Playing at an escort


 * Sein replaces Rei so that Rei can get a 2-hour break.
 * Business is still busy at the café but it has calmed down since it first opened.
 * While thinking through her options of what to do, Rei realizes that the people she could be with are still working.
 * By chance, Claire happens to be on break at the same time as Rei.
 * Claire is also still revolted at having to serve customers.
 * Rei automatically goes to help Claire change into her clothes.
 * Rei compliments how well Claire handled her job.
 * Claire responds that she must keep up with appearances due to her position.
 * Rei comments that suppressing emotions seems necessary as Claire has had many opportunities to dine with foreign leaders, especially if she found them unpleasant.
 * Rei comments that she likes the honest Claire the most but Claire calls it a "hopeless personality."
 * Fans of Revolution have always described Claire to be selfish, haughty, ruthless with power and an unpleasant lady.
 * But fans are surprised at how harsh Claire's self-deprecation can be.
 * Claire realizes that she is showing her vulnerable side to Rei.
 * She changes the subject by asking Rei to dress quickly to keep her company during their break.
 * Rei also uses this as an opportunity to flirt with her while still in butler attire.
 * Rei leads Claire around the academy by the hand.
 * On their walk, Rei notes how you can tell nobles and commoners apart despite their neat outfits.
 * Claire frowned because she dislikes commoners but didn't complain.
 * Rei easily gets Claire into a haunted house by utilizing their handholding.
 * Claire easily clung to Rei the entire time.
 * Afterwards, they rested in the courtyard need flowerbeds of various spring colors that recently bloomed.
 * After buying Claire water, Rei presents her with an amulet, a magical gem set in the center of silverwork.
 * It carried the effect of Love fulfillment.
 * With festival rules similar to the temples and shrines of Japan, the Spirit Church sells similar gifts.
 * The refreshments belonged to the academy branch of the church.
 * Claire finds the gift strange but asks if Rei is honest with her feelings despite supporting Claire's feelings for Sein.
 * She plays with amulet in her hand but looked lonesome.
 * She questions why Rei would go that far for her.
 * Rei responds with, "Because you saved my heart."
 * In Rei's previous life, she spent every day without dreams or hopes.
 * She worked endlessly for a black company then went straight to bed.
 * With no path, games were her only support.
 * Revolution was her most reliable and enjoyable.
 * She appreciated it so much, she cut sleep to create fan fictions to share Claire with the world.
 * She believes, with no exaggeration, Claire to be her life's blessing.
 * Claire breaks Rei out of her thought, unconvinced that she saved Rei.
 * Rei uses this as another opportunity to flirt, asking for a hug and a kiss.
 * She berates herself for making a joke out of the situation.
 * Claire tells Rei that they need to head back but refuses Rei's hand.
 * When reflecting on the day, Rei didn't realize two things:
 * The amulet was accepted.
 * Claire had a disappointed look on her face.
