"I definitely don't know the answer to that question; asking me is useless."
Spreading her hands helplessly, Miko indicated that she also didn't know if Kaito was from Celestia. After all, if he didn't say anything, how could she know?
Right... Mei...
At this moment, Miko suddenly remembered that Mei was actually right there; she could ask her. However, after glancing at Makoto, she didn't ask immediately. After all, she didn't know yet if Makoto intended to reveal Mei's existence. Moreover, there was no need to rush. As long as Ei wasn't around later, she could ask directly. Of course, Mei wouldn't necessarily answer her, but regardless, she had already decided to ask, just not right now.
"Then where is he now? He should still be in Inazuma, right?"
Seeing that Miko didn't know, Ei turned to ask this question. From earlier until now, She hadn't seen Kaito, which could only mean he wasn't at the inn. As for whether he was still in Inazuma, She knew even less.
"He is, but he went on a date with his girlfriend." Miko nodded quickly.
"A date? With which one?"
Because the other party had too many girlfriends, Ei subconsciously asked this question.
"Lumine. That girl named Lumine." Miko's answer was swift again this time.
"I see. Then tell me when he comes back tomorrow."
Nodding, Ei formed a plan to talk to Kaito again. Clearly, Makoto's return this time was not a simple matter. Although such things were never simple to begin with, after seeing that girl who suspectedly resembled the Sustainer, She felt this was even more complex than She had previously thought.
Regardless, the other party definitely had some purpose for letting Makoto return. As for what this purpose was, She didn't know yet. She had tried asking before, but the other party refused to answer. Therefore, She planned to try again tomorrow. No matter what it was, She had to know; otherwise, She couldn't be at ease.
"No problem."
Knowing that Ei wanted to talk to Kaito again, Miko naturally agreed to help notify him. However, regarding Kaito's previous behavior of dodging questions like Tai Chi, she felt that there was a high probability nothing would be asked this time either.
"I feel like that guy will definitely look like he won't say anything again; he was just like that before." Having said this, Miko sighed.
"Miko, if you ask him, would he speak?"
Ei was naturally aware of what Miko was saying, so She wanted to know if Miko could get some information if she were the one asking. No matter how much, as long as there was some, it would be better than Her asking and getting nothing.
"I feel... he wouldn't either." After speaking, Miko spread her hands, looking quite helpless.
" isn't your relationship with him quite good? And aren't you his girlfriend?"
Looking at Miko, Ei asked with some confusion. In Her view, the relationship between Miko and Kaito was not ordinary; she should be able to get something out of him.
"Oh my, let's just say it's somewhere between yes and no. But I'll ask him when the time comes and see if that guy is willing to tell me a few things."
Because she felt that continuing to discuss this matter with Ei would force her to say some embarrassing things, Miko quickly indicated that she would ask Kaito, though she couldn't guarantee she would get an answer.
"'Yes is yes, no is no'—Miko, are you being ambiguous with him?"
At this moment, Makoto, who was on the side, couldn't help but laugh.
"Maybe it's just like that."
Spreading her hands again, Miko essentially admitted to Makoto's statement. Of course, mostly because she didn't want to continue this topic too much.
"Then if you really like him, just be a bit more direct. Or perhaps I can make him be a bit more direct?" Makoto said this to Miko with a hint of teasing.
Direct? I was already very direct back then...
Regarding Makoto's words, Miko thought this silently. Of course, she wouldn't say it out loud. After all, if she did, Makoto would ask how she was direct, and she certainly couldn't say that. Although she did that back then, it didn't mean she would talk about it.
"No need, no need, I have my own ideas."
After thinking for a moment, Miko waved her hand at Makoto to indicate it wasn't necessary. But in reality, Miko herself didn't know what this 'idea' was; she was just using it to brush them off.
"Alright then, I'll leave it to you first. Just come find me after you've asked."
After saying this, Ei prepared to leave. However, because She didn't know if She needed to arrange a place for Makoto, She appeared a bit hesitant at this moment.
"No problem. Whatever the result is, I'll come find you, Ei." Miko nodded.
Afterward, the group stood in place, no one speaking.
"Then I'll leave first."
After a long while, Ei left after saying this sentence. After thinking about it, She felt that Makoto definitely had a place to stay, so She went back first.
"To think she left so fast."
Looking around, Miko spoke leisurely. Actually, she was just preparing to say something. After all, it was a bit strange for several people to stand here without saying a word, but before she could speak, Ei had left. Of course, this was perfect; she could ask Mei now.
"Miko, aren't you going back yet?"
Looking at Miko who was still standing in place, Makoto spoke. Because Ei had already left, She prepared to return control of the body to Mei; She had already used someone else's body for a long time today.
"I have something to say to Mei." Regarding Makoto's question, Miko answered like this.
"Is that so? Then I'll go first. You and Mei chat slowly."
After Makoto finished this sentence, Miko could clearly see Her demeanor change. At this moment, she knew that the person before her was Mei.
"Good evening, Mei."
Without asking if it was Mei, Miko greeted her directly.
"Good evening."
Responding to her was a voice devoid of emotion, and this was the tone Mei possessed; Makoto would never be like this.
"These two sisters run off so fast, one by one. Really now."
Not immediately asking the question she wanted the answer to, Miko first complained a bit about Makoto and Ei.
"Then why don't you tell them to run slower next time?" Acheron retorted against Miko like this. However, she knew that Miko definitely wouldn't dare to do so; she only dared to pay lip service.
"If they run fast, let them run fast. That's fine too."
Seeing Acheron suggest this, Miko immediately changed her tune. She felt that if she really nodded along with Mei's words, Mei would definitely tell Ei what she said here. Therefore, she better not say anymore. Of course, there were more important matters right now.
