"Then I will wait for you here."
Looking in the same direction Kaito was looking, the Raiden Shogun nodded slowly. She naturally agreed to this request.
However, there was one thing She hadn't expected: that Miko could actually soak in a hot spring with a man.
Although She had long known this man was Miko's boyfriend, She still felt their relationship was merely nominal, without any further progression. But clearly, She was mistaken—perhaps even gravely mistaken.
But it didn't matter. She couldn't control Miko in these matters.
"Mn."
Nodding, Kaito walked towards the shop and quickly returned to the private room.
"Who is looking for you, Kaito?"
As soon as he entered, Acheron asked quickly. Actually, she definitely knew, but as a normal reaction, she had to ask anyway.
"The Raiden Shogun," Kaito answered promptly.
The Raiden Shogun? What does She want with Kaito?
Hearing that it was the Raiden Shogun looking for Kaito, Lumine immediately thought this. She couldn't help it; she was genuinely curious about the matter.
Hmm... Why does it feel like I'm the only one surprised?
After looking around, Lumine suddenly realized that she seemed to be the only one surprised; everyone else had no reaction.
"Then, do you want me to come along?"
Miko, who had known who the visitor was the moment Kaito went out, asked. But it had to be said, she hadn't expected Ei to come here looking for Kaito.
And more importantly, the fact that she was soaking in a hot spring with a man must have been discovered by Ei, which made her feel a bit awkward. If she were wearing a somewhat normal swimsuit, it would be fine. But obviously, the swimsuit she was wearing now was not very normal.
But it didn't matter. As long as Ei didn't mention it, she would pretend this never happened, avoiding the awkwardness.
"She didn't specify that. Do you want to come along?" Sensing that Miko wanted to tag along, Kaito asked if she wanted to join.
Anyway, if Miko wanted to come, they would go together. If not, he would go alone. As for the others, they could continue soaking in the hot spring.
"Let's go together then."
After thinking for a moment, Miko nodded. Regardless, she wanted to see what Ei wanted with Kaito.
"Miko and I will step out for a bit. You guys continue soaking."
After saying this, Kaito walked out first. Actually, he addressed this sentence to Lumine. He didn't need to say anything to his other selves. As for Paimon, he needed to say even less.
"You guys carry on, I'll take my lea—Hmm?"
Mid-sentence, Miko suddenly remembered that her previous clothes had been directly transformed into this swimsuit by Wendy; they weren't stored anywhere.
Afterward, Miko turned her gaze toward Wendy, who seemed to be sleeping on the chair.
"Wendy~"
Since it concerned her clothes, Miko's voice was exceptionally gentle this time.
Hmm?
Just after Miko finished speaking, she suddenly realized she was already wearing her original outfit. However, for some reason, she felt something was a bit off.
This wretched girl!
Miko quickly discovered that the swimsuit was still on her body underneath; it hadn't disappeared.
"Miko."
At this moment, Kaito's voice rang out from outside.
"Coming."
After responding, Miko decided not to bicker with Wendy for now and to go out first. Then, Miko walked out.
"Let's go."
Looking at Kaito waiting outside, Miko said this and walked outward. Soon, the two arrived in front of the Raiden Shogun, who had been waiting for some time.
"I do not recall summoning you, Miko."
Looking at Miko beside Kaito, Ei spoke faintly. Actually, She didn't mind, but She knew Miko had definitely tagged along on her own accord.
"Oh my, is there something you don't want me to know? If so, then I will..."
"That is not the case."
Before Miko could finish, Ei spoke again. Then She decided to cut the chatter.
"Let us go, Kaito."
Having said that, Ei vanished from the spot.
"Running off so fast, not even mentioning the destination?" Miko muttered to the empty air. Of course, she knew Kaito definitely knew where to go.
"Let's go too. She is waiting for us at Tenshukaku."
With that, Kaito and Miko vanished together.
Meanwhile, inside the hot spring room, Acheron spoke up.
"I wonder what the Raiden Shogun wants with Kaito?"
Because he felt like he had left Lumine aside again, Kaito decided to explain the situation through Acheron.
"It should be about Makoto, right?" In response to Acheron, Lumine said somewhat uncertainly. She didn't know if that was the case, just guessing.
"Probably. But this time, the Raiden Shogun only called Kaito and Miko over. I wonder if something will happen."
Acheron nodded and added this. In reality, there was nothing to worry about. She just wanted Lumine to know that this was the Raiden Shogun's request.
"Sigh, if only we could go too. I'm really curious what they are going to do."
At this moment, Paimon, who was eating nearby, suddenly sighed.
Then, Wendy, lying on the chair, spoke up. "Since you guys are so curious, how about I go over and secretly check the situation?"
"Yeah!"
Paimon was very supportive of what Wendy wanted to do. She couldn't help it; she was just too curious about what they were up to.
"I feel like Kaito wouldn't want you to do this," Acheron continued saying what she was supposed to say.
"Yeah, Wendy, it feels... not very good to do that."
Although Lumine really wanted to know what Kaito and the others were doing, Acheron was right; it wasn't appropriate.
"Don't worry about it. Kaito definitely won't blame me."
As she said this, Wendy stood up from the chair, and the swimsuit on her body transformed back into her usual clothes.
"Go for it, Wendy!"
Paimon was already cheering her on.
"Just wait here for my good news."
After saying this, Wendy immediately vanished from the spot.
"Wendy... really went over there."
Looking at the room where Wendy was no longer present, Lumine spoke with some worry. However, inwardly, she actually felt that what Wendy did was quite nice. Because this way, she could know what Kaito and the others were doing, instead of knowing nothing like before.
"Let her be."
Looking somewhat helpless, Acheron finally said this.
Of course, she was just acting. She knew Lumine definitely wanted to know what Kaito and the others were up to as well.
