"Oh my, I didn't expect the breakfast you prepared to be this decent. Not bad, not bad."
Seeing Kamisato Ayato opening the door, Miko also wore a face full of satisfaction.
Of course, this satisfaction wasn't entirely due to the breakfast; the events about to unfold also played a part.
regardless, when asking someone to undertake a relatively high-risk task, one must display the appropriate attitude.
Setting aside whether it would succeed or not, since he agreed, she had to show a demeanor different from usual.
"It is truly an honor to satisfy Lady Guuji." Walking out, Kamisato Ayato responded to Lady Guuji's words with the proper deference expected of him.
He knew very well that doing some things correctly was simply expected, and one shouldn't hope for anything else.
"Alright, alright, don't act so reserved. Let's go in together."
Seeing this kid Kamisato Ayato act like this, Miko felt somewhat helpless.
She really couldn't understand why this guy always acted so cautious and timid.
Although a major incident had happened to the Kamisato Clan before, there was no need to be this cautious in front of her.
Of course, she wouldn't say much about it.
"Yes, Lady Guuji." Knowing that the discussion of serious business was about to begin, Kamisato Ayato quickly stepped aside to let Lady Guuji and her friend enter.
As for him, he was the last to walk in.
Bang—
After closing the door and turning around, Kamisato Ayato also took his seat.
Now, there were four people in the entire study: the two siblings, Lady Guuji, and her friend Kaito.
"Sigh, no one's eavesdropping, right?" Looking around, Miko suddenly dropped this sentence.
Regarding such a question, Kamisato Ayato knew it was necessary for him to explain the situation.
However, before he could speak, Kaito had already spoken up.
"Don't worry. Even if someone were lying right on the window, they wouldn't hear what we're saying."
Because of the rewards from a previous mission, Kaito had inherited some abilities from Wendy's side, so he also understood how to isolate sound.
Although the effect wasn't as good as Wendy's, it was sufficient.
"Oh? You know this trick too?"
Looking quite surprised, Miko looked at Kaito and said this.
Actually, she had just mentioned it casually to lighten the atmosphere before talking business.
What she hadn't expected was that Kaito actually possessed that little girl Wendy's ability.
This guy...
Just how many things does he know?
In the interval waiting for Kaito to answer, Miko couldn't help but think this.
"The effect certainly isn't as good as Wendy's, but it's enough."
With a smile, Kaito gave this answer.
"I see. But I am curious about one thing." Nodding, Miko spoke faintly.
"What is it?" Kaito asked.
"Is it that you also know some abilities of Mei and Kiana? I always feel like you do."
"Why?" Kaito asked again.
It had to be said, Miko had actually hit the mark.
But he had basically never shown that he possessed abilities from Mei and Kiana's side, so he was very curious how Miko had reached this conclusion.
"Asking me 'why' so calmly—it must be true then, right?"
Seeing Kaito ask her why so calmly, Miko immediately felt her guess was correct.
Actually, if asked why, she could only say it was her intuition.
"I'm not that amazing." Smiling again, Kaito indicated he wasn't that powerful.
Although admitting it wouldn't mean much, it would be hard to explain, so Kaito simply denied it.
Anyway, Miko had no way to confirm it, so he might as well just deny it.
Mei...
Wendy...
These two names...
They're actually both related to him?
Silently listening to the conversation between Lady Guuji and Kaito from the side, Kamisato Ayato was shocked again.
He had heard both names and seen the individuals; neither was an ordinary person. One of them was even the Anemo Archon.
He didn't know what the relationship between them was...
It had to be said, Kamisato Ayato was truly curious about this question.
And just as he was curious, Ayaka beside him was astonished by the conversation between Miko and Kaito.
In her impression, this was the first time she had seen Lady Guuji on such good terms with a male.
And let alone limiting it to males, even without gender restrictions, it was hard to find anyone with such a good relationship with Lady Guuji.
Even more so, the other party was a foreigner, and his abilities appeared to be very impressive.
I wonder if we can interact later...
Although the other party was Lady Guuji's friend and thus a friend of the Kamisato Clan, Ayaka still wanted to get to know him personally.
After all, no matter what, making one more friend like this was very necessary for the Kamisato Clan.
"Tch, you were acting just like an ordinary person before, yet you say you're not amazing."
Regarding Kaito's words, Miko evidently didn't believe them.
But even so, she didn't intend to continue this topic; there were more important matters now.
Anyway, there would be plenty of time to slowly bicker with Kaito later. For now, it was better to get down to business.
"Ahem, alright, you siblings must be waiting anxiously too. Let's start talking about the main issue now."
"Lady Guuji, don't we..."
"Enough, don't give me that meaningless talk here." Directly interrupting what Kamisato Ayato was about to say, Miko, knowing what he intended, simply waved her hand. Then she continued, "I'll just tell you directly now: the person Her Excellency, the Shogun, is looking for will appear here shortly. You just go directly to report it to the Shogun. Understood?"
Regarding these matters, Miko always kept it short and sweet, explaining things clearly and plainly.
"I understand, Lady Guuji." Now Kamisato Ayato knew his previous guess was correct.
Since the matter had arrived, he had no choice but to face this option.
"She's here. You can go and pretend to discover her now."
At this moment, Kaito suddenly spoke up.
Since Miko had already explained the matter, Acheron could make her entrance.
"Oho, are you two telepathic or something?" Not expecting Kaito to know Mei had arrived even from here, Miko couldn't help but remark.
"You can think of it that way." Knowing Miko was just speaking casually, Kaito gave an ambiguous answer.
It had to be said, Miko's guesses were quite accurate.
But no matter what, he couldn't let Miko know too much, so he had to come up with some ambiguous answers.
