"It should be this room, right? I wonder if i has changed rooms."
Standing in front of the room where i and Kaito had stayed before, Miko muttered to herself before knocking on the door.
"i, are you inside?"
Knock, knock, knock—
I wonder why Acheron ca back again...
Is sothing the matter?
Standing behind Miko and watching her knock, Lumine silently pondered this.
Back then, Kaito had suddenly asked her to co here and call Acheron, but even now, she still didn't understand why he did that.
Considering Acheron usually just appears on her own, why do I have to co call for her now? This is definitely strange.
But there's no point overthinking it. Acheron should be inside the room, and I'll find out why soon enough.
Creak—
Just as Lumine was thinking about Acheron, the door Miko had just knocked on opened from the inside, and Acheron walked out.
She didn't know why, but she felt that the Acheron standing before her and Miko now seed a little different.
Yet, she couldn't quite put her finger on what exactly had changed.
Strange...
Why does Acheron feel so different from before?
Staring intently at Acheron, Lumine tried to discern exactly what had changed.
"It's Miko."
At that mont, Acheron spoke.
Eh?
Does Acheron speak like that?
It had to be said, the mont she heard Acheron speak, Lumine was shocked. She never expected that she would one day hear Acheron use such a tone.
After all, Acheron's tone had always sounded very cold before, devoid of almost any emotion.
But now, she was hearing a tone from Acheron that was filled with emotion.
"Eh? i, why are you speaking to like that? I'm not dreaming, am I?"
Just like Lumine, Miko also clearly sensed that sothing was different.
In her experience, it was impossible for i to speak like this.
So...
What is going on here???
Staring at i with curiosity, Miko's face was filled with suspicion—genuine suspicion.
She beca even more puzzled, especially when she recalled that Kaito had specifically asked her and Lumine to co here to find i.
"We haven't seen each other in so many years. You've grown so big."
Just as Miko and Lumine were each feeling puzzled, Acheron spoke again. Her tone continued to sound like soone reuniting with an old friend after a long separation, all while she looked Miko up and down.
Miko: "???"
Lumine: "???"
"Eh... i? What's wrong with you? Did you lose your mory? Or do you have a fever?"
After being stunned for a long mont, Miko exchanged a glance with Lumine. Then, she reached out to touch i's forehead before touching her own.
"You don't have a fever either. Did that guy Kaito do sothing to you?"
Thinking about how Kaito was the one who sent her here, Miko imdiately felt that he was definitely up to sothing.
Hmm?!
Wait!!!
Suddenly, Miko thought of a possibility. She imdiately widened her eyes and stared at i, her voice even carrying a trace of disbelief.
"Are you... Makoto?"
Makoto???
Is that...
Soone's na?
Not expecting Miko to suddenly react this way, Lumine looked at her and then at Acheron, unable to stop herself from wondering.
She didn't know if there was anyone nad Makoto, but right now, it seed that was the case.
Sigh...
I really don't know anything, do I...
Sighing silently in her heart, Lumine lanted her lack of knowledge.
But...
Is this Kaito's way of letting in on so things...
Is that why he had co along with Miko?
Suddenly thinking of this, Lumine's mood instantly improved, though she still didn't understand the situation.
Is Makoto a person?
And what's going on with Acheron?
She didn't know what had happened regarding any of this.
But it didn't matter. At least she was present now, and she would know the answer soon enough.
"You guessed correctly, Miko of five hundred years later."
As she spoke, Acheron smiled at Miko. Then, looking as if she had suddenly realized sothing, she added, "But... has it really been five hundred years? It should be, right?"
After saying this, Acheron looked at Miko, appearing to wait for her answer.
"It has indeed been five hundred years, but..."
Staring at i, Miko stopped mid-sentence, frowning with a look of deep confusion. Then she continued, "Th... what is going on here? Is that... Makoto? Or i? That guy Kaito didn't put you up to this to trick , did he?"
It had to be said that Miko still had no idea what was going on.
Is this 'Makoto' actually i pretending?
Or...
Is i actually Makoto...
But she just forgot the past...
And now, for so reason, she has rembered it?
Or is this so trick played by that guy Kaito?
Thinking it over and over, Miko really didn't know which answer was the correct one.
Although she had previously wondered if i was actually Makoto, now that she suddenly saw i behaving exactly like Makoto, she couldn't determine if i really was Makoto.
