Rescue

It was obvious that Chie Kisaragi wouldn't talk like that.

"Hello, Lady Suzune."

Fu Qian turned around and greeted Hayami Suzune, whom he'd met just that morning.

"But you should say, 'What a shame, our fortune-teller isn't working today.'"

"You have a point."

Hayami Suzune took a couple of steps closer, but still deliberately kept her distance from Fu Qian.

"I never would've guessed Mr. Dancy had such feminine interests."

"Maybe it's because I like women."

Fu Qian knew his image was beyond saving, so he casually added another layer of color to it.

From what he sensed, Hayami Suzune had come straight here. What were the odds of that? Most likely, she'd planted a lookout at his place and had been notified as soon as he went out.

Hayami Suzune was no match for him in a battle of words. It took just one round for her to grit her teeth in anger.

"Are you here to find Kanna Kisaragi?"

The next moment, Lady Suzune lowered her voice and demanded an answer.

"I'm also here to find Chie Kisaragi."

Fu Qian answered with complete honesty.

Of course, he'd come here to see how Kanna Kisaragi acted after returning, but her sister, Chie Kisaragi, was undoubtedly a keen observer. So he also intended to talk with the fortune-teller first.

"Is that so? Chie Kisaragi doesn't seem to be your type."

Hayami Suzune clearly didn't believe him.

"Don't worry."

Fu Qian let out a cold laugh beneath his mask.

"You're not my type either."

"...So they're not here. Where are you planning to go?"

After being provoked repeatedly, Hayami Suzune had actually calmed down.

After several encounters, she knew this guy would never do anything stupid. He was just deliberately trying to provoke her.

"Then I'll go where they are."
