Actually, Ei was still quite curious about whether Makoto had truly remembered anything from the past.
It was obvious that when Miko mentioned Her name just now, She didn't reject this original name of Hers.
However, Ei also knew that although Makoto hadn't rejected the name, She hadn't acknowledged it either. In short, the current She neither admitted nor denied it.
"Oh, so it really is Makoto. I thought 'Makoto' was just a suggestion," Mobius remarked, looking a bit disappointed after hearing Ei's thoughts.
"Who would have a name like that?" With a hint of a smile in her voice, Miko suddenly looked very serious and asked, "So... what is your name, little girl? It's time to spill it, right? We've already told you ours, don't try to weasel out of it!"
After speaking, Miko put on a very serious expression, as if she might do something if Mobius didn't answer.
"Me..." Looking at Miko, Mobius wore a smile on her face. "Mobius. How is it? Good name, right?"
Mobius?
I wonder if there's any meaning behind it...
For some reason, Miko felt that this girl's name contained some hidden meaning. And she had to admit, it was indeed a pleasant-sounding name.
"Yes, yes, it is indeed a nice name, but..." Miko stopped halfway, seemingly wanting Mobius to ask her proactively.
"But what?"
Knowing Miko wanted her to ask, Mobius played along. Since Miko wanted her to ask, she would ask; it was a small matter.
"But does this name have some meaning inside?" Seeing Mobius cooperating so well, Miko was in a good mood and voiced her doubt.
"What meaning?" Mobius muttered as if to herself, then put on a thoughtful expression before finally continuing, "Infinity."
"Infinity?"
Almost as soon as Mobius finished speaking, Miko repeated Mobius's answer.
There was no helping it; this 'Infinity' was somewhat close in meaning to the 'Eternity' that Ei pursued. Especially since Mobius didn't look like an ordinary person at first glance, this made the concept of 'Infinity' seem even more special, making Miko very curious as to why it meant that.
"Yes, Infinity." With a mysterious smile, Mobius looked at the surprised and curious Miko and repeated her answer.
She knew Miko definitely wanted her to explain this 'Infinity,' but she wasn't such an easy talker. And more importantly, she had to maintain a sense of mystery.
Is this little girl just acting mysterious?
Looking at Mobius's mysterious smile, Miko couldn't help but think this.
Although she hadn't asked yet, she felt that asking would be useless; she definitely wouldn't get any useful information.
"So what does this infinity mean? And why did you pick this name?" Just as Miko was thinking that asking was useless, Makoto beside her had already asked.
This little girl definitely won't answer...
Glancing at Makoto, Miko thought silently. However, since Makoto had already asked, she would just wait for Mobius's answer. Actually, she still had a tiny bit of expectation, hoping Mobius could explain it.
"Infinity is just infinity. Do you not understand such a simple meaning?"
Her tone sounding very speechless, Mobius gave this answer.
Sure enough, she doesn't want to say...
Miko wasn't surprised by this answer. Obviously, this little girl was just fudging things because she didn't want to tell them.
"Is that so..." Not revealing whether she picked up on Mobius's reluctance to answer, Makoto just replied faintly, making it hard to guess what She was thinking.
"Maybe this little sister is just a bit delusional, you know, 'chuunibyou'. There's no such thing as true infinity; even gods can't achieve that."
Suddenly laughing, Miko spoke as if talking to herself, yet also as if speaking to Ei. Of course, she also wanted to try goading Mobius, to see if she could extract more useful information, even if the probability was low.
Anyway, there was no loss in trying; might as well give it a shot.
"Indeed." Makoto nodded at Miko's words, while Ei continued to remain silent.
Just like that, after Miko finished speaking, the four of them stood together without saying a word, looking a bit strange.
"Hey, hey, hey, didn't you agree to take me to get something to eat? Why did you all suddenly stop talking?"
Looking very confused, Mobius voiced her dissatisfaction to Miko and the others.
"Then let's set off now." Acting as if nothing had happened, Miko glanced at Makoto and Ei, then looked at Mobius and spoke very loudly, as if embarking on some important mission.
Then, as if she had discovered something incredible, Miko stared straight at the object Mobius was sitting on.
"Speaking of which, what is this thing you're sitting on? It can actually maintain a floating state continuously. Can I sit on it?"
After speaking, Miko took a step forward, seemingly ready to sit on it.
"That is, of course... not allowed." Deliberately pausing, Mobius rejected Miko's request, and she didn't explain what the object was either.
She won't even explain this thing...
This little girl...
What exactly is her background?
Though her expression remained unchanged, Miko couldn't help but wonder, her internal curiosity growing stronger. But there was no helping it; right now, she obviously couldn't learn more about the situation.
So...
Let's just take her to eat as mentioned before, and see if I can find out more later.
Thinking this, Miko spoke up, "Forget it, let's not talk so much. Let's go, my treat."
After speaking, Miko checked the direction and started walking toward the city. After taking a few steps, she turned back and continued, "Hurry up, hurry up, don't let this little sister starve."
"Big sister, don't walk so fast." After Miko turned back, Mobius said this and floated toward her at the same time.
"I say, Mobius, little sister, floating around at night like that might scare a lot of people, especially in pitch-black places."
Seeing Mobius floating toward her, Miko teased. Of course, this wasn't just teasing; she felt that such a thing could genuinely happen.
"So, Big Sister, are you calling me a ghost?"
"I didn't say that."
