Wordplay jumped a bit when Cuki asked him questions, since his focus was on Cross and Bernkastel. Despite their words, his eyes flicker from red and blue, causing him to grabbed onto his face. “Uh… “ He clears his throat as he resume speaking. “The Cardmaker Shop makes all sorts of stuff in card form. There is an official trading card game, but that’s something else entirely….” Wordplay lifted his finger at the card Cuki was holding. “These are custom made—some people used it for parties, calling cards, whatever. I can’t exactly tell you the reason, but if I were to make a guess… maybe it’s a way to get their name out there?”
Lucifer rubbed his chin. “Interesting. Another thing, do you know why they are targeting specific people? At least, what the guy that escaped knows?”
“I cannot say… I don’t think he and his friend are anything interesting, but I don’t know. I keep out of that stuff… fighting and all that… brings me grief.” Wordplay wipe more sweat from his head.
“I see. Our next destination is the Cardmaker Shop. If they are custom made, then the owner should at least give us an idea who purchase them. It’s not that far, so let’s get going.” Lucifer bowed towards Wordplay. “Sorry for showing up unannounced. Excuse us.”
“Yeah, well, uh, yeah. No, it’s a pleasure Lucifer.” Wordplay coughed once more. “Hold on, wait a second.” He rushed to the bar, grabbing a wine bottle. “Please, take this as compensation for coming all the way out here. It’s our favorite wine among the customers here, so, huh, please take this.”
“Thank you. I’ll come again to see you, at least, when it’s not a problem.” Lucifer turns to Bernkastel, handing it to her. “The Mother has the most delicious wine, so I figured that you should hold onto it. A single taste will give you blissful taste in your mouth.” The bottle had a delicious smell despite not being opened. Lucifer turns to the rest of the Breakers. “We got a lead, so let’s hurry.”
Wordplay grabbed onto his eye, still feeling the effects from Bernkastel’s attacks. “Please... come… again… hahaha. I need a break…” As he waved them goodbye.
As Lucifer headed out, Spina looked around the Mother before following suit, seeing almost all the eyes staring them in the room. “This is awkward.” However, there was one person that did not stare at them at all. Instead, he stood up and went towards the Breakers. Without stopping, he bumped into them, pushing Cuki towards the ground before running outside, passing by Lucifer.
“Hey!” Spina shouted after nearly falling to the ground.
Lucifer turned around seeing if the Breakers were all out, but seeing a man running off to someplace. “Huh? What was that about?” He heard a thud from beyond. “Did something happen?”
