The Raiden Shogun leaned back slightly, kneeling on the tatami mat.
Her deep purple stockings exposed a glimpse of pale, soft skin—delicate and smooth.
"Well then, I won't hold back~"
Luo Qing chuckled lightly as he leaned back against the Raiden Shogun and slowly lay down.
The next moment, the back of his head met a warm, soft sensation—it was like the best pillow in the world.
"Mmm... Ah..."
The thighs were a sensitive area for any girl, and this was the first time the Raiden Shogun had been touched in such a forbidden, sensitive place by a man. The moment Luo Qing settled in, she couldn't suppress a light moan.
Even though she was a puppet of the God of Thunder, right now, she felt a shudder run through her entire body as if electrified.
"Ah, this is nice..."
Luo Qing closed his eyes and let out a heartfelt sigh.
There was no denying it—a lap pillow was pure bliss.
Sensing eyes on him, Luo Qing opened his own to find the Raiden Shogun looking down at him, her face tinged with a rosy blush.
Caught in the act, she quickly averted her gaze, pretending to admire the scenery around them.
Her shy and flustered expression was worlds apart from the cold and aloof General she usually presented.
"Hey, General, while I had my eyes closed, were you peeking at me just now~?"
Luo Qing teased with a playful grin.
"I..."
The Raiden Shogun glanced away, the blush on her face deepening.
"So, General, can you look at me when you talk?"
"This..."
"Hm?"
"Alright..."
The Raiden Shogun's body was stiff as she slowly lowered her head, meeting Luo Qing's gaze.
At that moment, their eyes locked—her heartbeat quickened, filled with a growing desire.
I want...
...
After lying there for a while.
Seeing that the Raiden Shogun was comfortable with providing a lap pillow, Luo Qing decided it was time to push things further.
After savoring the warmth of her lap for a little longer, he sat up and patted his own thigh.
"Well then, it's my turn to give you a lap pillow now, General~"
"Eh...?!"
The Raiden Shogun looked shocked, glancing at his lap before swallowing nervously.
She had managed Inazuma in place of Ei for centuries, but never before had she experienced such a turbulent surge of emotions.
"Come on, don't be shy~"
Luo Qing patted his thigh again.
He could only enjoy lying down passively, but if she lay down... she'd be entirely at his mercy.
"Mhm..."
With a slightly stiff movement, the Raiden Shogun nodded.
Her body tense, she slowly lay down. From the moment she was created until now, she had never given or received a lap pillow.
As she touched Luo Qing's thigh, her heart raced, and a warmth spread throughout her body.
Luo Qing's thigh wasn't as soft as a woman's, a bit firmer—a poor pillow choice, perhaps.
But as a position...
"A little higher."
"Mhm..."
Following Luo Qing's instructions, the Raiden Shogun adjusted herself, resting her head higher on his thigh.
She had barely settled when, without warning, Luo Qing's hands cupped her cheeks, his fingers gently tracing her soft, pale skin.
"What are you..."
"Shh~ Don't speak~"
"Mmm..."
Luo Qing looked down at the Raiden Shogun, their eyes meeting once again.
But she couldn't hold his gaze for more than a second, immediately looking away, her embarrassment clear.
Ah... that sweet shyness...
Seeing the Raiden Shogun's reaction, Luo Qing's mind began to race.
Physical intimacy between couples usually progresses from light to deep, and since she didn't seem to mind the lap pillow, he considered testing the next step.
After a moment's thought, he held her cheeks firmly, ensuring she couldn't turn away.
Their eyes met once more, and a silent understanding seemed to pass between them.
There's a chance!
Excitement welled up in Luo Qing's chest. He swallowed hard and slowly lowered his head.
Their faces drew closer, and their breaths mingled as they were about to touch.
But just as they were about to kiss, the Raiden Shogun's expression suddenly changed.
She swiftly pulled away from Luo Qing's embrace, a mix of shame and anger flashing in her eyes.
Before he could react, she slapped him hard across the face and retreated several paces, clutching her chest to prevent her robe from slipping off her shoulders.
Luo Qing had tried to undress her without her noticing!
The knot of her sash had almost been untied. Had she not reacted quickly, he might have succeeded.
"You're too much, trying to undress me...!"
The Raiden Shogun glared at Luo Qing, her eyes burning with both fury and embarrassment.
"Ahem... I didn't mean to... It's just a force of habit..."
"A habit?"
"Ahem, well, I'm very skilled at... removing clothes..."
Luo Qing looked a bit sheepish. He wasn't sure why he did it either.
They were supposed to test out a simple kiss, but before he knew it, his hands had slipped to the knot at her back.
I've never undressed a girl in a kimono before...
Why did it feel so familiar?
"..."
[Frustration Value +1 from the Raiden Shogun]
"Leave now."
The Raiden Shogun readjusted her sash and pulled her collar up, turning her back to Luo Qing.
Her purpose was to govern Inazuma, not to engage in this flirtatious behavior with Luo Qing.
If she didn't use her anger now to drive him away, she knew she'd soon be too weak to resist. Then, she'd never be able to leave Tenshukaku, abandoning her responsibilities.
After all, someone was still watching her from the Plane of Euthymia.
"Oh? Sending me away so soon, General~?"
Luo Qing crossed his arms and teased, "Could it be that you can't bear to see me go~?"
"I'm only granting your wish to leave," she murmured, her voice barely above a whisper, still facing away from him.
She couldn't afford to look at him—not now. If she did, she feared her resolve would crumble entirely.
"Alright then, I'll come visit you next time, General~"
Luo Qing gave a lighthearted smile, then turned and leapt from the balcony, heading towards Hanamizaka.
He had stayed in Tenshukaku long enough. While the affection cards had raised the Shogun's and Ei's goodwill to a level where physical contact was possible, he still had concerns.
He wouldn't act recklessly with forced affection while he wasn't strong enough to definitively control both the Shogun and Ei.
Like just now—trying to undress the Raiden Shogun. No one knew if she was wearing anything underneath. If she hadn't been, it might have ended in a lot more than a slap.
After Luo Qing left.
The Raiden Shogun returned to her high seat, glancing briefly at the balcony to confirm that he was truly gone.
A strange sense of loss welled up in her heart.
