88 ARE YOU F****** KIDDING ME? (2/2)

Since when did Mio become the 16th strongest swordsman in the world...?

It seems that we will need to have some serious talk after this...

While I was still thinking of how I should extort information from Mio, Mr Richardson interrupted my train of thought by calling my name.

”Uh... You there, Yuuji-kun?”

”Ah... yes...”

”So...”

”I'm back to my senses already. Please continue, Mr Richardson.”

Regaining my composure, I straigtened up my back and looked at him straight in the eyes.

”Heh, you've got some spirit in you, boy!”

”Of course!”

With full confidence, I answered him back in a challenging tone of voice.

”Well... You'll definitely lose this game, kid!”

”*Gulp*”

Awaiting what game he will choose, I unconsciously gulped.

”It's chess!”

”Huh?”

Isn't this... a little too simple?

”Nee, Mio. How did you know Yuuji is in Korat anyway?”

”Fufufu~ I just 'persuaded' Charlotte to tell me their current location, that's all.”

”NIce work, Mio!”

”Thank you, Nee-sama!”

Compared to a few months ago, their relationship right now is as close as it could be. From an outsider's perspective, they really look like a genuine pair of sisters!

”So... where are they right now, Mio?”

”Let me see... They're currently staying in a house near the local winery, Nee-sama.”

”How far is it from here?”

”We should be able to reach there before midnight if we hurry.”

”Let's go then, Mio!”

”Un!”

They both grabbed a taxi nearby and went straight to the place where Yuuji is...

”Fufufu... Yuuji... If you did something to Charlotte... I will definitely kill you and die after you... Fufufufu...”

Although the taxi driver does not understand what the older sister just said, a frozen chill ran down his spine...
