"Alright, let's chat about that sort of thing slowly later on. For now, let's get back to business."
Not expecting Makoto to bring up such a topic, Acheron also stepped in to suggest they continue that conversation later.
Regardless of anything else, focusing on the main matter at hand was the priority right now.
"Oh, right..."
"I haven't answered Lumine's question yet..."
Just as she was about to dive straight into the topic, Acheron suddenly rembered she hadn't responded to the question Lumine had asked earlier. Thus, she spoke up: "We'll talk to Kaito about his situation later. For now, let's discuss things amongst ourselves first."
"Is that so? I understand."
Knowing that Acheron was speaking to her, Lumine nodded.
However, she was still very curious as to why Kaito hadn't co along with them just now.
Even though they were about to start discussing their next steps, he still wanted to go shopping.
Wait...
Is this how they usually did things before?
And knowing Acheron, he must be very reassured, right...
Suddenly thinking of this, the doubts in Lumine's heart alleviated significantly.
We absolutely cannot talk about that kind of thing anymore!
Regarding the remark i had just made, Miko imdiately thought this in her heart.
It was already awkward enough the first ti; she wouldn't be able to handle it if it happened again.
Of course, she didn't voice these thoughts directly.
There was no helping it—if Makoto really wanted to continue asking, she would have no choice but to answer.
"So, i, do you have any ideas?"
Although she really wanted to complain about i saying 'next ti' earlier, Miko proceeded to start the discussion on the main business.
She knew that if she kept talking, Makoto would definitely continue asking strange questions. It was better to quickly shift the conversation to another topic; she didn't want to be interrogated about weird things anymore.
Moreover, she was curious about what ideas i would have next.
Should we let Makoto appear directly in front of Ei?
But if we do that, should Makoto pretend a little first...
Or should we just tell the truth directly?
Looking at i, Miko pondered the events they would soon have to face.
She felt that with Makoto present, Ei would likely no longer pursue the Eternity She had defined for Herself in the sa way as before.
However, if there was a chance to tease Ei, she would absolutely play along.
Regardless, such an opportunity was truly once in a lifeti; she absolutely could not miss it.
If she missed this chance, it would be far too difficult for her to try and tease Ei on her own next ti.
"As for ideas, I think either Makoto appears directly in front of Ei, or perhaps She pretends to have amnesia or sothing similar. What are your views?"
Since she had previously played mysterious in front of Ei, Acheron felt they could follow that thread of mystery and continue acting out a play with Ei.
Of course, simply having Makoto and Ei acknowledge each other was also a decent idea—simple and clear.
[Pretend to have amnesia?] Makoto beca interested in this idea.
Actually, it was mainly because She wanted to use a different identity to see how Ei was doing now.
If She appeared directly as Makoto, Ei would likely just listen to whatever She said because She had returned. That would deprive Her of the opportunity to observe the current Ei from the perspective of a bystander.
Right...
I can let Makoto's voice appear directly...
At this mont, Acheron suddenly rembered that she could allow Makoto's voice to manifest directly in reality, without needing to constantly borrow her body to speak.
"If you have any thoughts, just say them directly. They can all hear you."
"Huh? Are you talking to ?" Suddenly hearing i's voice, Miko asked subconsciously.
Because right now, aside from herself, only Lumine was here. As for Makoto, She currently had to borrow i's body to speak, so there was a high probability i was talking to her.
But if that were the case, i's words were a bit strange.
What did she an by 'they can all hear you'?
"So, others can actually hear what I say?"
Just as Miko was confused, Makoto's voice suddenly appeared in the air.
This caused Miko to subconsciously look around.
"Makoto?"
Seeing nothing around her, Miko turned her gaze back to i. "Are you Makoto now? Why do you keep switching back and forth?"
Looking at i, who was clearly not acting like Makoto, Miko couldn't help but frown.
"I am i right now, not Makoto."
"Huh? Then just now..."
"It seems Miko can hear speaking. Just now, Acheron... Co to think of it, does Acheron also have the na i?" At this mont, Makoto's voice appeared once again.
"Call whichever you prefer."
Regarding the issue of how she was addressed, Acheron indicated it didn't matter.
"So Makoto can actually speak directly now?"
At this mont, Miko finally understood what was happening.
But even so, there was one thing she still couldn't figure out.
If Makoto could speak directly, why did She and i still have to keep switching back and forth?
"If Makoto can speak directly, why did you two keep switching?"
"I forgot," Acheron answered quickly.
Miko: "..."
Looking at i, who was answering her with a completely straight face, Miko was speechless.
However, after thinking about it, this indeed seed like sothing i would do, so Miko felt it was acceptable.
Anyway, if the person in question was i, then anything could happen.
"Miss i seems quite different, doesn't she," Makoto's voice rang out again, only this ti Miko was finally no longer curious about the situation.
However, she was curious about Makoto's form of address for i. "How co you're also calling her i now, Makoto?"
"Am I not allowed to?"
"Of course you can, I'm just curious. Before, you were always calling her 'Acheron, Acheron'."
"It was Miss Acheron!"
"But you aren't calling her Miss i now either." Talking to Makoto was relaxing for Miko; it was simply different from talking to Ei.
"It makes us seem a bit closer," Makoto answered.
Acheron: "..."
Silently listening to the conversation between Miko and Makoto, Acheron felt that whenever they chatted, they would always drift off to other topics.
Just like now—the topic between the two was already tens of thousands of miles away from the matter she wanted to discuss.
Forget it...
Let them talk...
Thinking that the two hadn't seen each other for a long ti, Acheron thought to herself and didn't speak up to stop them.
Anyway, he wasn't in a hurry, and they weren't in a hurry, so there was no need to rush.
It was just that Lumine might be a bit anxious; she wanted to do sothing.
Hmm...
What would be good to assign to her?
Thinking about this, Acheron fell into deep thought.
Regardless of anything else, this ti she really had to arrange sothing for Lumine to do, otherwise, the girl would be too bored.
"Alright, alright, i is still waiting for us to discuss business."
Noticing that i was standing in front of her with a posture of waiting, Miko imdiately spoke up.
Conversations could be had later; right now, it was better to quickly decide on what they were going to do next.
