Author's note:

this chp might be boring (im not motivated right now help)

--------------------------------

"A shame the remarkable Xiangling isn't here." Pantalone sighed disappointingly, "She's the face of Wanmin restaurant, after all."

Listening to Pantalone rambling was boring, not everyone has visited luxurious restaurants, you know? I don't even know who this 'Xiangling' is. I crossed my arms in annoyance, I was supposed to get Childe and Scaramouche closer but that stupid Dottore gets in the way!

Ever since Childe and Scaramouche got closer and even went down the path of almost holding hands, Dottore has been interrupting their interaction. Strange, I decided to listen in their conversation.

"Do you remember that time when I asked a question, and you got the correct answer by just blurting out some words? Heh, the look on your face was priceless!" The man said, Scaramouche just grinned. Though it looked forced, what's the drama between them?

I became more annoyed when Dottore had moved Childe out of the way, he's in the way of our plan! I visibly looked at them with disgust, this needed a solution. I looked at Sandrone and she seemed to have the same idea as me when she glanced at the two of them and back at her hands, I saw her evilly smirk and smile as if nothing had happened. She's planned something, I thought.

I walked up to her, pretending to be window-shopping, before I whispered to her without attracting attention. "He seems to be doing this on purpose."

Sandrone smiled sweetly before mouthing out, 'I know'

Sandrone's pov

What a pest.

That Dottore, he has something up his sleeve. He wouldn't just talk with his former student out of nowhere, he must've noticed the sudden closeness between him and Ajax...

As much as I'd hate to admit it, he must have had caught wind of the situation, as well as our secret operation. He's a keen observer, and he wasn't a stranger to me being cupid, there were plenty of times I did that. Especially with Rostam and Signora, and Columbina with Arlecchino, Dottore was there every single time. Though it's only now he was acting this way, maybe he has something in mind...

Everyone was busy looking at the menu, and I took this chance to glance at Dottore, who seemed to expect me to do so, since he was already staring back at me.

He suspiciously smiled before mouthing, 'Jealousy'

Right.

Dottore was no stranger to love, well not because he had many chicks but because he observes human behavior almost every day.

He had been my match-making partner once, and it was surprising that he knew exactly what to do and what not to do when making people fall in love with each other. But this doesn't mean I trust his judgement, in any case, he might be sabotaging the entire plan.

I smirked to myself, if that ever happens, then I'll be the one confronting him.

But for now, I should enjoy this moment. Dottore sat down beside Scaramouche, with Childe at the right of the Inazuman as well.

If jealousy was the route Dottore was planning to take, then so be it.

He showered Scaramouche with compliments, much to my dismay. Sandrone was oddly smiling at Dottore, sneaking a few glances here and there. Something...weird has been going on with me ever since Dottore was taking Scaramouche away, he's never done this before-well, at least not with any of his former students we encountered.
