Chapter 396

«I will leave you for a moment. Lady Elsa and I need to talk.» – Kyon got up, glaring at his sister.

«Couldn't you find a better assistant, my friend?» – Lindia mumbled.

Kyon took a few steps towards the door and saw that his wretched sister hadn't even budged! He repeated, emphasizing each word: «I said that… Lady Elsa and I… need to talk! Face to face!»

Elsa tch'ed and rolled her eyes but followed him out of the room.

«Are you trying to double-cross me?» – Kyon barked at her.

«I'm trying to solve the case. What's your problem? Isn't that why I am here?» – Elsa sounded hurt as if she was being wrongly accused.

«We had a deal! You help me with my investigation, and I solve ten "A" rank cases for you! I didn't ask you to throw a spanner in the works!»

«I am helping you. We didn't agree that I would indulge your every whim.» – Elsa retorted.
