Forget it...
Ask first, think later.
Feeling that she still needed to ask to know if Wendy actually understood Kiana, Miko opened her mouth and said, "Wendy, you..."
"Why is your tone so good today, you little fox? You definitely have something to ask of me, right?"
Before Miko could even finish speaking, Wendy had already interrupted her with this sentence, and her tone seemed to carry a hint of smugness.
This stinky brat!!!
Swallowing back the unfinished words, Miko was incredibly angry at this moment.
Originally, she intended to ask Wendy something, but this stinky brat was already pushing her luck before she could even finish her question.
However, angry as she was, on the surface, Miko still maintained a smiling appearance.
There was no helping it; she had to ask about Kiana.
Even if she had to let this little girl step on her head temporarily, it would be fine. As long as she obtained some answers regarding Kiana, even just a little bit would suffice.
Huu—
Calm down!
Must stay calm!
Warning herself continuously in her heart, Miko continued to ask, "Oh my, I didn't expect you to see through it, Wendy. I do indeed have something to ask you."
Although Wendy had just said she had something to 'beg' of her, Miko ultimately changed Wendy's words to 'ask' her instead of 'beg' her.
There was no helping it; she did this subconsciously with Wendy, even though she originally thought of repeating Wendy's words completely.
But since she had already subconsciously changed it, she wouldn't try to correct it.
She knew that doing so would only make Wendy push her luck further.
Wait a minute!
Did she just call me a little fox?
Just as Miko was waiting for Wendy's answer, she suddenly remembered that Wendy had just called her a little fox, which made her incredibly angry all over again.
Truly an annoying little girl...
Silently thinking this, Miko decided to pretend she hadn't heard those words. Now, she would just see what Wendy had to say.
"So what is it? To make you ask me so nicely, this is obviously very strange." Not continuing to make things difficult for Miko, Wendy directly asked this question.
Because her answer later would be that she didn't understand either, she wouldn't make things too difficult for Miko now, to avoid making her too angry.
"It's about Kiana. Are you... familiar with her?" Ignoring Wendy's description of her, Miko directly asked the question she wanted an answer to.
This time, she didn't take it for granted that Wendy was definitely familiar with Kiana, but asked first.
However, if it were before, she would definitely have had a good verbal spar with Wendy first instead of asking directly, but now was obviously not the right time.
Anyway, there would be plenty of opportunities later; there was no need to rush in this moment.
"Familiar, yeah." Under Miko's gaze, Wendy nodded vigorously, which gave Miko hope.
Great...
Wendy definitely knows something...
Seeing Wendy answer her like this, Miko immediately felt that the matter regarding Kiana was settled.
Even if Kiana's identity couldn't be confirmed in the end, she would definitely know at least some things.
"Then do you know where Kiana comes from?" Looking at Wendy, Miko asked this question full of hope. Then, fearing her description wasn't precise enough, she added, "Like, do you know where she is from?"
Because she felt Wendy might not know about the Sustainer either, Miko decided to first ask where Kiana came from.
"I don't know." Under Miko's hopeful gaze, Wendy shook her head very decisively.
Miko: "???"
Her originally hopeful face began to turn strange; Miko clearly hadn't expected Wendy to answer her like this.
For a moment, the group fell silent, appearing somewhat awkward.
This stinky brat is playing me!
Soon, Miko, having come back to her senses, immediately realized this point.
Obviously, Wendy must have heard her conversation with Mei from the side earlier, and then she deliberately ran out to say she was very familiar with Kiana.
Damn it!
I really want to beat her up!!!
Looking at Wendy expressionlessly, Miko's fist hardened.
But there was no helping it; Wendy's fist was obviously harder. She couldn't beat her.
Sigh...
Should I just go ask Kiana directly?
But she doesn't seem like she wants to answer...
Turning around to look at the inn in the distance, Miko thought silently.
"Why aren't you continuing?" At this moment, Wendy's voice came from behind again.
Continue being played by you?
Silently thinking this, Miko turned her head and said, "You don't even know, so what should I continue with? Asking is useless."
As she said this, Miko looked speechless, completely lacking the hopeful feeling she had just a moment ago.
"If you don't continue asking, how do you know if I know or not?" Wendy laid out her reasoning.
Does this little girl take me for a fool?
Seeing that Wendy seemed to actually know something, Miko thought this somewhat speechlessly.
"Fine, then do you know if Kiana is the Sustainer?"
After thinking for a moment, Miko directly asked this question.
Actually, she felt there was a high probability Wendy didn't know, or even if she did, she wouldn't tell her. But since the jar was already broken, she might as well give it a try.
"What is a Sustainer?" As Miko expected, Wendy asked this back directly, obviously not knowing of the Sustainer's existence either.
Forget it, forget it...
Better to wait for that guy Kaito...
I wonder where he ran off to date Lumine now...
Thinking this, Miko looked around, as if wanting to see if Kaito had returned, but naturally, there was no sign of Kaito around.
"What are you looking at?" Wendy asked Miko again at this moment.
"Looking for that guy Kaito, surprisingly he hasn't returned yet."
Regarding Wendy's words, Miko said this subconsciously.
"He won't be back for these few days," Wendy answered quickly.
Since Kaito wouldn't be back for a few days, Wendy explained the situation.
"Huh? Why? Where did he go?"
Not expecting to hear such an answer, Miko immediately turned her head to look at Wendy.
Originally, she thought she would see Kaito tomorrow, but Wendy said he wouldn't return for a few days.
Where did he go?
"He went to Liyue with Lumine. Seems like there's something they need to handle." Wendy answered quickly again.
Went to Liyue?
What are they doing in Liyue?
Subconsciously thinking this, Miko was very puzzled. She didn't know how Kaito and Lumine ended up running off to Liyue.
And more importantly, to not return for several days.
What are they doing?
Did they go traveling?
