Genshin Impact: One Soul in Two Bodies

Chapter 615 - 615: Why Do You Care So Much?

"Then why are you looking at me like that?" Wendy asked, feigning ignorance.Of course she knew perfectly well why Lumine was looking at her like that, but she just had to put on an act and ask as though she didn't.

"I... thought Mobius had come back! So that's why I was like that just now—yeah, that's all it was."

After hesitating for a moment, Lumine, having hit upon an excuse, quickly answered like this.

No matter what, she absolutely couldn't let Wendy know what she'd been thinking just now.

It was obvious that Wendy didn't want her to know about that sort of thing, and she absolutely couldn't let it show—otherwise there was no telling whether Wendy might use some kind of Grand Memory-Erasure Technique on her.

"Oh, Mobius, huh—then let's hurry up and get out of here first." When she heard Lumine bring up Mobius, Wendy took a quick look around.

After that, she grabbed Lumine's hand and swiftly vanished from where they stood, then reappeared at the foot of Mt. Tianheng.

"Let's wait here a bit for Miko." Since Miko was currently walking over this way, Wendy decided to wait here for her ahead of time.

As for why she didn't just go straight over to Miko's side—that was, of course, because of what had happened just now.

"Come to think of it... Wendy, do you know what Mobius is doing?" At this point Lumine, having confirmed where she was, spoke up.

Just now she'd suddenly remembered that neither she nor Miko had told Wendy a thing about what Mobius was up to, so she figured she'd let Wendy in on it.

"What's Mobius doing?" Seeming a little surprised, Wendy shook her head and then continued, "So what is she doing? Don't tell me she's out to do Kai harm? But no, that's not right either—she likes Kai so much."

"Here's how it is..." Seeing that Wendy didn't know, Lumine briefly explained the matter of Mobius.

"Miko actually had someone use her appearance to do that sort of thing with Kai? She doesn't mind?"

After listening to Lumine's account, Wendy seemed quite surprised at what Miko had done, while as for Mobius she had nothing in particular to say.

"That... she probably doesn't mind."

After thinking it over, Lumine shook her head—she really had no idea what was going on in Miko's mind.

"In that case, if we head back now, we might just catch them right in the middle of doing that sort of thing." At this moment Wendy seemed somewhat excited, which left Lumine utterly baffled.

Originally Wendy had seemed not to mind Mobius at all, and that would have been fine—but now she actually wanted to see Kaito and Mobius doing that sort of thing, which left Lumine completely unable to make heads or tails of it.

Oh, right...

Did Wendy throw the thing away...?

Just then Lumine suddenly noticed that Wendy's hands were now completely empty—that thing from before had vanished to who-knows-where.

But curious as she was, she certainly wasn't going to come out and ask where that thing had gone.

It couldn't be helped—a question like that was just too strange, and she really didn't want to ask it.

"How come I get the feeling you're really fixated on that thing, Lumine?" Naturally, Wendy had seen Lumine's little movements just now crystal clear.

Lumine: "..."

"...Don't go saying weird things." The somewhat embarrassed Lumine resolved to deny it to the bitter end.

But Wendy didn't keep harping on her denial; instead she said this: "Do you still remember what I told you before—that later on I'd give you a special little ball? I'll give it to you once we get back."

Lumine: "..."

Hearing Wendy put it that way, Lumine recalled the matter of Wendy saying before that she'd give her a special little ball.

She had to admit, she really never expected that this special little ball would turn out to be that kind of thing.

"About that, I..."

Just as Lumine was about to say something, the sound of footsteps came from beside them.

Turning her head to look, it was Miko coming over, while Wendy had already started walking toward her.

It couldn't be helped—Lumine had no choice but to follow along too, and didn't go on with the words she'd prepared.

In any case it wouldn't be too late to bring it up later, and besides, she'd already promised Wendy earlier, so it would be awkward to refuse now.

"You two really did walk off fast." Looking at the pair coming toward her, Miko said this.

Of course she knew Wendy was quick, but some things still needed to be said.

"I've always been quick, haven't I." Wendy shot back directly that she'd always been quick—because that was simply the truth.

"Lumine, did you tell Wendy about the Mobius matter?" At this point Miko's gaze turned to Lumine beside her.

No matter what, this time's affair was a bit different, so it had to be explained to Wendy.

"I told her."

Lumine answered quickly—she'd just told Wendy a moment ago, only Wendy didn't seem to care much about it.

At least say something about how Wendy reacted...

Unable to help thinking this inwardly, Miko spoke up: "So how does the little brat Wendy see it?"

Since this matter counted as advice she herself had given Mobius, Miko felt she ought to know how everyone else viewed it.

"Anyway, just don't come hit me and we're good."

Seeming to have mulled something over, Wendy wore a look of complete indifference.

Don't come hit me and we're good?

When did Wendy ever get hit by Mobius?

No wonder she was being so cautious just now.

Listening to Wendy's words, Lumine too thought this silently to herself.

"When did you get hit by Mobius?" Miko was a little curious—curious why Wendy would have been hit by Mobius.

"What do you care so much for."

Wendy spoke in a thoroughly dismissive tone.

It couldn't be helped—this thing had never happened in the first place, so naturally there was nothing to say about it.

As for why she put it this way, it was because she wanted to draw Miko's attention away for a bit; she didn't want Miko to keep dwelling on why she seemed so unbothered about Mobius doing that sort of thing with Kaito.

With so many people around now, it wasn't easy to break things down to any one specific person, so being vague was best.

"Then why did you..."

"You little fox—the moment your mouth's got nothing in it you love to ask questions. Might as well let you keep holding that thing in your mouth." Knowing that her own idea hadn't worked, Wendy went straight for Miko's sore spot.

Miko: "???"

Not expecting Wendy to suddenly say that about her, Miko was furious.

"I'm not like a certain someone who goes straight to sleep with that thing in her mouth!"

Since this nasty little brat Wendy wasn't being polite, then naturally she didn't need to hold back either.

Lumine: "..."

So she really does wear it to sleep...

With this, Lumine could be sure of the guess she'd made just now.

But she really hadn't expected that Wendy would have a hobby like this—it was truly shocking.

Of course, she couldn't let any strange expression show, or else Wendy would likely use the Grand Memory-Erasure Technique on her—and the same went for Miko.

"Who told you that?"

As if stunned for a moment, Wendy immediately asked this in a very loud voice.

"Obviously I saw it myself!" Miko's answer came no less swiftly.

As for why she didn't come right out and name Kaito, it was because her opponent was Wendy, so she figured there was no need to answer truthfully.
