"Oh?" I couldn't help letting this expression out after hearing this.
At the same time, I couldn't help feeling a bit excited since this might just be the clue that I needed for my investigation.
Ronnie could see the interested look that I had, so she leaned in closer and said with a smile, "I've heard some very interesting things, so which ones do you want to know about?"
I was surprised that she would suddenly come in closer, letting me get a closer view of her beauty.
When she was close to me like this, I really couldn't help being taken aback by the beauty that she had.
Those crystal clear eyes that I hadn't been able to look at directly before were now sparkling like the stars in front of me. There was even a glisten to her cherry red lips that really made one want to see just how they tasted.
But I held myself back and said, "Well, I definitely want to hear the most interesting one."
Ronnie gave a chuckle when she heard this and then she revealed what seemed to be a naughty smile, which just made her seem even more beautiful.
Then she said in a lowered voice, "You didn't hear this from me, but a little birdy has been saying that the fishmonger's wife has been going out quite a bit lately. According to that little birdy, it seems like she has been heading to the butcher's place almost every other night…if you know what I'm saying."
After she said this, the naughty smile on her face became even wider.
As for me, my chin just dropped down after I heard this, but it wasn't for the reason that you would think.
It wasn't because I had been completely shocked by this news since I didn't even know who these people were.
Rather, I had been shocked that this was the most interesting thing that she knew…
It seemed that I had gotten my hopes up and in the end, I was disappointed.
It seemed that I had been expecting too much out of this girl who was just a commoner, the most interesting things that she had heard were just some rumours about the people of the city.
There was no chance that she would actually have any useful information on the demons.
With a sigh, I said, "It isn't nice to gossip about people like that."
Ronnie pouted her lips and said, "You're the one that asked in the first place and you're judging me!"
I revealed a bitter smile before saying, "You know that's not what I meant."
Ronnie tilted her head to look at me before saying, "You're the one that told me to tell you something interesting and this is the most interesting thing that I know."
I shook my head with that same bitter smile on my face before saying, "Well, is there anything else interesting that you know?"
After hearing this, Ronnie revealed the same naughty smile as before and she began telling me the different rumours about this city.
All of the rumours that she told me involved the people of the city in some way, but they were all gossip about their daily lives.
Such as someone gossiping about people behind their backs, someone telling someone else fake information, or other small and petty things that didn't matter.
With the way that she kept telling me all of this, it seemed that she was quite the talented gossiper…
She even seemed like she was on the same level as those old ladies in my past life…
But that wasn't what I wanted to hear and I was getting dizzy from her chattering in my ear like this.
So I said in the end, "Thank you for telling me all of this, but I have to go now since it's getting dark."
It really was getting dark outside since I had been trapped in here all afternoon listening to Ronnie's gossip.
Ronnie revealed a disappointed look, but she also had a look of understanding on her face since she could see how dark it was outside.
But before we could leave, Ronnie suddenly asked, "Will we see each other again?"
I suddenly stopped moving and turned around to look at her, seeing a strange look on her face which made me surprised.
But there was a part of me that didn't want to crush this strange look, so I just simply replied, "If we're fated to meet, we will meet again."
Then without waiting for a response from her, I turned to leave.
At least this would be better than just leaving her with fake promises.
Even after they had left, Ronnie just sat there staring at the entrance to the cafe in a daze.
That was until the owner of the cafe came over and asked, "Young miss, are you alright?"
That snapped Ronnie out of her daze and she narrowed her eyes to reveal a serious look. She looked at the owner of the cafe and asked, "Do you have any information on those two?"
The owner of the cafe shook his head and said, "Young miss, they were first time customers that just came in this afternoon. If you want, I can take the time to get information on them."
After a moment of silence, Ronnie shook her head and said, "No, there's no need for that."
Then her expression became dead serious as she said, "What information do you have for me today?"
The owner of the cafe also revealed a serious look before heading back to the counter to bring over a packet of papers for her.
He placed them in front of her before falling to one knee and saying, "This is the information from the outskirts of the city this afternoon. There's a few strange things that we've noted that we need your help with."
Ronnie looked up one last time at the door before giving a sigh and picking up the top piece of paper on this pile.
As she looked at it, she muttered to herself, "If we're fated, huh?"
