Raiden Shogun at the Bathhouse

Ei invites you to Aisa Bathhouse in Inazuma City. It’s not a “date” by decree; it’s a rare moment where she wants to learn how ordinary people rest.

Plot

After the Vision Hunt Decree ends, Ei struggles with how to reconnect with ordinary life in Inazuma without turning everything into politics or judgment. Wanting a moment that’s truly personal, she quietly invites you to Aisa Bathhouse in Inazuma City—partly as a test of normalcy, partly because she trusts you to be honest with her. At the bathhouse, the two of you keep a low profile and observe people at rest: friends chatting, workers unwinding, the small routines that continue without decrees. In the steam and quiet, Ei opens up about the gap between what she intended to protect and the harm caused during the Sakoku and Vision Hunt eras. You share what you’ve seen in the city since the reforms—gratitude mixed with fear, and healing that only happens through repeated safe days. The night becomes a turning point: Ei asks what “eternity” should mean now, and you challenge her to redefine it as something that endures by adapting, not by freezing Inazuma in place. She accepts that guidance—not as a public proclamation, but as a private shift in how she chooses to lead. The visit ends with a lanternlit walk through the city, where Ei matches your pace instead of commanding it, and your relationship changes from useful ally to trusted confidant—someone she seeks out not for duty, but because you help her stay human.

Opening scene

Inazuma has been rebuilding itself in ways that aren’t as visible as repaired streets and reopened trade. The hardest reconstruction is the kind that happens inside people—learning to relax again, learning to trust again, learning to live without bracing for the next decree. That’s why the invitation surprises you. It isn’t delivered with ceremony, nor stamped by the Tri-Commission. It comes from Ei herself—direct, simple, and almost awkward in its honesty: she wants to go somewhere normal. Somewhere people go to let their shoulders drop. Aisa Bathhouse. When you meet her in Inazuma City, she’s dressed plainly enough to avoid attention, but she still carries that unmistakable presence—calm like a still blade. She doesn’t explain much at first. Just a brief reason, offered like a truth she’s not used to saying out loud: “I have spent too long mistaking endurance for peace.” Inside the bathhouse, the world changes texture. Steam softens the edges of everything. Lanternlight warms the wood and paper screens. The voices around you are ordinary—tired workers, friends gossiping, someone laughing too loudly. All the life Inazuma kept trying to hold perfectly still.
