"Right..."
As if suddenly rembering sothing, Kaito stopped in his tracks.
"What is it? Kaito, are we not going to eat anymore?"
Seeing Kaito suddenly stop, Paimon, who was behind him, asked with so concern. There was no helping it; she was worried Kaito would suddenly change his mind and not go eat. That would be a huge loss for her.
"Of course not. I just wanted to ask your Sister Acheron if she wants to co eat with us."
Saying this, Kaito turned around.
Because Acheron was practically part of him, Kaito had subconsciously ignored Makoto's actual existence just now. He didn't know if Makoto would still eat food. After all, she had just eaten with Miko and the others a mont ago.
Sister Acheron?
Hearing Kaito's words, Paimon also looked at Sister Acheron behind them. For so reason, she suddenly felt that Kaito seed to have beco polite towards Sister Acheron, completely lacking that feeling of familiarity the two had before.
What is going on?
Ah... I get it...
They definitely had a fight!
After thinking for a mont, Paimon imdiately thought of a possibility. Although there was no obvious evidence, she still felt there was a high probability the two were fighting.
Of course, with the previous lesson from the Raiden Shogun in mind, she wouldn't voice her guess this ti.
"I will eat. Let us go."
Since She had intended to follow along anyway, Makoto naturally nodded, indicating She would eat as well. However, compared to eating, there was sothing She felt was more necessary to do. It was just that with others present now, it wasn't convenient for Her to ask about that matter.
"Then you guys go eat. I'm going to go wander around."
Just then, Wendy, who was to the side, suddenly spoke up.
"Go ahead."
Kaito nodded.
"Wendy really likes wandering around everywhere. Just like the wind."
Regarding Wendy's frequent wanderings, Paimon was already accustod to it.
"That is only natural."
After saying this sentence, Wendy imdiately vanished from her spot.
Of course, she wasn't really going to wander anywhere; it was rely to make it convenient for Makoto to ask Kaito questions. Although Paimon was still there, after what had just happened, presumably Makoto wouldn't care too much about her existence. After all, even if they discussed things right in front of her, there was a high probability Paimon wouldn't understand what they were saying.
"Like the wind? That is indeed quite nice."
Looking around as if searching for traces of Wendy, Makoto made this remark with so emotion. But this was perfect; this way She could ask about so things. Even if there was a little one nearby, She figured it wouldn't be a major problem.
Afterwards, the group walked together towards the snack stalls.
anwhile, on the other side, Miko and Lumine, who had been walking silently towards the shrine, finally broke their silence. Since they had already arrived outside the city, only the two of them were around.
"Alright, it is just the two of us here now."
Walking in front, Miko suddenly stopped. Then she turned around, a smile on her face, seemingly waiting for Lumine to speak.
"Yes."
Because she wasn't prepared, Lumine first nodded, affirming that this was indeed the case. Afterwards, the two just looked at each other, neither speaking up.
This little girl...
What is she doing?
Seeing the other party remain silent, Miko was sowhat curious about what she wanted to say to her.
It seems...
I have to say sothing...
Seeing Miko remain silent and just stare at her, Lumine knew it was her turn to speak.
"Miko, I want to ask sothing."
After building up her courage for a mont, Lumine spoke this sentence first.
"Seeing you so conflicted, I am quite curious." Miko maintained her smiling appearance.
Actually, she could roughly guess what Lumine wanted to say to her; it was undoubtedly related to Kaito. But as for the specifics, she had no clue.
"It is... how did you beco Kaito's girlfriend?"
Seeing Miko quietly listening to her, Lumine directly voiced her question. She knew she couldn't hesitate anymore; now was a good opportunity to ask this question.
Sure enough...
Upon hearing Lumine's words, Miko knew she had guessed correctly. Then she opened her mouth and said, "Well, I was quite curious about that guy when we were together, and then..."
"Then?"
Listening to Miko's words with wide eyes, Lumine really wanted to know what her next words would be.
"Then I beca that guy's girlfriend." After saying this, Miko laughed.
In truth, she felt Kaito hadn't denied it simply to uphold the words she had said to the Raiden Shogun; in reality, they weren't in that kind of relationship at all right now. However, since Lumine felt she needed to play matchmaker between her and Kaito, she didn't reveal that fact.
Hmm...
Should I tell her about what we did in the hotel that day?
Thinking back to that day, Miko debated whether to tell Lumine. Although Lumine wasn't from Inazuma and Miko didn't need to maintain her perfect image as Lady Guuji in front of her, saying that kind of thing was inevitably a bit embarrassing.
"So... simple?"
Stunned for a mont, Lumine hadn't expected the process to be so simple.
"Actually, I did one other thing too."
After thinking for a mont, Miko decided to tell Lumine about the events of that day. Of course, she definitely wouldn't ntion the intimate details. After all, she wouldn't tell anyone about that sort of thing even if it killed her, let alone sothing that might not have actually happened.
"What thing?" Following Miko's words, Lumine asked, looking very curious.
"It was when I stayed in a hotel with him before. I took a bath, and then I forgot to bring my clothes in."
In front of Lumine, Miko decided to modify the situation of that ti a bit.
"Then... and then?"
Her eyes widening involuntarily, Lumine was very curious about what happened next. Although she could roughly guess the ensuing plot, she still wanted to hear how Miko would say it.
"Then naturally, I ca out to find my clothes." Miko said this sentence as if it were a matter of course, as if it were very normal.
"So you wrapped yourself in a bath towel and ca out to let Kaito..."
"Oh my, that hotel wasn't very good. They didn't even have bath towels."
Before Lumine could finish her sentence, Miko had already said this sowhat helplessly.
Lumine: "???"
At this mont, Lumine was completely shocked. She never expected the situation to be like this.
Right...
There are still hand towels...
That should be able to cover a bit, right?
Could it be that Miko just...
Walked out like that???
