- Thank you for these few minutes, Mei-san, - she said, getting up and pretending to leave, then "remembered" something and "hesitated" a little, feeling an unpleasant sensation inside from having to play out such a small scene, but asking directly about such nonsense without any pretense felt awkward. - Yes, you know, there was another thing... To be honest, it's not easy to put it into words right away... Have you happened to notice any... let's say... mysterious or unfamiliar people around here "some" time ago? - she didn't specify how many decades or millennia ago. - The thing is, I happened to come across, let's say, a certain urban legend. It is assumed that someone placed "clues" in certain places in the city and its surroundings to solve a "mystery." I have one of them, and it seems to me that it could lead right here, to this building, - she raised her eyebrows mysteriously and spread her hands. - I understand that it sounds at least unusual, or even like some kind of joke, but I must admit that in this matter, curiosity has taken over, and I can't help but check. To give you an idea, listen:
The answer awaits you
In the abode of beauty
Under a closed sky
Behind the third portal
- she said solemnly and gave a few seconds for these words to sink in with her interlocutor. - I have a rough idea that it might be somewhere... here, - her finger pointed to the area near the window that the manager usually leans on. - What do you think? I think something here fits. Would you mind if we checked? To be honest, I would feel better if there was nothing here. It would be clear that it was just a joke, and nothing more.
