Genshin Impact: One Soul in Two Bodies

Chapter 623 - 623: Why is it the Geo Archon's Gnosis?

"Oh~ So that's how it is~"Her tone sounded just like someone who'd figured something out, and Miko wore an expression that said "I understand completely."

She of course didn't believe Lumine's explanation, but seeing how Lumine's face was now flushed crimson, she found it rather amusing.

There was no doubt about it—Lumine was definitely someone who normally acted very conservative but was in fact quite uninhibited, a girl who only let herself go in front of Kaito.

Sigh.

I really do want to know what Lumine is like in front of Kaito on an ordinary day...

Mulling this over silently, Miko was genuinely curious about the matter.

Of course, this "in front of Kaito" naturally referred to the times when she wasn't wearing any clothes.

But this sort of thing wasn't exactly something she could peep at, and Kaito would surely notice her, so Miko figured the only way to get the answer to this question was through Lumine herself.

The problem was that, as things stood, Lumine clearly wouldn't tell her about it, which left Miko rather helpless.

"I'll go see what Kaito's up to." After saying this, Lumine immediately headed toward the gate of the little courtyard.

There was nothing for it—things had gotten too awkward over here, so she might as well find an excuse to slip away for a bit.

Running away may be shameful, but it works!

"I'll go take a look too."

Knowing what was on Lumine's mind, Miko followed along as well.

After that, Wendy and Mobius both came along too.

In truth, there was no need for them to go over at all; it was simply that since both Miko and Lumine had already gone to take a look, the two of them might as well head over too—otherwise it would seem odd or something.

Next time I'll definitely make Miko and Lumine wear that thing together!

Watching the two of them from behind, Wendy silently thought this to herself.

Soon, though, she thought of a problem.

That was: what should she do if Miko made her and Mobius wear that thing together too?

Although it went without saying that they'd tried the fake one—they'd even tasted the real one—they still didn't really want to wear that thing.

Mm... forget it...

When the time came, she'd just pretend not to be around.

After thinking it over a little, Wendy decided she'd simply stay outside when the time came.

"What's this thing? Did Ningguang send it?" Just then, Miko's curious voice drifted over from up ahead.

"To be precise, she had it delivered on someone else's behalf." Right on the heels of Miko's voice, Kaito quickly answered her.

Wendy got into the swing of things quickly too, opening her mouth to say, "What is it, what is it? Let me have a look."

Actually, there was no need to look—Kaito already knew what was inside.

It was just that Ningguang had said a moment ago that he had to be inside the room to open this case.

Since that was the case, he'd go into the room before looking.

"I'll look once I'm inside—Ningguang told me not to look out here." Answering himself with that, Kaito walked straight toward his own room.

"Is it really that mysterious? You even have to go indoors to look at it."

Since staying silent the whole time would definitely seem strange, Mobius said this.

"Indeed, but going by Ningguang's wealth, this is surely something extremely precious." Miko ventured a guess.

That said, what she wanted to know more right now was why Ningguang would send Kaito something.

After that, the group arrived inside Kaito's room.

It had to be said, with Mobius added to the mix now, the room couldn't help feeling a bit cramped.

"Let me open it."

Taking into account Wendy's status as the Anemo Archon, Kaito decided to let her open the case.

"Then you open it." Kaito handed the case straight over to Wendy.

What a little girl...

Watching Kaito hand the case to Wendy, Miko silently mused to herself for a moment.

And in the brief span of that thought, Wendy had already opened the case.

"Tch, so it's a Gnosis—and here I thought it was something special." After opening the case and seeing the Gnosis inside, Wendy wore a thoroughly disappointed look, then handed the opened case back to Kaito.

A Gnosis???

Never expecting that the thing inside would actually be the Geo Archon's Gnosis, Miko was dumbfounded.

What's going on here???

Why would it be the Geo Archon's Gnosis???

"Why would it be the Geo Archon's Gnosis?" Once she'd come back to her senses, Miko couldn't help blurting out this question.

Although she'd been in Liyue this whole time recently, she hadn't anticipated this happening.

But just then she recalled how, earlier, Zhongli had kept letting Kaito make the decisions, as though the venerable old one were merely a bystander.

Could it be that, before I arrived, Kaito had already settled something with the Geo Archon?

Thinking back on the Geo Archon's strange behavior earlier, Miko couldn't help speculating along these lines.

As for whether the truth was actually so—that she didn't know for the time being.

And as for why it was "for the time being," that was of course because Kaito would surely tell her.

As his girlfriend, Miko felt she was certainly entitled to know about this matter.

"It's probably because the venerable old one wants to retire?" Kaito seemed somewhat unsure.

But in fact, Kaito was quite sure of it.

"Retire?" Never expecting such an answer, Miko was stunned too.

"Can gods retire as well?" At this point Lumine, who had been silent all along, couldn't help asking this.
