“You really saved us, little miss,” Komatsu said as they left the hotel, pressing his hands together as if he was worshipping Aoi. “The kiddo was so outrageous.”

Aoi shook her head. “It was nothing.”

Kiyotaka frowned. “You’re being outrageous too, Komatsu. I was taking the job seriously.”

“As if,” said Komatsu. “Who knows what would’ve happened if the little miss hadn’t come to save the day?”

“No, I didn’t do anything important,” said Aoi, embarrassed. “In the end, it was Holmes who did all of the explaining.”

“No way.” Komatsu shook his head and hands vehemently. “The kiddo’s explanations were good, but it was touch and go the whole time. Your detoxifying power gave us peace.”

“Detoxifying?” Aoi tilted her head.

“Little miss, could you come tomorrow too? Just the afternoon’s fine, and I’ll pay you, of course.” Komatsu pressed his hands together.

Kiyotaka stepped in front of Aoi. “Komatsu, Aoi has classes to attend. If it’ll stop you from inconveniencing her, I’ll do my job properly tomorrow.”

“You admit you weren’t doing it properly!”

“Um...” Aoi raised her hand gingerly. “I can join in the afternoon tomorrow. I’m happy to be of help.”

“Oh, little miss!” Komatsu exclaimed, touched.

Kiyotaka placed his hands on his hips, exasperated. “Well then, Aoi, make sure Komatsu pays you very handsomely.”

“Oi! Well, it’ll be a lot, don’t worry.”

“Thank you.” Aoi laughed.

“Shall we head back, Aoi?” Kiyotaka held out his hand. When Aoi tried to take it, he ran his hand down her arm and around her waist. “Well then, see you tomorrow, Komatsu.”

Kiyotaka and Aoi waved and walked off together.

“Yeah, thanks for today. See ya,” said Komatsu, waving back as he watched the couple leave.

The moment they were off the hotel’s property, Kiyotaka rubbed his head against Aoi’s. It was as if he was asking her to praise him. Aoi laughed in amusement and patted him on the head.

Komatsu narrowed his eyes coldly at the sight. “What the heck is with that drastic change in personality?” Still, when he caught a glimpse of Kiyotaka’s happy face, his expression relaxed. “Well, I’m really glad he met the little miss.”

As he was thinking that, Ensho came to mind. He felt a small pang in his heart at the thought of Ensho’s feelings. “I was hoping he’d straighten things out with Yilin, but... Well, I should be heading back too.” He stretched. “We’ve got more guiding to do tomorrow. Gotta love a high-paying job.” He grinned as he began to walk.

Never in his wildest dreams did he imagine that a tremendous incident would occur the next day.
