"Sorry, I'm late."
Pushing the door open hastily, Asuna apologized somewhat embarrassedly to the girls sitting on the chairs, and upon hearing her apology, Tilia merely smiled slightly.
"No need, Miss Asuna, the timing is just right, so let's start."
"Okay... So, why did you call us here this time?"
It was only then that Asuna realized something seemed a bit off. She had previously only received a notification from Eiriri on her personal terminal, saying everyone wanted to have a small gathering. Initially, Asuna thought it would just be the usual tea and chat, but upon arriving here, she found the atmosphere was tense and serious, like a war vanguard.
At both ends of the oval conference table, sat Tilia and Sora Haruno. The former still carried her signature elegant young lady's smile, while the latter hugged her black rabbit doll as usual, shrinking into the chair with a displeased look.
