"It's fine, I'm not in a hurry."
Hearing Miko say this, Acheron shook her head.
It made no difference to her anyway. With her strength, there was absolutely nothing to worry about, so chatting slowly or talking later were both acceptable options.
"Huh? Mei, don't be angry. It's just that I haven't seen Makoto in so long..."
"Hmm? I'm not angry. Why would you say that?"
Acheron felt a bit baffled by Miko suddenly asking her not to be angry. She wasn't angry right now, and she couldn't figure out why Miko would think so.
"Really? Mei, are you truly not angry?" Miko looked Acheron up and down, seemingly not quite believing her words.
Based on what Mei had just said, she felt Mei must have been angry to speak like that.
"I am very sorry, Miss Mei. I haven't seen Miko in such a long time that I accidentally chatted for too long." At this moment, Makoto spoke up as well.
There was no helping it; She had indeed gotten carried away chatting with Miko and forgotten about the matter at hand.
Acheron: "..."
After listening to Miko and Makoto, Mei didn't quite know what to say. She really wasn't angry, nor did she have any reason to be.
Is there something wrong with what I said?
Looking silently at Miko, Mei couldn't help but think this.
Hmm... It does seem a bit like sulking... But do I, Acheron, look like that kind of person?
After carefully recalling what she had just said, Acheron realized her words did have a slight issue. It sounded like she was sulking, but in reality, she genuinely thought that way.
"Alright, say no more. I'm not angry. I just felt that we could discuss this business whenever; there's no need to rush. After all, the Raiden Shogun can't defeat me anyway." After thinking for a moment, Acheron simply explained her earlier thoughts.
If they still didn't believe her, there was nothing she could do about it. So be it.
"Oh, so that's it. Indeed, Ei cannot defeat you, so we can essentially play this however we want." Nodding in realization, Miko breathed a sigh of relief. It was good that Mei wasn't angry.
Regardless, she had indeed been a bit too focused on chatting with Makoto just now.
Then, as if suddenly remembering something, Miko said, "So... what are we going to do? Oh, right, amnesia, was it?"
"I was just giving an example; we don't necessarily have to do that."
Seeing Miko's unreliable appearance, Acheron clarified that it was merely an example. She didn't know exactly what the best course of action was either. But fortunately, the person involved was right here, so she could just ask.
"Actually, I feel that method is quite good." Just as Acheron was about to ask Makoto, Makoto spoke up first.
Although Miss Mei had just said it casually, She thought it was excellent. There was just one downside: She would have to borrow Miss Mei's body to do it.
"Pretending to have amnesia? That is indeed a very good idea. It will absolutely startle Ei."
Seeing that Makoto thought it was a good idea, Miko, having roughly imagined what would happen, also strongly agreed with this approach.
Of course, for her, the main point was that this approach would be very interesting.
And more importantly, this was something Makoto wanted to do Herself. When Ei found out the truth later, She couldn't come looking for trouble with Miko.
It had to be said, this method of seeing a lot of amusement without facing a reckoning later was truly wonderful. She absolutely loved it.
Amnesia? Why does that feel a bit cliché...
Listening silently to the discussion between Acheron and Miko from the side, Lumine couldn't help but think this. The word "amnesia" reminded her of some melodramatic novels she had read before.
Admittedly, back then, she had really been addicted to those kinds of novels.
Wait... Why am I just watching again... I have to say something!
Realizing she was just watching from the sidelines like before, Lumine prepared to say something.
Of course, she definitely couldn't voice her earlier thought, especially since everyone seemed to agree with this approach.
Hmm... What should I say... Ask what I should do? That feels a bit strange...
Thinking about it, Lumine suddenly didn't know what to say.
"In that case, Lumine will also join our operation this time."
Just as Lumine was struggling to think of something to say, Acheron suddenly mentioned her, giving her a start.
"Oh? She is indeed an unusual little one." Following Acheron's words, Miko's gaze also turned toward her.
"That's for sure!"
At Miko's remark, Lumine puffed out her chest and raised her head, looking very proud. Regardless, she had to leave a good impression first and not be like before.
"A very confident girl," Makoto spoke up at this moment.
Although She couldn't see the other party's expression right now, judging by the voice, she must be a very confident girl.
"Yes, I am very confident right now!" Without much thought, Lumine subconsciously blurted out this slightly strange-sounding sentence.
Crap... What am I doing...
Immediately after saying that, Lumine regretted it. There was no helping it; that sentence just now was too weird.
What is Lumine doing?
Acheron already felt the previous sentence didn't sound like something Lumine would say, and now with this new one, she was a bit curious about what Lumine was up to.
Forget it... Confidence is good...
Thinking it was better not to overthink it, and that confidence was a good thing anyway, Acheron said, "How about this: Lumine will pretend to be a friend of Makoto."
A friend of Makoto? What friend of Makoto? Whose friend exactly?
Regarding Acheron's words, Lumine subconsciously thought this.
"Then Mei, do you mean you want Ei to look for Makoto through Lumine? But that guy Kaito already said you are his..."
"It doesn't matter." Knowing what Miko was about to say, Acheron cut her off.
She certainly knew that the Raiden Shogun had already learned about the situation here from Kaito, but to keep Lumine from being too bored, this was the only way.
"True enough. As long as I can see Ei's amusement, it's fine."
Seeing Mei like this, Miko didn't say anything more. Although she felt this was a bit superfluous, since Mei had said so, they would do it.
"Be careful Ei doesn't beat you up, Miko."
Makoto was a bit surprised that Miko had so bluntly expressed her desire to see Ei's amusement.
However, thinking about the five hundred years that had passed, She felt this was normal. Regardless, after so many years, She would always feel a sense of unfamiliarity with some changes.
