After Shizuka Hiou left, Luo Shu could not help rubbing his chin and asking Yukinoshita Yukino, who had listened to the entire conversation behind him:
"How much of what Shizuka Hiou said do you think was true?"
Yukinoshita Yukino froze at his question, seemingly never having expected Luo Shu to ask her that.
She hesitated for a moment, then said:
"About ninety percent, perhaps?"
At that, Yukino added:
"But I could be mistaken."
"You think ninety percent was true..." Understanding dawned on Luo Shu, and he shared his own thoughts. "I think ninety percent was true too, even though I don't believe a word she said."
"Why?" Yukinoshita Yukino was a little confused. If Luo Shu thought almost everything Shizuka Hiou said was true, why did he say he did not believe her?
"Because I don't trust her. Not in the slightest. At least, not right now."
After saying that, Luo Shu spoke with a smile at the corners of his eyes but utter seriousness in his voice:
"Honestly, until we sign a formal contract, I won't believe a single word Shizuka Hiou says."
He had some recollection of Shizuka Hiou. She seemed to have been a tragic character tormented by the main villain in an anime he had watched in his previous life.
But the problem was that the world's overall circumstances had changed!
An ordinary girl like Yukinoshita Yukino, who had no involvement with the supernatural world, was one thing. But for someone born into a supernatural setting, changing worlds might well be equivalent to changing her characterization, completely altering everything.
Perhaps Shizuka Hiou had been a tragic victim in her original world, but what if she had become the perpetrator in another world?
If the world's circumstances and her experiences had changed, wouldn't she change too?
