"Say, Mei."
Looking at Mei standing before her, Miko prepared to ask about the recent events.
She felt that Mei definitely knew something.
But would Mei tell her? Or rather, how much did Mei actually know?
"You want to ask about what just happened, don't you?"
Seeing Miko's hesitant look, Acheron asked directly.
She knew there was a high probability Miko would ask about the recent events. Regarding this, she had already decided how to answer.
"Mei really understands me. I love you to death."
Surprised that Mei would speak first, Miko was in a good mood.
Since she brought it up, Mei would likely explain the situation regarding that matter.
"Please don't 'love me to death.' I still want to continue living."
Regarding Miko's words, Acheron responded expressionlessly.
"Oh my, Mei, that was just a figure of speech. A figure of speech! You know?"
Not expecting Mei to be so literal, Miko had to explain.
If it were anyone else, she would definitely think the other party was joking with her. But this person wasn't anyone else; it was Mei. So, she felt Mei definitely meant it literally.
"Mm."
Acheron nodded and did not continue speaking.
Although she had actively brought up the matter to Miko, she wouldn't continue speaking on her own initiative; she would wait for Miko to continue questioning.
This way, it would appear that she wasn't too concerned about the issue.
Why did she stop talking...
Forget it...
I'll just ask.
Looking at Mei, Miko waited but Mei didn't start explaining that matter, so she decided to ask herself.
"Mei, do you know what's going on with Kiana? Why does she... look so much like that Sustainer?"
This time, Miko was much more direct, voicing the question she wanted answered.
Although she hadn't met the Sustainer, judging by the reactions of Ei and Makoto earlier, the resemblance must be striking.
"What is a Sustainer?"
Facing Miko's question, Acheron delivered this line directly.
"Huh?"
Stunned for a moment, Miko hadn't expected Mei not to know of the Sustainer's existence.
Originally, she assumed that since Mei was so powerful, she would definitely know about the Sustainer. As it turned out, she didn't.
"The Sustainer is... well... how should I put it? Anyway, it's an existence that stands above the gods."
Since she didn't understand the Sustainer well herself, Miko didn't quite know how to explain it to Mei.
However, she also realized that since Mei didn't know about the Sustainer, she likely didn't know anything else either.
In Mei's eyes, perhaps Kiana was just another girl who shared a boyfriend with her.
Sigh...
It seems I'll have to ask that guy Kaito...
But he hasn't come back yet...
In that moment, many thoughts crossed Miko's mind.
"It seems there are quite a few people in Teyvat who can defeat gods."
Regarding Miko's description of an existence "above the gods," Acheron couldn't help but make a retort.
In her view, the status of Teyvat's gods wasn't particularly high, nor were they invincible.
Setting aside an outlander like herself, even some natives of Teyvat possessed power not inferior to the gods.
"Huh?"
Stunned once again, Miko hadn't expected Mei to suddenly say something like that. She then continued, "Indeed, some people obtain power that doesn't belong to them from strange and bizarre places."
However, after speaking, Miko couldn't help but wonder: Does Mei really know nothing about Kiana?
No!
I have to ask again!
After deliberating, Miko decided to continue asking about Kiana.
Since Mei didn't know about the Sustainer, she would ask if Mei knew where Kiana came from.
"Mei, do you know anything about Kiana?"
"I don't." Acheron's answer was quick and brief.
Miko: "..."
Continuing to look at the expressionless Mei before her, Miko looked like she wanted to say something but stopped.
Originally, she had prepared some questions and was ready to ask, but Mei directly stated she didn't know Kiana. In that case, her questions couldn't be asked at all.
After all, if Mei didn't know Kiana, asking further would be meaningless.
"Good heavens, Mei, don't you all try to get to know each other? Aren't you all that guy's girlfriends?"
Thinking about how both Mei and Kiana were Kaito's girlfriends, Miko couldn't help but voice her confusion.
She found it truly strange; it felt as if Mei and Kiana didn't know each other at all.
One had to realize, they were both Kaito's girlfriends. Shouldn't they meet often? To not know each other despite that... it left Miko truly speechless.
However, after her speechlessness passed, Miko recalled that Kiana rarely appeared. Coupled with the fact that Mei was clearly someone who wasn't good at communicating, she felt somewhat relieved.
...
Indeed, it would be difficult for two such people to communicate...
And that guy Kaito is pretty much the same!
At this moment, Miko felt a deep sense of powerlessness.
"Communication? Indeed, there is very little."
Nodding, Acheron seemed to agree with Miko's words.
"Does that guy not manage the matters between you all? At least he should have you communicate a bit more, right?"
Seeing Mei agree with her so readily, Miko spoke with great exasperation.
She was truly curious about the usual state of Kaito's girlfriends.
Beyond asking about Kiana, Miko had now decided that she would also ask Mei what they usually did.
It had to be said, seeing the current state of Kaito's girlfriends, Miko even wanted to help him.
Regardless, they were all in the same boat; they should communicate properly.
"Sister Mei, why are you standing here?"
Just then, Wendy's voice drifted over from a distance.
Wendy?
As soon as she heard the voice, Miko knew it was Wendy. Subconsciously, she looked in the direction the voice came from.
"We are chatting about some things," Acheron answered quickly.
"Chatting? About what?" Wendy seemed quite curious.
"About Kiana."
Seeing Wendy arrive, Miko quickly interjected.
Since Mei didn't know about Kiana, she would ask this little girl, Wendy.
This little girl should know something, right?
Thinking about this question, Miko was actually not very sure.
It couldn't be helped; if Mei didn't know, it was possible that Wendy didn't know either.
