"I'll just pretend to walk past the window first..."
"Let's see what this guy is actually doing..."
After thinking for a moment, Miko decided to appear in this manner.
She wasn't peeping or anything, just happening to pass by.
Yes, that's it!
Suddenly nodding to herself, Miko seemed to be agreeing with her own thoughts.
Afterwards, she composed the expression on her face and walked past the window as if nothing were the matter.
Of course, she didn't just walk while looking straight ahead; instead, she pretended to unconsciously turn her head to glance inside the room through the window. Then, she saw Kaito lying on the bed, seemingly asleep.
This guy actually fell asleep...
Even though it's still so early...
Thinking this, Miko also looked up at the night sky.
However, she finally understood why she hadn't heard any sounds just now. But in that case...
Should she still knock on the door?
Walking to the doorway, Miko fell into deep thought.
She felt that since Kaito was already asleep, it might be better for her to leave first.
Creak—
Just as Miko was still thinking, she suddenly heard the sound of the door opening.
Hmm???
Raising her gaze to look at Kaito, who had opened the door, Miko was obviously quite surprised.
She really couldn't understand why Kaito, who was already asleep, suddenly woke up, considering she hadn't made any noise.
"Not coming in? Forget it, I'll go out. Coming out to enjoy the night breeze isn't bad either."
Looking at Miko who remained silent, Kaito, who had been reading novels for a long time, walked out.
It had to be said, staying in the room all the time was indeed a bit stuffy.
Besides, he had naturally known Miko was outside long ago; he just hadn't called out to her.
Coming out now was partly because Miko had been standing at the door without making a move, so he walked out himself to see what Miko was actually up to.
This guy knew I was here all along?
Watching Kaito come out without any warning, Miko thought this with a bit of embarrassment.
However, awkwardness aside, she decided to pretend nothing had happened.
"So you weren't asleep. I thought you had fallen asleep since I saw you lying motionless on the bed when I passed by the window just now."
Although she wasn't sure if Kaito knew about her eavesdropping just now, Miko said this anyway.
As long as Kaito didn't mention it, she would act as if she hadn't been discovered.
"Just lying in bed, that's all."
Seeing that Miko didn't mention she had been by the window for a while, Kaito didn't say anything either.
He knew that saying it out loud would probably just make Miko awkward, so he left it unsaid.
"Is that so? Isn't it boring to just lie there like that?"
With a look of sudden realization on her face, Miko seemed to understand.
But in reality, she didn't understand. She simply couldn't comprehend Kaito just lying on the bed doing nothing.
This...
It was really too strange...
"It's alright."
Smiling, Kaito gave this answer.
Actually, if it were the old him lying there like that, it would definitely be boring, but the current him was different.
As long as Acheron and the others were doing things on their end, he would immediately synchronize with them, which was equivalent to him doing the same things, requiring no movement on his part.
Of course, others naturally didn't know this point. In their perspective, he was actually just motionless, doing nothing.
This guy...
Why do I always feel like he's hiding something from me...
Looking at the smiling Kaito, Miko couldn't help but think this.
But there was no helping it; she had indeed only seen Kaito lying on the bed and hadn't seen anything else.
Forget it...
I'll just ask Mei tomorrow while I'm at it...
Because she really couldn't figure it out, Miko planned to ask about this matter in passing when she went to find Mei tomorrow.
Of course, this wasn't the only thing she wanted to ask; there were other things she had wanted to ask for a long time.
Although she had already asked Wendy about that matter, she still had to ask Mei's side.
"Alright, I actually just came over to take a look. Now I'll go back and continue dealing with those matters."
Looking at Kaito for a long while, Miko felt it was time for her to go back and continue processing those affairs.
To be honest, she hadn't obtained what she wanted. This guy Kaito was definitely doing something just now, only she couldn't tell what.
"So many things to do? Then go ahead and keep busy."
Sighing with emotion, Kaito turned and went back into the room.
This guy just left like that...
He actually didn't mention me being at the window just now...
Does he really not know, or is he just too lazy to say it?
Watching Kaito's retreating figure walking inside, Miko couldn't help but think this.
Originally, she thought Kaito would ask what she was doing at the window when she said she was going back to handle affairs, but no such thing happened.
She felt Kaito should have known about her behavior just now, but for some reason, he didn't say anything.
Is he afraid I'll be awkward?
Thinking this, Miko walked back towards her own room.
The next day.
Morning.
Alright...
Time to go find Mei...
But it's so early, I wonder if Kaito is up yet...
Getting up and coming outside, Miko was wondering if Kaito was awake.
Although she wanted to go find Mei quickly now, she felt she had to tell Kaito first, even if she had already said it yesterday.
Of course, this had to be said when Kaito was awake.
If he wasn't awake yet, she wouldn't say it and would let him sleep.
Let's go over and check first...
Thinking this, Miko walked towards the room where Kaito was.
This time, she wouldn't be sneaking around like yesterday; today she was going to look openly and honestly.
Kaito's room.
He's reading a book?
Arriving at the window again, Miko saw Kaito currently sitting on the bed reading a book with unknown content.
And at this moment, Kaito also looked over towards Miko at the window.
"Good morning, Miko. Are you setting off?"
Putting down the book in his hand, Kaito came to the window.
"Yes. But what are you reading?"
"Reading a novel."
Turning his head to glance at the book he had placed on the bed, Kaito answered that it was a novel.
After what happened last night, he realized that lying on the bed doing nothing while not asleep was still too strange, so he got himself a book.
A novel?
"You should have said so earlier; I have plenty of novels."
Speaking of novels, Miko got excited.
If it were usual times, she would definitely ask Kaito what novel he was reading right now.
But now she obviously didn't have that much time to ask; it could only be next time.
