"You'll know if you ask."
Despite her thoughts, Acheron still gave this answer.
"I should say, even if I ask, I probably won't get an answer."
Although i had said as much, Miko still felt that way.
Of course, she would still ask when the ti ca.
Regardless, asking wouldn't cost her anything, so she might as well ask.
Hmm...
That guy Kaito...
Just how many girlfriends does he actually have?
Suddenly thinking of another question, Miko looked at i, preparing to voice it.
However, just as she looked at Acheron as if she had suddenly thought of sothing important, Acheron was looking right back at her.
Did this Miko think of so strange question again?
It was obvious that Miko had definitely thought of sothing.
"If you've thought of a question, just ask."
Seeing that Miko kept holding back despite having "I have a question" clearly written all over her face, Acheron couldn't help but tell her to just ask.
Anyway, she would answer what she could, and what she couldn't answer, she simply wouldn't.
"Ahem, actually, I just wanted to ask..."
As she spoke, Miko paused again, seemingly observing Acheron's reaction. Then, seeing that Acheron maintained the sa expression, she continued:
"It's just... exactly how many girlfriends does that guy Kaito have? Is it just the few I've seen now, including you? Or is it... far more than that?"
After speaking, Miko waited for Acheron's answer with a look of anticipation.
She knew Acheron might not necessarily answer this question, but she asked it anyway.
After all, there was still a slight possibility she would answer.
"So..."
Just as Miko was anticipating Acheron's answer, Acheron slowly uttered a "so."
So?
So what?
Stunned for a mont, Miko clearly hadn't expected i to answer her like that.
What is this situation???
"So what? i." Looking at i, Miko couldn't help but ask.
"So, do you want to be Kaito's girlfriend too?"
Miko: "???"
"Why would you ask that?"
At this mont, Miko truly didn't know why i would ask such a thing.
Oh...
This is a diversion!
Suddenly, Miko understood everything.
Yes, this was definitely just i changing the subject. It was only because the question i asked was too shocking that she hadn't reacted imdiately.
Oh my...
If you don't want to answer, then don't...
Did you really have to change the subject like that?
Feeling a little bit of disdain for i, Miko prepared to speak up and expose her.
However, before she could speak, i had already beaten her to it: "I think you asked that because you're preparing to be Kaito's girlfriend. After all, if there are many people, you can just join right in."
Miko: "???"
"Don't talk nonsense, i. If you don't want to answer, just—"
"Wendy has already told everything."
Before Miko could finish her sentence, Acheron had already interrupted her.
Everything?
Wendy?
As soon as she heard i say those two things, Miko imdiately recalled the events with Kaito in the hotel over in Inazuma City the day before yesterday, which made her feel incredibly awkward.
That stinking brat...
She actually told her about that...
At this mont, Miko really wanted to hit soone.
Although she knew i was saying this to change the subject, she still felt embarrassed.
It couldn't be helped; what happened back then was indeed a bit awkward.
No...
I can't just remain silent like this...
After thinking about it, Miko felt she still had to say sothing.
However, before she could get a word out, Acheron spoke up once again: "I didn't say that to change the subject. I just suddenly felt that you wanted to do that."
"But, i, you still haven't answered."
Stunned for a mont, Miko decided to listen to what i had to say first.
As for what she had prepared to say, she would wait until i finished speaking.
"As for my answer... indeed, it is not just the people you see now, including . There are others."
Looking at Miko, Acheron spoke slowly.
Because the number of people would definitely continue to increase later, her answer right now could only be that it wasn't just them.
But as for exactly how many more people there were, even she herself didn't know.
After all, who knew how many more Character Cards would be drawn in the future?
"Then... are they all very strong?"
Actually, upon hearing such an answer, Miko wasn't particularly surprised.
Or to put it another way, she had long anticipated this outco.
"Maybe."
After thinking for a mont, Acheron gave this ambiguous answer.
It couldn't be helped; she really didn't know about this. She couldn't guarantee that every card draw would result in a powerful Character Card.
Maybe?
Does this an... i actually doesn't know how many girlfriends that guy has either?
From Acheron's answer just now, Miko reached such a conclusion.
That philanderer...
Does he just fall in love with everyone he ets?
That guy...
Thinking of Kaito's massive harem, Miko couldn't help but think this.
To be honest, she could accept it if he just loved a few, but she would despise it if he fell for every single one he saw.
After all, love wasn't so kind of collection hobby.
"It's not as many as you're thinking. There are only a few more."
Just then, watching Miko deep in thought, Acheron spoke indifferently.
She knew that Miko must be wondering why Kaito had so many girlfriends.
Therefore, she felt it necessary to explain.
Anyway, it took quite a long ti to draw a card, and not every Character Card had to appear as a girlfriend.
Regardless, having too many girlfriends was obviously quite strange.
"Even a few more is already a lot. I've already seen four now."
Although she said this, Miko knew she had obviously exaggerated the number of Kaito's girlfriends in her imagination.
"Then, adding you makes five."
"Uh..."
Not expecting i to say that suddenly, Miko felt a bit awkward, but she still said, "I say, i, aren't you afraid that I..."
"I'm not."
"That's too much, i. I hadn't even finished speaking."
Knowing that i had guessed what she was going to say to cover her embarrassnt, Miko exclaid that i was going too far.
"Then call Big Sister i."
With a poker face, Acheron said this directly to Miko.
Big Sister i?
Big Sister Acheron?
Subconsciously, Miko imdiately thought of how Wendy addressed i.
She felt that this form of address wasn't simply about being sisters. Instead, it was likely an internal title among Kaito's girlfriends based on seniority or age.
All in all, was i including her within the scope of Kaito's girlfriends?
