Regardless of what Aneun found, who Akuseru suspected wasn't actually looking for any terrorists and instead was trying to eavesdrop on civilians, the party would arrive at their destination after walking two more blocks. The benefit of the doubt wasn't something Aneun would have from Akuseru in this scenario.
The hotel had exceeded the boy's expectations. It was a massive skyscraper, one of the tallest buildings in the city, and everything about its architecture and design screamed "expensive." The trio wouldn't see that though, they would likely only see one big target. Akuseru's head had dug into his palm as he entered the building.
"We're looking for the Daiymo's security detail—they were supposed to meet us somewhere around here?" Akuseru asked the receptionist as his eyes began to scan the large hotel lobby. The woman who appeared very busy as she was taking multiple phonecalls simultaneously managed to point her pen towards a corner where a group of burly men stood. Akuseru scratched the back of his head before moving towards the group.
"Uh. . . Is this the security detail for the Daiymo's wife?" The Genin asked awkwardly to the backs of many tall, muscle bound men who dressed in black suits. Suddenly their heads all turned in unison and stared down at the trio.
"Yeah! Who is asking? Are you a terrorist?!" A small girl, no taller than five feet, pushed her way through the crowd of men. Her attire didn't adhere to the same strict uniform as the others despite still being dressed in all black. She immediately questioned whether they were terrorists, as if a group of terrorists would announce their presence to her.
"Wait. Don't tell me you're the shinobi Konoha sent. Is this really the best they could do?!" One look was all it took for her disappointment to settle in. At first glance, the trio didn't seem like much. It was understandable why she would underestimate them. Normally Akuseru would respond with some witty comment on his own, but he was really baffled at the amount of respect these huge bodyguards seemed to give this tiny woman.
". . ." Akuseru turned to Jack, a habit he had developed whenever he was speechless. Didn't know what the hell was going on or what to say? Jack had an answer.
"Tch, I hadn't planned on relying on Shinobi anyways—I'll brief you on what we know and you can conduct your own investigation." She signaled for the trio to follow her into a nearby room.
