Come to think of it...
Maybe I should go and pick up some pointers from Miko...
Learn a thing or two from her...
Still mulling over that scene with Miko just now, Lumine suddenly had this sort of thought.
Because she felt that she could do something like that too, that was how the notion came about.
"It'll definitely be better than yours, Lumine." Just as Lumine was still turning it over and over in her mind, that line from Miko snapped her back to her senses.
Better than mine?
What's better than mine?
Thinking this almost reflexively, Lumine turned her gaze toward Miko, who was wearing a face full of smiles.
She was very curious about just what Miko was talking about.
"Could it be that you're going to make some progress too, Miko?" At this point Kaito also chimed in with a line that made no sense whatsoever.
"What are you two talking about? Why can't I follow any of it?"
Assuming she'd been so lost in her own thoughts just now that she'd missed part of the conversation, which was why it all sounded so baffling, Lumine decided to just ask.
"You actually can't follow it? Lumine, you're not just putting on an act, are you?" Seeming a little surprised, Miko's tone carried a note of suspicion, as if Lumine really were exactly as she'd described.
"How could I possibly follow it when you two keep saying such cryptic things?" Seeing them both looking at her, Lumine immediately said this.
She noticed that both Kaito and Miko seemed curious as to why she would say that, which left her even more bewildered.
Just now they said something about better than mine, and about progress...
Hm?
After thinking back once more on what Miko and Kaito had just said, Lumine seemed to understand something.
"So you two were talking about that sort of thing — it had no lead-up and no follow-through, so I just didn't react to it for a moment."
Once she'd figured out what was going on, Lumine offered an explanation.
No matter what Miko might say next, the fact was simply that she hadn't caught on at first.
"Oh, so that's how it is."
First putting on a look of sudden realization, Miko quickly let a strange smile spread across her face, as though Lumine had done something odd.
"Of course that's how it is."
Knowing what Miko was thinking, Lumine continued to insist it was just as she'd said.
"Then aren't you afraid mine will be better, Lumine?" Miko asked again.
Although she didn't put it in plain terms, she knew Lumine would surely understand.
Because they were outside right now, she still had to be a little careful.
And of course, there was also the fact that Kaito was right there beside them.
Even though she was the one who did that sort of thing with Kaito, she didn't want to act in front of him the same way she did in front of Lumine.
Say what you will, it was still different.
Lumine: "..."
Don't tell me you want us to rank who's better at that sort of thing?
Lumine really couldn't picture a scene like that; it was just too weird.
"Isn't this perfectly normal? There's always going to be a better and a worse."
Because she found the scene of two people doing that sort of thing with Kaito one after another and then asking who was better just too strange, Lumine came right out and said this.
No matter what, she had no intention of letting Miko drag her into a comparison.
"Then let's hear the opinion of Kaito himself — we're the ones doing all the work while he just enjoys it." Seeing that Lumine wouldn't take her bait, Miko set her sights on Kaito instead.
She knew, of course, that Kaito would definitely say they were both good, but she just wanted to see his reaction.
Kaito: "..."
How am I supposed to answer something like that...
Not expecting Miko to ask such a question point-blank, Kaito felt a bit like hitting someone.
No — like hitting a fox.
"Why don't we wait until you're done being busy later to talk about it, Miko?" After thinking it over, Kaito gave this answer.
No matter what, stalling for a bit was better than nothing.
Besides, he'd already made up his mind: later, while Miko was at work, he'd bring it up, and if she wanted to say anything at that point, he'd just tell her not to talk and to keep eating.
"Hmph, then we might as well call Lumine in too, and have everyone give their evaluation — that way it won't be biased."
Knowing that Kaito was stalling for time because he didn't want to answer her, Miko thought once more of dragging Lumine into it.
"Didn't Lumine already have her turn this afternoon?" At this point Kaito brought up what had happened that afternoon.
"That's right, so next it's Miko's turn."
Lumine, who had been about to retort against Miko, upon hearing what Kaito said, hurriedly went along with his words and said this.
"Fine, forget about that one."
Because she really had forgotten about the matter of disguising Mobius as Lumine to go and get up to hanky-panky with Kaito, Miko dropped the idea of having Lumine join her.
"Here we are, here we are — I'll go take a bath first." Since Miko had said she wanted to exercise her eloquence a bit, Kaito decided to go take a bath first before anything else.
If it weren't for this little activity, he would have just bathed after finishing.
"Remember to wash up clean." Looking to be in quite a good mood, Miko headed toward Kaito's room.
As for Lumine, she walked off toward her own room.
In any case there was nothing more for her to do next, so she'd just go back to her own room and lie down, read a novel or something.
"Lumine, won't you join us?" When she'd walked up to the doorway of the room, Miko stopped and looked over at Lumine, who was heading toward her own room.
Lumine: "..."
"Have fun." Lumine, who could no longer be bothered to say anything more, turned her head back to glance at Miko and then said just this.
After that, she walked into her own room and shut the door.
This little girl...
Watching Lumine close the door, Miko stepped into Kaito's room as well.
Wonder how long that guy will take...
Might as well take my clothes off first...
The moment she came in, Miko, thinking this, quickly stripped the clothes off her body, revealing that nearly perfect figure.
Mm-hm...
Maintained it pretty well...
Looking at her own snow-white skin, Miko was very satisfied.
Although she wasn't human, a figure still had to be kept up properly; a fake one held no meaning at all.
But still...
That guy Kaito...
Miko, who was admiring her own figure, suddenly recalled the first time Kaito had seen her without any clothes on.
She had to admit, Kaito's reaction back then hadn't been what she'd imagined.
Even though Kaito had long been a battle-hardened veteran before ever seeing her body, she still couldn't help feeling a bit resigned at such a result — after all, getting a girl to take off her clothes for the first time is quite difficult.
Wait a moment...
Come to think of it, that guy doesn't happen to like the type of figure that little girl Wendy has — no chest to speak of, no rear to speak of — does he?
At this point a flash of inspiration suddenly surfaced in Miko's mind, bringing this notion with it.
Although she had no proof, she felt this possibility did exist.
But then, the moment she thought about how right now he only had Wendy like that, Miko felt it wasn't very likely after all.
After all, aside from Wendy, the others basically all had pretty good figures — especially Mei and Kiana.
If Kaito really did like a figure with nothing to it like Wendy's, then things wouldn't have come to him only having Wendy like that right now.
Looks like that guy has just seen too much...
After turning it over and over, Miko ultimately concluded that Kaito had simply grown accustomed to the female body, which was why he reacted that way.
