Chapter
five: Guests
The next morning, Basil and Kohana were sneaking around the manor. They
were creeping down the hall when they heard the doorbell ring.
Curiosity
filled them. So the girls tiptoed to the living room. “I’m coming.”
Basil’s
mom said as she hurried to the door. Basil and Kohana watched as the
door
opened. A man dressed in black with a girl looking about twelve dressed
in pink were at the door. “Who are they?” the princess whispered. “I
don’t
know.” Basil answered softly. “Ah. Shunji-san. Come right on in. My
husband
will be right with you.” her mom said proudly. The man and the girl
followed
behind Joobarausagi-san. “Why are they here?” the girls wondered. So
they
decided to spy.
When Basil and Kohana moved to get a better view, Joshu was sitting
with
Shuji-san and the young girl. The two men talked are money and
finances.
The girls would have gotten away with spying if Kohana hadn’t fallen
down.
Joshu, Shuji-san, and the girl looked up. They saw Kohana and Basil.
“Oh
Shunji-san. This is my daughter, Basil, and her friend, princess
Tsukibara.”
said Joshu. Basil just bowed. Kohana got up off the ground and bowed.
While the men talked, Basil and Kohana played with the girl. When the
guests
left, Basil promised not to spy next time.
