Nishida Yuki opened the video on the hard drive and immediately saw Akimoto Yoichi.
The footage began last night, from the moment Akimoto Yoichi left Suzuran Ayano's house.
It had captured every detail: the route he took home, the way he walked, the cats he stopped to pet, and the six bento boxes he bought at the convenience store, each marked down to half price.
Watching Akimoto Yoichi seem completely unaware, Nishida Yuki happily kicked her little feet, enjoying the thrill of spying on him.
Even changing clothes was left entirely to her personal maid, Kitamura Mao.
Once she had changed into her pajamas and Kitamura Mao had finished tidying up, Mao sat down on Nishida Yuki's bed.
"Young Lady, do you like this Blondie?" Kitamura Mao asked.
Though they were mistress and servant in public, in private they were more like sisters.
Kitamura Mao had been by Nishida Yuki's side since childhood, a companion selected through a rigorous process.
When Nishida Yuki went to Izuki Academy to experience ordinary life,
Kitamura Mao had taken the time to go abroad and earn her helicopter pilot's license, divemaster certification, and advanced mechanic's certificate.
She had just returned today. She also knew that, during her time away, a Blondie had manually muted Nishida Yuki.
As a result, every member of staff at Izuki Academy, aside from the teachers, had been replaced.
The school staff had also been responsible for protecting Nishida Yuki. Clearly, they had failed at that, although Nishida Yuki seemed to be enjoying the whole thing and had even approached Blondie of her own accord.
Watching Blondie on the video, Kitamura Mao couldn't understand why Nishida Yuki would be interested in a delinquent like him.
"Like him? No, no. I don't like Akimoto-kun." Nishida Yuki shifted and rested her head
