……"

Ai Lei was taken aback. Sister? Send her away?

After a moment's thought, Ai Lei understood. This must be the younger sister of her medium, so calling her "older sister" was fine. What a sweet and obedient younger sister!

Moreover, they were sent away...

Eresh lowered her flustered hands and gently hugged Sakura. "Don't worry, sister... sister won't send you away..."

From the time she could remember, she had been in the underworld, spending countless years day after day in that underworld where there wasn't a single living being.

All of this is because the world needs a cornerstone, a goddess sent to the underworld.

Ishtar, the goddess who was one with her, was indeed the beloved mistress of heaven, forgivable for any wrongdoing she committed.

And what about herself? To put it nicely, she's the mistress of the land, but in reality, she's just a prisoner, an unwanted existence.

She understood all too well what it felt like to be sent away and ignored...

Zhong Gui: "Ahem, could this goddess please move aside? We still need to summon heroic spirits."

"Huh? Oh, I'll move aside right away." With that, Ereshkigal was about to pull Sakura away from the magic circle when she suddenly paused, quickly straightening up and adopting a very tactful demeanor. "Ahem, mortals, how can you speak to a goddess like that!"

Oh no, what should I do? Is this too serious? Will it scare people?

The goddess looked at the slightly nervous Ereshkigal, covered her mouth and chuckled softly. Perhaps this child could be fooled…

The divine child stepped forward and respectfully gestured with his hand to Zhong Gui, "Your Highness, this is the head of the seven gods of Teyvat, the second Rock King, the Lord of the Immortals, the God of Contracts, the God of Wealth, the God of War, the God of Commerce, and the God of History. May I ask, what kind of god are you, goddess?"

The Divine Child was not lying; the Rock God was indeed the nominal head of the Seven Gods. Of course, no god would obey the orders of all the heads of the Seven Gods; to put it bluntly, he was just a host qualified to hold a banquet.

Zhongli is the ancestor of all immortals, while Zhonggui is not, so he is somewhat different in this respect.

Ereshkigal: "!!!"

What should I do? The other person is a god too. Was I too rude just now?

The other party is addressed as an Eastern deity, the Rock King? Is he a god-king? But why does the rest sound a bit Westernized? What is Teyvat?

What would you like to say, Ellie-chan?

Ai Lei was a little dazed for a moment; the aftereffects of not having communicated with anyone were beginning to show.

0 ····Requesting flowers···· ·······

"Alright." Zhong Gui stopped the Divine Child from continuing her plan. "Ereshkigal, can you come out now? We still need to summon the Heroic Spirits."

"Oh. Wait! Ereshkigal? You rude wretch!" Ereshkigal retorted angrily, her face flushed red. "Even if you're some kind of God-King, you can't address me like that!"

pop~

Zhong Gui placed his hand on Ai Lei's head, whose hair had turned red. A rich and heavy earthy aura emanated from her, and Ai Lei, who had always lived in the underworld, felt a sense of peace.

"you you……"

Zhong Gui rubbed her head, saying it was similar to that of little Lin.

"Then, to express my apology, I'll give you a gift."

A glass lily appeared at Zhong Gui's fingertips. "This is a flower from Liyue, given to you. They will grow exceptionally lush when accompanied by beautiful songs; but when near mourning and strife, they will become weak, withered, or even turn yellow."

.... ........ 0

Ai Lei stopped in her tracks as she was about to take the flower; the underworld was not a place where flowers could grow.

"Don't worry, the earth's embrace will always bless it, and it will bloom wherever there is soil."

"In Liyue, it is also a symbol of friendship and a manifestation of the great bond between the two gods."

In the end, Ereshkigal accepted the glass lily, and in her hands, which were imbued with the aura of the underworld, the flower continued to bloom.

She slowly became obsessed...

Sakura: “???”

……

"I quit!!!" After one of the souls was taken away, Hu Tao lay on the large table and began to roll around.

"My God, please calm down. We haven't finished today's work yet," said Yama, the Queen of Hell, calmly. At the same time, she temporarily prevented new ghosts from entering, as gods still needed to maintain a certain level of dignity.

"But didn't I bring you here? Why am I still working?"

Hu Tao sat cross-legged on the long table and said.

"And look, you're losing hair." Hu Tao reached out and took off Shiki Eiki's crown, which had several green hairs on it.

"Hey? Your hat is pretty fun." Ignoring the few stray hairs, Hu Tao put the hat on her Qiankun Tai Gua hat. "Hmm, it's a bit heavy..."

Chapter 249 BB: You wait! I'll be back!

"Are you learning from Sakura?" Jian Shenzi asked as she walked towards the magic circle bell.

"Hehe, I think I should be able to summon some decent Heroic Spirits with my abilities."

The divine child stood in the center of the magic circle, confidently raising one hand, just like Sakura.

Seeing this, Zhong Gui wore a smug expression, walked over to Ai Lei, and picked up Xiao Ying, whose hand she was holding.

Ai Lei kept staring at the glass lily, completely unaware that her "sister" was no longer alive.

Sakura: "..."

I thought she would protect me, but it seems I was overthinking it.

In this cold society, only this embrace brings warmth...

Xiaoying pouted and nestled in Zhong Gui's arms.

"Sakura, keep an eye on this older sister~" Zhong Gui whispered.

"Big brother, what's wrong with sister?"

"She's about to summon a Heroic Spirit."

Sakura couldn't understand what there was to watch out for, but then she seemed to think of something, and her eyes lit up as she looked at Yae no Miko.
