I have some free time since I don't have cram school today. Wanna go hang out somewhere?

Then, wanna check out that new shop that opened up by the station? I've been meaning to go.

Huff... Huff...

(Looks like everyone's going home... But where's Mafuyu...?)

*Sigh*

Days when we don't have club are so boring. I never have anything to do at home.

What do you mean?

You could do your homework or work on something else, right?

I thought Asahina was your hero.

Doesn't that mean you should be giving your studies the same attention you give club?

...!

(Those girls. Does that mean they're...?)

Um, excuse me.

Do you happen to know Mafu... Asahina?

Huh? Um... We're in the archery club together...

Hey...!

You shouldn't be telling strangers that!

If you don't mind me asking...

You don't look like you go to this school. What is she to you?

(Whoa, up go the shields...!

But I can't really blame them...)

Um, I'm sorry.

The thing is...

Ena...?

Oh, hello.

I wasn't expecting to see you here.

Airi! Shizuku!

Hinomori?!

Do you know this person?

Yes, she's my friend.

O-Oh, I didn't know.

Then, that must mean Asahina's also...

Yeah, I think you get the picture.

So, do any of you know if she's still at school?

Um... We haven't actually seen her today since we didn't have club...

Which means she probably left already.

She usually has to go home to study whenever we don't have archery club...

I see...

I'm sorry for scaring you two like that. And thank you for answering.

No, we apologize for reacting the way we did. Thank you two as well, Hinomori, Momoi.

Yes, of course. Please get home safe.

So, Ena, you were looking for Asahina...?

Oh, yeah...

There was something I wanted to ask her...

Wait a second!

Did either of you two talk to her today?

No, not me...

We weren't actually at school in the morning because of a meeting for work...

Yes, I haven't seen her today either...

I see...

(As much as I want to ask them about her phone or how she is... I don't want them to worry needlessly...)

Thanks, you two.

I need to get going now.

Yeah, sure.

We were just about to head to the studio for practice anyway.

I hope we can chat again sometime, Ena.

Yeah, me too!

(If she's already on her way home, Mizuki might run into her at the station!)

Mizuki! Any luck over there?

<No, there's too many people. I'm never gonna find her here.>

Okay...

I didn't find her over here either.

I tried asking some Miya Girls students about her just now, but they said she's already gone home.

<Really...?>

(Seriously, where is she? And why hasn't she tried to contact us...?)

<I'll check the diner just in case.

There's a chance that she'll stop there before going home.>

Okay, thanks!

I'll meet you there.

<Got it!>

*Sigh*

Alright, I'm here. Our usual diner...

(But I'm not seeing Mafuyu anywhere...)

(Nor anyone else I recognize...

Did Mizuki start looking somewhere else already?)

<...na.

Ena.>

Hm? That voice...

(Okay, no one will see here...)

Len...? Is that you? Are you here?

Oh, Rin, you're with here too.

<Yeah...

We came to tell you that the others found Mafuyu.>

Really?! Where is she?!

<The park along her way home...

Miku and KAITO said they found her after finally managing to reach her phone.>

Okay, then...

That's a relief...

<B-But...

Something else happened that's worrying us...>

What?!

She's gonna tell her mom how she really feels...?!

<That's what KAITO said...>

(I was hoping that she would someday... Not right now...)

<Ena...

Kanade and Mizuki said they're gonna go home for now.>

They are...?

Then, I guess I should too...

<Wait, Ena, what about school...?>

Oh... I left my bag at home, so I just won't go today...

(I mean, I wouldn't be able to focus during class... Not with Mafuyu's problems on my mind...)

Rin, Len, thanks for letting me know what's going on.

<Um... We'll come back if we hear any further news.>

Okay, thanks.

*Sigh*

Alright, I should head home...

(Mafuyu...)

(I hope you actually go through with telling your mom how you really feel...)
