Facing their Mother (1)

We moved from the hallway to their office on the top floor of the hotel to avoid the eyes of the employees and guests. Although it still had the scent of us from earlier, it was more private here. Their mother could interrogate us without causing a scene.

Ah. No. It's to save my girls' reputation. No matter what. Even if they wouldn't mind announcing to their whole staff about our relationship, it's not yet the time to let it hit their reputation. The world still follows the societal norm, after all. For now, it's enough to be vague about it and only give the confirmation to their close relatives.

For example, their parents.

Their mother sat down behind Maaya's office desk, taking her seat of authority as she eyed with a mix of skepticism and concern.

The Itou Sisters and I sat across from her, our hands joined again in a silent show of unity that their mother found an eyesore.
