Summary
Chiaki, once again in a bad mood, thinks to herself that she really is much too sober for this assignment and gets ready to deny entry. However, Iori pleads insistently before Chiaki can voice any arguments about compromising security, saying that her friend is completely harmless and afraid of everyone since her attack. Placing a dainty hand on Chiaki’s scarred Shield, Iori begs her to please not think ill of her friend.
Chiaki relents and orders Iori to stand behind her while she confirms the situation outside the door, warning the idol that she’ll let her friend in but that she shouldn’t expect more from her. Iori thanks her and stands aside as Chiaki opens the door slightly. Everything is normal outside, the guards are standing at their posts and the hulking guard that Chiaki had previously roughed up is escorting Yayoi. Chiaki remarks to herself how tiny the auburn haired girl looks standing next to the muscular guard; a haunted and tired shadow of her former self. She opens the door further to allow entry. Yayoi is alarmed at the sight of Chiaki while the guard scowls at her. Chiaki points at the idol and waves her in. Yayoi looks up at the guard uncertainly before stepping forward gingerly, cautiously at which point Chiaki loses her patience and grabs the girl roughly by the wrist, nearly making her cry, and yanks her into the room as she slams the door.
Yayoi nearly stumbles over her feet as she’s dragged into the room, crying out in fear and surprise. Iori protests that Chiaki is hurting her friend, but the black-haired girl is focused on patting down the room’s newest guest, searching her for weapons. Chiaki is so focused on her job that she does not notice Iori walking up to her until she feels the stinging slap on her cheek. Iori is screaming now, taking the crying and terrified Yayoi into her arms, as she berates Chiaki for going back on what they had agreed on.
