This Miko...
I wonder what she wants to do with Kaito...
As she led Miko to the door of her own room, Acheron couldn't help but think this again.
No matter what, Miko's behavior just now was clearly a bit strange.
Of course, no matter what Miko wanted to do, she didn't need to worry.
In the face of absolute strength, she had nothing to fear; she was just a little curious.
Knock knock knock—
She reached out and gently knocked on the door, Acheron quietly waiting for her other self to open it.
Although knocking on her own door felt a bit strange, with Miko here, she still had to put on a show.
"We've already moved in together, huh? Mei, have you two already..."
Creak—
Before Miko could finish her words, the room door opened, revealing the figure of a black-haired young man from inside.
"It's Acheron... and... is this your friend?"
He seemed surprised to see Miko, and Kaito asked Acheron this question.
"So you're Mei's boyfriend. But why didn't you call her Mei? Is Acheron such a nice-sounding name?"
At this moment, Miko was sizing Kaito up and down while saying this.
She couldn't understand why Mei's boyfriend didn't call her Mei but used the strange name Acheron instead.
Additionally, Mei's boyfriend looked pretty good; she just didn't know what secrets he had.
For some reason, she felt like Mei's boyfriend was hiding some kind of secret.
"I haven't thought about whether it sounds good or not, but I think Acheron suits her better."
Regarding Miko's question, Kaito, who felt it was a bit hard to explain, answered like this.
No matter what, he couldn't say it was because Acheron had been called that since she first appeared as a game character, and he'd kept the habit.
Even if he did say it, Miko definitely wouldn't believe him, so it was better to find another reason that seemed more reasonable.
"Oh? Suits Mei better? Then that's..."
"No!"
Once again, before she could finish speaking, Miko was interrupted—this time by Acheron behind her.
"Hey, hey, hey, you're this vigilant? I thought we were already friends who could talk about anything."
The more she spoke, the sadder Miko seemed, leaving Acheron and Kaito beside her both looking baffled.
"We've known each other for less than a day; how are we friends who can talk about anything?"
Acheron, being the same gender as Miko, naturally didn't need to give her any good looks.
But Kaito had to say some consoling words.
"It's fine; we'll get familiar after spending more time together. By the way, come in and sit for a bit. It's not great standing at the door."
"Next time. I have something to do later."
Although she really wanted to get some information about Mei from her boyfriend, it clearly wasn't appropriate now with Mei watching right there.
So, she needed to find a time when Mei wasn't around.
Of course, that had to be based on getting somewhat familiar with Mei's boyfriend first.
Otherwise, she definitely wouldn't get any useful information.
"I see, alright then, next time!"
"Right, you're Kaito, aren't you? You can just call me Yae Miko."
Suddenly remembering she hadn't introduced herself yet, Miko added this now.
"Yeah, I'm Kaito." Kaito nodded again.
"Then I'll head out first and not disturb your alone time."
After giving an ambiguous smile, Miko turned and left.
Because Acheron didn't need to appear next, Miko would go do that fun thing herself.
"I'll walk you out." Feeling it wasn't great to let Miko leave just like that, Acheron followed to see her off.
"Bye-bye, Miko sis!"
At this moment, Paimon, who had been watching at the door, saw Miko leaving and hurriedly waved her little hand.
"What a cute little one. Bye-bye."
Miko, clearly in a good mood, also reached out and waved at Paimon.
She knew this little one was also one of Mei's companions; she'd have to find this little one later too.
Afterward, Miko and Acheron walked outside together.
"This is far enough."
"Alright, I'm off then."
Seeing Miko say this was far enough, Acheron left these words and immediately turned back toward the inn.
"She didn't even say goodbye; that's too heartless."
Not expecting Acheron to leave so decisively, Miko, still standing in place, couldn't help but say this.
She had originally wanted to say something more to Mei, but as soon as she said one sentence, Mei just left.
"Didn't you say this was far enough?"
Acheron tilted her head, seemingly not understanding Miko's words.
"Forget it. Actually, I just wanted to ask you one question."
Like she was giving up, Miko said she wanted to ask a question—one she hadn't finished asking earlier.
"What question?"
"It's just... have you and your boyfriend already..."
"Why are you asking that?"
Not expecting Miko to ask this question again, Acheron was speechless.
She really couldn't figure out why Miko was asking this.
"Curious." Miko's answer was quick and simple.
Actually, it was because Mei looked so much like the real one that she couldn't help but be curious about such things.
"Then be curious on your own."
After saying this, Acheron left without looking back.
She didn't want to answer such things.
Additionally, after going back, she needed to reduce the number of times she went out.
Although the people at this inn probably hadn't seen the Raiden Shogun much, for safety's sake, she should go out less.
If she absolutely had to go out, she couldn't walk; that would make the chance of being recognized too high.
Is she being shy?
Seems like it...
How could she possibly say something like that out loud...
After chuckling to herself, Miko also turned and left, soon arriving at the inspection station by the docks.
"It's Lady Guuji. I didn't expect to see you here, Lady Guuji."
Seeing Lady Guuji approaching, Kageyama, who was about to get off work and go home, was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly went to greet her.
The Shogun during the day, and now Lady Guuji—what on earth was happening?
As she walked over while thinking about this, Kageyama felt a faint unease in her heart.
"Do you still remember what happened during the day?"
Looking at Kageyama approaching, Miko smiled mysteriously, while Kageyama's heart skipped a beat.
