"Uesugi, I am not your only sister."

This answer startled me, even in the instant I heard it, I recognized it was Souren Manranyama's voice.

As my vision slowly recovered from the darkness, I vaguely saw Souren Manranyama's figure and noticed that she was sitting beside a girl named Fan who was calmly folding a handkerchief. Uesugi Yui was nowhere to be seen.

In this short period of time, I had a rough idea of what had happened, but the exact reason was still unclear.

"Why were both of you on the car as well?"

I joined them in hiding on the opposite side of the cargo box, to avoid exposing ourselves as soon as the door was opened.

After a short pause, Souren Manranyama answered my question.

"We came up because we were worried that Mr. Soko might miss this opportunity."

Worried that I might miss this opportunity?

If Souren Manranyama was lying, it wasn't a very clever lie.

Before investigating further, I needed to confirm Uesugi Yui's condition.

"What about the girl who came up before me? Did you do something to her?"

As I asked, I searched for Uesugi Yui's trace and finally saw her resting near the box. She was leaning against it, asleep.

As Mr. Soko said, to prevent Uesugi Yui from making a lot of noise and attracting unnecessary trouble, Fan had asked her to sleep for a while. Please rest assured." Souren Manranyama explained with a smile.

Within such a short time, Uesugi Yui fell asleep without me noticing... I didn't think Fan's methods were so advanced.

In other words, Fan used some external force, like...

As I thought about it, I remembered Fan's act of folding the handkerchief just now. Ah, I see, that handkerchief must have been soaked with...something, so things went smoothly and without a trace.

"Don't do this again, otherwise I'll be angry, Miss Manran Mountains."

Originally, I only intended to say "Don't do this again," but I don't know why I added the second half. While I relinquished control of my body for a while, it seemed that an indescribable emotion quietly sneaked in.

"Furthermore, with today's behavior, you're not acting as someone's representative, Miss Manran Mountains."

Based on my knowledge of Souren Manranyama and her intelligence, she shouldn't have done something like this. For example, nobody would personally drive a car or take a train or plane after entrusting a package to a courier. It contradicts the nature of entrusting.

Not to boast, but is it really necessary to go to such great lengths for something of this level?

I couldn't help but start speculating about Souren Manranyama's true intention.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Soko, I only came along because I was worried, please forgive the inconvenience caused." Souren Manranyama replied with her stoic expression.

For this type of poker-faced person, you need to stimulate their nerves with a slightly different approach.

"After all, the client is the guest, and the guest is like a god - they can do whatever they want."

I tried to finish this sentence with a slightly rogue tone. If it didn't work well enough, I would gradually add more. After all, if I really managed to anger Souren Manranyama here, I would be the unluckiest person.

Souren Manranyama didn't react for a while, so I added one more sentence.

"Shouldn't the upper class occasionally understand the hardships of the common people?"

This sentence was like a spark that ignited Souren Manranyama's powder keg. She exploded with a bang.

"Is Mr. Soko expecting me to say something like, 'I didn't come because I was worried about you, humph!'"

As Souren Manranyama's words mixed with a tone of tsundere that I had never heard before, I was covered in goosebumps when I finally came back to my senses."Ahem, sorry for my behavior," Souren Manranyama feigned a cough, implying that I should just pretend that nothing had happened earlier.

It seems that everyone can lose their composure at times.

However, intentionally or not, the initiative of the conversation fell into Souren Manranyama's hands.

I can only assume that Souren Manranyama has other plans in mind, and I shouldn't delve into it further, or else this matter might not have any further development.

But...

From just the two of us, the group suddenly expanded to four people, with a combination of one man and three women. It instantly felt like the difficulty level of the task had escalated from challenging to hellish.
