The Mysterious Origins of the Historical Ring

In this moment, Marie could barely contain her curiosity. She took a deep breath and asked Hino, "How much did you buy this and where?"

Hino answered straightforwardly, "I bought it from an internet friend in Florida. It costs a hundred thousand, two hundred and twenty-eight yen, equal to seven hundred and seventy-five dollars."

Marie and the couple were both shocked and amused when they discovered the true value of the ring. They never imagined that the wedding ring would be so valuable, and Marie couldn't help but laugh as she considered how her "broke" friend managed to afford such a ring.

Hino said to Marie with a determined and reassuring tone, "Listen, I bought this for Shizuru after selling my research, alright?" This statement made Marie realize that Hino had good intentions in buying the ring. She understood that he had bought it for Shizuru and that he had put thought and care into his decision to do so.

The revelation gave Marie a deeper insight into Hino's character and it made her appreciate him even more. It also made her more willing to listen to him and trust his judgment when it came to the meaning behind the ring.

As Marie examined the ring using her loupe, she looked for any subtle markings or engravings that might indicate the date of creation or ownership of the ring. With her magnifying lens, she was able to observe the smallest details and patterns on the ring.

This close examination could help Marie uncover the truth behind her wedding ring and the reason behind its value to the organization.

Marie exclaimed to the couple, "It's from the 18th century, probably it has a lot of history behind it and that's the reason they are looking for it, because of the history surrounding it."

This revelation intrigued the couple and they were surprised that the ring had so much history behind it and that they were not the only ones searching for it.

They were eager to learn more about the history behind the ring and how it could have become valuable to the organization. Marie's insight was crucial and the couple appreciated her help in solving the mystery.

Shizuru felt worried about what they should do with the wedding ring now. She wanted to keep it, but the thought of giving it back to the organization upset her.

"What should we do now? Should we take it to a museum? I don't want to just give it away, Hino," she said. Hino reassured her by holding her both hands.

"No, Shizuru, we won't! This ring is ours, not theirs! They would just use it to make money. Let's just keep it safe, alright?"

Hino's eyes widened with shock as he received the notification that his friends from online had found Katelyn's Instagram account. However, it was not Katelyn's own account but her cousin's. This new development made him feel confused and concerned.

Hino had hoped to find Katelyn and uncover the significance of the historical ring. But now, he was forced to confront the question of whether to reach out to Katelyn's cousin and see if they knew anything about the ring or its relation to the organization. This new development added another layer of mystery and suspense to the story.

As Katelyn's cousin Gena handed over the phone to her, she was surprised to see Hino's face on the call. Katelyn began to feel confused as she saw Hino on her cousin's phone.

She didn't know who Hino was or why he was calling Gena. She found herself in a very unexpected situation and she didn't know what to do.

This new development added another level of tension and suspense to the situation, as Katelyn now had to consider talking to Hino and finding out why he was calling her cousin and what he wanted to know about the historical ring.

As Hino speaks to Katelyn, she listens intently and is amused by their unusual situation.

Hino asks her, "Listen, Katelyn! I am Hino and my internet name is Angelo. You sold me a historical ring! Now the secret organization is up to it! Where did you get the ring?"Katelyn looks like she's listening but it doesn't seem like she's engaging him in the conversation. She appears to be half-laughing as if they were in an amusing situation.

Katelyn and Hino are on a phone call, Katelyn is dressed in casual clothes and is headed to her college. She appears distracted and in a rush. "Yo yo! listen up! I only sold that cuz I was broke and needed dough to pay my rent, aight?!"

As Katelyn speaks, she seems distracted and in a rush. Hino is trying to get information from her about the origins of the ring but it seems like he has to put in some effort to keep Katelyn focused on their conversation and question.

Hino felt disappointed by Katelyn's nonchalant attitude and her lack of consideration for the consequences of her actions.

Hino was hoping to find out more information about the organization and their search for the ring. But instead, Katelyn seemed to just want money and not care about the origin or significance of the ring. This made Hino feel frustrated and disappointed, and he wondered if there was anything else he could do to further his investigation.

Shizuru tried to argue with Hino, but he immediately cut her off and said, "Listen! No one will own the ring, not for museums or to auction, alright? If she had auctioned this in the past, I'm sure it's in the hands of the Secret Society and they're using it to make money."

This statement made Shizuru feel upset and frustrated. She didn't want to believe that the ring was being used for selfish and monetary reasons. She feared that its significance and meaning were being overlooked. She wanted to believe that the ring was still a valuable and important piece of history.

Hino's argument made Shizuru realize that she could not allow the ring to end up in the wrong hands. She was determined to protect the ring and keep it safe. Hino's words made her feel motivated to continue their investigation into the ring's origins and find out why the Secret Society was so desperate to find it.
