Anguis Regina’s manager changed frequently. Not long ago, she had fired the last one, leaving the position currently vacant.
‘The reason for dismissal: Anguis Regina’s whims.’
However, it seemed she maintained an amicable relationship with her former managers without any lingering resentment.
I went to meet each of Anguis Regina’s former managers.
“Anguis Regina? She hasn’t come to me. If you’re asking about our relationship... I was her former manager, lover, and friend? Sometimes, when she feels lonely, she calls me over to her mansion. She’s a pitiful girl in many ways. Want a cigarette?”
A woman whose face was covered in phosphorescent makeup spoke while smoking. A cat with shimmering rainbow-colored fur sat on her lap.
I indifferently refused her offer. Ilay came to mind for no particular reason.
“I don’t smoke.”
“You’ve got the look of someone who drinks, smokes, and does drugs, but you’re a non-smoker? That’s funny.”
The woman chuckled. She was a former psychological counselor. Perhaps because of that, she had been Anguis Regina’s manager the longest—though that still only amounted to a year.
Anguis Regina’s managers all had unusual backgrounds. Gang members, psychological counselors, chefs, ex-military personnel—each one was different.
