Hat Guy's words made Sandrone frown.
The scholar from Sumeru seemed vaguely familiar to Sandrone, and for some inexplicable reason, she found him a little irritating.
He also knew a great deal about her and Arlecchino, which was very strange.
The Fatui Harbingers had always been a law unto themselves, and outsiders feared them like the plague. Very few people could get to know even one Harbinger.
For Hat Guy to know two of them was something only another Harbinger could manage.
So Sandrone was on her guard around him, especially since the current Harbinger rankings clearly had something wrong with them.
The Sixth Seat had been vacant for a long time, and even she didn't know why. It was as if the Sixth Seat had been empty ever since the Fatui were founded.
Sandrone had noticed the problem, but she wasn't about to say anything. If it was part of Her Majesty's grand plan, asking about it on a whim would only cause trouble.
So when Hat Guy claimed he was willing to entrust his life to her, Sandrone asked in surprise,
"What did you say?! You have a way? Your life can be exchanged for processing power?"
Seeing that Sandrone had awakened a new power but still had the same personality as before, Hat Guy replied with a hint of mockery,
"You really are easy to startle. Why are you always like this?"
Sandrone saw that he was speaking to her as if they were old acquaintances again. Deciding to deliberately let her temper show and test him, she put her hands on her hips and snapped,
"What do you mean, 'always like this'? Are we close? Mind your manners and don't go judging strangers."
Hat Guy wasn't Scaramouche anymore, and he wasn't so easy to bait into
