"You didn't just happen to come by, did you? That would be too much of a coincidence."
Before Makoto and Ei could speak, Miko added another sentence, wearing a look of sudden realization on her face.
Although she wouldn't ask if Ei came here out of worry for her, she still had to tease her a bit.
"So, where did that girl go?"
Ignoring Miko's teasing, Ei looked at the inn not far away and asked directly.
Regardless, she needed to know why Miko was alone right now.
"Her? She should be chatting with Kiana."
Seeing Ei ask, Miko also turned her head to look at the inn nearby.
Kiana?
Hearing this unfamiliar name, Ei was curious about its owner, so she asked, "Kiana? Who is she? Your friend?"
"I forgot, you haven't met her yet."
Hearing Ei's question, Miko realized she hadn't met Kiana. "Her... she is also Kaito's girlfriend. However, she doesn't seem to like going out much, so you haven't seen her."
Because she didn't know Kiana well, Miko didn't know why she often stayed in the room.
Of course, Kiana might not necessarily be just staying in the room; perhaps she appeared in other places, who could say?
"He really has a lot of girlfriends."
After hearing that the person named Kiana was also Kaito's girlfriend, Ei couldn't help but remark.
It couldn't be helped; Kaito indeed had quite a few girlfriends.
However, this wasn't actually very important. It was just that since she was related to Kaito—someone she couldn't see through—she paid a bit of attention.
If it were anyone else, she wouldn't bother so much. Of course, now she had another concern: whether this Kiana was also an extraordinary being.
Because apart from Kiana whom she hadn't met, none of Kaito's other girlfriends were simple. Thus, she subconsciously felt that Kiana should be the same.
"Indeed, there are quite a few."
At this moment, Makoto spoke up. She agreed with Ei's words, and then continued, "I wonder what kind of person this Miss Kiana is. I'm a bit curious."
It had to be said that Kaito's girlfriends each had their own style, so she was also curious about this Kiana she had never met.
"If you're curious, just go meet her and you'll know."
Seeing Makoto constantly looking toward the inn, Miko said this. Then she added, "Anyway, she's quite pretty. I really don't know where that guy finds so many girlfriends."
"Then let's go."
Listening to the conversation between Miko and Makoto from the side, Ei said this and walked directly toward the inn.
Since Makoto wanted to take a look, then let's take a look.
Of course, she was actually a bit curious herself.
"I didn't expect Ei to be so curious too."
Looking at Ei's retreating figure, Miko was obviously somewhat surprised. She hadn't expected Ei to be curious about what someone else's girlfriend looked like.
"Let's go over too."
Leaving this sentence behind, Makoto walked toward Ei, and Miko followed closely behind.
"Don't walk so fast."
Inside the inn.
Why did they all come over...
Sitting on the bed in the room, Kiana glanced toward the wall and thought silently.
She knew that Ei, Miko, and Makoto had already arrived outside the inn.
Should I go out, or should Mobius go out?
Standing up and glancing at Mobius beside her, Kiana considered whether it would be better for herself to go out or for Mobius to go out.
If another version of herself were here, she wouldn't have to consider so much, but her situation here was different.
Forget it... Let's just go out together...
Anyway, the Raiden Shogun must have already learned of my existence from Miko...
After thinking about it, Kiana decided to go out together with Mobius.
However, when the time came, she wouldn't pretend to be the Sustainer of Heavenly Principles.
Of course, as for what the Raiden Shogun would think, that was her business.
Afterward, Kiana sat back down on the bed.
She certainly wouldn't go out voluntarily; she would wait for Miko to come and knock.
Knock, knock, knock—
Just as she was thinking this, a knock came from outside the door.
So fast...
Standing up, Kiana walked toward the door, while Mobius followed closely behind her.
Outside the room.
Did Mobius already go in?
Or... did she leave?
Having knocked on the door, Miko thought silently. She was very curious about where Mobius had gone.
Creak—
Soon, the door opened, and she saw Kiana standing in the doorway.
"Kiana, I..."
"The Sustainer?!"
Just as Miko was about to say something, voices filled with astonishment came from Ei and Makoto behind her.
Sustainer?
Stunned for a moment, Miko turned around to find that both Ei and Makoto were extremely surprised, which left her completely confused.
Sustainer?
Hm?
The Sustainer???
After thinking for a moment, Miko understood what "Sustainer" meant.
But... who is the Sustainer?
Kiana?
Or Mobius?
Turning her head back again, Miko's gaze wandered between Kiana and Mobius behind her.
It couldn't be helped; although she knew of the Sustainer's existence, she had never met the Sustainer, nor did she know what she looked like.
"What are you talking about?"
Just as Miko and the others outside the door were in their respective states of doubt and surprise, Kiana spoke.
Then, before Miko and the others could say anything, Mobius continued, "Sustainer? A nice title. Kiana, I can't believe you gave yourself such a title. I never would have guessed."
Ei: "!"
She is Kiana???
Looking at the young girl before her, Ei was frozen, unsure of the situation.
Clearly, the person standing before her now was almost exactly the same as the Sustainer.
If not for the sentence the other party had just spoken, she would have directly assumed the other party was the Sustainer.
But even so, what was this situation?
Continuing to look at the other party, Ei thought of many things.
At first, she wondered if the other party had come directly to her because she had severed her connection with Celestia.
But now, it seemed that wasn't the case.
But... is that really so?
Her brows couldn't help but furrow tightly; Ei still hadn't set her mind at ease.
Why did everyone stop talking...
Forget it... I'll speak?
Seeing that Ei and Makoto remained silent, Miko decided to speak up herself.
She asked, "Kiana, are you... the Sustainer?"
Although Kiana's behavior just now clearly didn't admit to being the Sustainer, she felt that Ei probably didn't think that way, and definitely had her reasons.
Therefore, she couldn't just assume Kiana wasn't the Sustainer.
