Chapter 610 - 610: Yes, that's right, let him be responsible.
Hmm...She's really not moving anymore...
Watching Mobius wear an expression that gave no hint of what she was thinking, Lumine couldn't help feeling a little surprised.
Even though she had already sensed before just how extraordinary Mobius's feelings toward Kaito were, she still couldn't help being taken aback now.
You could say that Miko's words really didn't hold up to scrutiny—give it a moment's thought and you'd surely never believe it so easily—yet right now Mobius looked completely bluffed into submission.
The way Lumine saw it, this was obviously all because it concerned Kaito. Had it been anything else, Mobius probably wouldn't be reacting this way.
"So what is it you wanted to talk to me about?"
After mulling it over for a long while, Mobius finally asked.
My acting's pretty decent, isn't it...
Her face looking deadly serious, Mobius was inwardly gloating along these cheerful lines.
Of course she knew Miko was spinning a tall tale—she was just going to play along with her for now.
"Actually, what I want is for you to turn into me, and then when Kaito comes back in a bit, keep doing that with him." Figuring it was better to spell it out quickly, Miko dropped her earlier wishy-washy, won't-quite-say-it manner and continued: "Once that guy Kaito comes back from outside and sees me looking like this, he's definitely going to keep going."
Because just now Mobius had clearly shown she was willing to accept that thing—after all, Kaito liked it—that was why she said something like this.
Miko's only saying this to stall for time, right?
It really felt like Miko genuinely intended to have Mobius turn into her and go on doing that sort of thing with Kaito, and Lumine couldn't help thinking so too.
But whether it was because Miko was acting too earnestly, she just kept getting the feeling that Miko really did plan to go through with it, and that it wasn't merely a move made out of desperation.
"And then?" Mobius knew Miko surely still had more to say.
"I want you, once you're satisfied, to change right back—and scare that guy half to death!" At this point, Miko finally laid out her true objective.
Although Mobius could, for now, be counted as their enemy, that wasn't the case at all when it came to Kaito—after all, she rather liked him.
And not just toward Kaito; even toward her and Lumine, Mobius actually didn't hold much hostility either.
Lumine: "???"
Once again unable to resist turning her head to look at Miko, Lumine realized something was off about her.
After all, for something like this to be something Miko came up with herself, rather than something Mobius wanted to do—that really was utterly out of keeping with reason.
Could it be she's angry at Kaito because I caught her looking like this just now?
Turning it over and over in her mind, Lumine suddenly hit upon this possibility.
Otherwise, she truly couldn't make sense of the situation—it surely couldn't be that Miko wanted Kaito to accept Mobius, the same way it was between the two of them.
This Miko actually wants to mess with me like this...
After hearing out what Miko said, Mobius hadn't expected her to want to make her own side do something like this either.
But before long, Mobius grew curious about what exactly Miko was thinking.
Could it be it's because she hasn't undone her... condition?
Without much thought, Mobius landed on this possibility.
Then she spoke up: "Then why should I—"
"Don't tell me you don't want Kaito to know that it's actually you who's been doing that kind of thing with him? Just now he even said your mouth was really something during the daytime—it's just that he doesn't know it's you, so he was actually praising Lumine."
Before Mobius could finish what she was saying, Miko had already cut her off and said this.
Miko figured that since Mobius liked Kaito this much, she'd surely want to get close to Kaito using her own identity rather than always under someone else's.
Lumine: "..."
Even though it wasn't about her, Lumine kept feeling something was a bit off.
It couldn't be helped—the thing Miko was talking about was just too indecent.
"Then once I'm exposed, it won't be so easy to go on again..."
"If you keep this up, he'll find out sooner or later anyway. This time, even before we said anything to him, he already felt something was a little strange." Once again Miko cut off Mobius's words.
Because Mobius's inner conflict was plain to see, Miko kept pressing her advantage.
Were it not for the fact that her own situation was a bit awkward right now, she'd have long since walked right up in front of Mobius to keep telling her what she thought.
"So what you mean is, let him know that I've actually already done that sort of thing with him, and then make him take responsibility?" Looking as though she'd thought through a great many things, Mobius said this slowly.
Huh?
Since when did Miko mean that?
Lumine at this moment was utterly bewildered too; she was very curious as to how on earth Mobius had arrived at this conclusion.
Miko: "!"
"Yes! That's exactly what I mean!"
The moment she heard Mobius say that, Miko immediately affirmed that this was indeed so.
In truth, her original idea hadn't been anything like that at all, but what Mobius said felt pretty good to her, so she just took it and ran with it.
As for what state Kaito would be scared into by then, well, that was no concern of hers—as long as he wasn't frightened so badly that something went wrong down there, it'd all be fine.
How is it I can't make out that meaning at all?
After Miko confirmed that was indeed the meaning, Lumine once again couldn't help thinking this.
It couldn't be helped—she really couldn't detect that meaning in anything the two of them had said, not in the slightest, which left Lumine in a state of self-doubt.
"And what if he refuses?" Mobius didn't look too reassured about that method.
Refuse, huh...
Oh, right!
Wasn't she doing this in order to bear Kaito's child?
Lumine, who had been wondering what the situation would be like by then, suddenly recalled her earlier guess.
But looking at Mobius now, she felt she'd probably guessed wrong.
Otherwise, Mobius would have just come out and said so a moment ago, and wouldn't be waiting around for Miko to give her ideas.
Of course, it was still too early; results wouldn't come that quickly.
Should I just ask, then?
Although she felt the likelihood was no longer that great, Lumine was still very curious, and kept staring at Mobius with the air of wanting to ask.
"What's a little yellow-haired girl like you staring at me for, this whole time?" Mobius, of course, hadn't failed to notice Lumine's frequent attentive glances.
Lumine wouldn't be acting like this because she thinks Kaito's gone and gotten a new girlfriend, would she?
While waiting for Lumine to answer, Mobius silently made this guess in her heart, and she felt the likelihood was quite high.
And just as she was thinking about how to give some sort of reply, Lumine opened her mouth.
"I just wanted to ask—are you carrying Kaito's child?"
Seeing Mobius bring it up, Lumine simply asked it outright.
"Huh???" It has to be said, Mobius was struck dumb by this question of Lumine's.
"What's going on???" Thinking Lumine had discovered some important piece of evidence, Miko was startled. "Mobius is pregnant???"
"Then how come I don't even know about it myself?" Mobius was speechless; she had no idea how Lumine had come to think such a thing.
