"Is that a speaker?" I puzzled, pushing the rest of the way into the room, staring at what was apparently some kind of radio. "And why is it a duck?"

"Why Emiya-kun!" Miya sounded innocently aghast. "It seems you've found out the truth. Mister Duckie so loves to tell other people's secrets."

"Apparently it links up to some of Matsu's bugs," Homura at least had the grace to sound sheepish. "Miya tends to like using it to help keep track of some of Izumo House."

"Kuu-chan! Make sure to wash your hair," Kazehana scolded, laughing at something that was happening in the bathroom.

"Kuu-chan doesn't wanna!" the Green Girl declared.

"Now, now," Saber chided gently. "It's unseemly for young girls to be dirty."

"Uhhhh," Kuu groaned, but apparently she was already charmed by Saber enough to give in.

"What is it with you aliens and your inability to grasp the word 'privacy'?" I wondered, giving an exasperated sigh as Miya just smiled innocently at me. Somehow, it didn't even surprise me. Miya always had seemed to know a little too much about what was going on in Izumo House, like when she had known that I had Matsu collecting portfolios and other things like that.

"Now, now, Emiya-kun," Miya still had that innocent look on her face. "It's my duty as the landlady to make sure that nothing prohibited is going on!"

"So that's why you let Rin and Saber go ahead," I snapped, ignoring Miya's justification. I wasn't going to get anywhere trying to call her on it. "So you could spy on them…"

"Why, I wouldn't call it spying," Miya dodged the issue, but her eyes did narrow briefly. Miya had disappeared shortly after she had sent Rin and Saber ahead. She must have been listening in on them when they had thought their conversation would be private. Since the landlady didn't seem to disturbed, I imagine whatever they were talking about hadn't been too outrageous. At least, not something that would affect Izumo House as a whole anyway.

"You're right," I nodded, deciding that not to ask Miya what the two had discussed. Instead, I felt a smile start to form as I gave the lavenderette a wide, innocent smile of my own. "Why, if I had to put a word to something like this, I would have to go with 'peeping' myself."

Miya winced, and at the side Homura's eye's widened, before she quickly turned aside, one hand coming up to cover her mouth, much in the same way she had after she had figured out Rin's personality.

"Che," Rin's voice sounded annoyed. "It sure has gotten crowded in here."

"Now, now!" Kazehana laughed heartily. It sounded like she had already gotten a head start on the evening's drinking. "Don't be like that! Let's have a nice chat amongst ourselves naked, as women!"

"Emiya-kun," Miya sounded slightly pained at the word I had chosen for her bad habit. "I wouldn't use that word myself…"

"Now, now, Miya," I interrupted blithely in a reassuring voice. "Just because you have a peeping habit isn't bad. I mean, Matsu had one too, and look how she turned out." I imagined my words as invisible arrows, and the way Miya flinched at having been compared to the perverted hacker indicated that those arrows had struck home.
