"Wait!"
Saying "wait" once again, Ei also took a step forward.
Regardless of anything, She could not let Acheron leave now.
The Her of the past failed to make it in time; now, no matter what, She could not repeat the mistakes of those years.
"I have already made my words very clear, Miss Raiden. I am not that person you speak of." Seeming quite helpless, Makoto stopped her steps and turned around to look at Ei.
However, helplessness aside, Makoto was actually still a bit worried that Ei would resort to force. There was no helping it; She definitely couldn't beat Ei.
[Miss Mei, if Ei makes a move later, please don't strike too heavily.]
[I know, rest assured.] Knowing that if a fight broke out, she would definitely have to handle it herself, Acheron quickly replied to Makoto.
"But you took those Visions away. I cannot just let you leave like this." Now, Ei intended to use the Visions as an excuse to make Acheron stay.
If that really didn't work, then She could only choose to take action.
She knew the opponent's strength was formidable, but there was no choice; She absolutely could not let her leave just like that.
"Then it seems we can only see the truth through force."
After receiving Miss Mei's answer, Makoto also spoke coldly like this.
And just at this moment, Miko's voice came from the side.
"It's right here."
It's Miko... Next, it's time for her to make an entrance...
Looking in the direction the voice came from, Makoto silently thought this.
Regardless of anything, even if She really left now, She would definitely appear before Ei again later.
"Two Excellencies, the Shogun?"
Upon arriving beside Ei and Makoto, Miko feigned surprise and exclaimed this.
Of course, her gaze ultimately rested on Ei.
After all, even though the two looked almost exactly the same right now, their outfits and temperaments were different. Normally speaking, one could still recognize who Ei was.
"No wonder you were so anxious, Ei. Turns out they look so alike." Looking at Ei, then looking at Makoto, Miko spoke with some surprise.
Miko... Right. That boy mentioned before that she is his girlfriend...
After seeing Miko, Ei also suddenly recalled the words that boy had said before.
In that case, She didn't need to make a move now.
As long as that boy was still in Inazuma, then this person who looked exactly like Makoto but called herself Acheron should also be in Inazuma.
It seems I must go find that boy...
Continuing to look at Acheron, Ei silently thought this.
Originally, She prepared to forcibly keep Acheron here, but now She had a new method.
"Miko!"
"What is it, Ei?"
Hearing Ei suddenly call her, Miko responded immediately. She knew that Ei was getting ready to have her do something.
"Is that boyfriend of yours still in Inazuma?"
"He is, of course he is." Nodding, Miko indicated that Kaito was still here in Inazuma.
Ei is actually this smart...
It seems staying in that place all the time has its benefits...
Regarding Ei suddenly asking her about Kaito, Miko could roughly guess what She wanted to do.
Obviously, She wanted to reveal the information that she was Kaito's girlfriend, and then she could be used to negotiate with Makoto.
"What was your boyfriend called again? I forgot." At this moment, Ei continued to ask.
Oh my... Why does Ei feel so cute...
Not expecting Ei to ask her this, Miko immediately felt the current Ei was unbearably cute, and then she replied, "Kaito. That guy is called Kaito. Didn't I introduce him to you before? How did you forget so quickly?"
Lumine: "!"
It had to be said, Lumine, who was silently listening to the conversation from the side, was also shocked after hearing Miko's words.
She didn't expect that Kaito had actually done so many things during this time; he had even met Miko's guardian.
Of course, she knew the Raiden Shogun didn't count as Miko's guardian, but the significance was the same.
Sigh... Should I let Kaito meet my brother?
Anyway, Acheron and the others definitely knew where he was right now...
Suddenly having this question pop up in her mind, Lumine pondered its feasibility.
And just at this moment, Ei spoke faintly, "My memory is not good."
Although Ei was conversing with Miko, Her gaze remained fixed on Acheron in front of Her. She wanted to see if Acheron would have any reaction to this.
And while She was staring at the other party, the other party reacted.
"So you are Miko."
Because the script discussed earlier was that Acheron knew Miko, but Miko didn't know Acheron, she spoke these words now.
"I didn't expect you to look so much like Ei. Surely it isn't just a coincidence?"
Seeing Makoto mention her, Miko walked in front of Ei to converse with Her.
"The world is full of wonders; anything is possible."
After saying this, Makoto turned around again, preparing to leave.
"Wait!" This time it was Miko's turn to say wait, while Ei watched from the side.
Her goal had now been achieved; it all depended on whether Miko could make the other party stay.
"Is there something else?" Makoto continued the double act with Miko.
"Why not come with me to find Kaito? He just found out that the Raiden Shogun looks very much like you. He is very curious about this matter, you know."
In this sentence, Miko deliberately told a lie.
Of course, Makoto knew she was lying, and Ei knew she was lying, but neither of Them would say anything. As for the reason, naturally, they each had their own.
However, there was one exception, and that was Lumine.
?
Kaito only just found out about this???
Shouldn't he have known ages ago?
Looking at Miko, Lumine also wore a face of complete confusion.
Logically speaking, Kaito should have known this when he met the Raiden Shogun earlier.
Should I say something?
No!
It wouldn't be good to mess up the plan...
Although Lumine really wanted to ask what was happening right now, for the sake of the plan, she couldn't do so—she absolutely couldn't, even if it killed her.
"What is there to be curious about?"
Regarding Miko's words, Makoto's voice sounded as if she was a bit helpless.
"Oh my, since he's curious, why don't we all go over there now? He is right in Inazuma City at the moment." Following Makoto's words, Miko proposed this.
She knew very well that Ei would definitely support her proposal now.
"Alright."
Looking as if she had thought about something, Makoto finally said 'alright', counting as agreement to Miko's proposal.
She's finally staying...
After hearing Acheron's words, Ei finally relaxed Her guard.
Regardless of anything, now that Acheron was still here, She could continue to observe whether she was truly Makoto.
