Ayia became a little flustered when she heard Kaori's question, but thankfully Shizuka came to the rescue.
"Yeah, we will take tomorrow's morning flight to the Heart Islands." Shizuka replied with a calm voice as she sipped her tea.
"Who's going with you guys?" Kaori asked again.
"Theo and his little sister Aurora, also our friends that work with us at the restaurant. With me and Ayia, there will be 13 people going on this trip." Shizuka calmly replied without getting affected by Kaori's hard questioning.
"Oh, there are a lot of people." Ezume commented.
Ayia regained her calmness as she replied, "Yeah, four of them you guys already know. It's Kumiko and the other three. I recommended them to Theo when he was searching for cooks to work in the restaurant. The others we met through Theo. But it feels like we know each other for years as we get along so well."
