"But there's still one more thing. If the plan goes smoothly, Ei probably won't be able to stay inside the Raiden Shogun's body anymore, right?"
Although celebrating prematurely is not advisable, imagining the future is still allowed.
And it seems Miko already has a plan...
"No problem. Ei gave me the manufacturing process for the Raiden Shogun as well. I just need to build her a new body."
Looking at Miko's mischievous smirk, Cid felt worried about his master Ei's future.
It was obvious at a glance that this fox, Miko, would definitely add some "extras" to his master Ei's body.
But whatever, this has little to do with him. It's a war between two good friends.
The main matters that needed to be discussed today have been covered, so it's about time to think about returning to the Kamisato residence...
Then the old uncle also glanced at Mizuki, who had been standing by as decoration for half the day.
Mizuki... although she's a great youkai, right now her approach to dealing with people and the world is still primarily in the stage of exploring her own emotions. While she does explore others' emotions to some extent, it's actually not enough yet.
He had promised her to help her devour Miko's nightmare. Since he promised, after the serious matters are done, he should do his best to help Mizuki out.
At present, in Miko's eyes, Mizuki should appear to have grown up. Although she probably still looks just matured and somewhat immature, it should be enough to crack open this fox's arrogant little shell.
But if Mizuki wants to get close enough to "pet" Miko, take a further step by eating the nightmare and then retreating a little to indicate she wants to use her techniques to help her relax, that should be no problem.
However, in his case, it probably wouldn't be good for him to be present on the scene. After all, interactions between people are better when they're more focused.
But at this moment, Miko took the initiative to speak first.
"Speaking of which, Lord Shura Anyakonsen-shou seems to really like small animals? I see my fellow clan members are being taken care of very well."
Mr. Cid had no guard up against the casual topic Miko was chatting about.
"Hm, I should say I really like cute creatures. Back when my state of mind was unstable, I got through it by petting their fur."
It couldn't be said that Mr. Cid had no wariness at all, but mainly because ever since Miko started talking about his master Ei's new body, that playful, delighted scent of hers hadn't dissipated.
"Then, Lord Shura Anyakonsen-shou... would you be interested in petting a pink little fox?"
Oh wow, although he knew she was probably teasing him, saying this still got him excited.
"Hm? I'm not interested. I'm a serious person."
Fortunately, Mr. Cid still had his reason and naturally couldn't be easily manipulated by Miko.
"Really?"
Miko looked a bit regretful, then imitated the way Cid had previously performed "After Yae Miko's Death, Her God Cried" for her.
"Think about it carefully~ That pink little fox is really very cute...
That pink little fox would curl up under a cherry blossom tree with falling petals, its fluffy body rolled into a ball like a cloud wisp, and covered with pieces of cherry blossom petals.
When you get closer, the wind would bring a slightly sweet scent of cherry blossom dango from the little fox's body.
And when you reach out your hand, the pink little fox would sniff your palm with its soft little nose...
Then it would rest its round head on your palm, letting you feel the cotton-candy-like softness of the little fox's fur...
When you squat down, this little fox would place its pink paw pads on your leg..."
