Chapter 317: First-Rate and Super First-Rate (2/2)

“Orikawa Maho.”

“Eh?”

“I didn’t think…that I’d meet her today of all days.”

“Really, what be the issue?”

“Sorry, but can you get off for a moment, Kohaku-san?”

Taiyou said, letting down Kohaku and taking out his phone. He brought up Youran’s number from the address book. After the dial tone rang once, she picked up.

“Hello? What is the matter, my master?”

“Youran, today I met with Orikawa Maho.”

“Say what?”

Youran sounded puzzled, as expected.

“Orikawa Maho. She’s the chairwoman of that FOT.”

“Yeah, I think I introduced you at that party.”

“Right, and she came to where I was.”

“And what about that?”

“You’ve got to know what happened today. I bet you anticipated her coming, yeah?”

“Well yeah…Oh but I get it, you don’t know yet, do you Master?”

“I sure don’t.”

With his phone pressed to his ears, Taiyou indicated with a snap of his fingers that he knew squat.

“Orikawa Maho is from one of the founding families of this Oritachi Town. You knew about this, which is why you figured she would come over. But one thing you couldn’t anticipate was the event of me not knowing.”

“And what of it?”

“What did you say that one time?”

“That one time?”

“That conversation about the first-rate and the super first-rate?”

“Ah…”

Youran was taken aback on the other side of the line, remembering what she had said.

“So?”

“Master.”

On the other side of the line, she calmly spoke.
