"Do I look like I'm not drunk to you?"
Opening her eyes and sitting up weakly from the bed, Miko, whose face was completely flushed, looked exasperated.
She had indeed been pretending to be dead drunk back in Mondstadt, all to see what Kaito would do after she passed out.
As it turned out, Kaito really did bring her back, which was well within her expectations.
What she hadn't expected, however, was that this guy Kaito would actually get ready to go eat by himself after putting her on the bed. This was simply too much.
Even if he didn't take the opportunity to do anything weird, he should at least stay by her side and take care of her, right? Just leaving her here like this to go eat by himself was something she truly couldn't tolerate.
"Then I'll go prepare something to help you sober up."
Seeing that Miko truly looked intoxicated, Kaito decided to prepare something for her to drink to sober up. Regardless of the situation, it was best to help her sober up first.
"Sober up my foot! Do you really want to ignore me that much? To think you were actually going to eat..."
Miko actually had quite a lot she wanted to say at this moment, but she had truly drunk way too much wine, leaving her with no choice but to simply scold Kaito first.
Truthfully, she hadn't been hoping for Kaito to do anything to her while she was dead drunk; it was just that she felt Kaito didn't seem to care much about her at all.
She felt that if Lumine had gotten as drunk as she was, Kaito definitely wouldn't have just gone straight to eat; at the very least, he would have stayed by her side to watch over her or something.
"Not at all. I just felt that since you're the familiar of the Electro Archon, you'd be fine after a little while," Kaito said, sitting down on the edge of the bed.
He had to admit, he had indeed taken things a bit for granted.
Regardless of the circumstances, since she was this drunk, he still needed to take care of her, even if she was the Electro Archon's familiar. As for eating... was eating really that important?
"The Electro Archon's familiar? Is this familiar of the Electro Archon really that strong in your eyes?" Miko felt Kaito was just making excuses.
After all, Kaito was incredibly strong. Her title as the Electro Archon's familiar was nothing more than a title at best, and that little girl Wendy had even called her the Electro Archon's pet.
"That's not it either. I just took things for granted, thinking you wouldn't be affected by the wine..."
"Affected by what?" Before Kaito could finish his sentence, Miko interrupted him.
"Affected to the point of having any problems," Kaito quickly replied.
"So that's your excuse for leaving me behind?" Miko still looked exasperated.
If it had been before, she might have pretended not to care, and might have even cracked a joke or something. But now, perhaps because of the alcohol, she chose to speak her mind directly.
She really wanted to see what exactly this Kaito was thinking.
"No, no, I'm not going to eat."
Seeing Miko like this, Kaito hastily stated that he wouldn't go eat.
"If you're not going to eat, then what are you going to do next?" Miko continued to ask.
"Take care of you, of course, Miko." Looking at Miko, Kaito quickly replied.
At this moment, he was already thinking about how to help Miko sober up. However, because he didn't drink alcohol himself, he temporarily couldn't think of a way to cure a hangover.
But it didn't matter; he could just ask Miko. She should know what to do.
"And how are you going to take care of me?" Miko continued to question Kaito.
"First, I'll help you sober up, but—"
"Don't I look perfectly normal right now? I can chat with you just fine, so what is there to sober up from?"
Regarding Kaito's words, Miko spoke with exasperation.
She clearly looked very sober right now, yet this guy was still talking to her about sobering up. He should be the one sobering up instead.
"Alright then, I'll just sit here." Feeling that her words made sense, Kaito decided to just sit down here for now.
If Miko wanted him to do anything later, he would go do it. He knew that at a time like this, it was best not to say too much.
Oh, right...
"Do you want to eat something? I can go buy it for you."
Remembering that Miko had only been drinking and hadn't eaten anything just now, Kaito asked this.
"You're still thinking about eating... then go eat..." Saying this, Miko immediately flopped back down to sleep, pulling the blanket over her face.
Kaito: "..."
Forget it...
I should just sit here...
Better not say anything...
Without standing up, Kaito sat silently on the edge of the bed.
And while Kaito sat silently, Miko, hidden under the blanket, was indignantly thinking about certain things.
This guy only knows how to eat!!!
Hmm...
He should still be sitting there, right?
As she pondered, Miko perked up her ears to listen for any sounds in the room. Because she didn't hear any footsteps, she figured Kaito was still sitting there.
Even so, she pretended to roll over and touched the edge of the bed with her foot.
I really want to kick him off...
Upon bumping into Kaito, Miko indignantly thought this. However, thoughts were just thoughts. Miko didn't actually do it; she merely rolled over.
Just like that, the two remained quiet in the room for quite a while.
What should I make that guy do...
But wouldn't it be better to sober up a bit first...
My head hurts a little...
Under the blanket, Miko felt that keeping this up wasn't a solution, so she tried to think of something to do. However, after much thought, she still didn't know what would be best to do; she just felt a slight headache.
"Are you asleep?" Right at this moment, Kaito's voice came from outside the blanket.
Couldn't he just lift the blanket and look for himself...
Regarding Kaito's words, Miko thought this to herself. But she knew that Kaito definitely wouldn't do such a thing.
After much deliberation, Miko replied, "What? Do you want to sleep with me?"
"It's daytime right now, but since you drank so much wine, I feel it's best if you sleep for a bit."
Miko: "!"
What does he mean by that?
Not expecting Kaito to give such an answer, Miko was completely taken aback.
However, she quickly realized that Kaito was only talking about her, and hadn't said anything about what he himself was going to do.
"And what about you?" After a moment of thought, Miko asked.
"I'll be right here by your side, of course."
Kaito's reply quickly came from outside.
"Then I'll sleep for now." Hearing Kaito's answer, Miko responded this way.
Although it was noon, just as Kaito had said, she had drunk too much wine and really needed to get some sleep.
After that, Miko didn't overthink things anymore, simply closing her eyes and beginning to sleep.
A little while later.
It seems Miko has truly fallen asleep...
Seeing no movement from beneath the blanket for quite some time, Kaito figured that Miko had fallen asleep. At this moment, he was holding a novel and reading it.
Because he didn't know when Miko would wake up, he could only read a novel to pass the time.
Of course, even if he didn't have a novel to read, it wouldn't actually matter. After all, aside from his presence here, he still had his other bodies elsewhere.
