"I feel like no matter how I answer, you'd say sothing like that."
Regarding Yae Miko's comnt about daring to admit it so casually, Acheron silently remarked this.
She knew that no matter how she responded, Yae Miko would express so surprise.
"Alright then, why did you do it? I have my reasons, so what are yours?" Now, Yae Miko wanted to know why i had specifically impersonated the Shogun.
Everyone has a purpose for their actions; it's impossible to do sothing without any reason at all.
"I can roughly guess your reasons. As for mine, you'd probably think I'm just bored and looking for fun."
After thinking for a mont, Acheron gave this answer.
Of course, she wasn't lying.
She really was bored and wanted to find sothing interesting to do, and she could indeed guess Yae Miko's reasons.
"Bored? What a perfunctory excuse." To be honest, for soone as serious-looking as Acheron to say sothing like that, Yae Miko could only see it as an excuse.
But such an excuse sounded quite cute—it was clearly the kind of thing soone who couldn't lie at all would say.
After all, if you're going to lie once, it should at least match your personality. Acheron saying sothing like that just seed extrely odd.
Although she had known i for less than a day, Yae Miko already had her figured out.
Wait!
She can guess my reasons?!
Because of i's second half of the sentence, Yae Miko almost forgot the first half, and only now did she suddenly realize sothing was off.
"Then tell , what are my reasons?"
"Excuse , please enjoy your al."
Just then, the food started arriving one after another.
"Then I'll just say it casually." Picking up what looked like a fried shrimp, Acheron continued, "You think that sweet-toothed fellow has strayed from the right path, and you want her to stop holing up at ho all day and get out more. But your position isn't suitable for telling her that, and even if you did, it might not work. Then...
Sigh... it has no taste..."
As she spoke, Acheron suddenly sighed, stunning Yae Miko, who had been wearing a surprised expression.
"No taste? Wasabi can have no taste?"
If i hadn't just said those words, she probably would have teased her, but right now, Yae Miko clearly wasn't in the mood.
She really couldn't figure out why i knew her thoughts.
Not to ntion, she looked so much like the real Ei.
Could it be...
Is she actually the returned Ei???
"This sauce must be so weird color, right?"
Since Yae Miko said it was wasabi sauce, Acheron guessed as much.
In her mind, wasabi was always sothing strange and bizarre.
Especially after Yae Miko pointed out it was wasabi, she felt like she had tasted so indescribable flavor, even though she hadn't tasted anything at all.
"Color? What are you talking about?"
Yae Miko was baffled by i's words and suddenly didn't understand what she ant.
Wait!
Could it be...
Suddenly thinking of this possibility, Yae Miko pointed to her clothes and asked, "Co on, what color is this?"
"Red."
As if sowhat speechless, Acheron quickly replied red.
She can see colors, can't she?
Unexpectedly, i imdiately nad the color of the clothing part she was pointing at, making Yae Miko wonder if she was overthinking it.
But she wasn't giving up: "What about this one? What does this an?"
As she spoke, Yae Miko pointed to the Vision on her ear.
Earrings?
This seems to be Yae Miko's Vision...
And it's Electro...
So it should be purple!
"Purple."
After so thought, Acheron gave her answer.
Since she didn't want to hide the fact that she could only see in color for red, she didn't act like it was classified information as before.
"It took you so long to na a simple color. That's strange."
No longer asking about colors, Yae Miko began pondering what was going on with her.
The first ti, i's answer was quick, normal for anyone, but the second ti it was odd—she clearly thought about it before concluding the Vision's color.
So, what was that for?
Right...
Visions of the sa elent have similar colors...
So just now, i was thinking about what elent my Vision is?
With that in mind, Yae Miko asked again, "One more ti, tell ...
"No need to ask more. I'll tell you directly: I can only see red; everything else is black and white."
This ti, Acheron didn't play the color-guessing ga with Yae Miko anymore and directly revealed that she could only see red.
Can only see red???
Right...
She has no sense of taste...
Her na includes Warden of the Forgotten River...
Could it be...
"You're not a dead person, are you?!"
Putting together all of Acheron's peculiarities, Yae Miko imdiately associated it with being dead, and then thought of Ei.
Wait, wait...
Why does this feel more and more off...
"Of course I'm not dead."
Unexpected that Yae Miko would directly treat her as a dead person, Acheron silently denied it.
She wasn't dead, but she could send people to die.
"Fine, dead people don't eat, but you do."
Suddenly calming down, Yae Miko looked at Acheron, who was eating, and said this faintly.
"So you're not eating?"
Seeing Yae Miko who hadn't eaten anything, Acheron asked this.
"I am."
With that, Yae Miko picked up a fried shrimp like Acheron and started eating heartily, completely ignoring any ladylike image.
Because of all the strange things about i, she had now decided to cooperate with i to save that shut-in.
Of course, during this, she wanted to see exactly what connection i had with Ei.
So, their cooperation was now a must.
"i, after we finish eating, can you co with to a place?"
As they ate, Yae Miko asked Acheron a question. She wanted to take her to the Kamisato Estate.
There, she would discuss her plan with those two Kamisato siblings.
She had saved the Kamisato Clan once before; it was ti to call in the favor.
"Where to?"
Acheron had actually already guessed where it would be.
"The Kamisato Estate. You've been there; don't tell you've forgotten."
"Sure, no problem."
Acheron nodded.
