Could it be...
Did something unknown happen to the Sustainer of Heavenly Principles? After a moment of thought, Aether couldn't help but think this as he looked up at a certain point in the sky.
He truly suspected that something must have happened to the current Sustainer of Heavenly Principles to cause the current situation. After all, he had never heard of anyone who looked so much like the Sustainer of Heavenly Principles before.
Of course, it was also possible that he was simply uninformed. But no matter what, the girl who looked so much like the Sustainer of Heavenly Principles was definitely not simple.
After all, looking like someone else was one thing; that kind of thing was possible. But looking like the Sustainer of Heavenly Principles was something else entirely. It couldn't be helped. The Sustainer of Heavenly Principles was simply too special, making it hard for people not to have all sorts of ideas.
Or perhaps, the girl Lumine met was the Sustainer of Heavenly Principles, and there was no girl who "looked like" her. It was all just a lie.
But if that were the case... it seemed like the Sustainer of Heavenly Principles would have absolutely no reason to do so...
As he thought, Aether fell into deep contemplation again. He really couldn't figure out what was going on. If that girl truly was the Sustainer of Heavenly Principles, then she clearly had no need to lie.
That's right...
That person named Kaito...
I wonder what his identity is...
Suddenly thinking of Kaito, Aether couldn't help but be curious about his identity. It was obvious this person named Kaito was no ordinary man.
First appearing as the Anemo Archon's boyfriend, and now a girl who looks just like the Sustainer of Heavenly Principles suddenly appears by his side. This already says a lot.
"Did you think of something, Aether?"
Because Aether clearly knew more than she did, and seeing his thoughtful expression now, Lumine also wanted to know if he knew something.
"No, I'm just wondering why someone would look so much like that deity."
Looking at Lumine, Aether, having snapped out of his thoughts, slowly shook his head.
Based on the information he currently had, he couldn't draw any conclusions yet. He needed to know more.
"Then is it possible... that girl, Kiana, is the same deity we met before?"
After some thought, Lumine decided to share her speculation with Aether to see what he would say.
"That is indeed a possibility, but I feel that... if she really is the deity we encountered before, she would have absolutely no reason to lie."
In response to Lumine's speculation, Aether also shared his thoughts.
Of course, he had considered that the Kiana Lumine mentioned was the Sustainer of Heavenly Principles, but he felt she had no reason to lie.
And more importantly...
Would the Sustainer of Heavenly Principles fall in love?
That's clearly impossible...
How could something like that happen...
Wait...
What is their relationship?
Suddenly recalling he hadn't asked what the relationship was between the girl who looked like the Sustainer of Heavenly Principles and that person named Kaito, Aether spoke up: "By the way, Lumine, what is the relationship between that girl and the person named Kaito? Are they boyfriend and girlfriend?"
"Yes, they're boyfriend and girlfriend." Lumine nodded.
Although Kaito and Kiana never explicitly stated their relationship, judging from their behavior, they were definitely boyfriend and girlfriend. There was no doubt.
"Are you sure about that, Lumine?"
Hearing Lumine's answer, Aether wanted to know if she was one hundred percent certain.
If that girl and the person named Kaito were really boyfriend and girlfriend, then she probably wasn't the Sustainer of Heavenly Principles. After all, how could the Sustainer of Heavenly Principles possibly fall in love? And even if the Sustainer of Heavenly Principles had her own unique way of loving, it wasn't something she should be doing right now.
"I'm sure. They even live together." Nodding again, Lumine looked very certain.
She felt that Kiana and Kaito had probably already done everything a couple would do. It was even possible that Wendy and Kiana did that kind of thing with Kaito together.
That's right...
Kiana has probably also used her mouth to do that kind of thing for Kaito...
At this, Lumine couldn't help but recall the state she had seen Wendy in before. It was obvious that her appearance was proof she had done that kind of thing.
Although she still couldn't be one hundred percent certain that Wendy had really done it, judging from Wendy's appearance that day, it must have been the case. And if Wendy had really done it, then Kiana probably had too.
Hmm...
If I also...
would I have to do that too?
As she thought, Lumine couldn't help but imagine a scene of herself doing that kind of thing.
Ahem...
What on earth am I thinking...
Shaking her head vigorously, a blushing Lumine quickly pushed the thought out of her mind.
Although she had lived for a very long time, she had no experience in matters between men and women; everything was just imagination. Of course, even so, she still knew about many... practices.
Aether probably doesn't know what I'm thinking...
Silently glancing at Aether, who was deep in thought, Lumine felt extremely awkward. Fortunately, Aether was currently thinking about Kiana and didn't notice her recent state, otherwise she wouldn't know how to explain herself.
"Can you take me to see that girl, Lumine?"
Looking up at Lumine, Aether decided to go see the girl who looked so much like the Sustainer of Heavenly Principles.
No matter what, he wouldn't find the right answer just by speculating here.
"Of course."
Lumine naturally agreed to this request.
But more than the matter with Kiana, she hoped Aether would come home with her right now. But she also knew that Aether probably wouldn't agree.
The only reason he was here now was because Kiana looked so much like that unknown god.
"Aether, is the matter of that deity... really that important to you?"
Before taking Aether to find Kiana, Lumine asked this question.
If it weren't for matters concerning the unknown god, Aether certainly wouldn't have appeared before her now.
"I'm sorry, Lumine."
After a moment of silence, Aether spoke slowly.
He knew what Lumine was thinking, but right now, this was all he could say. He still had things he had to do.
"Never mind, never mind, I won't ask anymore. Let's go now."
Looking at Aether like this, Lumine knew that saying anything more would be useless.
Since he still had things to do, then he should go do them. As for her, she would continue searching for answers on her journey. No matter what, she believed she would definitely find the answers she was looking for.
