Watatsumi Island.
"It's just a ceasefire, there are no other conditions."
Watching Sangonomiya Kokomi before her, Miko said this with a smile.
She knew the Sangonomiya side would definitely assume the Shogunate Army had other conditions.
After all, since the Raiden Shogun had personally made a move, naturally, the war wouldn't stop so easily; at the very least, there would be punishments or something similar.
No conditions?
Very strange...
Sangonomiya Kokomi did not answer Miko immediately, faintly feeling that something was wrong.
Given that the Raiden Shogun had already personally intervened, how could the war be halted so easily?
Yet the shrine maiden before her claimed there were no conditions whatsoever. This was indeed very strange.
"Well? Is this acceptable?"
Seeing Sangonomiya Kokomi remain silent for a long time, Miko asked once more.
"Then how long is this ceasefire for? Is it a permanent stop, or just a temporary truce?"
After thinking for a moment, Kokomi asked this question.
"Lady Sangonomiya, when we went to receive the supplies, for some reason those people never showed up, so we had to return empty-handed. Also, near there, we saw a young girl holding a blade; we don't know who she is."
Just then, several people suddenly ran out from somewhere and reported this to Kokomi.
The people transporting supplies didn't show up?
And a young girl with a blade appeared nearby?
Was this arranged by Miko?
Although she felt dissatisfied that the soldier spoke of such matters directly in front of Miko, Kokomi still prioritized considering the possible truth behind this.
"Fools! Lady Sangonomiya is discussing matters with someone from the Shogunate Army. Do not interrupt now."
Seeing his subordinates speak of such things directly in front of that shrine maiden, Gorou truly wanted to hit someone.
After all, this concerned strategic resources like supplies. How could they let the opposition know their situation so simply? This was simply ridiculously stupid.
"S-Sorry, Lady Sangonomiya... I didn't... didn't mean to."
Realizing he had leaked important intelligence, the person who just spoke was terrified.
Because it was too urgent just now, he hadn't noticed there was actually someone from the Shogunate Army nearby.
A young girl holding a blade?
Mei?
And receiving supplies...
It seems someone is sponsoring the Resistance...
And...
It must be the Fatui, right?
But why did Mei run off to the Fatui?
Listening silently on the side, Miko also thought a lot in that instant.
"You may leave."
Regarding Miko learning about the supplies, Kokomi was also quite helpless.
But there was no helping it. Since it had already happened, she could only leave it at that.
However, she also knew that since the Raiden Shogun had personally stepped in, those supplies actually wouldn't affect much.
"Yes, Lady Sangonomiya."
Upon receiving the order, the person hurriedly retreated.
"I accept your ceasefire agreement. Additionally, I hope you can abide by it."
Looking at Miko, Kokomi indicated her acceptance of the ceasefire agreement.
In fact, this was a ceasefire agreement she had to accept; otherwise, if the Raiden Shogun attacked, they simply couldn't block it.
"A very good choice. Then it is settled."
Seeing Kokomi agree to the request to stop, Miko was in a good mood.
Up to this point, the plan was still within her control.
But once Ei found out what she was doing, She would be hard to control.
Yet regardless, these were things she had to do.
Even if Ei were to slaughter her, it would still be so.
"No problem." Kokomi nodded.
Honestly speaking, she hadn't expected Miko not to increase the stakes. Originally, she had already prepared herself to accept a ceasefire under additional conditions.
After all, without supplies, they couldn't last too long.
As the saying goes, provisions must go before the troops.
A while later.
"Alright, since the agreement has been signed, I should get going."
After signing the ceasefire agreement, Miko expressed that she was leaving.
Actually, at first, she only intended to have a verbal ceasefire, but Kokomi seemed to really hope to sign a ceasefire agreement, so she had no choice but to sign one with her.
"I will have Gorou see you off."
Just like that, Miko began to leave Watatsumi Island.
It still feels a bit strange...
Watching Miko's retreating figure, Kokomi couldn't shake the feeling that something was amiss.
But there was no helping it. The Raiden Shogun's intervention was something they could not withstand. Even if she felt something was wrong, she had to follow the other party's requirements first.
-------------------------
Yashiori Island.
Alright...
Time to go back and find Mei...
I need to ask if that person was her...
Walking on the road back, Miko silently thought this.
Although she felt that young girl should be Mei, she felt she still had to ask to be sure.
But I wonder if Mei will...
Hmm...
So she's already back...
Just as Miko was wondering if Mei was waiting for her at the agreed-upon spot, Mei's figure appeared in her line of sight.
"I'm back, Mei."
As she was about to reach Mei's side, Miko spoke up.
"How did it go? Did it go smoothly?"
Turning her head to look at Miko walking towards her, Acheron asked.
Actually, she could already guess the result when she saw Miko's expression, but she decided to ask anyway after thinking about it.
"Of course it went smoothly. With Mei's help in driving away those Fatui transporting supplies, naturally, it went smoothly."
Nodding, Miko seemed to be in a very good mood, and she casually mentioned Mei attacking the Fatui.
"I merely attacked their Delusion Factory. I also killed a Harbinger while I was at it."
Slowly shaking her head, Acheron stated what she had just done.
"A Harbinger?"
Upon hearing Mei say she killed a Fatui Harbinger, Miko looked as if she was pondering something, and then said, "I didn't expect his final outcome to be this. I just wonder if he recognized that the person who killed him wasn't..."
"He recognized it. After all, I am not the Raiden Shogun."
Before Miko could finish speaking, Acheron had already answered her question.
"That's good too. However, I feel he would still think it was someone sent by that fellow."
Nodding, Miko didn't know if she was talking to herself or to Acheron.
Since she had originally felt Ei should have disposed of Scaramouche, she didn't feel much about this occurrence now; it was nothing more than a belated disposal.
"I do not know."
Regarding Miko's speculation, Acheron shook her head.
"Alright then, let's head back."
"What about Kujou Sara's side?"
"Ignore her. She will understand eventually. After all, 'Her Excellency, the Shogun' is very busy~"
