"...Oh, isn't that Xiao Yi? I didn't expect you to come to me voluntarily."
The gentleman was seated at the desk in the room, his face still bearing a mysterious, faint smile.
"Since it's delivered, I should be leaving too, to help my mother. Goodbye, brother, and Mr. Gentleman..."
Tiya smiled, waving vigorously at them before turning and running off with her small feet.
"What a lovely child..." The gentleman sighed, then looked at Xiao Yi, still smiling, "There's a saying, one doesn't enter a temple without a cause. You must have come to me with a purpose other than just to chat and pass the time. So... what do you need from me?"
"Nothing much, just wanted to ask you a question." Xiao Yi said, closing the door and locking it.
"...Ah?" Seeing Xiao Yi's action, the gentleman's smile faded, replaced by a tinge of panic, "If you have something to ask, why not just ask directly, why lock the door? What... what are you doing?"
