Mei and this Miss Kiana...
And Lumine, this little cutie...
They really don't look like ordinary people at all...
By the way...
Where did that little girl Wendy go?
Is she running around wild again?
At a breakfast place, seated beside Acheron, Miko was originally in the midst of summarizing the common traits shared by Kaito's girlfriends. However, she suddenly realized that she hadn't seen Wendy since arriving here.
"Where did that little girl Wendy go?" Because she was truly curious, Miko asked the question.
Although Acheron had indicated earlier that Wendy had already informed her of those matters, Acheron hadn't actually mentioned where Wendy was.
"It's normal for her to be anywhere; she just likes flying around all day."
It wasn't Acheron who answered Miko this time, but Kiana, who was sitting opposite her next to Lumine.
"Is that so? Thinking about it carefully, that does seem to be the case. That little girl just likes running around... ah, no, flying around." Nodding thoughtfully, Miko responded in agreement.
But honestly, she hadn't expected Miss Kiana to be the one answering her question.
She had always assumed that the one to answer her would be Mei, but she was clearly mistaken.
But it couldn't be helped. Her first meeting with Kiana in front of the inn just now had given her the impression that Kiana might have some opinions about her. So, having her answer now actually surprised Miko a little.
But...
She still doesn't know that guy is currently at my place...
If she knew...
She probably wouldn't look the way she does now, right?
Recalling Kiana's earlier remark—which clearly carried a hint of dissatisfaction—about how Kaito just runs around everywhere, Miko silently thought this to herself.
Of course, right now, these were all just guesses based on her own observations; things wouldn't necessarily develop the way she imagined.
"So, am I the only one here right now who doesn't know you?"
Just as Miko was pondering these things, Kiana spoke up again, and her target was Miko.
"Me?" Snapping back to reality, Miko clearly hadn't expected the other party to still be talking to her.
"I think that is the case."
While Miko was still dazed, Acheron gave her own answer.
"I know Big Sister Miko, Lumine also knows Big Sister Miko, and Big Sister Acheron knows Big Sister Miko too."
Floating in mid-air with her mouth stuffed full of food, Paimon was counting on her fingers, looking at Acheron and the others one by one. After looking at everyone present, she finally reached a conclusion.
"It really is like that! Right now, only Kiana doesn't know Big Sister Miko here."
Sigh...
This idiot...
Eating so much hasn't helped her brain grow one bit...
Watching Paimon's operation silently from the side, Lumine felt numb.
Obviously, one only needed to scan the room once to reach that conclusion, yet Paimon had to make a big show of looking at everyone individually just to arrive at such an obvious result.
"Then it seems I haven't appeared for too long. Are there any others?"
After listening to Acheron's words and Paimon's conclusion, Kiana nodded, then asked if there were any others she didn't know.
Others?
Is she trying to investigate how many Inazuma girls Kaito knows?
Regarding what Kiana just said, Miko silently thought this.
She didn't know if it was because of that sentence Kiana said about Kaito in front of the inn, but now Miko constantly felt as if Kiana wanted to know exactly how many Inazuma girls Kaito had gotten to know.
However, even so, she still replied, "As for that, you might have to ask Kaito himself to find out."
Although Miko felt there shouldn't be any, that wasn't a conclusion she could easily make.
Right...
Does Ei count?
At this moment, Miko suddenly thought of this question.
No matter how you put it, Kaito and Ei could already be considered acquaintances, it was just that the depth of their acquaintance wasn't that deep.
"There aren't any," Acheron answered once again.
It seems that little girl Wendy didn't mention Ei?
Or does that little girl feel that Kaito and Ei don't actually count as acquaintances?
Listening to Mei's answer, Miko silently pondered this. She didn't know which case it was.
But regardless of the situation, it was better that this matter didn't come from her mouth.
As for how Kiana might find out later, that was none of her business.
By the way...
I wonder how strong this Miss Kiana is?
Because of her own intuition, as well as the precedents of Mei and Wendy possessing extremely powerful strength, Miko felt that Kiana was definitely not simple.
Of course, she wasn't worried that she wouldn't be able to beat Kiana, but rather worried that Ei wouldn't be able to.
Although there really wasn't any relationship between Kaito and Ei, she was worried some misunderstanding might arise.
"Then where exactly did that guy Kaito run off to?" Kiana asked again, but this time she was asking Acheron.
"Over in Inazuma City. Are you going to look for him?"
"Yeah, but not so soon. Just asking first." regarding Acheron's question, Kiana nodded and then continued eating her food.
Kiana wants to go find Kaito...
In that case, there's a high probability she'll find out Kaito is at my place...
Should I just say it now?
Because she hadn't mentioned it when they first met, Miko appeared a bit hesitant about whether to say it now.
It couldn't be helped. If she had said Kaito was actually at her place when they first met, it would have been quite normal; at most, Kiana would just want to know why Kaito was there.
But since she didn't say it during their first meeting, it now appeared as if she had intentionally concealed the matter. Even if she said it now, it would still give people that impression, and the feeling would be even stronger.
However, she, Yae Miko, was not someone afraid of trouble or stirring things up.
Since she hadn't said it earlier because Mei had helped answer, she would just say it now.
"I'm pretty much done eating. Miko, what about you?"
Just as Miko was preparing to speak, Acheron suddenly turned her head to look at her and said this.
Clearly, this meant she wanted to find a place to discuss those matters privately.
Of course, Miko was actually full by now—or rather, she had eaten enough—which was why Mei asked.
"Me too." Looking at Mei, Miko nodded.
Since Mei wanted to talk to her about those things, she would put the matters here aside for now.
"Miko and I have things to do. Kiana, you guys take your time eating. Also, I've already paid the bill." Saying this, Acheron stood up, and Miko did the same.
"Goodbye, everyone. Take your time eating."
Waving to the group who were still eating, Miko then left the place with Acheron.

In that ancient and mysterious land, countless unsolved mysteries were hidden.
"Where exactly is the legendary treasure hidden?"
Explorers, carrying endless curiosity and courage, embarked on a journey to find the truth.
They traversed dense forests, crossed turbulent rivers, and finally arrived in front of an abandoned temple.
"Is this the place we are looking for?"
The stone door of the temple slowly opened, and a cold, gloomy aura rushed toward their faces.
