"My brother… to think he'd be involved with these beings."
Here in Kaito's living room, while having breakfast and listening to Kaito finish explaining the Abyss and the Heavenly Principles, Lumine couldn't help but say.
She never imagined that her own brother would have such strong ties to these two kinds of beings. Therefore, what her brother encountered was probably something she, at present, could hardly imagine.
"To experience a journey… to reach its end…"
"And then to understand why…"
At this moment, Lumine remembered what Aether had said before leaving.
"Indeed, your brother is quite extraordinary."
Finishing the last bit of his drink, Kaito nodded.
Because the plot hadn't officially started discussing the Abyss and Heavenly Principles before he transmigrated, Kaito could only give Lumine a simple explanation.
"Speaking of which, Wendy knows so many things."
Saying this, Lumine also glanced at Kaito. She, of course, knew why Wendy knew these things, but Kaito didn't seem to question why Wendy would know such things, so she was a bit curious about what he was thinking.
"Wendy is so amazing, it feels normal for her to know these things, doesn't it?"
Appearing to have thought for a moment, Kaito said this as if it were a matter of course.
"It's Wendy's amazingness again, so it's Wendy… and so on…"
"But haven't you ever wondered why Wendy is so amazing…?"
"This silly Kaito…"
Hearing the familiar answer, Lumine felt a bit helpless. She remembered having asked Kaito about Wendy before, and Kaito's answer was almost the same; it was always about Wendy being amazing, so she was something-something.
"Oh, by the way, Kaito, how long have you and Wendy known each other?"
Suddenly remembering this question, Lumine decided to ask; she was very curious. And she also wanted to know how Wendy and Kaito met.
"About that… I forgot."
After thinking for a moment, Kaito gave this reply.
Lumine: "…"
Lumine was speechless that Kaito had actually forgotten even that. She felt that the initial meeting time of two people in love was very significant, yet this Kaito had forgotten it.
"Be careful, Wendy might hit you."
"How could Wendy hit me? She doesn't care about things like that." Kaito looked a bit perplexed.
"This Kaito…"
"But… maybe Wendy really doesn't care about such things…"
"After all, she's a god… not like humans…"
After much thought, Lumine realized she was projecting human sentiments onto a god, which made her a little embarrassed.
"I'm planning to go out and find someone now, and get some exercise in the process. Do you have any plans?"
Suddenly standing up from the sofa, Kaito intended to go look for Venti.
Because Wendy had already gone to Stormterror's Lair, he wanted to tell Venti about it. Although Venti had previously said he would call them when it was time to resolve the Dvalin matter, because of the new task, Wendy went ahead. He had to mention this.
"Exercise is good, but you should take care of your body."
Hearing Kaito mention exercising, Lumine, who also stood up, suddenly said this.
"Take care of my body?"
Looking at Lumine, Kaito didn't immediately understand why she would say that. Logically speaking, his body should be getting better and better, as the system had once again strengthened it. Yet Lumine suddenly told him to take care of his body.
"Doesn't his body look quite good right now?"
"Yes, take care of your body." With hands on her hips, Lumine, recalling the two braids she had just tied, looked at Kaito and said again, "Take care of your body."
Although it was hard for Wendy to do 'that kind of thing' with her mouth, it was just hard work. For Kaito, however, it was not just simple hard work; he might ruin his body, which would be a huge loss. But no matter what, she was too embarrassed to say such things outright; she could only hint at it this way.
Actually, as a girl herself, she felt it was very necessary to talk to Wendy, who was also a girl, but because Wendy was the Anemo Archon, she dared not reveal that she knew Wendy did 'that kind of thing'. If it were an ordinary person, it would be fine, but if she knew a god was doing such things, she would never dare to speak up, otherwise, it wouldn't be good if they resorted to physical means.
"By the way, Kaito, who are you looking for?"
"A bard."
Although he still hadn't figured out why Lumine had said that, Kaito quickly answered the question of whom he was looking for.
"A bard? Why look for a bard?"
Lumine was a bit confused by Kaito's answer; she couldn't understand why Kaito wanted to find a bard. Was he going to listen to someone sing and tell stories?
"Nothing special, just a bit bored and curious what they're up to."
Because Lumine couldn't know about 'that matter', Kaito could only say this. Of course, he was indeed a bit bored now and needed to go out to pass the time.
"It is quite boring right now."
Hearing Kaito say he was bored, Lumine heartily agreed.
Actually, she could go out and take commissions to pass the time and earn some money, but Paimon was still sleeping, and also, it was still early, so she was a bit interested in going with Kaito to see that bard to pass the time.
She just didn't know if Kaito would invite her. But since she had already directly stated she was bored, Kaito should invite her to go for a walk with him or something.
"Indeed, there are too few entertainment options."
Hearing Lumine was also bored, Kaito couldn't help but miss his phone and computer. But there was nothing he could do; this world had neither of those things, so he could only pass the time by reading.
"So quickly, ask me to go see that bard with you…"
Because she hadn't shown any intention of leaving and hadn't proactively suggested going with Kaito to see the bard, Lumine felt a bit awkward at this moment. After all, he was about to go out to do something, and he had asked her what she was going to do next. She should either say she'd go with him, or say goodbye and leave. Standing there saying nothing was truly too strange.
"Then, would you like to come out with me?"
Seeing Lumine kept saying she was bored, Kaito decided to invite her to go out for a stroll together. Although it would be difficult for him to talk to Venti with Lumine around, since she was bored, he might as well take her out for a walk.
"Okay…" Finally hearing Kaito invite her, Lumine immediately agreed, her voice even carrying a hint of delight.
Then she awkwardly realized she seemed to have been too obvious and tried to shift the subject.
"Ahem, should we… leave now? Should we… buy something to take with us?"
"No need… But if he's not at the tavern, buying a few bottles of wine might be good."
