Now, this problem can be solved by...

2
Character icon
Mafuyu

(She knows everything...)

3
Character icon
Mafuyu

(About our music, my grades... Kanade...)

4
Character icon
Mafuyu

(All of it...)

5
Character icon
Mafuyu

(I don't think there's any point in lying to her anymore...)

6
Character icon
Mafuyu

(She'll probably see right through me...)

7
Character icon
Mafuyu

(What do I do...?)

8
Character icon
Mafuyu

(Should I do as she says...?

And quit N25...?)

9
Character icon
Mafuyu

(But...)

10
Character icon
Mafuyu

(If I do that, I won't get to see everyone... Or go to SEKAI...)

11
Character icon
Mafuyu

(I won't get to see Miku or the others...)

12
Character icon
Teacher

Let's see... Asahina, try solving this one for us.

13
Character icon
Mafuyu

Oh...

14
Character icon
Mafuyu

Okay.

15
Character icon
Classmate A

Hey, Mafuyu!

Wanna have lunch in the courtyard with us?

16
Character icon
Mafuyu

Oh...

17
Character icon
Mafuyu

Sorry...

I'll be eating by myself today. There's something I need to do.

18
Character icon
Classmate B

Okay, that's too bad!

I guess you have been pretty busy lately.

19
Character icon
Mafuyu

I'm really sorry.

I hope you'll invite me again some other time.

20
Character icon
Classmate A

Sure thing! See you later!

21
Character icon
Mafuyu

(Something I need to do...)

22
Character icon
Mafuyu

(The others are probably working right now...)

23
Character icon
Mafuyu

(I wish I could work with them...)

24
Character icon
Mafuyu

(My phone's still unresponsive...)

25
Character icon
Mafuyu

(It managed to get power this morning, but it's still stuck on the home screen.)

26
Character icon
Mafuyu

(Which means I can't use Nightcord...)

27
Character icon
Mafuyu's Mother

Like I just said, this won't do you any good right now. Why can't you see that...?!

28
Character icon
Mafuyu

...

29
Character icon
Mafuyu's Mother

All I'm trying to do is make sure you have the best future possible...

30
Character icon
Mafuyu

She cares about me...

31
Character icon
Mafuyu

Right...?

32
Character icon
Mafuyu

(D-Does she actually have my best interests in mind...?)

33
Character icon
Mafuyu

(Yes, studying is important.)

34
Character icon
Mafuyu

(But... But I care about everyone in N25...)

35
Character icon
KAITO

She's doing everything she can to destroy who you really are. How can you even think about showing her any mercy?

36
Character icon
Mafuyu

(Destroy who I really am...)

37
Character icon
Mafuyu

(No, she wouldn't try to...)

38
Character icon
Mafuyu

(But...)

39
Character icon
Mafuyu

(That doesn't explain why she keeps taking everything away from me.)

40
Character icon
Mafuyu

(Why is that...?)

A few hours later
Empty SEKAI
41
Character icon
Kanade

Mafuyu didn't end up joining us during lunch...

42
Character icon
Mizuki

Without saying a word too. Something's gotta be up. You don't think...?

43
Character icon
Ena

Her mom probably did something again...

What if she finally decided to take away her phone...?

44
Character icon
Kanade

...

45
Character icon
Kanade

I don't know, but let's all take a step back for a second...

46
Character icon
Kanade

Miku went to see what's going on, so I'm sure she'll have some news for us soon.

47
Character icon
Mizuki

Right...

I really hope everything's okay...

48
Character icon
Miku

Everyone...

49
Character icon
Ena

Miku...!

50
Character icon
Kanade

How's Mafuyu? Is she okay?

51
Character icon
Miku

...

52
Character icon
Miku

I don't know...

53
Character icon
Mizuki

What?

54
Character icon
Miku

I couldn't reach her phone.

55
Character icon
Ena

You couldn't reach it...?

What do you mean? Why?

56
Character icon
Miku

I'm not sure...

57
Character icon
MEIKO

Something may've happened to her phone.

58
Character icon
MEIKO

We're able to see what's going on over in your world by using the functionality of your phones.

59
Character icon
Ena

So, does this mean her phone's broken?

60
Character icon
Mizuki

B-But, I mean... Now?

That seems like way too big a coincidence.

61
Character icon
Kanade

...

62
Character icon
Kanade

I'm going to go look for Mafuyu.

63
Character icon
Ena

Kanade...

64
Character icon
Ena

I'm going too...

Not being able to reach her means something's definitely wrong.

65
Character icon
Mizuki

Still, where?

I guess her house is the best place to start...

66
Character icon
Mizuki

But we don't know where she lives.

67
Character icon
Kanade

Regardless, I'll try some places where she'll most likely be. We might be able to find her if all three of us look...

68
Character icon
Ena

Then, I'll try Miya Girls.

She might still be at school.

69
Character icon
Mizuki

Okay, I'll check the station.

We run into each other a lot there on her way home from cram school.

70
Character icon
Kanade

Okay, thank you both.

71
Character icon
KAITO

...

72
Character icon
Miku

I'll try going over to her phone again...

73
Character icon
Miku

But I don't know if it's going to work...

74
Character icon
KAITO

Wait.

75
Character icon
Kanade

Huh...?

76
Character icon
KAITO

I'm going with you.
