Afternoon.
Sigh...
Why haven't we gotten any answers yet...
Kaito, who had been reading a novel for quite a while, suddenly looked up and frowned.
It couldn't be helped. Over in Mondstadt, even after questioning the Abyss Mages for a long time, Wendy and Lumine still hadn't found any clues about Aether's whereabouts.
It seems Aether is no longer in Mondstadt... Is that why those Abyss Mages don't know where he is?
Setting down the novel in his hands, Kaito couldn't help but think this.
Although he had a feeling earlier, Kaito still wanted to help Lumine find Aether.
"Mhm..." Just then, Kaito suddenly heard Miko's half-awake voice from behind him, prompting him to turn his head and take a look.
This little fox... to think she would actually kick off her blanket...
As soon as he turned his head, Kaito noticed that Miko was no longer covered by the blanket.
As for when she had kicked it off, he had no idea, because he had been reading his novel the whole time.
I should cover her up...
Thinking this, Kaito leaned over, preparing to pull the blanket back over Miko.
However, just as he leaned his body over, Miko suddenly opened her eyes and looked at him.
"What are you doing?" At this moment, their eyes met at close range, and Miko's voice was very calm, as if nothing had happened.
Of course, right now, nothing had actually happened.
"Helping you cover up with the blanket. You're a few hundred years old, after all, how do you still kick off your blanket?"
Although he hadn't expected Miko to wake up so suddenly, Kaito still calmly answered her question.
After all, that was exactly what he was planning to do, so answering truthfully was fine.
"Really?" Glancing at the blanket that was somehow no longer on her body, Miko still asked very calmly.
"Of course it's true, otherwise—"
"Otherwise what?"
Before Kaito could finish speaking, Miko had already beaten him to the punch with her question.
"Otherwise, what did you think I wanted to do?" Kaito quickly replied.
"How should I know."
Watching Kaito ask her with such a serious expression, Miko couldn't help but laugh.
Right...
Suddenly thinking of a question, Miko decided to ask, "Are Wendy and Lumine not back yet?"
"No, they're still in Mondstadt."
Not expecting Miko to suddenly ask this question, Kaito shook his head.
"Aren't you worried?" Miko asked again.
She was very curious about how Kaito would answer her.
After all, if it hadn't been for the things she said at noon, Kaito probably wouldn't be here right now.
"I'm not worried." This time, Kaito's answer was very matter-of-fact, and then he continued, "Wendy is so strong, why would I be worried about her?"
That brat really doesn't need anyone worrying about her...
Hearing Kaito's answer, Miko felt he was quite right.
But even so, she continued to ask, "What about Lumine then? Aren't you worried that little girl Wendy will take her out to fool around?"
"She won't." Because to others, this side of him was considered the boyfriend of Wendy's side, Kaito knew he only needed to answer like this, without explaining too much.
On the contrary, if he explained too much, it would make people feel like he didn't understand Wendy's side or something.
"Then... if you replaced Wendy with me, would you be worried?"
Miko had pretty much guessed Kaito's answer, so she decided to swap the roles and ask again.
"I wouldn't be worried either."
This time, Kaito's answer remained exactly the same as before.
He knew it was best to treat Miko and Wendy equally.
"Why?" Faced with the identical answer, Miko asked why.
After all, this concerned her, so she definitely had to ask why.
"Because you're also very strong, I'm very reassured." As he spoke, Kaito nodded, as if agreeing with his own point.
"I'm not as strong as that brat."
Although she said this, Miko was actually still quite satisfied.
"You might not be quite as strong, but don't you still have me?" As he spoke, Kaito pulled his body back; after all, maintaining a leaning posture all this time was quite tiring.
However, just as he did so, Miko reached out and grabbed his body.
"This is very tiring for me, Miko."
Though he didn't make any further movements, Kaito still said this.
It couldn't be helped; staying like this constantly was very tiring.
"Then lie down." Saying this, Miko pulled Kaito toward the bed, and Kaito just let nature take its course and lay down on it.
"Wow, how are you this heavy."
After pulling Kaito onto herself, Miko feigned surprise and said this.
"Am I? I feel like I'm still quite light." Regarding Miko saying he was heavy, Kaito felt that wasn't right.
After all, in his memory, quite a few people had said he was skinny before.
Of course, that was before he transmigrated, but he still felt he wouldn't gain weight that quickly.
"Why don't you ask Mei and see? She definitely thinks you're heavy too."
With a laugh, Miko told Kaito to just go ask Mei directly.
Acheron is even heavier than I am...
Upon hearing Miko tell him to ask Acheron's side, Kaito immediately thought this.
There was no helping it; he had truly felt the weight of Acheron's side before.
