"You guys... what are you talking about? Why can't I understand a single thing?"
After listening from the side for a long time, Paimon finally couldn't help but voice her doubts.
It couldn't be helped; the more she listened, the more bewildered she became.
Originally, she thought that by listening on the sidelines, she would understand the situation, but the result was that she understood less and less of what they were saying.
"Little one, knowing too much isn't good for you, you know." Seeing the confused look on Paimon's face, Miko also couldn't help but laugh.
But it had to be said, that sentence Wendy just spoke still brought her a huge shock.
Who on earth could perform the actions Wendy just described?
To be honest, if anyone else had said such things, she would have simply thought they were spouting nonsense.
But if the subject was Wendy, then it was different.
Aside from her being powerful herself, there was also the reason that her relationship with Kaito was very unusual.
After all, that guy Kaito was far more unusual than even Wendy; to this day, she hadn't been able to see through much of his background. He was truly mysterious.
"Eh... but the problem is I don't know anything," Paimon said, spreading her two small hands.
Although she knew that knowing too much was indeed bad, the problem was she knew absolutely nothing, so what was she supposed to say?
"So, little one, just don't ask. If you ask again, won't you end up knowing those things? Right?"
Smiling, Miko walked up to Paimon and patted her little head.
"What things? Can you tell me about it?"
At this moment, Kaito and Lumine had arrived beside Miko, just in time to hear Miko's words.
Of course, he definitely knew what had happened, but he pretended not to know.
After all, he had been standing a bit far away just now, so not knowing was quite normal.
What things?
This guy is definitely playing dumb, right?
It might even be that Wendy speaking like that just now was his request...
Detestable guy...
Always pretending to know nothing...
Looking at Kaito who had just walked over, Miko was quite annoyed.
But she couldn't help it; she still had to act along with him.
After all, Wendy's attitude just now was already very clear. If she asked Kaito again, she definitely wouldn't get any answer either, only receiving a few pretentious words from this guy.
In that case, she might as well not ask and just play along with him.
"Why is a grown man like you mixing in with us girls' business?" After thinking for a moment, Miko pretended to be a bit angry as she answered Kaito's question.
Girls?
It had to be said, this sentence from Miko started Kaito thinking about the ages of everyone present.
Without a doubt, Makoto was definitely the oldest one; after all, She was a god, and should be several thousand years old.
Then there were Miko and Lumine; they had to be at least a few hundred years old.
Next would be Paimon; Kaito felt she must have existed for a long time.
Finally, there was himself, Wendy, and Acheron. The three of them combined wouldn't even match a fraction of Miko's age.
So, it would be more accurate to say Wendy and Acheron were the 'girls'.
As for Miko and the others, judging by his original concepts, they were figures at the level of ancestors.
Of course, their lifespans were naturally very long, so obviously, they couldn't be viewed using his original concepts.
"What's with that expression of yours? You aren't thinking that I'm old, are you?"
Suddenly seeing Kaito's contemplative look, Miko immediately realized he was guessing her age.
Although she felt Kaito definitely wasn't human, this guy really resembled a human. So she guessed his age shouldn't be very old, perhaps even consistent with the appearance he was currently displaying.
I was actually found out...
It seems women really are a bit sensitive about age...
Unexpectedly, Miko had actually guessed his thoughts. Kaito silently arrived at such a conclusion.
"If we are talking about age, you guys added together aren't as old as Me."
Just as Kaito wanted to answer Miko, Makoto spoke up with a joking tone.
The situation was already very clear; Wendy's sentence just now was telling Her not to think too much, that they had no other intentions.
As for wanting to know further who that person was, that should be impossible.
In that case, She shouldn't ask anymore.
"That is natural." Looking at Makoto, Kaito nodded in agreement.
"My, Acheron, how did you become proud of this? A girl's age isn't something to be spoken of like that."
Unexpectedly, Makoto seemed to feel quite proud of Her age. Miko hurriedly corrected Her.
Age?
Why are they discussing this sort of thing?
Listening silently to the conversation between Kaito, Miko, and the others from the side, Lumine was also very confused.
She really couldn't figure out how they got onto the topic of age.
And more importantly, why did the Raiden Shogun suddenly leave?
Was She really angered by Paimon's words?
Her gaze couldn't help but turn toward Paimon; Lumine really wanted to know what had just happened.
"It's useless to look at me, Lumine. I don't know anything." Seeing Lumine looking at her, Paimon spread her hands and shook her head just like before.
Knows nothing?
Hasn't this Paimon been here the whole time?
How could she not know anything?
Lumine was obviously very suspicious of Paimon's words.
After all, Paimon had been here all along; how could it be possible that she knew nothing?
"This little one is too stupid; she couldn't understand what she heard." Noticing Lumine's very confused look, Miko explained it this way.
Uh...
"Indeed." Nodding, Lumine felt Miko was right.
After all, if Paimon ever lived up to her expectations, that would be the strange thing.
"Hey, hey, hey? Do you look down on me that much?" Seeing Miko and Lumine say such things right to her face, Paimon was furious.
But she couldn't help it; aside from being angry, she couldn't do anything.
Firstly, she definitely couldn't beat Miko and Lumine. Secondly, she truly didn't understand the meaning of the words Miko and the others just said.
In other words, she could only be angry and do nothing else.
"Alright, Paimon, you should be happy right now," Kaito spoke up at this moment.
"Huh? Can I still be happy like this?"
Unexpectedly hearing Kaito say she should be happy, Paimon was bewildered.
However, she soon thought of a possibility: Kaito was actually mocking her.
"At least the Raiden Shogun didn't get angry at your whimsical idea, right?"
Just as Paimon was about to explode, Kaito spoke slowly.
