[How could I forget you knew this trick...]
Miko was initially stunned when Kaito's voice rang out in her mind, almost thinking she was hallucinating.
Then, she continued speaking to Kaito in her mind, [Actually, she just asked some trivial things, or rather, questions I didn't know how to answer either.]
[You didn't know how to answer? Wouldn't that raise suspicions?]
Although he said this, there was no panic in Kaito's voice, as if he were discussing a very ordinary matter.
Moreover, while he and Miko continued their mental exchange, the group was already heading towards the place to eat.
Except for Paimon, whose heart was set only on eating, as well as Kiana and Wendy, the remaining one, Lumine, looked somewhat curiously at Kaito and Miko.
Hmm...
Strange...
Why have they both stopped talking...
And Miko didn't even answer just now about whether to join us...
Watching silently from behind as the two suddenly walked together toward some destination, Lumine was genuinely curious about what they were doing.
However, Lumine soon thought that perhaps this was a tacit understanding between the two.
Just like Kaito with Kiana, or with Wendy and Acheron, they also shared a strong tacit understanding.
As for herself, it seemed no such tacit understanding existed.
Why don't I have it?
Even though we met earlier...
Lumine found this issue quite strange as well.
But there was no helping it; she couldn't really ask Kaito such a question.
After all, she couldn't just say, "Why do only the two of us lack chemistry?" That would obviously be very weird.
"What's wrong? Lumine, is something the matter?"
Just then, Kiana's voice suddenly came from beside her.
"Huh? No, no."
Turning her head to look, Lumine realized Kiana had gotten very close to her without her noticing, causing her to hurriedly wave her hands to indicate she was fine.
"Is it really nothing?"
Looking at Lumine and then at Kaito and Miko walking at the very front, Kiana asked again.
Actually, she knew Lumine definitely wasn't telling the truth, but right now Kaito needed to discuss the Raiden Shogun matter with Miko first.
But it was fine; the Raiden Shogun was just going to find Morax to ask about Kaito, which wasn't a big deal.
Or to put it another way, it was hard for anything to be a big deal to Kaito nowadays.
"I just feel like Kaito and Miko seem to have a lot of chemistry. They started walking together before they even finished speaking just now."
After thinking about it, Lumine voiced her internal confusion.
Since the other party was Kiana and they were all girls, there was nothing she couldn't say.
More importantly, she was only expressing her doubt and hadn't voiced her other thought.
"That? Why don't you just ask him later? Right?" Saying this, Kiana smiled and looked towards Kaito.
After all, speaking in someone's mind wasn't anything special, so if Lumine asked, Kaito would naturally answer.
As for why Kiana didn't answer directly, she felt that Lumine seemed to hold back some things from Kaito, so she wanted to see if Lumine would actually go ask Kaito about this later.
If push came to shove, she, or perhaps Acheron and Wendy, would have to have a good talk with Lumine.
After all, the dynamic between women is very different from that between women and men, just as Miko acts very differently in front of Acheron compared to in front of Kaito.
However, this statement applies to men as well.
Topics between the same sex are always different from those between opposite sexes.
[So... is it really okay?]
Just as Kiana was thinking about matters related to Lumine, Miko couldn't help but ask Kaito this.
Of course it's okay...
Thinking this, Kiana cast her gaze toward Miko walking ahead.
[Don't worry, it's no problem. I'm very familiar with Morax.]
Although Kiana had expressed "no problem" in her heart, her words couldn't reach the exchange between him and Miko.
[You're familiar with that Geo Archon?]
[Yes, why?]
Kaito could hear that Miko seemed quite surprised.
[Nothing, I just feel like you seem to be familiar with every god, and...]
[And what?]
Miko obviously had something to say, so Kaito asked subconsciously.
[And if I hadn't met that Geo Archon myself, I would have thought... Forget it, better not say it.]
Stopping halfway, Miko ultimately didn't say it.
There was no helping it; she felt that would be disrespectful to the Geo Archon, so she didn't continue.
[Why? Afraid the Geo Archon will slaughter you? You don't need to worry about that. He'll only pretend to be an ordinary person and discuss the issue of the Geo Archon Morax with you; he won't hit people.]
Because he thought Miko was going to badmouth Morax, Kaito said this to her.
Pretending to be an ordinary person?
It seems this guy understands the Geo Archon very well...
Regarding Kaito's words, Miko silently came to this conclusion.
After all, since he even knew about the Geo Archon pretending to be an ordinary person, it proved they were very familiar.
Of course, it was also possible that Kaito had discovered the Geo Archon pretending to be ordinary.
But regardless, judging from his tone, they should be very familiar.
Now, Miko was finally relieved.
In any case, she didn't want to turn into a dead fox.
Right...
Suddenly thinking of a question, Miko continued to ask:
[Kaito, when do you plan to let Mei come here to meet Ei?]
[No rush. Isn't the Raiden Shogun off to Liyue right now? Let's wait a bit first.]
Because Acheron was currently attempting to awaken Raiden Makoto's consciousness directly without letting it vanish so quickly, Kaito spoke thus.
Once Acheron succeeded, he would immediately tell Miko about it.
No rush?
That's fine too...
Let Ei panic a bit first...
Staying in that space for so many years without coming out... Really...
Thinking about it, Miko felt Kaito's idea was not bad.
Since Ei couldn't do anything to Kaito anyway, let Her be anxious for a while; Miko would just watch the show silently from the sidelines.
Wait...
I seem to be able to find an excuse to go to Liyue to check the situation...
And incidentally find out what this guy did in Liyue...
Suddenly thinking of this, Miko became somewhat impatient.
Whether to check on Ei's situation or to understand Kaito, both were good choices.
Since Ei's intention to find Liyue's Geo Archon was very obvious just now, it would be reasonable for her to go take a look.
Kaito had just said that Ei wasn't observing in secret, so She should be in Liyue right now.
