Regardless of the circumstances, this had nothing to do with Her.
She only needed to guard Inazuma well; the affairs of other gods and other regions were none of Her concern.
However, Miko...
As She pondered, Ei suddenly thought of Miko, and Her gaze shifted toward her.
It had to be said that when it ca to Miko's affairs, She couldn't remain completely detached. It was just that She didn't understand these sorts of things.
Forget it...
If anything happens to Miko later, she will definitely co to find ...
Knowing that She certainly wouldn't understand such matters, Ei didn't continue this line of thought. She knew that if any situation arose in the future, Miko would tell Her. As for how to handle it then, they would cross that bridge when they ca to it.
It should be about ti...
Thinking that She had already shared a few cups of wine with the Anemo Archon, Ei felt it was sufficient. Coupled with the fact that the Anemo Archon hadn't sought Her out initially, and considering His personality, She felt Her current hospitality was adequate. If the Anemo Archon had any further requests, they could be conveyed by Miko or He could co to find Her directly.
"Then... I shall not disturb you further. However, if Lord Anemo Archon has any matters, feel free to find at any ti, or have Miko convey the ssage."
Saying this, Ei stood up.
At this mont, She suddenly recalled that when She left here not long ago, She seed to have said sothing very similar. But since it was already said, it was said; no one would say anything to Her about it anyway.
"Bye-bye~"
Without saying much else, Wendy simply said 'bye-bye', accompanying it with a wave of her hand.
"See you next ti."
Although Wendy had already said goodbye, Kaito still had to say his piece. After all, in the eyes of others right now, he and Wendy were two different people, so the necessary performance still had to be maintained.
"I'll see you off, Her Excellency, the Shogun."
Because the occasion was sowhat formal, Miko addressed Ei as 'Her Excellency, the Shogun'.
"No need. You just... continue to entertain Lord Anemo Archon... and... this Kaito."
When ntioning Kaito, Ei suddenly felt a bit unsure of how to address him, but after thinking it over, She decided to use his na. Actually, She wanted to say 'Miko's boyfriend', but She felt it was a bit strange, so She didn't say it aloud.
After that, Ei once again quickly departed from the shrine.
Even so, Miko still ran outside to confirm whether Ei had truly left. This was because for what ca next, her tone when speaking to Wendy would not be so polite, and she absolutely could not let Ei hear her speak in such a manner.
Ei should have left, right?
She wouldn't do sothing like hiding nearby to eavesdrop...
After running out to take a look, Miko, thinking this way, quickly returned to the room they were just in.
"Lord Anemo Archon, do you need more wine?" As soon as she entered, Miko asked Wendy with feigned politeness.
In reality, no matter what Wendy answered, she had no intention of fetching more wine.
"Then bring it all up for ."
Looking at Miko, Wendy didn't stand on ceremony, waving her hand directly to have Miko bring up all the wine.
Since Miko had asked, she certainly wasn't going to be polite about it.
"Dream on, little girl!"
Unexpectedly seeing Wendy being so unreserved, Miko laughed in anger and imdiately delivered a refusal. She had originally planned to say there was no wine left if Wendy asked for more, but she didn't expect Wendy to open her mouth so wide like a lion. Naturally, she couldn't let herself be outdone.
"Little girl? Believe it or not, I'll ask the Raiden Shogun to co and cure this little fox?"
Seeing Miko act this way, Wendy played her trump card directly. Although she could certainly defeat Miko in a fight, that would be boring; she wanted Ei to help beat Miko up.
"Hmph! As expected, you're just a little girl. What 'Lord Anemo Archon'? You only know how to tattle."
Miko's tone was quite contemptuous; she had long anticipated Wendy would do this, so she had prepared such remarks.
Yes, yes, yes, this little girl only knows how to tattle.
Saying this, Wendy actually stood up, looking as if she were really going to go complain to Ei. This caught Miko off guard.
Crap...
This girl actually isn't playing by the rules again...
Watching Wendy stand up, Miko imdiately felt that things were going south. She originally thought Wendy would fall for her goading, but Wendy simply ignored her.
What to do?
Right...
Kaito...
Her gaze subconsciously turned to Kaito, who had remained silent all this ti, and Miko wondered how best to speak up.
Hmm?
This guy...
What's with that expression?
Just as Miko was looking at Kaito, Kaito suddenly revealed a helpless expression, which made Miko a bit dissatisfied.
However, at that mont, Kaito spoke directly, "Alright, Wendy, sit down. Let's not go calling the Raiden Shogun back and forth."
"Oh, okay."
Upon hearing Kaito's words, Wendy let out an 'oh' and imdiately sat back down.
Sigh...
Annoying girl...
Suddenly at a loss for words, Miko lanted silently in her heart and sat down as well.
"Wendy, can you isolate the sound here so it won't be heard from outside?"
Thinking it was ti to talk about serious matters, Miko asked Wendy this question. Since Wendy was, after all, the Anemo Archon right now, she felt Wendy should be capable of such a thing.
Also, although the two of them had just gone through that earlier incident, when discussing serious business, it was better not to fuss over so many things.
Of course, she certainly thought this way, but she didn't know if Wendy would feel the sa. If Wendy was still dwelling on what just happened, then she would be out of options.
Hmm...
But it seems I was the one who started it...
Should I...
"Sure."
Just as Miko was wondering if she should apologize first, Wendy nodded very crisply, then waved her hand and continued, "Alright, now no one outside can hear our voices."
"Truly worthy of Lord Anemo Archon."
Actually, Miko wanted to say thank you, as Wendy was being very clear-headed about priorities, but she felt that would be a bit embarrassing, so she simply praised Wendy with that tone instead. Although addressing Wendy that way earlier had been a bit sarcastic, right now she genuinely felt that way.
"That's only natural. This Lord Anemo Archon isn't sothing a little fox like you can compare to."
Nodding with apparent satisfaction, Wendy accepted the praise quite happily.
This stinking brat...
Give her so sunshine and she thinks she's blooming...
At this mont, Miko's fist hardened again.
Originally, Wendy's impression on her just now had been quite good, but before long, this stinking brat exposed her true nature again.
Forget it...
Business is important...
After thinking about it, Miko felt she still couldn't lower herself to bicker with a little girl.
