Genshin Impact: One Soul in Two Bodies

Chapter 573 - 573: Miko Definitely Likes It

"Of course we did — and all three of us together, no less."Sensing that Wendy was genuinely curious, and reasoning that Kaito had almost certainly done that sort of thing with Wendy, Acheron, and Kiana before, Miko answered without any particular hesitation.

"And what exactly did you do?"

Wendy pressed further.

"Why, the same sort of thing as what you've done with your Acheron-sis and Kiana-sis, naturally." Miko's reply casually took it as given that Wendy, Acheron, and Kiana had already been through all of that together.

She did acknowledge, though, that Kaito might not necessarily have brought Wendy along when the others were involved — it was entirely possible he'd done those things with each of them separately. But that was all speculation on her part; she had no idea what the actual situation was.

Hm?

Listening from the side, Lumine blinked. She hadn't expected Miko to know about that too.

"What do you mean, the same as with Acheron-sis and Kiana-sis? What are you talking about?" Because something similar had only happened once — and she hadn't really understood much of it at the time — Wendy didn't feel that occasion was quite the same as this, being here in Liyue with Miko and Lumine. So she simply said she didn't know what Miko meant.

So that guy really is exactly what I thought...

Hearing Wendy's confused response, Miko felt fairly confident her guess had been right.

Wendy genuinely doesn't follow...

So she hasn't experienced that kind of thing with multiple people at once...

Just like Miko, Lumine arrived at the same conclusion.

"Never mind." Before Miko could even respond, Wendy spoke up again. "Actually, what I wanted to ask was — did you two... I mean, did anything fun happen in the process?"

She'd been coming across as contradictory — one moment acting like she knew nothing, the next like a seasoned veteran — so Wendy decided to just ask directly.

Fun things during that?

What kind of fun things?

Lumine genuinely couldn't quite parse what Wendy meant by that description.

"What fun things?" Same as Lumine, Miko was curious what Wendy meant — but unlike Lumine, she went ahead and asked outright.

"Just... fun things."

Wendy found herself at a sudden loss for how to describe it.

She'd always thought of it as a kind of special play — but if she put it that way, Miko and Lumine might not understand what she was referring to.

"Who knows what you mean by 'fun things'?" Miko said, looking a little exasperated, then turned toward Lumine. "Lumine, do you have any idea what this little girl is going on about?"

"No idea."

Lumine quickly shook her head.

She truly had no idea — and she was genuinely curious.

Fine...

I'll just use the ball as an example.

Seeing that neither of them understood, Wendy decided to bring up the ball to illustrate.

"You know — like a ball. The kind you put in your mouth, so you can't speak."

Under both their gazes, Wendy said it slowly and clearly.

Miko: "!"

She had to admit, the moment she heard Wendy's description, something lurched inside her.

She couldn't help it — she'd been worried that her particular taste in such things might reach Wendy's ears, and if it did, this little girl would absolutely never let her live it down.

Then again, if Wendy happened to like that sort of thing too, perhaps they could swap notes — though knowing Wendy, she'd probably just mock her rather than have any kind of serious exchange. Even if they both used such things, Wendy was still just a little girl, and she herself was decidedly not — there was still a layer of embarrassment to it.

After all, even the not-so-long-ago session with Lumine and Kaito — she hadn't let on for even a moment that she had a fondness for that kind of thing.

Why? Because she simply hadn't wanted to be seen like that in front of Lumine.

A ball you put in your mouth?

What on earth is that?

Wendy's strange description had piqued Lumine's curiosity considerably. She really wanted to know what this ball was — and why anyone would put it in their mouth.

"What is that? Is it something you eat?"

Bursting with curiosity, Lumine asked outright.

And the moment she did, Miko finally confirmed something with certainty.

So Lumine really hasn't used one of those before...

Miko glanced at Lumine and thought as much to herself.

She'd been wondering for some time whether Lumine knew about such things — and now she finally had her answer.

If Lumine had used one before, perhaps they could have tried it together. But it was plain as day that Lumine had no idea such a thing even existed — which meant she certainly wouldn't be using one in front of her. Otherwise she'd be the only one sitting there unable to speak, and that would just be awkward.

But what about Wendy? Had this little girl actually used one before?

Or did she merely know of its existence?

Since Wendy had only described the item without mentioning whether she'd personally used it, Miko couldn't be sure either way.

"It's this," Wendy said — and from somewhere on her person she produced a small ball covered in little holes, with a leather strap attached.

Lumine: "???"

Taking one look at what Wendy was holding, Lumine finally understood what it was.

She had to admit — it hadn't crossed her mind at all until just now.

"This thing..."

"Lumine, want to try it?" Before Lumine could even finish her sentence, Wendy had already reached her hand out toward her.

"N-no, thanks."

Having not expected Wendy to suggest she actually use it right here and now, Lumine hurriedly shook her head.

While the two of them went back and forth, Miko stood to the side, thoroughly astonished.

This little girl...

She actually carries that thing around with her...

She must use it all the time, mustn't she?

Staring at the object in Wendy's hand, Miko was quite convinced of it.

Wait...

Judging by Lumine's reaction, she definitely knows what that thing is.

Miko shifted her gaze to Lumine. The way Lumine was behaving right now made it obvious she recognized exactly what Wendy was holding.

After all, Lumine's expression was one of embarrassed awkwardness — not bewilderment. That said everything.

"Come on, little one — give us a demonstration," Miko said with a smile, directing this at Wendy.

"I am absolutely not using it in front of you."

Wendy shot the smiling Miko a look and refused outright. Then she continued: "Though there is something else — something similar to this — that would suit Miko much better. I'm sure Miko would love it."

Hm?

Something else similar to that?

I'd love it?

Miko couldn't help but be intrigued by Wendy's description.

She asked: "And what would that be? Take it out and let's see — and why would I definitely love it?"
