[player]I want to pick up a few pointers from you, as I think your mahjong skills go from strength to strength. I don't know if you'd give me the opportunity?
Mahjong is the mutual interest that we're most familiar with, and surely it won't be any problem using this as a way in. Sure enough, Chiori Mikami's expression immediately turns smug as soon as the words have left my mouth.
[Chiori Mikami]Hmph. So that's your plan. You know you're not the only one who wants to exchange mahjong tips with me. Whether or not you earn this privilege depends on your performance. Let's play!
[player]Bring it on!
To prove my worth, I enlist Ichihime and Riu Kujou, and together with Chiori Mikami we play an East Wind round. I have only mediocre luck today, however, and in the end I come second to Chiori Mikami.
[Chiori Mikami]Pff. Average skill at best, and no sign of progress since last time. I have no interest in comparing notes now. Let's call it a day, and I hope you don't lose too badly next time.
[player]Huh? Hang on, you aren't going to play anymore, Chiori?
[Chiori Mikami]I have other things to do today. Let's go, Riu.
The next day
The next day, I once again see the unbeatable Chiori Mikami at the Mahjong Soul Shrine, accompanied by Riu Kujou. I think back on yesterday's unfinished business, and quietly approach Riu to ask how things went after I left.

[Riu Kujou]Oh, you're still thinking of that? That's good of you.
[Riu Kujou]The matter's closed, but you still need to keep the existence of the scoundrel a secret from Miss Chiori, understand?
[player]Mmhmm, got it. Don't worry, I'll keep my mouth shut.
[Riu Kujou]Good.
I didn't expect Riu Kujou to get to the bottom of it all in just one day. Under the strictest confidence of the maid, this tale of Chiori Mikami will remain a secret to me forever.
