"Makoto..."
Seeing Ei say Her name, Makoto looked as if She were recalling something, causing Ei to watch Her with great anticipation.
However, in the end, Makoto did not continue pondering, nor did She say anything.
She...
Is She Makoto?
Seeing the other party stop thinking with a hint of disappointment, Ei couldn't help but think this.
Truth be told, She really wanted a definitive answer to this question.
But there was no helping it; up to now, She still couldn't confirm anything. Even Her earlier guess seemed to be wrong now.
It's just...
Does this young man really have no objective at all?
Glancing at Kaito by the side, Ei was momentarily at a loss for what to do.
Currently, She really couldn't do anything to him, nor could She determine if he harbored any ulterior motives.
"How about you two spend some time alone together? See if it helps Acheron remember anything?"
Just then, Kaito proposed this solution.
Since the Raiden Shogun wanted to know if Makoto was truly Makoto, it would be better to let Them chat alone.
Of course, he hadn't discussed this with Makoto beforehand.
Although he could communicate with Makoto through Acheron's side, he didn't do so. Anyway, Makoto could do whatever She wanted now; he would just play support from the sidelines.
And just as Kaito was thinking this, Makoto already gave Her answer.
"No."
Hmm?
It had to be said, Makoto's answer surprised Kaito a bit.
But since She didn't want to, that was fine.
"Alright."
Looking at Makoto, Kaito nodded, while Ei's expression to the side became somewhat complicated.
Actually, She had been prepared to agree to Kaito's proposal, but Acheron refused very quickly.
And with Makoto's refusal, Tenshukaku fell into silence once again.
"Let's go back, Kai."
Finally, it was Makoto who spoke up to break the silence.
Leaving so soon?
Not expecting Makoto to want to leave now, Kaito was inevitably a bit puzzled.
But puzzled as he was, he didn't show it, simply replying, "Then, Raiden Shogun... we will be going."
After speaking, Kaito turned and walked toward the stairs, with Makoto following closely behind.
"Wait!"
Just as Kaito and Makoto reached the stairs, Ei, who was still standing in the same spot, spoke up.
"Are you planning to leave Inazuma?"
Under the gaze of Kaito and Makoto, Ei hesitated a moment before asking this question.
No matter what, She had to determine if these two were preparing to leave Inazuma.
"No, we have no plans to leave Inazuma for the time being, and neither does Acheron."
Turning back, Kaito indicated he wouldn't leave Inazuma yet.
He knew what the Raiden Shogun was thinking, so he specifically emphasized Acheron.
"Don't worry, if we were to leave, we would tell Miko."
Seeing the Raiden Shogun didn't say anything more, Kaito added this.
Actually, he initially wanted to say he would tell Her, but thinking they weren't that familiar, he switched to saying Miko.
However, he also knew that even if he didn't say this, the Raiden Shogun would still have Miko keep an eye on whether he left Inazuma.
Now that his strength was very high, the Raiden Shogun could only choose to deal with matters involving him through peaceful means.
Afterward, seeing the Raiden Shogun say nothing more, Kaito and Makoto left.
And after the two departed, Ei remained standing in place, looking as if She were pondering something.
What should I do?
Turning around to continue looking at the scenery outside, Ei was thinking about the best course of action.
In the past, She basically relied on Her own strength and Her identity as the Electro Archon to handle various matters, but now neither of these things was useful to Her—absolutely useless.
But this matter was very different; She really wanted to solve it.
Miko...
After thinking it over, Ei thought of Miko.
In any case, Miko was very familiar with that boy and the people around him now.
So...
This time, She would have to rely on Miko to break the deadlock!
Thinking this, Ei turned around again to look at the stairs.
She felt She should go down and see what Miko was doing.
But thinking that there were other people besides Miko present, She dismissed the idea.
Forget it...
I'll wait for Miko to come over herself...
After thinking for a moment, Ei finally decided to wait here for Miko to come find Her.
She knew Miko would definitely come to find Her.
Thinking of this, Ei turned back again to watch the scenery outside.
Outside.
"Sigh, I really am curious what they are talking about."
Standing outside with Lumine and Paimon, Miko muttered to herself while looking at Tenshukaku.
"I really want to know too. Should we fly up and eavesdrop?"
Seeing Miko had the same idea as her, Paimon immediately said this with great anticipation.
If Miko and Lumine agreed, she would fly straight up.
"Sure, but be careful not to get beaten to death."
Turning her head to look at the eager Paimon, Miko spoke leisurely.
If she wasn't that familiar with Paimon, she would have just tricked Paimon into flying up.
Moreover, besides that, she felt she shouldn't trick Kaito's friend's pet like this; otherwise, it would be bad if it made things difficult for Kaito to handle.
"Huh? Then I'd better not go."
Hearing Miko mention the risk of being beaten to death, Paimon hurriedly canceled the idea.
There was no helping it; life was more important.
And more importantly, she could ask Acheron later; she didn't necessarily have to eavesdrop now.
"Go on? Why not go? I was thinking of saving some money."
At this moment, Lumine, standing aside, spoke up.
"Lumine, you're so mean! To think you value money more than me."
Not expecting Lumine to say that, Paimon looked very sad.
But regarding this, Lumine remained merciless: "Of course I have to be like this with you; no one eats as much as you do."
Miko: "..."
Listening silently to their conversation, Miko was speechless; she seemed to have provoked the relationship between the two.
But it had to be said, their relationship was a bit too fragile.
"Look! They came out!"
Suddenly, Paimon pointed with her hand and said very loudly.
Hmm?
Being told this by Paimon, Miko immediately turned her head to look, and then she saw Makoto and Kaito walking out.
Of course, she couldn't determine if that was Makoto or Acheron.
But regardless, they were out.
Afterward, Miko and the others walked toward the two who had emerged.
"How did it go?"
Because Ei was still nearby, Miko didn't dare ask the question too obviously.
