"Say, Kaito."
After thinking for a moment, Miko suddenly said this to Kaito, causing everyone present to look at her.
Of course, "everyone" just meant Lumine and Paimon.
"I get the feeling I have something to do again."
Seeing that Miko obviously wanted to say something to him, Kaito teased her a bit.
However, he was indeed curious about what Miko wanted to say this time.
"That's right, there is indeed something for you to do." Miko nodded, but didn't continue speaking, as if she wanted Kaito to ask her himself.
"I figured. But what is it this time?"
Seeing that Miko wanted him to ask, Kaito, looking a bit helpless, went ahead and asked.
But he had just come back; what was it this time? Is she planning to send him away again?
"It's just that Lumine invited you to soak in the hot spring this time, didn't she?" This time, Miko continued her pattern of saying one sentence and then waiting for Kaito to ask.
Why is it about me again?
Lumine, who was originally listening to what Miko was saying, couldn't help but think this when she suddenly heard it involved her.
"Then I'll see when I can take Lumine to do something; I need to think about it," Kaito said immediately, understanding Miko's meaning.
However, just like how Acheron was thinking about how to answer Miko's question earlier, Kaito still hadn't decided what to take Lumine to do.
Of course, if Lumine wanted him to help find Aether, he would naturally do it. But if he were to initiate something himself, he really needed to think it over carefully.
"Do you really need to think about this kind of question? Seriously." Regarding Kaito's answer, Miko looked very helpless.
However, she didn't say anything more after that, but instead stood up from the hot spring to find something to eat.
Regardless, Kaito had just bought things back, so she naturally had to go eat a bit. Otherwise, letting him buy things for nothing while she didn't eat would be too much.
You guys should at least ask for my opinion, right?
Listening silently from the side, Lumine couldn't help but roast them inwardly.
However, she only roasted them in her heart and didn't say it out loud.
"If you can't think of what to do, just walk around randomly," Wendy, who was lying on a chair, said casually at this moment.
Of course, she was only pretending to speak casually; it wasn't actually the case.
"What does a little girl like you know?" Regarding Wendy's words, Miko retorted with this.
Although she felt that this little girl Wendy had definitely already done that kind of thing with Kaito, and Wendy wasn't really just a little girl, she still wanted to say this about Wendy.
There was no helping it; since Wendy looked like a little girl, she couldn't be blamed.
"Then what does a little fox like you know?" Almost without thinking, Wendy subconsciously retorted.
There was no helping it; she and Miko bickered so often that she could retort without even thinking about it.
"Naturally, I know more than you." Picking up something to eat, Miko continued her bickering with Wendy.
Sigh... These two are at it again...
Lumine was already used to the frequent back-and-forth between Miko and Wendy. It's just that every time she saw it, she couldn't help but roast both of them inwardly.
Right... If it were Wendy... She would definitely want Kaito to take her walking around everywhere, right? She seems to like wandering around quite a bit.
Suddenly thinking of this, Lumine realized that she didn't seem to have anything she particularly liked to do, which made her feel quite helpless.
No wonder I stayed in the Ritou Inn all the time before... It turns out I didn't have anything to do...
Now Lumine suddenly realized why she had stayed in the Ritou Inn all the time before. It wasn't that Kaito didn't take her along; it was just that she was too much of a homebody.
Sigh... Homebody!
Sighing silently in her heart again, Lumine lamented that she was just a homebody.
Da da da—
Just then, the sound of footsteps came from outside again.
Thump thump thump—
"Hello, guests, someone says they want to see you."
Accompanied by the knocking sound, a person outside said they were looking for them, causing everyone inside to look at each other in confusion.
"I'll go out and check the situation."
As soon as he finished speaking, Kaito appeared directly outside. Because the people inside the room definitely couldn't be seen by others, Kaito didn't even use the door.
"Ah... Guest, someone wants... wants to see you."
Not expecting a person to suddenly appear in front of her, the shop owner was startled.
However, she eventually stammered that someone was looking for Kaito, while glancing outside to indicate that the person looking for him was right there.
"I understand."
Looking outside, Kaito said he understood and walked out.
Did the Raiden Shogun see me come in here?
While walking outside, Kaito thought this silently. He already knew that the person looking for him was the Raiden Shogun. But regardless, he would go out and see first.
Soon, Kaito arrived outside and saw the Raiden Shogun, as expected.
I wonder what She will think about Acheron soaking in the hot spring with me...
While walking towards where the Raiden Shogun was standing, Kaito thought this silently.
Although in reality Makoto was currently like she was sleeping, he knew that from the Raiden Shogun's perspective it was different, even if the Raiden Shogun hadn't confirmed whether that was really Makoto yet.
"I wonder what business the Raiden Shogun has with me?" Kaito asked this as he approached the Raiden Shogun.
Then, Kaito stopped in front of the Raiden Shogun.
"Can we go somewhere else to talk?" After looking at Kaito for a while, the Raiden Shogun finally said this.
"Somewhere else?"
Not expecting the Raiden Shogun to want to go elsewhere, Kaito looked a bit hesitant. Of course, he was just pretending; he was actually just curious about what the Raiden Shogun wanted to do.
"The place where we met before, the place you destroyed."
Regarding Kaito's question, the Raiden Shogun answered after thinking for a moment.
"That place... I was a bit careless back then."
Although he felt it wasn't entirely his fault, Kaito didn't say it out loud. Anyway, this kind of thing was a trivial matter, no need to say too much; this fit the Raiden Shogun's perception of him.
"So, Kaito, what do you say?"
"Then wait for me a moment, I'll tell them."
Saying this, Kaito turned around to look at the hot spring area. His meaning was clear: he wanted to tell Miko and the others.
