Whew! That was so much fun!

<I had fun too...!

Whizzing around on those rides was so amazing.>

<I agree. I was a bit startled, but we also got to see some beautiful sights.>

I'm glad you guys liked it, but I could really go for a quick break now...

Me too...

I'm going to get something to drink...

Yeah, go for it♪

Ena, Kanade, there's a nice bench just over there, so let's wait for Mafuyu there.

Sure, sounds good...

Phew...

You two, okay?

Was that roller coaster a bit too much?

No, it's not that.

But I hadn't gone on it such a long time...

I kept asking myself, “Was this thing always so scary?”

Haha! To be fair, it got a bit of a facelift to make it more thrilling than before!

Still...

While we screamed our lungs out, Mafuyu just sat there like nothing was happening.

I mean, not knowing what she's thinking is sort of par for the course, but I feel like she's been spacing out a lot today, you know?

I agree... Could it be that skipping her practice exam is bothering her more than we realize?

Yeah...

(But she came all this way to join us, so I really want her to have some fun at least...)

Also, where is she...?

Huh? It hasn't been that long, but maybe she's waiting in line to make her purchase.

Waiting in line...? I see two or three people tops... There, look...

Hm? Whoa, you're right!

The shop's literally right there.

So, Mafuyu's...

Not in line there it seems.

Wait, I remember now!

I think she went off in the other direction...!

What? Seriously, where's her head at today...?

But for now, let's just give her a little more time and be patient. I'm sure Miku and Len are with her too.

...

Are you worried about her, Kanade...?

Yes. Today's one thing, but she was also acting a bit strange the last time we spoke in SEKAI...

Oh...

(Her mom found out that she saved that synthesizer and was still using it, which probably led to a really unpleasant conversation...)

(And when we met up with her today...)

(The way she said, “I don't know...” She seems totally conflicted and unable to think clearly.)

(I know Miku and Len are with her, but given her current state, maybe it isn't such a good idea to leave her alone right now.)

Hey, I'm gonna try looking for Mafuyu.

Wait, you're gonna look for her...?

I'll be fine. I just have to call her and ask about her general surroundings...

Hm? I just got a message...

Oh, it's from Mafuyu...

Really?! What'd she say?

She said... <I think I'm lost.>

You're kidding, right?

She's a high-schooler, not some little kid...

Let's cut her some slack for now.

Kanade, mind telling her to just stay put? Also, can you ask about what she sees around her?

Okay, will do.

Ugh...

Alright, let's find her together.

That's great and all, but are you two sure you don't want to rest for a bit longer?

I'm okay now, Mizuki, but I appreciate the thought.

Same. If anything, waiting around is starting to make my blood boil.

Oh, Mafuyu just replied...

So, it sounds like she's close to Phenny's shop.

Oh, I think I remember seeing it while we made our way towards the roller coaster!

Alright, Mafuyu's waiting for us, so let's get a move on!

Okay.

(There probably isn't a whole lot I can do, but I wanna do what I can for Mafuyu...)
