The Club Owner

We moved deeper into the inner corridors of the club.

Scarlet

There are so many doors on both sides of the hallway!

Claire

...Hmm, we'll have to check them one by one.

Claire

...This looks like a private lounge.

Scarlet

This one too!

Claire

Most of them look similar.

Claire

It seems all these rooms are private lounges assigned to club members.

We have no choice but to go further inside...

...Ah.

From deeper in the corridor, a large man in a suit was walking toward us.

He wore the same uniform as the guards earlier, but his presence was different.

I had a feeling he was of a higher managerial rank.

Guard Captain

May I assist you? Is there something you need?

His tone was polite, but his cold eyes, devoid of any smile, scanned our group.

Scarlet

W-we were just... um...

Claire

Our master said he was tired, so we were looking for a place to rest for a while.

Guard Captain

In that case, let me assist you.

Guard Captain

May I have your name?

...This is bad.

Guard Captain

...Excuse me, could you tell me your name, sir?

Guard Captain

I will look it up for you.

The guards in the hall had shown no interest in me and only checked the bunny girls' identities.

But this time, I am clearly the target.

He is likely someone who knows the faces of all the club's members.

And he is definitely suspicious of us, whom he has never seen before.

Guard Captain

...Headquarters. Situation in the south corridor.

Guard Captain

Intruders have entered. Requesting backup.

In an instant, guards swarmed us from all directions.

Claire

This is my fault for not preparing a more thorough plan...

Claire

I only prepared contingency plans up to Plan C for failing to meet Emily...

Claire

And only up to Plan F for Scarlet's behavioral patterns!

Claire

It was far too careless of me!

Claire

If only I had made a more perfect plan!

...No, you did everything you could.

Claire

...In the end, we have arrived at the one plan we wanted to avoid the most, Plan G.

Scarlet

No, was this not the best plan from the start?!

Scarlet

I'm sick of crawling around on my knees and sneaking about!

Claire

*Sigh...* There's no other way.

Claire

We'll have to force our way through.

Scarlet

I've been waiting for this!

There's no turning back.

Guard Captain

Our master despises uninvited guests the most.

Guard Captain

That's why, ever since this club was established, we believed entry control was flawless...

Guard Captain

Heh... heh heh...

Guard Captain

You insignificant little rats... How dare you tarnish this club's security?

Claire

Are you really that proud of it?

Claire

We gathered all the information, including the club's location and infiltration method, within an hour.

Guard Captain

Lies! That's impossible!

Guard Captain

If we let you leave here alive, you'll go around blabbing about this place.

Guard Captain

I'll deal with you before this gets out of hand.
