Shrine.
"Sigh... Ei is definitely coming to find me soon."
In her own room, sitting face-to-face with Kaito while drinking tea, Miko said this while looking outside. Her gaze was fixed on the direction outside, as if Ei had already arrived.
"Isn't that a given? It would be strange if She didn't come."
Seeing Miko's seemingly worried expression, Kaito followed her gaze and looked outside as well.
Since they had intended for Ei to come find them in the first place, Kaito found Miko's behavior rather baffling.
"Oh my, can't I be a little worried? If I get discovered, I'll be dead meat, you know."
Saying this, Miko took a sip of tea and then refilled her cup. Although she said this, the expression on her face didn't match her words at all. Moreover, for some reason, Miko started staring at Kaito, as if trying to discern something.
"Would you turn into a dead fox then?"
For some reason, Kaito suddenly blurted this out.
Miko: "???"
"You guy!"
Not expecting Kaito to say such a thing, Miko couldn't help but extend her leg and stomp on Kaito's foot under the table.
She had spoken like that to see if Kaito would say something about protecting her, but hearing this inexplicable sentence was simply intolerable.
"If the Raiden Shogun insists on sacrificing you to the heavens when the time comes, I'll just take you and run."
Easily dodging Miko's attack from under the table, Kaito spoke in a leisurely manner.
Actually, he initially wanted to say he could just slaughter the Raiden Shogun and let Miko become the Shogun or something, but after thinking about it, he changed his phrasing.
"Take me and run?"
Although Kaito's words were still a bit strange, she had finally heard what she wanted to hear, so she continued to ask, "Run to where?"
"Anywhere is fine. I'm running around everywhere anyway."
Kaito answered almost without thinking. There was no helping it; he really was running around everywhere right now.
"So you're actually leading Mei and the others around aimlessly, and you just happened to run to Inazuma?"
Tilting her head as if thinking about something, Miko asked this.
"Sort of." Kaito nodded.
"Then why do you run around everywhere?" Miko continued to press.
Since she could learn more about this guy Kaito now, she naturally had to ask some proper questions, otherwise she would be wasting this good opportunity.
"Boredom. And isn't it nice to witness the local customs and practices of different nations?"
Smiling, Kaito's words could be said to come from the heart.
Before, he had always had such thoughts, but lacked the time and money to accomplish them. But things were different now; he had transmigrated and obtained powerful strength, so naturally, he could realize this original idea.
Witness the local customs and practices of different nations?
"I think you just want to witness the beauties of different nations, right?"
Regarding what Kaito just said, Miko immediately thought of Mei, Kiana, and Wendy. It was obvious that they definitely came from different places.
Coupled with what Kaito said, a reasonable idea quickly appeared in Miko's mind. If she guessed correctly, Mei and the others were girls Kaito had met in different nations.
Wait!
If I also...
In that case...
Wouldn't I become the girl this guy met here in Inazuma?
Yes! This guy definitely met Mei and the others this way! Absolutely!
After thinking it through, Miko confirmed that Kaito was definitely as she thought, even though she hadn't asked him.
"That's not wrong either. Aren't you a great beauty?"
Thinking for a moment, Kaito nodded and admitted to Miko's claim. Of course, this was a partial admission. After all, he wasn't just doing it to look at beauties.
And more importantly, he could actually look at himself now. Whether it was Wendy, Acheron, or Kiana, which one wasn't a great beauty?
It was just that Wendy's development was a bit lacking; she couldn't compare to Acheron or Kiana in any aspect. Although Wendy had a Metamorphosis form, that only enhanced the chest area; other places still couldn't compare to the other two.
It had to be said, Acheron's figure was truly perfect, having everything one could want.
This guy...
Why is he suddenly so smooth-talking?
Hearing Kaito's words, Miko was in a good mood. Although Kaito often said very blunt things before, and even recently, the sentence he just said was very nice.
Wait!
Isn't this just being lustful?
Suddenly thinking of this, Miko's mood soured again.
However, just then, a knock came from the door.
Knock, knock, knock—
"Lady Guuji, the Shogun is here."
Finally here...
Exchanging a glance with Kaito, Miko spoke up: "Understood, I'm coming out now."
"Let's go, the Shogun is here."
Standing up, Miko said this to Kaito. Since Ei had already arrived, she simply said this and started walking towards the door.
She was worried that Ei might suddenly appear while she was talking to Kaito, and it would be bad if She heard something. So, it was better to speak less now, or at least stop saying anything related to the plan.
"Mn."
With a hum of agreement, Kaito also stood up and walked out. He understood Miko's meaning, so he didn't say much, simply following silently behind.
Soon, the two ran into the Raiden Shogun.
"Ei, why are you here? Could it be that ever since you came to find me last time, you've started to like coming to see me?"
Walking in front, Miko looked somewhat puzzled. Even so, she was still joking. But clearly, Ei had no interest in joking with her.
Ei looked at Miko, then at Kaito behind her, and said, "Why did you go to the Kamisato Estate to eat breakfast this morning?"
Because she wasn't sure if Miko and her boyfriend knew about that person appearing near the Kamisato Estate, Ei didn't mention that matter directly at first. Instead, she asked why they were eating breakfast at the Kamisato Estate in the morning.
"Mn? Even this matter has been found out by you, Ei? Am I being monitored?"
At this moment, Miko looked very surprised.
Of course, this was feigned, and she knew Ei could tell she was feigning it. But it didn't matter; she was usually like this, and Ei was aware of it.
He stood before the window, gazing at the rain outside.
"When will this rain stop?" He whispered to himself.
Rainwater slid down the glass, forming curtains of water.
He sighed, turned, and walked toward the desk.
"Perhaps, I should write something."
