To test her suspicion about who was from the same physical realm and to gather more info about her origin, Chiaki came to the next Council meeting prepared.
She had a list of harmless questions she could ask the elders without arousing suspicion. The answers to the questions could probably bring her one step closer to the truth.
First target: Elder A, working on a project with the capital city's mayor on drainage plumbing. He would totally not suspect Chiaki's question.
"Morning, Elder. May I ask if you have five minutes?" Chiaki asked, interrupting the elder's walk on the corridor towards the library of the Council hall.
She had a flash recollection of whether she had returned the dakon board properly. She did, phew.
"We can talk now. Anything I can help the South Guardian with?" he asked.
"Hm, nothing difficult, nothing difficult," she waved her hand and curled up her lips to form a sincere and welcoming smile.
