I'm so furious...
She is definitely trying to piss me off on purpose in front of the Geo Archon...
Since the Geo Archon was right beside them, Miko felt she couldn't act too out of line, and she believed Wendy was definitely seizing this chance to mess with her intentionally.
No, wait...
When is this brat ever not doing it on purpose...
Suddenly realizing this, Miko didn't know what to say.
After all, Wendy seemed to act like this wherever she went; it had nothing to do with whether the Geo Archon was beside them or not.
Of course, she still felt that Wendy must have taken this into consideration.
"To actually disrespect a god—Zhongli, how do you usually deal with those who disrespect gods?" Because Zhongli was right beside them, Wendy took this rare opportunity to invoke her status as a god to deal with Miko.
As for why she hadn't done this before, it was because Wendy felt that she had, after all, only taken someone else's Gnosis, so she had never really considered herself the true Anemo Archon.
But now, with Zhongli right beside them, she wanted to bring it up just to see how Miko would react.
Of course, this was mainly to distract Miko, preventing her from bothering Kaito too soon.
Regardless, being interrupted during that kind of thing was highly unpleasant.
Even though Kaito was already a veteran of a hundred battles in that regard, this time was different after all, so he still needed to have a proper 'battle'.
"That... depends on the situation. It cannot be generalized."
Glancing at Miko, Zhongli hesitated for a moment before saying this, just as he was preparing to set down his teacup.
After saying that, he set down the teacup in his hand, looking as if he were preparing to do something.
Miko: "???"
Looking at the Geo Archon, and then at Wendy, Miko suddenly felt as though things were taking a turn for the worse.
Coupled with the fact that she wasn't in Inazuma right now, she was genuinely worried that Wendy would actually do something to her under the pretext of disrespecting a god.
Although the Geo Archon was right beside them, from what she understood, He was a very stern god. Even without what Wendy had just said, He certainly wouldn't be lenient towards those who broke contracts.
Of course, she hadn't broken any contract, but she had indeed just offended a god, even if only slightly.
"When did I ever offend a god, Wendy?" Feeling that she needed to say something, Miko immediately explained herself.
However, if it were in the past, she definitely wouldn't have just called Wendy by her name like this; at most, she would have called her a smelly brat or a little girl.
But now, she obviously couldn't continue calling her that.
It had to be said that she was caught quite off guard right now. After all, Wendy had never used her status as a god against her before.
"Because you called me a brat. Doesn't that count?"
Seeing Miko actually trying to explain herself, Wendy pressed her advantage.
Originally, she thought Miko would definitely just laugh it off and ignore her talk of offending a god, but it turned out Miko actually seemed frightened by her, which surprised her a bit.
Therefore, she decided to continue on this topic to see what Miko would ultimately do.
"Not at all. 'Brat' is just a term of endearment from an elder to a junior. How is that disrespectful?" Seeing that the Geo Archon didn't say anything more, Miko figured He would likely stay out of it. Thus, she wasn't as panicked anymore, and even began to defend her words.
But in all honesty, she truly didn't mean to disrespect Wendy by calling her a brat. She just habitually called her that because she looked young; at most, it was just a nickname.
"Then I'll just call you Grandma Miko from now on." In response to Miko's explanation, Wendy thought for a moment and decided to call her Grandma Miko.
Anyway, she didn't really intend to do anything to Miko; she just wanted to stall for time, so giving Miko the title of 'Grandma' wasn't a bad idea.
This way, the next time she bickered with Miko, she would have a new nickname to call her besides 'Little Fox'.
Wait!
Suddenly realizing an issue, Wendy found that she seemed to be at a disadvantage.
After all, if she called Miko 'Grandma', wouldn't she genuinely become her junior, and drastically lower her own seniority at that?
However, Wendy also knew that this premise relied on Miko accepting being called 'Grandma' by her, and Miko wouldn't necessarily accept it.
After all, for women, age was still a very important issue, especially when it came to forms of address.
Wendy felt that Miko probably wouldn't even accept being called 'Auntie Miko', let alone 'Grandma'.
Grandma Miko?
This brat!!!
Upon hearing Wendy call her 'Grandma', Miko was absolutely furious, almost blurting out 'brat' again.
But soon, she realized that she could actually use this to her advantage.
But if she actually did that, it would mean she accepted the 'Grandma' title, which she was still unwilling to do.
After all, she was still very young. How could she be called 'Grandma' by this little girl?
And more importantly, it was highly likely that Wendy would later accuse her of disrespecting a god again.
Forget it...
Who wants to be a grandma!
After thinking it over repeatedly, Miko decided to pass up the opportunity to be the grandmother of this brat, Wendy.
"I'm not that old, am I? Just calling me Big Sister Miko will do," Miko said nonchalantly, indicating that Wendy could just call her Big Sister.
Regardless. Moving forward, she shouldn't let Wendy make her mad.
Right...
Wasn't I here to find Kaito?
This brat made me completely forget about that...
However, it seemed that his coming here this time wasn't simple...
I wonder what it's about...
Suddenly remembering this, Miko grew curious again. She even wanted to ask the Geo Archon in front of her right now.
But she also knew that if things were truly as she suspected, then it was highly probable she wouldn't easily find out what it was.
"How about Auntie Miko?" Seeing that Miko indeed cared a lot about the issue of address, Wendy immediately suggested this.
Auntie?
This brat saw that I cared about the form of address and sure enough, she started...
Glancing at Wendy beside her, Miko suddenly felt a bit of regret.
Had she known, she would have just accepted the 'Grandma' title earlier and officially become Wendy's grandma. However, 'Auntie' wasn't too bad either, she supposed.
Thinking this, Miko smiled sweetly and said, "Be good now, Little Wendy."
As she spoke, she even reached out, preparing to pat Wendy on the head.
"There's no need for that, Auntie Miko."
Not expecting Miko to do this, Wendy immediately pulled her head back a bit to avoid being touched.
"Little Wendy is treating me like such a stranger," Miko casually remarked.
Retracting her outstretched hand, she knew she had successfully disgusted Wendy a little.
I wonder if this sort of thing is trendy nowadays...?
