WHO: Shizuru Fujino, Reito Kanzaki, Mashiro Kazahana
Where: The Chairman's Mansion
When: Evening, July 27th after Searrs makes their announcement
What: Dealing with the Searrs Crisis!
"Chairman."
Both Reito and Shizuru bowed towards the eleven year old named Mashiro Kazahana as soon as the maid opened the door to let them into the chairman's office. Mashiro looked calm, especially when compared to the chaos that was going on outside. "Kanzaki-san, Fujino-san. I am glad to see that the two of you are both well." The girl's soft voice carried her concern and her relief to see that the two people she trusted most in this crisis were still alive and unharmed.
The younger pair smiled at her, their lips and faces locked in identical masks of controlled politeness. "Chairman, I find it difficult to believe that First District would d-." Shizuru was quickly cut off by a shake of the head by the young silver-lavender haired girl. "It wasn't First District. This just aired while you were making her way over here. Fumi." The pink haired maid simply nodded and picked up a remote control, playing back the message that Searrs had delivered to the multiverse as a whole.
"Searrs Corporation? The American company? What would they want with the HiME?" Reito sounded concerned and rightfully so. As junior members of First District, both he and Shizuru were aware of the HiMEs but Reito only had the barest of information to go on and Mashiro had always been tight lipped on the subject.
The chairman shook her head again, "I don't know. They will probably try to gather all the known HiME and then attempt to find out who the rest are. I need the two of you to help Kikukawa-san and the Student Council. Our first priority is to make sure that all of our students stay safe."
Shizuru and Reito looked at each other, golden eyes clashing with burgundy ones. A slight nod was all that indicated that they were in agreement and as one bowed again to Mashiro. "We will do what we can to help," the pair stated in unison. "But what about the outsiders? And taking care of Searrs?"
Mashiro shook her head again, smiling enigmatically, "I already have plans to take care of that. Wait for our message."
"Understood Chairman." Shizuru mentally sighed and gave Reito a small smile, "It will be like old times. I thought I saw Suzushiro-han in the Crystal Dome earlier. No doubt she's already gotten a head start on everything."
"You're right, she probably has." The pair shared a soft chuckle, the first and last they would have until the crisis ended, as they returned to the Academy.
