A ray of hope

The next day in Natsukashi, Nana was lost in a daze when Serena came in. She saw how Nana worried and upset, and a sense of guilt flashed past her eyes.

She inhaled deeply and called out, "Nana."

Nana said, "Oh, I didn't see you coming." Her voice was a little weak.

Serena asked, "What happened? You don't look so good."

Nana stayed silent.

Serena took a look left and right and asked in a low voice, "Is it about that blackmailer? What happened to the plan you made?"

Nana pursed her lips. "It didn't work. I don't know how that master came to know about my plan. I didn't even realize that there was a spy in Natsukashi too."

Serena said nothing. As Nana said, she didn't dare to look in her eye.

"That person warned me to stop snooping around. Now he also sends me pictures of Jinhai; sometimes he is in the car or entering someplace. He always has his sight on him. He wants to say that if I plan anything, he can harm Jinhai anytime."
