Once the business stuff was all finished, Monika read Sara the riot act.

“Okay, seriously, what the hell were you thinking? What kind of imbecile takes an idea they just cooked up and does their test run in a live battle? I’d expect that from Lily, sure, but you? And plus, Rearing × Decoy… No. That gets thirteen out of a hundred. Your spot isn’t on the front lines, remember? I don’t ever want to see you pull a stunt like that again. For now, no working solo until you can at least complete that assignment I gave you.”

She was laying on the criticism thick, and Sara had no rebuttal to any of it. It was hard to blame Monika for being mad after what Sara had done.

However, the taste of satisfaction still lingered in Sara’s mouth.

She felt like she’d improved a bit. She still had a long way to go, but she was making forward progress. Monika’s voice was a fair bit gentler than usual, and that was all the proof she needed.

In the end, the sun had already started setting by the time Monika released her. Sara was curious as to how the mission had gone, and her pets needed a walk anyway, so she headed over to the Lamplight base.

The villa sat atop a small hill on Longchon Island, and Sara was sweating profusely under the sunlight as she ascended the hill’s precipitous slope. The higher she got, the better the view became. Just beyond the age-worn aluminum fence, she could see the rows of buildings lining the harbor as well as Longchon’s turquoise sea.

Halfway up the hill, she discovered a small table. There was a fortune teller sitting at it with a sign that read CRYSTAL DIVINATION.

Isn’t that what I saw this afternoon? Sara thought, thoroughly disquieted. She took another look at the fortune teller.

It was Erna.

“Reirin has my respect.”

Sara froze. “Whaaaat…?”

For whatever reason, Erna was wearing a Ryukese-style cheongsam dress. Its fabric was bright pink, and she’d altered its hem to be adorned with frills. She was also going for some sort of tiger motif, as there was a pair of yellow ears on her head and a yellow-and-black-striped tail extending out from her backside.

She held up a crystal ball. “I’m going to become the best fortune teller in all of Longchon. When my targets come to visit me, I’ll tell them that good fortune can be found on a train platform. Then when they arrive at the platform I tell them about, I’ll deviously push them onto the tracks. It’ll be the birth of Erna, the assassination specialist feared the world over.”

“…………………………………”

Sara had no clue what to say to that.

“………”

“………”

“………”

“………”

Erna took her tiger ears and hurled them against the ground. “I can’t keep doing thiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiis!”

“She’s gotten even more lost than before!”

Erna’s face was bright red, and she began lashing out. It was plain to see how embarrassed she was. She crouched down and began rolling around on the ground, not caring how dirty she was getting.
