After Abner asked him to find a Savant potion formula for his sister, Klein had entrusted the task to Miss Temperance and Miss Magician in The World's name.
Sharron had told him yesterday that she had obtained the formula. But Klein had been caught up in the crisis at Bansy Harbor and had found no time to notify Miss Magician...
That left Mr. Fool feeling rather awkward.
What should I do? Have The World tell Miss Magician now that he no longer needs the Savant formula?
But then Miss Magician will ask for something else... If she asks for something The Fool can't provide, I'll be worse off...
Well, it's just a formula in exchange for a formula. It won't cost me anything, so I might as well accept it... Sharron will definitely wonder why I bought a second copy of the same formula, though...
I can explain that too. I'll say I'd already made a contract and couldn't back out.
As his thoughts raced, Klein conjured a sheet of parchment bearing the formula and sent it to Miss Magician.
Fors stood to thank Mr. Fool, then sat down again to memorize the formula.
Klein, meanwhile, had The World give Miss Temperance, who happened to be looking his way, a glance that said they would talk later. He then brought the twelve diary pages submitted by Justice, Magician, and Moon, along with the Ancient God legends offered by Sun, before him.
Setting Moon's pages aside, he quickly skimmed the other six and found that two were duplicates he had seen before.
*As I collect more and more diary pages, duplicates are inevitable... Unless I actually teach the Tarot Club members Chinese and show them every page I have... But then Roselle would die of embarrassment, and any mystique I have
