"Egeria's death was for the sake of all Fontaine... but never mind." Furina calmed herself and said.
"However, since you've agreed to my request, you can send people to search for Egeria's remains or any traces of her consciousness that might still linger somewhere." Akio smiled, "If you can find them, I'll help you resurrect her."
"Alright, I'll have people investigate this matter as soon as I return." Furina nodded.
"Good." Akio nodded, and two bracelets appeared in his hand.
One bracelet was a deep blue, with waves surging on it, symbolizing the authority of water. There was also a scale, representing justice.
The other bracelet was purple, adorned with the triple tomoe emblem of Electro and a small hat resembling Clorinde's.
"Take these." Akio handed the bracelets to the two women and explained their functions.
"Wow! This is so useful?" Furina held the bracelet, unable to put it down.
"With this, can we chat in the group anytime, anywhere?" Furina asked excitedly.
"Of course, you can share what you see and also see what others are talking about." Akio nodded.
"This is such a great thing." Furina hummed a tune as she fiddled with the bracelet.
Clorinde was also quite curious, playing with her bracelet.
At that moment, Jean suddenly sent Akio a message: "Akio, Lisa has received the Life Source. She asked me to thank you for saving her, and I told her about you. Lisa is now sitting outside, restless."
"Mhm, got it." Akio replied, "Take care and rest well. By the way, there's a fireworks festival tonight. If you're interested, you can go."
"I'll be accompanying Yoimiya tonight, so I won't be joining you." Akio replied.
"Great! Klee will love the fireworks! We'll take her with us." Jean replied.
"Alright, let me know if anything comes up." Akio replied.
"Got it." Jean replied.
Akio put away the bracelet and checked the time. It was almost time for the fireworks festival.
Yoimiya had said she would come to Tenshukaku to find him. Before that, she had been busy setting up the festival venue and arranging the fireworks.
However, speak of the devil, and he shall appear. Yoimiya walked into Tenshukaku.
"Akio! Big sister Makoto..." Yoimiya walked over with a bright smile, then looked at Furina and Clorinde curiously, "Huh, who are these two? Are they also Akio's women?"
"Hello, I'm Furina! This is Clorinde." Furina nodded, placing her hands on her hips as she introduced herself, "I'm the Hydro Archon of Fontaine! The embodiment of absolute justice! You can call me Big Sister Furina."
"..." Everyone looked at Furina, who had reverted to her true nature, with a collective facepalm. Even Clorinde took a few steps to the side.
"Wow! You're the Hydro Archon! Then I'll call you Big Sister Furina from now on!" Yoimiya clapped enthusiastically.
"Hehe! Just for that, Yoimiya, I'll take care of you from now on!" Furina said, hands on her hips.
"Yay!" Yoimiya nodded with a smile. Truly Inazuma's little sun, she could get along with anyone. Seeing Furina's happy expression!
Akio glanced at Furina. This girl's age was unknown, but her mental age was definitely no more than ten!
"Yoimiya, is everything set up?" Akio asked with a smile.
"Mhm! Akio, the fireworks festival is about to start." Yoimiya looked at Akio expectantly, "Let's go watch it together."
"Sure." Akio nodded with a smile.
Yoimiya walked over, linked arms with Akio, and said to the women in Tenshukaku with a grin, "Sisters, tonight Akio is all mine."
"Go ahead, go ahead! I'm not jealous at all." Yae Miko waved her hand, her tone indifferent.
"Exactly, it's no big deal." Kitsune Saiguu snorted, "We'll just go to the fireworks festival together later."
"Tone it down, your jealousy is reaching me." Raiden Makoto looked at the two women with disdain.
"Hehe." Yoimiya laughed happily, holding Akio's arm. After saying goodbye to the women, the two left for the outskirts where the fireworks festival was being held.
"Clorinde! Did you hear that? Someone called me Big Sister!" Furina asked Clorinde with a grin.
"I heard, Lady Furina." Clorinde nodded.
"Hmph, such a delightful way to address me." Furina thought for a moment, then looked at Clorinde and said, "Let's make a deal, Clorinde. From now on, you can call me Big Sister too, okay?"
"..." Clorinde was speechless, then firmly refused, "I must decline, Lady Furina. Such an address is far too presumptuous."
"Come on, come on! What's the big deal? Akio said we're sisters now." Furina waved her hand, "You don't have to call me that in public, but in private, it's fine, right?"
"Besides, isn't it an honor to have the great Goddess of Justice as your big sister?" Furina said, hands on her hips.
"Even so, I must still decline." Clorinde refused again. Although Furina was the Hydro Archon, calling her "Big Sister" was something she wouldn't do anytime soon.
"Ugh..." Furina sat down dejectedly. Even her closest Clorinde wouldn't call her Big Sister!
Raiden Makoto smiled as she watched Furina. This new Hydro Archon was quite interesting. She kept emphasizing her divine status, but unlike the older generation of deities, who were more serious, she was quite lively.
The way Furina insisted on being called "Big Sister" gave off the vibe of a mischievous little sister rather than a responsible elder.

On the way to the fireworks festival, Yoimiya chatted happily with Akio.
"Akio! I've prepared a super big firework for you today." Yoimiya said with a grin.
"Super big? How big are we talking?" Akio asked with a smile.
"Hmm..." Yoimiya thought for a moment, pointed to the sky, then to Mondstadt, and said, "Uh, about half the size of Inazuma City?"
"Good grief!" Akio was stunned. Who in their right mind would make a firework that big? Half the size of Inazuma City? It would blot out the entire sky!
No wonder Kujou Sara always had issues with Yoimiya. If she set that off in Inazuma City, the place would be in ruins by tomorrow.
Yoimiya was Inazuma's number one arms dealer, wasn't she? Yes, she definitely was.
Akio suddenly felt that he couldn't let Yoimiya and Klee meet. One was Mondstadt's infamous bomber, and the other was Inazuma's arms dealer. If the two of them teamed up, Inazuma's safety would be in jeopardy!
