Despite the relative nothingness that was going on with Tobias, elsewhere within the residential zone, the city was filled with life and variety. The guilds naturally were in control of the majority of resources in the residential zone, that wasn’t a problem for Rin who was merely attempting to get in touch with her sister. Although it was troublesome, the various blockades and monopolies set up couldn’t affect her much.

No, the main problem Rin ran into was that multiple accidents begin to occur whenever she tried to meet with her sister. The situation bordered on near impossibility. Whenever Rin arrived at locations that Kara should be, someone would stop her or various other accidents happened that prevented their meeting.

Sometimes, it reached the point of the two sisters missing each other by mere seconds and only realizing far afterward. The abysmally bad luck reminded her of the absurdities that occurred whenever Stanley was around, Rin persisted onward and eventually managed to forcefully get into contact with Kara.

Although that was only through multiple letters, the two sisters managed to exchange information and arrange a meeting.

Kara agreed to stay put, waiting inside a restaurant that was serviced by a small guild.

As Kara stayed put and refused to leave the restaurant for anything, Rin managed to forcefully give herself the opportunity to meet her sister.

Various accidents occurred along the way though.

Several guilds harassed her for her beauty, a brawl occurred in the street as she walked by and people tried to involve her in it, and someone dropped a bucket of cold water on her from a nearby window. Rin ignored those issues and forcefully marched onto to show up on time to the meeting. In normal times, Rin would’ve never been involved, but something seemed to force the attention onto her and prevented her from avoiding those accidents.

Had it been under normal circumstances, Rin been angry and dealt with those people causing her problems.

Today, though… She was determined to see her sister and refused to delay. No idiotic ability or supernatural power would stop her.

Regardless of how annoying it became.

Rin suppressed her anger at those imbeciles and continued onward.

Truthfully, the situation was such that she was quietly seething while walking in clothing that was soaking wet and freezing cold. When she entered the restaurant that Kara should be waiting and saw Kara sitting at a nearby table, Rin relaxed only slightly.

Kara immediately noticed her sister’s entrance into the restaurant and was dumbfounded, staring with surprise at Rin.

Rin’s appearance in the restaurant itself wasn’t anything special… that was expected because they had been communicating with each other.

… but Rin’s clothing was soaking wet and she had an expression that looked like someone owed her a million dollar. The addition of wolf ears on her head made her look akin to a cat forced into a bath and wanted to murder everyone and everything because of it.

Rin’s hair dripped water onto the wooden floor of the restaurant whilst her clothing had turned partially transparent and body shaking slightly with a cold, annoyed expression on Rin’s face that clearly wanted to slice someone into a million pieces.

“I would like a towel and a warm drink. No, you cannot touch my wolf ears. Food sounds good.” Rin spit out three sentences in rapid succession after walking over to Kara’s table.

Blinking in surprise at her sister’s sudden outburst of answers that she planned to ask, Kara’s head was slightly dizzy.

In fact, Rin hadn’t reloaded to know what Kara planned to ask. The situation was such that Rin knew her sister well enough to know that she would ask similar questions in this situation and she wasn’t in the mood to deal with it.

Kara might normally whine about the her sister’s refusal to let her touch her wolf ears and potentially ignore her sister’s wishes on that matter, but Rin’s current expression and the public location caused Kara to temporarily forget about those desires.

“Sit, I’ll talk to the waitress.” Kara replied with a nod, and headed over to the waitress.

A short while later, Rin was wrapped in a pink towel and sipping on a mug of hot chocolate sitting across from Kara on a table in the restaurant. The waitress a kind fox girl had politely given her the towel and encouraged her to warm up, stating that she could change in the back if needed.

That option was quickly thrown aside by Rin. The cold water had unfortunately soaked into her bag and soaked all the clothing on her body.

She had no clothing on her to change into and was unwilling to leave her sister to acquire new clothing. Doing so was likely to cause other accidents to occur, Rin refused to let the situation stop her from warning Kara when she was already in contact with her. The situation ultimately forced Rin to pinch her nose and dealing with the wet clothes.

Although Rin wouldn’t get sick from soaking in cold water for prolonged periods of time, the experience was anything but pleasant.

“How have you been?” Kara cautiously asked, scanning the restaurant at the same time. “You wrote that you had something to tell me?”

“I’ve been fine.” Rin shook her head and sipped on the warm hot chocolate. “-And I’m here to warn against utilizing your ability. The specifics aren’t important at the moment, but I need you to promise to avoid your foresight until I can properly explain the situation.”

Kara frowned, but knew Rin wasn’t the type to make jokes. “Alright.”

“Good.” Rin breathed a sigh of relief.

Although the message was short, it had taken her a long time to get across to her. The letter that contained that short message disappeared in the wind and never reached Kara due to various accidents.

Of course, this wasn’t enough to guarantee that Kara would avoid utilizing her ability. If the situation was desperate enough and the use of foresight required Kara would still utilize her ability and potential foresee her death.

To completely prevent that possibility Rin needed to explain in depth the situation and she wasn’t willing to do so in this public location. Although some details couldn’t be exposed in this public location, Rin knew she needed to take further preventive measures and carefully explained the situation.

“If forced to use your ability, avoid any vision involving myself or you in particularly.” Rin began to explain, “The best situation is to completely avoid using your foresight-”

The fox girl waitress walked in their direction with a plate of soup and politely said. “Here you go…”

The fox girl prepared to put the soup on the table.

Suddenly, a patron behind her molested her fluffy tail. Jumping in surprise from the sudden hand touching her tail, the waitress spilled the bowl of soup onto Rin and some landed on Kara.

“Hot!” Kara had been splashed by the soup and quickly wiped away the burning liquid on her face. “Rin!”

After cleaning herself off, Kara noticed that the majority of the soups burning liquid landed directly on Rin’s head and was promptly furious at he waitress’ carelessness.

Rin didn’t have a large reaction to the sudden assault of burning liquid, merely glaring irritably at the waitress.

As she was effectively immune to extreme heat, the burning temperature of the soup didn’t bother her. Despite that suddenly having a bowl of soup splash onto her face caused Rin’s expression to darken further.

“What do you think your doing!? That soup was scalding hot!” Kara had felt the temperature of the liquid herself, a normal person would have third-degree burns if that landed on them. “You shouldn’t even be serving soup that hot!”

“That…” The waitress looked terrified as she realized the potentially terrible consequences of dropped burning liquid on someone. “I’m sorry- I didn’t… The chef-”

“The chef didn’t drop soup-” Kara’s voice raised to the point of yelling.

“Enough.” Rin stopped the two of them from arguing and gestured to her towel that was now wet from the soup. “Please get me a new towel.”

“Yes- Of course! I’m so sorry-” The fox girl waitress apologized with a bow, before sending a angry look at the patrons on the table that molested her tail.

“It’s fine.” Rin coldly waved her hands and sent her away.

Kara coldly stated as the fox girl walked away without any good feelings. Although she had liked this restaurant before this incident, now she had no good feeling for it whatsoever. Kara never would’ve let the waitress get away with that nonsense if Rin hadn’t ended the situation.

Meanwhile, Rin understood that it wasn’t the waitress’ fault. Although that didn’t prevent her expression from darkening, Rin had basically accepted her situation.

Abnormal bad luck bordering on the nature of supernatural was constantly encountered whenever she attempted to relay information to Kara. A normal person would’ve been dead several times over from the situations she’d been forced to go through during this process.

Walking around caused guilds and arrogant people to troubling her. Artifacts exploding in her hand as she tried to use them. Sending letters and notes ended up with them somehow getting lost or spontaneously combusting. People would forget to relay messages or suddenly have something happen and lose the chance to pass on the message.

This meeting was long planned and took an absurd amount of effort to even make possible. The situation was exhausting. Rin suspected that Stanley was somehow involved in her current streak of bad luck. It was a situation too similar to when she attempted to kill him.

The thought caused her face to darken further.

Rin had no way to deal with Stanley.

Rin never succeeded in killing him and not for lack of trying. Bombs turn to duds, arrows suddenly deviate, and poisons neutralize spontaneously. Despite his relative incompetence, bad luck simply permeates the entire situation whenever she attempted to kill him. It was simply impossible.

That meant she couldn’t even test whether his death would solve this problem. Although Rin suspected they were only tangentially similar situation and Stanley himself had little to do with this situation.

Regardless of the actual situation, Rin was glad that she’d finally managed to get into contact with her sister and didn’t plan on leaving her anytime soon.
