"Yeah, yeah, how did it go? I'm so curious."
Flying in front of Kaito, Paimon also looked very expectant.
Although she still didn't know what was going on, it didn't stop her from asking.
"Actually, nothing much happened. We just exchanged a few words and came out."
Since nothing much had actually happened, Kaito could only answer like this.
"Nothing much?"
Not expecting Kaito to answer like that, Miko was also stunned for a moment.
What did he mean by "nothing much"?
Did Ei realize Makoto's existence?
Or did Ei think She just mistook the person?
Looking at Kaito, Miko really wanted to ask this out loud.
But there was no helping it; obviously, she couldn't ask that here.
*[Hey, hey, hey? Can you hear me?]
Suddenly remembering that she could communicate with Kaito in her mind, Miko immediately shouted these words internally.
[I can hear you, Little Fox.]
Just as Miko was waiting for Kaito's voice to sound, Wendy's voice suddenly rang out in her mind.
Miko: "???"
Subconsciously looking around, Miko had completely not expected to hear that little girl Wendy's voice, especially since she clearly wasn't here.
What was going on?
[Stop looking, Little Fox. You definitely won't be able to see me.]
Just as Miko was looking left and right trying to find Wendy's figure, Wendy's voice rang out again.
This brat...
She must be hiding somewhere peeking at me...
Still paying attention to her surroundings, Miko also felt like hitting someone.
Hmm...
What's wrong with Miko?
At this moment, seeing Miko constantly looking around, Lumine, standing to the side, also had a face full of confusion; she was very curious about what Miko was looking for.
"Alright, let's go back first."
Just as Lumine was looking around like Miko, Kaito said this and then walked toward the Ritou Inn.
"Sigh, I still don't know what the situation is."
Watching Kaito walk past her, Paimon said this somewhat helplessly.
Originally, she thought she could see some interesting things, but she was called out, and now Kaito wouldn't say anything. She felt she had truly come for nothing.
And more importantly, she had sacrificed her sleep time to come here; this was truly a huge loss.
"Let's go."
Seeing that Miko and Kaito had both left, Lumine hurried to catch up.
"Wait for me!"
Suddenly realizing she was the only one left on the spot, Paimon hurriedly flew toward the group that had already walked far away.
And taking this opportunity, Miko had already started chatting with Kaito and Makoto in her mind.
[So... you guys just left like that? This is a bit different from the plan.]
After listening to Makoto's explanation, Miko spoke somewhat puzzledly.
She felt that since Makoto wanted to pretend to have amnesia, why not spend some time alone with Ei? This was something she really couldn't understand.
[Ei will definitely come looking for me next, don't worry.]
In response to Miko's confusion, Makoto gave this answer.
Because She wanted to see for Herself what Inazuma looked like hundreds of years later, Makoto had just rejected Kaito's proposal.
She had plenty of time now, so there was no need to rush.
Of course, She knew Ei would definitely be anxious, and that was exactly what She wanted to see.
[That might be true, but I feel Ei will probably look for me first. After all, I am very familiar with you guys now...]
[So, I'll leave the rest to you, Miko.]
Before Miko could finish speaking, Makoto had already said this.
[No problem, no problem, leave it all to me.]
At this moment, Miko was brimming with confidence.
Of course, she was only like this because the other party was Makoto.
If it were anyone else, she would have to see about the situation.
[Then we'll leave it all to Miko.]
Thinking that he didn't actually have much involvement in this, Kaito also took this opportunity to express this.
However, Miko was dissatisfied with his statement.
What did he mean by leaving it all to her?
Did he mean she was the only one working?
Turning her head to glance at Kaito, Miko couldn't hold back.
[Hey, hey, hey? You're just making me do all the work, aren't you? Careful, or I might defect.]
Although she said this, Miko was merely expressing her dissatisfaction.
There was no helping it; who told these people to hand everything over to her?
[Then I will have to clean house.]
At this moment, Wendy's voice rang out again.
Miko: "???"
Looking around just like before, Miko realized she had forgotten about Wendy's voice suddenly appearing just now.
And more importantly, that little girl actually said she wanted to clean house.
[You brat, stop hiding and come out!]
Although she couldn't beat that brat, Miko couldn't care less about that and directly uttered harsh words telling her to come out.
Of course, mainly because Kaito was right next to her, she didn't have to worry about Wendy actually doing anything to her.
[Alright, Wendy, stop talking. Besides, if anything happens, I will of course step in; I'm not leaving everything to you.]
At this moment, Kaito spoke up.
And after Kaito spoke, Makoto's voice also rang out.
[Wendy? Why is this name so similar to that Anemo Archon of Mondstadt?]
Hmm?
Has Makoto really not met Wendy?
Suddenly hearing Makoto's words, Miko also subconsciously thought this.
Originally, she subconsciously thought Makoto must have already met Wendy, after all, Makoto had appeared over at Mei's place, but she was obviously mistaken.
[Yeah, it is indeed a bit similar.]
Just like Miko, Kaito only realized at this moment that Makoto and Wendy's side hadn't met.
Because of the fact that they were all one person, Kaito subconsciously felt that since Makoto had already met him, She must have also met Wendy and Kiana's side.
But in reality, they and Makoto had not actually met yet.
[This isn't just a 'bit' similar, is it?]
Not expecting Kaito to say that, Miko couldn't help but roast him a bit.
It had to be said, Wendy and Venti—these two were truly very similar in both name and appearance; she didn't know why it was like this.
Hmm?
Wait!
Suddenly, Miko discovered something very strange.
Or rather, she once again recalled a matter she had thought of before.
That is, why are there always people around Kaito who look so similar to the gods?
Is this really just a coincidence?
One could be considered a coincidence, but two would be a bit off, not to mention they are all so similar.
What on earth... is the reason?*
Thinking about this question, Miko secretly turned her head to glance at Kaito beside her.
At this moment, she suddenly realized that this guy, Kaito, was even more complex than she currently knew.
