In the living room, Sayanomiya Kaoru sat nervously, facing the scowling siblings. Beads of sweat trickled down her forehead.
Haru glared at her, his expression promising a swift execution if her news wasn't satisfactory.
Kasugano Sora sat beside him, her face expressionless, as if she were already looking at a corpse.
"Well... uh... the History Compilation Committee has received a report. The Yuri family, the Hime Miko clan who protect the Shichiou Shrine, accepted an invitation from their magical colleagues in Austria. This morning, they departed for Italy on a family vacation to Europe. They have left the Committee's intelligence network! Following Your Majesty's previous decree, I have come to report this immediately." Sayanomiya Kaoru emphasized her last sentence.
'You told me to report immediately, so it's not my fault! Please don't kill me!!!' Sayanomiya Kaoru thought, her heart pounding with terror.
She sat rigidly on the sofa, watching Haru as he seemed to contemplate her method of execution. Her body trembled uncontrollably.
'I'm going to die! I'm going to die! I'm going to die! This time for sure!'
