The next day.
To ensure he could act at a moment’s notice, Luo Qing stopped concerning himself with the fate of the captured samurai and summoned his four subordinates back to Inazuma City.
Early that morning, Luo Qing woke to find Rosalyne’s door wide open and her room empty. It was clear—she had already left to meet the Raiden Shogun.
Acting quickly, he gathered his su...

Thanks to the commotion he had caused at Tatarasuna, he had managed to accumulate enough “Frustration Points” over the past few days for another round of draws—ninety pulls, to be precise.

“You knew he would…”
Lumine furrowed her brow slightly, a realization dawning on her.

Still, teasing that little fellow might be entertaining.
"Alright then. Since you’re a valued guest of the Yae Publishing House, I'll do you the favor," she said with a playful smirk.
"One pill?!"
Lumine stared at the dirt-clod-looking object in Luo Qing's hand, thinking, Can you even call that thing a pill?
Charging her a hundred thousand Mora for it seemed a bit excessive.
"Just one bite, and any injury will be healed instantly! Special discount today, only a hundred thousand Mora. So, what do you think? Want to buy one?"
