"Is that so?" Looking expressionlessly at Miko, who seemed to be acting for Her sake, Ei asked indifferently.
No matter the time, She could never fully trust Miko's words.
"Of course. Otherwise, I would definitely be accompanying that guy right now." Looking at Ei before her, Miko nodded heavily.
In truth, she didn't know what she would be doing if she hadn't come to find Ei, but since she was standing in front of Her, she had to say this.
"It seems I've delayed your romance, Miko." Seeming to ponder something, Ei maintained Her cold tone.
However, for some reason, She felt Miko's previous statement was a bit strange.
But She knew one thing: She had no experience in that area, so She didn't say much more.
Since She didn't understand such lovey-dovey matters, it was better not to say too much.
"Oh my, Ei, how could that be? I can distinguish what is important. I'm not the type of person who falls into love and thinks of nothing but romance all day..."
"Enough. Do you know when your boyfriend's other... hmm..."
Stopping midway, Ei realized Her wording was a bit strange, so She switched to a different way to continue: "When will the person who looks very much like me appear? Did he tell you this?"
What kind of strange description is that, Ei...
But...
It is indeed the truth...
That philandering playboy...
Although Ei didn't finish Her sentence, Miko knew what She originally intended to say and silently roasted Kaito in her heart.
However, roasting aside, she still had to answer Ei quickly. "I'm not clear on this either, but it should be soon. After all, he has already arrived in the city."
As she spoke, Miko shook her head.
"Fine then. Go do what you want to do. Don't stay here when your heart isn't here." Saying this, Ei walked directly toward the outside.
Since She couldn't get anything out of Miko here, She would go find that Geo Archon, Morax.
Although She hadn't seen him for a long time, there was no other choice; She had to understand that young man right now.
Do what I want to do?
What do I have to do?
Not expecting Ei to say this, Miko was stunned for a moment and subconsciously thought about what she needed to do.
However, before she could figure it out, she suddenly realized that Ei seemed to be walking out, so she immediately turned her head around.
She's gone...
Did Ei go to find Kaito?
Looking at Tenshukaku, where only she remained, Miko couldn't help but wonder if Ei had gone to find Kaito.
Wait!
Did Ei go to find that Rex Lapis of Liyue?
Suddenly thinking of this, Miko hurried to think of what to do.
But actually, she didn't need to think about anything; what she needed to do now was to find Kaito.
It was just that she worried Ei might have left intentionally to observe what she would do next from the shadows.
Forget it...
I'd better go back to the shrine first...
But if Ei really is observing in secret, going back like this doesn't seem right either...
Walking slowly toward the outside, Miko, whose outward appearance betrayed nothing, was actually pondering what she should do next.
She was in a bit of an awkward spot right now; returning to the shrine felt wrong, but not returning felt wrong too.
Because if she went back, ignoring Kaito to return alone would obviously be very strange. But if she didn't go back, she would definitely have to find Kaito, which would feel a bit like she was tipping him off.
Sigh...
So troublesome...
When did Ei become so smart...
To actually use such a scheme...
Still walking slowly, Miko couldn't help but lament when Ei had become so clever.
In her impression, Ei wouldn't engage in so many stratagems.
Wait...
Could it be that I'm just fighting a battle of wits against the air?
Suddenly thinking of this point, Miko, who had already walked out, froze for a moment.
But soon, she continued to walk slowly.
Sigh...
Even if I'm fighting wits with the air, I must be cautious...
Otherwise, I'll turn into a dead fox...
But with Kaito, that guy, around, nothing major should really happen...
Although she felt she was currently overthinking things, Miko still maintained a cautious attitude.
She was still thinking about whether she should go directly back to the shrine or find Kaito next.
Right...
I can go find Kaito and then go back...
That would be very reasonable!
After thinking for a while, Miko realized she could completely do both, and it would look very reasonable.
Just like that, having finally decided on her next course of action, Miko continued walking slowly toward the place she had just come from.
After all, as Kaito's girlfriend, it was perfectly reasonable to speak with him before going back; no one could pick any fault with that.
Later, Miko arrived at the place Kaito had brought her to earlier.
I wonder if that noisy crowd has run off somewhere to eat again...
Before entering the inn, Miko looked up at the sky. Since it was already evening, she felt Kaito and the others might be eating or heading out to eat.
"Where are we going to eat? The food here should be delicious, right?"
While Miko was still looking at the sky above, a familiar voice drifted over from ahead.
Just as expected...
Hearing that familiar voice, Miko slowly lowered her head.
She remembered clearly that the sentence just now was obviously spoken by that little fellow who could fly and was extremely gluttonous.
It had to be said, that little fellow's mouth was truly sweet; calling her "Sister Miko" with every breath was very enjoyable.
However, that other little girl wasn't like this. Not only did she not call her Sister Miko, but she also roasted her from time to time. It really made one want to beat her up.
And more importantly, she couldn't do anything about that little girl; she completely couldn't beat her.
"It's Sister Miko." Just as Miko was thinking about Wendy with some helplessness, Paimon's voice reached her ears again, instantly improving her mood.
"Are you all getting ready to go out for dinner?" Looking at the group walking out, Miko asked with a smile on her face.
"Hehe, yes, Sister Miko." Paimon nodded vigorously.
Why is this Miko smiling so happily?
Looking at the smiling Miko ahead, Kaito was also curious why she was so happy.
And just as Kaito looked at Miko, Miko also cast her gaze over.
"Do you want to come along?" Seeing Miko's gaze project over, Kaito asked.
However, at the same time, he asked another question inside Miko's mind,
"How did it go? Did She ask you any questions?"
