"Oh? What could it be that you want to discuss with me?"
Ash asked with innocence dripping from his every word. "I hope all is well."
"It is." Raven Nightshade added. "I'm just interviewing people who were close to the murder suspect… or rather, convict."
'Convict, huh? So they're already sure she's the one who did it…'
Ash smiled to himself.
This was good. It meant he made everything convincing enough that even Raven Nightshade did not doubt that Elma was the killer—or maybe he did doubt and was merely putting up a false front.
'Either way, it seems Elma is damned.' He sighed. 'So why hasn't she been killed yet?'
Due to the effects of the Soul Contract he made with her, he could tell that she was alive. After all, if she was dead, their Contract would be terminated and he would be able to act beyond the confines of their agreement.
However, given that those limitations were still present, it meant Elma was still alive.
