"Well... that is actually a bit of a long story." Seeing Miko ask this, Acheron, who looked as if she had been pondering sothing, replied in this manner.
Of course, she wasn't Acheron right now; she was rely borrowing her body temporarily.
To be honest, She never imagined that she would one day return to Inazuma in such a way. Who exactly was this girl nad Acheron? Why did she look so similar to herself? And why did she choose to help her...
And that person she ntioned nad Kaito...
All of this could be said to have left Makoto extrely puzzled. One had to realize, she was a god after all, yet she had encountered an existence that even she found baffling. Could it be that... they ca from that place? But if that were the case...
[We didn't co from there. Also, I'm going to talk to Miko now.]
Just as Makoto fell into deep contemplation due to Miko's question, Acheron's voice suddenly rang out. Of course, only She could hear what Acheron had just said.
"You two should co inside first; it's not convenient to talk out here." After saying this, Acheron turned and walked into the room.
Miko, standing behind her, remained motionless in her original spot. There was no helping it; she had been startled yet again. Because clearly, she had just heard the tone of voice belonging to the Acheron she was familiar with.
So... what on earth was the situation? Was Acheron just joking earlier? Still standing there, Miko couldn't help but think this.
"Miko, let's go inside." Standing behind Miko, Lumine saw her dazed and motionless, so she called out to her. Lumine still wore a face full of confusion, not knowing what had happened at all, so she wasn't reacting like Miko.
"Oh... okay." Turning around to look at Lumine, Miko, feeling she had no other choice, walked into the room.
Since she really couldn't figure it out, she might as well go in and see what Acheron had to say. If that scene just now was sothing that guy Kaito made Acheron do on purpose, she really wouldn't want to deal with him anymore.
Of course, if she could beat that guy Kaito, she would definitely want to hit soone. It was just helpless that there was a massive gap in strength between her and him, so she could only choose to ignore him.
Bang—
After Lumine finally walked in and closed the door, Miko, who had entered earlier and seen i already sitting on a chair, opened her mouth to ask, "Are you... i or... Makoto?"
Staring i up and down, Miko really wanted to discern whether this was Makoto or i. Or perhaps, i was actually Makoto. But if that were the case, why did two very different tones of voice appear from i just now?
"I am i." Looking at Miko, who was scrutinizing her, i, seated in the chair, answered faintly.
i? Yes... this is indeed i's tone of voice...
Miko froze for a mont; she could tell this was the tone i usually used. But if that was so, what was the situation just now?
Thinking about this problem, Miko decided to ask for clarity. "Then i, what was going on with you just now? Why speak like that suddenly? It made it seem as if... you had changed into a different person."
"Because it really was a different person." Acheron nodded at what Miko said.
"Huh?" Miko let out a subconscious sound, her face still full of doubt.
"It's like this..." Seeing Miko this way, Acheron decided to briefly explain how she had previously retrieved Raiden Makoto's consciousness from the Raiden Shogun and subsequently awakened Her.
After a while.
"So... that's how it is." It had to be said, Miko was truly astonished after listening to i's words. She never expected things to turn out this way.
Raiden Makoto? The Raiden Shogun's sister?
Listening silently from the side, Lumine was also shocked; she hadn't expected the matter she just got involved in to be related to the Raiden Shogun's sister. But it had to be said, this was thrilling—much better than staying in the inn doing nothing.
Hmph... so that guy Kaito was doing these exciting things before... and he didn't even call to join him... Suddenly feeling the thrill, Lumine thought this with so dissatisfaction.
However, she soon found a reason for Kaito. Could it be because of Paimon? Sigh... Paimon really wasn't up to par... doing nothing but eating and sleeping all day... Kaito must have been worried she would ss up his affairs...
Yes! That must be it! Although she hadn't even asked Kaito why he didn't bring her along, Lumine had already co up with a reason for him.
"Then... does Makoto count as dead or re..."
"Of course she's dead, and she's been dead for hundreds of years. Right now, she only exists as a consciousness; you know this very well." Before Miko could finish speaking, Acheron interrupted her, then continued, "So, I have a plan... no, Kaito has a plan."
"A plan? What plan?" Although she felt a bit disappointed by i's answer, Miko had accepted this fact a long ti ago, so she recovered quickly.
"It is to let temporarily beco the real Makoto."
The real... Makoto? Hmm! Miko, who had just been puzzled for a mont, quickly understood what i ant. Since Makoto's consciousness could now be realized through i just as if she were alive, then i at that mont would be the real Makoto.
And in that case, Ei would definitely be able to walk out of the shadows, right? Inazuma would also welco a new era.
Wonderful! Just thinking about what would follow, Miko felt genuinely happy. It was just that thinking about how i wasn't Makoto, she began to wonder again why i looked so similar to Ei and Makoto.
Could this... rely be a coincidence? Impossible, right... how could there be a coincidence to this extent... Thinking and thinking, Miko still felt this was definitely no coincidence.
Right... Makoto's consciousness... Could it be that... i is Makoto's... body? Suddenly thinking of this possibility, Miko felt it was very likely.
The real Makoto? What are they going to do? At this mont, Lumine started to feel confused again; she didn't understand the aning of Acheron's sentence. Moreover, she was thinking about whether she should say sothing; otherwise, standing here as a spectator the whole ti seed a bit off.
More importantly, if she didn't say anything like this, Kaito might not call her along next ti.
