章 1515: Dodged a Bullet

“I think this is bad news for us, Ruki. Look…”

As we were in the middle of eating our lunch in a family restaurant near the Akimitsu Hills, Juri put down her chopsticks and put her phone in front of my face.

It was just buzzing from vibrations a minute earlier from Setsuna-nee’s phone call that she didn’t pick up. Perhaps she couldn’t wait to hear from us, that troublesome Satsuki-lookalike had sent a message instead.

As I read through what could be seen on the preview from her phone’s notifications, it said… “Where are you two? I’m waiting for you…”

Although it’s incomplete, it wasn’t hard to infer the whole content of it.

“Yeah… If she’s joining us. It’s definitely bad news. What do you think about calling her back and telling her where we are before she speculates why you missed that one call.” I suggested but knowing that woman… it wouldn’t be wrong to assume that she’d be nagging at me even if Juri and I didn’t cross that line.
