The Marshal Is Coming? Hua Yi, Hurry Up!

She was prepared to lay her cards on the table. If Kafka had ulterior motives, held Hua Yi back, or spoke in riddles and kept Stelle, March 7th, and the others from enjoying themselves in peace—

"Navigator, these are the Coffee Beans I prepared for you—a specialty variety from distant Stars. Please accept them~"

"What are you plotting?"

As long as Hua Yi had no intention of sharing his secrets, Kafka would not investigate
