Laplus pov: "Takane Lui, where are you?" I yelled to no reply

I knew I was being lied to by the bodyguard and by the scientist; there is no way Lui and that dumb intern weren't her.

"Hey Laplus...." my bodyguard said.

"Oh, what do you want?" I asked

"You could at least say my name." She was annoyed.

"Yes, you are Iboka, right?" I asked

"It's Kazuma Iroha." Iroha scoffed

"What are you talking about?" The scientist asked

"She forgot my name..." Iroha sighed

"Wait, really, that's funny!" Koyori laughed

"I remember you as Haiku Koyori," I said.

"Close, it's Hakui," Koyori stated.

I screamed loudly. Names that aren't Takane Lui are so hard to understand that I don't want to know anyone else's name; they aren't as important as Takane Lui is.

"Wow, that's what you think about us?" Koyori stated

"W-what!?" I said it in shock.

"I took a mind-reading pill... Koyori said

Okay, I need to stop thinking about how annoying they all are besides Lui, especially the intern.

"What's the intern's name?" Koyori asked

"Sakamuta Choe?" I said confidently.

"I mean, not bad," Iroha said.

"See, I got it right!" I laughed

"No, it's really wrong," Koyori said.

"Badly so," Iroha explained.

"Well, her name is so hard to learn..." I spat

"It's Sakamata Chloe, a simple name." Iroha sighed

She thinks that's simple. I already forgot that name because it was so plain unlike Takane Lui's, the intern's name was Boting Sakamata. Chloe is a name that everyone must have.

"Do you have a crush on Lui?" Koyori asked

"Me no!" I said abruptly.

"Who is your favorite person?" Iroha asked

"Takane Lui!" I said happily.

"Who do you rely on?" Koyori questioned

"Obviously Takane Lui!" I said

"Who do you trust?" Iroha inquired

"Definitely no one but Takane Lui!" I shouted

Everyone but Takane Lui makes me sick to my stomach. I think my status goes Lui, Koyori, Iroha, and then Chloe is at the absolute bottom.

"Oh, I'm second best." Koyori said

"Second best at what?" Iroha asked

"I'm her second favorite," Koyori said.

"So I assume I'm only third..." Iroha sighed

I didn't get how she knew she wasn't fourth; there was no way to figure that out. I could like the intern more than her; she doesn't know.

"You hate Chloe," Koyori said.

I hate that Koyori can read my mind; all my thoughts are now public domain, and I don't have good things to think about my subordinates; they are all annoying besides Lui.
