Kamisato Estate.
"Lady Guuji, this thing... surely it isn't meant to be eaten, is it?"
Standing behind Miko, Ayaka could not help but ask this question as she watched Miko fiddle with a glob of unidentifiable goo.
Just moments ago, Miko had suddenly arrived at the Kamisato Estate and requested to use their kitchen.
Furthermore, she specifically asked for milk, eggs, and the like. This made Ayaka quite curious, so she came over to take a look.
What she saw was Miko continuously stirring a paste that looked rather peculiar.
"I heard it is, but can this kind of thing really be eaten?"
Glancing back at Ayaka standing behind her, Miko spoke, though it was unclear if she was muttering to herself or actually addressing Ayaka.
There was no helping it; right now, she had absolutely no confidence in her own masterpiece.
If it weren't for the process Kaito had described being exactly like this, she truly wouldn't be making such a thing.
"Did you obtain some kind of recipe, Lady Guuji?"
Seeing Lady Guuji in this state, Ayaka guessed that she might have suddenly acquired a recipe and thus began the production of this strange concoction.
"Recipe?" Looking back at Ayaka again, Miko slowly shook her head. "Where would I find the time to look for recipes? I just wanted to make something for someone to eat."
"But this thing..."
"It looks inedible at a glance, right? Sigh, this won't do. I have to go back and find Mei." Heaving a heavy sigh, Miko began walking out. As she reached the door, she turned back to Ayaka and said, "I'll trouble you to dispose of those things."
"Understood, Lady Guuji." Ayaka nodded.
Mei?
Whose name is that?
Watching Lady Guuji leave, Ayaka couldn't help but wonder who this person Lady Guuji called 'Mei' might be.

Outside.
Sigh...
I wonder if Mei knows how to make that sort of thing...
As soon as she stepped outside, Miko wondered if Mei knew how to properly make the thing Kaito had described.
Hm?
Isn't that the little girl?
Where is she flying off to?
Looking up, Miko suddenly spotted Wendy flying through the air toward some unknown destination. This caused Miko, who had originally planned to find Mei, to banish that thought.
Since the principal party had appeared, wouldn't it be better to just ask her directly?
However, there was a problem: how should she go about asking her?
It had to be known that their relationship wasn't exactly great right now. whenever they met, they had to exchange those nicknames first.
More importantly, if the girl asked why she was making such a thing, how should she answer?
Directly say, 'I'm making it just for you'?
No, no!
She would definitely be mocked for that...
That little girl just loves to push her luck...
Forget it...
I'd better take advantage of the fact that the brat isn't there and go ask Mei...
After standing in place and thinking for a while, Miko finally decided to go ask Mei instead of Wendy.
Subsequently, her figure quickly vanished from the spot.
Meanwhile, Wendy, who had already flown some distance away, stopped. She was wondering why Miko hadn't followed her.
That little fox actually isn't playing by the book!
Looking in the direction of the inn, Wendy hadn't expected that Miko wouldn't chase after her to ask about the ice cream as she had predicted.
What should I do?
Should I chase after her?
Acheron's side is still sleeping...
Although she thought this, Wendy was actually already on the move.
regardless, Acheron's side had just experienced vigorous exercise, so she needed to rest.
Even if Acheron had just been lying there while Kaito took the initiative, she had still lost some fluids over there, so resting was necessary.
That's right...
I'll just pretend they aren't there...
Suddenly, Wendy thought of a good idea.
Since both Kaito and Acheron were currently in her room, she just had to pretend that both of them had gone out.
Since they were all technically herself, this bit of coordination was extremely easy.

Ritou Inn.
Knock, knock, knock—
"Mei? Are you there?"
Standing before the door, Miko knocked several times in succession but received no response.
Knock, knock, knock—
Sigh...
Why is this Miko so persistent...
Inside Wendy's room, Acheron's tightly closed eyes suddenly opened.
Mmm...
My mouth hurts a little...
Slowly sitting up from the bed, Acheron felt a slight pain in her mouth. Then, she realized that the ball was still in her mouth, and by now, it was filled with her saliva.
Why am I still wearing this thing...
Reaching out to untie it, Acheron fell into deep contemplation as she looked at the small ball in her hand, which was covered in her own saliva.
Oh, right...
At that time, seeing that I fell asleep first, Kaito put it back on me...
My mouth is about to lose all feeling...
What on earth was I thinking back then...
Rubbing her mouth with both hands, Acheron frowned, unable to stop these thoughts.
Knock, knock, knock—
"Mei? Are you not there?"
At this moment, the sound of Miko knocking came from outside again.
Mei's mouth hurts right now...
Glancing at the door, Acheron silently thought this.
No matter what, she couldn't let Miko know about her mouth hurting this time. Otherwise, people would definitely wonder if she had been practicing her oral skills.
After all, not long ago it was her backside that was uncomfortable, and now her mouth hurt—this was just too improper and invited wild imagination.
Although she didn't know if Miko actually understood these things, she felt it was better to be cautious.
In any case, having lived for hundreds of years, Miko surely knew at least a little something about these matters.
Alright...
Wendy's side is back...
Thinking this, Acheron lay back down and continued to sleep.
"Stop knocking, they aren't here."
Suddenly appearing behind Miko, Wendy spoke.
How did this brat come back so quickly...
Not expecting to suddenly hear Wendy's voice, Miko turned around, inevitably feeling a bit curious.
And what made her even more curious was that Mei and Kaito were actually not there.
In that case, where had they gone?
Did they leave Inazuma?
No...
Wendy is still here...
"Then where did they go?"
"How should I know? I didn't go out with them." Facing Miko's inquiry, Wendy, who had prepared long ago, directly feigned ignorance.
Since she had just been out, she certainly wouldn't know where Kaito and Acheron had gone.
"Fine, then I'll be going first." After saying this, Miko began walking out of the inn.
But in reality, she was still conflicted about whether to ask Wendy about the food item.
