In that timeline, I expect it would have unfolded something like this:

"I am her mistress, monsieur. Is there a problem?"

(man vociferously explains what the problem is, including a lecture about how Remilia needs to keep her servants on a tighter leash if she can't manage to teach them to know their place when she's not around)

"I see. Sakuya, I'm very disappointed in you. You should have resolved this situation yourself before I ever needed to become involved."

"Yes, m'lady. I'm very sorry, m'lady."

"Now, do you know what you have to do?"

"Of course, m'lady."

"Very good. Kindly get on with it, then. This gentleman doesn't have all day, and neither do I."

"Right away, m'lady."

(Sakuya and the shopping disappear. As do the man's trousers. At his involuntary shout of surprise and dismay, everyone in the lobby turns to look, then stares in disbelieving horror at what lies revealed.)

"Oh my, monsieur. What is it our Alban friends call this style? 'Going regimental', I believe?"

(The policeman standing around in the corner of the lobby takes an interest. Not in that way. Well, possibly in that way, but also in the sense of his professional duties.)

(The lift arrives with perfect timing, enabling Remilia to drop her parting remarks as she breezes aboard and disappears, just before the policeman arrives.)

"Next time, perhaps you'll remember to mind your own business. Bonne après-midi, monsieur. Third floor, if you please, mademoiselle..."

>"Whatever the local equivalent of unemployment might be I suspect."

He doesn't even work there! He was just in the lobby because he'd had a lunch meeting in one of the hotel's restaurants with someone who was staying there.

Sakuya briefly considered tying a jaunty red bow around the appropriate(??) bit as a sort of crowning touch, but couldn't figure out how to do that without touching it and abandoned the idea
