Chapter 31: Listener.
"Hey... you're gonna crush my arm..."
Try as he might, Dante couldn't pull his arm out of Liliana's grasp. He almost dislocated his shoulder in one attempt. The girl kept glaring at him, and though her face was flushed red, the determination in her eyes refused to waver.
"I'm not going to let you go until you tell me!" She hissed.
"Tell you what!!?" Dante shot back. "What makes you think I know anything?"
"My intuition! And you have been acting suspiciously since this morning!"
By now the sun was already down and the stars came out to play. For Dante, the day had been far more stressful than he had anticipated. Having wandered the streets of Factory Town since noon, and adding to that the fight against the Enhanced Jason, Dante was exhausted. The strain from wearing Type 3-2 contributed to that as well.
Dante never wanted to deal with the rich wannabe hero in the first place. Because of that, his anger kept rising at an alarming rate.
[Dante.] Volcan's voice was like cold water spilled on a searing stone. [Someone is spying on you from around the corner.]
Though he heard the AI, Dante didn't show any reaction on the outside.
'... Are you sure?'
[Yes. I deduced that, since you sought a secluded area for your conversation with Liliana Eisenberg, you wished for no one to hear you. For that reason, I have been monitoring the area to ensure you have privacy.]
