[ Ai looks to Mami, then to Haruhi. The long talk about that was, to Ai, about the same thing that Mami had said. The only difference was that Mami seemed to think more of her than something that is to be used. That's something that Ai can view as a reason to actually accept their help, as caring about someone has been shown to cause them to be more trustworthy. She may not understand entirely, but she does know the facts. That Mami is there to say that is the reason she accepts instead of putting it off as she had with Hinata. ]

I'll accept, but I would like to ask one thing: is this an offer from you two or an offer from the SSS? If I'm not mistaken you're both considered members.
