"Volleyball Friend Group" -Groupchat
Atsumu: So what is the plan for this weekend, again?
Ira: All the bottoms are going to my place. While the tops go to the park to hang out, they'll join us later at my house. Also, Alex is meeting them there. I gave Daichi his phone number to contact him.
Atsumu: Oh, OK.
Kuroo: Did Alex say precisely where and when he would meet us?
Ira: He said at the pavilion at eight on Friday night.
Kuroo: OK.
Ira: So before anyone else asks any more questions, I will update everyone on the plans for Friday night.
Ira: Bottoms, we will meet at my place at eight. I have people picking you all up. So just let me know where they should pick you up, and I'll give you a time when they'll pick you up.
Ira: Tops, you will meet at eight at the pavilion in Marilong Park. Alex will meet you there. You'll meet the rest at my house at 11:00. He has arranged a ride for everyone to take you to my house.
Ira: My house has enough rooms for every couple to have their own space. Each room has its own bathroom. The living room, dining room, and kitchen are all in one large open area. And the house is clean reasonably regularly. Sakusa and Atsumu, your room has been marked, and the bedroom and bathroom have gotten an extra cleaning just for Sakusa. Carlos, my butler, and the maids will take care of us. Each couple will have a maid assigned to them.
Ira: Any questions so far?
Sakusa: I don't have any. Also, thank you for doing that.
Ira: Any time, Sakusa! :)
Sugawara: I don't have any questions.
'Everyone else except Ira and Sakusa agreed.'
Ira: OK, then. I can't wait to see you all this weekend.
Ira smiled at her phone before going offline. Finally, she would get to show her friends her home for the first time. Her mom finally let her friends see the house. "Carlos!" she said from the living room. In a second, a man stood at the side of the couch. He was tall and had curly dark brown hair. His skin was tan, and his eyes were a bright crimson before returning to their usual dark chocolate color. Carlos wore a clean tuxedo with a slight tail on the coat, not a wrinkle insight. His white gloves had no speck of dirt on them, and his coal black shoes shone in the light.
"How may I be of service, Miss Ira?" He spoke with a very professional tone as he gave a bow at a perfect ninety-degree angle.
"Gather the maids. I have a message for you all," she said calmly and commandingly.
"Yes, ma'am." And with that, Carlos disappeared but returned a minute later with all the maids in tow. "We're all here, ma'am. You said you had a message for us."
"Yes, I do," Ira said in a regal tone. "Some of my friends are coming over this weekend. Each maid will be assigned to a person. When you meet them, make sure you know they are sent, so we can find them if something happens. Their partners will come over later Friday night with Alex. Are we clear so far?"
"Yes, ma'am," all the maids and Carlos said with a bow.
"Good, and one more thing. This weekend, you are not only their maids but also their secret protectors. Protect them with your lives if you have to. The Ligarno clan is having groups of freshly mated newborns learn to hunt for the first time out in Dicores woods. They will be 25 meters from the border closets to us. You'll need to protect them in case something happens. Am I clear?"
"Yes, ma'am."
"Good, you're dismissed. Go back to work, this place must be spotless." With that command, all the maids went back to work. However, Carlos remained behind. "Carlos, is something on your mind? If so, spit it out."
"You normally don't have the maids also act as protectors when you have friends over, and another clan has hunting groups nearby, so why now?" Carlos asked in worry
"Normally, yes, I wouldn't. But unlike my other friends, they can't defend themselves against vampires. On top of that, The leader of the Ligarno clan, King Firos, told my mother and me that he feels that someone may try to disobey the hunting rules. And since someone leaked info about where I lived and this weekend's plans, I'm worried whoever this rule-breaking vampire is, may try to attack us. So I want to avoid that if at all possible. Does that answer your question?" Carlos nodded and then disappeared.
