...
The morning after the nighttime raid...
A sour mood envelops the Maid Club as they gather together in a large hallway in Millennium.
Asuna remains a bit annoyed.
Karin a bit embarrassed.
Akane a bit ashamed.
As for Neru...
"So let me get this straight..." The shortest maid begins. "All this was done by some club I've never even heard of, the 'Game Development Department'. And that bunch of shrimps pulled one over on all of ya. That right?"
"I have no excuse." Akane says, bowing slightly as she awaits punishment. "It was I who accepted the request and made the preparations. My failure has tarnished the Maid Club's reputation. I'm sorry."
"None of that crap matters at all." Neru says.
"I beg your pardon?" Akane asks, stading up right with her eyes wide.
"When I got here, Rio called me." The red headed maid says.
"You mean the president of Seminar- I mean, the Student Council?" Karin asks.
"The one and only." Neru grumbles. "She said the request is being withdrawn."
The other three maids gasp in surprise at that.
"But why?" The bespectacled maid asks.
"Hmm... All I can think of is that Rio or Himari wanted to test somethin'." Neru says.
"They were testing us?" Akane asks.
"Nah." Neru says, shaking her head negative. "Bet they wanted to know what that Aris girl is capable of. All right, then. This has nothin' to do with the request, but, Akane, I want you to look into this."
"Sorry? Look into what now?" Akane asks, confused.
"The Game Development Department." The short maid says.
"Hm? Why? Oh- for revenge?" Akane guesses.
"I'm not usually interested in dirty work like this, but we might as well take care of it." Neru says with a grin. "Once the investigation is wrapped up here, I've got a house call in store for those twerps."
"That sounds perfect." Akane agrees. "I imagine right now they're celebrating how they pulled one over on the Maid Club." She says, letting out a soft giggle. "I can't wait to see the look on their faces when we pay them a visit."

Meanwhile...
After we returned to Veritas after smashing through a few robots, we gave them the Mirror and returned to the Game Development Department club room. All of us took a nap, even Aris, who I forced to rest, despite not actually needing sleep at all.
The next morning, we were awoken by a scream.
"Hello, hello, Game Development Department gals! Miss Maki here's got a special something for ya!" Maki yells, waking us all up. "Whoa! Y'all were still asleep?"
I look over to see the red headed hacker back with the Game Girl. "Oh, hey Maki." I greet.
Maki stifles a laugh, causing me to look at her in confusion. She points downward.
I follow her finger and look down to see the twins both laying their heads on my lap as I sit on the couch. Aris and Yuzu are asleep, propped against bean bags.
I just let out a soft chuckle as I smile. "C'mon, you two. Wakey wakey." I say, gently grabbing the twins' shoulders and shaking them.
"Huh...? Wha...?" Momoi asks, blinking slowly.
