The car door opened, and a blonde girl with a side ponytail stepped out, a lollipop between her teeth. Who else could it be but Hayasaka?
Hayasaka Ai stood beside the car door, her blonde hair fluttering gently in the evening breeze.
"President, get in."
Amamiya Natsuki climbed into the car and sat beside Hayasaka. He glanced around and saw that aside from her, there was only the driver.
"Kaguya didn't come?"
Amamiya Natsuki asked casually.
Hayasaka Ai kept the lollipop between her teeth as she replied:
"The people from the Shinomiya family are as jumpy as frightened birds now. They have to stay by Young Lady's side at all times, so of course they won't let her leave the estate."
Amamiya Natsuki reached out with his right hand, took Maid-chan's delicate hand, and laced their fingers together.
"With the Shinomiya family's influence, shouldn't they be able to get the Bureau to send players to help?"
Hayasaka Ai propped her chin on her right hand.

In fact, when the supernatural incident first appeared, the people from the Shinomiya family wanted to call you over. But that morning, you said you couldn't leave the hotel or you'd be in danger, so Young Lady stopped them."
Seeing the faint dark circles beneath Hayasaka's eyes, Amamiya Natsuki squeezed Maid-chan's fingers and asked softly:
"You haven't been getting any proper rest these past two days?"
"There's no way to rest." Hayasaka Ai covered her mouth and yawned, her voice weary. "The richer people are, the more afraid they are of dying. Those people would rather have us keep our eyes open twenty-four hours a day and stay by Young Lady's side."
