After hearing Angel's question, Dong Liz raised her hand without hesitation. "I know the answer to that!"
Angel frowned, about to say something, when Dong Liz turned toward the empty air beside her. "Sister, can I answer this question?"
Angel and Bauxia exchanged glances through the light screen. Neither said anything, merely watching Dong Liz perform her one-woman show in silence.
Several seconds later, Dong Liz smiled and turned to Angel. "Sister agreed... Can I answer now?"
Angel said, "...Yes."
Tilting her head, Dong Liz said smugly, "Because Sister told me that I could only choose Fingernail Granny or Lord Pat."
Angel said, "What's the reason? There has to be a reason for choosing Fingernail Granny or me, right?"
"The reason?" Dong Liz asked in confusion. "Sister said to find whoever she said to find. That's the reason."
"..." Angel rather wanted to slam the door and leave. How was that any different from not answering at all?
At this point, Bauxia chimed in. "I think what Wizard Pat means is not for you to answer, but for your sister to tell him why only Fingernail Granny or Wizard Pat can be chosen?"
Bauxia understood very well that she could not beat around the bush when speaking to Dong Liz. She had to plainly state the crux of the question, as well as whom she was asking. Otherwise, Dong Liz could ramble with her for an entire day.
"You're asking Sister... All right, then." Dong Liz slumped her shoulders and put on an appearance of withdrawing her mind, as though her spirit had drifted elsewhere.
She remained "checked out" for a full two minutes. In the end, Bauxia was the one to break the silence.
"Has your sister answered already?" Bauxia asked.
Dong Liz nodded. "She said it ages ago."
