"That's not it. Kaito definitely wouldn't do that, unless they were going to do something that requires a great deal of strength."
Regarding what Miko said, Lumine felt it wouldn't be like that.
In her view, the only thing that would keep her from joining him was her lack of strength.
There was no helping it; Kaito and Wendy's strength was simply too great, and she didn't possess that level of power.
"With them being that strong, bringing you along wouldn't be a problem at all."
Not expecting Lumine to think of it from this angle, Miko couldn't help but chuckle.
Right now, she couldn't shake the feeling that Lumine seemed to be constantly defending Kaito.
Although what Lumine said was indeed true, she still had this lingering feeling, and she didn't know if it was just her imagination.
"I think so too."
Lumine nodded, expressing her agreement with Miko's point.
However, her response only made Miko more curious as she asked, "Then why did you say that just now?"
"Because there are always special circumstances. No one can say for sure."
Facing Miko's question, Lumine quickly replied in this manner.
After all, the world was so big, there were bound to be all sorts of unexpected situations.
"Why does it feel like... no matter what I ask, you can always find an excuse for Kaito?"
At this point, Miko finally confirmed that her feeling wasn't an illusion.
It was obvious that Lumine had been speaking up for Kaito this entire time; this point was now beyond doubt.
"Uh... do I? What I said isn't wrong, though."
Not expecting Miko to say this, Lumine was caught off guard and felt a bit embarrassed.
But even so, she felt that what she said was correct.
"Yes, yes, of course you're not wrong."
Seeing Lumine like this, Miko couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Naturally, she wasn't just brushing Lumine off; she simply couldn't hold back a laugh at Lumine's current demeanor.
She had to admit, Lumine was quite cute like this.
However, after finishing her laugh, Miko couldn't help but recall the incident between her and Kaito at Ritou Inn previously.
Back then, they were also a man and a woman alone in a room together. She had even gone that far at the time, but in the end, absolutely nothing had happened.
Sigh...
What an infuriating guy!
Recalling the events of that day, Miko felt incredibly exasperated.
Although it wasn't like she absolutely had to give her first time away, comparing her situation to the present made her feel a bit awkward.
Even if it was possible that Lumine had done something even more outrageous than what she did back then, she still harbored a bit of a grudge over it.
Furthermore, after her probing just now, she felt that Lumine clearly wasn't the type to be all that proactive.
Forget it...
I might as well go see what that little girl Wendy is up to...
Thinking it over, Miko decided to go find Wendy and bicker with her a bit to relax her mood.
"I'm going to see what that little girl Wendy is doing."
Saying this, Miko stood up.
"Alright."
Lumine also stood up.
Wendy's room.
Knock, knock, knock—
"Little Anemo Archon girl, what are you doing?"
Standing in front of Wendy's door, Miko knocked, this time directly addressing Wendy as the little Anemo Archon girl.
As for why, it was naturally to provoke Wendy into starting a bickering match with her.
Right...
This should be Kaito's room, right...?
While waiting for Wendy to open the door, Miko suddenly realized this point.
She figured that Wendy and Kaito would definitely be staying together next.
Even though Kaito and Lumine had just done that yesterday, this little girl Wendy definitely wouldn't sleep alone.
Creak—
"What is it, little fox?"
Opening the door, Wendy's hair was wet, clearly indicating she had just taken a shower.
Taking a shower this early...
Could she be preparing for that kind of thing?
Discovering that Wendy had just finished showering, Miko subconsciously thought this. She even mentally pictured the process of Wendy bringing up that kind of thing with Kaito.
"Why do you keep staring at me, little fox?"
Seeing Miko staring at her without saying a word, Wendy found it incredibly strange.
I just finished showering, there shouldn't be anything on my face, right?
Regarding Miko's continuous staring, Wendy somewhat suspected that there might be something on her face.
But she had only just finished washing up, so the possibility of that was very slim.
Therefore, what exactly was Miko doing?
"I'm naturally just curious as to why you didn't go out with Kaito."
Snapping back to reality, Miko said this in a matter-of-fact tone.
There was no helping it; the things she had just been thinking about obviously couldn't be said out loud, nor did she want to voice them.
"It's not like I have to be with Kai all the time. Besides, if it weren't for you, I'd still be in Inazuma right now."
Wendy quickly replied to Miko's words in this manner.
However, she couldn't shake the feeling that Miko wasn't telling the truth.
Or to put it another way, Miko still hadn't answered the question she just asked.
But whatever, if Miko didn't want to say it, it wasn't her place to press the issue.
Furthermore, it would be quite difficult for Wendy to pry the answer out of her. If it were Kaito, it might have been possible.
Why does it feel like this little girl doesn't care at all about what Kaito and Lumine are doing in Liyue...?
And does Wendy even know about what happened between those two yesterday?
After listening to Wendy's words, Miko couldn't help but think this to herself.
She had to admit, she was quite curious about the answers to these two questions.
Unfortunately, neither of these questions were appropriate for her to ask out loud.
"You're so fast, a round trip wouldn't take you long anyway."
Thinking it over, Miko ultimately didn't ask those two questions she was curious about, merely playing along with Wendy's words instead.
"So why did you suddenly come looking for me? Is there something wrong with Kai?"
Wendy obviously knew whether she herself had anything going on or not; her main point was asking why Miko had come over to her room.
"That guy went out by himself and hasn't come back yet. What could possibly be wrong?"
Pausing for a moment, Miko continued, "I just came to see what you were up to. I didn't expect you to be taking a shower this early."
"Flying all the way over here, of course I needed to take a shower," Wendy quickly replied.
But she still had that lingering feeling right now—the feeling that Miko wasn't telling the truth.
Could it be because of Lumine?
But if it was about Lumine, why would she come looking for me?
Pondering this question, Wendy felt incredibly puzzled.
It was just that there was no helping it; it truly wasn't appropriate for her to ask about that kind of thing.
"Alright, then are you done washing up?"
Miko asked again.
"Yeah, I'm done," Wendy nodded and quickly replied.
"It's a bit boring. Do you want to go out for a stroll together? We can ask Lumine to come along too."
Thinking about it, Miko decided they should all go out for a walk together.
As for Kaito, he could go do whatever he wanted.
"Sure."
Wendy quickly agreed.
She had to admit, Miko was acting noticeably strange right now, so she wanted to see what Miko would do or ask next.
"Then I'll go get Lumine. You fix your hair first."
After saying this, Miko turned around and walked toward Lumine's room.
