Hmm?
What is she looking at?
And... why is she acting like this?
While talking to Miko, Ei suddenly noticed that Acheron was looking around, her expression one of nostalgia. This immediately reminded Her of Makoto.
However, due to previous events, Ei didn't say anything; She simply watched her silently.
But just as She was watching her, the other party's gaze turned toward Her, causing Her to immediately look away.
It couldn't be helped; staring at someone like that was rather strange.
"Oh my, two people who look so alike... I feel like I can't even tell you apart."
Miko, who had intended to continue the previous topic with Ei, said this upon seeing Her locking eyes with Makoto.
It couldn't be helped; that was simply the reality. If Mei had pretended to be Ei when they first met, she might actually have been deceived for a while.
"Miko."
Facing Miko's remark, Makoto called out to her.
"What is it? Did I say something wrong?"
Seeing that Makoto seemed to want to say something, Miko asked.
"Take me to get something to eat."
Under Miko's gaze, Makoto slowly uttered these words.
Regardless of anything else, having been away from Inazuma for so long, She really wanted to eat some Inazuman delicacies again.
"All right, all right. That's great, I want to eat something too."
Not expecting Makoto to want to eat, Miko naturally agreed. She knew Makoto must be missing the cuisine of Inazuma, and this was a wish she absolutely had to satisfy.
Eating?
Suddenly hearing that Acheron wanted to go eat, Ei subconsciously recalled scenes from hundreds of years ago when She, Makoto, and those friends used to eat together.
It had to be said, that was Her happiest time.
But now, it had been a long time since She had experienced that, and perhaps such a scene would never appear again.
"Then let's go."
Saying this, Makoto walked toward Inazuma City, while Miko looked at Ei, who seemed to be deep in thought.
"Why are you looking at me like that? Didn't you say you were going to eat with her?"
Seeing Miko looking at Her for unknown reasons, Ei was somewhat speechless; She didn't know what Miko was up to.
But it didn't matter. Since she wanted to go eat, it was time for Her to leave.
"I was thinking..."
Continuing to look at Ei, Miko added, "Aren't you hungry? Ei, don't you plan to go eat some sweets? Don't tell me you've quit them?"
Ei: "???"
At this moment, Ei truly felt Miko was being baffling.
However, the situation was a bit special right now, so She couldn't act as She used to.
Just then, Makoto, who had already walked some distance away, turned back to look at them and said, "Aren't you two coming?"
You two?
Ei, who was locking eyes with Miko, immediately perked up upon hearing Acheron's words.
Because if that was the case, it meant Acheron intended to go with Her and Miko, not just with Miko. This point was very important.
"I am currently asking for Her Excellency, the Shogun's opinion. I wonder if Her Elderly Highness would be willing to grace us with Her presence."
Turning her head to look at Makoto not far away, Miko spoke with mock seriousness, making Ei truly want to beat her up.
"Miko... I think you are..."
"Then do you want to join us? Raiden Shogun."
Just as Ei decided She would no longer tolerate Miko, Makoto had walked over and issued an invitation to Her.
Ei: "!"
Suddenly hearing Acheron's invitation, Ei immediately looked at her and paid no further attention to Miko.
"Then... let's go together."
She originally wanted to state a reason, but after thinking it over and finding no suitable words, Ei simply nodded and responded in this concise manner.
Perhaps because the other party looked too much like Makoto, She always failed to put on the airs of the Electro Archon before her.
"Why does it feel..."
"Miko, shut up."
Just as Miko to the side wanted to say something, Ei directly chose to silence her.
Although she hadn't finished her sentence, Ei knew she was definitely preparing to talk about Her again.
"I'm shutting up, I'm shutting up."
Seeing Ei like this, Miko hurriedly covered her mouth with her hands.
Of course, she was only shutting up towards Ei; talking to Makoto would certainly not be affected.
After all, Ei didn't say she couldn't talk to Makoto, and even if She thought that, She certainly wouldn't do it.
"I feel like Miko definitely gets beaten up a lot usually."
Looking at Miko acting this way, Makoto's thoughts instantly went back to that time in the past.
The Miko of that time also had a mouth like this, wanting to roast everyone.
"No, no. Ei just has a sharp tongue but a soft heart."
Waving her hand, Miko directly stated that Ei merely had a sharp tongue but a soft heart.
"It feels like you two have known each other for a long time."
After thinking for a while, Ei spoke this sentence.
She wanted to hear how Miko or Acheron would answer Her.
Regardless, She now had some interaction with Acheron, so there were some questions She could ask.
"Actually, not that long. Just ten days or a bit more."
After tilting her head and thinking for a moment, Makoto shook her head.
Of course, this answer was also taught to Her by Mei. She had no choice; She didn't know exactly how long Miko and Miss Mei had known each other.
Ten days or so?
After receiving Acheron's answer, Ei looked at Miko with a scrutinizing gaze.
She was wondering why Miko hadn't told Her about Acheron immediately. After all, something like this was very important; Miko was clearly up to something.
However, She felt that now was not the time to ask this question; it was better to ask later.
"I say, Ei, you've been staying in that place all this time, so I had no choice but to investigate on my own first."
Seeing Ei looking at her with a scrutinizing gaze, Miko immediately understood what She was thinking.
But regarding this, she was prepared; she had long since thought up the excuse she just mentioned.
"Is that so?"
Regarding Miko's answer, Ei frowned.
But there was no helping it; this answer was indeed reasonable.
"Of course it is."
Nodding vigorously, Miko naturally answered affirmatively.
After all, she had just said that, so she certainly wouldn't say she was lying now.
"Then let's go."
Saying no more, Ei felt it wasn't good to discuss those matters right in front of the other party.
And more importantly, She couldn't keep the other party waiting any longer.
If there was anything else, She would discuss it slowly with Miko later; there would be plenty of opportunities.
"Let's go, let's go. Let's go, Mei, and Ei."
Saying this, Miko took the lead and walked in front, then turned back to look at Makoto and said, "Mei, do you eat sweets?"
