"I meant for you to wear it—since when did it become me wearing it?" Saying this, Wendy looked thoroughly puzzled.
"But didn't you just mean that you'd put that thing on so as not to disturb the rest of us?"
Watching Wendy's puzzled expression, Miko gave a slight smile and explained to her.
"When did I ever mean that?" Wendy continued to insist that wasn't what she meant, then went on, "I'm saying I want you to wear it—you, wear it!"
Toward the end, Wendy even emphasized it twice for good measure.
What a stubborn-mouthed little girl!
Seeing Wendy keep up her verbal stubbornness, Miko thought it over for a moment, then turned her gaze toward Lumine, who was off to one side.
"How about this—let's have one more person weigh in. Lumine, which meaning do you think Wendy intended just now?"
Since Mobius had already agreed with her interpretation a moment ago, that left only Lumine.
"Huh? This..."
Not expecting to be dragged into it herself, Lumine, too, began to reconsider the meaning of what Wendy had just said.
Although she'd already reached a conclusion earlier, now that Miko had asked her directly, she still had to be a bit more rigorous about it.
But no matter how rigorous she was, the meaning of what Wendy had just said clearly carried that very implication Miko believed it did.
Of course, she absolutely couldn't just come out and say it that bluntly.
After mulling it over a while longer, Lumine finally spoke up: "Both meanings... were probably there, I guess. Wendy wasn't being very precise with her words just now, so it's easy to misunderstand."
Having said that, Lumine looked at Miko, then at Wendy.
"Then how about the two of you wear it together?" At this point Mobius, off to the side, suddenly chimed in like that, and then she continued, "Besides, the two of you can wear one in common~"
"As if I'd share one with her—who knows whether she's even brushed her teeth." To Mobius's words, Miko immediately retorted like this.
Although she really wanted to say she wasn't going to wear that thing at all, there was nothing to be done—everyone here had seen her wearing it, so there was no point in saying that anymore.
"You're the one who hasn't brushed her teeth, you stinky fox." Wendy shot back at once.
"You've misunderstood my meaning, Miko."
Continuing to smile on her face, Mobius slowly shook her head. "What I mean is, the two of you wear one of those little balls at the same time—at the same time, you see."
As if worried Miko still hadn't gotten it, Mobius emphasized it once more at the end of her words.
One little ball, worn by two people at the same time???
What kind of situation is this???
It has to be said, Miko was utterly dumbfounded at this point—she still hadn't understood what Mobius was saying.
After all, one little ball—how on earth could two people manage to wear it at the same time?
"Could it be that... there's that... rod on both sides?" Just as Miko was about to ask Mobius how two people could possibly wear one little ball at the same time, Lumine, off to the side, spoke up timidly.
A moment ago, Lumine had pictured in her mind the scene of two people wearing that little ball at the same time, and then she realized that the little ball could indeed have that rod on both sides.
Lumine actually knew about this thing that even Miko didn't know about?
Looking at Lumine, Mobius was somewhat surprised too. She hadn't expected that the usually conservative-seeming Lumine would know about this thing, while Miko didn't.
"There's that thing on both sides???"
Prompted like that by Lumine, Miko, too, wore an expression of sudden realization. Just like Lumine, she pictured in her mind what shape that sort of thing was, as well as the scene of the two of them wearing it at the same time.
It has to be said, this was actually rather stimulating.
The two of them wearing that thing face to face, drool unstoppably trickling down, unable to say a word even if embarrassed.
Wait, wait!
Why would Lumine know about this kind of thing???
And Mobius too?...
Suddenly thinking of this, Miko—whose face had been faintly reddening—immediately looked over at Lumine as well.
By rights, Lumine was supposed to be very conservative, so how would she know about that thing?
And there was Mobius too—she'd only just laid eyes on that sort of thing earlier, so how had she suddenly come to know about a mutated version of that little ball now?
Could it be that the two of them had already used that thing a moment ago?
Because Miko had happened to go answer the door just then, she began to suspect that during that time the two of them had used, or at least seen, that thing.
No, no...
Soon, Miko realized something wasn't right.
After all, Lumine had just now clearly looked rather uncertain, so she had obviously been guessing.
Of course, even so, the fact that the ever-conservative Lumine could actually guess at that thing was itself quite astonishing. The only explanation could be that Lumine was merely being shy, and wasn't actually all that conservative.
This girl...
On ordinary days she must be constantly thinking about those naughty, lewd things...
Otherwise, how could she have guessed at that thing so quickly!
Back when she herself did those things with Kaito, she must have been quite wild!
Maybe even wilder than me!
"Don't look at me like that—I just... I just suddenly guessed it, that's all. Don't read too much into it..." Discovering that Miko kept staring at her, Lumine hurriedly explained as well; in fact, by now she already regretted having voiced her guess.
She'd only meant to toss it out casually, but who'd have thought she'd actually guessed right—which simply left her unable to explain herself.
But even so, the things that needed to be said still had to be said, otherwise there was no telling how Miko would end up regarding her.
