Paimon, who was just about to get angry, froze for a moment after hearing what Kaito said.
"It seems that way. Besides, the Raiden Shogun didn't really pay much attention to me just now."
Recalling the situation at the time, Paimon realized she could completely relax now.
And if that was the case, she really should be happy.
"It's a wonder you came up with such a strange guess."
Thinking of the guess Paimon just made, Miko was incredibly amused.
She never imagined that someone could actually come up with a guess like that.
However, what exactly did that sentence from Wendy mean?
While finding Paimon's guess amusing, Miko couldn't help but be very concerned about what Wendy had just said.
There was no helping it; she simply couldn't ignore words like that.
But she also knew that Wendy would only say that much at most; the probability of her saying more was low.
Hmm...
I wonder if this guy is willing to tell me...
After all...
I am his girlfriend...
Thinking this suddenly, Miko looked at Kaito, but Kaito wasn't looking at her.
However, Ei will definitely go ask him...
I wonder if I'll be able to listen in from the side when that happens...
Because she was truly curious about the meaning of Wendy's words, Miko couldn't help but think this way.
"Indeed. Normal people basically all guess a sisterly relationship; only she could come up with such an outrageous guess."
Although Lumine felt Paimon's guess seemed to make a bit of sense just now, it didn't stop her from saying this now.
Anyway, she hadn't voiced her opinion earlier, so she didn't have to worry about anyone saying anything about her.
Right...
I wonder if there will be a chance to ask Miko...
Suddenly remembering what she was just thinking about, Lumine looked at Miko while thinking this.
And just as she was looking at Miko, Miko also noticed that she was being watched.
Hmm...
Miko seems to know I'm looking at her...
The moment her eyes met Miko's, Lumine subconsciously withdrew her gaze in a hurry.
Although this made her look very guilty, it couldn't be helped; her behavior just now was completely subconscious and hadn't been thought through.
This girl...
Why is she looking at me?
Does she have something she wants to tell me?
Watching Lumine, whose eyes were dodging hers, Miko silently thought this.
Then, after thinking for a moment, she spoke up: "Oh my, I suddenly remembered there are some things at the Shrine that need doing. I need to find a girl to help me out."
"Find a girl? What kind of task has such strict limitations?" Paimon was obviously very confused by Miko's words.
"What would a little one like you understand?"
Without explaining to Paimon, Miko looked at Lumine beside her with a smile.
"Are you free? Lumine."
"Me? Yes, I am."
After freezing for a moment, Lumine quickly understood that Miko was creating an opportunity for the two of them to be alone together.
"Do you want Wendy to go help too?"
Without thinking much, Kaito directly asked Miko if she wanted Wendy to go help as well.
"No need, Lumine alone is enough."
Waving her hand hurriedly, Miko didn't want Wendy nearby.
After all, she wanted to talk to Lumine alone about some things; how could she let that little girl Wendy be there?
Of course, even if that weren't the case, she probably wouldn't let Wendy handle things with her anyway.
She felt that rather than letting Wendy help, it would be better to do it herself.
"What about me?"
Suddenly hearing that Miko only wanted Lumine to help, Paimon hurriedly asked this question. She didn't know if Miko even considered her a person.
"You just stay here and eat something with Kaito and the others. Look, there are so many delicious foods over there in the distance."
Saying this, Miko pointed her finger at several stalls selling various snacks in the distance.
So many...
Following the direction Miko pointed, Paimon indeed saw many stalls selling snacks.
It had to be said, she really wanted to go over and try them.
Although she had eaten a lot not long ago, it didn't stop her from wanting to eat now.
This Paimon...
She completely forgot about me the moment she saw food...
Also looking at those snack stalls in the distance, Lumine was very speechless.
Originally, she thought she would have to speak up herself to stop Paimon from following, but it turned out Paimon had already been attracted by the food before she even said a word.
But that was good too; this way, she could ask Miko.
"Then let's go eat a bit," Kaito spoke up at this moment.
Actually, he already sensed that Miko obviously wanted to say something to Lumine, so he said this.
Since they wanted to talk about something alone, he would help out.
"Then Lumine, you go help Big Sister Miko. I'll wait for you here."
Paimon, who was originally still hesitating, immediately decided to stay and eat after hearing Kaito's words.
Anyway, Lumine wouldn't run into any trouble with Miko accompanying her. She just needed to take her time eating here.
A guy who forgets loyalty for food!
At this moment, Lumine became even more speechless.
"Alright, alright, alright."
Although she felt very speechless, in the end, Lumine still weakly said 'alright'.
"Then let's go."
Saying this, Miko walked towards the Shrine, and Lumine hurriedly caught up.
However, before they had gone far, Miko stopped and turned back to say, "Then Acheron, I'll be leaving first. And Kaito, you guys take your time eating."
"Go ahead, Miko."
Makoto nodded.
Although She was a bit curious about what Miko wanted to do, She knew now was not the time to ask.
"Should we save a portion for you?" Kaito asked this question.
"No need, no need. There's still food at the Shrine."
Although she wasn't really taking Lumine back to the Shrine, Miko still answered like this.
Anyway, she could take Lumine to any place in the city to eat; it didn't necessarily have to be at the Shrine.
"Then I'll be leaving first, Kaito."
Listening from the side to what Miko said to Acheron and Kaito, Lumine mimicked her and said this to Kaito.
"Mm. You don't need to be so restrained when you're with Miko. She isn't the type of person who cares about etiquette."
Kaito nodded and incidentally taught Lumine how to get along with Miko.
"Why care so much about troublesome things?"
Miko retorted regarding Kaito's words.
Afterwards, the two left under everyone's gaze.
"Hehe, can we go eat now?"
Seeing that Lumine had already left with Miko, Paimon was eager to go eat.
Regardless of anything, eating was the most important thing right now.
"Go, go, go, let's go eat."
Looking at Paimon, Kaito smiled and walked towards the stalls in the distance.
"Yay!"
After cheering, Paimon hurriedly caught up with Kaito.
