"What exactly did the Principal say to you?" Minamoto Wakasei asked curiously.
"Anjou took another drag of his cigarette and blew the smoke into my face again. He looked at me with an expression of infinite sorrow, as if he were looking at a mad beggar," Uesugi Etsu grabbed his own hair. "Yet I had always been an emperor high above all others! I couldn't bear Anjou's gaze, filled as it was with disdain and pity, and I angrily told him either to produce evidence to refute my words or simply beat me to death to end it all."
"Yet in the face of my provocative words, Anjou remained indifferent. He merely told me in a very calm tone that before coming to Japan, he had investigated this current Clan Leader of the Shieki Eight Families—which is to say, he had investigated my background," Uesugi Etsu said. "Anjou said he knew my name was Uesugi Etsu, that I grew up depending on my mother in France, and that my Bloodline awakening had attracted the Secret Party's attention at the time. He also knew my old man's name was Uesugi Hideo, who died twelve years ago in a woman's lap. Furthermore, he knew my mother was called Charlotte Chen, a lifetime nun serving in the Catholic Association in France, who left France five years ago, went to Nanjing in China, and finally committed suicide in that city."
