Chapter 617 - 617: So she wasn't wearing clothes after all...
The small courtyard. Alright.Time to have Mobius start pretending to laze in bed, refusing to leave...
Sitting up abruptly in bed, Kaito looked at Mobius, who was likewise seated beside him, and couldn't help thinking this.
Through Wendy, Kaito knew that Miko and Lumine were on their way back now, so he had to get things ready on his end.
The thing was, he and Mobius hadn't actually done anything at all, and Kaito wasn't sure whether he could keep the two of them from spotting any flaw.
His idea now was to have Mobius keep lazing in bed and refusing to leave, while he stood off to the side looking utterly helpless.
Of course, Mobius also had to stay undressed, keeping herself covered with the quilt the whole time—only then would it seem he was in no position to drive her out.
After that, Mobius, sitting beside him, quickly stripped off the clothes from her body and tossed them carelessly onto the bed, some even landing on the floor.
And once all this was done, she burrowed under the quilt.
Alright...
Time to go out and greet them...
After glancing at Mobius, who had already slipped under the quilt, Kaito stood up and headed outside.
Outside.
"Why does it feel a little too quiet?"
Having returned to just outside the small courtyard and looking at the place that seemed entirely as usual, Lumine couldn't help saying this.
Although even she didn't know exactly what the courtyard ought to look like to match the current situation, she simply felt something was off.
"Hasn't it always been like this?"
Glancing at Lumine and then looking around, Miko felt everything was perfectly normal.
Then again, even if there had been traces of a fight, Miko would still have considered it normal—after all, those two might well have come to blows out of love turned to hatred.
"Mobius really is here, still inside Kai's room." At this point Wendy spoke up too.
Inside Kaito's room?
Could it be they still weren't finished?
The moment she heard Wendy say this, Lumine instinctively thought so.
"Then where's Kaito?" Miko, for her part, was very concerned about where Kaito was.
Was he in the room too? Or had he slipped away for the time being again?
"I'm right here." Before Wendy's answer came, Miko heard Kaito's voice, accompanied by the sound of a door opening.
Then Miko saw Kaito, who had opened the door, come outside.
"Kai, did that wicked woman Mobius come bullying you again?" The moment Kaito came out, Wendy immediately went up to meet him, her face full of concern.
As for why she called Mobius a wicked woman, that was naturally to corroborate what she'd said earlier about Mobius having once hit her.
Although Mobius had no intention of playing the wicked woman, from Wendy's point of view there should be nothing wrong with addressing her that way.
It'd be more accurate to say Kaito was the one bullying Mobius...
Not having expected Wendy to say such a thing, Miko couldn't help thinking this.
"This... is a bit hard to explain." As if mulling something over, Kaito slowly shook his head.
"What's wrong? Why is it hard to explain?"
Miko looked rather puzzled.
Oh no...
I forgot to tell that little brat Wendy not to reveal that I was the one who taught Mobius to do that...
At that moment Miko suddenly remembered she hadn't yet given Wendy a heads-up, which inevitably made her start to worry.
If Kaito found out that she had teamed up with Mobius, she had no idea whether he'd be angry.
Although she'd only come up with that scheme in the heat of anger earlier, now she couldn't help feeling a twinge of guilt.
And just then, Wendy turned her head and met her eyes for a moment.
This little brat is definitely about to spill it.
Seeing Wendy turn to look at her, Miko immediately thought so.
"Let's go inside first." Without saying much more, Kaito indicated they should head in first, then walked into the small courtyard.
Seizing the chance, Miko quickly strode over to Wendy and patted her on the shoulder.
"What are you patting me for?" Wendy turned around, looking puzzled, while Miko could only put on a smile.
"To keep you from growing any taller, of course."
Knowing Wendy was surely about to throw her under the bus, Miko said this and then also headed into the small courtyard.
That detestable little brat...
Actually playing dumb!
Following behind Kaito, Miko looked quite resigned.
But there was nothing to be done—this time the trouble really was of her own making, so she couldn't blame Wendy for anything.
"Miko, Mobius is in the room right now."
As they walked along, Kaito suddenly turned his head and said this, catching the somewhat guilty Miko off guard.
"Huh?" Looking at Kaito, Miko just let out a startled sound, then hurriedly went on: "Then..."
"She just transformed into your appearance, and then I... well... did that sort of thing with her." Before Miko could finish, Kaito continued, "Now she wants me to take responsibility for her, and she's been refusing to get out of bed."
"Then... how about I go in and take a look?"
After hesitating a moment, Miko offered to go in and check on the situation.
"Go ahead then, and while you're at it, ask her whether she wants anything else—and if she tries to get physical..."
"It'll be fine—you're here too, aren't you? I'm going in to take a look." Knowing Mobius surely wouldn't lash out, Miko walked straight toward the room.
Soon, she cautiously pushed open the door to Kaito's room.
But before she could push the door fully open, Wendy's voice came from behind.
"I want to see too."
What's there to see...
Unable to resist glancing back at Wendy's words, Miko thought this with some exasperation; she was growing more and more curious about Wendy's age.
"Get out of here! If you won't take responsibility, don't even think about driving me away!" Just as Miko was about to step further in, an invisible force suddenly sent her flying out, and if Kaito hadn't caught her from behind, she might really have been flung quite far.
"Are you all right, Miko?"
Kaito's concerned voice sounded from behind.
"I'm fine, I'm fine." Shaking her head, Miko extricated herself from Kaito's embrace.
She had to admit, that force just now was a bit frightening; Miko had gotten a real scare.
Is it really necessary to act this seriously...
It's not like I'm Kaito...
Casting her gaze toward the room again, Miko thought this, somewhat at a loss for words.
"Kai, let's go in together and beat her up."
Miko: "???"
Staring at Wendy in astonishment, Miko rather wanted to hit her.
After all, in a situation like this, what ordinary person would be thinking of going in to beat someone up?
Of course, Wendy really wasn't an ordinary person.
"Stop causing trouble, Wendy."
After leaving these words, Kaito walked up to the doorway, knocked, and then said: "Mobius, why don't you put your clothes on and come out first, all right?"
So she really wasn't wearing any clothes...
Could she have drawn her inspiration from that method I taught her earlier?
Suddenly hearing that Mobius was undressed in the room, Miko immediately thought this.
