Tachibana and her two friends walked along the riverbank, step by step searching for any trace of Shirakawa Sawahei. The fireworks festival had already ended, and people were gradually leaving in small groups, making the riverside more and more empty.
"Do you think Shirakawa and Konatsuori are watching the fireworks somewhere?" the slacker girl said, frustrated. "We've been looking for a while now, but still no sign of them... Konatsuori should be slow, right? How could she possibly run faster than us?"
"Could it be that Shirakawa is taking advantage of Kaori again?" Tsukimi Sakurazawa said angrily. "That perverted old man, I knew it was suspicious for him to take Kaori to treat her wound alone!"
"I don't think so..." Tachibana said quietly. "Shirakawa might also be looking for us and just missed us..."
"Hmm... It's not impossible..." cute little Ise Yu said, touching her chin. "Since there are fewer people now, why not just call him?"
