章 1473: First Stop

“Excuse me, I’m here for another Club Inspection.”

For the third time, that’s the line I used when my feet brought me before the Alchemy Research Club. Since it was on my way, I couldn’t help but pay a visit to my ‘favorite senior’.

It hadn’t been that long since my last visit to this club. The last time was this Monday when I collected compensation from Enomoto for his involvement in last week’s incident. I got the information regarding the mastermind behind the plot of using me to create a rift between Marika and Ichihara.

Although I somehow delivered that mastermind’s desired result, I’d argue that everything was my personal choice. Or… if looked at from another angle, Marika successfully dragged me in by herself.

In the end, I decided to intervene and not let that pitiful golden ringlet girl suffer more at the hands of other people. It’s enough that her family used her as a bargaining chip. I'd crush that Takashima and Tanaka if they ever used her again.
