It seems…
I was right…
Or in other words…
She at least knows Miss Wendy's identity…
Stopping and looking at Kiana's back, Ningguang's mind raced with thoughts.
Then, she opened her mouth to say, "Apologies, I was…"
"It's alright, Miss Ningguang. I was just giving you the answer to the question you wanted to ask," she said.
Before Ningguang could finish, Kiana had already turned around and cut her off.
She knew that Ningguang had just been probing her to see if she was aware of Wendy's identity.
So, she chose to answer directly.
"Then… thank you, Miss Kiana."
Meeting Kiana's gaze, Ningguang slowly expressed her gratitude.
Honestly, she hadn't expected Kiana to be so direct.
However, she quite liked this approach.
"Just call me by my name. I'll call you by yours, too. This 'Miss' this and 'Miss' that is too strange."
Not continuing the previous topic, Kiana changed the subject directly to how they should address each other.
It wasn't that she didn't want to discuss Wendy's situation further, but she found the constant use of 'Miss' a bit odd, so she simply suggested they call each other by name, without any 'Miss' attached.
"It is a bit strange, isn't it? Kiana, I'll call you that from now on."
With a smile, Ningguang naturally agreed to Kiana's proposal.
Since she knows Wendy's identity…
Then what is her identity?
After resolving one doubt in her mind, Ningguang grew curious about the answer to another question.
She felt that Kiana was anything but simple.
But asking such a question might be a bit abrupt, yet she was very eager to know.
"Miss Kiana… ah, no, Kiana, may I ask you one more question?"
After thinking it over and over, Ningguang decided to ask.
Although she could build a better rapport before asking, she felt that now was also a good opportunity.
After all, they had just touched upon Wendy's identity, so discussing Kiana's identity would be like striking while the iron is hot.
"What question?"
Just as she was about to turn and lead the way again, Kiana turned back to look at Ningguang.
"Are you… also a god, just like Miss Wendy?"
As if hesitating for a moment, Ningguang slowly asked the question she wanted to know.
She knew it would be difficult to get an answer, but she still wanted to try.
"No." To Ningguang's question, Kiana's answer was quick and decisive.
She's not…
It had to be said, this answer was somewhat unexpected for Ningguang.
Although she would have been equally surprised if Kiana had said yes, she still felt there was something very different about Kiana, something that resembled a god.
And just as Ningguang was pondering this, Kiana spoke again. "Though she can't beat me, I'm not a god."
Huh?
Miss Wendy…
Can't beat Kiana???
A look of surprise appeared on her face as Ningguang stared at Kiana, as if trying to see something.
Could it be that Miss Wendy is too weak…
Thinking about it, Ningguang couldn't help but make such a guess.
However, she also knew she couldn't press the matter any further.
After all, the fact that Kiana had answered this much was already giving her a lot of face. To continue asking would be impolite.
Besides, being a god didn't mean being invincible; there were other beings capable of defeating them.
But even so, Kaito, who had two such girls by his side, was still incredibly remarkable.
After all, for him to have captured the hearts of two such girls, he must clearly have something extraordinary about him.
Could it be…
The one Rex Lapis invited was actually him…
At this moment, Ningguang began to speculate once more.
Did Miss Wendy, the Anemo Archon, and Kiana just come along with him?
But if that's the case…
Then what is Kaito's identity?
A god?
Although she had learned some things, she still knew nothing about Kaito.
In fact, she was now even more curious.
"I understand." Nodding, Ningguang's words indicated that she would not continue to ask.
With some questions and thoughts in her mind, Ningguang continued to follow behind Kiana.
Since she couldn't ask now, she would find another opportunity later.
As long as Kaito and his group were here, she would still have a chance.
Chihu Rock.
Finally done…
But Ningguang surprisingly didn't ask me to eat out again…
After packing up the food, Kaito, Lumine, and Paimon each carried things as they headed back.
But on the way, Kaito began to wonder about Ningguang's thoughts again.
And he still felt that taking out food to treat Ningguang back at their place was a bit strange.
Originally, he had come out to get takeout because he saw Lumine was a bit tired.
Then Ningguang suddenly showed up and even stayed to eat with them.
But since she didn't find it strange, then there was no need for him to feel it was strange either, especially since he had intended to do this from the start.
"Speaking of which, I wonder if Wendy is back yet."
Walking back, Lumine suddenly asked this.
She felt that if Wendy came back and had to eat by herself, she would be a bit lonely.
"She should be back, right? If not, she will be soon."
Actually, Wendy was already close to where they were, but Kaito still answered this way.
And just as his words fell, Wendy's voice rang out.
"Who's coming back soon? It's not me, is it?"
Upon hearing the voice, Lumine immediately looked around and saw Wendy, who was already holding things, walking forward beside them, while Kaito's hands were now empty.
Wh-When did…
Seeing all this, Lumine was extremely surprised. She hadn't felt at all when Kaito had handed the things to Wendy.
It seems Kaito is already used to this kind of thing…
But that's right…
He must be familiar with Wendy…
And he's probably familiar with every part of her…
