Just as Renie had said, she didn't stay long in Saint Nali. After enjoying a fun play with Mr. Fisher that evening and receiving a necklace he bought for her as a gift, she wore it proudly around her neck.
The next morning, Mr. Fisher woke up only to find that the black-haired lady had already disappeared.
Renie seemed to dislike the scenes of parting from Mr. Fisher. Every time they reunited, one could feel her meticulous preparation, but when it came to parting, she would leave without saying goodbye.
Mr. Fisher didn't mind and stayed a long while in the fragrant-filled room before preparing to head off to teach at the university.
He had a few matters to attend to lately—aside from his routine classes, there was also the issue of Carlo, the Artificial Witch. He was still at the Pink Hall, and Mr. Fisher was somewhat concerned about the role Pink Hall was playing in this visit of Schwali to Nali; he always felt that this "entertainment venue" seemed a bit too suspicious.
