Seeing Akui hang his head low caused Kideme to frown, and she slowly slipped out of her seat, tightening her grip as well. "Akui..." She beckoned, sounding nervous now. "Huh..." She made a slight gasp as the truth started to flow from his lips, staring down at his drawn head. Things were worse than she'd imagined, yet at the same time not quite as severe as they could have been since things were quiet from an outside view. All the same though, it was bad news she wasn't prepared to hear, especially not from Akui. Her breathing slowed as she soaked in what she just heard and she brought a hand to her forehead, letting out a quiet sigh. The sudden influx of doubled revenue all made sense now, as well as the girls bitching about their pay and several other factors....that could easily be fixed, but this changed everything now.

"....But Akui, I was already proud of you. You were already a great asset by just being there." She didn't want to believe what she was hearing but now with no choice, she frowned toward him. "I thank you for catching Mamoru and I shall always be grateful to you for doing so....but....Why would you do such a thing? Did I not pay you enough? Did it seem like we were struggling? Were things that boring that you felt the need to shake it up? " Kideme walked up to him now, sinking down slightly to him to be eye level with him and grip his shoulders. "You're like family to me, Akui, and I trusted you. Do you realize what you could have done? I need you to tell me....how many people know about this?" Kideme's friendly demeanor was gone now, and she looked him straight in the eyes as she awaited his answer.
