"Let me say this again: Chairman Minami and I were completely innocent..." Kotaro Katsura defended himself. "Other than our involvement with Muse, we each had our own things to keep us busy!"
"Eh!?" This time, Kotori Minami could no longer sit still. "Mr. Katsura, you really haven't had any private contact with my mother?"
"Kotori..." Kotaro Katsura's face was streaked with dark lines. "Even if you don't trust me, you should at least trust your own mother, shouldn't you? Chairman Minami is a strong mother. Even without anyone by her side to comfort her, she can still do her job well..."
"Then why do you keep showing up in the chairman's office?" Honoka Kosaka questioned.
"It was work..." Kotaro Katsura turned his face away. "It was all for work..."

A cross-dressing host at a drag bar, a cleaning lady for the Shinomiya Family, a nanny for the Sanzenin Family, a specially hired instructor at our Kondo Dojo, and now you're saying you were at Otonokizaka Academy for work too. And you still claim you can't make clones?"

What the heck was a cross-dressing host? And what was with the cleaning lady? Not to mention the nanny—aside from the specially hired instructor, weren't those all jobs women did?
Mai Sakurajima finally understood why he was dressed as a woman from head to toe.
"What choice do I have..." Kotaro Katsura said. "The economy is in such bad shape these days that I can't support myself without taking several jobs. And you just made me pay the bill here too..."
"Ah, um..."
