The inside of a limousine omitted a sense of richness, an aroma usually present when spending greatly to reserve a top-luxury restaurant, such as the Sky Garden. Once in a lifetime, a common folk would get a chance to sit in a luxury vehicle built by Bentley, Rolls Royce, Range Rover and Mercedes in Europe, and in Japan it was Lexus. It was an experience to always remember.
"******-sama. It is lunch time now. Do you require some refreshments to build up your system again?"
However, for the girl sitting in the luxurious passenger compartment of a MPV styled to be like a limo, such a sight was a daily occurrence for her. The Lexus LM350 was not a limo, but an MPV with luxury inside that felt like a limo. This vehicle had become her personal assistant for travelling around the compact and densely populated streets of Tokyo and beyond the wider country.
The burgundy leather seats, the obvious luxurious minifridge, the small TV and tablet available for entertainment. Everything in this vehicle was beyond what even Yatei Ayatouji's personal Mercedes S Class car was capable of. And yet, not only was it much smaller, it all belonged to the young girl sitting in the passenger compartment.
But that never really mattered to the girl.
Her attention was brought away from her Apple Macbook Pro to the front of the vehicle, where her chauffeur was in the driver's seat, speaking through the intercom. If there was any way to describe what this driver looked like, it was a man wearing a stereotypical black tuxedo, bow tie and cufflinks. It would be safe to assume the man formerly worked at a very expensive hotel aimed at housing only the extremely wealthy citizens and even it's politicians, driving them to their respective destinations.
The man was clearly focused on driving the vehicle they currently resided in, but it was apparent to the girl that he was waiting for an answer. With that in mind, she responded.
"Hm? Well, I would like to go to that restaurant again. The one in Chiyoda. If you don't mind."
Despite her monotone, the man seemed to pick up even the tiniest bit of anticipation and excitement hidden behind it. He couldn't help but smile and nod, indicating his agreement to his master's request.
The Lexus LM350 kept traversing through the tight streets of Tokyo with ease. Had she been riding in a stretched vehicle, the journey would have taken much longer as it would have struggled to make the tight turns along the narrow but busy Tokyo streets. It would be fair to say there would be a lot of annoyed and impatient drivers. Constant honking, screams of fury, swearing, the girl and her chauffeur wouldn't hear the end of it. But even if they did, the vehicle had been built with integrated noise cancelling technology usually found on headphones.
Riding in such a vehicle truly felt like a luxury.
The man was constantly focused on the road in front of him, driving safely around the cramped streets of Tokyo. However, his attention occasionally turned behind him to see the girl in the leather seats doing whatever when the chance arised.
"I know it's not my place to ask too much ******-sama. But what are you doing on your laptop? You seem really focused there on something? Is it work related?" He couldn't help but ask after observing the girl for a while.
Said girl barely looked up after being asked such a question. In fact, her apathetic expression remained the same. Instead of being surprised, she seemed continually calm and composed, as if either this was normal to her or she just didn't care.
"Hm? Work related? I guess you could say that this is work related in a way..." She answered, but paused for a moment after looking again at her laptop.
On her laptop was a chat app. No. It was probably more accurate to say that the girl was on a forum app and she just happened to be using the comment section of a specific forum. Her account and name was visible alongside another person's. It appeared the girl was conversing with another person.
What caught the girl by surprise was not the name of the holder's account, rather what they were conveying in their message.
"Yagami Takuya-kun has entered a slump and is cursing for revenge on Ayanokouji Kiyotaka-senpai. It looks like he still intends to go after Ayanokouji-senpai even after losing and hearing your warnings. Meanwhile, Nagumo Miyabi-senpai has lost his position as the Student Council President after a huge scandal involving him got exposed. Ayanokouji Kiyotaka-senpai is also aware of me being in contact with you, but still doesn't know who you are." was what the first message that caught her attention said.
"I'm sorry that I couldn't keep this contact a secret for longer. But will this information suffice for you this week?" was what the second message said.
Unwillingly, the girl's mouth gaped a little before it closed and later formed a smirk. It appeared the girl found this news amusing, especially so after an imaginary lightbulb formed on top of her head.
"Yes. That information is perfect, Tsubaki-san. Please don't worry about Ayanokouji Kiyotaka-kun knowing about this. In fact, it works out better this way. Continue on relaying any more information before the cultural festival and do not bother with Yagami-kun for the time being. I shall relay you some new orders in due time." was what the girl sent back.
After that, she put her phone away and turned to see her chauffeur looking back at her with a smile.
"We're here, *******-sama. The restaurant you wanted to eat at. We can't stay here too long though. I need some time to get you to your next meeting."
The girl nodded and exited the vehicle, salivating her mouth for what would become a buffet session until her next meeting. However, her thoughts went back to the message she read earlier and the idea that formed in her head around the same time.
[Things may get interesting for the Cultural Festival. Perhaps I can use Yagami-kun and this Nagumo-kun to my advantage and make this more amusing. If I play my cards right, the extra information I received from Atsuomi-sama about Karuizawa Kei-san combined with this newfound information from Tsubaki-chan...]
The smirk on her face widened into a grin, something unbefitting for a girl such as herself. However, she did not let it last long as she tried to keep her image up.
[Just you wait, Ayanokouji Kiyotaka-kun. The Cultural Festival will be your biggest challenge yet before you face me.]
