"It seems this slightly bigger little fox still needs to stay leashed; as for the small one, I'll let her go for now." Watching Miko's awkward state as she was yanked back by the chain, Kaito said this calmly.
And after he finished saying that, the chain at Lumine's neck appeared in his hand rather than being connected to the iron ring.
Originally, he had come down to release both Miko and Lumine—after all, he had already teased the two of them enough, so it was about time to set them free.
But since Miko now wanted to hit him, he would just keep her leashed.
?
Suddenly feeling herself being pulled over, Lumine was a bit dazed at first, but she quickly noticed that the chain extending from her neck was now in Kaito's hand.
Oh, right...
What did Kaito mean just now?
Looking at the chain in Kaito's hand, Lumine remembered that he seemed to have said something a moment ago.
No more joking around with us?
It seemed to be that...
Hm?
So just now Kaito was only tricking us?
After thinking it over, Lumine understood what was going on.
And just as Lumine came to that realization, Miko was inwardly begging for mercy.
"Kaito, let me go please, I was only joking just now, don't take it seriously."
At the thought of being left here all alone in a moment, Miko hurriedly admitted her fault and pleaded for mercy.
Even though the two of them would just be staring blankly at each other here, at least there would be two people.
Wait...
What did this guy Kaito say a moment ago?
At this point Miko also came to her senses, though she truly couldn't recall clearly—or perhaps she simply hadn't heard it properly.
But no matter what, for now she'd better apologize first.
"Aiya, Kaito, if Ei asks later where I've gone, surely you'd find it hard to answer too, right? So let me go first, Big Brother Kaito~" By the end, Miko even brought out the title 'Big Brother Kaito.'
"But I've made a puppet of you, and even Ei won't be able to tell the difference."
Noticing that Miko still didn't seem to realize what she had just done, Kaito told her about the puppet in his usual calm tone.
Huh?
My puppet?
It has to be said, Miko was stunned.
What was this situation?
Could it be that...
Having been dumbfounded at first, Miko finally understood what had just happened.
"You bastard, so it was you who pulled this trick!"
At the thought of having just been scared half to death, Miko couldn't help but curse at Kaito.
And after she finished cursing, she saw a person who looked exactly like herself appear beside Kaito.
And not just her—Lumine had now also appeared beside Kaito.
What was this situation?
This guy Kaito could even make puppets?
"You little fox can just continue your confinement here for now. For the next while, this puppet will temporarily take your place."
While Miko was still astonished, Kaito said something that made her feel utterly despairing.
At this, Miko hurriedly continued apologizing.
"No, please, Kaito, it's so boring, there's nothing to do, I really was in the wrong just now."
"It is indeed a bit boring, so I'll give you the option of going out, but I won't take this thing off you." After thinking about it and feeling that it really was rather dull, Kaito offered Miko a second choice.
"Huh? This..."
Faced with the choice Kaito had given, Miko hesitated—after all, her current appearance was quite embarrassing. And yet it was also quite thrilling, since no one would know that this little fox was the Lady Guuji of Inazuma.
"Sigh, can't we just make peace?"
"No, we can't!"
