| Izumi | (Even so, I wonder what that was just now. Where did those two go after that?) |
| *running footsteps* |
| (Hmm? Someone’s running this way...?) |
 |
| Mikami? | “Huff, huff...Wh, what should I do...!” |
| *door closes* |
| Izumi | (Now it’s Taichi-kun? As I thought, he’s wearing the costume from the Mixed Play performance...) |
| (He looks like he’s in a hurry, I wonder what happened. Let’s try to ask him) |
 |
| Mikami? | “It’s not here either...” |
| Izumi | Are you alright? Are you looking for something? |
| Mikami? | “Woah!?” |
| Izumi | Oh, umm, sorry. I didn’t mean to scare you. |
| Mikami? | “Eh, umm, it’s...” |
| Izumi | (Hmm, this feeling... Is this perhaps, the continuation of the etude with Banri-kun earlier?) |
| Mikami | “Ex, excuse me! Did you happen to find a lost earring around here?” |
| Izumi | An earring...? |
| (I see. Mikami doesn’t have an earring on one of his ears) |
| Mikami | “You don’t know, of course...Sorry for raising my voice suddenly.” |
| *door opens* |
 |
| Igarashi | “...Hmm?” |
| Izumi | (! It’s Igarashi this time...!) |
| Mikami | “Ex, excuse me! Did you happen to find a lost earring around here?” |
| Igarashi | “An earring, perhaps it’s this one?” |
| Mikami | “–! It’s this one!” |
| Igarashi | “I found it on the roadside earlier, so I picked it up. I was thinking of delivering it to a police box but—“ |
| “What, is it an important thing of yours?” |
 |
| Mikami | “Yeah. It’s from Kikukawa...Eh, umm, it’s from my partner who made this outfit, it’s an important item of mine.” |
| “I’m glad I found it...Thank you, thank you so much...!” |
| Igarashi | “You don’t need to thank me so much, I’m getting embarrassed here somehow.” |
| Izumi | I’m glad you found it safely. |
| Igarashi | “Yeah. Don’t lose it again, take good care of it.” |
| Mikami | “Yeah!” |
| “Ah, it’s time for the shooting...! The two of you, thank you so much!” |
| *door closes* |
| Igarashi | “There he goes. Haha, he come and goes like a storm.” |
| “Speaking of which, who are you?” |
| Izumi | Umm, just someone who happened to pass by... |
| (Right, speaking of lost items!) |
| Excuse me, speaking of lost item, I also picked up this key earlier. |
 |
| Izumi | Do you know anything about it? |
| Igarashi | “Hmm~ I have no idea about it. Somehow, I ended up dealing with a lot of lost items today.” |
| Izumi | Ahaha, true that. Sorry, thank you though. |
| Igarashi | “Then, can I ask you a question now?” |
| “Kouhei...Ah, of course you won’t know him. Have you seen a high school student with black hair, one wearing a green-colored uniform like mine?” |
| Izumi | No, I haven’t seen him... |
| Igarashi | “I see...Then, if you happen to see him, can you tell him that Igarashi will be waiting at the meeting place first.” |
| Izumi | Eh? Ah, alright, understood. |
| Igarashi | “Thank you for your help.” |
| *door closes* |
 |
| Izumi | (The Kouhei that he meant, I’m sure he’s speaking about Azami. I wonder if he meant to ask me to go to Room 106 in a roundabout way.) |
| (I’m already this far in, I guess I’ll go) |
 |
| Izumi | …As I thought. In Room 106 there’s also a paper written ‘Unlocked’ on it. |
| (The door’s slightly open as well, let’s take a look at the situation) |
 |
| Kouhei? | “...” |
| Seimei? | “...” |
| Izumi | (As I thought, it’s Kouhei and Seimei. But, there seems to be a terrible mood here somehow...) |
 |
| Seimei | “I heard the news about the apparition, a lone child...What are you doing here.” |
| Kouhei | “It’s already the end of school hour, there’s nothing weird with a student walking around.” |
| “Well...I kinda skipped class today though.” |
| Seimei | “...You mean, you abandoned what you are supposed to do and wander around instead.” |
| Kouhei | “...There’s something that I don’t like there, that’s why I slipped out. You don’t know anything about me, don’t just say anything you like.” |
| Seimei | “What?” |
| Kouhei | “Speaking of which, do you even have time to waste on me. You seem to be busy grumbling about the so called apparition, are you sure you’re alright?” |
| Seimei | “... I see. According to Kou, our way of... Hmm?” |
| Izumi | ! |
| Seimei | “So you’re there!” |
| Izumi | Please wait a minute! Yo, you got it wrong! |
| (I jumped out in a hurry, but I feel that this already happened before, what deja vu...) |
| About that, I just happened to pass by here. |
| Seime | “You’re also here by chance huh... It’s so confusing.” |
| Kouhei | “We were just walking though, the one poking into our business is you isn’t it.” |
| Seimei | “...” |
| Izumi | (They’re back to this terrible mood...! I have to change the topic somehow) |
| Ri, right. Kouhei-kun. |
| Kouhei | “?” |
| Izumi | Just now, Igarashi-kun asked me to tell you that he will be heading to the meeting place first. |
| Kouhei | “Seriously, this is bad... I have to head there immediately.” |
| “Thank you for the message. Then, I’ll be going first.” |
| Seimei | “Wait.” |
| Kouhei | “What is it? You still have something to say?” |
| Seimei | “You, do you happen to know of a place called ‘Garage’?” |
| Kouhei | “I don’t know. Why don’t you just ask that thing you call Shikigami?” |
| *door closes* |
| Izumi | (Garage... Right, at the beginning I was supposed to go to the garage to pick up the magazine) |
| Seimei | “...Your face tells me that you know something about it.” |
| “Young lady, can I ask for your guidance to bring me to this place called ‘Garage’.” |
| Izumi | M, me? I was about to go there, I guess. I don’t really mind... |
| Seimei | “I appreciate it. Then, let’s go.” |
