The sun shone high above, and so the friends decided to take Ruanna to a vast resort. Unlike the private Nemea family resort, this place was alive with energy, filled with the joyful bustle of countless people. (Yes, I know there are hardly any other characters here, but just imagine it crowded… limitations of my PC, sorry hahaha.)
As always, the two friends wore their lovely swimsuits, and Ammae’s older sister was no exception, showing off a one-piece bodysuit—sensual and provocative. Throughout the day they took photos, played, and chatted about all kinds of things: school, work, family, and above all, the dangerous cases Ammae’s sister had solved. Listening to her thrilling stories, Emily understood why Ammae admired her so much... but now the time had come—the moment for Emily to set her long-planned scheme into motion.
She interrupted Ammae, asking her to come along to get something to eat and drink. Ammae, delighted, went with her, while Ruanna smiled at the sight of her little sister so happy. And not only that—Emily seemed to have earned her trust. After all, Emily was the queen of manipulators. They approached a resort employee to order three drinks and a pizza. As soon as the drinks were handed over, Emily tricked Ammae into looking the other way. Taking advantage of the moment, she mixed her "special brew" into two of the cups.
The pizza was ready, as were the drinks. Emily asked Ammae to carry them back and to set aside the one on the left, claiming it was hers. Her cheerful friend agreed, and they returned to Ruanna. Everything was carefully planned—Ammae had to be the one to carry the drinks so as not to raise suspicion in her older sister. Once back, they resumed their lively conversation, drinking eagerly, parched after hours under the sun. But Emily had no idea things would not go as she intended.
When Ruanna took a sip, she immediately noticed a strange taste. She held the liquid in her mouth without swallowing, sniffed the straw... it was adulterated! Without hesitation, she spat the liquid to the side and shouted for Ammae to stop drinking at once. But Ammae had already consumed half the glass. Ruanna turned to Emily—and was stunned. The young girl lay slumped in her chair, motionless.
Ammae leapt up to reach her friend. Despite calling out to her, Emily did not respond. In desperation, Ammae began to cry, but her older sister, checking Emily’s pulse, realized she was not dead. This eased Ammae’s panic, though for Ruanna it was another matter. To her, this could be the work of enemies whose plans she had thwarted in the past. With caution, Ruanna decided to take Emily to a hospital before investigating further.
And what happened then, you may wonder? The answer is simple: Ammae was the culprit. When Emily asked her to carry the drinks and set aside her own, Ammae did so—but upon returning to her sister, the sweet girl was so excited that she forgot which cup belonged to her friend and swapped them. In other words, Emily drank the one meant for Ammae. Since her "special brew" had been sweetened to go unnoticed, she never realized she was consuming her own poison. Poor Emily—sometimes things don’t turn out the way we expect, do they?
And so it all ended—Emily in the hospital, her best friend saying goodbye to her older sister, and Ruanna, whose vacation days were coming to an end, leaving everything prepared for imperial officials to investigate the case of the adulterated drinks. Then she departed, heading toward a new mission... but this would not be the last time we hear of her. The mischievous Emily will have another chance in the future; all she can do now is wait, patiently, like the predator she truly is.
