(đ)Raiden Makoto: Anyway! We shouldn't talk about @MartialARTish situation carelessly, we don't want to remind him of that incident, back to the previous topic @Gluttony's Victim at very least tell us your gender so that we won't misgender you in the future.
Gluttony's Victim: I'm a woman, that's all you need to know for now, however since the other member managed to change their nickname, how can I change mine?
(đ)Raiden Makoto: Oh that's simple, do thisâŠ

"Fufu, I'll never get bored of giving advice to the new members." Makoto cracked a smile at the phone in her hand.
Ever since she became part of this group her life trajectory changed, if it wasn't for its miraculous existence she would have probably perished at the Khaenri'ah cataclysm and her dearest younger twin would have lost her.
Makoto didn't dare to imagine that kind of future, as she loves her sister more than anything else in this world and would rather not see the future where she's all alone.
The cataclysm was truly a hellish time, it was where both gods and mortals fell.
In comparison the archon war wasn't as intense as that cataclysm, if not for the eyes she received in the lottery she would have surely perished.
Her eyes that used to be lighting purple turned into an ominous red wheel like eyes, rotating around her pupils.
Thanks to these eyes she managed to get a combat advantage as fighting became easier and combat techniques aren't as hard to master compared to before she received such eyes.
But despite all of these advantages, she still couldn't catch up with her younger twin's combat skills, but she was fine with that after all it is a fact that Ei has a superior talent in combat related skills.
Her talents lay on strategies, her intellect was superior, in that area of expertise no other gods could rival her, okay maybe there's one.
But she doesn't count as she's a literal goddess of wisdom.
She's a goddess of thunder, wisdom isn't part of her domain.
Now she's just rambling randomly, then she saw that the new member managed to change their nickname, she smiled.
To think a simple act could make her smile, this was unlike her image as a deity of a country.
But in the group chat she didn't have to act like an untouchable divinity, in this place she could be anything she wanted to be, without being judged for it.
All members including the future ones are her friends, and some are family. It was the only place in the world that she could be herself, just Makoto.
It would have been perfect if my sister could join, but unfortunately there's no way to do that for now.
Taking the tea from the table nearby, she took a sip and said. "Even as a sanctuary, it's still a place filled with danger."
She was talking about the quest, those were a double edge, while the points they obtained could help them get more powerful, it was also extremely dangerous depending on the factors.
Anomalies are unpredictable, it doesn't matter what their danger level is, as long as they were given time they'd be dangerous enough to wipe them out.
Since the beginning of the group chat, she alongside Winter are the very first members of the group.
And we didn't really get along at first, or believe what the other says, but thanks to a forced quest we had no choice but to believe what we thought was impossible.
Those were rough times where we had to find the anomaly through the old fashioned way, we took too much time and the anomaly that was supposed to be just an F rank became a B rank threat by the end of it.
And thanks to trial and error, plus luck after a couple of quests we figured out the most efficient way to search for anomalies.
Though knowing that didn't really make hunting them easier.
As she drinks the last of her tea, then suddenly her twin barges in the room without prior warning.
"Sister! I've finally completed my recent project thanks to the reference you showed me!" Ei looked proud like she did something deserving of praise.
Well, as long as it's not harmful everything she does deserves praise.
Then her younger twin whipped out her newest invention. "It's a puppet with their own consciousness, they might not be fresh and blood, they're still alive regardless."
Makoto could see, the puppet had the appearance of a younger teen. And was essentially naked, however having no private parts didn't make the room awkward.
The puppet had the look of innocence in its eyes, not surprising regardless of its appearance it is still a newborn.
While she doesn't know why her sister made something like this, she had no problem whatsoever.
But there's something that was bothering her to an unusual degree. "Ei, it's an invention worthy of praise. However, could you change its eyes? A cute face like that shouldn't have that kind of terrifying eyes. It makes women wary of them."
The puppet's eyes eerily reminded her of that annoying man, someone who isn't afraid to bite back even in the face of greater power.
Hikigaya Hachiman.
This man is someone she both respected and disliked. She respected his unwavering courage to stay true to his words despite everything being against him.
But at the same time she dislikes that his words get under her skin every time they start bickering.
It works everytime, it's like he knows exactly where it hurts and won't hesitate to use it to gain advantage.
She'd normally hate a man like that, but he's a unique exception as no matter how many insults she received from him, she could truly never hate the man.
That's his charm, despite his harsh words his actions are the opposite of harsh, when you needed something he'd give it to you despite complaining.
He'd help you when you needed help despite not asking for it, this man was something she couldn't quite read.
A strange man indeed.
Ei couldn't quite understand her sister's request, she thought to herself. 'Is the eyes really that bad?'
However, since it's a request from her sister she will comply. "Then I will change its eyes then."
But before she could go, suddenly Makoto quickly said. "Wait, don't change its eyes. They're fine in the way it is."
"...???"
Ei was confused at her sister's action, first she said didn't like the eyes, but the next second decided that she liked them.
Even if they're twins, there's some things she doesn't understand regarding Makoto.
"Just ignore my prior request alright? Let its eyes stay as it is, still since it's an individual did you have a name for it? You won't just name it man puppet won't you?" Makoto said.
"Ei..?" She realized that her sister was avoiding her gaze, she realized that her comments earlier were correct.
Ei was planning to call the puppet, man puppet and nothing else.
Makoto couldn't help but slap her forehead. "Ei...just name the puppet properly and I hope you don't name them Raijuu or something."
However, her sister opened her mouth and closed them again.Â
"Dear celestia, Ei I didn't realize you were so bad at naming!"Â
Ei didn't disagree with that statement and could only ask her elder twin for advice. "Then sister, what do you want to call it then?"
Makoto raised a frown and said. "You sure you want me to name this puppet? After all you made it yourself so it's only natural you'd name it."
"But as you said I'm hopeless in naming, that's why this responsibility is transferred to you, as my direct blood it's only natural that you have the right to name my creation, so please name it as you wish." Ei stated.
Makoto became thoughtful for a moment before finally looking back at the puppet and said. "Scaramouche, the puppet's name is going to be Scaramouche."
It was an oddly fitting name in her mind, and Ei finds it acceptable.
"Then it shall be named Scaramouche."
Thus the first 'son' of the thunder twins was born in this world.
And the trajectory of this worldline changed once more, as it was no longer the same script as before.
â
A/N: Unlike the original, Scaramouche wasn't born to become a vessel for holding Ei's divinity as she wasn't obsessed with eternal like the original.
