Yuri was only acknowledging an objective fact but for some reason, Genos seemed bewildered by her response.

"I guess you like roses, Mr. Genos?"

She abruptly recalled what happened last time at the festival and asked but upon hearing that, Genos' gaze became glued to her face.

He looked into her eyes speculatively, as if he was trying to assess why she asked such a question. Then he soon opened his mouth.

"Ms. Yuri!"

Right then, the sound of someone calling Yuri rang out from the entrance. As she turned her head, she found Anne-Marie standing there holding a paper bag full of groceries.

Genos shut his mouth again and sent a glance in Anne-Marie's direction.

He didn't seem to have anything else to say to her so Yuri left Genos alone and headed towards Anne-Marie.

"Ms. Anne-Marie, what are you doing here?"

Anne-Marie quit her job at the clinic just recently. So there was no reason for her to purposefully come to Blue Ferret anymore. Which is why Yuri asked, wondering if something was up then Anne-Marie gave a bright smile and replied.

"I was coming back from grocery shopping, so I just stopped by."

"That looks heavy. Do you want to put it down for a second?"

"It's fine, it's lighter than it looks. Hestia is eating a lot more lately, I think she's in her growth period."

After saying so, Anne-Marie looked around the coffeehouse.

"I've never been here at this time but there are less people than I expected."

"Yes, it's quite free right now."

Then Yuri suddenly grew curious and asked.

"Is today your day off, Ms. Anne-Marie?"

Although Anne-Marie was a caretaker, it seemed she only had to go to the old man's house four times a week, so she definitely had more spare time than when she worked at the clinic.

And when she asked, Anne-Marie shook her head.

"Not really, but you know there was a huge incident in the shopping area yesterday, so they told me to just rest up for today."

As she spoke, her brows furrowed slightly, and she examined Yuri's face.

"Are you okay, Ms. Yuri? You must have been really shocked yesterday, you should have just taken a rest today."

"I'm fine. I wasn't hurt at all."

Clang!

That very moment, a loud sound suddenly broke out behind them. The source of the noise was Genos.

For some reason, his eyes were wide, and he was looking in Yuri and Anne-Marie's direction. The noise a second ago seemed to have been caused when he tried to get up from his seat.

But when Yuri and Anne-Marie's gaze fell on him, he was startled and turned away. In that moment, Anne-Marie tilted her head.

"That person...somehow, I feel like I've seen him somewhere before."

And when she heard Anne-Marie exclaim in realization a moment later, Yuri felt Anne-Marie's eyes were very good.

"Ah, isn't he the guy that gave Ms. Yuri flowers at the festival?"
