408: Back with her

"Excuse me, but can you open the gate for me? I don't want to stand out here for too long. It messes with my mood and makes me cranky. I assure you that you do not want to see me cranky."

Amane knocked at the door of the HIVE. This was the first time The HIVE had gotten a visitor like her, so they wondered what to do. They felt compelled to open the door, but Chen had instructed them not to let anyone inside the building.

"H-Hey, what should we do now? T-That's Yoko Tsurugi, right? Should we let her in?"

The first guard asked, using his rational mind to figure out what to do. But his partner was someone who stuck to rules.

"There is no way we can allow anyone inside. Yoko Tsurugi or not, our orders to keep everyone out are not pick and choose. Let's send her back now."

The second guard reminded the first before he coughed into his hand to draw attention toward himself deliberately.
