"This little guy is definitely thinking about food again..."
Silently watching Paimon's delighted expression, Lumine thought this with absolute certainty.
After all, Paimon wasn't familiar with Kiana, so how could she be this happy just because of Kiana's appearance?
Therefore...
It definitely had to do with eating.
After all, with Kiana joining them, they would order more food, which meant Paimon would get to eat more.
That must be it!
Withdrawing her gaze, Lumine decided her guess was undoubtedly correct.
However, apart from that, she was still very curious about what Kiana had been doing all these days.
After all, wouldn't she feel bored staying in her room all the time?
Or was it that...
She could also do certain things inside the room?
Thinking of this, Lumine glanced curiously at Kiana's room, the door of which was now closed.
It had to be said, she was now genuinely curious if there was something different inside.
Right...
Why hasn't Acheron said anything?
At this moment, Lumine suddenly noticed that Acheron seemed to have no reaction whatsoever to Kiana's appearance.
However, once she thought about how Acheron and Kiana had probably known each other for a long time, she felt the situation regarding Kiana was a bit more normal.
"Let's go, then."
Thinking that Miko should be arriving soon, Acheron took the lead and started walking outside.
Afterward, everyone began to head out.
Acheron, who arrived outside first, happened to run into Miko, who was just coming over.
It's Mei!
As soon as she saw Mei walking out of the Ritou Inn, Miko hurriedly went up to meet her.
"What a coincidence, Mei. I was just about to go look for you. I was wondering if I would disturb your sleep, but I didn't expect you to be awake already."
Coming to Acheron's side, Miko put on an act as if it were all just a coincidence.
"Is it about the matter Wendy mentioned? Also, where is Kai? Why don't I see him?"
Although she certainly knew what she was doing herself, the performance still had to be maintained.
"That guy said he wanted to wander around, so he didn't come with me."
Speaking of Kaito, Miko looked rather annoyed. Then she continued, "Yes, it is indeed about the matter Wendy mentioned. However, I don't know how much she told you or if she explained it clearly, so I came over."
Clack, clack, clack—
Just as Miko was thinking of what else to say, she suddenly heard footsteps approaching and instinctively looked over.
Oh, it's them...
Seeing Lumine and Paimon walk out, Miko's guarded expression immediately vanished.
But soon, seeing the girl behind Lumine and Paimon, Miko couldn't help but start feeling puzzled again.
Who is this girl?
Is she with those two little ones?
Looking at Kiana, Miko couldn't help but wonder if she was Lumine's friend.
Moreover, for some reason, this girl gave Miko a very different feeling.
Whether it was her extraordinary appearance or the strange aura constantly emanating from her, she seemed very special—the kind of existence you would notice instantly.
"She is Kiana."
At this moment, Acheron spoke Kiana's name from beside Miko.
Kiana?
Isn't this the name of Kaito's girlfriend who hasn't appeared all this time...?
Turning her head to look at Mei, Miko was extremely surprised.
She didn't expect to actually meet Kiana today, the person whose name she had heard long ago but had never seen.
Moreover, she hadn't expected that this Kiana would give her such a unique feeling.
That guy...
Why is every single one of his girlfriends so special...?
Continuing to watch Kiana approach, Miko couldn't help but think this in her heart.
Although this thought had appeared in her mind many times, she couldn't help but think it every time.
There was no helping it; after all, the fact was that in her eyes, every one of Kaito's girlfriends was very distinct.
"It's Big Sister Miko! Good morning."
Seeing Miko, Paimon greeted her enthusiastically again.
Miko...
Then what about Kaito?
Didn't they say the two of them were together?
Looking at Miko, Lumine silently thought this as well.
"Is this your friend, Acheron?"
At this moment, Kiana also walked over, looking at Miko with a face full of curiosity.
"Yes, she is called Miko. Also, Kai knows her too."
Acheron nodded.
"Nice to meet you, Miss Kiana."
Waving her hand towards Kiana, Miko spoke with a smile on her face.
Sigh...
No wonder that guy acts so indifferent in front of me...
It turns out he has so many outstanding girlfriends attending to him...
At this moment, Miko couldn't help but recall the events inside that inn in Inazuma City.
It seemed she finally understood Kaito's reaction back then.
Moreover, she knew that what she was seeing now wasn't necessarily everything. Perhaps there were other outstanding girls, just not in Inazuma.
"Hello there, Miko."
Waving her hand back at Miko, Kiana continued, "Also, what about Kai? Where did that guy run off to?"
"He is..."
"He's wandering around outside."
Just as Miko was about to answer, Acheron beat her to it.
Actually, Miko was a bit conflicted about whether to directly say that Kaito was at her shrine. After all, it was his girlfriend asking the question now, and she wondered if saying that would be a bit awkward.
Although Mei definitely didn't care about this matter, she didn't know this Miss Kiana before her.
For some reason, she felt that Kiana had the vibe of an unruly young lady.
"Wandering around all day."
Regarding Acheron's answer, Kiana seemed to speak with some dissatisfaction.
I feel like this Miss Kiana will probably have a lot of opinions about me...
After hearing this sentence from Kiana, Miko couldn't help but think this.
There was no helping it; right now, she and Kaito were the ones doing the so-called 'wandering around.'
However, she certainly wouldn't be afraid. After all, it wasn't as if she forced Kaito to wander around with her, nor could she force him.
"Miko, have you had breakfast? If not, let's eat together."
At this moment, Acheron shifted the topic to breakfast.
Right, right, right...
We need to hurry and get breakfast!
Otherwise, I'm going to starve...
Paimon silently agreed with Acheron's words in her heart.
There was no helping it; there were too many people right now, so she was a bit too embarrassed to speak up.
"Sure."
Nodding vigorously, Miko appeared to be in a good mood.
Actually, at first, she felt she needed to discuss those matters with Mei quickly, but now, she felt it was fine to postpone it a bit.
In any case, she should try to get along with this Miss Kiana first.
