Minamoto Tamako sat across from the four people, just having served tea, and played host. She noticed Fushimi Roku peeking in and hurriedly waved at him, saying, "You're back just in time. Chief Kikuchi is here to see us for some reason."
As she spoke, she secretly gave Fushimi Roku a wink, forcefully blinking her right eye.
Fushimi Roku couldn't understand what she meant. They were not yet adept enough to understand each other's thoughts with just a glance, especially since he hadn't fully grasped the subtleties of Minamoto Tamako's thoughts to this day.
There was no need to ask; it was obvious that these four were here because of Uesugi Shion. If Minamoto Tamako started talking recklessly, she might inadvertently give something away. He had no choice but to bite the bullet and enter the living room, sitting down beside Minamoto Tamako.
Kinosaki Shoujin cleared his throat and turned to the bodyguard next to him to ask, "Will you ask the questions, or should I?"
