Ritou.
Sigh...
When the time comes, the Raiden Shogun won't just directly attack me, will She?
While looking like she was casually admiring the scenery around the inn, but actually paying attention to her surroundings at every moment, Lumine couldn't help but think this.
It couldn't be helped; facing the Raiden Shogun, she was still a bit nervous.
But regardless, she had to complete the task Acheron had entrusted to her.
Besides, she didn't actually need to worry about anything; she had Acheron as her backup.
Ah... No... I should think about something else...
If I keep being like this, the Raiden Shogun will definitely notice something is wrong...
Thinking about it, Lumine felt she had to think of some things to distract herself.
This way, when the Raiden Shogun comes over, she won't appear so deliberate.
Right... Would it be better if I also called her Mei?
Suddenly thinking of this question, Lumine fell into thought.
Because just now, everyone else was calling Acheron 'Mei', and only she herself kept addressing her by the name 'Acheron'.
However. Kaito has always used the address 'Acheron'...
Better to stick with Acheron...
Thinking that Kaito always used the name Acheron, Lumine didn't think too much more about it.
Since Kaito uses Acheron anyway, then she would use Acheron too.
But why doesn't Kaito call her Mei?
Isn't that Acheron's name?
And. Why is she called Acheron?
After deciding on how to address Acheron, Lumine thought of these questions again.
It had to be said, every single one of these questions made her very curious.
But there was no helping it; she didn't know the answer to any of these questions, nor was it easy to find out, unless she went to ask Kaito directly.
"There, it's that little one up ahead."
Just then, Lumine heard Miko's voice coming from behind.
Lumine: "!"
It had to be said, the sudden appearance of Miko's voice gave Lumine a start inside.
They're here... I have to act a bit more natural...
Huh?
Isn't this too similar?
Is She really not Acheron's older or younger sister?
After turning her head back, Lumine was shocked.
Although she already knew Acheron and the Raiden Shogun looked very alike, after seeing the Raiden Shogun appear, she realized her previous thoughts had been too conservative.
She originally thought they would look somewhat similar at most, but it wasn't just 'somewhat'; it could even be said they were exactly the same, if they both changed into the same outfit.
"Alright, little one, stop staring. Tell Her Excellency, the Shogun, the location of that person."
While Lumine was stunned, Miko and Ei had already arrived in front of her, and Miko spoke in a joking tone.
Sigh... Is this little one really up to it?
Why does she look so surprised?
Is it because of Ei and Mei's appearance?
Looking calmly at Lumine in front of her, Miko also silently thought this in her heart.
Actually, she was still a bit curious why Mei had to drag Lumine into this midway; it clearly wasn't necessary.
But since things have come to this, she could only watch how this little one would perform.
"You two look so alike!"
After holding it in for a long time, Lumine finally spoke.
There was no helping it; she had to say something, otherwise just standing here foolishly would be an issue. Besides, she definitely couldn't just say where Acheron was right now, or her screen time would be too short. She had to at least perform a bit of surprise.
"Then where is she?"
Regarding Lumine's words, Ei asked directly.
Regardless of anything else, right now She only wanted to know where that person was.
"You know Acheron? Are you sisters? And why should I tell you?"
Not expecting the Raiden Shogun to be so direct, and seeming not to even look her in the eye, a slightly disgruntled Lumine asked these questions in succession.
Of course, she wasn't speaking like this just because she was disgruntled.
Acheron had told her just now to act according to the situation and not just be a guide.
However, Lumine herself was actually a bit scared after saying those sentences; she hadn't thought that much just now and had just said them directly.
It couldn't be helped; she was worried the Raiden Shogun would personally attack her or something.
But the words were already out; at most, she just had to be prepared to fight. Acheron definitely wouldn't watch the Raiden Shogun do anything to her.
Oh? This little one... I wonder what Ei will say next?
Not expecting Lumine to be like this, Miko at the side was also somewhat surprised.
She originally thought Lumine would at most just say where Mei was, but now Lumine didn't seem to trust Ei and wasn't willing to reveal Mei's location.
But it had to be said, this was the normal situation. Who would immediately tell a person who looked a bit ill-intentioned the location of their friend?
She was just curious about how Ei would react to this.
"Then what if I insist you tell me?"
Under the gazes of Miko and Lumine, Ei spoke coldly.
She had just sensed the surroundings, but She didn't sense where that person's aura was.
Therefore, right now She could only obtain information from the young girl before her.
But for some reason, the girl before her didn't look ordinary; she didn't look like a commoner at all.
"Oh my, Ei, don't be like this. She is Kaito's girlfriend, you know."
After seeing Ei's reaction, Miko hurriedly ended her spectator mode and said this.
Regardless of anything, she obviously couldn't let Ei and Lumine start fighting.
Although she didn't know how much strength Lumine had, she probably couldn't beat Ei.
As for why she said 'probably', it was because that guy Kaito's girlfriends were stronger one after another, so Miko didn't feel that Ei would definitely be able to beat Lumine.
Ei: "???"
Turning her head to look at Miko with a face full of surprise, Ei evidently wore a look of some confusion.
It couldn't be helped; during this time, She had already seen quite a few of that boy's girlfriends, and now She was seeing another one.
Or put another way, right now, even including the person She was looking for... was there anyone here who wasn't that boy's girlfriend?
That boy...
Exactly how many girlfriends does he have?
And why does each one look so different?
Is it just because he himself isn't an ordinary person?
Unable to stop thinking a lot in her heart, Ei suddenly didn't know what to say.
But right now, one thing was very clear: She couldn't do anything to this girl in front of her.
I'm not one yet...
Silently listening to Miko's words, Lumine thought this for a moment.
However, thoughts aside, she didn't open her mouth to say anything.
And she was very curious, why did the Raiden Shogun appear so confused after hearing that she was Kaito's girlfriend?
What happened here?
