She was so familiar to him, as though she was a dream he had soon forgot and to her he was nothing at all but the person who made her glow and she wonders if she'll finally be able to say it- Unaware that it was fate tying them both together now; De...

"Oh whatever!" Ayako grumbled continuously in the car as they had finally left Noto sometime in the afternoon once they all got their reins in their hangover. "That fellow who only cares about looks!"
Ayako's displeasure had started when we set off.
"Oh, calm down Ayako. Naru must have good reason to have Masako join him in the van." The Miko gave out an exasperated huff as she rolled her eyes at the passenger seat, rolling her hazel eyes.
"Yeah yeah! The size left in the van is small yadah yadah!" She grumbles, clenching her fist, turning her upper body to look at the youngsters sitting in the backseat. "At a time like this, shouldn't I get special treatment?! No matter how small the space left is on that van but instead Masako gets the glory!"
Because Bou-san's car is a normal five-person vehicle, it definitely could not seat more than 5 people and although the company vehicle is a van, it was filled with equipment and could only seat 5 people as well, if it is fully equipped: Three on the front and two at the back. On normal cases the official SPR group: Lin, Naru, Mai, Akemi and Oliver can fit in easily but in complex cases such as the Noto hotel made them accommodate a total of 9 people with Oliver, so theoretically there still shouldn't have been a problem.
If the company vehicle was to be driven by Lin-san, it was only natural that Naru would accompany him on the front seat. Following that came the problem: who would take the last three seats in the company vehicle?
And why did this problem arise? Well it was in that morning at breakfast when Naru changed it all—
"Speaking of glory," Ayako's eyes narrowed as she raised a brow towards the person sitting in the middle of John and Yasuhara— all three spine-crawlingly smiling so genuinely on their faces that it was odd to see all three together. "What happened to yours? You and the brat had a fight or something that he dumped you here with us? What happened to your throne, Akemi?"
Akemi cocked her head lightly to the side, a finger on her chin as she feign thought of what to say. "Well I think its because he's shy..."
Ayako frowned at her words, suspicious. "...Have you done something to him again, Akemi?"
With a quick reaction her head straightened, and a bright smile plasters itself on her lips as she glowed. "Nothing that I didn't like~!" And the group nodded and didn't bother asking for more details. Seems legit.
When Naru informed them at breakfast that Akemi won't be sitting at the van with them, the reaction they hoped Akemi would give was to either complain or be confused and question why but it surprised them when the heiress simply smiled so wide with flowers surrounding her figure, saying "Sure, I don't mind~!" While in response, the tensed air around Naru thickened further. Such different atmospheres confused the group that they didn't couldn't process all that's happened. Even Lin took a second glance after taking a bite of his food as though he had only processed the information and gaped at Naru in surprise, but the two teenage girls saw this as an opportunity. Their eyes lit on fire as they finished breakfast quick, packed the equipment and their stuff and stood beside the van waiting for the passenger seat to be unlocked. Eyes locked on the passenger door, both aiming to sit at the vacant seat at the front between Lin and Naru.
