Volume 6 Chapter 29-2 I Don't Intend to Fold the Rag
Ellie and Catherine, harmonizing their voices, said to Randy, "It's fine."
Surprised by the unexpected agreement from the two, Randy explained to Liz, the same as before, "You see..."
"Ellie was listening, right?"
With a sigh, Randy remarked, "I don't know. She was probably asleep," to which Ellie huffed, nodding in agreement as it made sense.
"Be it the kotatsu, the earlier contemplation, or this conversation... why can't you just study at the academy?"
"I want to know too," Randy scoffed at Catherine's exasperated expression.
"Well, that's fine. But, what about a different designer...? Do we have any leads?"
Catherine elegantly sipped her tea, but...
"Yeah. There's one. A certain Madame Valmoir..."
"BEEEEEEEEEEP!"
Randy's answer made Catherine accidentally spout her tea everywhere.
"That's disgusting."
"You're right."
With a furrowed brow, Randy and Ellie were met with Catherine, who, coughing, raised her hand.
"W-Wait... did I mishear something?"
Looking up, Catherine caught Randy's smirk, "Hey, you've got a runny nose."
"Shut it. That doesn't matter right now."
Sniffling as she said this, Catherine glared at Randy and asked, "So? What did you say?"
"What do you mean...? It's about Madame Valmoir."
Tilting his head, Randy watched as Catherine buried her face in her hands, groaning.
Randy and Ellie exchanged glances, their faces breaking into amused smiles in front of Catherine, who curled up, cradling her head, groaning in a low voice.
"What kind of emotions are those?"
"How would I know?"
Just as the two turned their gaze back to Catherine,
"AGH──"
Catherine lifted her face with a roar.
"You... no, you all really are just you."
Confused by the incomprehensible insult, Randy and Ellie exchanged blank looks, "Huh?"
"About Madame Valmoir..."
With her head buried in her hands, Catherine had Randy tilting his head, asking, "What's wrong? Do you know her?"
"Well, it's more like I know of her..."
Randy finally grasped that subtle expression.
Perhaps it was an important character appearing in the game.
"Could it be that they're the enemy?"
Catherine, shaking her head, replied to the timidly asked question from Randy, "Nope."
"She's a funky old lady who can make... the strongest gear for my Saint."
Catherine, glaring at Randy, let out a big sigh and continued.
"The strongest gear? An old lady designer?"
Randy frowned as Catherine explained that Madame could weave runes into clothing.
"Weaving runes into clothing, huh..."
"We can do it too."
At Ellie's words, Randy exclaimed, "Runes! That's it!" and pulled up his own shirt.
"W-wait, what are you doing all of a sudden?"
While Catherine covered her face, unable to hide her eyes, Randy finally remembered he was wearing a shirt embedded with the 'suppression' rune, saying, "No wonder my body feels heavy."
"That bastard Keith... I'm going to beat him up next time."
Randy grinned with a mischievous look, but Catherine gave her a disapproving gaze, saying, "You're such an idiot."
"Still, you guys are way too overpowered."
Catherine directed her sharp look at Ellie and Liz within her.
"Seriously, I'm glad I didn't have to continue opposing you two. Both the runes and Madame are truly FRag crushers."
Just as Catherine said with a distant look, if she thought she was still putting a lot of effort into the game now, it was likely that she was far behind again, let alone ahead.
"You really don't know the scenario, do you?"
"Do you know it?"
Randy snorted, and Catherine clutched her head again, saying, "This is so frustrating."
