I looked at Tachibana gently and said, "I will arrange for us to meet soon. In a private place, just the three of us. Don't worry, I'll handle everything properly. For now, give me your number."
Tachibana hesitated for a second, her cheeks still faintly pink, but eventually nodded. We exchanged phone numbers in silence. After saving her contact, I looked at the name I just added — "Tachibana" — and smiled softly.
I then looked back at her. "Tachibana… I want you to do something for me."
She tilted her head slightly, still a bit wary. "What is it?"
"I want you to find out the location of your sister Hitomi."
Tachibana's eyes widened in surprise. She stared at me for a long moment before speaking. "Are you… going to heal her? But Master said… she told me that using your ability will hurt you badly."
