"Jared… Did you hear something?"
Amaterasu lightly nudges her boyfriend, whose hands have been quietly moving closer and closer to her thighs for the past thirty minutes.
"Huh?"
"Someone's yelling right next door! Can't you hear that?" She asks, sitting up from her position on the carpet. She presses her ear against the door of her guest room—which is next door to Ryoshi's. It occurs to Amaterasu that this isn't by accident (of course Morino-san would want her bedroom right by Ryoshi's—what a schemer).
"I guess I wasn't paying attention—" Jared mutters, eyeing her legs inconspicuously.
"Shhhh!" Amaterasu strains her hearing. "We should go see what's going on… I think it's Morino-san!"
"Do we have to?" whines Jared, moving closer to her.
"Ugh, move it, Jared—I'm trying to see!" she peeks through the crack in the door.
"I wanna see it too…" He gets up on his knees and leans over her—an easy task, because she's so short.
"Hey!" He murmurs, spying a glimpse of blue hair, "… That's Sweetheart!"
"No kidding… What's she doing there?"
Amaterasu blinks. She doesn't know much, but she does know that a romance between a maid and her master would be extremely discouraged. Oh dear… What if they've been caught?! Will Sweetheart get fired?!
"Listen," Jared whispers.
"What are trying to hide from me, Capulet-san?! I knew, I knew there was something not right about you—!"
"She's in trouble!" Jared says, concern filling his voice. "It has to be about Ryoshi-kun… We have to do something!" He jerks away from the door. Amaterasu frowns in determination, worry lining her mouth.
"Yeah, but what?" she exclaims.
"Don't worry—I have a plan. A while ago, Ryoshi-kun talked to me during my break in secret, after I caught them together. He told me she came from Otogi Academy…"
