Sigh...
I really am curious about Kaito's true identity...
It's one thing to have an Anemo Archon as a girlfriend...
But to actually have a girlfriend named Mei who looks so much like Makoto...
This guy is definitely not simple...
Sitting alone in the Kamisato Clan's study, Miko was pondering matters concerning Kaito.
Up until now, she hadn't seen Kaito display any extraordinary strength.
But even so, she didn't consider Kaito to be an ordinary person.
After all, no ordinary person would have girlfriends like Wendy and Mei.
Hmm...
Should I find an opportunity to test that fellow...
But with Wendy or Mei around, I simply wouldn't be able to test him...
As she thought, Miko rested her chin on one hand while rhythmically tapping the table with the other.
Right...
That guy also has a girlfriend named Kiana whom I haven't met yet...
I wonder what special qualities this Miss Kiana possesses...
The tapping on the table suddenly stopped as Miko realized she had not yet met the girl named Kiana.
Currently, she had only heard the other party's name and knew she was also Kaito's girlfriend, but she knew absolutely nothing else.
However, even so, she still felt that this girl named Kiana was by no means simple.
After all, neither Wendy nor Mei were ordinary individuals, so that girl named Kiana must surely be the same.
"Speaking of which, why has that girl never appeared? Is it because she isn't in Inazuma?"
Because she was truly too curious about why the other party had never appeared, Miko couldn't help but mutter to herself.
There was no helping it; this kind of thing just made her feel too curious.
Forget it, forget it...
I'll just ask Mei directly next time...
Thinking this way, Miko stood up and walked towards the outside.
Outside.
"Is Lady Guuji leaving?"
Seeing Miko come out into the courtyard, Kamisato Ayato remarked.
"You brat, where did I say I was leaving? Are you in such a hurry to chase me away?"
Looking very angry, Miko fired a series of questions at Kamisato Ayato.
Of course, this was just an act she was putting on, and she really was preparing to leave.
It was just that upon suddenly hearing Kamisato Ayato's words, a plan immediately came to her mind, leading to this performance.
"Apologies, Lady Guuji, it was my negligence."
Realizing that his words were indeed somewhat inappropriate, Kamisato Ayato hurriedly expressed his apologies to Miko.
"Sigh, forget it. Consider yourself lucky, kid. I have matters to handle tomorrow, so I won't blame you."
After heaving a sigh, Miko departed under Kamisato Ayato's gaze.
If not for the fact that she had matters to handle tomorrow, Miko would have continued to tease Kamisato Ayato.
But there was no helping it; there were things to do tomorrow, so she would just tease him casually for now.
Matters tomorrow?
Is it the matter she just discussed with 'Her Excellency, the Shogun'?
Watching Lady Guuji's retreating figure, Kamisato Ayato couldn't help but think this.
As for the matter of accidentally offending Lady Guuji just now, he would have Thoma send some items to the shrine later.
However, he also knew that Lady Guuji was merely pretending to be angry just now.
But even so, the gifts that should be sent must still be sent.
-----------------------------
The next day.
The Inn.
Creak—
Miko should be coming to find me...
Opening the door and stepping outside, Acheron silently thought this.
Since she hadn't agreed with Miko yesterday on where to meet first, she had this thought.
"Good morning, Big Sister Acheron."
Just then, Paimon's voice suddenly came from ahead.
This Paimon actually got up so early today...
Looking up at Paimon and Lumine who were walking towards her from the other end of the corridor, Acheron silently thought this.
However, after seeing the things in Lumine's hands, she understood the reason.
"Good morning, Big Sister Acheron." Because the other party was obviously older than herself, Lumine addressed Acheron as 'Big Sister' just like Paimon did.
"Good morning. Did you go out to buy breakfast?"
Although it felt very obvious, Acheron still asked.
"Yeah, Big Sister Acheron, we bought yours too."
At this moment, Paimon, who had already walked up to Acheron, was struggling to hold a relatively large bag, which looked like it contained the breakfast she and Lumine had bought for them.
"Because when we got up, we saw your room doors were still closed, so we helped buy breakfast for you." Standing behind Paimon, Lumine explained the reason.
"Thanks. Here is the Mora for the breakfast..."
"No need, no need, there's no need for Mora or anything. Big Sister Acheron, everyone is friends."
Seeing Acheron wanting to give them money for the breakfast, Lumine hurriedly waved her hand to indicate it wasn't necessary.
Regardless, they had been together for some time now, so helping to buy breakfast shouldn't be treated as something so foreign.
"Just friends?"
After listening to Lumine's answer, Acheron suddenly asked this question.
"Huh?"
Regarding this question from Acheron, Lumine didn't immediately react to what the sentence meant.
"It's girlfriends!" Paimon quickly gave her answer.
"Then I understand." Smiling faintly, Acheron took the breakfast the two had bought and walked back into the room.
Girl... girlfriends?
Lumine, who was pondering what question Acheron had asked, was dumbfounded again.
"What girlfriends?"
Because Acheron had already walked into the room, Lumine asked Paimon.
Wait a minute!
This stinking Paimon!
Before Paimon could answer anything, Lumine suddenly understood something.
However, at this moment, Paimon was walking towards their room, looking like she was about to start eating breakfast.
"It's just girlfriends." Paimon, who was preparing to enter the room to eat breakfast, simply replied with this sentence.
Forget it...
Eat breakfast first...
Actually, Lumine wanted to smack Paimon for answering questions on her behalf without permission, but after thinking about it, she didn't do so.
Anyway, let's eat first and talk later.
Da da da—
Hmm?
Just as Lumine wanted to go into the room, she suddenly heard footsteps coming towards her side, so she subconsciously took a look.
It's the person who came to find Kaito before...
Did she buy breakfast too?
Looking at the other party, Lumine immediately recalled that this was the person who had come to find Kaito previously.
And looking at the things she was holding, it looked like breakfast as well.
Good thing I walked a bit faster...
Watching the other party getting closer and closer to her, Lumine at the doorway silently thought this, and then she walked into the room.
