Ruby- Aoi-Kun~!

It was just another day at the agency. Aoi was growing himself in the computer, just staring at the filled-up Excel sheets marking all the schedules Ruby had to go through. Though it is less than her past schedules, Aoi is still preparing himself to move around with her. 

Ruby wrapped her arms around his shoulders as he side-glanced at her.

Aoi- What?

Ruby- Wanna go and get a parfait?

Aoi nodded.

Aoi- Maybe after your rehearsals

Ruby giggled.

Ruby- You, I, Kana, Mem, and Yoshizumi-San!

She looks at Shun, who is in deep thought and clearly distressed.

Ruby- Yoshizumi-San, why do you look like someone is ripping off your nails?

He sulked and then replied.

Shun- My sister...she used to stream sometimes, showing her face and...well, they got leaked

Ruby finished his sentence.

Ruby- And that led to them finding out about her life prior to doing cosplay?

She walked towards Shun.

Ruby- That happens to a lot of people, there's nothing to worry about, right?

Shun sighs.

Shun- About that...she said a lot of bad things like insulting other people...saying things that you'd normally censor...

Ruby- Woah...

Shun- She obviously got butchered really bad online...so she has no choice but to suspend her activities

Ruby perked up.

Ruby- That means she can join B-Komachi, now! Because her face is exposed! I mean, she looks good and speaks nicely...I think she'll be really popular!

Shun thought.

Shun- Uh, well, in the end it's up to her...

Ruby- Ask her first! 

 Shun- Well... 

 Ruby- Ask her! 

 Aoi pushed back his chair and turned to Ruby. 

 Aoi- Stop forcing him, he heard you

Mem-Cho and Kana walk into the room.

Mem- Yo! What're we forcing people into now?

She was holding a takeaway bubble tea cup. Kana was quiet as she had been for the past few days.

-------

The practices were as normal as always, but one thing Aoi caught up on was that Kana seemed to be distracted, more than she usually has been. She's been busy on her phone whenever we had a break.

"Maybe she found someone?"

Aoi looked at Kana and hummed. He then sat down beside Ruby and did his work, checking Ruby's DMS because she's still a minor and needs to be checked on. Ruby doesn't mind if Aoi's the one who's checking, but it still annoys her.

Ruby- Why do I have to have my account checked?

Aoi looked at her.

Aoi- It's this company's policy. It's not even that deep of a check

Ruby- But isn't that invasion of privacy?

Miyako, who was sitting at her desk, spoke up.

Miyako- Your social media accounts belong to the company, as Aoi says. It was also written in that contract
