"Similar thing? What kind of similar thing? i."
Not expecting Makoto to give such an answer, Miko was also very curious about what these words ant.
However, after asking, she realized that this might have been said by the real i, and not by Makoto.
[Miss i, how should I answer this?]
Because She was rely repeating the words i gave Her, Makoto really didn't know the best way to answer Miko's question. She was even curious Herself why i would say that.
[Just say my na.] Acheron quickly provided an answer.
Na?
The na Acheron?
Subconsciously thinking this, Makoto spoke with a hint of doubt: "It is related to my na."
"i's na? Acheron?"
Upon hearing words that she couldn't distinguish as coming from Makoto or i, Miko imdiately thought of the na Acheron.
But soon, she recalled the full na i had ntioned to her before.
"Raiden i, Warden of the Forgotten River?" Miko recited i's full na while recalling it. "You are referring to this na, right?"
Raiden i, Warden of the Forgotten River?
So that is Miss i's full na?
And...
Warden of the Forgotten River?
I see...
Now Makoto finally understood why Miss i carried the na Acheron.
But there was one thing She was very curious about: was Miss i truly the Warden of that realm?
And more importantly, does that place really exist?
Wait a mont...
Could it be that I am able to stand on the soil of Inazuma once again precisely because of i's ability?
Suddenly thinking of this point, Makoto seed to understand sothing.
But even so, She still felt very surprised.
After all, shouldn't matters of life and death be governed by those two Archons?
Did sothing happen over these past few hundred years?
Mulling it over, Makoto couldn't help but think along these lines.
Raiden i, Warden of the Forgotten River?
Just like Makoto, Ei naturally understood the aning of this na, but the thoughts it triggered in Her were different from Makoto's.
There was no helping it; in Her line of sight, the person before Her was Acheron, and She couldn't yet be certain it was Makoto.
However, after hearing her na, She felt the probability of the other party being Makoto was higher.
"That's right." While Ei and the others were each thinking about their own matters, Makoto nodded.
Although She didn't look like She was pondering sothing like Ei and Miko next to Her, She was also puzzled. It was just that because She was currently 'Miss i,' She couldn't show her confusion.
But it didn't matter; She could ask Miss i directly.
[Miss i, are you... truly the Warden of that realm? And does that place really exist?]
Regarding matters of life and death, even as a god, She was unaware.
[You can consider it a taphor.]
After thinking for a mont, Acheron provided Makoto with this answer.
There was no helping it; she knew what place Makoto was referring to, but the actual situation wasn't that simple. Coupled with the fact that she didn't want to say too much about her abilities, she simply said it was just a taphor.
A taphor?
But Miss i's words felt like they held a deeper aning...
After receiving such an answer, Makoto couldn't help but think this way.
Although She wanted to continue asking, She knew Miss i probably didn't want to answer anymore, and since they hadn't known each other for long, She spoke up.
[I see, I think I understand.]
"Oh my, I didn't expect i to be an official. When can you take to the Forgotten River to sit for a while?" Miko suddenly said such a sentence at this mont, causing both Makoto and Ei to look at her.
"I can send you there right now, Miko."
Looking at Miko, Ei spoke faintly.
"No need, no need. How could I dare trouble Her Excellency, the Shogun? I'd better go with i."
Regarding Ei's words, Miko naturally rejected them.
She was actually just speaking casually just now; she didn't really want to go to a place one only visits after dying.
Of course, if i could take her there and bring her back in half a day, she would still want to see it.
As for Ei sending her there? Forget it. She didn't want a one-way trip.
"Then next ti." Seeing Miko say this, Makoto answered her without asking i.
Miko: "..."
Hearing these words, Miko felt sothing was strange. She didn't know if it was Makoto or i speaking to her right now.
If it was i, then perhaps she really could visit that place.
But if it was Makoto, then She was probably just playing along with her previous remark.
On Makoto's side, after finishing that sentence, She realized sothing was wrong, and then She asked i:
[Miss i, can you really take people to that place? I subconsciously agreed to Miko just now. I wonder if Ei will want to go too or sothing.]
[We can go, but it might not be the sa as what they are imagining.]
After thinking for a mont, Acheron answered in this way.
Eh?
Not expecting Miss i's answer to be like this, Makoto was also startled.
"I think it's better to send Miko over right now." Following Makoto's words, Ei looked at Miko as if She wanted to send her to that place imdiately, scaring Miko into hurriedly hiding behind Makoto.
"Ei, you are really bad. You aren't the Ei I know anymore."
Hiding behind Makoto, Miko didn't forget to continue bantering with Ei.
There was no helping it; with Makoto by her side now, she really couldn't resist going toe-to-toe with Ei.
Anyway, no matter what happened, Makoto would be there to cover for her in the end, so she felt she couldn't waste such an opportunity.
But contrary to what Miko thought, the current Ei did not show any anger. Instead, She looked at her—or rather, at Makoto—with a sowhat strange expression.
What is going on with Ei?
Did I say sothing too excessive?
Looking at Ei acting like this, Miko couldn't help but think this way.
Logically speaking, Ei should be angry or say sothing.
Miko...
Does she already know that she is Makoto?
Looking at the way Miko was hiding behind Acheron, Ei felt there must be sothing fishy about this.
However, She also knew that this might rely be proof that Miko and Acheron were very familiar with each other, and not what She was thinking.
But as for which situation it was, She didn't know yet.
Although logically speaking, if Makoto had truly returned, Miko would definitely tell Her, She knew Miko was not soone who could be judged by common sense, even when facing Her.
"You said yourself that you wanted to go. I was rely satisfying you." After being silent for a while, Ei finally spoke.
