While Baifeng Uesugi waited with the two girls for Mayumi Saegusa to arrive, he bought each of them an ice cream to pass the time.
But after about half an hour, the two little girls had long since finished their ice creams, and Mayumi still hadn't arrived.
Just as Baifeng Uesugi was wondering what was going on, the terminal in his pocket rang. He took it out and saw that it was Mayumi.
"Hello, Bai Feng. I'm terribly sorry, but something tricky has come up here. Could I trouble you to bring my two sisters over to me?"
Mayumi spoke apologetically.
"All right, then. I'll bring the two little girls over to you."
Hearing that, Baifeng Uesugi had no choice but to agree.
"Thank you so much, Bai Feng. I'll thank you properly when I get the chance," Mayumi said gratefully.
"It's fine. We can talk about that later. Take care of what you're dealing with first. I'll contact you again once I bring your sisters to the school."
Baifeng Uesugi smiled.
"All right. Sorry for the trouble, Bai Feng."
With that, Mayumi hung up.
Baifeng Uesugi could tell that she really did seem to be dealing with something tricky.
"You two heard all that, right?"
Baifeng Uesugi said, looking at the two sisters who had been eavesdropping the whole time.
"Go to our big sister's school? Sure! I've never been there before."
Kasumi Saegusa spoke excitedly.
"Yeah! I've always wanted to see her school, but she never let us go. Now we can finally see it."
Izumi Saegusa spoke excitedly as well.
Baifeng Uesugi led them to the parking lot, where an awkward problem arose.
His motorcycle could only carry one passenger, and both girls were too young to ride on the back.
"Excuse me, could you help me get the motorcycle to First High School?"
Baifeng Uesugi asked a staff member from the motorcycle dealership.
"Certainly."
"Good, then please head over first. I'll be there shortly."
Baifeng Uesugi hadn't expected the service here to be so thorough, and it saved him a good deal of trouble.
"Come on, I'll call a car to take us to First High School," Baifeng Uesugi said.
"Big brother, there's no need to call a car. Ours is parked nearby," Kasumi Saegusa said.
"Your car?"
"Yes. The bodyguards who came with us drove it, but we shook them off later," Kasumi explained.
"That's perfect, then. Let's take your car to school."
Baifeng Uesugi nodded.
Kasumi then took out her terminal and told the bodyguards to stop looking for them; they were by the car.
The four bodyguards soon arrived at the parking lot, all looking at Baifeng Uesugi warily.
"He's a friend of my sister's. He's taking us to see her, so all of you be polite to him."
Kasumi spoke imperiously.
"Yes, Miss Kasumi."
The four bodyguards nodded, and the wariness disappeared from their gazes as they looked at Baifeng Uesugi.
They soon arrived at the entrance to First High School, where the dealership employee had already been waiting for quite a while.
"You can just give me the keys. Sorry for the trouble," Baifeng Uesugi said.
"Not at all, valued customer. Please contact us if you need anything in the future."
"I will."
After seeing the dealership employee off, Baifeng Uesugi took Kasumi Saegusa and Izumi into the school.
Once inside, the two girls looked around like country bumpkins visiting a grand estate, occasionally discussing what they saw.
Baifeng Uesugi kept his eyes on the sisters as he took out his terminal and contacted Mayumi.
"Hello, President, I've brought your two sisters to the school. Where are you now?"
Baifeng Uesugi asked.
"I'm in the broadcasting room. Come straight over," Mayumi said.
Once he knew where Mayumi was, Baifeng Uesugi hung up and took the sisters to the broadcasting room.
When they arrived, Baifeng Uesugi saw quite a few student council members gathered there, along with people from the Public Morals Committee. Even Katsuto Jumonji was there.
"Can we open the broadcasting room door from outside?"
Tatsuya Shiba asked.
"They took the master key beforehand to keep us from opening it from outside."
Mari Watanabe spoke.
"This is clearly a criminal act, isn't it?" Tatsuya said.
"Exactly. That's why we should be even more careful in how we handle it, to keep them from losing control."
"No matter how carefully we act, it won't make them back down and give way," Mari Watanabe said helplessly.
"Even if we take a relatively forceful approach, we should resolve this quickly," Mari Watanabe said.
"Chief Jumonji, what do you think?" Tatsuya asked, looking at Katsuto.
"I think we can agree to their demands and negotiate," Katsuto said.
"They're just stirring up trouble. As long as we thoroughly refute their arguments, we can also eliminate any future concerns."
"So you mean we should hold our position for now?" Tatsuya said.
"Um... are you trying to get into the broadcasting room?"
Baifeng Uesugi asked.
"Bai Feng, you're here. Thanks for your effort."
When Mayumi saw that it was Baifeng Uesugi who had spoken, she greeted him.
"Kasumi, Izumi, once I'm done here, you two are going to give me a proper explanation of what happened."
She smiled as she looked at Kasumi Saegusa and Izumi, but anyone who knew Mayumi understood that this was not a good sign.
The two girls quietly slipped behind Baifeng Uesugi.
"President, are you trying to get into the broadcasting room?" Baifeng Uesugi asked again.
"Yes. Bai Feng, do you have a way in?" Mayumi asked, puzzled.
"I do, but I may have to break the door lock. Still, from the look of things, you don't seem to have a better option."
Baifeng Uesugi shrugged.
"I think we can let Bai Feng try," Mayumi said, speaking up to state her position for the first time.
"I agree too," Tatsuya said.
"All right, Baifeng Uesugi, I agree to your proposal too," Katsuto said.
"But you won't make me pay for the broadcasting room door lock, will you?"
Baifeng Uesugi suddenly asked an ill-timed question.
"Hey, Bai Feng, do you really think this is the time and place to say that?"
Mari Watanabe said helplessly.
"Don't worry, Bai Feng. The student council will cover all the damage," Mayumi said.
"Good, then. Please make way."
The Public Morals Committee and student council members stepped aside, clearing a path for Baifeng Uesugi to reach the broadcasting room door.
