Great, we've got witnesses now! Look what you've done, Masuyama!
What do we do now?! Is it ok for people to disappear here? Is this place being watched? Could I kill them and get my Shadow Guards to replace them somehow?
Maybe we'll just stage an attempted assassination and claim that these two guards were also part of that group or something?
I think that might work! Should we just go with that--
"Lady Aster. It is an honour," One of the guards bowed.
Masuyama waved at them, "Ah yes. This is the first time both of you are meeting her, right? Aster, these two are also part of the group that Miss Emilia infiltrated into the palace to gain information. They're one of our people."

Couldn't anyone have told me this before I came here?! Do you know how hard I was panicking just now?! I almost killed them just to keep your secret, you know?!
