Chapter 475: Making Friends

"Miura La Noir," I greeted her as she approached, and then turned toward her companion with a nod. "And Kufa Van Peer."

"Well met, Richard Huang," Kufa replied formally and slightly stiffly. I pushed up my glasses as I regarded him. He maintained a neutral expression, looking neither pleased nor upset to see me. Why did he even bother coming along if he wasn't interested in meeting me? Either that or he was good at concealing his emotions.

"The hell?!" In contrast, Miura was all fire and anger. She jabbed a finger right at my chest, but I managed to back away before she could make any physical contact. "You've been here for a month and you didn't come to say hello?! That's so cold of you!"

"Oh, uh…it didn't occur to me."

Miura raised a hand to her eyes dramatically, miming a sob. "Was that all I was to you? A brief, short-lived fling? To be discarded once you were done with me?"
