Preparing to contact Asuka Jr. with 連絡
Takamiya suspects Meimi is the magical thief Saint Tail. When Meimi is asked to model a wedding dress for a design contest where Saint Tail is going to appear, Takamiya decides to keep a close eye on her at the event. As Takamiya looks around the dressing room, Meimi asks what she’s doing.

Key Points
1連絡をとる = make contact
- Here 連絡 means making contact with someone.
- アスカと 連絡をとる means “contact Asuka”.
- The particle と marks the person Takamiya will be in contact with, and を marks 連絡 as the thing being made or established.
2ことになってる shows an arranged or decided plan
- アスカと 連絡をとることになってる means “it’s been arranged that I’ll contact Asuka”.
- This is the casual spoken form of ことになっている.
- It suggests an external arrangement or understood plan, not just a spur-of-the-moment personal decision.
3Sentence-ending の adds explanatory tone
- The final の makes her line sound explanatory, like she is giving the reason for looking for the phone.
