Hiyoko had been sharpening her nails with a nail file and looked up at the black cat as he answered, and she had a knowing look on her face when Akira said the statement of accepting money from Roku. It seemed she knew something Akira didn't about Roku and she shook her hair, "Is that how you see it?" she asked him as the door opened moments later, Roku had come back as he looked at the landlady and then at Akira, "Oh, I see you've gotten comfortable." he said to Hiyoko as the female neko got up and patted Roku's shoulder, "You still owe me." she said as she left the two alone.
