Exchange

Once everyone had noted down some of the correspondences between the numbers and dates, Klein nodded gently to Miss Justice, signaling that she could speak.

"Mr. Fool... Like Mr. Tower, I've found two ladies who would be suitable for the Tarot Club. They're both Beyonders with their own circles and resources in Backlund. They can keep secrets, and they have good character. Would you be willing to let them join our gatherings?" Audrey considered her words for a few seconds. Resisting the urge to bring up Qilingus at once, she asked the question she had long wanted to ask.

After seeing Mr. Tower successfully bring a friend into the gathering, she couldn't help wanting to do the same.

Xio gave Justice Audrey an odd look. That description... She can't mean Fors and me, can she?

Even if Abner hadn't maneuvered me into joining earlier, Miss Audrey would have arranged it anyway?

Derrick, the Sun, was interested too. He turned toward Mr. Fool and waited for his answer.

Alger, the Hanged Man, sighed inwardly. He had no suitable candidate to recommend.

Why does everyone want to bring people into the Tarot Club? There's no chance of that for me anytime soon... Miss Xio is a Sequence 7 Beyonder, and supporting her is already a heavy burden. I probably won't be able to bring in another member until I've digested more of the Clown Potion.

After grumbling to himself, Klein let out a soft chuckle and said,

"The standards remain the same. Quietly reveal my name to them first. After that, I'll give them a test."

As for what kind of test... I'll decide when I think of one.

"That's wonderful!" Relieved, Audrey began considering how to reveal Mr. Fool's Honorific Name to Xio and Fors. Then she looked across the table.
