Miko's room.
"As for the current situation, that is the plan. Kaito, do you have any objections?"
Looking at Kaito sitting opposite her, Miko asked him this after finishing her explanation of the plan.
Although Kaito already knew some parts, there were details he wasn't aware of, so she laid everything out now to see what he had to say.
"I don't really have many objections."
Saying this first, Kaito then continued, "I was just thinking, is it really okay to make the Raiden Shogun think that I... well... how should I put it... that I made Her sister my girlfriend?"
Although he had known Miko's plan for a while, Kaito still pretended to have some questions.
In reality, he shouldn't have had any problems with it, but acting like that would appear obviously strange, so he deliberately found such a question to discuss.
"What are you afraid of? Kaito, it's not like you can't beat Her. At worst, when the time comes, you just tell Her directly, 'I snatched your sister, what are you gonna do about it? Hit me?'"
Regarding Kaito's worry, Miko felt it was completely unnecessary, and even wanted him to fan the flames.
Anyway, Kaito could definitely win, or rather, certainly wouldn't be defeated by Ei, so she felt Kaito didn't need to worry about this issue.
Moreover, she really wanted to see what Ei's reaction would be if Kaito actually did as she said. That would definitely be very interesting.
"Then how about I say afterwards that you were the one who made me do it?"
Just as Miko was imagining Ei's reaction, Kaito suddenly dropped this sentence.
Miko: "!"
"You dare!" Snapping back to reality, Miko immediately retorted.
If such a thing really happened, her fox fur would be skinned by Ei, so this was absolutely impermissible.
"You dare make me do that, yet you don't dare admit to it?"
Regarding this reaction from Miko, Kaito laughed out of exasperation.
If Miko had indicated that they would face it together when the time came, he wouldn't have said anything and would have even agreed directly.
But clearly, Miko only wanted him to put in the effort and bear the risk alone. He wasn't going to do that.
Although this kind of thing actually carried no risk for him, Miko's behavior made him feel it wasn't worth it.
And more importantly, Miko had to be dragged into the water for this matter; he wanted to watch the show later too.
"Oh my, isn't it just that it's too dangerous for a little fox like me to face such a thing? Lord Kaito is so powerful, surely..."
"Absolutely not!"
Before Miko could finish her sentence, Kaito had already waved his hand.
Although Miko had lowered her posture so much, he still felt it was a no-go.
No matter what, Miko definitely couldn't stay out of it.
Is this guy so heartless?
Seeing that he still wouldn't agree even after she acted like this, Miko thought this very helplessly. Then, she turned her gaze toward Mei, who was beside Kaito.
However, Mei had no reaction. Her eyes were dry from watching, yet she remained the same.
Sigh...
Mei doesn't support me either...
But it seems I really am being a bit excessive...
Seeing that Mei didn't support her either, Miko couldn't help but think that she might have been a bit too much.
Of course, she didn't feel that asking Kaito to do the task was excessive, but rather that letting Kaito bear the risk alone was.
In that case...
"Then, if we get caught, we say we thought of it together? How about that?"
"That's more like it."
Regarding Miko's current approach, Kaito nodded to express his satisfaction.
On this matter, Miko shouldn't think about watching the play silently from the sidelines alone.
Get down here, you!
Miko!
Seeing Miko looking somewhat displeased, Kaito was in a good mood.
Heartless guy...
I let you see everything, yet you can't even do this little thing for me...
Hmph!
Although Miko really wanted to say this out loud, because she still wasn't sure if that time was an illusion or reality, she ultimately didn't say it.
And more importantly, Acheron was there too. It wouldn't be good for her to say it like that, even if Acheron probably wouldn't have any reaction to it.
"Then it's settled." Feeling there shouldn't be any more problems, Miko spoke.
"Okay."
Kaito, who also had no further issues, nodded.
The next day.
I wonder if those two are up yet?
Early the next morning, Miko arrived in front of Kaito and Acheron's room.
Knock knock knock—
"Time to get up, you two." Extending her hand to knock on the door, Miko called out leisurely toward the inside of the room.
Creak—
"Good morning."
"Ah, it's Mei. Good morning."
Seeing that it was Mei who opened the door, Miko greeted her.
"Where is Kaito?"
Because she didn't see Kaito, Miko asked.
"He's washing up inside," Acheron answered quickly.
Washing up...
Nodding, Miko indicated she understood. Then she said, "Then, next, Kaito and I will go to the Kamisato Clan. But you, Mei, will have to act on your own. Just as we discussed yesterday, appear suddenly on the roof of the Kamisato Clan and be discovered by them."
"Mn, no problem."
"Are we leaving?"
At this moment, Kaito's voice came over, and Acheron at the doorway stepped aside.
"Yes, you big lazybug Kaito, we are about to leave."
Upon seeing Kaito, Miko couldn't help but recall how he insisted on dragging her into the water yesterday.
However, this matter was ultimately something she came up with herself, so she had to fight side-by-side with him no matter what.
"I'm not lazy at all, Miko."
Saying this, Kaito walked out, and then he continued, "Then let's go. Acheron, you act on your own later."
"Mn." Looking at her other self, Acheron nodded.
"Then Mei, Kaito and I will head out first." Before leaving with Kaito, Miko waved her hand to Mei.
For some reason, she felt a bit strange right now.
It couldn't be helped; after all, Kaito and Mei were in a boyfriend and girlfriend relationship, while she didn't know what her relationship was. Yet, they were acting together while Mei was acting alone. This was somewhat strange.
But she also knew Mei wouldn't mind.
Sigh...
Don't overthink it...
Miko!
Shaking her head, Miko and Kaito walked downstairs together.
Since the operation was about to start, she shouldn't think so much. Anyway, there would be plenty of time for her to think slowly later.
