Kaito?
Kaito could be considered here as well...
Regarding Lumine's question, Acheron silently thought this in her heart.
But thinking was one thing; she certainly wouldn't voice her inner thoughts directly. That was something she couldn't say.
"Hmph, that guy? He's still out shopping right now. Ignore him."
Just as Acheron was preparing to say something, Miko beat her to it.
Because Kaito hadn't told her the full truth when he sent her to find Mei, she was a bit dissatisfied with him. After all, regarding something like this—he should have at least told her. Even if it was a surprise, there should have been at least a hint.
And just then, Makoto's curiosity was piqued by Miko's remark.
[Acheron, let me speak with Miko. I have a question to ask her.]
[Alright.]
Although she didn't know what Makoto wanted to do, Acheron agreed to Her request.
"Miko."
"What is it, Mei?" Suddenly hearing Mei call her, Miko turned her head to look at her.
But just as she looked at Acheron, she noticed something was off.
"Wait, are you... Makoto now?"
Looking at Mei, who was clearly different again, Miko looked her up and down.
"Never mind that for now. Miko, are you in love right now?"
Not answering Miko's question, Makoto asked this with some impatience. From the tone of Miko's voice just now, Makoto had clearly picked up on something different.
Honestly, if Miko was really in love, She was truly curious about who that person was and what he looked like.
There was no helping it; She was simply too shocked by the idea of Miko being in love. What kind of person could make Miko fall in love?
And more importantly, wasn't this person named Kaito already Miss Acheron's boyfriend? Why would Miko still use that obviously unusual tone?
"Huh? You are Makoto now, right..."
Miko, who had been about to complain that Mei didn't warn her when switching, froze upon hearing Makoto ask this. She didn't answer Her question but instead deflected.
Strange... How does Makoto know about this? Could it be Mei??? Good grief, Mei... Telling Makoto my gossip so quickly...
After thinking for a moment, Miko immediately guessed it was Mei's doing.
Although she felt Mei wasn't the type to actively do such things, the current situation left her with no other guess. Otherwise, how could Makoto possibly know about this?
Sigh... How should I answer?
Knowing she hadn't answered Makoto's question yet and couldn't bluff her way through, Miko pondered how best to respond.
Although stating the facts directly would be the best approach, she felt a bit embarrassed to say it out loud.
"Can't you tell? Also, hurry up and answer my question."
Clearly sensing that Miko was deliberately avoiding Her question, Makoto emphasized it again. In fact, She felt Her guess was likely correct, but She just wanted to hear Miko admit it personally.
"Oh my, Makoto, haven't I already made it very obvious? You must have already guessed it, right?"
Thinking quickly, Miko finally gave this answer. Since her situation was already known, there was no need to hide anything. However, she certainly wouldn't admit it directly, preferring to acknowledge it in this roundabout way.
"No, I haven't guessed it." Makoto slowly shook Her head.
Knowing what Miko was thinking, Makoto directly stated She hadn't guessed anything; She just wanted to hear Miko say it herself.
Miko: "..."
Not expecting Makoto to be like this, Miko was speechless.
Sigh... Neither of these two sisters is easy to deal with...
Looking helplessly at Makoto, whose face was full of anticipation for her answer, Miko knew she had to say it directly.
"Yes, I'm in love. After all, I've been single for hundreds of years."
After formulating her words, Miko finally nodded and answered Makoto's question.
"But isn't that person named Kaito already Miss Acheron's..."
"Oh my, no one made a rule that a person can only have one girlfriend."
Before Makoto could finish, Miko answered like this, and then she shifted her gaze to Lumine at the side.
Hmm? Why is she suddenly looking at me?
Lumine, who had been silently watching the drama unfold from the side, was startled when she saw Miko turn her head.
And along with Miko, Makoto also looked over, leaving Lumine looking confused. She really couldn't understand how this involved her.
Did I become the target for diversion?
Suddenly recalling her own thought just now about wanting Paimon to be her diversion target, Lumine immediately thought this.
And just then, Miko spoke up, "Actually, everyone here except You is that guy's girlfriend."
Lumine: "!"
Since when was I one?
It had to be said, Miko's words shocked Lumine. She hadn't expected that Miko already considered her Kaito's girlfriend.
Hmm... Should I... deny it? But if I do that... Forget it... I'll just pretend I didn't hear it...
After thinking about it, Lumine decided to pretend she hadn't heard anything. Although she wanted to deny it, with so many people present, she worried that denying it would be equivalent to directly rejecting the possibility of such a thing, so she came up with the method of playing dead.
Anyway, she neither admitted nor denied it now, so she could say whatever she wanted later.
"They are all such excellent girls."
After a brief moment of surprise, Makoto sighed with emotion. It had to be said, She was now even more curious about that human named Kaito. What kind of person could actually manage such a thing? She was truly looking forward to meeting him.
"The girls around that guy are indeed all excellent. I really don't know how he finds them."
Going along with Makoto's words, Miko also sighed. There was no helping it; she was very curious about this herself.
"So, Miko, are you jealous?" Hearing Miko sigh like that, Makoto asked this jokingly.
"Huh? How is that possible? I wouldn't be like that. If you don't believe me, ask Mei."
Almost the instant she heard Makoto's words, Miko denied it. No matter what, she wouldn't have such thoughts, and even Makoto couldn't say that about her. And even if she did, she couldn't admit it directly. Apart from anything else, she herself was also very excellent.
