Chapter 374 - We need to learn more (1/2)

Whenever anybody told her these words it would remind her of the past. How many people told her not to worry and yet in the end of the day something bad happens? ”I read about that case Yang. I already know, your guardian injured you, correct?”

At that comment Yang looked away. ”Why did you bother investigating something like that?” His arms slip down her waist. ”Setsura.”

Setsura bit her lip once she sensed his tone, she cannot allow him to get distracted again. This time around they will talk. But when she recalled what happened in the cafe earlier, Setsura paused. Was he truly listening to her? It was hard to say.

”So what do you think? Am I wrong or…”

Despite him asking her this, Setsura noticed that he was paying more attention to her legs than anything. She was still half clothed, so his fingers brushed against her bare legs.

”Are you on my side?”

Again this is a question somebody has asked her before.

But who? Who asked her this?

For some reason she could not say yes to him.

.........….

When she finds him, Chauncey Lang is sat down in one of the empty office spaces in the room downstairs. Since they decided to move to this larger apartment owned by Yangs family, she does not see Chauncey as often as before.

”What are you reading so intently?”

Chauncey almost jumped out of his seat. ”Oh its you.”

Setsura rolled her eyes at his comment. ”Of course it is me. So what are you---” Her sentence fell short when she saw the articles on the table. In this society everything is modernized so paper articles are rare. There were several articles but all of them had something to do with a mysterious woman with short pink hair. ”A guardian?”

Chauncey nodded. ”You think so too?”

”I know this may sound superficial but take a look at her outfit.” She pointed to the ruby red amulet in the center. ”Do you think anybody would walk around wearing such an expensive looking jewel?”

”I don't know much about female clothes, but I do see where your coming from. Her atire is strange and the pink hair. The people living in this time do not have such extravagant colours.”

Her sweat fell at his words. That is what he has learned based on his observation?

”This guardian is most-likely Yangs.” Chauncey commented.

Her eyes widened when she heard those words. ”Yang..”

”Katakura is assigned to you, and even that man named Oslo lurks around you. Natasha has somebody watching over her, though I have not met that person yet. I do know it is a guy. That leaves this girl.”

Huh? Natasha has somebody watching over too? Is she also a person who time travelled?

”So anyhow.” Chauncey nodded. ”Your best option is to ask him.”

Her best option huh? She recalled what happened earlier and sighed. There is no way Yang will tell her anything even if she wants to. But she could give it a try, it won't do any harm. Besides with the current situation. She tapped her finger against the table.

”Dont you think we have overstayed here?”

Chauncey paused but he nodded. ”Indeed, I think we should go back. You already have an idea what is happening back there I am sure?”
