However...
I don't think I can beat her...
Damn it!
Suddenly recalling Wendy's formidable strength, Miko couldn't help but think this way.
She felt truly frustrated right now. Just when she wanted to hit someone, she ran into someone she absolutely couldn't defeat.
Moreover, this person was just a little girl, which made her lose a lot of face.
"Enough of that. Do you guys want to eat? If you do, I'll order."
As he spoke, Kaito picked up the menu sitting to the side and began to look through it.
Although Miko dared to say anything in front of Wendy, he knew that with him, Miko definitely wouldn't act that way.
Eat?
Did this guy Kaito not understand what Wendy was talking about?
Hearing Kaito ask if they wanted to eat, Miko immediately had this thought.
Regardless, she didn't want Kaito to know about the things she and Wendy had discussed. Even though she felt the possibility of him knowing was small, she still hoped for that slim chance.
There was no helping it; that sort of thing was simply too humiliating.
Even if there was a high probability that Kaito had already seen her in that "candid" state, nothing had actually happened between them, after all. So, she didn't want him to misunderstand so much about those kinds of matters.
"Let me have a look."
Just as Miko was wondering whether Kaito had understood the implication behind Wendy's words, Wendy had already taken the menu from Kaito's hands and started reading it.
Hmm...
I really should eat something...
It is already noon, after all...
Seeing Wendy start to look at the menu, Miko decided to focus on eating first.
More importantly, she didn't want to continue that topic, or she would truly die of embarrassment.
"Miko."
"Huh? What is it? Oh, the menu. Let me see."
Suddenly hearing Kaito call her name caused Miko's heart to skip a beat. She thought he was going to ask about what Wendy had just said. But when she looked clearly, she realized Kaito was just handing a menu towards her.
"To think you'd get so jumpy. It feels like you're quite different from before."
After Miko took the menu from his hand, Kaito couldn't help but make this remark.
One had to remember that the Miko of the past had always been the type to handle things with ease; she would never display this kind of skittish behavior.
Of course, Kaito could roughly guess the reason for this, but he simply chose not to say it out loud.
"I say, Kai, what did you get up to last night? A lone man and a lone woman in a room... surely you didn't do nothing, right? And what was the deal with that chair?"
Just as Miko was looking at the menu and thinking about what to eat, Wendy's words completely drew her attention away, leaving her with no desire to continue looking at the food options.
This little girl is so annoying...
Keeping her head down and staring at the menu she no longer had the heart to read, Miko couldn't help but internally grumble about Wendy.
If she could, right now, she really wanted to kick Wendy all the way back to where she came from.
"We truly didn't do anything. Besides, the chair was naturally used for sleeping. I haven't slept on a chair in a long time."
Regarding Wendy's question, Kaito's tone sounded very flat, as if he were answering the most ordinary thing in the world.
Did nothing...
Could it be... Did I only imagine him taking off my clothes? Did such a thing actually not happen?
Upon hearing Kaito's answer to Wendy, Miko fell into deep thought once again.
Even now, she still couldn't figure out if Kaito had actually stripped her last night, or if she had really eaten that thing.
Although judging by various sensations, those two events certainly seemed to have occurred, Miko knew about Kaito's abilities. Therefore, she really couldn't determine if her memories had been altered.
No!
I have to find a chance to ask him...
I just don't know if this guy will answer me truthfully...
Whatever... I'll just ask and see!
Continuing to look at the menu while pondering these matters, Miko secretly plotted.
Right...
Should I go find Mei before that? She definitely wouldn't be like this bratty girl...
As she thought about this, Miko glanced at Wendy.
"Have you not decided yet, Miko?"
Seeing that Miko had been staring at the menu for a while, Kaito asked curiously.
There weren't that many dishes on the menu, so he was curious why Miko was taking so long.
"Oh, I'm ready. Please order this for me."
Hearing Kaito ask why she hadn't finished ordering, and realizing she seemed to have spent a relatively long time, Miko hurriedly picked an item at random and showed it to Kaito.
"Miko, are you planning to eat with me?"
Just after Miko put down the menu, Wendy suddenly said something baffling, which made Miko feel baffled as well.
"What do you mean?"
Looking at the odd expression on Wendy's face, Miko asked.
"Then it seems you're only drinking soup, Miko."
Drinking soup?
Thinking this, Miko picked up the menu again, only to discover that what she had just pointed to was indeed a soup.
"I forgot. I'll order something else."
Although Miko did want to say that she was just going to have soup, after thinking about it, she picked up the menu once more.
