This Miko... behaving all mysteriously all day long...
Staring at Miko, Ei couldn't help but think this as She observed her familiar's behavior.
Then, She said, "Then you go ahead."
Since Miko always enjoyed stirring up this kind of trouble, She would just let her be. If anything went wrong, Miko would be the one immediately dealing with the fallout anyway.
"I knew you were the best, Ei." Upon receiving Ei's answer, Miko, her face beaming with smiles, uttered such a sentence seemingly out of nowhere.
Ei: "???"
Ei, who had originally prepared to turn Her head and ask Makoto what They should do next, froze in place. She couldn't help it; She hadn't expected Miko to suddenly say something like that to Her.
"Then we're off." Seeing Ei's bewildered expression, Miko flashed a smile at Her, then turned and left with Mobius.
She really has always been like this...
That's fine...
Watching Miko's retreating figure, Ei thought silently. Regarding the question Makoto had just asked Her, She no longer had to worry about giving the wrong answer.
"Did Miko say where she was going?" At this moment, Makoto walked over and asked.
"She didn't say."
This time, taking the opportunity to answer the question, Ei turned Her head and saw Makoto watching Miko and the young girl walking away into the distance.
"Aren't you going to follow them? I don't know if any problems will arise." Withdrawing Her gaze, Makoto spoke to Ei with some worry. Right now, They still didn't know the purpose or origin of this strange girl, so letting Miko take her away alone still carried a certain degree of risk.
"Since Miko dares to do this, it shows she is confident," Ei answered quickly.
Although She hadn't seen Miko for a while during Her time in that space, Ei still understood Miko, after all. Even if Miko had undergone some changes during that period, She felt Miko wouldn't have changed so much that She wouldn't understand her anymore.
"But I am still a bit worried."
Thinking for a moment, Makoto still felt it wasn't quite secure. If She was really that uneasy, She hoped Ei could secretly follow behind.
"Then let's watch the situation from behind." Seeing Makoto constantly worrying about Miko, Ei had to offer this solution.
However, after thinking about it, She continued, "That girl gives me a very strange feeling, but I can't say exactly what it is. She shouldn't be human."
"Mm, I have that feeling too."
After hearing Ei's words, Makoto nodded. That girl gave Her the same feeling as Ei described; She also didn't know the girl's true origins.
Then She continued, "Maybe she really just came over to play."
"I hope so." Saying this, Ei's gaze turned toward the direction Miko had just departed.

On the other side.
Why does this feel like the road to the inn?
Following behind Miko, Mobius realized that Miko seemed to be taking her to the inn. And if that was the case, she felt she already understood what Miko was thinking. Clearly, Miko was taking her to find Kaito.
So I'm already this reliable in Miko's heart?
Looking at Miko's back, Mobius thought silently. There is just one problem. Right now, Kaito is still in Liyue engaged in battle with Lumine. Miko is obviously going to come up empty.
But if one insists, Kiana is actually there. She felt that perhaps she could have Kiana link up with Mobius here. Since they both belong to the Honkai, they simply had to interact a bit.
Thinking this, Mobius spoke up. "Are we there yet?"
"Don't rush, Little Sister, it's just ahead."
Walking in front, Miko answered without turning her head. However, although she answered like this, she was actually a bit worried that Kaito wasn't at the inn. After all, if that were the case, she would really have to take this little girl to some "fun place." Although that wasn't impossible, at that time she would really have to worry about what to do if this little girl actually made a move.
Kaito...
You better not be away...
It's so late, you should be back, right?
Thinking this, Miko subconsciously looked up at the sky. Because it was already night, the sky was pitch black.
It's surprisingly dark today...
Could it be because of that little girl? Is she that powerful?
No, no... I can't scare myself!
Feeling she was overthinking, Miko quickly stopped herself from thinking further. No matter what, she couldn't show that kind of behavior in front of Mobius right now.
"It looks like there's nothing around here." At this time, Mobius's somewhat suspicious voice came from behind again.
"We haven't arrived yet." Continuing to brush off Mobius, Miko was already thinking about what to do if Kaito hadn't returned yet.
Right... I wonder if that little girl Wendy is there?
Suddenly remembering Wendy, Miko very much hoped she would be at the inn right now. I have to say, the current Miko really missed Wendy, more than any other time. It was just that no matter how much she missed her, it was useless; Wendy couldn't hear her voice. And even if she heard it, maybe she wouldn't come instead. She still understood that little girl's personality.
Here we are...
Just in a moment of distraction, Miko found she had already arrived in front of the inn. Afterward, she turned to Mobius and said, "It's right inside."
"Doesn't this just look like an ordinary house? What's so fun about it?"
Just like arriving here for the first time, Mobius looked up at the building in front of her and voiced her suspicion. And regarding this, Miko was prepared.
"Oh my, why the rush? I'll go in and take a look first, don't you leave."
Although this excuse was clumsy, she knew Mobius definitely wouldn't just be scared away by her; she might even follow in.
"No way. I want to go in and see too."
Just as Miko expected, Mobius didn't intend to leave, and even wanted to follow inside.
"Then come on." Seeing Mobius like this, Miko was naturally in a good mood, only wondering if Kaito was there.
Hope you are there...
Thinking this, Miko walked in.
Inside the inn.
"I still can't see what's fun about this." Continuing to follow Miko, Mobius looked around boredly and made a remark.
Although she was actually very familiar with this place, she still had to pretend it was her first time.
This brat is so annoying. Just like Wendy...
Walking in front, Miko thought this silently.
Hmm, did it get bigger again?
