"Is it necessary, to fabricate a lie that will eventually be exposed?" Asou Haruka paused, looked back at her with a mocking expression, and repeated word for word.
Emerald Sparrow was speechless.
"...So you took this big round just to tell me this?"
After a while, she opened her mouth somewhat helplessly, "You had guessed that I would ask this question?"
"Who knows, maybe it was just a whim of mine, wanting to share some of my experiences over the years with you."
Asou Haruka said ambiguously, "After all, telling you this story wasn't really to express anything. It just seemed appropriate to tell it now. You can also just treat it as a story, no need to delve too deep."
"That's really not a pleasant story." Emerald Sparrow sighed.
"That really is too bad." Asou Haruka said with a grin, clearly without any regrets.
