"Is this how you thank someone?" Looking at Miko, Wendy appeared absolutely furious.
However, shortly after, she glanced toward the inn and began walking in that direction.
She just left like that...
That really doesn't seem like her...
Miko, who had expected Wendy to continue pestering her for a thank-you, looked at her retreating figure with a bit of curiosity.
If it were the past, Wendy definitely would have continued to bicker with her.
But regardless, this counts as her victory.
Wait a minute...
She isn't planning to drop me halfway there tomorrow, is she?
Suddenly thinking of this, Miko, who had been feeling somewhat happy, turned her head again to look in the direction Wendy had left.
And just then, Wendy's voice drifted over.
"I'm going back to sleep."
Sleep?
I think you're going back to figure out how to prank me tomorrow, aren't you?
Watching Wendy's figure drifting further and further away, Miko silently roasted her in her heart.
There was no helping it; she simply didn't believe Wendy would let it go just like that.
Of course, she still had a helper.
"I just have a feeling that girl is going to go back and think about how to mess with me tomorrow. Mei, you have to keep her in check," Miko said, turning her head to look at Mei, who was still standing in the same spot, pretending to be weak and pitiful.
"Mm, I will." Acheron nodded.
However, nodding aside, Acheron actually had a different thought in her heart.
I didn't expect Miko to think that way...
But it makes sense...
Given Wendy's usual behavior, it is indeed possible she would do that...
In reality, Wendy's sudden departure just now was to let Miko feel like she had won, so she would wait happily for the night before going to Liyue. Otherwise, given the personality Wendy had displayed before, she definitely wouldn't have left just like that.
It was just that Miko had obviously overthought it, assuming Wendy went back to plot how to prank her tomorrow.
"Then I'll get going first, Mei. See you tomorrow morning." Feeling it was time to go back and rest, Miko waved her hand at Mei and prepared to leave.
"See you tomorrow." Acheron nodded again.
Afterward, Miko departed under Acheron's gaze.
However, before Acheron could even withdraw her gaze, Miko suddenly turned her head back and said, "Remember to call Wendy tomorrow, Mei. I'm worried she won't get up."
Of course she'll get up...
Thinking this silently, Acheron nodded once more.
Alright...
I should go back to sleep too...
Thinking this, Acheron turned and walked toward the inn.
Liyue.
Morning.
Should I eat a steamed bun right now?
Carrying the breakfast he had bought while walking back, Kaito pondered silently.
Since he hadn't eaten steamed buns in a while, Kaito was craving them intensely right now.
Especially the aroma he smelled when buying the buns just now; it made him want to swallow his saliva.
However, since he was already close to the small courtyard, Kaito thought about it and decided not to open the bag yet.
But even so, Kaito still quickened his pace.
Creak.
"I'm back."
Upon opening the door, Kaito first announced his return.
Afterward, he placed the bought buns and two bowls of porridge on the table beside the bed.
"Porridge and buns? Being in Inazuma for so long, I really did miss them a bit," Lumine said as she burrowed out from the quilt.
"Lumine." Kaito, who was just about to sit on the stool, was stunned for a moment when he saw Lumine emerging from the covers.
"What's wrong?" Looking at Kaito with a puzzled expression, Lumine asked.
"Why haven't you put on clothes yet?"
Looking at Lumine's smooth skin, Kaito couldn't help but ask.
"You're actually asking me a question like that?" Sitting on the edge of the bed, Lumine looked exasperated, leaving Kaito incredibly confused.
What does this have to do with him?
It's not like he forbade Lumine from wearing clothes, right?
"Could it be that yesterday... I made some sort of request of you?" Seeing Lumine like this, Kaito couldn't help but wonder if he had made some strange and bizarre request to her yesterday.
However, after thinking carefully, he had no such memory.
Although the battle yesterday was fierce, he was battle-hardened; he definitely wouldn't forget things because of that, especially something like this.
So then...
What did this have to do with him?
"That's right, you did make a request of me."
Seeing that Kaito didn't seem to remember clearly whether he had said anything yesterday, Lumine immediately spoke up.
"A request? What request was it?" Kaito, who had originally thought he definitely hadn't made any request, began to doubt himself upon seeing Lumine's absolutely certain expression.
It was just that no matter how he recalled, he simply couldn't remember making any request to Lumine.
Did something I said cause Lumine to misunderstand?
Thinking it over and over, Kaito could only assume this was the case.
Otherwise, he really didn't know what the situation was, considering he truly didn't recall making any requests.
"It was..." As she spoke, Lumine paused, seemingly thinking about something, and didn't continue.
"It was what?"
Kaito couldn't help but ask.
Regardless of what the request was, if Lumine said it out loud, perhaps he would remember.
"It was to eat breakfast first; it'll get cold if it sits too long." Saying this, Lumine directly picked up a bun and started eating.
Because she was just making things up earlier, this request naturally didn't exist.
But even so, it still had something to do with Kaito. Who told him not to make clothes for her to change into yet?
If he had made the clothes, would she still be without clothes to wear right now?
"Is it... really okay for you to be like this?" Watching Lumine eating breakfast just like that, Kaito asked.
Although he still hadn't remembered what request he had made, now wasn't the time to talk about that.
Wait a minute...
I seem to have not made clothes for Lumine yet...
Just as Kaito was thinking about getting clothes for Lumine, he suddenly remembered that he hadn't created the clothes yet.
Last night, he was originally measuring her waist and such, but as he measured and measured, they ended up measuring their way onto the bed, and he completely forgot about the matter.
Hmm?
Could it be that Lumine was actually talking about this?
Now Kaito seemed to understand something.
"I'll make the clothes for you right now." Looking at Lumine, who was already eating the bun, Kaito said.
Make your head...
I'm like this and you don't have any reaction at all?
Continuing to eat the bun, Lumine couldn't help but roast Kaito silently in her heart.
Recalling the beautiful times of yesterday, Lumine felt that doing it again would be no problem, but this Kaito obviously didn't have that intention.
Regarding this, she couldn't possibly take the initiative to say she wanted to do that sort of thing, could she? That would be too embarrassing.
Although showing herself to Kaito like this right now wasn't that embarrassing, she was still a bit unwilling to proactively voice that kind of desire.
