"Mom!" Mahiru shouted to her mom that was being blocked by the woman that was pretending to be an official.

"Are you willing to be more cooperative now?" the woman arrogantly looked at Matsuri whose face was failing to remain calm.

"AHH!" Mahiru's face was painted with pain after her arm was twisted.
