When the last ray of sunlight sank over Ban City that day, Eizuka stepped into the main cabin on the yacht's living deck. Warm lighting cast a soft glow over the cabin's traditional Japanese décor. The beauty seated properly on her knees, the gentle, soft-spoken greeting—it almost made her think that, the next moment, the bedroom's paper-screen partition would slide open and "Mister Mo" would emerge to continue their discussion.
But in the end, the only one receiving her was the kimono-clad beauty in the room.
Snake Tongue had remained in Ban City as Ronan's Spokesperson.
So even though she had businesses of her own, she spent most of her time aboard this yacht purchased by the Blood Flame Order. It occasionally cruised North Mountain Lake, but for the most part, it remained docked at the harbor within Ping Trade Market.
There should have been plenty of people in Ban City who found this yacht unpleasant to look at.
But their "displeasure" stemmed from the emotions they believed their benefactors "should possibly have."
At this stage, the two most important figures had shown no reaction whatsoever. Without that foundation, everyone else's emotions could only leave them living awkward, embarrassing lives amid suspicion and uncertainty.
Under such circumstances, the yacht in the harbor had practically been forgotten by the city.
The person who boarded the yacht most often was probably the Old Hand from Ping Trade Market, who had to deliver goods on a regular basis.
As for Eizuka, someone closely connected to the Old Hand and highly suspected of having other identities, she was one of Snake Tongue's primary observation targets.
Yet this lady spent most of her time in the laboratory, keeping her distance from everyone. She truly rarely showed herself.
No matter what, Snake Tongue remembered her identity.
