Rinko gave such an expression as she saw Kikuoka widen his eyes in shock, and took a step back from her assistant. The assistant stepped forward majestically, and used her right hand to take off the blond wig and the left hand to take off the large sunglasses. The hazel colored eyes stared right at Kikuoka as she said, “Where did you hide Kirito-kun?” An unfamiliar panic and shock ran through the Lieutenant Colonel as his disconcerted face rattled through various emotions and he continued to open and close his mouth, before finally whispering, “...I thought the identity of the researcher should have been checked thoroughly through the California Technical Institute’s database.” “Ehh, sensei and I had been searching the faces for a long time.” Asuna the «Flash», Yuuki Asuna, used the identity of Rinko’s assistant Mayumi Reynolds to disguise herself and sneak aboard the Ocean Turtle, and stared at Kikuoka straight in the eyes as she straightened herself and answered, “We merely switched the photo of the database a week ago to mine. We do have someone who’s very good in breaking through firewalls.” “On a side note, the real Mayumi is enjoying a sunbath in San Diego.”
