"Sigh..."
"Those girls behind will definitely be gossiping about in secret..."
Watching the shrine maiden walk away, Miko thought this silently. Previously, she had been very careful about maintaining her image, but now, that image seed to be teetering on the edge of collapse. Of course, this was all that guy Kaito's fault.
However... Does Ei actually know about the fact that the brat Wendy is Kaito's girlfriend?
Miko was genuinely curious about this question. But she knew that being curious here was useless; she had to go over there. "Alright... Hurry up and take the wine over... Otherwise, I'll definitely get a scolding from Ei..." Thinking this, Miko began to move.
On the other side, Kaito, Wendy, and Ei had already sat down. Of course, this really only counted as two people—compared to before, it was just minus Miko, with no other changes. However, Ei certainly didn't know this; right now, She was still wondering about the exact relationship between Kaito and Wendy. Although She wasn't overly surprised by their acquaintance due to Kaito's imnse strength, She had still beco curious.
"Say, Kaito, what are you doing here?" Just as Ei was feeling curious, Wendy spoke up.
Ei: "?"
It had to be said, this tone from the Anemo Archon really shocked Ei. Right now, She felt the Anemo Archon's tone was very gentle, as if it were a tone reserved only for a very close person. This... What is this situation???
The hand that was just about to pick up the teacup froze in mid-air; Ei was truly astonished. This human... What exactly did he do? No... What did the Anemo Archon do?
The current Ei felt as though the Anemo Archon had done sothing incredible, only She couldn't bring Herself to ask. Although they appeared to have no scruples in front of Her, She still found it difficult to inquire. After all, She couldn't very well ask, "What is your relationship?"
And more importantly, didn't the Anemo Archon previously appear in a male incarnation? Why had He changed into a female incarnation now? Hmm... But the Anemo Archon's incarnation back then did seem a bit feminine...
The hand that had frozen in mid-air continued to extend and finally picked up the teacup; Ei thought a lot during this interval. But no matter how much She pondered, She couldn't figure out what had happened to the Anemo Archon in these past years. And this human nad Kaito... Is he really just a human?
"Right... Does Miko know what's going on?" Suddenly thinking of Miko, Ei subconsciously looked toward the entrance, wanting to see if Miko had arrived. However, the entrance remained empty; Miko's figure had not appeared.
"This Miko... What exactly is she doing? Surprisingly so slow..." Recalling Miko's strange reaction just now, Ei felt there was a problem sowhere.
"There was a misunderstanding with the Raiden Shogun earlier; we resolved it here." Under Ei's close watch, Kaito slowly answered Wendy's question.
"Misunderstanding? What misunderstanding?" Wendy continued to ask.
"Just a small misunderstanding." Smiling, Kaito continued the conversation with himself.
"Misunderstanding..." Hearing Kaito say this, Ei subconsciously recalled the earlier events. It had to be said, that was indeed a misunderstanding, but regarding the Anemo Archon's attitude, She was truly a bit curious. In Her view, the Anemo Archon seed to really want to know exactly what this misunderstanding was. Was it rely curiosity?
Sipping the tea lightly, Ei couldn't help but think this. She was becoming more and more curious about what had happened to the Anemo Archon over the years.
"So what exactly was this small misunderstanding?" It seed Wendy still wanted to get to the bottom of it. Then, she turned her head to look at Ei and asked, "So, Raiden Shogun, what was this misunderstanding? I'm very curious."
"Actually asking ... Is He that curious about this matter..." Putting down the teacup, Ei obviously didn't expect the Anemo Archon to ask Her directly. She then replied, "It was just that I thought this... Kaito... um... bewitched Miko, so we fought."
"Bewitched Miko?" Repeating what Ei just said, Wendy looked as if she was contemplating sothing. "Is it because she said she is this guy's girlfriend?"
Saying this, Wendy pointed at Kaito beside her without turning her head.
"This guy?" Hearing the change in how the Anemo Archon addressed that human, Ei found things seed increasingly complicated. Just now it was 'Kaito'... Now it's 'this guy'... Hmm... What happened?
Honestly, Ei was now truly planning to ask and clear up the doubts in Her heart.
Da da da—
"I'm here, honored guests." Just at this mont, accompanied by the sound of footsteps, Miko's voice drifted in. Soon after, her figure appeared directly at the entrance, holding a pot of wine in her hand.
"Kaito's girlfriend is here."
Before Miko could even step inside, Wendy's voice drifted out leisurely from within.
"Uh... What is the situation now?" The figure just about to walk into the room froze abruptly; Miko already sensed from Wendy's voice that the situation was a bit off. "Crap... Is this stinking brat jealous?"
Soon, Miko discovered the crux of the problem. But right now Ei was right there, so she couldn't explain. No matter what, she couldn't say in front of Ei that her being Kaito's girlfriend was actually a lie; if she did, she would definitely be done for.
"Wait... Didn't this stinking brat not care? Why does she care now?" Suddenly rembering previous events, Miko felt baffled. Clearly, Wendy didn't seem to care at all before, so why did she look like she cared a lot now? What's the situation?
"Forget it..."
"Oh my, Lord Anemo Archon, drink up, drink up." At this mont, since neither admitting nor denying was a good option, Miko simply avoided the question, walking straight in and pouring wine for Wendy.
No matter what, let's drink first; this is the most important thing. As for other matters, there will be plenty of ti to talk later.
"Yes, let's drink first. I have to taste what's different about this wine."
Just then, Kaito picked up the wine Miko poured for him and drained it in one gulp.
"This guy is finally reliable for once..." Glancing at Kaito who was drinking, Miko couldn't help but think this. And seeming to be influenced by Kaito, Wendy also picked up the wine cup and started to drink.
"This girl... Can she really drink?" Watching Wendy drink, Miko felt she probably couldn't handle it.
