Mrs. Kiyono laughed and rose from her seat, no longer pretending to be asleep.
"Lin," she said, kneeling elegantly and seductively on the back of the sofa, asking the Literary Girl by the floor-to-ceiling window, "Is what Mr. Dubian said true? Does he really think that way?"
"If he dares to be smug, I would have taught him a lesson already," Kiyono Lin said without looking up.
"Oh—, so he's just a coward," Mrs. Jiutiao realized suddenly.
"...Scared of the two of them? It's about respect."
Dubian Che completely ignored the two ladies as he took a grape, peeled off the skin, revealing its plump green flesh, and brought it to Jiutiao Meijie's lips.
Jiutiao Meijie didn't open her mouth and gave him a sideways glance.
"I'm asking for permission to go to the station tonight to pick up a classmate," Dubian Che said.
"A classmate?"
"The classmate isn't important, what's important is that Mayi Asuka is with them. I'll send them to the hotel and come right back!"
