"Just looking to sit and chat with you for a bit." With a smile, Miko made to step inside, and Lumine made way for her.
However, halfway through the door, Miko suddenly stopped, as if she had just thought of something.
"What's wrong? Aren't you coming in?"
Seeing Miko standing at the door, seemingly hesitating whether to enter or not, Lumine felt quite confused and couldn't help but ask directly.
If Miko wanted to come in, she would certainly agree, but she simply couldn't figure out what Miko was doing right now.
"I just thought it might be a bit abrupt of me." Saying this, Miko walked inside and continued, "I suddenly realized I was about to enter your room without even asking for your opinion first."
"I don't really mind that at all."
Closing the door, Lumine turned around to look at Miko's back and said this.
After all, the two of them could already be considered friends, so she naturally wouldn't mind the other entering her room.
However, she also knew that Miko definitely had something she wanted to talk to her about.
"Shall I sit down, then?" Miko asked, pointing a finger at the bed nearby.
"Go ahead and sit. I was just wondering where to have you sit since there are no chairs."
Lumine nodded.
Afterward, both Miko and Lumine sat down on the edge of the bed.
Could she be wanting to ask what Kaito and I are doing in Liyue?
After sitting down, Lumine suddenly thought of this point, feeling it was highly likely.
Even so, she definitely wouldn't bring it up on her own; she had to wait for Miko to ask first.
Otherwise, if Miko wasn't actually going to ask about that, she would end up embarrassing herself.
More importantly, how could she possibly bring that kind of thing up voluntarily? She might not even say it even if Miko asked.
"The room arranged by the Geo Archon is quite nice."
Under Lumine's gaze, Miko carefully observed the interior of the room.
"Yeah, he is the Geo Archon, after all. He would definitely handle these aspects well." Lumine nodded once again.
She was waiting, waiting for Miko to state her true purpose. Clearly, Miko wasn't just here to comment on how good the Geo Archon's arrangements were.
"So, you guys moved in yesterday, right?" Miko suddenly turned her head to look at Lumine.
"Yeah."
Lumine knew that the real questions were definitely coming next.
"Then... did you take the initiative? Or rather, did that guy... take the initiative?" Making eye contact with Lumine, Miko stopped dawdling and directly asked this question.
Honestly, if she were to guess herself, she felt they definitely did something yesterday.
As for who took the initiative, she had no idea.
Of course, she was probably about to find out.
"Initiative? Initiative for... what?" Even though she knew exactly what Miko was asking, perhaps out of shyness, Lumine subconsciously fired the question back at Miko.
It should be Kaito who took the initiative, right...?
Having just spoken, Lumine immediately thought this to herself, though she hadn't voiced it out loud yet.
"Oh my, do you truly not understand or are you just pretending? Doing that kind of thing, of course."
Not expecting Lumine to ask her what she meant by 'initiative', Miko said this with some exasperation.
She felt that Lumine definitely understood what she was saying, but was clearly playing dumb.
But it didn't matter; she just had to keep asking.
"It should be... Kaito who took the initiative, I think..."
Seeing Miko like this, Lumine had no choice but to answer directly.
There was no helping it. Since the other party was being so straightforward, she clearly couldn't continue playing dumb.
Besides, there was no harm in letting Miko know about this kind of thing.
"Then it seems both of you took the initiative. Not bad, not bad." Regarding Lumine's answer, Miko interpreted it as both of them taking the initiative, rather than just one side.
"...Maybe... I guess..." Actually, Lumine didn't know if she counted as taking the initiative, which was why she said 'should be', rather than using a definitive tone.
However, with Miko saying they both took the initiative, she felt that was probably correct too.
"Like I said, it's good to be proactive."
Seeing Lumine's bashful appearance, Miko smiled.
Honestly, she wanted to ask for more details, but in Lumine's eyes, she was still a grand shrine maiden, so she still needed to leave a proper impression.
Therefore, she decided to leave the topic at that.
"Yeah." Lumine nodded.
Miko was indeed right; it was better to be proactive, no matter who it was.
"But could that guy have planned this all along? With so many of his girlfriends over in Inazuma, he purposefully ran all the way over here to Liyue." Whether she was muttering to herself or asking Lumine, Miko suddenly uttered this remark, leaving Lumine at a loss for how to reply.
After thinking it over, however, Lumine still spoke up, "That shouldn't be the case. He still has other things to do, so he'll be staying in Liyue for a few days."
In truth, Lumine knew that the matter Kaito and the Geo Archon discussed only came up because they coincidentally ran into that adeptus after arriving in Liyue; he hadn't come to Liyue with that purpose in mind.
But even so, she still felt that Kaito hadn't come to Liyue with that kind of ulterior motive.
"Oh? Other things? What other things?"
Not expecting Kaito to actually have business in Liyue, Miko immediately grew interested and wanted to know what this matter could be.
"It's about... something called god remains, I think. I can't quite remember if that was the exact name."
Recalling the matter she had heard Kaito and the Geo Archon discussing earlier, Lumine said this with some uncertainty.
Because she had little interest in those affairs, she hadn't paid much attention.
"That is indeed what it's called. So it's about this." Regarding Lumine's answer, Miko nodded, indicating she was correct. At the same time, she also recalled the incident with Mei on that island previously.
Back then, with just a single draw of her blade, Mei had completely obliterated those things, truly shocking her.
And now, it seemed Kaito also possessed this kind of ability.
To think they both possess this kind of power...
I'm really curious where their abilities came from...
Recalling the previous incident with Mei, Miko was incredibly curious.
"Right, where did Kaito go now? Did he go to handle this matter?" As if thinking of something, Miko suddenly asked.
"I think so, but I'm not entirely sure."
Lumine shook her head.
"To think they'd actually go out without bringing you along. What a stinky man." Seeing that Lumine didn't know, Miko couldn't help but complain about Kaito a bit.
After all, the two of them had just done that kind of thing yesterday, yet today Kaito went out without taking Lumine. Honestly.
"They?" Stunned for a moment, Lumine hurriedly explained, "Only Kaito went out by himself. Wendy is in another room."
"I see. I thought they just dumped you here all alone."
Realizing she hadn't understood the situation, Miko quickly tried to cover for herself.
However, she was still quite curious, surprised that Wendy actually hadn't followed him out.
