Kagami and Tsukasa were in their way to home, when suddenly Kagami's mobile started to sound.
"Oh! Surely it's dad or mum, to ask why we're late." Kagami said, while she picked her mobile phone.
"Yeah, probably." Tsukasa answered.
"Yes?" Kagami answered to the phone.
"Kagami? What happened?" her mother answered.
"Well, in the school they gave us some... compromising news." Kagami answered trying to search the words for describing Kuroi's news.
"Oh, yeah? What is this about?"
"I think it's better we'll tell you at home, you're going to hallucinate."
"Okay."
"Right now we're in the way to home. We'll arrive in a few minutes."
"That's good. By the way, the dinner's ready."
"Okay, okay. See you later, mum." And Kagami hang up.
When Kagami and Tsukasa arrived to home, they went to the dining room to get the dinner with their family.
"It's about time." Said one of the big sisters.
"Well, well, give us a break, we arrived very tired." Kagami answered.
"Okay, enjoy your meal!" Said everyone.
While they were dining, Kagami's mother started to talk about her news.
"Then, Kagami, what they told you in school?" she asked.
"Well... Let's see..." Kagami started to doubt if telling them the news, because it was unusual "I don't know where to start..."
"We're going in excursion to Kamakura beach, and we're staying to a hotel." Said Tsukasa directly.
"Wow! Why?" asked the second big sister.
"Because..." Kagami started to invent a lie, making it credible "Because our show in the Festival was so perfect that they gave us this trip as a award." And then she winked an eye to Tsukasa.
"Ah... Yes! That's true!" Tsukasa answered.
A uncomfortable silence invaded the house...
"Eh... It seems... Logical..." her father answered.
"Yeah, sure..." answered Kagami a bit nervous.
"And when are you going?" her mother asked.
"Let's see... Today's Friday..." Kagami started to make mental calculations "This Sunday to 10:30 in the morning we're going in train, and tomorrow we're going to prepare everything. Tsukasa, me and the other 8 in the show will go."
"Great, I hope you cooperate very well." Said the first of the big sisters, making an evil laugh.
"I don't think that was a compliment..." Kagami answered frustrated, being afraid of the bad things could happen in the trip.
In that moment, Kagami ended with her meal and stood up.
"I remember that I have to do a favour to a classmate. I'm coming to my room." Kagami said.
"Okay, we'll wash the dishes soon." The big sisters answered at the same time.
"As always, of course..." Kagami added, and went to her bedroom.
"What?" Kagami exclaimed to the mobile phone "We only can work in a laundry?"
"That's right, and they pay well." Ayano answered in her phone "Also, Misao is more encouraged than ever."
"It's..." Kagami sighed and answered "I'm not good in housework..."
"Really?" Ayano asked.
"Yes..." Kagami answered and added "But given the circumstances I have to work with you."
"Don't worry, you'll get used to it." Ayano said.
"How much they pay?" Kagami asked.
"800 yens by hour. Since Monday to Fryday, since 8:00 to 14:00."
"Let's see... It makes... 800x5 are 4000 yens, multiplied by 3 of us are... 12000 yens by day... Not bad."
"Great, huh?"
"I only hope that Konata doesn't steal that money" Kagami added "And it's so far?"
"Ten minutes since hotel to the laundry."
"Cool, we've got the perfect job!"
"But only if the boss doesn't know that we are roommates."
"What do you mean?"
"We have to get presented one by one, one day to another, so the boss won't suspect that we're roomates; if she discovers it, she'll reduce our salary sharing between us. We're playing with lots of money, you know?"
"This... Well..." Kagami sighed "Does Misao know it?"
"Yes. I've explained to her and she's agreed with it."
"Great." Answered Kagami "Well, I have to get some sleep, to reserve strength for tomorrow, okay?"
"Okay. Good night, Kagami."
"Good night, Ayano." And Kagami hang up and lied down to the bed, very tired. Kagami was experienced many adventures in that day, and she's still nervous.
Tsukasa entered to Kagami's bedroom to talk with her. "You've got a moment, Onee-chan?" Tsukasa asked.
"Yes." Kagami answered "What's up?"
"Why you lied in the dining room? Actually, we won that award cleaning the classroom."
"Nothing special..." Kagami blushed "I had to make it credible, because if don't, maybe the family doesn't believe it."
"I see. Well, good night." Tsukasa left Kagami's room.
In that moment, Kagami picked her mobile and went to the gallery and started to watch some special photo... A photo made with Konata the day before of the Festival. In the photo, they were happy, like they've reunited after long time no see.
"Konata..." Kagami murmured.
Then, she left her mobile in the bedside table. She put the pyjamas, went to the bed and tried to sleep. While she was doing all that, didn't stop of thinking in Konata.
