"Oh? What is it that's got you acting so mysterious?"
Looking at Paimon behind Wendy, Miko was also very curious.
She really couldn't figure out what sort of stunt Wendy and Paimon were trying to pull.
Afterward, she looked at Kaito and Lumine not far away, and the doubts in her heart became even stronger.
This guy...
What exactly does he want to do?
Withdrawing her gaze, Miko thought this to herself.
She knew that this was definitely Kaito's doing.
But it didn't matter; she would just listen to what these two little ones had to say first.
And just as Miko was thinking this, Ei, standing to the side, also looked at Kaito not far away with some confusion.
She knew that this must be something this young man wanted to do, which was why the Anemo Archon and this flying little thing came before her.
Is it related to Acheron?
Thinking that she was currently confirming whether Acheron was actually Makoto, Ei naturally thought of this.
However, this was ultimately just her guess. As for the facts, she still had to listen to what the Anemo Archon and this flying little thing had to say.
Hmm...
What is she doing?
Suddenly seeing that little fellow called Paimon looking like she wanted to speak but stopping, Ei became even more curious.
"What are you dawdling for? Hurry up and say it."
While both Miko and Ei felt curious, Wendy also urged Paimon to speak.
Honestly, Wendy was already somewhat looking forward to the Raiden Shogun's reaction after hearing Paimon's whimsical idea.
Will she be angry?
Or will she continue to be expressionless?
As for Miko, Wendy felt she wouldn't be able to help laughing out loud.
"Yes, little one, hurry up and speak. Don't waste Her Excellency, the Shogun's time."
Although she didn't know what Paimon was going to say, Miko still said this.
"Ugh... then I... I'll say it, you guys don't get angry."
Seeing a bunch of people looking at her, Paimon said this first.
And at the same time, she moved a bit closer to Wendy, almost bumping into her.
"Angry?" It had to be said, Miko was becoming increasingly curious about what Paimon was going to say.
"It's just..." Saying this, Paimon kept observing the Raiden Shogun's expression changes. If anything seemed off, she would immediately run behind Wendy. Then, seeing the Raiden Shogun remaining expressionless, she continued, "It's just that I think Big Sister Acheron and the Raiden Shogun are..."
"Are what?"
Not knowing if she was too curious or if Paimon was speaking too slowly, Miko asked this, picking up her sentence before Paimon could finish.
"Are in a mother-daughter relationship."
Continuing to observe the Raiden Shogun's expression, Paimon finally spoke the words.
And just after saying it, she suddenly remembered Kaito saying that the Raiden Shogun would know she said this.
Right...
If the Raiden Shogun already knew, why was I dawdling so much...
Oh no...
I haven't said sorry yet...
"Mother-daughter relationship?" Muttering this term, Miko looked toward Ei and Makoto behind her, and then looked at Paimon beside Wendy.
"Hahaha—"
Under Paimon's surprised gaze, Miko couldn't help but laugh out loud.
She held her stomach with one hand, bending over and laughing ceaselessly.
Not expecting it to be something like this, Makoto didn't know how to react for a moment. Then, as if remembering something, she turned her head to look at Ei beside her.
And when she turned her head, she found that Ei was also looking at her.
"So, in what way do we look like mother and daughter?" Upon discovering the other was also looking at her, Ei quickly withdrew her gaze and said.
It had to be said, this little fellow was really bold enough to wildly guess the relationship between Her and Acheron.
Actually, if it were any other relationship, it would be fine, but she just had to guess a mother-daughter relationship. This was simply unbearable.
Wait!
Mother and daughter?
Then who is the mother?
Who is the daughter?
And what about the father?
Suddenly thinking of these questions, Ei couldn't help but start pondering.
But pondering aside, She didn't ask them out loud.
There was no helping it; such questions were obviously not suitable for Her, as the Raiden Shogun, to ask.
And more importantly, until when was this Miko going to laugh?
"Miko." Seeing that Miko had no intention of stopping, Ei called her name.
"Cough, cough. What is it? Ei."
Suddenly hearing Ei calling her, Miko quickly coughed and stopped laughing ceaselessly like before.
"Is it very funny?" Looking at Miko expressionlessly, Ei asked this question.
"This little fellow is quite funny."
Since she had laughed out loud after all, Miko explained the reason for her laughter.
Anyway, regardless, she was just laughing at Paimon and meant nothing else.
"Is that so?" Regarding Miko's answer, Ei was obviously very dissatisfied.
She naturally knew what Miko was laughing at, but Miko obviously didn't want to admit it.
"Yes, Ei. I'm definitely not laughing at you."
Meeting Ei's gaze, Miko nodded vigorously, very sincerely indicating she wasn't laughing at Her.
Of course, if Ei insisted on thinking she was laughing at Her, then she would just laugh again.
"Why don't you think we are in a sisterly relationship? Little one."
At this moment, Makoto at the side suddenly spoke this sentence, causing Ei to immediately shift her attention.
She couldn't help it; she felt Makoto's words had a hint of implication.
"That's right, Paimon. You actually don't think they are sisters but rather some mother-daughter relationship. Is there anyone who guesses like you?"
Seeing Makoto speak, Miko quickly chimed in to support.
Of course, she mainly did it to divert Ei's attention.
She knew very well that doing some things once was enough; doing them continuously would be crossing the line, especially for Ei.
"Because... because I heard Kaito say their relationship is a bit hard to explain."
Not knowing if it was because of a guilty conscience, Paimon turned back to look at Kaito not far away while saying this.
Actually, she was mainly worried that saying Kaito's words would make Kaito angry, but there was no choice; she had to say it now, and Kaito hadn't said she couldn't say that sentence of his.
Hard to explain?
It seems he really knows some things...
But...
Could it be what I'm thinking?
Looking again at that young man's figure, Ei already had a premonition in her heart.
It's just that sentence of his, why would he say it like that?
What does 'relationship is hard to explain' mean?
"Hard to explain? In what way is it hard to explain?" Just as Ei was thinking, Miko asked directly. Ei also snapped back to reality and looked at Paimon, wanting to hear what she had to say.
"This... I don't know either."
