"I can testify!"
Just as Miko was preparing to voice her own guess to verify if it was correct, Lumine, who had been silent on the side, suddenly blurted out this sentence, drawing the gazes of both Acheron and Miko.
There was no helping it; she had to demonstrate her usefulness.
Otherwise, if she continued to do nothing, Kaito obviously wouldn't invite her along next time.
Uh...
Seeing everyone looking at her, Lumine felt a bit guilty.
However, in order to show her worth, she continued, "I mean, I can testify that Acheron is that... uh... Makoto."
"Oh? Testify? Do you know Makoto?"
Because she knew Lumine wasn't an ordinary person, Miko didn't think she was talking nonsense; instead, she asked this question seriously.
She felt that perhaps Lumine really could do this, even if it wasn't necessary.
But if it were anyone else, she would have had a good laugh at them. After all, Ei certainly wouldn't mistake Makoto's consciousness; no testimony was needed at all.
Testify?
What is Lumine doing?
Looking at Lumine, Acheron couldn't help but think this as well; she really couldn't understand why Lumine would say that.
"Eh? I don't."
Miko: "???"
Looking at Lumine with a face full of confusion, Miko suddenly didn't know what to say. She wondered if this little girl was messing with her.
"Then what are you mixing in for, you little girl? Testifying... be careful or Ei might electrocute you to death." Smiling helplessly, Miko spoke somewhat speechlessly.
If it were anyone other than Lumine, whom she knew, she would have wanted to hit someone by now. And this time, she could actually beat the person she wanted to hit.
But there was no helping it; she obviously couldn't just beat up this little girl.
And even if she really wanted to hit her, it could only be a playful hit.
"Uh..."
Crap...
What am I doing?
I can't testify to this at all...
After being told this by Miko, an embarrassed Lumine suddenly realized she couldn't testify at all.
As for why she blurted it out, it was because she wanted so badly to prove she was useful that she said 'I can testify' without thinking.
"Seems so." Smiling awkwardly, Lumine nodded in agreement with Miko's words.
Sigh...
It had the opposite effect...
I'm really stupid...
With an awkward smile still on her face, Lumine secretly felt she was truly clumsy.
She originally wanted to show she was useful, but it turned into proof of her uselessness. This was just...
"It is good to have such thoughts, but the Raiden Shogun recognizes Makoto, so there is no need for further proof." Looking at the embarrassed Lumine, Acheron, who could roughly guess what she was trying to do, said this.
It doesn't matter, encourage her first.
"Oh, oh, I understand." Seeing that Acheron still held a positive attitude towards her thoughts, Lumine quickly nodded.
It had to be said, Acheron was really too nice.
But...
How can I prove myself?
Just listening from the side without understanding anything feels really bad...
After a brief moment of happiness, Lumine couldn't help but worry again.
No matter what, she still had to prove she had the capability to be involved.
Right...
What are they doing now?
Are they going to do something to the Raiden Shogun?
Lumine suddenly realized she didn't even know what Acheron and the others planned to do.
And just as she was about to ask, Miko spoke up.
"Mei, is that Makoto... currently in your body?"
"You could say that. Do you want to speak with Her now?" Seeing Miko ask this, Acheron guessed as much.
Just now, Miko obviously hadn't grasped the situation, so she hadn't really spoken to Makoto.
But now, having understood what happened, she definitely wanted to say something to Makoto.
"Yes." Miko nodded.
No matter what, she should talk to Makoto first, and also discuss the plan for meeting Ei later.
Right...
Did She hear just now?
If not, I'll repeat it to Her...
Just treat it as chatting...
While staring at Mei, Miko silently thought this.
Sigh...
It's time for me to watch from the sidelines again...
Listening to the conversation between Acheron and Miko, Lumine knew she had to start listening to others talk again, the kind where she couldn't get a word in.
After all, she didn't even know the person, so how could she join in?
[Lumine.]
Hmm?
Just as Lumine was thinking about how to demonstrate her value later, she suddenly heard Acheron's voice.
[Just speak to me directly in your mind.]
Lumine: "!"
[How do you know this way of speaking too?] Knowing that Acheron was actually speaking inside her mind, Lumine subconsciously said this.
She originally thought only Kaito had this ability, but it turned out Acheron had it too.
In that case, can Wendy and Kiana speak like this as well?
