Inside the quarters of Strawberry Production, a very nervous Ichigo Saitou could be seen pacing back and forth, while occasionally grunting by himself.

His wife, Miyako Saitou, watched him in the corner of her eyes, while checking out the recent hoard of commission requests on their website.

"She said she might be running late, but how long...?"

The president muttered, glancing at his watch.

Miyako sighed.

"You are being needlessly anxious. She will be just fine."

"That doesn't make it any better. We have a huge performance tonight at the Tokyo Dome. It is necessary to check things with the girls, providing any remaining touches before going onto the stage," he replied.

While the discipline of Strawberry Productions was always solid, even with their growing popularity in the last few years due to the splendid  performance of B-Komachi, the President still couldn't afford to cut any corners. He believed that, letting your guard down when you are almost reaching the peak, would lead to one's crushing demise. It was the main reason they have been able to steadily make good progress under his leadership.

"Hah...if only that kid was around, I guess Ai would have had it a bit more easy," he unconsciously said.

"....are you talking about-?"

"Nevermind that. While she is on the way, I might as well check in with the production team, to see if everything's in the green."

Ichigo dismissively said, as he quickly left the office.
    
    
The Hoshino Residence

    
"Mama!"

"Mama!!"

"Yes~ Ruby?"

"Look at this one! Isn't it cute?"

The mother and daughter pair was busy sorting out and selecting clothes. The living room they were staying in was a scattering mess. The son only watched them from afar, not wanting to get involved in the crossfire.

"Hmm.....I think this one will look even cuter."

Ting Ting

"...?"

Hoshino Ai glanced at her phone, which just received a new message.

'Unknown number?'

She thought, wondering if it was someone from the production team or anyone else. She clicked on the notification panel, to see a very suspicious and weird message:
 

Location: xxxxxxx

Time: 3:32 p.m.
   
     
Ai glanced at the clock, to see that it was 3:28 p.m. And the location mentioned in the anonymous message was a place which took exactly around 3 minutes to reach from here on foot. As if the message itself was sent after making such precise calculations.

'Who in the world...?'

Ruby and Aqua looked at their mother's figure, who stood up and took her black cap and jacket, before wearing them over her white T-shirt and jeans. She grabbed her long hair and tied it in a bun.

"Mama, where are you going?"

Aqua also curiously looked at her.

Ai smiled at them.

"Mama will be back in a tinsy bit~ okay?"

Saying so, the young lady left the house, leaving her children in confusion.
