"By the way, Acheron, are we just going to wait here for Kaito and the others to come back?"
Suddenly thinking of this question, Lumine opened her mouth to ask Acheron, who was next to her.
Actually, she was quite worried that Acheron would also go to the Raiden Shogun's place, leaving her here alone.
If that really happened, she felt she should also go over to see the situation, though she might not be able to get into the Raiden Shogun's place if she were alone.
"Mn. Let's just wait for them here."
Saying this, Acheron stood up from the hot spring and then went to a chair to lie down.
It had to be said, the moment she stood up from the hot spring, she felt truly cool and refreshing.
Mn... Suddenly kind of want to do that thing again...
But is it still Acheron's turn this time?
Lying on the chair, eyes closed, Acheron fell into thought.
Meanwhile, seeing Acheron stand up and lie on the chair, Lumine also stood up.
Since they were waiting for people here, she certainly couldn't keep soaking in the hot spring, or she'd turn into a sous-vide dish.
Afterwards, Lumine also lay down on a chair.
It feels almost like not wearing anything...
Feeling the contact between her body and the chair, Lumine couldn't help but think this.
While the two were lying on their respective chairs, Kaito on the other side had already arrived at the Raiden Shogun's Tenshukaku and sat down.
In the seat, Kaito sat opposite the Raiden Shogun, while Miko was behind the Raiden Shogun.
"This tea is not bad."
After gently taking a sip of tea, Kaito imitated Zhongli from before, as if he were really savoring something.
But in reality, he felt all tea tasted about the same; he just said that sentence to give the other party some face.
Normally he didn't drink tea, so he couldn't say anything specific about it, and could only say something like "the tea is not bad."
"So... can you tell me about your identity?"
Looking at Kaito, Ei, after hesitating for a moment, finally asked this.
Although She had asked this question before, She felt that asking again today might yield a different answer than before.
After all, he had now revealed more information to Her, so naturally, this information might also be shown for Her to see.
Mn... Why is Ei asking this question again?
Silently standing in the back, Miko couldn't help but think this.
She knew Ei had asked this question before and didn't get any effective answer. And now, Ei actually asked this question again.
Could it be that this guy is prepared to answer this question?
Thinking it over, Miko could only think this way. Otherwise, she really couldn't understand why Ei would ask like this again.
"Just an ordinary person."
Regarding this question from the Raiden Shogun, Kaito answered faintly like this.
There was no helping it; aside from having that system, wasn't he just an ordinary person? Where would he get some unfathomable identity?
Sigh... Does the Raiden Shogun think I have something to do with the Heavenly Principles or something?
Silently sighing in his heart, Kaito thought this silently.
He knew that the answer he gave the Raiden Shogun not long ago obviously made the Raiden Shogun think in a weirder direction.
But there was no helping it; he wouldn't tell the Raiden Shogun the real situation. And let alone the Raiden Shogun, even Lumine or Miko wouldn't do.
Ei: "..."
Looking at Kaito for a long time, Ei knew She still had no way to obtain information regarding his identity.
And in that case, then She should be a bit more direct.
"Then... is Acheron Makoto? Did She... come back?"
Continuing to look at Kaito, Ei looked forward to his answer.
Yes... Ei. That is Makoto... But the situation isn't that simple, that's all...
Listening to Ei's question, Miko in the back once again answered Her question silently in her heart.
However, she was very curious about how Kaito would answer this question.
Still beating around the bush? Or answering the question directly?
"Yes."
Just as Miko was thinking about how Kaito would answer, Kaito simply said yes.
Ei: "!"
Her face, which originally had no expression, immediately changed; Ei finally obtained the answer to this question.
Although She had long been thinking about this answer, it was only after getting Kaito's reply that it was finally confirmed.
And after getting the answer to this question, new doubts appeared in Her heart: Why is Makoto still alive?
One must know that on that day, Makoto had died right in front of Her. And now, Makoto was back.
How exactly... was this done? Resurrection? Or is it that... Makoto didn't die back then?
And why does Makoto seem to have forgotten Her?
Constantly thinking about these questions in Her mind, Ei really wanted to know why.
However, She also knew that with so many questions, he definitely wouldn't answer them all.
After all, it was already not easy for Her to get the answer that it was indeed Makoto, so She shouldn't think too much.
But even so, She still had to ask one question.
"Then, has Makoto lost her memory?"
Thinking a lot in Her mind, Ei asked this question. She really wanted to know whether Makoto didn't recognize Her or had just lost her memories from before.
"Maybe."
Kaito once again answered very quickly.
Anyway, since Makoto wanted the Raiden Shogun to think she had amnesia, he would do just that.
However, Makoto was currently in a state similar to slumber; if the Raiden Shogun wanted to see Her now, he would have to notify Her through Acheron.
It's just that there's a problem; he needs to find an excuse, otherwise Makoto would definitely find it strange why Acheron's side could know about his matters here immediately.
This guy... really puts on a good act...
Continuing to listen silently to the conversation between Ei and Kaito from behind, Miko also continued to think this.
Because she spent more time with Kaito, at least relative to Ei, she could feel that Kaito was different now from usual.
Maybe...
After getting this answer, Ei actually really wanted to continue asking more questions.
But after thinking about it, She felt that She probably wouldn't get an answer even if She asked, so She didn't ask immediately.
And more importantly, Miko was there; perhaps She could get her to answer some of Her doubts.
Whether Miko knew, or if She asked Miko to ask, both were good methods.
Of course, She wouldn't ask right now; at least She had to wait for Kaito to leave.
"If you want to know more, I think it's better for you to go find Her directly."
Suddenly saying this sentence, Kaito also stood up, looking like he was preparing to leave.
