Even after purchasing the revealing dresses, Wataru didn't immediately leave the meeting room. William, assuming the transaction was over, briefly displayed a surprised expression, which he quickly masked with a welcoming smile. Years of dealing with all kinds of customers had given him the experience to recognize when someone wasn't quite finished.
Behind him, Marielle and Air were still looking at their new dresses, giggling in disbelief over how little fabric they consisted of.
"Actually, I didn't come here just for shopping today," Wataru started.
"Oh? And what else brings you here today?"
"There are two things. The first one is this," Wataru said, handing over a piece of paper.
William examined it carefully. "Hmm… these appear to be some sort of symbols or patterns. What are they?"
"That's what I'm trying to find out. I'm unsure whether these are just patterns or actual text."
