I nodded: "I remember that name."
I had heard similar information from Annie before, but I still can't figure out if there is a strong correlation between the two.
What if it's just a coincidence that the names are the same? That's not impossible either.
Although there were many opportunities to ask the question before, they were all lost in an instant due to sudden interruptions.
Now, this may be another perfect opportunity.
Miyuki seemed to sense the atmosphere and glanced at us a few times, but she never cared about such things, so she simply made up an excuse and strode away into the distance.
