This Miko...
What exactly is she thinking?
Sitting alone in a corner of the restaurant, Kaito couldn't help but wonder.
Through his connection with Wendy just now, he had actually overheard the kind of things Miko was saying. Originally, he thought Miko found such matters ridiculous, but he was clearly mistaken. However, he also knew that Miko likely only spoke so boldly because she was with Wendy, who was of the same sex.
As for doing so in front of him, a member of the opposite sex, she probably wouldn't say things like that.
Of course, this was just his guess; he didn't know what exactly Miko was thinking. But regardless, at least now Miko should know that those kinds of things weren't just him making stuff up.
Forget it...
I'll eat first...
I'm a little hungry...
Thinking this, Kaito began eating the dishes he had just ordered. Although he knew Miko and Wendy would be coming to find him soon, he decided to start eating. After all, from his perspective, he theoretically shouldn't know they were coming, so he had to appear to be eating normally rather than waiting for someone.
A short while later.
"I heard Kai's voice. He's here."
Suddenly, Wendy's voice rang out from outside.
"Kai's voice? You can hear that too?" Following Wendy's voice, Miko's puzzled tone also drifted in from outside. "He's definitely right here."
As these words fell, Wendy walked into the restaurant where Kaito was, followed closely by a somewhat suspicious Miko.
Kaito... He's really here...
But how did this little girl hear Kaito's voice?
Why didn't I hear it?
Looking at Kaito sitting in the corner, Miko couldn't help but wonder. But doubts aside, she still walked towards him.
Since it was still a bit early, there weren't many people in the restaurant.
"Wendy, Miko, you guys actually came." Raising his head and seeing them approach, Kaito feigned a look of surprise.
"I was bored, so I came out for a stroll. You didn't even bring me along." Wendy sat down directly next to Kaito, her tone carrying a hint of dissatisfaction. After sitting down, she picked up the chopsticks Kaito had set aside and grabbed a bit of food to eat.
Why bring a little girl like you along...
Silently thinking this, Miko took the seat opposite Kaito.
"By the way, Kai." Just as Miko sat down, Wendy sounded like she had something to say, which piqued Miko's curiosity.
"What is it?"
"It's about Miko..." As she spoke, Wendy put down the chopsticks and looked at Miko across the table.
Hmm?
What does this little girl want to say about me?
Meeting Wendy's gaze, Miko became even more curious. But soon, recalling what she had said to Wendy at the inn, she felt a sudden sense of foreboding. She seemed to realize what Wendy was about to say.
This brat...
Is she planning to talk about that kind of thing?
Continuing to look at Wendy, Miko felt stuck—unable to speak up, yet unable to stay silent.
"What about Miko?" Kaito didn't seem to think Wendy's topic was anything important, asking quite calmly.
"Did Miko do that kind of thing with you last night? And even exercised her oral skills on the chair?"
Exercised her oral skills???
If it were the past, Miko certainly wouldn't have known what Wendy was talking about, but now, she knew. She had denied it at the inn earlier, but Wendy evidently didn't believe her, even coming up with weird phrasing like "exercising oral skills."
"You brat, what are you talking about? I already said I didn't, yet you're still asking." Facing Wendy's words, Miko had no choice but to speak up.
Although their wording was quite generic and outsiders wouldn't know what they were discussing, Miko was still unwilling to talk about such things in a public place, especially when it involved her.
"Wendy, let's talk about this later."
Looking around, Kaito finally intervened with this sentence.
At least you have some tact!
Miko felt Kaito's handling of the situation was quite decent. Regardless of anything else, discussing this here was inappropriate.
"Oh, then I understand." Nodding, Wendy directly indicated she understood.
What exactly did you understand, you brat?
Seeing Wendy's expression, which seemed to imply she had figured everything out, Miko couldn't help but retort inwardly.
"By the way."
Suddenly, Wendy spoke up again, making Miko feel on edge. What does this brat want to say now? Every time Wendy said "by the way," Miko knew she was about to say something outrageous.
"Big Sister Miko thinks my mouth is small, and not as big as hers."
Looking at Miko, Wendy said this, enunciating every word clearly.
I really want to hit someone!
Knowing the implication behind Wendy's words, Miko truly wanted to hit someone.
She regretted it very much now—regretted ever saying those kinds of things in front of Wendy.
