Chapter 453: [451] Bargaining
Seeing August's expression, Natsuki Minamiya immediately knew that this guy definitely knew something.
After recalling the plot, August couldn't help but smile. The start of this storyline meant that Natsuki Minamiya's exclusive maid from the original story was about to make her appearance.
"What are you smiling about? Spit it out. What do you know?" Natsuki asked August, her tone serious. The recent series of attacks had kept her extremely busy.

Natsuki, who usually didn't care about such trivial matters, was now seething with anger.
"Fine. What do you want?" Natsuki finally asked, suppressing her rage.
