By the way...
Does Kaito have this kind of ability too?
If he does...
Hmm...
Suddenly thinking of this question, Lumine's mind wandered, and images unsuitable for children appeared in her head.
"What's wrong? Is there something else? We're leaving." Just as Lumine was thinking that, Acheron looked at her with some confusion and asked.
"Oh, let's go then. It's nothing."
Coming back to her senses, Lumine quickly shook her head to indicate nothing was wrong, then walked quickly towards the doorway.
No matter what, she obviously couldn't tell Acheron what she was just thinking.
But even if she couldn't say it, she felt she could actually ask Acheron later.
Of course, now wasn't a good opportunity. She had to wait for later, like just now when it was only her and Acheron.
Is she thinking about what happened with Wendy just now?
Silently watching Lumine's back from behind, Acheron couldn't help but think this.
Because Wendy had just helped Lumine change clothes, Acheron had this guess.
However, she wasn't quite clear on exactly what Lumine was thinking.
Forget it...
Let's go back first...
Miko will definitely come find me later...
Thinking this, Acheron also walked out of the room.
Afterwards, the group walked towards the Ritou Inn.
And after walking a certain distance, Acheron sensed Miko's arrival.
Actually this fast?
But Kaito was even faster just now...
Suddenly stopping, Acheron thought this silently.
"Why did you stop? Acheron." The one speaking at this moment was Paimon, flying behind Acheron.
Because when they went back just now, Paimon had packed up all the things Kaito bought, so carrying the items, she flew very slowly, located at the very back, which was behind Acheron.
And accompanied by her voice, Lumine, who was walking in front of Acheron, also stopped and turned her head back.
As for Kaito, he also turned back at this moment.
"Miko is here." Sensing Lumine and Paimon's gazes, Acheron said faintly, while also looking in a certain direction.
Afterwards, in the place she had been looking at, Miko appeared and walked towards their group.
"You actually didn't continue soaking in the hot spring; I was wondering where you went." Before the person even arrived, Miko's voice had already been transmitted over.
Just now, after leaving Tenshukaku, she had gone straight to the place to soak in the hot spring, only to find that Kaito and the others were no longer there. Later, she turned around and continued walking towards the Ritou Inn where Kaito stayed, finally catching up to them here.
"Soak any longer and we'd turn into sous-vide dishes." Looking at the approaching Miko, Kaito said jokingly.
"Sous-vide dishes?"
Regarding Kaito's adjective, Miko was obviously stunned for a moment, then she continued grumpily: "Is that how you describe it? Kaito, you make soaking in a hot spring sound like boiling people."
Sous-vide?
This adjective is not bad...
Listening silently on the side, Lumine felt Kaito's description was quite apt.
"Metaphor, I was just using a metaphor. Besides, how did you come over so quickly? Not going to accompany the Raiden Shogun a bit more?" Smiling, Kaito asked this knowingly.
He certainly knew what Miko came over for this time, but he still had to pretend he didn't know.
"Oh my, Kaito, you don't understand this. Her Excellency the Shogun doesn't need me to accompany Her." Pausing, Miko continued: "However, Her Excellency does want someone to accompany Her, it's just not me."
Actually, Miko was a bit puzzled now, puzzled that Kaito actually hadn't guessed what she came over for.
Is this guy playing dumb?
Since I just said that kind of thing, he must know what will happen next, right?
Looking at Kaito, Miko couldn't help but think this.
"Then who does the Raiden Shogun want to accompany Her? I'm very curious?" At this moment, Paimon spoke again. She was very curious about who exactly the Raiden Shogun wanted to accompany Her.
The Raiden Shogun wants someone to accompany Her?
Could it be...
Is it Kaito?!
Hearing Miko say that, Lumine immediately thought of this possibility.
After all, Kaito had just returned from the Raiden Shogun's side, so this possibility was very high.
However, regarding the matter of Kaito taking down the Raiden Shogun so quickly, Lumine still felt it was incredible.
Although Kaito's various girlfriends were no worse than the Raiden Shogun, wasn't this speed a bit too fast? Not to mention Kaito didn't seem to have met the Raiden Shogun much.
Could it be during that time I was staying in the hotel on that island before?
Thinking it over, Lumine could only think this way.
After all, since she came to Inazuma City, she had been following Kaito most of the time and hadn't really seen him together with the Raiden Shogun.
"I know!" Just as Lumine was guessing if Kaito was the person the Raiden Shogun wanted, Paimon suddenly shouted loudly, causing everyone present to look at her.
What exactly do you know?
Looking at Paimon, who seemed to know some earth-shattering secret, Lumine thought somewhat speechlessly. She didn't think Paimon would know anything extraordinary.
But even so, she still wanted to hear what Paimon had to say.
"What does a little one like you know?" Miko, who was about to speak, also wanted to hear what Paimon knew after hearing her words.
"It's that the Raiden Shogun wants Kaito to accompany Her, right?"
Under everyone's gaze, Paimon looked confident.
This Paimon...
Actually thought of this possibility...
Unexpectedly, Paimon's thought was actually the same as hers. Lumine was surprised; Paimon seemed to have become smarter.
Is it because she has been following her for a while?
"Hahaha—"
Just then, Lumine heard Miko's laughter from the side.
Hmm?
Why is Miko laughing?
Turning her head to look at Miko, who was laughing very happily, Lumine was also full of confusion, not knowing why she was laughing so happily.
"Stop laughing, Miko. Worry about the Raiden Shogun settling scores with you."
Although knowing Miko was someone who liked to watch the fun, Kaito still told her to stop laughing.
Because for him, that sentence Paimon just said was indeed not wrong, but in other people's eyes, that was definitely not the case.
"It's fine. Anyway, even if She wants to settle scores, She definitely has to find this little guy first." Gradually putting away her smile, Miko looked like it was none of her business.
"Eh? Why settle scores with me first?"
Paimon still didn't know the situation.
"Maybe because the sentence you just said is wrong. It's a bit like spreading rumors, and spreading rumors about the Raiden Shogun at that." At this moment, Acheron said faintly.
