Chapter 625 - 625: Why are we still talking about this...
"Don't drag me into this — I'm no match for Mobius." Not having expected Wendy to count her in as well, Miko immediately made it clear that she shouldn't be dragged in either.Setting aside the question of whether she could even beat Mobius — Miko was someone who loved to watch the drama unfold. If a fight did break out, she'd naturally watch from the sidelines rather than throw herself into it.
Of course, if Mobius harbored ill intentions, that would be a different matter entirely.
"Scaredy-ghost — no, that's wrong, scaredy-fox!" Suddenly recalling that Inazuma really did have ghosts, and that Miko was a fox, Wendy decided to call Miko a scaredy-fox.
Haa...
Still listening quietly off to the side, Lumine watched the two of them bickering yet again and let out a sigh.
Even though she had witnessed similar scenes many times by now, Lumine still couldn't help feeling exasperated and sighing.
"Well then, little sister Miko..."
"I arrived earlier than you, so I ought to be the older sister." Regarding how Mobius addressed her, Miko offered a little correction.
Even if, going purely by age, Mobius really was much older than her, when it came to Kaito, the situation was a different story.
Even if Mobius had gotten to know Kaito earlier, making their relationship official had only happened recently — much later than Miko had.
"Oh, then, big sister Miko, are you really a fox? Could you transform a little and let me see?"
On the matter of forms of address, Mobius decided to put on the persona of someone who didn't care and didn't mind, so without giving it much thought she simply called her big sister Miko.
"It's definitely fake — I've never even seen her turn into a fox." Wendy decided to try a little reverse psychology.
"That's right, it's fake."
Seeing the look on Wendy's face that said she wanted to see it too, Miko smiled faintly and simply went along with her words, declaring that she really was a fake fox, not a real one.
In any case, no matter what, she would not be turning into fox form here.
If it were only Kaito here right now, then she might give it some consideration, but at the moment Kaito wasn't around while everyone else was, so there was no way that would happen.
"So that's how it is..."
"What do you mean, fake? I saw your fox tail before!" Now Wendy looked utterly earnest and sincere, completely disregarding the fact that she herself had just said Miko was a fake fox a moment ago.
Lumine: "..."
This Wendy...
How could she contradict herself from one breath to the next...
Not having expected Wendy to contradict herself like that, Lumine was left speechless.
Although she knew Wendy was surely just trying to come out on top of Miko in their war of words, contradicting herself this blatantly was honestly a bit too much.
"You little brat, didn't you only just say I was a fake fox? How is it that now you're saying you saw my fox tail?"
At Wendy's self-contradicting words, Miko couldn't help but laugh.
She naturally knew exactly why Wendy was behaving this way, but she wanted to see how Wendy would answer her.
Whether she'd dig in her heels to the bitter end, or frankly own up to it.
"Maybe she just remembered it wrong?" Mobius wore a speculative expression, looking for all the world as though she were genuinely guessing.
"Little sister Mobius, this is where you just don't get it — whenever it concerns me, this little brat is always like this."
Thinking Mobius truly believed that, Miko hurried to explain it to her this way.
In any case, she had to let Mobius know Wendy's true colors no matter what — she couldn't let herself be fooled by Wendy's appearance.
Oh, right...
It seemed the two of them had already known each other for a very long time.
At this moment, Miko suddenly remembered this point.
Still, she also knew that the Mobius of before would have found it quite hard to appear at Kaito's side, since that fellow used to slip away the instant he laid eyes on Mobius.
"Hmph! It's none of your business what I think." Now Wendy clearly had no intention of revealing what was on her mind.
"So, big sister Miko, are you a real fox or a fake one?" Although she could already plainly sense that Miko didn't want to show off her little fox form, Mobius still wanted to give it a try.
The truth was, she really wanted Miko to turn into a little fox and curl up on Kaito's shoulder over there — she just didn't know what Miko's own wishes were.
"That's a secret." Miko had no intention of answering this question.
Although the answer to this question was in fact something plenty of people already knew, since Wendy and the others here didn't know, she simply wouldn't say.
No matter what, she absolutely would not turn into a little fox in front of them — not if her life depended on it.
"She definitely is!" Wendy tossed in at this point.
Still, Wendy wasn't planning to carry this topic on any further, because she also needed to leave some room for Kaito's side to play it up.
In any case, now that their side had already broached the matter, when Kaito's side brought it up later it wouldn't come across as abrupt — even though Kaito wasn't here at the moment.
"Oh, that's right — Lumine still hasn't told us how she managed to guess that thing little sister Mobius mentioned."
Seeing that Wendy still wanted to keep this topic going, Miko decided to push Lumine out into the spotlight to draw everyone's attention.
"Huh? What thing?!" Not having expected to suddenly be brought up, Lumine was stunned for a moment and quickly asked.
Before long, however, she remembered.
Why are they still going on about this...
I really was just taking a wild guess...
Thinking this quietly to herself, Lumine felt utterly helpless.
