Ash has many reasons to dislike Vishi, but honesty isn't one of them.
Previously, he could use nonsense like the three major illusions in life to muddle through, but not anymore. From Blood Moon to Dazzling Star, from silver to Legendary, Ash is now at the Golden Level just in the Spirit Faction. How could he possibly fail to discern a girl's intentions?
Even though Filly, the little lamb, has tried her best to hide her true feelings, Ash has already witnessed Hanna's passionate kiss, seen Silver Lamp's tears at farewell, felt Sword Maiden's shyness during their embrace, and observed the Witch's attachment upon their reunion.
So when Ash's gaze meets Filly's, he can recognize those familiar and dazzling radiances.
Even without saying a word, affection still escapes from the eyes.
"...Perhaps we should go find her directly; she should be having swordsmanship lessons now."
