Within the Tashiro Family mansion, Tashiro Nanaori and Qingdai were both dressed in very traditional, plain-colored kimonos, kneeling in a dim partitioned space, waiting for the summoning of Nanao's great-great-grandfather.
"I never expected you to fumble as well," because they were the only two people in the room, Tashiro Nanaori couldn't resist glancing at her nominal older cousin and couldn't help but make a mocking comment.
However, Qingdai remained unflustered, and after looking at Tashiro Nanaori, she shook her head slightly, unperturbed as she said, "Success or failure isn't something I can achieve just by wishing for it, Professor Chen Yu's lack of cooperation isn't something my efforts alone can accomplish."
"Is that so? I feel like you're not taking this matter to heart at all," Tashiro Nanaori said with a sneer on her face after hearing Qingdai's words.
