Kamisato Estate.
"Perfect, I haven't had breakfast yet. Let's eat here."
As she and Kaito approached the Kamisato Estate, Yae Miko muttered this to herself.
"No wonder you didn't eat at the shrine; you already planned to eat here," Kaito responded after hearing Yae Miko's words.
He had originally thought Yae Miko wasn't planning on eating breakfast. Coupled with the fact that he didn't eat breakfast every day either, he hadn't mentioned it.
But clearly, he had guessed wrong.
It didn't matter though; being right or wrong about something like this wouldn't affect anything.
"So, Kaito, you mean..." Yae Miko suddenly stopped, turned around, and looked at Kaito as if she had discovered something extraordinary. She then continued, "You wanted to come down after finishing breakfast at the shrine? It seems you're quite satisfied with the food there."
Satisfied?
"Not really, I just thought you weren't planning on having breakfast."
Kaito slowly shook his head, surprised that Yae Miko would jump to such a conclusion.
Couldn't this guy just admit it?
Losing interest in Kaito's reply, Yae Miko continued walking towards the Kamisato Estate.
Just then, Thoma appeared in front of them.
"Lady Guuji," Thoma quickly stepped forward upon seeing Yae Miko.
He had been about to go out to do some tasks but hadn't gotten far before encountering Lady Guuji.
As for Kaito, he watched with great curiosity.
No choice, anyone beside Lady Guuji must be extraordinary.
"Go tell that boy to prepare two servings of breakfast; we haven't eaten yet," Yae Miko said without ceremony to the long-familiar Thoma, directly instructing him to tell Kamisato Ayato to prepare breakfast for her and Kaito.
Before doing important things, one had to eat their fill; otherwise, it would be bad to lack strength.
"Yes, Lady Guuji."
After a brief pause, Thoma quickly returned to carry out Yae Miko's request.
Meanwhile, his heart was filled with intense confusion.
He was truly curious about who the foreign youth beside Lady Guuji was. It was incredible that he could have breakfast with Lady Guuji.
"This should be your first time here, right?"
As if something suddenly occurred to her, Yae Miko asked Kaito this question.
No choice, she felt this Kaito guy might have already known the Kamisato Estate for a long time.
After all, for someone with his considerable strength, knowing anyone was possible.
"Yes, first time." Kaito nodded, indicating Yae Miko was right.
In truth, he really wanted to say he had been here many times.
But after some thought, he decided not to answer that way; there wasn't much point to it.
"I see," Yae Miko nodded, not surprised by this answer.
Or, to put it another way, no matter how Kaito answered, she wouldn't be surprised.
"Let's go, let's go, time for breakfast!" As if she suddenly saw something, Yae Miko quickened her pace, not forgetting to tell Kaito to hurry up too.
Because she saw that boy, Kamisato Ayato, already walking towards her.
Lady Guuji...
And...
Who is that young man?
As he walked towards Lady Guuji, Kamisato Ayato was very curious about the identity of the youth beside her.
It was already strange for Lady Guuji to bring a foreign young man, but for her to come with him to his place for breakfast further deepened his suspicion.
But suspicion aside, he should greet Lady Guuji first.
"I didn't expect Lady Guuji..."
"Alright, alright, no need to be so polite. By the way, is breakfast ready?" Yae Miko waved her hand, directly asking Kamisato Ayato if breakfast was prepared.
She was a bit hungry now, so she needed to eat breakfast quickly.
Otherwise, once Mei appeared, she wouldn't have time for breakfast.
"It's ready, Lady Guuji, please follow me."
Seeing Lady Guuji so eager for breakfast, Kamisato Ayato didn't say anything further. Instead, he directly led her and the young man beside her towards his estate.
"Oh, right, you can just call this guy Kaito."
At this moment, Lady Guuji's voice came from behind.
This guy?
Kaito...
Turning his head back, Kamisato Ayato nodded at Kaito with a smile, a picture of utter confusion. Nevertheless, he said, "A pleasure to meet you, Lady Guuji's friend."
"Goodness, I already told you to just call him Kaito. Why 'Lady Guuji's friend'? Is that how you address people?"
Before Kaito could say anything, Yae Miko had already spoken.
"Indeed, you can just call me Kaito," Kaito said with a faint smile.
"My apologies for being presumptuous. You can call me Kamisato Ayato, or simply Ayato."
Kamisato Ayato bowed slightly, expressing his apology.
He seems to be Lady Guuji's friend...
And it seems...
A very close friend?
But I've never seen him before...
And he's even a foreigner...
Walking ahead, Kamisato Ayato remained extremely confused.
But there was no helping it; he couldn't voice this confusion.
After all, not everything could be known; one had to be aware of that.
Kamisato Ayato...
Murmuring the name to himself, Kaito couldn't help but recall that move, like an Iron Mountain Shoulder Strike, and those four words.
A good move...
"What are you thinking about, you guy?"
Suddenly noticing Kaito seemed to be lost in thought, Yae Miko asked.
"Nothing."
Kaito instinctively shook his head, not expecting Yae Miko to be watching him.
No matter what, he couldn't possibly say what he was thinking.
Not to mention whether Yae Miko would understand, saying such things directly in front of Kamisato Ayato wasn't very appropriate.
But...
Kamisato Ayato probably wouldn't understand either, right?
Just as Kaito was thinking this, Kamisato Ayato, who was walking ahead, suddenly remembered something.
Could it be...
This young man is the one who fought Her Excellency, the Shogun, to a standstill not long ago?
It had to be said, Kamisato Ayato's expression changed when this possibility crossed his mind.
He hadn't expected to meet this young man so soon.
Although he still wasn't certain if the other party was indeed that person, based on the information he had heard, it was almost certainly him.
Strange...
Why would Lady Guuji bring this young man here to me?
Could it be...
Is something big about to happen?
Wait!
Something big?
