Muku | Neither Shifuto-kun nor Tsumugi-san are picking up our calls... What is going on? |
Haruto | Geez, where the hell did they go? |
Muku | I asked the rest of the Company to look out for them and to message us if they see them, but... |
| Tsumugi-san was acting a little strange before he went missing... |
| W-What do we do? What if they got wrapped up in something bad?! |
Haruto | Hey, don't jinx them. Anyway, I think they'll be fine. They can stand up for themselves. |
Muku | ...Yes, they must be okay! |
| *message blip* |
Haruto | Hm? |
| ! |
| Shifuto DMed me! |
Muku | Really?! |
Shifuto Sorry I couldn't pick up |
Shifuto Dunno where I am rn tbh |
Shifuto I think we're being held somewhere |
Shifuto Mankai Company's Tsumugi-san is also here with me |
Haruto | He's being held somewhere. Tsukioka's with him, too. |
Muku | W-W-What? Held where? And Tsumugi-san's there, too?! |
Haruto | What the hell's going on? ...Wait. |
Shifuto Dunno what's going on but I know the guy that trapped us here |
Shifuto We're not hurt btw |
Muku | Oh, that's good. I'm glad they're not hurt... |
Haruto | Don't you think this is a little weird? What kind of kidnapper leaves their victim with their phone? |
Muku | ! |
| Now that you mention it... |
Haruto | I'll tell him to prove that he really is Shifuto. |
| |
Shifuto | Haruto-san wants me to prove that I'm me? In this economy? |
Tsumugi | Quiet, Shifuto-kun...! |
Shifuto | Oh, sorry... |
Tsumugi | Our captors might still be outside, so we need to keep our voices down. |
| Maybe Haruto-kun thinks that the kidnapper is using your phone to pretend to be you. |
| My phone was taken, so Haruto-kun's theory isn't exactly baseless. |
Shifuto | (sigh) Doesn't help that he's naturally paranoid, either. |
Tsumugi | Hmm, how can we prove that it's really us...? |
| Oh, I have an idea! |
| |
Kumon | Ah! Mukuuuu! |
Muku | Kyu-chan! |
Omi | Oh, good. I'm glad you were close by |
Haruto | What are you guys in such a rush for? |
Kumon | Shifuto's streaming on Instelive! |
Muku | What?! |
Omi | He only just started. |
Haruto | ! |
| He DMed me again. |
Shifuto Come watch my Instelive! |
Muku | So, it really was him! Thank goodness. |
Haruto | He should've just done this to begin with... |
| They're not talking at all on stream, though... What are they doing? |
Muku | Miming, maybe? Tsumugi-san's really good at miming. |
Omi | I guess they figured that they had to do something for the camera, otherwise it'd look really weird. |
Kumon | Yeah. I guess they can't really talk either, being locked up and all. |
Instelive stream | *meow* |
Kumon | Huh? Is it me, or was there a meow just then? |
Muku | ! |
| That was...! |
Haruto | I've heard that meow somewhere before... It's that statue at Veludoland, isn't it? |
Muku | Kyu-chan! I'm going to go save Tsumugi-san! |
| *Muku runs off* |
Kumon | Wait! Muku! |
Haruto | I'll go with Sakisaka. I need to get that idiot Shifuto back here, anyway. |
Omi | All right. Kumon, let's go and tell the Director and everyone else about what happened. |
Kumon | Aight! I'll leave Muku to you then, Haruto-san! |
