"Tch, always so ambiguous. You really need a beating."
Miko realized Kaito's answers were always vague. But there was no helping it; if Kaito answered her like that, she couldn't force him to give a crystal-clear reply.
Hm... I keep forgetting these two siblings are still here...
After expressing some dissatisfaction towards Kaito, Miko suddenly realized the Kamisato siblings were nearby. However, she actually felt it didn't matter. Or in other words, in front of the Kamisato siblings, she didn't need to worry about anything.
Even if what she said regarding Mei earlier became known to them, she still wouldn't need to worry.
"Then I will now..."
Knock, knock, knock—
Just as Kamisato Ayato was about to say something, the sound of Thoma's urgent knocking came from outside the door.
"Lady Guuji, and my Lord, Her Excellency, the Shogun has arrived."
Her Excellency, the Shogun?
It seems it must be the 'Shogun' Miko mentioned...
Hearing Thoma's voice outside, Kamisato Ayato immediately thought this. Then, he spoke up: "Then I will go out and take a look."
"Go on, go on. Kaito and I are preparing to leave." Miko nodded.
Because after the news was reported, Ei would definitely come here, so she and Kaito definitely could not continue to stay.
"Then let me see you off..."
"No need. You just go with your brother and 'discover' Her Excellency, the Shogun." Regarding Ayaka wanting to see her off, Miko waved her hand.
Her task with Kaito here was already complete; it was time to leave. Of course, she didn't intend to hide from Ei the fact that she and Kaito had visited the Kamisato Estate. Moreover, she wanted to use this to bring out the fact that Mei was Kaito's girlfriend.
As for why she didn't stay to wait for Ei's arrival, it was because she wanted Ei to discover on her own that Mei is actually Kaito's girlfriend. If the two of them continued to stay here, they would definitely have to say they knew Mei the moment they saw Ei, and the effect would be different.
Afterwards, the two quickly left the Kamisato Estate, while Kamisato Ayato went outside and saw 'Her Excellency, the Shogun'.
I should pretend to mistake her identity first...
Thinking this, Kamisato Ayato walked towards the 'Shogun'. But before he had walked far, the 'Shogun' quickly disappeared again.
"Your Excellency?"
Not expecting the 'Shogun' to leave so quickly, Kamisato Ayato hurriedly shouted this loudly.
"Why did Her Excellency leave?"
Thoma, standing to the side, obviously didn't know what had happened.
"Thoma."
"My Lord, what is it?"
Suddenly hearing the Clan Head call him, Thoma immediately turned his head.
"That person just now was likely not Her Excellency, but rather the person Her Excellency asked us to find."
Gaze still fixed on the spot where the 'Shogun' had just stood, Kamisato Ayato spoke slowly.
"What? Then we..."
"We must go report to Her Excellency as soon as possible. Come with me."
Retracting his gaze to look at Thoma, Kamisato Ayato asked him to accompany him to see the Shogun.
"Yes, my Lord."
Naturally, Thoma had to obey the Clan Head's words. However, he couldn't figure out why the person the Shogun was looking for would appear here, and why they would appear for a moment only to vanish. Of course, he was actually more curious why someone would look so much like the Shogun.
Could someone be trying to impersonate Her Excellency? That is way too bold...
Following behind Kamisato Ayato, Thoma thought a lot. But he also knew that thinking about it was one thing; he couldn't just casually say it out loud. Otherwise, getting into trouble himself would be one thing, but if he implicated the Clan Head, he would be guilty of a crime deserving ten thousand deaths.
Inazuma City. Tenshukaku.
"What?! She appeared right at your place?"
After hearing that the person who looked very much like her had appeared, Ei was also very surprised.
"Yes, Your Excellency, I..."
Before he could finish his sentence, Kamisato Ayato suddenly discovered that the Shogun before him had vanished. This made him subconsciously look around, but he still couldn't see where the Shogun's figure was.
Her Excellency is...
Kamisato Ayato: "!"
I need to go back immediately!
As if suddenly realizing something, Kamisato Ayato hurriedly walked out of Tenshukaku. If he guessed correctly, the Shogun should be heading to his home right now. Therefore, he had to go back quickly.
Although he didn't really have anything else to do after reporting that matter, since the situation was slightly different from what the Shogun thought, he still felt somewhat guilty.
"My Lord, you came out so quickly?"
Not expecting the Clan Head to come out so soon, Thoma, who was waiting outside, was very surprised. He had thought he would have to wait for quite a while, but the Clan Head came out almost immediately after going in.
Is Her Excellency not in?
"We must return quickly now. Her Excellency should be at our place."
Walking directly past Thoma to rush back to his home, Kamisato Ayato looked very much in a hurry.
"Understood, my Lord."
Though surprised, Thoma quickly caught up with Kamisato Ayato. However, he really couldn't understand why the Shogun would go to the Clan Head's place so quickly.
Hm... It seems to make sense... After all, someone is trying to impersonate Her Excellency... Such matters indeed need to be handled as soon as possible... Otherwise, it would be bad if fake orders were passed down...
Following behind, Thoma silently thought this; he felt this must be the case.
Kamisato Estate.
Have they already left?
Looking around expressionlessly, Ei couldn't help but think this. To be honest, She hadn't expected news to come so quickly, but it seemed the other party had already left.
But... Why here? The Kamisato Estate...
Thinking this, Ei's gaze fell upon the Kamisato Estate not far away. Since that person appeared here, it meant there must be something here attracting her.
This thing... what could it be?
Continuing to look at the Kamisato Estate, Ei now appeared to be in deep thought. But She also knew that the Head of the Kamisato Clan hadn't shown any indication of this just now.
Is it just a coincidence? Or does he not know, or is he hiding something from me?
Hm?
Just as Ei was thinking about these things, She suddenly sensed someone appearing behind Her, causing Her to immediately turn Her head.
